AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE GREENVILLE-SPARTANBURG SC
327 PM EDT SUN JUL 3 2005
.SHORT TERM (TONIGHT)...
CONVERGENCE ON THE PERIPHERY OF THE COLD AIR DAMMING IS RESULTING IN
A RING OF CONVECTION FROM THE MIDLANDS TO NORTHERN GA THEN NORTH
INTO ERN TN. DEEPER INTO THE CAD THERE HAS ALSO BEEN QUITE A BIT OF
CONVECTION...PARTICULARLY ALONG THE LEE SLOPES AND ACROSS A SOMEWHAT
WEAKER TMB ACROSS THE SRN UPSTATE AND NE GA. HOWEVER...THE ACTIVITY
HAS DECREASED IN INTENSITY AND AREAL COVERAGE THE PAST HOUR OR TWO.
PLAN TO CONTINUE THE FLASH FLOOD WATCH UNTIL MIDNIGHT. WITH THE
SHORT WAVE YET TO CROSS THE MTNS AND LOW 70 DWPTS AND UPSLOPE
FLOW...THERE IS PLENTY OF TIME FOR ADDITIONAL CONVECTIVE DEVELOPMENT
JUST ABOUT ANYWHERE ACROSS THE CWFA. LAPS SOUNDINGS CONTINUE TO SHOW
PWATS OVER 2 INCHES...AND 0-6KM BULK SHEAR IS ON THE ORDER OF 30 TO
35 KTS. THERE HAS BEEN CLEARING AND TEMPERATURE RECOVERY ACROSS THE
SRN AND SW MTNS AS WELL...AND EXPECT THAT SOME OF THE STRONGER NEW
STORMS MAY FIRE OUT THAT WAY. WL CUT POPS BACK TO CHANCE AFTER
MIDNIGHT...BUT WITH LINGERING UPSLOPE FLOW...WL NOT REMOVE THEM
COMPLETELY.
&&
.LONG TERM (MONDAY THROUGH SUNDAY)...
MID/UPPER HEIGHTS PROGGED TO RISE ON MONDAY...AS UPPER RIDGE BUILDS
NORTHWARD FROM THE FLORIDA COAST. ASSOCIATED WARMING MID LEVEL TEMPS
AND MID/UPPER DRYING SHOULD REDUCE COVERAGE OF CONVECTION ACROSS THE
CWFA ON MONDAY...ALTHOUGH WILL HAVE TO WATCH FOR CONVECTION BECMG
SOMEWHAT ORGANIZED ALONG ANY COLD POOLS (BUT SHEAR APPEARS TO BE TOO
WEAK FOR THAT ATTM.) IN ADDITION...WEAK CAP INDICATED ON NAM
FORECAST SOUNDINGS INDICATES CONVECTION MAY NOT REALLY GET GOING
UNTIL LATE AFTERNOON. WILL RETAIN PREVIOUS FORECAST OF 40 POP MNTNS
AND 30 POP EAST. THE BETTER CHANCE FOR CONVECTION MAY ACTUALLY BE
TOMORROW EVENING...AS NAM DEPICTS SW TROUGH RIDING OVER THE UPPER
RIDGE BY LATE IN THE DAY. THIS RESULTS IN A SLIGHT INCREASE IN SHEAR
AND COOLING AT CAP LEVEL...SO WILL RETAIN CHANCE POPS THROUGH THE
OVERNIGHT.
FOR TUESDAY...FLOW BEGINS TO FLATTEN IN RESPONSE TO A FAIRLY
SIGNIFICANT TROUGH DIGGING INTO THE MISS VALLEY...WITH ATM LESS
CAPPED AND MORE SHEARED...ALTHOUGH INSTABILITY IS LESS IMPRESSIVE.
WILL FEATURE POPS SIMILAR TO THAT OF MONDAY. ONCE AGAIN...WILL
EXTEND POPS THROUGH THE OVERNIGHT HOURS INTO WED...AS SW TROUGH AND
SURFACE FRONT MOVE ACROSS THE AREA.
TYPICAL UNCERTAINTY EXISTS IN THE EXTENDED...AS MUCH WILL DEPEND ON
FUTURE EVOLUTION OF THE FRONTAL BOUNDARY. IF THE GFS VERIFIES...WE
MAY EXPERIENCE A RARE RESPITE FROM JULY CONVECTION LATE THIS
WEEK...AS THE GFS DEPICTS UNSEASONABLY DRY AIR FILTERING INTO THE
AREA. FOR NOW...WILL FEATURE POPS AROUND CLIMO...GENERALLY 20 TO 30%
ACROSS THE ENTIRE AREA.
&&
.AVIATION...
LIGHT TO MODERATE RAIN AND A FEW EMBEDDED THUNDERSTORMS WILL KEEP
CIGS AND VSBYS LOW FOR A WHILE ACROSS THE UPSTATE. WL ALSO TEMP IN
SOME LOWER CIGS AND VSBYS AT KHKY AND KAVL WHERE UPSLOPE SHOULD HELP
REDEVELOP CONVECTION IN THESE AREAS THE NEXT FEW HRS. WL IMPROVE
CONDITIONS FOR A WHILE LATE THIS AFTN AND EVENING...BUT WL KEEP LGT
PREVAILING SHRA IN AS UPSLOPE SHOULD KEEP QUITE A BIT OF SHRA
ACTIVITY IN THE AREA. WL TAKE CIGS AND VSBYS DOWN TO LOW END MVFR
LATER TNGT...EXCEPT AT KAVL AND KAND WHERE I WENT IFR. WITH HIGH
DEWPOINTS...WIDESPREAD RAIN AND HIGH DEWPOINTS WE SHOULD SEE
WIDESPREAD LOW CLOUDS AND FOG.
