AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE GREENVILLE-SPARTANBURG SC
248 PM EDT MON MAY 26 2014
.SYNOPSIS...
BERMUDA HIGH PRESSURE WILL CONTINUE TO INFLUENCE THE REGION THROUGH
MIDWEEK...RESULTING IN A MORE TYPICAL SUMMERTIME PATTERN...WITH
AFTERNOON SHOWERS AND STORMS EACH DAY. A BACKDOOR COLD FRONT WILL
SAG SOUTHWARD INTO THE FORECAST AREA THURSDAY...AND GRADUALLY SETTLE
SOUTH OF THE AREA INTO THE WEEKEND.
&&
.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TUESDAY/...
AS OF 245 PM...CONVECTION HAS INCREASED IN COVERAGE ACROSS THE SRN
BLUE RIDGE AND WRN NC MTNS...BUT REMAINS ISOLATED NEAR THE NRN BLUE
RIDGE WITH LITTLE CONVECTION ELSEHWERE. LATEST GUIDANCE HAS BACKED
OFF ON EXPECTED COVERAGE ACROSS THE NC SRN PIEDMONT...BUT KEEPS
DECENT SCT COVERAGE ELSEWHERE. THIS IS IN LINE WITH CURRENT RADAR
INDICATIONS...SO HAVE UPDATED POP TO PUT BEST CHC ACROSS THE MTNS
AND WRN UPSTATE/NE GA. A FEW ADDITIONAL CELLS THIS AFTERNOON WILL
LIKELY GO SEVERE GIVEN THE INCREASING DCAPE AND LOW LEVEL LAPSE
RATES...ALONG WITH INCREASING LOW END BULK SHEAR. CONVECTION SHUD
DIMINISH THIS EVENING WITH LOSS OF HEATING...BUT ISOLATED SHRA AND A
FEW TSRA MAY LINGER ACROSS THE MTNS THRU THE NITE. EXPECT ANOTHER
ROUND OF PATCHY DENSE FOG IN THE MTN VALLEYS TOWARD MORNING...
ALTHOUGH INCREASING MID AND HIGH CLOUDS COULD KEEP FOG AT BAY. LOWS
SHUD BE AROUND 5 DEGREES ABOVE NORMAL.
UPPER RIDGE BUILDS OVER THE SERN CONUS TUE. HOWEVER...SHORT WAVE
ENERGY COULD STILL ROTATE INTO THE AREA AROUND AN UPPER LOW
APPROACHING FROM THE WEST. LOW LEVEL MOISTURE REMAINS QUITE HIGH.
THIS ALONG WITH INCREASING LOW LEVEL LAPSE RATES WILL LEAD TO
ANOTHER DAY OF MODERATE INSTABILITY. DCAPE IS NOT FORECAST TO BE AS
HIGH AND SHEAR SHOULD BE SIGNIFICANTLY LESS WITH THE RIDGE BUILDING
IN. THEREFORE...HAVE CONTINUED SCT MAINLY DIURNAL CONVECTION BUT
MORE IN THE WAY OF CLOUDS. EVEN WITH THE CLOUDS...HIGHS WILL BE
AROUND 5 DEGREES ABOVE NORMAL.
&&
.SHORT TERM /TUESDAY NIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY/...
AS OF 2 PM MONDAY...WEDNESDAY AND THURSDAY...SHORT RANGE MODELS
INDICATE THAT A BROAD H5 TROUGH ACROSS THE DEEP SOUTH AND
SOUTHEAST...WITH THE LOW CENTER OVER LA. AT THE SFC...WEAK HIGH
PRESSURE WILL SETTLE OVER NEW ENGLAND...UNDER AREA OF MID LEVEL
CONFLUENCE. THIS HIGH WILL SLOWLY RIDGE SOUTHEAST ACROSS THE
ATLANTIC STATES THROUGH THURSDAY. A WEAK BACK DOOR COLD FRONT IS
EXPECTED SLIP NE TO SW ACROSS THE CWA ON THURSDAY. FORECAST
SOUNDINGS FOR EACH AFTERNOON INDICATE THAT CAPE WILL RANGE IN THE
1500-2000 J/KG...WITH LITTLE TO NO INHIBITION. THE ENVIRONMENT FOR
BOTH WEDNESDAY AND THURSDAY APPEARS RIPE FOR DIURNAL
CONVECTION...ESPECIALLY ACROSS THE MTNS. I WILL FORECAST CHC POPS
ACROSS THE FOOTHILLS AND PIEDMONT WITH LIKELY POPS ACROSS THE
MTNS...THE GREATEST COVERAGE WILL OCCUR THURSDAY. MARGINAL
INSTABILITY AND WEAK FLOW SHOULD SUPPORT GENERAL TSRA. HOWEVER...IT
IS POSSIBLE THAT A COUPLE OF STORMS COULD PRODUCE SVR WIND OR HAIL.
