07What forecasters said that day
The local office's own words before this severe thunderstorm warning went out, as it sent them, from the Iowa Environmental Mesonet's archive of National Weather Service text.
NWS Greenville-Spartanburg, SC wrote its last area forecast discussion before this severe thunderstorm warning went out at Jun 22, 4:57 PM EDT, 16 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Jun 22, 4:57 PM EDT, 16 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Greenville-Spartanburg SC
457 PM EDT WED JUN 22 2016
.SYNOPSIS...
A weak area of surface low pressure will remain across the foothills
and Piedmont through Thursday...before a slow moving cold front
pushes in from the north early Friday. This front will become
stationary across the region over the weekend. Another weak cold
front is forecast to reach the forecast area early next week.
&&
.NEAR TERM /THROUGH THURSDAY/...
As of 440 pm EDT, coverage remains fairly reserved in the stout WNW
flow aloft late this afternoon. Scattered development continues
mainly over the foothills and piedmont of western NC ahead of an
approaching upper vorticity lobe. Although most cells are not
achieving objective severe storm criteria of 55 dBZ cores reaching
the mid 20 kft range, high DCAPE values around 1200 J/kg appear to
be contributing to strong to marginally severe gusts. A few more
warnings are possible through mid evening before the activity wanes.
After a mild night, expect a similar situation on Thursday with
another impulse in the northwesterly flow aloft aiding the
development of afternoon thunderstorms. Max temperatures should run
nearly 10 degrees above climo.
&&
.SHORT TERM /THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY NIGHT/...
As of 200 PM Wednesday...A backdoor cold front will sag into the
area overnight Thursday night, as an upper trough digs slightly
along the East Coast. The front will stall out over the area thru
Friday, then drift a little further south by Saturday morning. The
operational models and CAMs that go out through Thursday night agree
on convection entering the area from the north or northwest, as
instability lingers with the approaching front. PoPs will remain in
the chance range through the night across NC and slight chance over
most of the Upstate and NE GA. Thursday night temps will be elevated
with the increased moisture as the front moves in.
Friday...the environment looks similar to Wednesday's, with an axis
of 1500-2500 J/kg of SBCAPE and 25-35 kt of northwesterly bulk shear
over the CWFA. The main difference is that the front will be over
the area to provide better convergence for convection. So solid
chance PoPs will be forecast for the entire CWFA. The environment
should support a few severe storms, with enough shear for possibly
some rotating updrafts and/or multicell clusters. The Day 3 SPC
convective outlook has a slight risk from the Charlotte area and
south and east, with a marginal risk across the rest of the CWFA.
High temps will be in the mid 90s south of the front and upper 80s
to lower 90s elsewhere.
Friday night and Saturday...the front is expected to continue to
drift to the south into central GA and southern SC. However,
moisture and instby will linger across the mountains and the upper
Savannah Valley. The eastern half of the CWFA looks less unstable,
but still some CAPE to warrant a slight chc. Temps will be closer to
normal as slightly cooler air filters in from the north.
&&
.LONG TERM /SATURDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
As of 155 PM Wednesday...No sigfnt changes were needed to the going
fcst. The ulvl ridge will dominate the pattern Sun as a sfc bndry
remains just south of the fcst area. The models keep the best
moisture flux focused across the wrn zones with e/ly upslope llvl
flow. Thus...will keep pops in the low/mid chance range west and
slgt chances east. The atmos becomes moist through the column Sun
night with pwats reaching arnd 1.7 inches. This will occur in
advance of weak cold front...which will allow for better afternoon
tstm coverage cwfa/wide. The front will have little upper support
nor a distinct thermo bndry as the associated occluded sfc low will
cross nrn Canada...so will not anticipate a sigfnt svr threat with
the fropa. However...the op models are in good agreement with the
amount of destabilization Mon with around 1500 J/kg developing by
mid afternoon. So...will expect increased tstm coverge Mon and the
going mid chance to mtn likelys still look good. The front will
stall/wash out over the area as broad trof encompasses the region
Tue...so similar -shra/tstm coverage is anticipated. Max temps will
remain arnd normal through the period...with mins held a cat or so
above normal.
&&
.AVIATION /21Z WEDNESDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...
At KCLT: Given convection to the north and west, the current tempo
TSRA through 01Z appears warranted. Outside of thunderstorms, a
general pattern will persist with a weak trough in the lee of the
Appalachians producing weak southwesterly surface winds with
occasional gust of 10 to 15 kts late this afternoon and again
tomorrow.
Elsewhere: Most late day convection has been developing east of the
mountain and foothill sites and TEMPO TSRA may soon be removed.
Otherwise, a general pattern of northwesterly flow aloft and a weak
surface trough in the lee of the mountains will continue for another
day. Dewpoints are holding up better this afternoon, but little
development off the high terrain has happened near the TAF sites.
Any lingering storms will weaken diurnally after 01Z. Winds will be
variable to southwesterly with occasional gust to 15kts in the
afternoon. If sufficient rain falls, some patchy fog may form
Thursday morning.
Outlook: Diurnal convection each day may lead to brief restrictions
through the weekend. Chances for early morning mountain valley fog
and low stratus will also gradually increase.
