NWS Greenville-Spartanburg, SC wrote its last area forecast discussion before the first event at Jun 25, 8:50 PM EST, 40 minutes earlier.
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION...UPDATED NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE GREENVILLE-SPARTANBURG SC 950 PM EDT FRI JUN 25 2004 .SHORT TERM... PRIMARY CONCERN FOR THE UPDATE IS ONGOING FLOOD WATCH AND ADDITIONAL HEAVY RAIN THREAT. KGSP 88D LOOPS INDICATE BACK EDGE OF CATEGORICAL SHOWER AND THUNDERSTORM CVRG ACRS EXTREME NORTHEAST GEORGIA AND EXTRAPOLATION BRINGS IT ALONG A GSP-AVL LINE AROUND MIDNIGHT. SO IT WOULD SEEM THAT CHANCES FOR ANY NEW FLOODING AFTER MIDNIGHT WOULD BE LIMITED FOR NE GA AND THE NW UPSTATE. ACRS THE NC PART OF THE FFA...RAINFALL TODAY DOES NOT LOOK LIKE IT HAS BEEN HEAVY ENOUGH FOR CURRENT PCPN TO CAUSE FLOODING. SO...WILL PLAN ON LETTING FFA EXPIRE ON SCHEDULE. ON THE LARGE SCALE...DEEP OMEGA AND UPPER DIVERGENCE IS PROGGED TO CONTINUE TO WEAKEN THROUGH 06Z AND INTO THE OVERNIGHT...SO DESPITE PWATS NEAR 2.00 INCHES ON 00Z SOUNDING AND FAVORABLE UPPER JET POSITIONING...IT IS INCONCLUSIVE WHETHER FLOODING WILL DEVELOP WHERE RAINFALL HAS BEEN HEAVIEST TODAY...ALONG AND JUST NORTH OF I-85...AS PER KGSP STP. SO...WILL ISSUE CAUTIONARY FLOOD STATEMENT FOR THIS AREA...ROUGHLY GSP-CLT CORRIDOR...THAT SOME HEAVY RAIN COULD AGGRAVATE HIGH WATER CONDITIONS OVER THE NEXT 4 HOURS. && .PREV DISCUSSION... ISSUED 320 PM EDT FRI JUN 25 2004 STRONG CONVECTION CONTINUES TO FIRE ALONG DIFFERENTIAL HEATING BOUNDARY/CONVERGENT AXIS ALONG THE I-85 CORRIDOR. THE ATMOSPHERE HAS BECOME QUITE UNSTABLE SOUTH OF THIS BOUNDARY...WHERE CAPES NOW EXCEED 2500 J/KG. MEANWHILE...FORECAST SOUNDINGS NORTH OF THE BOUNDARY INDICATE 0-3 KM HELICITY IN EXCESS OF 100 M2/S2. THIS HAS RESULTED IN MODERATE ROTATION IN STORMS WITH THE STRONGEST UPDRAFTS. ONE OF THE INITIAL STORMS THAT DEVELOPED THIS AFTERNOON...WHICH WAS ONE OF THE WEAKER ROTATING STORMS OF THE DAY...MAY HAVE PRODUCED A WEAK TORNADO IN SOUTHERN ANDERSON COUNTY...SO ANY STORMS EXHIBITING MODERATE ROTATION WILL CONTINUE TO PEAK OUR INTEREST THIS EVENING. OTHERWISE...SURFACE FRONT IS PUSHING INTO EAST TENN AT THIS TIME... WITH WEAK SURFACE WAVE NOTED ALONG THE NORTHERN BORDER OF AL AND GA. THE HEAVIEST WARM CONVEYOR BELT PRECIP CONTINUES TO AFFECT MAINLY EAST TENN...AND THIS IS ACTUALLY BEGINNING TO SHIFT SLIGHTLY TO THE NORTH...AS COVERAGE HAS BEGUN TO DECLINE OVER SOUTHEAST TENNESSEE. THE MAIN AXIS OF HEAVY RAINFALL WILL CONTINUE TO DRIFT SLOWLY NORTH WITH THE FRONTAL WAVE THIS EVENING. MEANWHILE...SCATTERED TO NUMEROUS SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL CONTINUE