AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE GREENVILLE-SPARTANBURG SC 316 PM EDT SAT JUN 19 2004 .SHORT TERM (TONIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY)... INSTABILITY NOT QUITE AS HIGH ACROSS THE AREA AS THE PAST FEW DAYS DUE TO DEW POINTS MIXING OUT A LITTLE. CONVECTION ALONG SFC FNT ABOUT READY TO MOVE INTO THE NRN PART OF THE CWFA...WITH ISOLATED CONVECTION ELSEWHERE. AS THE FNT COMES THRU AT TIME OF MAXIMUM HEATING EXPECT SCT CONVECTION TO DEVELOP. HOWEVER BEST CHC WILL BE ACROSS THE NRN TIER. CANNOT RULE OUT ISOLATED SVR TSRA...BUT CHANCES ARE LOW. EXPECT CONVECTION TO END BY OR BEFORE MIDNIGHT. DRIER...COOLER HIGH PRESSURE STILL ON TRACK TO BUILD IN SUNDAY THEN MOVE EAST BY MONDAY. ETA APPEARS TO BE THE ODD MDL OUT DEVELOPING PRECIP ACROSS THE AREA AS EARLY AS LATE SUNDAY WITH VERY STRONG RETURN MOISTURE.

PERIODIC LOBES OF VORTICITY WILL ROUND THE UPPER LOW LATE NEXT WEEK...AMPLIFYING THE FLOW ACROSS THE EASTERN U.S. SUFFICIENTLY TO SEND A SERIES OF FRONTAL BOUNDARIES TOWARD THE SOUTHEAST STATES. AT THIS POINT... TIMING OF INDIVIDUAL SPOKES OF VORTICITY/SOUTHWARD SURGES OF SURFACE BOUNDARIES IS VERY DIFFICULT...AND THE BEST COURSE OF ACTION APPEARS TO BE CONTINUING CHANCE POPS THROUGH THE EXTENDED. FOR NOW...WILL FAVOR A DIURNAL POP TREND FOR THESE PERIODS.
