Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Greenville-Spartanburg SC
247 PM EDT Fri Oct 7 2016

.SYNOPSIS...
Hurricane Matthew will move very near the Georgia and South Carolina
coasts tonight and tomorrow before tracking east late Saturday. A
cold front will sweep across the western Carolinas and Northeast
Georgia Sunday, with cool and dry high pressure settling over the
region through the middle of next week. Cooler than normal
conditions will start the week, with temperatures rebounding to
above average by the end of the next work week.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH SATURDAY/...
As of 230 PM Fri: Wedging high pressure remains centered over
New England, and Hurricane Matthew is currently just northeast
of Daytona Beach. The wedge has become shallow, and while warm
upglide continues atop it, moisture is becoming a bit harder to come
by. While a broad area of light to moderate rainfall is ongoing
over the middle of the CWFA attm, as one might expect there is an
appreciable area upstream of it which has only isolated showers and
areas of drizzle. The consensus from most of the hi-res guidance
suggests the more robust showers will persist thru the afternoon
as they move upslope toward the Blue Ridge, with more scattered
activity over the Piedmont until the first "real" precip bands
blow in this evening.

The progged track of Matthew continues to vary from run to run and
model to model, and though the changes are quite small, there are
significant implications as far as the QPF over our lower Piedmont
zones, including the Charlotte metro. While the 12z NAM and EC
trended drier for those areas, GFS track moves the eye briefly
onshore, and thus tightens the QPF gradient in the aforementioned
area. Latest WPC QPF reflects that, and in collaboration with our
southern and eastern neighboring offices we went with that over the
southeast portion of the area. In anticipation of the increased
forecast, we expanded the Flash Flood Watch to Mecklenburg and
Cabarrus earlier today. However, the official track having shifted
more in our direction, we edged winds up a bit. Furthermore we
can now more confidently say that winds combined with saturated
soils will be enough for trees and powerlines to come down. A Wind
Advisory is being hoisted with this package for the same zones as
are in the FFA to highlight the potential.

Meanwhile, overnight tonight, low pressure moving across northern
Ontario will pull a cold front toward the Appalachian chain. Upslope
flow is progged to develop some precip along the NC/TN border which
will enhance PoPs there Over the course of the day Saturday as
the upper trough associated with the Ontario low swings east. This
brings the cold front more into the area, and Matthew heads back out
to the Atlantic. Drying occurs from the foothills to Piedmont as a
result, with some PoPs lingering along the spine of the mountains
into late day. Max temps will rise back slightly above climo over
the western Upstate (sunshine), but near climo elsewhere.

&&

.SHORT TERM /SATURDAY NIGHT THROUGH MONDAY/...
As of 230 PM Friday, we continue to have some concern about Matthew
lingering into Saturday evening depending on the eventual track and
how quickly the storm exits to the east. If the GFS is correct, we
would have to retain a higher precip chance over the eastern zones.
However, we will stay fairly close to the previous forecast which
had a chance across the area along/east of I-77. Either way, the
precip is expected to taper off quickly and be done by late evening,
with sky clearing as dry air wraps down from the N and NW. The
remainder of the weekend and into early next week should be dry and
relatively benign weather-wise. There will be some concern for wind
on Sunday, at least early in the day, as some higher momentum air
could mix down as the boundary layer deepens in the wake of the
storm. For now, the gust fcst will not meet Advisory criteria, but
this is perhaps the most pressing issue with the short range and
will be further evaluated. Temps will rebound a bit over the wrn
Piedmont and the fcst could be too cool east of the Blue Ridge if
strong enough downslope develops. Upper ridging will build in from
the west Sunday night with high pressure coming in from the NW. This
will bring some of the coolest temps thus far over the mtns with
low/mid 40s common...not quite cool enough yet to worry about frost.
The cold advection with the high building in Monday should keep high
temps just below normal.

&&

.LONG TERM /MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY/...
As of 230 PM Friday, the extended period begins with the SE under
the influence of benign upper ridging, with dry high pressure in
control at the surface. Heights aloft will generally fall beginning
Tuesday night and Wednesday, though a wedge of high pressure will
persist over our area at the surface. An upper trough will arrive
Thursday with an accompanying surface front, but with little
moisture to work with, the frontal passage should be dry. High and
low temperatures will begin slightly below normal Tuesday before
increasing to a few degrees above normal through the end of next
week.

&&

.AVIATION /19Z FRIDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
At KCLT: Expect IFR to prevail through most of the TAF
period. Though the wedge of high pressure currently over the field
will weaken tonight, there will remain enough upglide and moisture
on the north side of Hurricane Matthew to keep the cig locked
in. Brief periods of MVFR cigs are possible during periods of
heavier rain early this aftn, but with a lull in precip expected,
the cigs should return to IFR. Tonight, Matthew's precip bands
will start to swing through. Precip coverage near the field will
be greatest between midnight and daybreak, but remains categorical
essentially thru the end of the period. NE-ly winds will pick up
and become quite gusty overnight and especially Saturday. A few
gusts upwards of 30 kt are not out of the question.

Elsewhere: Precip this afternoon will transition to more of a
Blue Ridge upslope event, providing a lull across portions of
the Piedmont before rain returns tonight with the approach of
Hurricane Matthew. Except for periods of higher cigs associated
with heavier rainfall early on, IFR conditions will persist thru the
night. Areas of fog (and additionally drizzle) will cause periodic
vsby restrictions as well. Peak coverage of Matthew rainfall is
expected in the late evening to early morning hours across the
SC sites and KAVL, slightly later at KHKY. MVFR, perhaps even VFR
cigs return in the wake of the storm, closer to midday.

Outlook: Conditions generally will improve late day Saturday as
Hurricane Matthew moves away from the area, though breezy/gusty
winds will persist into Sunday. Dry high pressure will settle back
over the region in Matthew's wake, with VFR lasting thru early
next week.
