Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Greenville-Spartanburg SC
804 PM EDT Fri Jun 1 2018

.SYNOPSIS...
A moist airmass will persist through the weekend keeping a chance of
showers and thunderstorms in the forecast. A drier and seasonable
air mass will arrive behind a passing cold front early next week.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH SATURDAY/...
As of 510 pm: Convection has gotten going over the past couple of
hours across the NC Foothills and Northern Piedmont, as well as,
NE Georgia. A handful of severe thunderstorm warnings have already
been issued on the strongest storms with more warnings expected
over the next few hours. Deep layer shear will begin increasing
from the west over the next several hours, but for the most part,
we're still expecting mostly pulse cells, or perhaps some small-scale
multicell clustering. In terms of any lingering hydro threat, it's
looking like the better coverage will remain east and south of the
areas with the most dire antecedent conditions, but still cannot
completely rule out a risk of localized flash flooding.

Convection should diminish later this evening in typical fashion,
although a low level NW flow developing in the wake of a mid-level
short wave trough could allow for the occasional shower along the
Tennessee border. Min temps will continue to run a few degrees above
normal. With weak subsidence developing downstream of a TN/OH Valley
short wave ridge, along with weak downslope flow, deep convection
may initially have a tough go of it on Saturday. However, forecast
soundings indicate more than ample instability, with little
inhibition. As such, scattered convection should eventually fire
along across the ridge tops and move southeast, warranting 30-50
pops across the mountains, and 20-30 across the Piedmont. Max temps
will be similar to today's readings.

&&

.SHORT TERM /SATURDAY NIGHT THROUGH MONDAY/...
As of 2:35 PM Friday: The first part of this forecast cycle should
feature an end to lingering showers and thunderstorms Saturday
evening. This is a result of the diurnal cycle ending and the first
upper level trough shifting off to the east.

We may have a short period of upper level ridging late Saturday
night into Sunday morning. But that will be short lived as a second
trough digs rapidly (northwesterly flow aloft )into our forecast
area (FA), roughly late Sunday morning into Sunday evening. This
upper level trough will be accompanied by a secondary cold front.

The combination of frontal convergence and a decent lobe of energy
with the system, should tap residual moisture allowing for updrafts
and scattered showers and thunderstorms to develop. CAPES remain
very respectable, between 1000-2000 J/KG, and 0-6km bulk shear is up
at around 30 kts. However, there is a fair amount of inhibition, and
potential warm layer persisting. We have edged the POPS Sunday up
slightly and will watch for later changes in the convective
parameters.

The showers and thunderstorms should wane Sunday evening, with dry
conditions by Monday morning.

We should remain generally under a northwest flow aloft Monday with
dry conditions. The exception might be in our northern NC mountains
with a cool pool, and a combination of lingering moisture. As a
resul we will carry a few showers Monday afternoon.

Final note on the shower and thunderstorm potential in this period:
it appears showers and thunderstorms will be moving along, based on
sounding information. However we will monitor any slowing of the
showers and storms which might cause a local flash flood threat.

In the temperature department, the thermal profiles are showing a
nice warm-up Sunday, before the frontal passage. Following into
Monday we should shave at least a few degrees (at least) in
comparison to Sunday.

&&

.LONG TERM /MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY/...
As of 200 PM Friday: Much drier air continues to filter across the
region Monday night and Tuesday on both the GFS and ECMWF. The GFS
has surface high pressure centered over the SE States late Tuesday.
A backdoor cool front drops down mid week but timing is different
from GFS and EC. The EC keeps us dry through the late week although
low pressure over north Florida to offshore SC brings some moisture
near piedmont at the end of the week. The GFS now has increasing
moisture late in the week with the backdoor front stalling over our
area Thursday with a shortwave dropping down from NW on Friday with
good coverage of convection to start the weekend. Since this is the
first run with this increased moisture, will hold off and only
increase POPs just a tad. Temps near normal.

&&

.AVIATION /00Z SATURDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
At KCLT and elsewhere: We've had some impressive thunderstorms
develop across the area late this afternoon and early this evening.
The convection is currently moving east across the SC Upstate and
NC Piedmont and should move out of our area over the next few hours.
I kept a TEMPO at KCLT for reduced visby and TSRA from 00 to 02z
for any lingering convection and prevailing SHRA at KAND for the
same time period. Occurrence of fog and/or low stratus late tonight/
early tomorrow will be hit and miss with those sites that received
decent rainfall carrying restrictions starting around 10z. SWLY
winds are expected to persist through the overnight becoming more
WLY and then NWLY tomorrow afternoon/evening.

Outlook: Scattered afternoon/evening showers and thunderstorms,
along with morning fog at a few locations and/or low cigs are possible
each day through Sunday night. Drier high pressure will build in from
the NW on Monday, resulting in lower convective potential and less
potential for restrictions thru the middle of next week.