TO DEVELOP IN THE UNSTABLE AIR ACROSS THE PIEDMONT AND FOOTHILLS. WE WILL CONTINUE TO CARRY CATEGORICAL POPS ACROSS ALL BUT THE SOUTHERN TIER OF COUNTIES...WHERE HIGH LIKELIES SHOULD SUFFICE. AS FAR AS THE FLOOD WATCH...ALTHOUGH THE WATCH AREA MAY BE BETWEEN MAXIMA IN RAINFALL... WITH HEAVIER CONVEYOR BELT PRECIP TO OUR WEST...AND CONVECTIVE RAINFALL EAST OF THE BLUE RIDGE...RAIN RATES MAY ACTUALLY INCREASE IN THE WATCH AREA AS THE WEAKENING SURFACE WAVE RIDES UP THE WESTERN SLOPES. CONSIDERING THE LOW FFG VALUES...WILL LEAVE THE WATCH IN PLACE THROUGH MIDNIGHT. THE FRONT WILL MOVE SLOWLY INTO THE AREA TONIGHT...AND WILL RETAIN CHANCE POPS THROUGH THE OVERNIGHT. TOMORROW...THE FRONT IS EXPECTED TO HANG UP JUST SOUTH OF THE AREA...AND WILL CARRY CHANCE POPS ACROSS THE SOUTHERN HALF OF THE CWFA...WITH SILENT 20S NORTH. THE FRONT IS EXPECTED TO REMAIN NEAR OR JUST SOUTH OF THE AREA THROUGH EARLY NEXT WEEK...POSSIBLY OSCILLATING NORTH AND SOUTH FROM TIME TO TIME...SO WILL MAINTAIN CHANCE POPS THROUGH EARLY NEXT WEEK...WITH HIGHEST POPS ACROSS THE SOUTHERN CWFA. LANE WED-FRI...ACTIVE AND MOIST WEATHER PATTERN LOOKS TO CONTINUE THROUGH LATE NEXT WEEK. STUBBORN AND STRONG WESTERN BLOCKING RIDGE SHOULD REMAIN THROUGH THE PERIOD AND ALLOW AN UNSEASONABLY COOL HUDSON LOW TO REINFORCE ITSELF. BASED ON LATEST GFS...BERMUDA HIGH IS EXPECTED TO REMAIN IN ITS USUAL POSITION...ALBEIT WEAKER THAN NORMAL. THIS SHOULD PERMIT A COUPLE COLD FRONTS TO PUSH INTO THE REGION AND BECOME STATIONARY SOMEWHERE ACROSS THE CAROLINAS. SO...WITH A SUMMERTIME MOISTURE FEED CONTINUING ACROSS THE SOUTHEAST AND LOW LEVEL FORCING REMAINING HIGH...WILL FORECAST POPS EACH DAY. KEPT MAX TEMPS AT OR A LITTLE BELOW CLIMO...BASED ON CONTINUOUS CLOUD COVER AND SLIGHT AIR MASS MIXING EXPECTED. SBK NUMEROUS SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS DEVELOPING ACROSS THE PIEDMONT AND FOOTHILLS WILL REQUIRE COMBINATION OF TEMPO GROUPS FOR TSRA AND VCTS TO HANDLE TIMING OF MORE SIGNIFICANT WEATHER. LOW CLOUD CEILINGS SHOULD BE VFR EXCEPT IN THUNDERSTORMS. CONVECTIVE ACTIVITY MAY NOT DIMINISH UNTIL MIDNIGHT OR THEREABOUTS...AFTER WHICH MVFR VISIBILITY AND CEILING SHOULD DEVELOP WITH ABUNDANT MOISTURE IN PLACE ALONG AND TO THE SOUTH OF NEARLY STATIONARY FRONT...WHICH SHOULD MOVE SOUTH OVERNIGHT ACROSS THE REGION. VISIBILITY SHOULD IMPROVE IN THE 12Z-15Z TIME FRAME AS WINDS COME AROUND TO N OR NE DIRECTION BEHIND FRONT...BUT WILL RETAIN MVFR CEILING THROUGH THE REMAINDER OF THE TAF PERIOD OWING TO EXTENSIVE CLOUDINESS SEEN NEAR BOUNDARY. MOORE && .GSP WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... GA...NONE. NC...NONE. SC...NONE. && CSH
