.A very moist airmass will persist across the western
Carolinas and Northeast Georgia through tonight. While rain is 
tapering off across much of the area, scattered to numerous 
thunderstorms are expected to redevelop this afternoon and into the 
evening. With the heavy rainfall that has occurred in the past 24 
hours, it will not take much additional rainfall to produce flash 
flooding, especially in areas along the Blue Ridge escarpment.

...FLASH FLOOD WATCH REMAINS IN EFFECT THROUGH LATE TONIGHT...

The Flash Flood Watch continues for

* Portions of northeast Georgia...western North Carolina and upstate 
  South Carolina, including the following areas, in northeast 
  Georgia, Rabun. In western North Carolina, Avery, Buncombe, Burke 
  Mountains, Caldwell Mountains, Eastern McDowell, Graham, Greater 
  Burke, Greater Caldwell, Haywood, Henderson, Macon, Madison, 
  McDowell Mountains, Mitchell, Northern Jackson, Polk Mountains, 
  Rutherford Mountains, Southern Jackson, Swain, Transylvania and 
  Yancey. In upstate South Carolina, Greenville Mountains, Oconee 
  Mountains and Pickens Mountains.

* Through late tonight

* Scattered to numerous thunderstorms are expected to redevelop 
  across the area this afternoon and evening. These will be capable 
  of producing very heavy rainfall rates which could result in rapid 
  development of flash flooding in light of the heavy rain that has 
  fallen across the Watch area during the past 24 hours.

* Additional heavy rainfall over already saturated areas will result 
  in rapid rises along streams and creeks, with quick inundation of 
  low lying areas. Significant flooding of urban areas is also 
  possible.

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

A Flash Flood Watch means that conditions may develop that lead
to flash flooding. Flash flooding is a very dangerous situation.

You should monitor later forecasts and be prepared to take action
should Flash Flood Warnings be issued.

Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Greenville-Spartanburg SC
340 AM EDT Fri Aug 21 2020

.SYNOPSIS...
An upper level trough will persist across the Lower Mississippi River
through Saturday. This will result in high temperatures a little
below normal with elevated rain and thunderstorm chances across the
region. The upper trough will weaken over the weekend, allowing
temperatures and precipitation chances to return to normal as we head
into next week. Attention will turn to the tropics next week as a
potential hurricane is expected to pass Florida on Tuesday.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...
An area of widespread rain with embedded thunder continues to affect
the wrn zones. Precip rates have fallen and lightning has become
less prevalent while updrafts weaken as is evident in warming cloud
tops. Not anticipating a sigfnt hydro threat, but a few poor
drainage areas and low-lying locales could see moderate ponding
across the srn/cent NC mtns.

The atmos will be quite moist today as PWATs remain elevated abv
normal arnd 1.8 inches. This is due to very good moist flux off the
GOM while a l/w h5 trof axis with a closed upper low remains across
the Deep South. The alignment of the upper trof will also provide
good general lift as difl flow persists and periods of vort energy
traverse the flow. Meanwhile...a sfc wedge will remain in place and
trap llvl moisture this morning and hold in widespread clouds and
rain until noon or so. With the aforementioned lift and h85 flow
bringing Atl moisture, expect isol/sct tstms will efficiently
generate by the early afternoon.

Some of these cells will be good rainmakers and any training or
anchoring could create flooding issues. In fact, with the high
antecedent conds and expected coverage of of deep convec over the
wrn zones...will issue a Flash Flood Watch for parts of NE GA, the
higher elevations of the Upstate and the NC mtns effective from 6am
this morning until 6am Sat morning.

Soundings show skinny sbCAPE, yet areas of differential heating will
allow some storms to become severe as an active TMB looks to develop
while the wedge begins to break down late in the afternoon. This
bndry will likely set up across the I-85 corridor and provide a
focusing zone for deep stg/svr convection as it slowly progresses
north into the evening hrs. Overnight...the pattern still looks
highly moist and active with the better coverage of storms and heavy
precip occurring across the wrn zones closer to the upper and mech
lift/forcing. Max temps will be held abt 10 degrees below normal
with a small diurnal drop off to the mid/upper 60s overnight.

