AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE GREENVILLE-SPARTANBURG SC
1035 PM EDT SUN APR 2 2006
.SHORT TERM /REST OF TONIGHT/...
JUST AS THE NEW PACKAGE WAS GETTING READY TO GO TO
PRESS...CONVECTION BLOSSOMED NOT ONLY IN AREAS WHERE THE SEVERE
THUNDERSTORM WATCH WAS IN EFFECT BUT ALSO THE NORTHERN TIER
COUNTIES OF UPSTATE SOUTH CAROLINA AND NORTHEAST GEORGIA. WE WILL
HAVE TO RE-WORK POP GRIDS TO REFLECT CHANCE OF RAIN FOR THE
SOUTHERN TIER COUNTIES. MEANWHILE...THE LINE OF STORMS COMING OFF
THE MOUNTAINS HAS HELD ITS OWN DESPITE THE PRESENCE OF MUCH DRIER
AIR IN THE IMMEDIATELY ADJACENT FOOTHILLS. WE WILL JUST GO BACK TO
A CHANCE OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS FOR EVERYONE OVERNIGHT.

.PREV DISCUSSION...
/ISSUED 1027 PM EDT SUN APR 2 2006/
SHORT TERM /REST OF TONIGHT/...
SURFACE WARM FRONT CONTINUES TO SLOWLY LIFT NORTHWARD OVER THE
REGION...YET THE REALLY JUICY AND UNSTABLE AIR REMAINS WEST OF THE
MOUNTAINS. LOSS OF DAYTIME HEATING ALSO HELPING TO REDUCE
VISIBILITY. DEWPOINTS HAVE NOT CLIMBED AS HIGH AS WE WERE
ANTICIPATING...AND THERE HAS BEEN VERY LITTLE MOISTURE RECOVERY EAST
OF THE MOUNTAINS AS A LOOK AT THE OBSERVED SOUNDINGS FROM BLACKSBURG
AND GREENSBORO WILL VERIFY. SEVERE SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS DEVELOPED ON
THE TENNESSEE SIDE OF THE MOUNTAINS THIS EVENING...IN THE WARM AND
UNSTABLE AIR MASS THERE...BUT THESE STORMS HAVE BEEN WEAKENING AS
THEY ENCOUNTER THE MUCH DRIER AND MORE STABLE CONDITIONS OVER OUR
CWFA. STILL...THERE HAVE BEEN REPORTS OF WIND DAMAGE IN MADISON
COUNTY. SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH 135 WILL BE CANCELLED COINCIDENT
WITH THIS FORECAST UPDATE...AS IT IS UNLIKELY THAT SEVERE CONVECTION
WILL DEVELOP ANEW WITHIN THE WATCH COUNTIES BEFORE EXPIRATION.
THE SURFACE ANALYSIS SHOWS WARM FRONT LIFTING THROUGH THE UPSTATE
AND WESTERN NORTH CAROLINA...AND EXTENDS NORTHWEST TO A SURFACE WAVE
IN IOWA. A STRONG COLD FRONT EXTENDS SOUTH FROM THE LOW TO THE
SOUTHERN PLAINS. THIS COLD FRONT IS RAPIDLY APPROACHING AHEAD OF A
MAJOR CLOSED LOW AND DEEP TROF THAT ARE FORECAST TO MOVE
PROGRESSIVELY EASTWARD OVERNIGHT. SATELLITE IMAGERY AND UPSTREAM
RADAR COMPOSITES SHOW CONVECTION ASSOCIATED WITH THIS FEATURE MOVING
STEADILY INTO WEST-CENTRAL TENNESSEE BUT WEAKENING AT THE MOMENT.
THIS CONVECTION WILL BE IN OUR VICINITY LATER TONIGHT.
AHEAD OF THE FRONT...WIND FIELDS...ALREADY STRONG...ARE PROJECTED TO
INCREASE EVEN MORE...AND HIGHER TERRAIN LOCATIONS WILL LIKELY SEE
RATHER GUSTY WINDS WELL AHEAD OF THE MAIN SURFACE FRONT AND
ASSOCIATED CONVECTION. WE WILL MAINTAIN THE LAKE WIND ADVISORY FOR
MOUNTAIN LAKES.
FOR THE UPDATE...WE REMOVED CHANCES OF RAIN FROM ALL BUT THE FAR
WESTERN COUNTIES UNTIL THE PREDAWN HOURS...THEN GIVE EVERYONE A
CHANCE OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS LATE IN THE OVERNIGHT. WE
MAINTAINED CHANCE OF RAIN AT 50 PERCENT FOR THE TENNESSEE BORDER
AREAS IN ANTICIPATION OF THE NEXT ROUND OF CONVECTION. JUST A FEW
TWEAKS MADE TO THE OTHER FORECAST ELEMENTS...MAINLY TO RAISE MINIMA
OUTSIDE THE MOUNTAINS WITH INCREASING CLOUDINESS LIMITING
RADIATIONAL COOLING.
