AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE GREENVILLE-SPARTANBURG SC 1012 PM EDT SUN JUN 26 2005 .SHORT TERM (REST OF TONIGHT)... AFTER A BRIEF BREAK IN CONVECTION...SHRA ERUPTING FROM AVL SOUTH TO GSP/AND TO GRD. APPEARS TO HAVE A CONNECTION WITH TSRA COMPLEX THAT DISSIPATED JUST SOUTH OF OUR CWFA. 00Z RAOBS SHOW TROPICAL AIR MASS REMAINS ACROSS THE AREA. THIS COMBINED WITH WEAK WAVES...H85 TROF AND SLOWLY INCREASING UPSLOPE FLOW WILL KEEP SHRA AROUND ALL NITE. CURRENT FCST WITH HIGHER POP ALONG THE ESCARPMENT STILL LOOKS GOOD. HAVE RAISED LOWS A DEGREE OR TWO BASED ON CURRENT TEMPS...DEW POINTS AND CLOUDS. HAVE LOWERED WINDS A LITTLE AS WELL. && .PREVIOUS DISCUSSION... (ISSUED 237 PM EDT SUN JUN 26 2005) SHORT TERM (TONIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY)... CWFA TO REMAIN WITHIN TROPICAL ATLANTIC FETCH OF MOISTURE ALONG NE SIDE OF WELL DEFINED UPPER LOW SPINNING OFF TO OUR SW. LIFT FROM MODERATELY DEEP ESE FLOW AND VEERING WINDS WITH HEIGHT WILL CONTINUE TO PROMOTE NUMEROUS SHOWER DEVELOPMENT ALONG WITH A FEW TSTMS INTO THE EVENING HOURS. OVERNIGHT...LOWER AND MID LEVEL FLOW WILL WEAKEN AND TAKE ON MORE SOUTHERLY COMPONENT...AND GIVEN TIME OF DAY...WILL TAPER POPS BACK TO SCATTERED...BUT KEEP NUMEROUS CVRG GOING ALL NIGHT ALONG THE FAVORABLE TERRAIN OF THE MTNS/FTHLS. THE WESTERN CAROLINAS WILL REMAIN IN THE RICH LOW LEVEL MOISTURE ON MONDAY WITH LOW LEVEL FLOW GRADUALLY VEERING AROUND TO A MORE SOUTHWESTERLY DIRECTION. THE LATEST ETA SHOWS A TREND TOWARD WARMER AND WETTER MID LEVELS...WHICH CUTS DOWN ON CAPE AND THETA E LAPSE RATES. AGREE WITH LATEST DAY 2 OUTLOOK THAT SITUATION STILL BEARS WATCHING THOUGH. FAVOR THE GENERALLY WARMER MAV GUIDANCE FOR THE TEMPS...PARTICULARLY OVER THE MOUNTAINS AND FOOTHILLS. THERE SHOULD BE ENOUGH HOLES IN THE CLOUD COVER TO ALLOW TEMPS TO WARM EFFECTIVELY AND QUICKLY. AS LONG AS WEAK UPPER LOW REMAINS TO OUR WEST AND NORTH...AS IT DOES IN THE PERIOD FROM MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY...WE SHOULD REMAIN FAVORABLE TO DIURNAL CONVECTION. IN SPITE OF POOR CAPE SHOWN BY MODELS...THINK SCATTERED MAINLY AFTERNOON AND EVENING THUNDERSTORMS ARE A PRETTY GOOD BET AND WILL BE KEPT. LITTLE CHANGE NEEDS TO BE MADE TO TEMPS WHICH GENERALLY AGREE WITH GUIDANCE. LONG TERM (WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY)... MEDIUM RANGE MODELS REMAIN IN GENERAL AGREEMENT WITH LIFTING OUT REMAINING ENERGY FROM WEAK UPPER LOW ACROSS THE SRN APPALACHIANS WEDNESDAY NIGHT AND THURSDAY...WHICH SHOULD KEEP THE MAINLY DIURNAL THUNDERSTORM CHANCES GOING THROUGH THE MIDDLE PART OF THE WEEK. THE GFS SHOWS A STRONG UPPER TROF MOVING EASTWARD ACROSS CANADA LATE IN THE WEEK...WHICH SUPPRESSES THE UPPER ANTICYCLONE A BIT FARTHER S ACROSS THE FL PENINSULA AND NUDGES THE WESTERLIES EVER SO SLIGHTLY SOUTH. IF THIS WORKS OUT...IT WILL ALLOW A SURFACE BOUNDARY TO FALL DOWN ACROSS TN AND NC ON FRIDAY...AND STALL WEST TO EAST FOR THE WEEKEND. WEAK SHORT WAVES CAUGHT IN THE FAST MOVING NEARLY ZONAL FLOW COULD FORCE MCS DEVELOPMENT ALONG THE EAST TO WEST ORIENTED BOUNDARY EACH DAY. THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE KEPT IN THE CHANCE RANGE FOR ALL THREE DAYS...WITH LESS OF A TENDENCY FOR THE LATE NIGHT/EARLY MORNING LULL. AVIATION... 88D CVRG AT 18 UTC INDICATES SHOWER CVRG WIDESPREAD ENUF FOR TEMPO GROUPS AT ALL TERMINALS THIS AFTERNOON BUT WILL CONTINUE TO HINT AT TSTM CHANCES JUST AT KCLT WITH A VCTS MENTION FOR NOW. MVFR CIGS CONTINUE AT KGSP/KAND THIS AFTERNOON BUT WILL TREND TO VFR WITH SOME DEGREE OF MIXING...THE SAME SHOULD HOLD TRUE FOR KAVL...WHERE RECENT SHOWERS HAVE DROPPED THEM TO IFR. LATER THIS EVENING...WILL CONFINE TEMPO SHOWER THREAT TO KAVL/KHKY THANKS TO FAVORABLE TERRAIN ORIENTATION AND JUST VCSH EVERYWHERE ELSE. 12 UTC MOS GUIDANCE IN GOOD AGREEMENT IN CONTINUING TO ADVERTISE A PERIOD OF IFR CLDS AT ALL TERMINALS LATE TONIGHT LASTING UNTIL MID-MORNING MONDAY. && .GSP WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
