AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE GREENVILLE-SPARTANBURG SC 259 PM EDT WED JUN 11 2003 LAPS ANALYSIS OF CAPE SHOWS A LARGE AREA OF 4000 J/KG OR GREATER CAPE OVER NE GA AND THE UPSTATE. STORMS ARE RATHER SLOW...WITH ISOLATED HEAVY RAIN A GIVEN. A FEW SEVERE STORMS STILL EXPECTED CONSIDERING THE AMOUNT OF ENERGY TO WORK WITH. UPSTREAM...MCS HAVE DEVELOPED OVER MS AN AL...THICKNESSES WOULD LEAD STORMS TO THE FA TONIGHT IF THEY HOLD TOGETHER. I BELIEVE THAT SOME ACTIVITY WILL CONTINUE AS MID-LEVEL LOW MOVES NORTHEAST AND THE RIDGE BREAKS DOWN WHILE THE ATMOSPHERE REMAINS UNSTABLE. WILL ADVERTISE HIGH CHC OVER THE MTNS AND SOLID CHC ELSEWHERE...MAY MAKE LAST SECOND DECISION. THURSDAY...LOW MOVES OVER NEW ENGLAND WITH FA STILL IN UNSTABLE TROPICAL AIR MASS. WITH THE RIDGE WEAKENING AND FA STILL IN THE PATH OF POTENTIAL MCS WILL INCREASE POPS TO HIGH CHC EVERYWHERE AND WILL DECREASE SOMEWHAT OVERNIGHT. VERY LITTLE CHANGE FOR FRIDAY AND WILL CONTINUE HIGH CHC POPS. EXTENDED MDLS IN FLUX WITH FCST POSITION OF SFC FNT STARTING OUT TO OUR NORTH. PREV CONSENSUS WAS FNT TO REMAIN TO OUR NORTH UNTIL VERY LATE IN THE PERIOD. NOW THERE ARE INDICATIONS THE FNT MAY SLIP DOWN AS EARLY AS SUN NITE. HOWEVER MDLS DO SHOW CONSENSUS WITH LOW LEVEL MOISTURE REMAINING HIGH WITH SOME CONVERGENCE H85. SO EVEN IF FNT MOVES SOUTH EXPECT PRECIP CHC TO CONTINUE. BUT GIVEN MDL UNCERTAINTY FNT COULD BE STALLED OVER US OR EVEN TO OUR NORTH. THEREFORE WILL CONTINUE POP THRU DAY 7 WITH TEMPS CLOSE TO GUIDANCE.
