AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE GREENVILLE-SPARTANBURG SC 340 PM EDT WED JUN 13 2001 SATELLITE IMAGERY...RADAR...AND SURFACE OBSERVATIONS SHOW SUBTROPICAL LOW IN THE VICINITY OF FLORENCE THIS AFTERNOON...MOVING SLOWLY OFF TO THE EAST. LATEST MODEL RUNS SHOW THIS COMPACT SYSTEM TRUDGING OFF TO THE EAST OVERNIGHT TO THE NC COASTAL PLAINS...WHERE IT GRINDS TO A HALT AS AN UPPER RIDGE BUILDS OVER NY/NEW ENGLAND AND BLOCKS ITS ESCAPE. THIS SYSTEM HAS A HISTORY OF CRAWLING ALONG SO THIS SEEMS REASONABLE...THUS THE SLOWER ETA SOLUTION IS FAVORED IN KEEPING THE LOW IN THE PICTURE THROUGH FRIDAY. MOST OF THE PRECIP WRAPPING AROUND THE NW SIDE OF THE LOW IS EXPECTED TO MOVE OUT OF UNION COUNTY NC BY MIDNIGHT OR THEREABOUTS. IN THE MEAN TIME...THE FLASH FLOOD WATCH FOR UNION COUNTY NC WILL CONTINUE THROUGH 8 PM AND MAY BE EXTENDED IF ADDITIONAL RAIN BANDS WRAP IN FROM CENTRAL NC. WILL GO WITH A LIKELY POP IN THAT ZONE...WITH CHANCE ELSEWHERE TO HANDLE ONGOING CONVECTION. BY THURSDAY MORNING...THE LOW IS EXPECTED TO BE FAR ENOUGH TO THE EAST THAT ANY SUBSEQUENT RAIN BANDS THAT DEVELOP WILL REMAIN TO THE EAST OF THE FORECAST AREA. THE MAIN EFFECT OF THE LOW WILL BE THE RELATIVELY DEEP MOISTURE THAT SHOULD PERSIST ACROSS THE AREA THROUGH AT LEAST FRIDAY...WITH SUFFICIENT INSTABILITY FOR DEEP CONVECTION. THE MAIN QUESTION WILL BE A TRIGGER MECHANISM. UPPER SUPPORT IS NOT ESPECIALLY FAVORABLE...BUT NEITHER IS IT UNFAVORABLE. THE MAIN SUPPORT SUGGESTED BY THE ETA WOULD BE LOW LEVEL CONVERGENCE...OF VARYING DEGREE...THROUGHOUT THE SHORT RANGE PERIOD. THIS SHOULD BE ENOUGH FOR SCATTERED MAINLY AFTERNOON AND EVENING SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS FOR THE NEXT TWO DAYS. TEMPERATURES SHOULD BE SUMMERLIKE AS WELL. LOOKING BRIEFLY AT THE EXTENDED...AVN MOVES SURFACE FRONT ACROSS THE AREA EARLY SATURDAY. EXPECT THIS IS TOO FAST GIVEN THE STALLING LOW OVER EASTERN NC OVER THE NEXT FEW DAYS. WILL CONTINUE WITH THE PREVIOUS IDEA OF FRONTAL PASSAGE LATER SATURDAY WITH A CHANCE OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS. WILL KEEP A DRY FORECAST THEREAFTER.
