AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE GREENVILLE-SPARTANBURG SC 215 PM EDT SAT JUL 1 2006 .SHORT TERM /TONIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY/... WEAK UPPER LEVEL RIDGING OVER THE SOUTHEAST WILL RESULT IN ZONAL FLOW OVER THE OHIO RIVER VALLEY...AND SOME WARMING ALOFT. MOISTURE WILL INCREASE AT THE LOWER LEVELS AS THE DRIER AIR IN THE SURFACE RIDGE MOVES OFF THE EAST COAST. WITH A WEAK WARM NOSE IN THE DEVELOPING IN THE SOUNDINGS...NOT MUCH OF AN INCREASE IN AFTERNOON POPS IS EXPECTED...AND SLIGHT CHANCE POPS WILL BE CARRIED IN THE NC MOUNTAINS AGAIN ON SUNDAY. TEMPERATURES WILL BE WARMER THAN NORMAL UNDER INCREASING HEIGHTS...WHILE RISING DEW POINTS REACH VALUES JUST A FEW DEGREES BELOW NORMAL. AFTER LIGHT AND VARIABLE WINDS TONIGHT...A LIGHT WEST WIND IS EXPECTED ON THE BACK SIDE OF THE SURFACE RIDGE SUNDAY...WITH LITTLE GUST POTENTIAL AS WINDS ALOFT REMAIN RATHER LIGHT IN THE MIXED LAYER. UPPER RIDGE REMAINS IN PLACE ACROSS THE AREA MONDAY. MID-LEVEL TEMPS WARM AS WELL. DEW POINTS SHOULD ALSO MIX OUT A LITTLE...EFFECTIVELY CAPPING THE ATMOSPHERE. THE EXCEPTION WILL BE OVER THE MOUNTAINS WHERE DIFFERENTIAL HEATING AND ELEVATION MAY BE ABLE TO OVERCOME THE CAP...BUT ONLY SLIGHT CHC FOR NOW. ATMOSPHERE WILL BE A LITTLE MORE CONDUCIVE FOR CONVECTION TUESDAY. HEIGHTS LOWER AS TROF BUILDS IN THE EAST. MID-LEVEL TEMPS COOL AND LOW LEVEL CONVERGENCE INCREASES. STILL BEST INSTABILITY WILL BE OVER THE MOUNTAINS...SO CHC POP THERE AND SLIGHT CHC ELSEWHERE. LOWS NEAR NORMAL MONDAY AND TUESDAY. HIGHS WELL ABOVE NORMAL BUT ON THE COOLER SIDE OF GUIDANCE MONDAY...THEN JUST A LITTLE ABOVE NORMAL TUESDAY. && .LONG TERM /TUESDAY NIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY/... MODEL TRENDS STILL QUITE CONSISTENT WITH EACH OTHER AND GOING FORECAST THINKING. SURFACE FRONT TO OUR NORTH WEDNESDAY MOVES INTO THE AREA THURSDAY AND OUT LATE FRIDAY BEFORE DISSIPATING ON SATURDAY. SHOULD BE PLENTY OF MOISTURE AND UPPER SUPPORT FOR SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS AS THE FRONT MOVES THROUGH. THE REAL QUESTION REMAINS WHEN WILL THE BEST CHANCE BE AS TIMING IS SLIGHTLY DIFFERENT FROM MODEL TO MODEL AND RUN TO RUN. THEREFORE POP REMAINS IN THE CHANCE RANGE...WITH HIGHEST POP NORTH EARLY IN THE PERIOD...THEN SOUTH LATER. MAINLY SLIGHT CHC FRIDAY AFTERNOON AND DRY FROM FRIDAY NIGHT ON. BELOW NORMAL HIGHS THU AND FRIDAY...WITH NEAR NORMAL ON EITHER SIDE. LOWS NEAR NORMAL EARLY...THEN BELOW NORMAL ESPECIALLY OVER THE NORTH LATER WITH FROPA. && .AVIATION... EXPECT ONLY ISOLATED CONVECTION THIS AFTERNOON IN THE NC MOUNTAINS...AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL NOT BE CARRIED IN THE TAFS. ENOUGH LOW LEVEL MOISTURE EXISTS TO CARRY SCATTERED CUMULUS...WITH SCATTERED CIRRUS EXPECTED TO DEVELOP FROM THUNDERSTORM ANVILS IN THE MOUNTAINS. WINDS WILL DECOUPLE SHORTLY AFTER SUNSET WITH THE LOSS OF DAYTIME HEATING. WITH THE AREA IN A STAGNANT AIR MASS...HAZE IS EXPECTED TO RESTRICT VISIBILITY AGAIN TONIGHT AS VERTICAL MIXING CEASES. LOW LEVEL MOISTURE WILL BEGIN TO RECOVER ON THE BACK SIDE OF THE SURFACE RIDGE...ESPECIALLY AT KAND WHICH IS CLOSEST TO A SURFACE MOISTURE BOUNDARY. MODEL GUIDANCE HAS A REDUCED DEW POINT DEPRESSION AT KAND FOR JUST A FEW HOURS...BUT CONFIDENCE IS NOT HIGH ENOUGH AT THIS POINT TO CARRY CATEGORICAL MVFR VISIBILITY. AT KAVL GUIDANCE IS IN BETTER AGREEMENT ON MVFR VISIBILITY JUST BEFORE DAWN...WHERE BOTH HAZE AND FOG WILL BE CARRIED. THE WIND WILL COME UP FROM THE WEST SUNDAY MORNING...MIXING OUT THE HAZE...AND ISOLATED CUMULUS WILL BE CARRIED LATE IN THE MORNING AS SUGGESTED BY MODEL TIME HEIGHT PLOTS. && .GSP WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... GA...NONE. NC...NONE. SC...NONE. && SHORT TERM...JAT/RWH LONG TERM...RWH AVIATION...JAT
