AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE GREENVILLE-SPARTANBURG SC
205 PM EDT WED AUG 20 2014
.SYNOPSIS...
A BROAD UPPER LEVEL RIDGE OF HIGH PRESSURE WILL BUILD ACROSS THE
MISSISSIPPI RIVER VALLEY OVER THE NEXT FEW DAYS AND LINGER FOR THE
REST OF THE WORK WEEK...RESULTING IN ABOVE NORMAL TEMPERATURES. A
WEAK COLD FRONT WILL THEN PUSH INTO THE AREA FROM NORTHEAST SATURDAY
AND BRING SOME MINOR RELIEF FROM THE HEAT.
&&
.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...
AS OF 155 PM...PERSISTENT SMALL STRONG TO OCCASIONALLY SEVERE
CONVECTIVE CLUSTER CONTINUES TO DROP SOUTHEAST ACROSS THE NC
FOOTHILLS. SCT CONVECTION IS FINALLY BEGINNING TO UNZIP A BIT ALONG
THE OUTFLOW BOUNDARY ALONG THE I-40 CORRIDOR INTO THE NW PIEDMONT.
OTHERWISE...THE LATEST SPC MESOANALYSIS DEPICTS A MINIMUM IN CAPE
ACROSS THE AREA...WITH CAPE EXCEEDING 3000 J/KG JUST TO OUR EAST...
AND MORE THAN 4000 J/KG ACROSS EAST TENN INTO NRN/CTRL GEORGIA. THIS
IS WHERE THE BEST CONVECTIVE COVERAGE IS ONGOING. WE HAVE DELAYED
THE BEST POPS UNTIL LATE IN THE AFTERNOON AND TOWARD EARLY
EVENING...WHEN INSTABILITY SHOULD BE GREATEST AND CHANCES WILL ALSO
INCREASE FOR UPSTREAM ACTIVITY...POSSIBLY ORGANIZING UPSCALE...TO
MOVE INTO THE FORECAST AREA. BRIEF LARGE HAIL AND DAMAGING WINDS
WILL REMAIN POSSIBLE...WITH DOWNBURST POTENTIAL ENHANCED WITH ANY
ORGANIZED CLUSTERS.
AS OF 11 AM...A SMALL CLUSTER OF DEEP CONVECTION IS APPROACHING THE
NORTHERN NC MTNS ATTM...THUS POPS HAVE BEEN INCREASED TO LIKELY IN
THE AREAS NORTH OF I-26 ALONG THE TENN BORDER. THE PREVIOUS REMNANT
CONVECTIVE AREA DISSIPATED AS IT MOVED EAST OF THE MTNS. HOWEVER...
THE ATMOSPHERE IS HEATING STRONGLY DOWNSTREAM OF THE HIGH TERRAIN.
REGIONAL RAOBS PAINTED A RATHER STARK CONTRAST FROM THIS TIME
YESTERDAY...ESP AT KFFC...WHERE A LAYER OF NEAR-DRY ADIABATIC LAPSE
RATES WERE OBSERVED BETWEEN H8 AND H6. AS A RESULT...THE AIRMASS IS
RAPIDLY DESTABILIZING EAST OF THE MTNS...WITH CAPE ALREADY EXCEEDING
1500 J/KG ACROSS THE FOOTHILLS AS OF 14Z. IT APPEARS LIKELY THAT
CAPE WILL INCREASE TO THE NEIGHBORHOOD OF 3000 J/KG THIS AFTERNOON.
CONVECTION IS ALREADY SHOWING SIGNS OF FANNING OUT ALONG THE OUTFLOW
BOUNDARY ACROSS NORTHEAST TENN...AND WITH CAPE INCREASING STRONGLY
DOWNSTREAM...IT SEEMS ENTIRELY PLAUSIBLE THAT SCATTERED CONVECTION
WILL CONTINUE TO DEVELOP ALONG THE BOUNDARY AS IT PUSHES EAST OF THE
MTNS BY EARLY AFTERNOON (THE LATEST HRRR IS SUGGESTING A SIMILAR
SCENARIO). AS SUCH...POPS HAVE BEEN INCREASED BY 10-20 PERCENT IN
MOST AREAS THIS AFTERNOON...WITH 40 POPS NOW BEING FEATURED AS FAR
SOUTHEAST AS THE I-85 CORRIDOR.
