AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE GREENVILLE-SPARTANBURG SC
205 PM EDT SUN JUN 9 2013
.SYNOPSIS...
MOIST SOUTHERLY FLOW WILL CONTINUE AHEAD OF AN APPROACHING UPPER LOW
PRESSURE TROUGH TONIGHT. THE TROUGH WILL PUSH A COLD FRONT INTO THE
REGION MONDAY NIGHT...FOLLOWED BY HIGH PRESSURE TUESDAY AND
WEDNESDAY. ANOTHER FRONT IS EXPECTED TO MOVE ACROSS THE AREA LATE IN
THE WEEK.
&&
.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...
1000 AM UPDATE...WIDESPREAD CONVECTION NOT FIRING QUITE AS QUICKLY
AS EXPECTED THIS MRNG OVER OUR CWFA THOUGH HEALTHY CELLS ARE MOVING
THRU THE AUGUSTA GA AREA. HAVE NOT EVEN SEEN CU DEVELOPMENT YET SO
TRIMMED BACK POPS GREATLY THRU NOON. SPC MESOANALYSIS INDICATES
UPWARDS OF 500 J SBCAPE OVER THE FOOTHILLS/PIEDMONT ATTM...BUT POOR
LAPSE RATES JUST ABOVE THE SFC PER 12Z FFC RAOB MAY BE CAPPING
THINGS OFF. 12Z NAM AND RECENT RAP RUNS SHOW ABUNDANT CONVECTION BY
MIDDAY WITH AN EARLIER THAN USUAL PEAK IN CAPES...DIMINISHING
GREATLY BY MID AFTN POSSIBLY INDICATING THE MODELS THINK THE EARLY
ACTIVITY WILL USE UP THE AVAILABLE INSTABILITY. GIVEN THE USUAL
DIURNAL TRENDS AS WELL AS THE REMAINING 500-800 J CAPES SHOWN LATER
IN THE AFTN...MAINTAINED LATE AFTN PEAK POPS FROM PREV PACKAGE.
ADJUSTED TEMPS/DEWPTS PER LATEST OBS...ALLOWING FOR FASTER WARMING
IN THE GENERALLY CLEARER THAN ANTICIPATED SKIES THIS AM.
PREV DISCUSSION...
AS OF 300 AM...DEEP DIGGING SHORTWAVE WILL CLOSE OFF INTO A CLOSE
UPR LOW TODAY...BUT REMAIN PROGRESSIVE AS IT ENTERS THE UPR MS
VALLEY. DEEP SWLY FLOW AHEAD OF THE TROF WILL PERSIST ACRS THE SE
STATES AND ADVECT PWATS OF 125-175% OF NORMAL ATOP THE CWFA THRU THE
NEAR TERM. THE MOISTURE AND INCREASING UPR SUPPORT SHUD RESULT IN
SOLID COVERAGE OF SHWRS AND TSTMS DEVELOPING THIS AFTN...WITH POPS
RAMPING UP FROM SW TO NE. FCST SNDGS SHOW 1500-2000 J/KG OF UNCAPPED
CAPE TODAY...ESP IN THE UPSTATE AND NE GA. THE OP MODELS INDICATE
CONVECTION FIRING BY NOON ACRS THE SRN HALF OF THE CWFA...WHILE THE
MAJORITY OF THE CONVECTION-ALLOWING MODELS (CAMS) HINT THAT DEBRIS
CIRRUS FROM GULF CONVECTION WILL DELAY THE ONSET HERE TILL MID AFTN.
IN ANY CASE...HAVE HIGH-END CHC TO LIKELY ALL ZONES TODAY. GOOD NEWS
IS HIGH FREEZING LVLS AND MOIST PROFILES SHUD LIMIT SEVERE THREAT.
THERE MAY AN ISOLD SEVERE STORM OR TWO THIS AFTN...WITH DOWNBURST
WINDS THE MAIN THREAT. TEMPS WILL BE HELD SLIGHTLY BELOW NORMAL IN
MOST SPOTS WITH THE HUMIDITY AND CLOUD COVER.