PREV DISCUSSION...
/ISSUED 619 PM EDT SUN APR 2 2006/
SHORT TERM /REST OF TONIGHT/...
NEW ZONE PACKAGE AND ASSOCIATED MATRIX PRODUCTS HAVE BEEN UPDATED
TO REFLECT ISSUANCE OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH 135...IN EFFECT
UNTIL MIDNIGHT FOR THE FAR WESTERN 3 NORTH CAROLINA COUNTIES.
PREV DISCUSSION...
/ISSUED 254 PM EDT SUN APR 2 2006/
SHORT TERM /TODAY THROUGH MONDAY/...
SHORTWAVE TROUGH TO DIVE INTO TN VALLEY TONIGHT...CROSSING AREA
MON. WARM FRONT TO LIFT NE ACROSS AREA THIS EVENING...DIRECTING
SCATTERED CONVECTION E ACROSS AREA. LAPSE RATES STEEP ENOUGH FOR
CONCERN ABOUT SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS...AND HAVE OUTLOOKED ENTIRE
AREA...ESPECIALLY MTS. COLD FRONT APPROACHES MTS TOWARD
DAWN...WHEN MODEL HAVE BEST OMEGA...BUT GUIDANCE POPS NOTABLY
BELOW LIKELY...AND HAVE CUT BACK TO HIGH CHANCE IN W WITH LOW
CHANCE IN E. WINDS TO INCREASE IN WARM SECTOR AHEAD OF COLD FRONT
TONIGHT AS GRADIENT TIGHTENS. WILL ISSUE LAKE WIND ADVISORY NC MTS
MIDNIGHT UNTIL 6 AM.
AS FRONT MOVES ACROSS AREA MON...BEST CHANCE OF PRECIPITATION SHIFTS
TO E PORTION OF AREA. UPPER LEVEL DIVERGENCE RATHER STRONG AND CAPE
BECOMES RATHER LARGE IN E...SO ANOTHER DAY OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORM
CONCERN...THIS TIME MAINLY I-77. BY LATE AFTERNOON POPS DROP IN
FOOTHILLS WITH DRYING BEHIND FRONT...WHILE MOISTURE ACCOMPANYING
UPPER SYSTEM REACHES N NC MTS IN UPSLOPE FLOW...SUPPORTING INCREASED
CHANCE OF SHOWERS. WIND TO COME UP AHEAD OF FRONT ALMOST ENTIRE AREA
MON AFTERNOON...GRADUALLY SHIFTING WITH FROPA BEFORE EVENING...AND
WIND OF ADVISORY CRITERIA MAY BE POSSIBLE IN NC MTS.
LONG TERM /MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY/...
STRONG FROPA EARLY MONDAY NIGHT. GOOD COLD ADVECTION AND H8 WNDS
OF 40 TO 50 KTS WL LIKELY RESULT IN WIND ADVISORY CONDITIONS IN
THE NRN MTNS...AND POSSIBLY INTO THE SRN AND CENTRAL MTNS AS WELL.
NAM HAS QUITE A BIT OF NW FLOW MOISTURE BANKED UP AGAINST THE
MTNS. BUFKIT AND AWIPS SOUNDINGS IMPLY THAT THERE COULD BE SOME
FREEZING DRIZZLE BETWEEN ABOUT 1500 AND 4000 FEET LATER AT NIGHT.
WON/T CARRY THAT NOW AS CONFIDENCE IS STILL A LITTLE LOW...BUT ITS
WORTH WATCHING.
WINDY IN THE MTNS AND BREEZY ELSEWHERE ON TUE...THOUGH WITH THE
AMOUNT OF H5 ENERGY OVER THE GREAT LAKES STATES AND NEW
ENGLAND...WNDS MAY VERIFY STRONGER...ESPECIALLY IN THE NC ZONES. MAX
TEMPS ARE IN LINE WITH GUIDANCE...WITH HIGHS IN THE 60S MOST
FOOTHILLS AND PIEDMONT LOCATIONS. SOME MTN RIDGETOPS PROBABLY
WON/T MAKE IT OUT OF THE 40S ON TUE WITH STEEP LAPSE RATES IN
PLACE.