POPS HAVE ALSO BEE INCREASED FOR THIS EVENING. AN AXIS OF CAPE >
3000 IS ALREADY BEING ANALYZED ACROSS MIDDLE TENN INTO SE KENTUCKY.
SHORT TERM GUIDANCE ALSO DEPICTS A CORRIDOR OF 20-30KTS OF LOW LEVEL
SHEAR THIS AFTERNOON FROM EASTERN KENTUCKY INTO SOUTHWEST NC. A
CONSENSUS OF MESOSCALE MODEL GUIDANCE WOULD SUGGEST ORGANIZED MCS
DEVELOPMENT IN THESE AREAS BY LATE AFTERNOON...POSSIBLY DROPPING
SOUTHEAST INTO THE FORECAST AREA THIS EVENING. HOW THIS PLAYS OUT
FOR OUR AREA MAY DEPEND LARGELY UPON THIS AFTERNOON/S CONVECTIVE
EVOLUTION...BUT IT SEEMS THE AREA MOST LIKELY TO BE AFFECTED WOULD
BE ACROSS (ROUGHLY) THE NORTHWEST HALF OF THE FORECAST AREA...WHERE
POPS WERE INCREASED TO 40-50 PERCENT THIS EVENING. LOWERING FREEZING
LEVELS AND LARGE DCAPE SHOULD SUPPORT A RISK OF ISOLATED LARGE HAIL
AS WELL AS DAMAGING WINDS...WITH THE POTENTIAL FOR AN ENHANCED
DOWNBURST RISK WITH ANY UPSCALE ORGANIZATION.
1030 UTC UPDATE...POPS HAVE BEEN ADJUSTED PER RADAR TRENDS...WITH A
DECREASE EARLY ON. SKY COVER WAS UPDATED FROM INFRARED SATELLITE
IMAGERY...ALSO RESULTING IN A DECREASE. AREAS OF FOG WERE REDUCED
BASED ON OBSERVATIONS AND DEW POINT DEPRESSIONS.
AT 300 AM EDT TUESDAY...AN UPPER TROUGH WILL AMPLIFY ALONG THE EAST
COAST TODAY...WHILE AN UPPER RIDGE BUILDS NORTH OVER THE MS RIVER
VALLEY. SEVERAL WEAK SHORTWAVES WILL CROSS OUR AREA TODAY AND
TONIGHT IN NW FLOW ALOFT....WHILE A COLD FRONT ADVANCES SLOWLY FORM
THE NE. IT IS UNCLEAR WHETHER THE FRONT WILL MAKE IT VERY FAR INTO
OUR AREA...BUT ITS GENERAL PROXIMITY MAY FOCUS CONVECTION ACROSS OUR
NORTHERN TIER OF COUNTIES. EVEN IF THE FRONT REMAINS OFF TO THE
NORTHEAST...OUR AREA WILL BE IN A MOIST UNSTABLE AIR MASS...AND
PASSING SHORTWAVES WILL PROVIDE SUPPORT FOR CONVECTION. MOISTURE
WILL BE SOMEWHAT LIMITED...AND STEERING FLOW GREAT ENOUGH TO KEEP
CELLS MOVING...LIMITING THE POTENTIAL FOR HEAVY RAINFALL. ROBUST
CAPE WILL BE PRESENT...AND DRY AIR WILL BE AVAILABLE FOR EVAPORATIVE
COOLING...PROVIDING SUPPORT FOR WIND GUSTS AND HAIL. HIGH
TEMPERATURES WILL BE SLIGHTLY ABOVE NORMAL.
SOME ELEVATED INSTABILITY WILL LINGER THROUGH TONIGHT...AND IF ANY
MCS ROUNDING THE CORNER OF THE RIDGE REACHES OUR AREA...IT MAY WELL
SURVIVE. STEERING FLOW AND A LACK OF DEEP MOISTURE WILL LIMIT HEAVY
RAINFALL POTENTIAL. MINIMUM TEMPERATURES WILL RUN ABOVE NORMAL IN A
MOIST AIRMASS.
&&
.SHORT TERM /THURSDAY THROUGH FRIDAY NIGHT/...
AS OF 300 AM WEDNESDAY...A LARGE UPPER RIDGE WILL PERSIST ACRS THE
LWR-MID MS VALLEY...EXTENDING EAST ACRS THE SOUTHEAST STATES THRU
THE SHORT TERM. THE LATEST GUIDANCE SHOWS THAT A RING OF FIRE
PATTERN WILL SET UP...WITH A SERIES OF SHORTWAVES AND ASSOCIATED
CLUSTERS OF CONVECTION WILL RIDE OVER TOP OF THE RIDGE...FROM THE
UPR MIDWEST/SRN GREAT LAKES...TO THE MID ATLANTIC. IT LOOKS LIKE
MOST OF THE ASSOCIATED ACTIVITY WILL STAY NORTH OF THE CWFA.
