NWS Greenville-Spartanburg, SC wrote its last area forecast discussion before the first event at Jun 27, 6:09 PM EST, 6 minutes earlier.
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE GREENVILLE-SPARTANBURG SC 709 PM EDT WED JUN 27 2007 .SYNOPSIS... THE SOUTHEAST WILL REMAIN UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF A SUBTROPICAL HIGH PRESSURE SYSTEM THROUGH THURSDAY...BEFORE A COLD FRONT APPROACHES THE FORECAST AREA FROM THE NORTH LATE FRIDAY. THIS FRONT WILL THEN MOVE SLOWLY SOUTH ACROSS THE REGION THROUGH SUNDAY MORNING AS HIGH PRESSURE COVERS MUCH OF THE EASTERN SEABOARD BY EARLY NEXT WEEK. && .NEAR TERM /THROUGH THURSDAY/... THE CENTER OF 590DM RIDGE WILL REMAIN OVER THE CWA TONIGHT AND THURSDAY. THE FORECAST CONCERNS ARE CENTERED ON THE DIURNAL TIMING AND STRENGTH OF AIR MASS TSRA. OVER THE NEXT 3-5 HRS...EXPECT SCT PULSE TSRA TO CONTINUE MAINLY IN THE SOUTHERN FOOTHILLS AND THE INTERSTATE 40 CORRDIOR IN THE LEE OF THE NC MTNS. STM MOTIONS WILL REMAIN 10KTS OR LESS...GENERALLY DRIFTING TO THE NORTHEAST. THE ENVIRONMENT MAY ALLOW A FEW OF THE STORMS TO REACH SEVERE LEVELS. HOWEVER...DUE TO SLOW STM MOTIONS AND K-INDEX VALUES 35-40...ISO EXCESSIVE RAIN IS POSSIBLE. AREAS OF MTN VALLEY FOG SHOULD DEVELOP LATE TONIGHT. A BLEND OF THE GFS AND NAM WAS USED FOR THURS. H5 HEIGHTS WILL SLOWLY FALL DURING THE DAY AND A SMALL S/W COULD AUGMENT THE HIGH TERRAIN LIFT LATE THURS AFTERNOON. OVERALL...I ANTICIPATE THAT THE TIMING AND COVERAGE OF CONVECTION WILL CLOSELY FOLLOW TODAY/S TRENDS. I WILL PAINT SCT SHRA/TSRA STARTING AROUND 16Z. && .SHORT TERM /THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY/... THE CONTINUATION OF THE EXPECTED HEIGHT FALLS ACRS THE EASTERN CONUS REMAINS ON TRACK FOR FRIDAY WITH THE FLOW ATOP THE CWFA EVEN SLATED TO BECOME SLIGHTLY CYCLONICALLY CURVED BY FRIDAY NIGHT. THE BETTER FRONTAL ZONE MOISTURE WILL ALSO BEGIN TO IMPINGE UPON THE CWFA AT THIS JUNCTURE. NUMEROUS SHOWERS AND TSTMS ARE EXPECTED FRI AFT/EVE...ESPECIALLY ACRS NC WHERE LARGER SCALE LIFT WILL BE GREATER. GRANTED...WHERE THE ATMOSPHERE SHOULD BECOME MODERATELY UNSTABLE...SOUTH OF FRONTAL ZONE...THE INCREASE IN MID-LVL FLOW IS STILL MODEST...PERHAPS WEAK ENOUGH TO KEEP SVR STORMS ISOLATED...BUT MULTI-CELL DEVELOPMENT REMAINS POSSIBLE ALONG WITH DAMAGING WIND GUSTS. CWFA IS EXPECTED TO REMAIN UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF SLOWLY SOUTHWARD PRESSING FRONTAL ZONE SATURDAY WITH 27/12 UTC OP GFS AND 27/09 UTC SREF IN GOOD AGREEMENT AS FAR AS MASS FIELDS ARE CONCERNED...PROGGED SCATTERED TO NUMEROUS SHOWERS AND TSTMS... ESPECIALLY ACRS MY EASTERN ZONES WHERE LIFT SHOULD BE MAXIMIZED. && .LONG TERM /SATURDAY NIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY/... OVERALL...VERY FEW NOTABLE CHANGES WERE