AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE GREENVILLE-SPARTANBURG SC 309 PM EDT WED JUN 8 2005 .SHORT TERM (TONIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY)... WEAK SHORT WAVE OBSERVED IN THE WATER VAPOR WILL CONTINUE TO DRIFT EASTWARD DURING THE REST OF THE AFTERNOON AND EVENING. THIS SHORT WAVE...HIGH TERRAIN...AND OUTFLOW BOUNDARIES SHOULD PLAY AS THE MAIN FOCUS FOR CONVECTION INITIATION THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING. CAPES ACROSS THE CWA RANGE FROM 1K OVER THE MTNS TO 2500 J/KG EAST WITH NORTHWARD STORM MOTIONS AROUND 5 KTS. WITH PW/S > 1.5 AND K-INDEX IN THE L30S COMBINED WITH THE SLOW PROPAGATION...EXPECT THAT EXCESSIVE RAINFALL WILL REMAIN THE MAIN THREAT. ISO MARGINAL HAIL EVENTS ARE ALSO POSSIBLE GIVEN THE AMOUNT OF MODERATE CAPE AVAILABLE. HOWEVER...ICE GROWTH REGIONS ARE HIGH AND WBZ IS > 13K FEET. WILL FORECAST HIGH CHC TO LOW LIKELY POPS FOR THE REST OF TODAY AND TONIGHT. FLOW FROM THE ATLANTIC HIGH WILL BRING SEA BREEZE MOISTURE ONCE AGAIN INLAND ACROSS MUCH OF MIDLANDS AND EASTERN PIEDMONT BY SUNRISE THU. ALSO...CONTINUED FLOW MAY SUPPORT CONVECTION A LITTLE LONGER TONIGHT AIDED BY UPSLOPE LIFT. WILL KEEP SCT POPS GOING UNTIL 10Z TONIGHT.

DEEP MOIST SLY FLOW AND DIFFERENTIAL HEATING WILL KEEP CHANCE OF DIURNAL CONVECTION...SLIGHTLY BETTER OVER THE MTNS...UNTIL THE FRONTAL SYSTEM APPROACHES. STILL HAVE CHC POP WED...BUT MORE OUTSIDE OF THE DIURNAL TIME FRAME WITH THE FRONT. OPERATIONAL MEX HIGHS HAVE COME BACK TOWARD ITS PREVIOUS NUMBERS...MORE IN LINE WITH GOING FCST.