WITH H5 UPPER LOW SLOWLY PUSHING OFF THE NEW ENGLAND COAST WED
MORNING...SFC RIDGE WL BEGIN TO BUILD INTO THE REGION. THE NAM IS A
LITTLE MORE PROGRESSIVE WITH THE UPPER LOW...AND THEREFORE CENTERS
THE SFC HIGH JUST ABOUT ON TOP OF THE SRN APPALACHIANS EARLY WED.
CONSIDERING THE DRY AIRMASS AND GOOD RADIATIONAL COOLING THIS WOULD
AFFORD...A FROST OR EVEN A FREEZE WOULD BE A GOOD BET FOR THE NC
FOOTHILLS AND PIEDMONT...AND POSSIBLY FOR THE UPSTATE AND NE GA. IF
THE GFS IS RIGHT...MIXING WL BE STRONGER WITH THE CHANCES OF A
FROST/FREEZE NOT AS GOOD. FOR NOW INCLUDED PATCHY FROST IN THE
NON-MTN ZONES WHERE THE LOW IS 36 OR LESS.
LATEST GFS HAS COME MUCH MORE INTO LINE WITH THE 00 UTC RUN OF
THE ECMWF. THIS SOLUTION IS SLOWER WITH THE NEXT UPPER LOW THAT
MOVES OUR WAY. WITH H8 TEMPS WARMING TO AROUND +14 DEG C THU AND
FRI AHEAD OF THE LOW...MAX TEMPS LOOK TO BE AT LEAST IN THE 70S IF
NOT 80S THOSE TWO DAYS. HAVE INCLUDED A LOW CHANCE POP FRI AND
SAT AS THE UPPER LOW MOVES ACROSS THE REGION. NOT SURE HOW MUCH
MOISTURE THIS WAVE WL TAP AS IT DOESN/T LOOK TO BE OF SUFFICIENT
AMPLITUDE TO REALLY TAP THE GULF. DRY AND STILL MILD ON SUNDAY.
AVIATION...
CONVECTIVE ACTIVITY MOVING INTO SW NC MTS TO DIMINISH AS IT PASSES
BETWEEN KAVL AND KAND...WHERE VCSH WIL BE CARRIED. ACTIVITY MAY NOT
MAKE IT AS FAR E AS KGSP/KGMU. EXPECT SCT LOW CLOUDS TO DEVELOP THIS
AFTERNOON AS WARM FRONT LIFTS N BRINGING LOW LEVEL MOISTURE TO
AREA...WITH SOME HIGH ALTOCUMULUS LEFTOVER FROM CONVECTION IN MTS.
WIND STAY UP OUT OF SW TONIGHT...BUT WITH SLIGHT VEERING...KAVL
WIND SHOULD TURN FROM S TO NW...LOCKING IN LOW VFR CIG OVERNIGHT.
EXPECT LOW MVFR CIGS SC TAF SITES AS WELL WITH MOISTURE BETWEEN
WARM AND COLD FRONTS. BEST LOW LEVEL MOISTURE MOVES NE TO NC
PIEDMONT BY MORNING...SHIFTING FOCUS OF LOW VFR CIGS FROM SC
SITES...TO KHKY/KCLT. BY LATE MORNING...WIND SHOULD COME UP AS
GRADIENT TIGHTENS AHEAD OF APPROACHING SURFACE LOW.
FIRE WEATHER...
DEWPOINTS MIX OUT INTO THE 20S ACROSS MUCH OF THE CWFA TUESDAY
AFTERNOON. IN FACT...BUFKIT SOUNDINGS IMPLY THAT MOS DEWPOINTS MAY
BE 3 TO 5 DEG TOO HIGH IN SOME INSTANCES. WHILE I DID GO A LITTLE
UNDER MOS...I DIDN/T GO THAT LOW. WITH DOWNSLOPE HELPING TO WARM MAX
TEMPS INTO THE M60S TO NEAR 70 IN THE FOOTHILLS AND PIEDMONT...MIN
RH/S WL FALL TO 25 PERCENT OR LESS IN MANY LOCATIONS. ATTM WINDS ARE
NOT STRONG ENOUGH TO WARRANT A RED FLAG WATCH. HOWEVER...BOTH THE
NAM...AND ESPECIALLY THE GFS...STILL HAVE QUITE STRONG CYCLONIC FLOW
OVER THE REGION. THEREFORE...THE MODEL WINDS MAY ALSO BE UNDERDONE
FOR TUE. CONSIDERING THE UNCERTAINTY IN THE WINDS AND IN HOW MUCH
WETTING RAIN WE WLL GET...DO NOT PLAN TO ISSUE A FIRE WEATHER WATCH
THIS PACKAGE. HOWEVER...IF QPF IS LIGHT...A WATCH WL LIKELY NEED TO
BE ISSUED LATER TONIGHT OR TOMORROW.
