AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE GREENVILLE-SPARTANBURG SC
559 AM EDT TUE AUG 30 2005
.SHORT TERM (REST OF TODAY)...
UPDATE FORTHCOMING TO HEADLINE TORNADO WATCH 758...RECENTLY ISSUED
FOR MUCH OF THE WESTERN HALF OF THE FORECAST AREA EXCLUDING THE
NORTHERN MOUNTAINS AND NORTHERN FOOTHILLS OF NORTH CAROLINA.
&&
.PREVIOUS DISCUSSION...
(ISSUED 313 AM EDT TUE AUG 30 2005)
SHORT TERM (TODAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY)...
CIRCULATION AROUND TROPICAL STORM KATRINA SHIFTING A BIT MORE
EASTWARD IN RECENT SATELLITE IMAGERY...SIMILAR TO PREVIOUS
OFFICIAL TRACK FOR THE REMNANT LOW AND MUCH MORE EASTWARD THAN
INDICATED BY EITHER OF OUR SHORT RANGE MODELS. CONVECTION IS
REALLY FILLING IN NOW IN BETTER SHEAR AND FORCING AXIS ON EASTERN
PERIPHERY OF THE TROPICAL SYSTEM PROPER. AS THIS DEEPER MOISTURE
GETS THROWN UP AGAINST OUR HIGHER TERRAIN ON STRENGTHENING
SOUTHERLY WINDS...WE STILL ANTICIPATE PERIODS OF HEAVY RAIN FOR
MOST OF THE HIGHER TERRAIN SOUTH INTO NORTHEAST GEORGIA. IT MAY
TAKE A FEW MORE HOURS BEFORE WE SEE SIGNIFICANT RAINFALL IN THE
EASTERN ZONES. WILL HIGHLIGHT CATEGORICAL POPS EARLY AND LIKELY TO
CHANCE EAST...AND HOLD ON TO THE FLOOD WATCH THROUGH TONIGHT. WE
WILL CHANGE THE MONIKER TO FLOOD WATCH SINCE MOST AREAS THAT HAVE
BEEN RECEIVING RAINFALL OVERNIGHT ARE THE SAME LOCATIONS THAT
RECEIVED RAIN SHOWERS MONDAY EVENING...AND THE RAIN LOOKS TO
CONTINUE THROUGH MUCH OF THE MORNING.
WITH THE FORWARD SPEED OF KATRINA INCREASING...CHANGES IN OUR
SENSIBLE WEATHER WILL LIKELY BE FASTER AND MORE VARIABLE THAN
PREVIOUSLY BELIEVED. THE EASTWARD SHIFT WILL MAKE IT LIKELY THAT
SOME HIGHER TERRAIN LOCATIONS WILL SEE SOME RATHER HIGH WIND
GUSTS. UPSTREAM...THE 88-D AT KBMX AND KHTX STILL SHOW 40 TO 50
KTS OF WIND JUST ABOVE THE SURFACE PROFILE OVER OUR REGION MUCH
LIGHTER AT PRESENT BUT WE DO ANTICIPATE AN INCRASE IN THE WIND.
AN UNUSUAL WIND PHENOMENON OVER NORTH ALABAMA HAS RESULTED IN
NUMEROUS TREES DOWN THERE EVEN WITH MUCH LIGHTER OBSERVED WINDS
FROM METAR SITES THAT HAVE MANAGED TO REMAIN ONLINE. THERE COULD
BE POCKETS WHERE THE HIGHER RADAR-INDICATED WINDS HAVE BEEN
BROUGHT DOWN TO THE SURFACE OR A GRAVITY WAVE IS POSSIBLE. IF
WIND SPEEDS NEED TO BE SIGNIFICANTLY INCREASED FOR THE WESTERN
CWFA THIS MORNING...THERE IS STILL TIME TO SEE WHAT HAPPENS
UPSTREAM AS WIND PROFILES STRENGTHEN THROUGH THE PREDAWN AND AS
THOSE STRENGTHENING PROFILES IMPACT NORTH GEORGIA. FOR NOW...WE
WILL HOIST A WIND ADVISORY FOR AREA LAKES FOR THE WESTERN HALF OF
THE CWFA...MENTIONING SOME WIND GUSTS TO 45 MPH OR SO AT HIGHER ELEVATIONS.
