NWS Greenville-Spartanburg, SC wrote its last area forecast discussion before the first event at Jun 13, 2:40 PM EST, 2 hours 26 minutes earlier.
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.

THE ATMOSPHERE WILL BECOME QUITE UNSTABLE THIS AFTERNOON...DUE TO LINGERING TROPICAL MOISTURE...AS AN OLD AREA OF LOW PRESSURE MOVES AWAY TO THE EAST. A SMALL BUT STRONG UPPER LEVEL SYSTEM IS EXPECTED TO MOVE SOUTH ACROSS THE WESTERN CAROLINAS AND NORTHEAST GEORGIA THROUGH THIS EVENING...WHICH WILL AID THUNDERSTORM DEVELOPMENT. SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS ARE EXPECTED TO DEVELOP THIS AFTERNOON. SOME OF THE THUNDERSTORMS MAY GROW STRONG ENOUGH TO PRODUCE SMALL HAIL AND GUSTY WINDS...AND A FEW OF THE THUNDERSTORMS MAY PRODUCE DAMAGING WIND GUSTS. ANY THUNDERSTORMS THAT DEVELOP SHOULD PRODUCE HEAVY RAIN...PERHAPS ENOUGH TO PRODUCE SOME FLOODING PROBLEMS IF SEVERAL STORMS MOVE ACROSS THE SAME LOCATION. WIDESPREAD SEVERE WEATHER IS NOT EXPECTED. THE BEST CHANCE OF SEVERE WEATHER WILL BE OVER THE MOUNTAINS...WITH THE POSSIBILITY OF A SEVERE STORM OR TWO MOVING OUT OF THE MOUNTAINS INTO THE FOOTHILLS AND PIEDMONT IN THE LATE AFTERNOON OR EARLY EVENING. CONTINUING RAIN AND CLOUDS LATE THIS MORNING OVER PARTS OF THE PIEDMONT...FROM YORK AND UNION SOUTH CAROLINA...TO SOUTH OF CHARLOTTE...WILL REDUCE THE THREAT OF SEVERE WEATlHER IN THOSE LOCATIONS.