&&

.SHORT TERM /SATURDAY THROUGH SUNDAY NIGHT/...
As of 100 AM Fri: The Bermuda High will deepen and retrograde
slightly from Saturday through Monday morning. A light but moist
southerly to southwesterly flow should persist thru the period. The
well defined shortwave over the lower OH and TN valleys at the
start of the period will fill and basically be absorbed into
a shortwave passing across the northern Great Lakes. A lobe of
vorticity associated with the wave looks to swing across our CWA
Saturday afternoon and evening, which in light of the seasonable
CAPE progs and southerly flow, would suggest at least climatological
scattered to numerous PoPs; model QPF is uncharacteristically
muted on the NAM and Canadian during the diurnal max Saturday,
perhaps reflecting the subsidence associated with the ridge. The NAM
and Canadian are a little slower to lift the shortwave out of the
region, which may explain their uptick in QPF Saturday night. Lapse
rates and buoyancy appear to be no better Sunday, and perhaps even
a bit worse due to the continued building of the ridge. PWATs will
rebound, though, and the additional moisture may make up for that,
so PoPs are only about 10 percent lower. Max temps will be near
climo, with mins a bit above climo. Storm motion should be fairly
slow owing to weak flow within the column, and locally heavy rain
(particularly Sunday) could maintain wet antecedent conditions
heading into what could be an active medium range.

&&

.LONG TERM /MONDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/...
As of 245 AM Fri: The available deterministic models are fairly
close to the hurricane models in taking TD 14 into the far eastern
Gulf of Mexico early in the medium range. For what it's worth,
they similarly agree on TD 13 heading northward toward the Texas
coast. The systems will approach the CONUS within the relative
weakness between a deep anticyclone centered over the Rockies
and that associated with the Bermuda High. If nothing else
their arrival should bring abundant moisture to a broad swath
of the Southern states, but it is not yet clear how that will be
distributed and therefore how pronounced an impact that moisture
will have in our CWA. Monday and Tuesday afternoons could end up
with initiation/coverage suppressed by either poor lapse rates
associated with the deep ridge or by subsidence around the eastern
Gulf storm. PoPs below climo look warranted those days, at any
rate. Temps should rise back a little above climo, especially if
we manage to stay at least partly sunny.

A shortwave will dig into eastern Canada by the middle of next week,
carrying a cold front into the Northeast or maybe even Mid-Atlantic
(GFS is most bullish in that sense). If that front were to reach
our area in conjunction with the remnant of one of these TCs, the
latter half of next week could be especially wet. Model consensus
is good enough on the tropical moisture and QPF to at least trend
higher on PoPs from the early week, and lower on temps by Thursday.

&&

.AVIATION /08Z FRIDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...
At KCLT and Elsewhere: An active and changing wx pattern will
persist across all TAF sites thru the period. Ongoing convection
will linger this morning across the wrn zones and bring periodic low
CIGs and VSBY into the MVFR/IFR range at KAVL and KHKY over the next
couple hrs. Expect all sites to drop into MVFR/IFR with TEMPO LIFR
or VLIFR flight cats before daybreak as the atmos remains quite
moist. A ridge of hipres will keep CIGS low, likely in the IFR
range, thru noon with some lifting and scattering possible by the
afternoon. The ridge axis begins to break down in the later
afternoon and this will bring a bndry north along the I-85 corridor
where stg/svr tstms will be possible while the whole line pushes
northeast into the evening affecting all TAF sites with either TS,
VCTS, or PROB30 TSRA with flight restrictions thru the period. Winds
will remain aligned ne/ly outside the mtn valleys, with a shift to
se/ly at KCLT aft 02z. Winds at KAVL will remain upvalley generally
nw/ly to nne/ly.

Outlook: Coverage should then steadily decline for each
afternoon/evening from Sat into early next week.  Fog and low
stratus restrictions will be possible each morning, especially over
the usual mountain valleys.