A BLEND OF PREFERRED MOS SUPPORTS HIGHS 3 TO 6 DEGREES ABOVE NORMAL
ON WEDNESDAY...OR LOW 80S WITHIN THE MTNS VALLEYS TO NEAR 90 EAST.
CLOUD COVER AND LIGHT NE WINDS SHOULD KEEP HIGHS A LITTLE LOWER ON
THURSDAY. I WILL FORECAST HIGHS SLIGHTLY ABOVE CLIMO.
&&
.LONG TERM /THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH MONDAY/...
AS OF 100 PM EDT MONDAY...LATEST GLOBAL MODELS CONTINUE TO AGREE
THAT A BROAD UPPER RIDGE OF HIGH WILL COVER MUCH OF THE CENTRAL
CONUS AND SOUTHEAST STATES THU NIGHT INTO FRI WITH AN UPPER LOW
PRESSURE TROUGH ROTATING DOWN ACROSS THE NORTHEAST. THE UPPER LOW
WILL MOVE OFF THE NEW ENGLAND COAST BY SAT...ALLOWING THE UPPER
RIDGE AXIS OVER THE CENTRAL STATES TO SLOWLY SHIFT EASTWARD. BY
SUN...AN UPPER H5 HIGH (+585DM) WILL BUILD ACROSS THE SOUTHEAST AS A
BROAD UPPER TROUGH DEEPENS ACROSS THE WESTERN STATES.
AT THE SURFACE...A STATIONARY FRONT WILL BISECT THE CWA THU NIGHT
AND FRI...BEFORE IT DROPS SOUTH OF THE AREA SAT. HAVE INHERITED
SOLID CHANCE POPS FRI AFTERNOON AS ATMOS WILL BE UNCAPPED WITH CAPE
VALUES REACHING TO AROUND 2000 TO 2500 J/KG ACROSS MUCH OF THE
REGION. SAT NIGHT AND SUNDAY...COOLER HIGH PRESSURE WILL BUILD IN
FROM THE NORTH BRINGING COOLER AND DRIER CONDITIONS TO THE REGION.
MODEL SOUNDING SUGGEST ATMOS WILL BE WEAKLY CAPPED EAST OF THE MTNS.
HENCE...HAVE MENTIONED A SLIGHT CHANCE OF DIURNAL CONVECTION OVER
THE PIEDMONT WITH LOW END CHANCE IN THE MTNS. TEMPERATURES WILL BE
AROUND 2-3 DEGREES ABOVE NORMAL FRI AND SAT WITH NEAR NORMAL ON
SUNDAY.
&&
.AVIATION /19Z MONDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/...
AT KCLT...TSRA CHC LESS HERE THAN OTHER TAF SITES. HOWEVER...
CONVECTION ALLOWING MODELS AND CCFP SHOW POTENTIAL THERE THIS
AFTERNOON. THEREFORE...HAVE GONE WITH A SHORT TEMPO FOR VFR TS FROM
21Z TO 24Z. OTHERWISE...EXPECT SCT CU WITH INCREASING CONVECTIVE
DEBRIS CLOUDS THRU THE AFTERNOON INTO EARLY EVENING WITH SSW WINDS.
WINDS DROP OFF THIS EVENING WITH LINGERING DEBRIS CLOUDS. CANNOT
RULE OUT ANOTHER BRIEF PERIOD OF MVFR CIGS NEAR DAYBREAK...BUT
GUIDANCE IS IN TOO MUCH DISAGREEMENT TO INCLUDE ATTM. SWLY WINDS
DEVELOP THRU THE MORNING TUE. EXPECT ANY CONVECTION TUE WILL BE
AFTER THIS TAF PERIOD.
ELSEWHERE...SIMILAR CONDITIONS TO KCLT...BUT WITH BETTER CHANCE OF
CONVECTION...BUT TRICKY TIMING. THEREFORE...HAVE INCLUDED VCTS AND
WILL AMEND AS NEEDED. ALSO...LOW END GUSTS EXPECTED THIS AFTERNOON
AT THE SC SITES. IFR VSBY AND CIGS LIKELY AGAIN AT KAVL TOWARD
DAYBREAK WHICH BURN OFF BEFORE MID MORNING...WITH MVFR LIKELY AT
KAND/KHKY AND POSSIBLE AT KGSP/KGMU. CONVECTION POSSIBLE BEFORE THE
END OF THE PERIOD AT KAVL/KHKY...BUT SHUD BE AFTER ELSEWHERE.
OUTLOOK...UNSETTLED WEATHER WITH SCATTERED AFTERNOON AND EVENING
THUNDERSTORMS IS EXPECTED DAILY THROUGH THE WEEK. MORNING FOG AND
LOW CLOUDS ARE LIKELY EACH DAY IN THE MOUNTAIN VALLEYS AND AT
FOOTHILL/PIEDMONT LOCATIONS WHERE APPRECIABLE RAIN FELL THE PREVIOUS
DAY.