CWFA HAS BEEN EARMARKED FOR SEVERE WEATHER TODAY BY THE STORM
PREDICTION CENTER...SLIGHT RISK WEST FOR THE MOUNTAINS AND ALL OF
NORTHEAST GEORGIA AND THE FAR SOUTHERN UPSTATE...MODERATE RISK
INDICATED NOW FOR THE CENTRAL UPSTATE THROUGH THE FOOTHILLS AND
PIEDMONT OF NORTH CAROLINA. THIS DUE STRONGER 0-1 KM FLOW AND
BETTER POTENTIAL FOR ANY SURFACE HEATING TO ENHANCE SURFACE BASED
INSTABILITY ACROSS THE PIEDMONT AND IN THE LEE TROF EAST OF
APPALACHIANS. INTERESTING THAT FORECAST SOUNDINGS BRING
SIGNIFICANT INTRUSION OF DRY MID LEVEL AIR INTO THE WESTERN CWFA
DURING THE AFTERNOON AS EASTERN SOUNDINGS REMAIN QUITE MOIST. WE
ALSO LOSE A LOT OF OUR DIRECTIONAL SHEAR THIS
AFTERNOON..ESPECIALLY IN THE MOUNTAINS AS WIND SPEEDS OVERALL ARE
PROGD TO STRENGTHEN EVEN MORE WITH SURAFCE CIRCULATION AROUND
KATRINA MAKING ITS CLOSEST APPROACH AND UPPER TROF APPROACHING
WITH POTENTIAL DIFFERENTIAL POSITIVE VORTICITY ADVECTION LATE.
WITH MODERATE RISK IN PLACE FOR THE AFTERNOON...WE WILL INCLUDE
THE SEVERE WORDING IN THE ZONE TEXT.
IT MIGHT BE PRUDENT HERE TO MENTION THAT A TORNADO WATCH DOES
REMAIN IN EFFECT FOR THE EXTREME WESTERN CWFA UNTIL 6 AM. AS
SIGNIFICANT ECHOES UPSTREAM APPROACH THE REGION...WE MAY SEE
ADDITIONAL WATCHES POSTED TO THE NORTH AND EAST.
PLAN TO TONE DOWN POPS THIS EVENING AND OVERNIGHT FOR THE CWFA BUT
MAINTAIN DECENT CHANCES IN THE HIGHER TERRAIN WHERE RESIDUAL
MOISTURE MAY GET TRAPPED AND CLOSER TO BETTER FORCING WITH
APPROACH OF NOT ONLY THE UPPER LOW REPRESENTING THE MID LEVEL PART
OF KATRINA BUT ALSO THE OVERALL APPROACH OF THE TROF IN WHICH THE
SYSTEM IS ENVELOPED. LOW LEVEL WINDS ARE PROGD TO SWING AROUND TO
A SOUTHWEST DIRECTION THIS EVENING AND TO WESTERLY...DOWNSLOPE
DIRECTION...BY MORNING. MODELS BRING A DRY SLOT INTO THE AREA ALSO
WITH THE FEATURE...AND SATELLITE IMAGERY APPEARS TO SUPPORT THAT
IDEA FROM THE SOUTH AND WEST. MODELS SUGGEST A RAPID DRYING OUT
AND A BOUNDARY CROSSING THE REGION DURING WEDNESDAY. WE WILL KEEP
CHANCES GOING THROUGH TONIGHT WITH A MOSTLY DRY WEDNESDAY
PROGD...EXCEPT FOR SCATTERED MOUNTAIN SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS.
HAVE NOT WORKED ON TEMPERATURES YET BUT EXPECT BELOW NORMAL WEST
TODAY...WARMER EAST WHERE INSTABILITY WILL BE GREATER.
LONG TERM (WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH MONDAY)...
ADJUSTED WIND SPEEDS AND POPS SLIGHTLY FOR WEDNESDAY NIGHT.
