UPDATE WILL BE ISSUED SHORTLY TO COVER TORNADO WATCH 901 UNTIL 22Z. NORTHERN SECTION OF THE SQUALL LINE SHOULD MOVE INTO NE GA AND THE UPSTATE BY 1130AM. CAPES OVER NE GA AND THE UPSTATE REMAIN RATHER WEAK WITH LAPS ESTIMATING VALUES OF 50-150 J/KG. HOWEVER...WIND FIELDS ARE BECOMING MORE FAVORABLE AS HELICITY VALUES HAVE GRADUALLY IMPROVED THIS MORNING...LATEST VAD WIND PROFILE HELICITIES ARE AROUND 100 M2/S2 0-3 KM. WILL EXPECT CONDITIONS TO DESTABILIZE THIS AFTERNOON OVER THE UPSTATE AS RICHER DWPTS AND TEMPS DEVELOP...CAPES MAY REACH 500 J/KG. WILL EXPECT THE SEVERE THREAT TO REMAIN IN THE CURRENT WATCH ARE TODAY...POSSIBLY EXPANDING INTO THE NC PIEDMONT THIS AFTERNOON. TEMPS OFF TO A SLOW START AND WILL UPDATE TEMPS CLOSER TO FLP GUIDANCE. WILL UPDATE MAINLY TO CLEAN UP WORDING AND SUPPORT THE WATCH. && .PREVIOUS DISCUSSION... THE FOLLOWING WAS ORIGINALLY ISSUED AT 635 AM EST WED NOV 24 2004 SHORT TERM (REST OF TODAY)... BAND OF WAA RNFL HAS REALLY OVERTURNED THE LOWER LAYERS ACRS THE NC FTHLS/PIEDMONT WITH JUST ABOUT EVERY 11Z MTR WELL ABOVE 1/4SM... MOSTLY IN THE 2-3SM RANGE...SO WILL CANCEL DENSE FOG ADVISORY. ALSO HAVE REFINED HEAVY CONVECTIVE RAIN THREAT IN GRIDS TODAY... WITH HEAVY PCPN AXIS ACRS THE SW NC/NE GA MTNS EARLY THIS MORNING SHIFTING GRADUALLY SE INTO THE UPSTATE/GA PIEDMONT AS THE MORNING WEARS ON AND INTO THE AFTERNOON. THE FOLLOWING WAS ORIGINALLY ISSUED AT 245 AM EST WED NOV 24 2004 SHORT TERM (TODAY THROUGH THURSDAY)... SFC BNDRY TOOK A DIP TO THE SOUTHWEST YESTERDAY EVENING WITH WEAK IN-SITU WEDGE IN PLACE...MAINLY THE RESULT OF FALLING PRESSURES TO THE SW OF THE FRONT. AS OF 07Z...FRONT LOOKS TO BE BETWEEN GSP-AND AND SHOULD GRADUALLY LIFT NORTH LATER THIS MORNING. INCREASE IN WAA FLOW ABOVE THIS SFC FRONT HAS RESULTED IN AREAS OF DENSE FOG. EVEN THOUGH DENSE FOG EXTENDS LOCALLY TO AROUND GSP METRO...WILL LEAVE ADVISORY FOR NC FTHLS/PIEDMONT AS IS FOR NOW. THROUGHOUT THE MORNING...MAIN SOURCE OF LIFT WILL BE FROM AFOREMENTIONED WAA...SO WOULD EXPECT A CONTINUED INCREASE IN WAA SHOWER CVRG. SLUG OF DEEP OMEGA AND MOISTURE STILL PROGGED TO DRAMATICALLY INCREASE ACRS THE CWFA THIS AFTERNOON ALL WITHIN BROAD DIFFLUENT FLOW ESE OF STRONG 130+ KT UPPER JET AXIS. ETA MODEL TIMEHEIGHTS INDICATE STRONG ADVECTION OF MID-LVL LOW-THETA-E AIR INTO THE CWFA THIS AFTERNOON... INDICATIVE OF COLD FRONT ALOFT. SO WHAT WE ARE LOOKING AT IS THE LIKELIHOOD OF A STRONGLY FORCED SQUALL LINE EVOLVING EASTWARD WITHIN A STRONGLY SHEARED WIND FIELD. 60+ DEG F SFC DWPTS SHOULD SURGE NORTH ACRS THE PIEDMONT BY THIS AFTERNOON AND EVEN THOUGH THIS WOULD EQUATE TO BEST INSTABILITY DEVELOPING ACRS THE SOUTHEASTERN 1/2 OF THE CWFA...STRONG GRADIENT WINDS AND HEAVY RAIN THREAT COULD TOPPLE SOME TREES IN THE MTNS. AXIS OF HIGH PWATS AND SFC MOISTURE CONVERGENCE DOES BEND NNE TOWARD THE CWFA TODAY...AND EVEN THOUGH PROBABILITY OF HVY RAIN SEEMS HIGH...OUTSIDE OF THE EXTREME SW...ANTECEDENT CONDS NOT TERRIBLY THREATENING AT THIS POINT TO CONCLUSIVE SAY A FFA WOULD BE NEEDED. FOR TONIGHT AND THANKSGIVING DAY...WILL TAPER POPS FROM CATEGORICAL TO CHC WEST TO EAST DURING THE EVENING HOURS AS SFC COLD FRONT SWEEPS ACRS. LEAVING LOW CHC POPS IN THE TENNESSEE BORDER COUNTIES WITH A PERIOD OF DEEPER RH THROUGH THURSDAY MORNING. GENERALLY FOLLOWED MAGNITUDE OF GFS WITH RESPECT TO CAA AND PARTIAL THICKNESS VALUES TUMBLING TO CRITICAL VALUES THURSDAY MORNING. NW FLOW MOISTURE TO BECOME INCREASINGLY SHALLOW BY AFTERNOON ALLOWING POPS TO FALL TO NEAR ZERO BY SUNSET. LONG TERM (THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY)... INHERITED DRY FCST CWFA WIDE THURSDAY NIGHT STILL ON TRACK AS MIXING RAPIDLY DIMINISHES BY 12Z FRIDAY WITH SFC RIDGE AXIS BUILDING IN. NO CHANGES MADE PAST FRIDAY MORNING. AVIATION... IN SITU WEDGE HAS RESULTED IN SOLID LIFR CIGS AND VSBYS BASICALLY ALONG AND N OF I85 THIS MORNING. CONDITIONS ARE A LITTLE MORE VARIABLE SOUTH OF THE BNDRY. RIGHT NOW KAND IS 6SM W/A 200 FOOT CIG FOR EXAMPLE WHILE KGSP IS 1/4SM. WL PLAY CONDITIONS TO SLOWLY IMPROVE AS THE WARM FRONT MOVES THROUGH...THOUGH MOIST LLVLS AND WEAK UPGLIDE THROUGH THE DAY WL LIKELY KEEP AT LEAST MVFR CIGS IN PLACE. FAIRLY STRONG SIGN ON THE ETA THAT COLD FRONT ALOFT WILL SWEEP ACROSS THE CWFA BETWEEN 1800 AND 0000 UTC. CONSIDERING THE STRONG FORCING...WL GO WITH A TEMPO GROUP FOR TSRA ALL TAF SITES FOR THE AFTN AND EARLY EVENING HOURS. CONDITIONS WL IMPROVE BEHIND THE CONVECTION...BUT WIND SHIFT W/SFC COLD FRONT WL LIKELY NOT AFFECT TAF SITES UNTIL AFTER 0600 UTC THU...SAVE FOR KAVL. && && .GSP WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
