What forecasters said that day
The local office's own words before this wind advisory 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 wind advisory went out at Apr 11, 1:44 PM EDT, 1 hour 6 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Apr 11, 1:44 PM EDT, 1 hour 6 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Greenville-Spartanburg SC 144 PM EDT Thu Apr 11 2024 .SYNOPSIS... A cold front moves east and off the Carolina coast tonight as drier air filters into our region from the west and northwest. Very windy conditions develop Friday into Saturday. Dry and warm weather returns for the weekend into the middle of next week. && .NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/... As of 1210 PM EDT Thursday: Rain chances continue across mainly the western third of the forecast area this afternoon. Have seen a lull in lightning activity since the precious AFD update. Areas that saw some breaks cloud cover are starting to fill back in. Made a few minor tweaks to both PoPs and thunder again based on the latest trends. Also made some tweaks to winds through tonight. Otherwise, the forecast remains on track. A strong low pressure system will lift NE across the TN Valley today. HREF depicts shower and thunderstorm simulated reflectivity through early afternoon, with the higher activity concentrated across the mountains and eastern NC Piedmont. Moving into the afternoon period, severe chances look low but remain non-zero. The HRRR and NAM do show some redevelopment of sbCAPE of at least 500 J/kg, but this will greatly depend on if afternoon clouds can break and allow for daytime heating. Additionally, if this instability can materialize, the better forcing from the front is expected to push into the region at that time. The RAP and NAM indicate a strong upper jet with 60-70 kts of EFF shear. DCAPE also has the potential to be high, between 600-800 J/kg, which could lead to gusty and possible damaging winds should any storms develop. SPC keeps the CWA in a Day 1 MRGL as well. If these ingredients can align, the main concern for the afternoon period will be strong, damaging winds from the outflow of any severe storm. Cloud-to-ground lightning could also be a concern. But again, this is all contingent on the instability and better forcing aligning this afternoon. Once the FROPA clears the CWA through tonight, precip chances will be wiped out for the most part as the drier air behind the boundary filters in. Aloft, the low pressure system strengthens over the Great Lakes and tightens the pressure gradient, increasing wind speeds and gusts late this afternoon and through the end of the period. Latest guidance does not have gusts reaching wind advisory criteria, therefore one is not planned to be issued. Expect gusts around 30-40 mph across most of the CWA through at least midnight and decreasing through early Friday morning for a brief period before picking back up in the short term. Overall, storm chances and winds will be the main story for this period. Temperatures will be warm today with overnight temps dipping into the 40s across the mountains and low 50s in the Piedmont. && .SHORT TERM /FRIDAY THROUGH SATURDAY NIGHT/... As of 325 AM Thursday: A strong short wave rotates through the area Friday with deep NW flow over the area. Deeper moisture lingers over the mountains, so expect scattered convection there with the forcing and upslope flow. Isolated convection will spread east across the NC foothills and Piedmont during the afternoon where moisture and forcing move through. NE GA and the Upstate will remain dry due to downslope flow and lack of forcing. The bigger story will be the wind. Deep mixing and strong H85 flow will allow wind gusts to 50 mph across much of the mountains and up to 40 mph elsewhere. A Wind Advisory will likely be needed for the mountains, but is more uncertain elsewhere. Any uptick in expected wind speeds would put at least some of the non-mountain counties into Advisory criteria. Convection diminishes Friday evening as moisture and forcing diminish. Winds also taper off outside of the mountains, but gusts to 50 mph will linger across the higher elevations. Windy conditions continue across the mountains Saturday with breezy conditions elsewhere. A high elevation Wind Advisory may still be needed. Winds taper off all areas Saturday night. Highs Friday will be near normal outside of the mountains and up to 10 degrees below normal across the mountains. Highs rise to slightly above normal across the mountains Saturday and up to 5 degrees elsewhere. RH values drop into the 25 to 30 percent range outside of the mountains Friday and 20 to 25 percent range most locations Saturday. With the very gusty winds, fire weather could become a concern, especially if fuels dry out. Lows will be near normal Friday night then rise a couple of degrees Saturday night. && .LONG TERM /SUNDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/... As of 240 AM Thursday: A weak short wave crosses the area in NW flow on Sunday. An upper ridge builds in through Tuesday as an upper low moves from the Desert SW to the Midwest. A back door cold front drops south toward the area Sunday and Monday then lifts back northward on Tuesday. Expect a dry forecast to continue as moisture and forcing remain sparse. Highs will be 10 to 15 degrees above normal with lows rising into that range as well. Windy to breezy conditions linger on Sunday, but winds won't be as high as previous days. Some weak short wave energy may cross the area Wednesday rotating around the upper low. A cold front approaches from the west but stalls west of the Appalachians. Therefore, expect the dry forecast to continue. Highs will remain nearly steady on Wednesday. && .AVIATION /18Z THURSDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/... At KCLT and elsewhere: Rain is lifting north across the terminals this afternoon, with the exception of KAND. No lightning is currently present in this activity. KAND is currently seeing dry conditions but the terminal should see RA/TSRA chances increase in the next hour or two. MVFR cigs are noted across most of the terminals as of 18Z, but KAVL and KHKY are still seeing IFR cigs thanks to the heavier pockets of RA. Where there is rain vsbys are ranging from VFR to IFR. Thick clouds remain in place, but starting to see clouds thin out across the far southern SC Upstate. Wind direction is primarily S/SSE this afternoon, but should gradually turn SW over the next few hours. Wind gusts are noted across most of the terminals this afternoon, and winds should gradually increase through this evening. There are expected to be breaks in cloud cover throughout this afternoon, which may allow instability to increase. Thus, have TEMPOs for TSRA for all terminals this afternoon and early evening. High-res guidance continues to show RA developing behind the line of convection this afternoon, so have maintained VCSH mention east of the mountains. Went with a PROB30 at KAVL for RA from 0300Z-0500Z as this terminal will have the best potential to see RA stick around through late tonight. Winds will turn NW across the mountains tonight, remaining NW on Friday. Winds elsewhere will remain SW tonight before toggling W on Friday. Wind gusts will increase across the mountains overnight while gradually decreasing elsewhere overnight into daybreak Friday. LLWS may be possible at KAVL shortly after midnight, but it looks too borderline and brief to mention in the TAF at this time. Gusty winds will stick around across the mountains on Friday, with gusts increasing east of the mountains again on Friday. Drier conditions are expected on Friday, but some showers may break containment of the mountains Friday afternoon. With this being towards the end of the TAF period, did not mention this possibility with the 18Z TAFs. Outlook: Wind gusts will gradually taper off Friday night east of the mountains, but will remain gusty across the North Carolina mountains through Saturday. VFR conditions will persist this weekend and early next week as high pressure builds across the terminals. && .GSP WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... GA...None. NC...None.
