AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE GREENVILLE-SPARTANBURG SC
1021 PM EDT FRI AUG 22 2014
.SYNOPSIS...
A BROAD UPPER LEVEL RIDGE OF HIGH PRESSURE WILL CONTINUE TO BRING
VERY WARM TEMPERATURES TO MUCH OF THE REGION INTO SATURDAY. A BACK
DOOR COLD FRONT WILL THEN PUSH INTO THE AREA FROM NORTHEAST USHERING
IN COOLER TEMPERATURES STARTING SUNDAY. TEMPERATURES WILL GRADUALLY
RETURN TO NORMAL THROUGH NEXT WEEK.
&&
.NEAR TERM /THROUGH SATURDAY/...
AS OF 1020 PM...WHILE DOING A GOOD JOB LAST NIGHT...THE CAM GUIDANCE
IS DOING A POOR JOB TONIGHT. THE GUIDANCE CANNOT GET A HANDLE ON THE
FEATURES AND ASSOCIATED CONVECTION. AFTER DIMINISHING...SCT SHRA AND
ISOLATED TSRA HAVE DEVELOPED ACROSS THE NRN MTNS AND MOVED INTO THE
NRN FOOTHILLS AND NC PIEDMONT THIS EVENING. THIS CONVECTION SHUD
MOVE SE ACROSS THE AREA THRU THE REST OF THE EVENING AND EARLY
OVERNIGHT HOURS BEFORE DISSIPATING. THE NEXT AREA OF CONVECTION WILL
MOVE INTO THE NRN MTNS AROUND MIDNIGHT AND MAY SPREAD ACROSS THE
SAME AREA OUTSIDE OF THE MTNS BEFORE DISSIPATING BY DAYBREAK.
CONVECTION MAY ALSO SPREAD ACROSS THE TN BORDER COUNTIES...BEFORE
DISSIPATING BY DAYBREAK. SHUD SEE QUITE A BIT OF DEBRIS CLOUDS
ACROSS THE NRN TIER THRU THE NITE...WITH LESS CLOUDS OVER THE WRN
UPSTATE AND NE GA. HAVE UPDATED FOR THESE FEATURES AND CURRENT
CONDITIONS.
AS OF 750 PM...INITIAL CONVECTION HAS DISSIPATED...BUT ANOTHER LINE
IS MOVING INTO THE NRN TIER. HOWEVER...THIS CONVECTION IS WEAKENING
AND DISSIPATING AS IF MOVES IN. EXPECT THIS TREND TO CONTINUE WITH
SCT AT BEST ACROSS THE NRN TIER BEFORE DISSIPATING. YET ANOTHER MCS
IS MOVING SOUTH TOWARD THE AREA FROM KY AND WV. POP IS ALREADY IN
PLACE FOR THIS CONVECTION IF IT CAN MAKE IT THIS FAR SOUTH BEFORE
DISSIPATING. HOWEVER...BEST CHC REMAINS ACROSS THE NRN TIER.
OTHERWISE...GOING FCST LOOKS ON TRACK.
AS OF 425 PM...CONVECTION DEVELOPING MUCH SLOWER THAN FORECAST
ACROSS THE AREA. LIKELY DUE TO LACK OF TRIGGER AND VERY HIGH LFC
VALUES. HAVE SLOWED THE ONSET OF SCT COVERAGE A COUPLE OF HOURS BUT
LEFT ISOLATED IN PLACE GIVEN THE ISOLATED COVERAGE NOW DEVELOPING.
WITH VERY HIGH DCAPE VALUES IN PLACE OVER THE AREA...ANY STORMS THAT
FORM WILL HAVE THE POTENTIAL FOR STRONG TO EVEN SVR DOWNBURST WINDS.
THAT SAID...WITH RELATIVELY LOW SHEAR VALUES...ANY SVR STORMS SHUD
REMAIN ISOLATED WITH LITTLE ORGANIZATION. STILL EXPECT BETTER
COVERAGE LATER WHEN MCS ACTIVITY APPROACHES...SO NO CHANGES TO LATER
POP. OTHERWISE...UPDATES FOR CURRENT CONDITIONS.
