Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Greenville-Spartanburg SC
159 PM EDT THU JUN 30 2016

.SYNOPSIS...
Weak high pressure currently in place over the Mid West will drift
slowly eastward toward the area by the end of the week. A slow
moving cold front will stall out south of the area before slowly
pushing northward and moving north of the area by the beginning of
next week.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...
As of 200 PM EDT Thursday... We continue to make adjustments for
clouds, temperatures and POPS this afternoon. Stratus still hanging
tuff in some areas, but should continue to mix.

CAPE and DCAPE from SPC tools suggest active thunderstorm
afternoon/evening, as weak short waves cross the region, and
intercepts increasingly unstable air. Sounding profile look like
wind damaging episodes the primary hazard.

Convection should last into the evening before waning. Can not rule
out some fog and ceilings again, but we were not that aggressive.

&&

.SHORT TERM /FRIDAY THROUGH SATURDAY NIGHT/...
As of 155 AM EDT Thursday: Upper trough axis moves east of the area
Friday. Zonal flow sets up by Saturday with a weak short wave moving
through the flow north of the area. A weak frontal boundary drops
into the area Friday and stalls over the area for Saturday. Despite
the boundary moving in, the low levels will be much drier on Friday
leading to meager instability. There will be enough instability and
low level forcing for isolated diurnal convection however. Precip
chances increase Saturday as low level moisture surges back in ahead
of a surface wave moving along the front. PoP trends will remain
mainly diurnal on Saturday, but convection could linger through the
night. Temps will remain a few degrees above normal.

&&

.LONG TERM /SUNDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
As of 305 AM EDT Thursday: Zonal flow remains over the area as a
subtropical ridge builds across FL and into the Gulf of Mexico. Weak
short wave activity crosses the area in the zonal flow Sunday before
a stronger short wave moves into or crosses the area Monday and
Tuesday. The guidance is in some disagreement on the strength of
this short wave and its resultant speed. An additional short wave
drops into the area Wednesday on one model. On the other, the
stronger slowly moving short wave drops into the area. Either way,
it looks like there will be upper forcing and support for lift each
day.

At the surface, the frontal boundary remains across the area on
Sunday then lifts north on Monday. The GFS has a strong surface low
moving between the Great Lakes and OH valley on Tuesday, while the
ECMWF has a faster low moving off shore from that area Tuesday. Both
the ECMWF and GFS stall the trailing front across the area
Wednesday. Given the uncertainty, will go with a guidance blend
which keeps mainly scattered diurnal convection across the area each
day. While it's still too early to pin down the best period, heavy
rainfall and severe storms may be develop at some point. Temps start
the period near or a little below normal on Sunday rising into the
low to mid 90s by Tuesday and Wednesday.

&&

.AVIATION /18Z THURSDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...
At KCLT and the SC Sites:  Low stratus continues to waffle around
the region, lifting in some areas and more dense in others. Still
think with additional heating, mixing will occur, although it will
be offset to a certain degree by low level moisture.

For the Charlotte airfield, since the clouds are nicely tucked in,
we have moved and POP in the CLT TAF until this evening. Even with
the clouds meso scale guide continues to indicate the atmosphere
destabizing

Other POP timing adjustements were made as well for the remainder of
the TAF sites. We will continue monitor short term trends and adjust
as needed.

We have not gone at low with ceilings overnight, with slightly drier
air and a bit of mixing.

Outlook: Diurnally favored shra/tsra through the rest of the week,
with restrictions possible adjacent to said convection, as well as
each morning where moderate/heavy rainfall occurred previously.
Shra/tsra chances increase further Saturday into Sunday as another
cold front drops in from the north.