GUIDANCE IN GOOD AGREEMENT (INCLUDING THE CAMS) ON ANOTHER ROUND OF
AT LEAST LIKELY POPS LATE THIS EVENING WELL INTO THE OVERNIGHT...AS
A SPOKE OF VORTICITY WILL ROUND THE UPSTREAM TROF AND CROSS THE AREA
FROM THE SW. LOOKING AT THE NAM AND GFS MUCAPE FIELDS AND THE FCST
SNDGS...CAPE APPEARS TO REMAIN MARGINAL IN THE 500-800 J/KG RANGE.
HOWEVER...850 MB FLOW WILL INCREASE TO 35-40 KTS...ESP IN THE
PIEDMONT AND BULK SHEAR RAMPS UP TO 35-40 KTS AS WELL...WHICH COULD
SUSTAIN A FAIR AMOUNT OF CONVECTION. A DAMAGING WIND THREAT MAY
ACTUALLY INCREASE...AS GREATER POTENTIAL FOR SEMI-ORGANIZED
CLUSTERS...WITH THE INCREASED BULK SHEAR AND UPR SUPPORT. DESPITE
HIGH POPS AND WET ANTECEDENT CONDITIONS...HYDRO THREAT STILL LOOKS
TO BE TOO ISOLD TO WARRANT A FLASH FLOOD WATCH. NONE OF THE
INGREDIENTS FOR WIDESPREAD EXCESSIVE RAIN LOOK HIGH ENUF. WILL
CONTINUE TO MENTION THE HEAVY RAIN/FLOOD THREAT IN THE HWO.
&&
.SHORT TERM /MONDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
CA
AS OF 1245 PM SUNDAY...LINGERING DEEP CONVECTIVE CHANCES WILL REMAIN
IN THE FORECAST THRU MONDAY NIGHT SINCE THE 09/12 UTC OP SHORT RANGE
MODELS CONTINUE TO ADVERTISE THE PASSAGE OF A SHARP LOOKING S/WV
TROUGH. WITH THE LATEST NAM RUN NOW IN STEP WITH THE OP GFS IN
TRANSLATING UPPER TROUGH AXIS DOWNSTREAM OF THE CWFA BY TUESDAY
AFTERNOON...WITH PLAN ON SHAVING BACK POP A BIT MORE...ESPECIALLY
GIVING THE PALTRY MOS POPS...FALLING SFC DWPTS AND SOME DOWNSLOPE
FLOW. MAX TEMPERATURES REMAIN SLATED TO REBOUND TO VALUES VERY CLOSE
TO CLIMO.
THE CWFA WILL BE UNDER BROADLY DIFFLUENT WNW FLOW ALOFT TUESDAY
NIGHT INTO WEDNESDAY AND IT IS WITHIN THE REALM OF POSSIBILITY
THAT OHIO VALLEY MCS ACTIVITY WILL MAKE A RUN AT THE NW CWFA BY
WED AM...BUT CONFIDENCE IS STILL NOT HIGH ENUF TO INTRODUCE ANYTHING
AT THIS POINT. UNLESS IT BECOMES OBVIOUS THAT AN IMPULSE/OUTFLOW
IS GOING TO MAKE IT/S WAY ACRS THE CWFA WEDNESDAY WILL PLAN ON
LIMITING DIURNAL TSTM CHANCES TO THE MTNS/LEE TROUGH LOCALES.
&&
.LONG TERM /WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY/...
CA
AS OF 1130 AM EDT SUNDAY...A BROAD UPPER RIDGE OF H5 HIGH WILL
REMAIN ANCHORED ACROSS THE SOUTHERN PLAINS...LEAVING OUR FORECAST
AREA UNDER N/NW FLOW ALOFT THROUGH MUCH OF THE MEDIUM RANGE PERIOD.
AT THE SURFACE...A WEAK SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE WILL PREVAIL WED NIGHT
INTO THURSDAY ACROSS THE REGION PROVIDING MOSTLY DRY CONDITIONS. A
COLD FRONT IS EXPECTED TO MOVE ACROSS THE REGION THU NIGHT INTO
EARLY FRI. MODELS AGREE THAT THE FRONT WILL WEAKEN AS IT CROSSES THE
CWA. HENCE...I HAVE CARRIED LOW END CHANCE POPS DURING THIS PERIOD.
