Hail in North Carolina, June 30, 2012

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE GREENVILLE-SPARTANBURG SC
743 PM EDT SAT JUN 30 2012

.SYNOPSIS...
HIGH PRESSURE THAT IS CAUSING A HEAT WAVE ACROSS THE REGION WILL
CONTINUE THROUGH MONDAY. THIS HIGH PRESSURE WILL START TO WEAKEN ON
TUESDAY...ENDING THE TRIPLE DIGIT HEAT AND INCREASING THE CHANCES
FOR AFTERNOON SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS THROUGHT THE REST OF THE WEEK.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH SUNDAY/...
AS OF EARLY EVENING...TEMPS QUITE WARM AGAIN BUT FCST HAS THE TREND
CAPTURED FAIRLY WELL. A FEW CONVECTIVE UPDRAFTS HAVE MANAGED TO
BREAK THROUGH THE CAP OVER THE HIGHER TERRAIN...RESULTING IN
THUNDERSTORMS QUICKLY BECOMING SEVERE NEAR THE BLUE RIDGE IN NW NC
LATE IN THE AFTERNOON. ACTIVITY HAS TEMPORARILY DIED DOWN...BUT WILL
HAVE TO KEEP A CLOSE EYE ON THE MTNS THROUGH THE EVENING. WILL ALSO
MONITOR FOR MCS DEVELOPMENT...ALTHO UNLIKE LAST NIGHT...ORGANIZED
CONVECTION HAS YET TO DEVELOP OVER THE MIDWEST/OH VALLEY.

REMAINDER OF PREVIOUS DISCUSSION...

SUNDAY...THE POTENTIAL OF SIGNIFICANT CONVECTION HAS BEEN TRENDING
GREATER IN THE NAM...GFS...AND ECMWF. FORECAST SOUNDINGS INDICATE
THAT THE LFC COULD BE REACHED OVER THE MTNS AND FOOTHILLS BY 21Z.
ALL THREE SOLUTIONS INDICATE A CONVECTIVE COMPLEX DEVELOPING OVER
THE MTNS AND EXPANDING EAST THROUGH THE EVENING. H5 RIDGE CENTER
SLIDES SOUTH...POSSIBLY ALLOWING A WEAK VORT MAX TO RIPPLE ACROSS
THE CWA. IN ADDITION...MID LEVEL TEMPS MAY DROP A COUPLE OF
DEGREES...RESULTING IN H9 TO H7 LAPSE RATES IN EXCESS OF 10C. CAPE
VALUES MAY EXCEED 3000 J/KG WITH SWEAT ABOVE 400. WBZ WILL REMAIN
HIGH AROUND 11.5 TO 12 KFT. HOWEVER...THE HIGH CAPE...STEEP LAPSE
RATES...AND HIGH EQLV SHOULD SUPPORT SEVERAL SVR HAIL EVENTS. IN
ADDITION...FORECAST SOUNDINGS SHOW AN INVERTED V PROFILE WITH SFC
DELTA THETA-E BETWEEN 25 TO 30...SUPPORTING SEVERE DOWNBURST. WE
WILL HIGHLIGHT HAIL AND WIND IN THE HWO.

HIGH TEMPERATURES SHOULD VERIFY SLIGHTLY LESS THAN TODAY WITH
DEWPOINTS A DEGREE OR TWO WARMER. HI VALUES SHOULD REACH 105 TO 109
ALONG AND EAST OF THE I-85 CORRIDOR AND EASTERN I-40 CORRIDOR. WE
HAVE ISSUED A HEAT ADVISORY FROM NOON UNTIL 8PM.

&&

.SHORT TERM /SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH MONDAY NIGHT/...
AS OF 230 PM SATURDAY...THE LARGE SCALE SUBSIDENCE FORCING WILL
BEGIN TO DIMINISH MON AS CONTINUOUS UPPER ENERGY CHIPS AWAY AT THE
H593 HIGH. SFC MIXING WILL BE RELATIVELY HIGH OUTSIDE THE
MTNS...ABOUT 8-10 KFT MON AND TUE...WHICH WILL KEEP ANY CONVECTIVE
THREAT LOW END OR ISOL...HOWEVER THE NC MTNS WILL BE AIDED BY
INCREASING MECHANICAL LIFT...SO SCATTERED CONVECTION WILL BE
ADVERTISED THERE EACH AFTERNOON. SOME MODEST SBCAPE WILL MATERIALIZE
EACH DAY AND WITH PERIODS OF DPVA ENHANCEMENT...SOME OF THESE STORMS
COULD BECOME STRONG TO SEVERE. MAINLY A LARGE HAIL AND LIGHTNING
THREAT AS THE MID LEVELS LOOK TO MOISTEN UP SIGNIFICANTLY...YET THE
HIGH BASES AND DCAPE MAY PERMIT A FEW WET OR EVEN DRY MICROBURST
STORMS TO DEVELOP...ESP OUTSIDE THE MTNS. MAX TEMPS WILL STILL BE
WELL ABOVE NORMAL MON AND LIKELY AROUND 100 DEGREES OUTSIDE THE MTNS
AND SOUTH OF THE I-40 CORRIDOR. A SLIGHT COOL DOWN BY A COUPLE
DEGREES IS IN STORE FOR TUE AS DYNAMICAL PARCEL HEATING IS REDUCED
WITH THE WANING SUBSIDENCE PATTERN.