OTHERWISE...NO CHANGES WITH THIS PACKAGE.
AVIATION...
MVFR CEILINGS HAVE BEEN DEVELOPING EASTWARD ACROSS THE WESTERN
CAROLINAS DURING THE EARLY MORNING HOURS AND EXPECT THAT TREND TO
CONTINUE...WITH KCLT DEVELOPING A LOW CLOUD CEILING BEFORE SUNRISE.
ONCE IN THE MVFR...EXPECT THIS TO CONTINUE AS A PREVAILING CONDITION
THROUGH AT LEAST THE DAYLIGHT HOURS. MODELS SHOW A LARGE SWATH OF
PRECIPITATION ACROSS ALL TAF SITES THROUGH AT LEAST 00Z. HOWEVER...
EXPECT PRECIP TO BE OFF AN ON AND SHOWERY...WITH STRETCHES OF GOOD
VISIBILITY IN TROPICAL AIR. THE TEMPO GROUP IS TAILOR MADE FOR THIS
SCENARIO SO I WILL TAKE ADVANTAGE OF IT...AND MOVE THE PRECIP
FORECAST TO TEMPO CONDITIONS AT MOST TAF SITES. EXPECT BULK OF
PRECIP TO MOVE NORTH AND FADE WITH SUNSET...SO HAVE OPTED FOR A VCSH
AFTER 00Z WITH A LOW CLOUD CEILING HANGING ON. LOOKING AHEAD...
GUIDANCE SHOWS CEILINGS DROPPING INTO IFR RANGE IN SOME CASES TOWARD
12Z WEDNESDAY...SO THIS WILL BE CONSIDERED IN THE NEXT ISSUANCE.

WAYNESVILLE 515 AM EDT TUE AUG 30 2005 ...SEVERE WEATHER OUTLOOK... TROPICAL STORM KATRINA IS EXPECTED TO MOVE NORTH AND NORTHEAST THROUGH THE TENNESSEE VALLEY TODAY...AND WILL CONTINUE TO WEAKEN TO A DEPRESSION LATER IN THE DAY. AS IS USUALLY THE CASE WHEN THE REMNANT OF A TROPICAL SYSTEM PASSES TO THE WEST ACROSS TENNESSEE... A HUMID AND UNSTABLE TROPICAL AIR MASS WILL MOVE ACROSS THE WESTERN CAROLINAS AND NORTHEAST GEORGIA...WITH STRONG WIND SHEAR IN THE LOWEST PART OF THE ATMOSPHERE. THE INGREDIENTS WILL BE IN PLACE FOR THUNDERSTORMS TO DEVELOP THROUGHOUT THE DAY. SOME OF THE THUNDERSTORMS COULD PRODUCE SEVERE WEATHER IN THE FORM OF DAMAGING WIND GUSTS AND A FEW TORNADOES. DURING THE MORNING HOURS...THE GREATEST POTENTIAL FOR SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS WILL PERSIST ACROSS EXTREME NORTHEAST GEORGIA...THE WESTERN PART OF THE UPSTATE...AND THE MOUNTAINS OF NORTH CAROLINA. DURING THE AFTERNOON AND EARLY EVENING...THE BEST COMBINATION OF WIND SHEAR AND INSTABILITY MAY DEVELOP ACROSS THE UPSTATE AND EASTERN PIEDMONT OF SOUTH CAROLINA AND INTO THE FOOTHILLS AND PIEDMONT OF NORTH CAROLINA...WHERE THERE IS A MODERATE RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS. THE SEVERE WEATHER POTENTIAL SHOULD DIMINISH LATE THIS EVENING. RESIDENTS ACROSS THE WESTERN PART OF THE CAROLINAS AND EXTREME NORTHEAST GEORGIA SHOULD EXPECT LATER STATEMENTS AND SEVERE WEATHER WATCHES FROM THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE. THUNDERSTORMS THAT DEVELOP IN THE CIRCULATION AROUND THE REMNANTS OF A HURRICANE SOMETIMES PRODUCE TORNADOES VERY QUICKLY.