AS OF 225 PM EDT...WATER VAPOR IMAGERY SHOWS CONVECTION DEVELOPING
ALL AROUND THE RING OF FIRE THAT STRETCHES FROM KANSAS TO IL TO WEST
VIRGINIA AROUND THE STRONG CENTRAL CONUS RIDGE. LITTLE TO NO UPPER
LEVEL TRIGGERING HAS BEEN PRESENT IN OUR FORECAST AREA...AND IT MAY
TAKE A RUN FROM AN UPSTREAM MCS SEGMENT TO PRODUCE MUCH COVERAGE.
THE AMPLIFYING UPPER RIDGE IS COOPERATING IN THIS REGARD BY TURNING
DEEP LAYER STEERING FLOW MORE NWLY TO NRLY WITH TIME. IN ADDITION...
DECENT HEATING ALONG AND SOUTH OF THE INTERSTATE 40 CORRIDOR...ALONG
WITH DEWPOINTS PERSISTING IN THE UPPER 60S IN MOST LOCATIONS...HAS
GENERATED SFC BASED CAPE VALUES OF NEARLY 3000 J/KG TO HELP PRIME
THE AREA. THE BEST CONSENSUS OF SOLUTIONS IS AN MCS RUNNING SE FROM
KY TO REACH OUR FORECAST AREA CLOSE TO 00Z AND TRANSITING A PORTION
OF THE REGION N TO S BEFORE DISSIPATING BY AROUND 06Z. WILL THUS
FEATURE HIGH CHANCE TO NEAR LIKELY NRN TIER POPS FOR THE
EVENING...AND DIMINISH SWD...WITH JUST LINGERING WRN NC POPS FOR ANY
ADDITIONAL WEAK OVERNIGHT ACTIVITY IN THE NW STEERING FLOW. EXPECT
SULTRY MINS IN THE UPPER 60S IN THE MTN VALLEYS TO LOWER 70S EAST.
A BACKDOOR FRONTAL BOUNDARY WILL MAKE STEADY PROGRESS IN OUR
DIRECTION FROM THE NE ON SAT...BUT WITH ANY REAL THICKNESS FALLS
DELAYED UNTIL AFTER THE NEAR TERM PERIOD. NRLY FLOW AND MORE CLOUDS
WILL ALLOW MAX TEMPS TO FALL A COUPLE OF DEGREES OR MORE DESPITE THE
CONTINUED WARM LOW LEVEL THICKNESSES. ANOTHER RUN OF ORGANIZED
CONVECTION WILL BE POSSIBLE SAT AFTN AS ACTIVITY MOVES SOUTHEAST
ALONG THE BACKDOOR FRONT. IN ADDITION...PRECIPITABLE WATER WILL POOL
ABOVE 2 INCHES ACROSS THE REGION BY SAT AFTN. HOWEVER...THERE SHOULD
BE ENOUGH NRLY STEERING FLOW TO KEEP THE HEAVIER RAIN ELEMENTS
MOVING. ANY TRAINING OF THUNDERSTORMS WOULD BE THE PRIMARY HYDRO
CONCERN SAT AFTN. LAPSE RATES WILL ACTUALLY BE STEEPER IN SW
SECTIONS...BUT THE COVERAGE MIGHT BE BETTER IN THE NRN TIER CLOSER
TO THE FORCING AND WEAK MCS TRACKS. SHOTGUN PM CHANCES POPS SEEMS
REASONABLE THROUGHOUT.
&&
.SHORT TERM /SATURDAY NIGHT THROUGH MONDAY/...
AS OF 1245 PM FRIDAY...THE INHERITED MAGNITUDE OF THE EXPECTED
COOLDOWN FOR SUNDAY REMAINS ON TRACK WITH THE EXPECTATION OF SFC
RIDGE BUILDING SWWD IN THE CWFA. ACCOMPANYING LLVL EASTERLY FLOW
CONTINUES TO PROMISE UNSETTLED WX...ESPECIALLY ACRS THE MTNS/FTHLS
WHERE THE INSTABILITY WILL BECOME INCREASINGLY CONFINED TO. AN
INFLUX OF DRIER AIR...FROM NE TO SW ACRS THE REGION...IS PROGGED FOR
SUNDAY NIGHT AND PRECIP CHANCES WILL WANE ACCORDINGLY. DEEPER
LAYERED RIDGING AND DRY AIR ATOP THE CWFA SHOULD PROVIDE QUIET WX
CONDITIONS WITH MAX TEMPERATURES SVRL CATEGORIES BELOW CLIMO ON
MONDAY. CLOSER TO THE LLVL RIDGE PERIPHERY...SLIGHT CHANCES FOR
DIURNAL DEEP CONVECTION WILL BE CONFINED TO THE SW NC/N GA MTNS.
