KRENTZWhat forecasters said that day
The local office's own words before this flash flood 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 flash flood warning went out at May 24, 5:30 PM EDT, 34 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, May 24, 5:30 PM EDT, 34 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Greenville-Spartanburg SC
530 PM EDT Wed May 24 2017
.SYNOPSIS...
An area of low pressure to our west will push a warm front northward
through the area tonight. Unstable conditions south of the front
will lead to showers and thunderstorms producing heavy rain. A few
more showers may occur Thursday before drier and warmer conditions
return to end the work week.
&&
.NEAR TERM /THROUGH THURSDAY/...
As of 520 PM EDT: The forecast has been updated to clear the Tornado
Watch from Madison County to Jackson County NC through Habersham GA
and points west. A watch extension will be considered for eastern
sections, but low level flow is starting to veer all but the I-77
corridor through 6 pm. The final round of strong convection is
lining up across the western Upstate and LAPS sbCAPE values and sfc
to 1 km shear remaining robust may require a local extension of the
TOR watch ahead of this feature.
Otherwise, the situation remains dynamic over the next 12 hours as a
deep upper low drops down across the mid-MS Valley region to the TN
Valley region through the overnight hours. All manner of mid/upper
forcing will be brought to bear with excellent upper divergence as a
140+ kt jet streak lifts out of the upper trof and a strong short
wave also rotates around and lifts NE across the fcst area. Once the
initial round of supercellular convection moves on out, we could
still get some redevelopment closer to the actual cold front as seen
on upstream radars over middle TN and nrn AL. Severe weather will be
less likely with this activity as it will be moving in as the
instability will be on the wane. Cannot rule out flooding in any
areas that have repeat storms, given the wet soil conditions, so the
Flood Watch will be left in place for the time being. Convection
should pare back to the mtns late tonight once the main wave lifts
out and the upper divergence also moves NE.
On Thursday, the upper low will rotate past our area and then off to
the Mid-Atlantic region. We retain enough instability with cold air
aloft and enough forcing with the cyclonic flow that some shower
activity can be expected. Thunderstorms will probably be confined to
the Carolina Piedmont. Temps should be below normal.
&&
.SHORT TERM /THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY/...
As of 230 PM EDT Wednesday: The sharp trough, and associated upper
level low pressure system, we have been dealing with will shift to
the east of our forecast area (FA) Thursday evening. The last of the
convection should be ending Thursday evening in the NC mountains.
As the upper low lifts northeast into New England we will remain in
a broad northwest flow aloft. Meanwhile high pressure from the Gulf
of Mexico will build north into the Tennessee Valley. Moisture will
be on a downward swing, and with the high pressure system close
enough, we should have a dry Friday.
The upper flow will deamplify Friday night and Saturday, with
ripples of energy riding east/southeast from the Mississippi Valley
into parts of the southeast. At the same time, a weak frontal
boundary will try to drop south (from Kentucky and Virginia), but
will encounter the southern end of the westerlies and halt.
Nevertheless there appears to be a boundary of sorts (depending on
model preference) which allows some moisture to pool and
precipitation to develop. The GFS is the fastest, with the NAM and
European Models slower. Since the Gulf of Mexico is cutoff from this
scenario, we have sided with the slower precipitation guide Friday
night, limited late in the NC mountains. We will have chance, or
small chance, pops Saturday, perhaps reaching down to near the SC/NC
state line and NE Georgia.
Interestingly the SB Capes from both the GFS and NAM are hefty for
Saturday. However, a stout cap is in place. Therefore without a
strong trigger it might be difficult to realize the instability.
In the temperature department our thermal profile signals a warming
trend into Saturday, which we will follow.
&&
.LONG TERM /SATURDAY NIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
As of 215 pm EDT Wednesday: the extended fcst picks up at 00z on
Sunday with flattening upper ridging over the southeast and another
broad upper trof digging down over the Western Great Lakes. The long
range models still have some lobes of mid to upper lvl shortwave
energy passing just to our north on Sunday, however the main trof
will be slow to progress eastward and isn't expected to move over
the fcst area until late Tues into early Wed. At the sfc, a cold
front will approach the CWFA early Sunday but is not expected to
move thru the CWFA until Monday. It appears to become stationary
just to our SE by early Tues and lingers over the area until another,
more robust cold front pushes thru the CWFA on Wed into early Thurs.
As for the sensible fcst, no significant changes were made. We still
have solid chances for convection on Sunday and Monday, and slight
to solid chances on Tuesday and Wednesday with the highest POPs
generally over the higher terrain. Temps will remain above climatology
thru the period with a slight cooling trend towards the end of the
period.
&&
.AVIATION /22Z WEDNESDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...
At KCLT and elsewhere: Ceilings will remain locally lower (MVFR) in
heavy rain with MVFR vsby or worse at times. The widespread
precipitation is moving east of KCLT but another round will affect
TAF sites from the west through mid evening just ahead of the cold
front. In the wake of the convection, ceiling should come up to VFR
for several hours, before dropping back down in the early morning
hours. Winds should be southerly through the evening hours, and then
with a switch to SW or WSW in the early morning hours (NW in the
Mtns). Surface winds will remain S to SW except become NW at KAVL.
Outlook: Scattered showers and thunderstorms will continue on
Thursday afternoon as the upper trough passes. Drying is expected to
finally occur Thursday night through Saturday.