HOWEVER...THE NRN ZONES (GENERALLY I-40 CORRIDOR AND NORTH)...MAY
GET BRUSHED BY A POSSIBLE MCS AT SOME POINT. NOT MUCH CHANGE WAS
MADE TO THE POPS. STILL EXPECT AT LEAST A HANDFUL OF
DIURNALLY-DRIVEN CONVECTION...AS STEEP MID LVL LAPSE RATES REMAIN
ATOP THE REGION. MODELS ARE TRENDING WARMER FOR THURSDAY AND
FRIDAY...SO I BUMPED UP TEMPS ABOUT A CATEGORY...EVEN MORE IN THE NW
NC PIEDMONT...WHERE WE PREVIOUSLY THOUGHT A BACKDOOR COLD FRONT
WOULD PUSH IN BY FRIDAY. THIS RESULTS IN ABOVE NORMAL TEMPS...WITH
UPR 80S IN THE MTN VALLEYS AND MID-UPR 90S ACRS THE PIEDMONT.
&&
.LONG TERM /SATURDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...
AS OF 1230 PM WEDNESDAY...MEDIUM RANGE MODELS ARE IN DECENT ENUF
AGREEMENT WITH RESPECT TO THE MEAN PATTERN FOR THE FIRST HALF OF THE
EXTENDED PERIOD FEATURING LLVL RIDGING POKING SSW INTO THE CWFA. THE
COMBINATION OF THE LLVL EASTERLY FLOW AND THE HIGHLY AMPLIFIED NLY
FLOW SHOULD RESULT IN ENUF FORCING FOR AT LEAST SCATTERED
SHOWERS...AND MAX TEMPERATURES A FEW DEG F BELOW PERSISTENCE AND A
CATEGORY OR TWO BELOW CLIMO SUNDAY AND MONDAY.
WITH LLVL RIDGING LIKELY TO LINGER THRU TUESDAY...THERE REMAINS ABOVE
NORMAL CONFIDENCE THAT MAXIMUM TEMPERATURES WILL CONTINUE TO AVERAGE
BELOW CLIMO. IT REMAINS TO BE SEEN ON JUST HOW MUCH FORCING IS
AVAILABLE TO TRIGGER SHOWER ACTIVITY...SO JUST A TOKEN SLIGHT AND/OR
SMALL POP WILL REMAIN.
&&
.AVIATION /18Z WEDNESDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...
AT KCLT AND ELSEWHERE...CONVECTION AT THIS MOMENT IS PRIMARILY
LIMITED TO A SMALL/PERSISTENT CLUSTER OF STRONG TO SEVERE CONVECTION
OVER THE SOUTHERN NC FOOTHILLS. THIS WILL NOT THREATEN ANY OF THE
TAF SITES IN THE NEAR TERM. HOWEVER...THERE ARE SIGNS THAT SCATTERED
CONVECTION MAY BE IN THE PROCESS OF /FANNING OUT/ ALONG THE OUTFLOW
BOUNDARY LAID DOWN BY THIS CONVECTION. THEREFORE...TEMPOS FOR TSRA
WILL BE CONTINUED AT KCLT...AND INTRODUCED AT KGSP THROUGH THE
AFTERNOON. THE TEMPO HAS BEEN SCALED BACK TO SHRA AT KHKY AND
COMPLETELY REMOVED AT KAVL...SINCE THE OUTFLOW HAS NOW ESSENTIALLY
PASSED THEM. HOWEVER...ADDITIONAL DEVELOPMENT WILL BE POSSIBLE NEAR
THESE SITES AND ALL OTHER TAF SITES THIS AFTERNOON. CONVECTION MAY
ALSO ORGANIZE ACROSS THE TENN VALLEY THIS AFTERNOON AND PUSH
SOUTHEAST ACROSS THE SOUTHERN APPALACHIANS AND SURROUNDING AREAS
INTO THE EVENING. THEREFORE...A VCTS/VCSH WILL BE CARRIED AT ALL
TERMINALS THROUGH ABOUT 03Z.
EVEN OUR MOST RELIABLE GUIDANCE IS ONCE AGAIN HITTING THE FOG HARD
LATE TONIGHT...AS IT HAS BEEN DOING THE PASTS SEVERAL MORNINGS...
WITH VERY POOR VERIFICATION RESULTS. THEREFORE...WE HAVE IMPROVED
THE VISBY FORECAST CONSIDERABLY OVER WHAT GUIDANCE IS ADVERTISING...
BUT THIS IS STILL RESULTING IN A 3SM FORECAST AT KAVL. OTHERWISE...
VFR CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED THROUGH THE PERIOD OUTSIDE OF SHRA/
TSRA.
OUTLOOK...SCT AFTERNOON CONVECTION AND PATCHY EARLY MORNING FOG WILL
REMAIN IN THE FORECAST THROUGH THE WEEK. THERE WILL ALSO BE AN
OUTSIDE CHANCE FOR REMNANT ORGANIZED CONVECTION APPROACHING THE
AREA FROM THE NW DURING THE LATE NIGHT/EARLY MORNING HOURS.
