AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE GREENVILLE-SPARTANBURG SC 1045 PM EDT TUE JUL 13 2004 .SHORT TERM (REMAINDER OF TONIGHT)... LIKE EVERYONE ELSE AROUND THESE PARTS...BEEN WATCHING MCS DIVING DOWN ACROSS KY INTO TN THIS EVENING...WITH MUCH INTEREST. BASED ON MOVEMENT OF EASTERN EDGE OF CONVECTION SEEN ON KMRX RADAR...AT LEAST A CHANCE POP IS NEEDED FOR THE NC MTNS. LEADING EDGE OF CONVECTION WOULD BE IN GRAHAM/SWAIN SHORTLY AFTER MIDNIGHT BASED ON EXTRAPOLATION. MAIN QUESTION IS WHETHER OR NOT EASTERN EDGE WILL HOLD TOGETHER AS IT CROSSES NE TN. GIVEN RESIDENT SFC BASED CAPE OF NEARLY 2000 J/KG ON 02Z LAPS ANALYSIS...MY FIRST GUESS WOULD BE YES...SO THE TIME TO START PREPARING FOR THIS CONVECTIVE LINE IS NOW. WILL START TO RATCHET UP WITH SPS. FORWARD MOVEMENT IS 45 TO 50 KTS...SO VERY STRONG WIND GUSTS ARE A DISTINCT POSSIBILITY OVER THE MOUNTAINS IN ABOUT 1.5 TO 2 HRS FROM NOW. WILL GO WITH JUST CHANCE POP NOW...BUT COULD BUMP MUCH HIGHER IN SHORT ORDER. TEMPS LOOK GOOD. && .PREV DISCUSSION... ISSUED AT 256 PM. SHORT TERM (THROUGH FRIDAY)... CU POPULATION EAST OF THE BEGINNING TO INCREASE AS TRIGGER TEMPS ARE BEING REACHED...RADAR SHOWING A CLUSTER OF SH/TS BEGINNING OVER THE I-40 CORRIDOR E OF THE MTNS ATTM. WILL EXPECT CONVECTION OVER THE HIGHER TERRAIN TO INCREASE AS WELL THIS AFTERNOON AND EARLY EVENING AS TEMPERATURES INCREASE. WILL CONTINUE TO ADVERTISE CHC POPS WILL GREATEST CHC GIVEN TO THE MTNS. WILL EXPECT DEEP CONVECTION TO BEGIN TO DIMINISH AFTER SUNSET AND WILL REDUCE POPS. AREAS ALONG THE WESTERN UPSLOPE MAY BE THE EXCEPTION AND WILL CONTINUE SCHC MENTION OVERNIGHT. H5 LOW WILL SWING OUT OF THE CANADIAN PLAINS TONIGHT AND WILL BECOME NEARLY STATIONARY OVER THE GREAT LAKES BY WED NIGHT. ASSOCIATED SFC FRONT WILL ADVANCE EAST AND IS EXPECTED TO REACH THE WESTERN SLOPES OF THE SOUTHERN APPALACHIANS BY 18Z WED. EVIDENCE IS POINTING TO SH/TS TO REMAIN AHEAD AND ALONG THE FRONTAL BOUNDARY AS IT MOVES INTO THE FA. IN FACT...THE GFS DEPICTS AN MCS DEVELOPING OVER THE OHIO RIVER VALLEY TONIGHT AND HOLDING TOGETHER AS THE COMPLEX ENCOUNTERS THE MTNS BETWEEN 15-18Z. ETA AND GFS SHOW THAT THE FRONT SHOULD BE EAST OF THE CWA BY 0Z THU. WITH THE FRONT SCHEDULED TO PASS THROUGH THE REGION DURING THE AFTERNOON...TEMPERATURES SHOULD CLIMB FREELY INTO THE LOW TO MID 90S EAST OF THE MTNS. DWPTS SHOULD ALSO REMAIN IN THE UPPER 60S WHICH WILL YIELD CAPES 2-3K J/KG. FORECAST SOUNDINGS ALSO SHOWING OTHER CONVECTIVE PARAMETERS BUILDING INTO THE FAVORABLE RANGE FOR SEVERE STORMS 0-3 KM 100M2/S2, TT 50, SWEAT >300, AND K-INDEX >30. SPC HIGHLIGHTS REGION IN THE DY2 SLIGHT RISK. IN ADDITION TO THE CONVECTION THREAT...GRADIENT WINDS WILL BE QUITE BREEZY IN THE MTNS WED WITH MIXING HEIGHT POSSIBLY REACHING AS HIGH AS H7. AFTER FROPA...FA WILL REMAIN UNDER DRY NW FLOW WITH SFC HIGH PRESSURE BUILDING IN FROM THE NW. WILL FORECAST DRY WEATHER FROM WED NIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY. WILL KEEP TEMPS NEAR MOS CONSENSUS. NED LONG TERM (FRIDAY NIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY)... MEAN UPPER TROUGH LOOKS TO BE FIRMLY IN PLACE ACRS THE EASTERN U.S. AT THE START OF THE EXTENDED PERIOD. TIMING OF SOME INITIAL S/WV ENERGY MOVING INTO BASE OF TROUGH LOOKS SLATED FOR SAT/SAT NITE. ATTENDANT SFC FRONT AND DEEP RH MAX ROTATES ACRS 18Z SAT-06Z SUN AS PER 12Z GFS. FOR NOW...WITH PROGGED WESTERLY LLVL FLOW...WILL LIMIT JUST SLT CHC POPS TO THE NC MTNS. COULD BE LOOKING AT A STRONGER PIECE OF ENERGY MOVING THROUGH SUNDAY AND WILL MOVE UP GOING TIMING OF CHC POPS ONE DAY BECAUSE OF THIS...WITH A NOW DRY MONDAY PERIOD WHICH SHOULD CONTINUE INTO TUESDAY. CSH && .GSP WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... GA...NONE. NC...NONE. SC...NONE. && MOORE
