Area forecast discussion, Sep 14, 3:23 PM EDT, 2 hours 13 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Greenville-Spartanburg SC
323 PM EDT Fri Sep 14 2018

.SYNOPSIS...
Florence will continue to track inland through the Carolinas this
this weekend and weaken. This will result in an increasing threat
for widespread flooding later this weekend into early next week.
Drying will occur across the forecast area as Florence pulls away
from the southeast early next week.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH SATURDAY/...
As of 315 PM EDT: Latest satellite imagery continued to show mid and
high level clouds spiraling into the piedmont of the Carolinas from
the west out ahead of Florence. According to the NHC, Florence will
continue to drift westward through the Carolinas this weekend before
lifting north of the region early next week. This will bring
increasing rainfall chances mainly to eastern portions of the
Carolina piedmont through tonight with light to occasionally
moderate rain likely near and to the east of I-77. Dense overcast
cloud cover is expected to drastically limit any instability and
associated thunderstorm threat across this area. The RAP model shows
modest CAPE values this afternoon focused across the SW NC mountains
where isolated showers or thunderstorms will continue to be possible
through this evening. Rain coverage and intensity will increase from
the east Saturday. There is also the slight chance of thunderstorms
along and east of the I-77 corridor. The greatest risk with
thunderstorms looks to be heavy rainfall, although an isolated weak
and brief tornado cannot be ruled out given the potential for
moderate wind shear up to 850 mb. A Flash Flood Watch remains in
effect beginning Saturday morning and continuing into Monday
evening for the threat of heavy rain across the region.

Tightening sfc pressure gradients ahead of the storm have already
led to increasing northerly winds across the region, especially
across far eastern portions of the CWA where peak winds briefly
gusted to 35 knots at Charlotte/Douglas International Airport this
morning. Winds are expected to gradually increase for many areas
through this afternoon before leveling off overnight. However, winds
are expected to generally remain well below advisory levels through
this evening. Winds late tonight may approach advisory levels for
areas near and east of the I-77 corridor and higher elevations of
the Blue Ridge mountains. These gusty winds will likely continue if
not increase Saturday into Saturday evening.

Increasing cloud cover tonight will assist in maintaining well above
normal low temperatures again tonight. A moderate temperature
gradient will likely set up across the forecast area Saturday with
highs only into the 70s along and east of the I-77 corridor warming
to near 90 across far western portions of the Upstate of SC into NE
GA.

&&

.SHORT TERM /SATURDAY NIGHT THROUGH MONDAY NIGHT/...
As of 330 PM EDT Friday: A Flash Flood Watch remains in effect for
Upstate SC and the NW Piedmont for Saturday morning though late
Monday night. Florence will present multiple hazards across the
region with very heavy rainfall, gusty winds, and even a threat
of isolated tornados. Some uncertainty remains with dependency
on exact track of Florence.

Heavy rain from Florence will continue to push west Saturday night
as Florence moves NW and is expected to weaken to a disturbance on
Sunday. While the winds of Florence will be generally decreasing as
the system moves more inland, very heavy rainfall amounts will
continue to be the main threat. High rainfall amounts atop already
saturated soils are expected to produce flash flooding, significant
river rises/possible river flooding, and isolated land slides
likely.

Expect areas of heavy rain to continue Sunday night into Monday
before Florence (or the remnants thereof) lifts NW towards the Ohio
Valley. As this happens, expect precipitation to lift generally
south to north bringing an end to rainfall across upstate SC
late Monday. CLT metro area continues to be area of most concern
with high rainfall amounts in the urbanized area. While,
upslope component of the wind flow could result in enhanced
rainfall amounts across the mountains. Those areas in which
landslides have occurred recently will be more susceptible to
additional landslides. For river flooding, the river flood
potential continues to increase for the Catawba, Yadkin, and
Broad watersheds.

Storm total rainfall (Friday night through Tuesday) amounts ranging
from 10 to 15 inches extending just west of I-77 eastward to the
Charlotte-metro area. Further west, QPF amounts decrease to about 5
to 10 inches extending west of I-77 to Greenville. QPF amounts for
areas south and west will taper off to about 2 to 4 inches.

Strong gusts will still be possible as models continue to show 40-
50kts at 925mb, especially on the northern side of the system.
Another area of concern will be leeward side of mountains, leading
to possible downslope acceleration of winds on Saturday night into
Sunday. Late Sunday into Monday, expect Florence (or remnants) will
lift NW toward the Ohio Valley. The combination of heavy rainfall
and gusty winds on top of already saturated soils could lead to
isolated fallen trees.

As Florence drifts inland, embedded circulations within
thunderstorms could allow for a brief, isolated tornado. SPC
continues to have a a General Thunderstorm risk for most of the FA
Saturday night.

&&

.LONG TERM /TUESDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/...
As of 330 PM EDT Friday: A few showers could affect the Piedmont
NC area as the remnants of Florence continues to move out of the
area - being picked up by the upper level west to east flow.
High pressure will build into the region for the rest of the
work week with mostly dry conditions which will help alleviate
flooding and high river flows from Florence. Temperatures remain
in the 80s during the day and upper 60s to low 70s overnight.

&&

.AVIATION /19Z FRIDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
At KCLT and elsewhere: MVFR cigs will continue to increase from the
east this afternoon and evening ahead of Florence. A few showers
from the far outer bands of the storm are expected for KCLT and
possibly KHKY later this evening into tonight. Low MVFR cigs will
also likely develop after midnight for KAVL. Increasing shower
coverage and intensity are expected Saturday with low MVFR cigs or
lower becoming more widespread during this time. Winds will also be
on the increase and remain mainly northerly through the TAF period.
Depending on the exact track of Florence, LLWS may become a concern
for KCLT near the end of the TAF. Isolated thunderstorms are
possible Saturday afternoon and evening along and east of the I-77
corridor.

Outlook: LLWS concerns may expand to other terminals along and east
of the Appalachian mountains Saturday night into early Sunday.
Expect intermittent MVFR or IFR flight restrictions with periods of
moderate to heavy rain into early Monday as the remnants of Florence
move across the western Carolinas.

...FLASH FLOOD WATCH IN EFFECT FROM SATURDAY MORNING THROUGH MONDAY
EVENING...

This Hazardous Weather Outlook is for piedmont North Carolina,
western North Carolina and upstate South Carolina.

.DAY ONE...Today and tonight.

Isolated showers and thunderstorms will develop this afternoon. Heavy
rainfall and frequent cloud-to-ground lightning are possible in any
thunderstorms that develop.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Saturday through Thursday.

Please listen to NOAA Weather Radio or go to weather.gov on the
Internet for more information about the following hazards.

   Flash Flood Watch.

Tropical cyclone Florence is expected to move slowly westward after
making landfall along the Carolina coast today. Despite weakening
quickly to a tropical storm and tropical depression as it moves west
through the western Carolinas and northeast Georgia, it will bring
very significant impacts to the region through the weekend and
possibly into Monday. Prepare now for flooding rainfall, landslides
along steep terrain in and near the mountains, and gusty winds that
could damage trees and power lines. In addition, the threat of
isolated tornadoes will increase across the area on Sunday. The track
of Florence, and the latest forecast of the elements, will need to
be monitored very closely over the next several days.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...

None.