CONDITIONS LOOK DRY FOR THE NEXT WEEKEND WITH HIGH PRESSURE BUILDING
ACROSS THE REGION. TEMPS ON THURSDAY WILL BE AROUND 3-5 DEGREES
ABOVE NORMAL WITH HIGHS REACHING THE LOW 90S EAST OF THE MTNS. THEN
TEMPS BACK TO NEAR...OR A FEW DEGREES BELOW NORMAL FRI/SAT BEFORE
WARMING UP TO NEAR NORMAL SUN.
&&
.AVIATION /18Z SUNDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/...
AT KCLT...VIGOROUS CONVECTION WILL BE ONGOING AROUND THE REGION THIS
AFTERNOON...THOUGH BEST TS CHANCES WILL BE WEST OF THE FIELD.
INCLUDED A TEMPO FOR TSRA WITH MVFR VSBY THOUGH IFR MIGHT EVEN BE
POSSIBLE FOR A TIME IN HVY RA. LOW VFR CU BASES WILL HANG AROUND
INTO THE EVENING...WITH LIKELY RAIN AND SLIGHT TS CHANCES CONTINUING
OVERNIGHT. DEEPENING MOISTURE AND UPPER DISTURBANCES WILL ENHANCE
CLOUD DEVELOPMENT AND CIGS SHOULD LOWER TO MVFR THEN IFR TOWARD
DAYBREAK. UNSTABLE ENVIRONMENT MON MRNG AHEAD OF COLD FRONT WILL
BRING BACK THUNDER CHANCES. HAVE SUFFICIENT CONFIDENCE TO GO
PREVAILING -TSRA WITH MVFR CLOUD BASES AFTER 14Z. STRENGTHENING LLVL
WINDS WILL ALLOW GUSTS TO AROUND 20KT AT THIS TIME IGNORING ANY
STRONGER GUSTS WHICH MIGHT ACCOMPANY TS.
ELSEWHERE...THUNDERSTORM CHANCES BEST OVER THE WRN SITES TODAY...BUT
ALL SITES ARE AT SOME RISK OF BEING AFFECTED. HEAVY RAIN WITH MVFR
TO PERHAPS IFR VSBY IS THE MOST LIKELY EFFECT AT THE TAF TERMINALS.
CLOUD BASES SHOULD GENERALLY REMAIN LOW VFR INTO THE EVENING.
INCREASING LLVL MOISTURE WITH SOMEWHAT UPSLOPE WINDS WILL LIKELY
LEAD TO THE DEVELOPMENT OF AN MVFR DECK LATE THIS EVENING WHICH SOME
GUIDANCE SUGGESTS WILL LOWER TO IFR TOWARD DAYBREAK ACROSS MAINLY
THE UPSTATE SC SITES. PRECIP AND LESSER THUNDER CHANCES WILL
CONTINUE OVERNIGHT...RAMPING BACK UP MON MRNG AS INSTABILITY GROWS
AHEAD OF COLD FRONT WHICH WILL PASS AFTER 18Z. GIVEN THE MOIST
CONDITIONS AND ONGOING PRECIP CIGS WILL LIKELY BE SLOW TO LIFT AFTER
SUNRISE. S TO SW WINDS WILL PREVAIL THRU THE PERIOD. AS LOW LEVEL
JET DEVELOPS OVERNIGHT AHEAD OF THE FRONT...THE MTNS ARE AT RISK FOR
LLWS NEAR 020...BUT LEFT OUT OF KAVL TAF DUE TO POOR AGREEMENT FROM
GUIDANCE.
OUTLOOK...A COLD FRONT WILL ARRIVE LATE MONDAY ASSOCIATED WITH MORE
WIDESPREAD SHOWERS AND STORMS. CONDITIONS WILL IMPROVE ON TUESDAY
AND THROUGH THE MIDWEEK AS UPPER LEVEL HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS.