&&
.LONG TERM /MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY/...
AS OF 230 PM EDT FRIDAY...LATEST GLOBAL MODELS CONTINUE TO INDICATE
THAT A SURFACE WEDGE OF HIGH UNDERNEATH A PERSISTING UPPER RIDGE OF
HIGH ACROSS THE SOUTHEAST STATES WILL KEEP CONDITIONS RELATIVELY DRY
AND COOL MON NIGHT INTO WED. BY WED NIGHT...THE UPPER PATTERN WILL
FLATTEN OUT AS AN UPPER TROUGH APPROACHES FROM THE CENTRAL CONUS.
THE GFS SUGGESTS THAT THE TROUGH AND AN ASSOCIATED COLD FRONT WILL
PUSH THROUGH THE REGION THU AFTERNOON INTO FRI WHILE THE OLD ECMWF
STALLS OUT THE FRONT JUST TO OUR NORTH. AT ANY RATE...INCREASING
MOIST RETURN FLOW AND MARGINAL BUOYANCY ALOFT ARE SUPPORTIVE OF
LOW END CHANCE FOR CONVECTION DURING THIS PERIOD. TEMPS WILL STAY
3-5 DEGREES BELOW NORMAL ON TUE AND AROUND NORMAL WED THRU FRI.
&&
.AVIATION /03Z SATURDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
AT KCLT...LOOKING LESS LIKELY THAT ANY ADDITIONAL CONVECTION WILL
AFFECT THE AIRFIELD THIS EVENING. NEXT ROUND OF CONVECTION
DISSIPATING AS IT MOVES INTO NC FROM TN/VA. LEFT IN A VCSH FOR THE
EVENING AS THERE ARE A FEW SHRA AHEAD OF THE DYING CONVECTION.
OTHERWISE...EXPECT VFR CONDITIONS OVERNIGHT. LIGHT SWLY WIND THIS
EVENING BECOMES NWLY OVERNIGHT THEN NLY FOR SAT. ANOTHER ROUND OF
SCT CONVECTION POSSIBLE SAT AFTERNOON...SO PROB30 INCLUDED.
ELSEWHERE...SIMILAR TO KCLT...EXCEPT CELL MORE LIKELY TO AFFECT
KHKY...BUT STILL NOT ENUF CHC FOR ANYTHING MORE THAN A VCSH IN THE
TAF FOR NOW. WILL HAVE TO WATCH THE MCS ACROSS KY TO SEE IF IT
AFFECTS KAVL OR KHKY OVERNIGHT. GUIDANCE HAS BEEN OVER FORECASTING
FOG FOR DAYS...BUT WILL KEEP THE TEMPO MVFR AT KAVL WHICH HAS THE
BEST CHC OF ANY RESTRICTIONS. OTHERWISE...VFR EXPECTED THRU THE
PERIOD. WLY WINDS BECOME NLY OVERNIGHT AND REMAIN THERE THRU THE
PERIOD. ANOTHER ROUND OF SCT CONVECTION POSSIBLE SAT AFTERNOON...SO
PROB30 INCLUDED.
OUTLOOK...A BACKDOOR COLD FRONT WILL SAG INTO THE REGION SAT NITE
THROUGH SUN...WITH CHANCES OF RESTRICTIONS INCREASING AT KHKY AND
KAVL THROUGH SUNDAY. A MORE DIURNAL PATTERN OF EARLY MORNING LOW
CLOUDS/FOG AND ISOLD AFTN TSTMS MAY RETURN EARLY NEXT WEEK...WITH
STEADY DRYING.
