NWS Greenville-Spartanburg, SC wrote its last area forecast discussion before the first event at Jul 8, 2:00 PM EST, 2 hours 58 minutes earlier.
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE GREENVILLE-SPARTANBURG SC 300 PM EDT SUN JUL 8 2001 PRIMARY FORECAST CONCERN THIS PACKAGE IS WHAT TO DO WITH DEVELOPING UPSTREAM MCS. CURRENTLY INTENSE CONVECTION IS FIRING ALONG H8 AREA OF CONVERGENCE...OVER SE OH/NRN KY. MODELS ARE NOT HANDLING THIS SYSTEM WELL AS THEY DON/T DEVELOP ANY ORGANIZED CONVECTION UNTIL AROUND 06Z (INTERESTINGLY ENUF...ABOUT WHERE CONVECTION IS NOW). I SUPPOSE THIS BATCH COULD DIE OUT...BUT WITH 30 KTS OF SHEAR AND GOES SOUNDER LIS OF -10 FEEDING IT...I HAVE MY DOUBTS. SO THE QUESTION IS...WHERE WL IT GO? LAST NGHTS MCS TRACKED JUST ABOUT ALONG THE -10 DEG C LINE AT H7. TNGT...THE -10 DEG TEMPS HAVE ALL BUT VANISHED AS THE WORKED OVER AIRMASS HAS LOST A LOT OF THE ELEVATED MIXED LAYER CHARACTERISTICS OF DAYS PAST. STILL...-8 DEG TEMP LINE LOOK GOOD TNGT...WHICH PRETTY MUCH TAKES IT RIGHT ACROSS THE CWA. BY LATE TNGT THE FLOW TURNS ALMOST DUE N...AND WEAKENS SOME...SO THE SYSTEM PROBABLY WILL NOT BE AS STRONG AS THE ONE LAST NGHT...BUT CERTAINLY CAN/T RULE OUT SOME STRONG WINDS AS THE MCS FIRST GETS HERE. THUS...PLAN TO MENTION SOME POSSIBLY SEVERE IN THE MTN ZONES. W/DIFFULENT THICKNESS PATTERN ALOFT...SOME TRAINING HEAVY RAIN ALSO POSSIBLE. WON/T ISSUE A FFA DUE TO SOME UNCERTAINTY ON TRACK OF MCS WL LOWER TEMPS ABOUT 5 TO 7 DEG TMRW TO ACCOUNT FOR DEBRIS LEFT OVER FROM MCS. IF ETA IS RIGHT...MORE CONVECTION MAY FIRE ABOUT DAWN OVER THE AREA. HOWEVER...SHEAR BECOMES MUCH WEAKER TMRW. AND WHAT SHEAR THERE IS...AN AXIS OF H7 25KT WNDS...RETROGRADE INTO CENTRAL TN AND NRN AL/GA IN RESPONSE TO HGHT FALLS OVER THE E. LOW CHANCE POPS MON NGHT AND TUE. W/ONLY WEAK NW FLOW...THESE WL LIKELY BE MORE OF THE TYPICAL SUMMERTIME DIURNALLY DRIVEN STUFF. NCEP CONTINUES TO ADVERTISE A RATHER SUBSTANTIAL FROPA EARLY WED. LATEST AVN LOOKS AWFULLY WEAK WITH THE FRONT...TO THE POINT THAT NW FLOW CONVECTION CONTINUES WED AND THU. HOWEVER...WL GO WITH NCEP IDEA AND IGNORE THE OUTLIER AVN. THUS...DRY WED-FRI...WITH CHANCE TSRA FRI NGHT-SUN AS SFC BNDRY LIFTS BACK INTO THE REGION.

A WARM AND HUMID AIR MASS IN PLACE ACROSS THE WESTERN CAROLINAS THIS AFTERNOON HAS THE POTENTIAL TO BECOME QUITE UNSTABLE IN SOME LOCATIONS LATER TODAY. HOWEVER...IT REMAINS TO BE SEEN IF THIS POTENTIAL INSTABILITY WILL MATERIALIZE. A THICK CLOUD DECK WILL LIMIT THE AMOUNT OF SUN...AND INSTABILITY... ACROSS THE NORTH CAROLINA FOOTHILLS AND PIEDMONT...AND MUCH OF UPSTATE SOUTH CAROLINA. UNLESS THE CLOUDS THIN DRAMATICALLY...THE AREA TO THE EAST OF MARION...RUTHERFORDTON...GAFFNEY...AND CHESTER HAS A LOW CHANCE OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORM DEVELOPMENT THROUGH THIS EVENING. HOWEVER...PERSISTENT BANDS OF RAIN AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL CONTINUE TO MOVE ACROSS THE NORTHWEST PIEDMONT COUNTIES. LOCATIONS TO THE EAST OF TAYLORSVILLE...MOORESVILLE...METRO CHARLOTTE...AND MONROE COULD RECEIVE ENOUGH RAIN TO CAUSE SOME MINOR FLOODING OF LOW LYING AREAS. THE BEST CHANCE FOR SIGNIFICANT THUNDERSTORM DEVELOPMENT THROUGH EARLY EVENING WILL BE THE AREA ROUGHLY TO THE WEST OF A LINE FROM BRYSON CITY AND FRANKLIN TO SENECA...ANDERSON...AND GREENWOOD... WHERE THE THINNER CLOUD COVER WILL ALLOW MORE HEATING. A FEW OF THE THUNDERSTORMS THAT DEVELOP COULD PRODUCE WIND GUSTS OF 50 TO 60 MPH. DURING THE EARLY PART OF THE EVENING...THUNDERSTORMS WILL APPROACH THE NORTH CAROLINA MOUNTAINS FROM EASTERN KENTUCKY...SOUTHWEST VIRGINIA...AND NORTHEAST TENNESSEE. IF THE STORMS HOLD TOGETHER... THEY COULD MOVE INTO THE MOUNTAINS AFTER 7 PM OR SO...WITH THE POTENTIAL TO PRODUCE DAMAGING WIND GUSTS AND HEAVY RAIN. SPOTTER GROUPS SHOULD BE PREPARED TO ACTIVATE QUICKLY LATE THIS AFTERNOON AND THIS EVENING. DISPATCHERS SHOULD ENSURE COUNTY EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT OFFICIALS ARE AWARE OF THIS INFORMATION. MOORE
