AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE GREENVILLE-SPARTANBURG SC 251 PM EDT SAT JUL 22 2006 .SHORT TERM /TONIGHT THROUGH MONDAY NIGHT/... CONVECTIVE STORMS STILL EXPECTED TO DEVELOP VICINITY MOUNTAINS IN AXIS OF MOISTURE CONVERGENCE AND MODERATELY HIGH CAPE LATE THIS AFTERNOON AND MOVE EASTWARD ACROSS PIEDMONT SECTIONS OF THE CWA THIS EVENING. EARLY EVENING POPS WILL RANGE FROM LIKELY IN WEST TO CHANCE IN EAST. DURING OVERNIGHT PERIOD... POPS WILL BE DECREASED TO CHANCE IN WEST WITH LIKELY IN EXTREME EAST. THIS PATTERN FITS EXPECTED EASTWARD MOVEMENT OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS FOLLOWED BY INFILTRATION OF MORE STABLE AIR IN WEST FOLLOWING PASSAGE OF WEAK FRONT. DURING SUNDAY... POPS WILL DROP TO SLIGHT CHANCE ACROSS WEST BUT WILL HOLD ON TO CHANCE POPS EASTERN AND SOUTHERN ZONES. NAM INDICATES FRONTAL BOUNDARY WILL BE DRAPED ACROSS EASTERN NC EXTENDING SOUTHWEST ACROSS CENTRAL SC WITH AREA OF MODERATELY HIGH CAPES AFFECTING EAST AND SOUTHEAST PART OF CWA. NAM ALSO HINTS AT PRESENCE OF WEAK WAVE ON FRONT WHICH WOULD ENHANCE POSSIBILITY OF CONVECTION DURING AFTERNOON. FOLLOWING PASSAGE OF FRONT... LIGHT SURFACE WINDS WILL SHIFT TO NORTHWEST THEN NORTHEAST DURING TOMORROW. HOWEVER... VARIABLE OR LIGHT SOUTHWEST WIND WILL PERSIST SUNDAY AFTERNOON EXTREME SOUTHERN ZONES NEAR FRONTAL BOUNDARY. FOLLOWED GFS MOS TEMPERATURES FOR TONIGHT AND SUNDAY FORECAST. TOKEN CHANCE POPS WILL BE MAINTAINED ACROSS THE FAR SOUTHERN AND EASTERN PORTIONS OF THE CWFA FOR SUNDAY EVENING...IN ASSOCIATIONS WITH PROGGED LOCATION OF DEEP LAYER RH AND FRONTAL BOUNDARY POSITION. BY LATE MONDAY...THE MODELS CONTINUE TO HINT AT A NORTHWARD SHIFT OF THE FRONTAL BOUNDARY IN RESPONSE TO APPROACHING SW TROUGH. HOWEVER...THEY DIFFER ON HOW FAR NORTH AND WEST DEEP LAYER MOISTURE WILL ADVECT. THE GFS HAS BEEN VERY PERSISTENT IN SURGING DEEP LAYER RH AS FAR WEST AS THE TENN/NC BORDER...WHILE THE NAM IS QUITE A BIT FURTHER EAST. AT THIS POINT FEEL THE BEST COURSE OF ACTION IS TO MAINTAIN CHANCE POPS ACROSS THE ENTIRE CWFA MON AND MON EVENING... 30S WEST...40S SOUTH AND EAST. && .LONG TERM /TUESDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/... THERE HAS BEEN SOME DEVIATION IN THE MEDIUM RANGE MODELS FROM PRIOR SOLUTIONS...MAINLY IN ALLOWING A MEAN TROUGH TO LINGER ACROSS THE EASTERN CONUS A BIT LONGER THAN PREVIOUSLY PROGGED. THIS MAY PROVIDE FOR A SLIGHTLY WETTER EXTENDED PERIOD THAN WAS EXPECTED EARLIER. IN FACT...THE GFS MAINTAINS A QUITE MOIST AIRMASS OVER THE AREA FOR MUCH OF THE EXTENDED PERIOD. AT THIS POINT...DON/T FEEL IT IS NECESSARY TO GET TOO CUTE WITH POPS...AND WILL MAINLY ADVERTISE DIURNAL CHANCES FOR DEEP CONVECTION IN THE 30 TO 40 PERCENT RANGE THROUGH THE PERIOD. && .AVIATION... MID AFTERNOON MOISTURE CONVERGENCE FAVORS AREA EAST OF MOUNTAINS FOR CONVECTIVE STORM DEVELOPMENT AHEAD OF APPROACHING FRONTAL SYSTEM. VCTS WILL BE INCLUDED AT ALL TAF SITES UNTIL EARLY EVENING. STABLE AIR WILL MOVE INTO AVL AREA SHORTLY AFTER SUNSET AND SPREAD SLOWLY EASTWARD TO CLT AREA BY MIDNIGHT. WIDESPREAD LOW CEILINGS NOT EXPECTED OVERNIGHT EAST OF MOUNTAINS... BUT MVFR VISIBILITIES WILL OCCUR BETWEEN APPROXIMATELY 06Z AND 13Z. GUIDANCE INDICATES LOWER CONDITIONS AT AVL SO A PERIOD OF STRATUS AND FOG AFTER 06Z DISSIPATING BY 14Z. LIGHT SOUTHWEST WINDS EXPECTED EXCEPT STRONG AND GUSTY NEAR THUNDERSTORMS. FOLLOWING PASSAGE OF FRONT DURING THE NIGHT...