&&

.LONG TERM /TUESDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/...
AS OF 145 PM EDT...THE LONG RANGE PATTERN PROVIDES A RELATIVE RELIEF
TO THE RECENT HIGH TEMPS. HOWEVER...MAXES WILL STILL MAKE INTO THE
LOWER 90S NON/MTNS AS THE UPPER RIDGE TRANSITIONS INTO A BROAD EAST
COAST TROF. LITTLE MOISTURE WILL BE AVAILABLE AS SUBSIDENCE REMAINS
A KEY PLAYER AND WINDS MAINTAIN A STRONG WESTERLY COMPONENT. A
COULPE RATHER STOUT LOOKING VORT MAXES WILL ROUND THE WRN RIDGE AND
REACH THE FA BOTH WED AND THU AFTERNOONS...WHICH WILL MAXIMIXE THE
CONVECTIVE POTENTIAL EACH AFTERNOON. POPS WERE THUS ADJ UP A
LITTLE...YET OVERALL A NEAR CLIMO POP REGIME SHOULD BE IN PLACE.
MAINLY LOW END CHANCE ACROSS THE MTNS AND SLIGHT CHANCE ELSEWHERE
EACH DAY. WITH THE LLVL W/LY FLOW...MAXES WILL STILL REACH A FEW
CATS ABOVE ABOVE NORMAL WED/THU...M90S NON/MTNS...AND A COUPLE
DEGREES COOLER FRI/SAT.

&&

.AVIATION /00Z SUNDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/...
AT KCLT AND ELSEWHERE...VFR CONDITIONS EXPECTED THROUGH THE TAF
PERIOD. THERE ARE SOME POINTS OF FAILURE IN THIS FORECAST THOUGH.
THIS EVENING...DEEP CONVECTION IS POSSIBLE MAINLY AROUND KAVL.
BETTER MOISTURE AND INSTABILITY REMAIN OVER THE PIEDMONT OF VA...BUT
OUTFLOWS WILL HAVE TO BE MONITORED LIKE LAST EVENING. WINDS WILL
BECOME LIGHT AND VARIABLE WITH SUNSET...AND WILL CONTINUE VARIABLE
INTO SUNDAY MORNING. THERE SHOULD BE SOME THICKER VALLEY FOG IN THE
LITTLE TN RIVER VALLEY AROUND FRANKLIN. AIR MASS CONTINUES TO SLOWLY
MOISTEN AND FOG CANNOT BE RULED OUT AT KAVL...BUT HAVE ELECTED TO
KEEP IT OUT FOR NOW. ON SUNDAY AFTERNOON...EXPECT CONVECTIVE
INITIATION LATE IN THE DAY OVER THE HIGHER TERRAIN. LEFT PRECIP
MENTION OUT OF KAVL FOR THIS ISSUANCE BUT TSTMS COULD DEVELOP NEAR
THERE BY THE END OF THE TAF PERIOD. THINK THE STORMS WILL NOT MOVE
OFF THE BLUE RIDGE UNTIL AROUND SUNSET.

OUTLOOK...GRADUAL INCREASE IN AIR MASS MOISTURE AND CHANGES IN
STEERING FLOW MAY RESULT IN AN SLIGHT INCREASE IN TSRA POTENTIAL
INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK. OTHERWISE...HOT AIRMASS WILL LINGER INTO NEXT
WEEK.

.FIRE WEATHER...
TEMPERATURES AND DEW POINTS WILL BE A LITTLE HIGHER TODAY THAN ON
FRIDAY. THIS SHOULD STILL PRODUCE AFTERNOON RH VALUES BELOW THE
CRITICAL 25 PERCENT THRESHOLD FOR SEVERAL HOURS ACROSS SWRN PORTIONS
OF THE CWFA. FOLLOWING COORDINATION WITH FFC...WILL POST A FIRE DANGER
STATEMENT FOR STEPHENS THROUGH ELBERT COUNTIES FOR THIS AFTN/EARLY
EVENING.