MADE TO THE EXTENDED FORECAST. THE PERIOD BEGINS WITH A COLD FRONT LOCATED JUST TO THE SOUTH OF THE FA. WITH THAT IN MIND...I KEEP SLIGHT CHANCE POPS AROUND THROUGH 12Z SUN. FROM SUN AFTERNOON ONWARD...UPPER TROUGH AXIS SHIFTS OFF THE EAST COAST WITH SURFACE HIGH RIDGING DOWN THE EAST SIDE OF THE APPS. A DRY FORECAST IS IN PLACE THROUGH TUES MORNING...WITH SLIGHT CHANCE POPS TUES AFTERNOON ACROSS THE MOUNTAINS AS SWRLY FLOW RETURNS OUT AHEAD OF LOW PRESSURE DEVELOPING OVER UPPER MIDWEST. EASTERN TROUGH REASSERTS ITSELF BY WEDNESDAY AS A SHORTWAVE DIVES ACROSS THE GREAT LAKES. AT LEAST SLIGHT CHANCE POPS EVERYWHERE WED AFTERNOON THROUGH THURS MORNING AS COLD FRONT APPROACHES FROM THE NORTH. TEMPS WARM THROUGHOUT THE EXTENDED AS SWRLY FLOW DEVELOPS BY MID WEEK WITH LOWER 90S ACROSS THE NC PIEDMONT AND THE UPSTATE. && .AVIATION /23Z WEDNESDAY THROUGH MONDAY/... CONVECTION IS DIMINISHING EVERYWHERE BUT THE INTERSTATE 40 CORRIDOR...AND THE ONLY TAF SITE THAT MAY HAVE THUNDERSTORM ISSUES THIS EVENING WOULD BE KHKY. SATELLITE IMAGERY SHOWS CUMULUS FIELDS IN DECLINE OVER SC TAF SITES...AND THE SAME IS EXPECTED AT KCLT WITH THE LOSS OF HEATING. KHKY MAY BE SLOW TO LOSE LOW CLOUDS WITH CONVECTION CONTINUING LONGER IN THE VICINITY. ANOTHER NIGHT OF FOG IS EXPECTED WITH THE AIR MASS ONLY GETTING MORE MOIST. KAVL IS EXPECTED TO GET DOWN TO LOW MVFR VISIBILITY AT A MINIMUM...AS COOL AIR POOLS IN THE VALLEY. HEAVY RAINS THIS AFTERNOON SHOULD ALLOW KHKY TO REACH IFR VISIBILITY. EVEN KCLT HAS SOME LIGHT RAIN...AND UPPER END MVFR VISIBILITY IS EXPECTED THERE. CEILING PROBLEMS ARE NOT EXPECTED UNLESS KAVL OR KHKY WERE TO GO EVEN LOWER WITH VISIBILITY. THURSDAY SHOULD BE MUCH LIKE TODAY...WITH SCATTERED AFTERNOON CONVECTION BEGINNING AT MIDDAY NEAR THE BLUE RIDGE AND SPREADING EAST. AT THIS POINT ONLY THUNDER IN THE VICINITY WILL BE CARRIED AT KAVL FOR THURSDAY AFTERNOON...WITH SCATTERED CUMULUS CARRIED AT ALL SITES. LOW LEVEL WINDS VEER IN THE AFTERNOON...INTRODUCING A SLIGHT DOWNSLOPE COMPONENT IN THE LEE OF THE MOUNTAINS...AND IF THIS TREND WERE TO INCREASE...AFTERNOON CONVECTION WOULD BE MORE LIMITED THAN CURRENTLY EXPECTED. AVIATION OUTLOOK...SCATTERED AFTERNOON AND EVENING SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS AND EARLY MORNING FOG WILL CONTINUE THROUGH THE END OF THE WEEK. A BACK DOOR COLD FRONT WILL APPROACH LATE FRIDAY AND FRIDAY NIGHT. WIDESPREAD SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS MAY DEVELOP ALONG AND AHEAD OF THE FRONT ACROSS THE WESTERN CAROLINAS. HIGH PRESSURE BUILDING IN FROM THE NORTH WILL PRODUCE VFR WEATHER SUNDAY INTO MONDAY. && .GSP WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... GA...NONE. NC...NONE. SC...NONE. && SYNOPSIS...BSH NEAR TERM...NED SHORT TERM...CSH LONG TERM...BSH AVIATION...JAT
