AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE GREENVILLE-SPARTANBURG SC
242 PM EDT SAT SEP 6 2014
.SYNOPSIS...
SCATTERED TO NUMEROUS SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS REMAIN IN THE
FORECAST THROUGH THE WEEKEND AS AFTERNOON HEATING COMBINES WITH
ABUNDANT MOISTURE. A COLD FRONT WILL DROP SOUTH THROUGH THE AREA
SUNDAY...THEN A HIGH PRESSURE WEDGE PATTERN WILL BUILD IN LATE
SUNDAY INTO MONDAY AND WILL GRADUALLY BREAK DOWN THROUGH MID WEEK.
&&
.NEAR TERM /THROUGH SUNDAY/...
AT 200 PM EDT SATURDAY...A LOW AMPLITUDE UPPER TROUGH WILL REMAIN
OVER THE SOUTHERN APPALACHIANS THROUGH SUNDAY. A WEAK SHORTWAVE WILL
MOVE THROUGH THE BASE OF THIS TROUGH THIS AFTERNOON...FOLLOWED BY
ANOTHER ON SUNDAY AFTERNOON. A MOIST AXIS REMAINS OVER THE
MOUNTAINS...AND THIS HAS BEEN THE MAIN FOCUS FOR CONVECTION SO FAR
TODAY...ALTHOUGH SOME CONVECTION HAS MOVED EAST INTO THE NC
FOOTHILLS. A COLD FRONT WILL APPROACH FROM THE NW THIS EVENING...
CROSSING MUCH OF WESTERN NC BY DAWN...AND NE GA AND UPSTATE SC BY
SUNDAY EVENING. INSTABILITY ONLY DECREASES ONLY SLOWLY OVERNIGHT...
SO A SMALL CHANCE OF CONVECTION WILL REMAIN. INSTABILITY RAMPS UP
AGAIN BY MIDDAY SUNDAY...EVEN ABOVE AND BEHIND THE BOUNDARY.
WEAK STEERING FLOW THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING WILL RESULT IN LOW
MOVING STORMS AND LOCALLY HEAVY RAINFALL. BEHIND THE FRONTAL
PASSAGE...STEERING FLOW IMPROVES LESSENING POTENTIAL FOR HEAVY RAIN.
ENOUGH DRY AIR ALOFT WILL BE PRESENT THIS AFTERNOON AND
EVENING...AND ON SUNDAY...FOR EVAPORATIVE COOLING TO SUPPORT
DOWNDRAFT AND HAIL PRODUCTION. LOW TEMPERATURES TONIGHT WILL RUN
ABOVE NORMAL IN THE MOIST AIR MASS AHEAD OF THE FRONT. HIGH
TEMPERATURES ON SUNDAY WILL RUN NEAR NORMAL.
&&
.SHORT TERM /SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY/...
AS OF 230 PM SATURDAY...A FAST-MOVING VORT MAX WILL CROSS THE OHIO
VALLEY SUNDAY NIGHT AND BEGIN TO LIFT INTO THE NRN MID ATLANTIC ON
MONDAY. THE OP MODELS ALL SHOW THE BEST FORCING PRIMARILY TO OUR
NORTH AND EAST OVERNIGHT SUNDAY NIGHT...BUT WITH SOME Q-VECTOR
CONVERGENCE ACRS THE AREA. IN THE LLVLS...A FRONTAL WAVE IS EXPECTED
TO DEVELOP INVOF SRN SC...WITH INCREASING SELY TO ELY 850 MB FLOW
DEVELOPING OFF THE ATLANTIC INTO WRN NC UP TO 20-25 KTS. THE
COMBINATION OF MOISTURE/LLVL FLOW AND UPR SUPPORT WILL KEEP PRECIP
CHCS THRU THE OVERNIGHT...PRIMARILY ACRS THE I-77 CORRIDOR. ALONG
AND WEST OF I-26 IS MORE UNCERTAIN...AS NELY FLOW AROUND THE LLVL
CIRCULATION WILL BE A DOWNGLIDE FLOW WITH EVEN SOME DOWNSLOPE ACRS
THE SW NC MTNS AND NE GA. I WILL FCST MID-HIGH END CHC POP...EXCEPT
LIKELY POP ALONG AND EAST OF I-77. I STILL EXPECT THE HEAVIER RAIN
TO REMAIN EAST ALONG THE STALLED FRONT. LOWS WILL BE NEAR NORMAL.
MONDAY...NELY LLVL FLOW WILL DEVELOP ACRS THE AREA...AS THE FRONTAL
WAVE DRIFTS EAST OFF THE CAROLINA COAST. A HYBRID WEDGE IS EXPECTED
TO LINGER...AS A 1026 MB SFC HIGH WILL BE OVER NEW ENGLAND. MODELS
AGREE ON PLENTY OF MOISTURE LINGERING...BUT I DON/T SEE MUCH
TRIGGERING OR SUPPORT FOR PRECIP. THE SW AND CENTRAL NC MTNS LOOK TO
DEVELOP SOME CAPE...AS THEY WILL BE OUTSIDE THE WEDGE. SO I HAVE THE
HIGHEST POPS THERE...WITH A LOW-END CHC POP ACRS THE PIEDMONT. TEMPS
SHUD BE AT LEAST 2-3 CATEGORIES BELOW NORMAL WITHIN LINGERING CLOUDS
AND NE FLOW.
MONDAY NIGHT AND TUESDAY...UPPER RIDGING RETURNS WITHIN QUASI-ZONAL
FLOW. THERE IS SOME REBOUND IN LLVL THICKNESSES...AS HIGH PRES
SLIDES EAST OF NEW ENGLAND...AND A LOW PRES SYSTEM GETS A BIT BETTER
ORGANIZED NEAR THE VA COAST. SO I EXPECT MORE SUNSHINE ACRS THE AREA
AND TEMPS BACK CLOSER TO NORMAL. A LITTLE MORE INSTBY SHUD RESULT IN
AT LEAST A SLGT CHC TO LOW-END CHC OF SHWRS AND TSTMS TUESDAY AFTN.
&&
.LONG TERM /TUESDAY NIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY/...
AS OF 210 PM EDT SATURDAY...THIS PERIOD BEGINS WITH NEARLY ZONAL
WEST TO EAST 500MB FLOW WITH A DIP IN THE JET STREAM BECOMING
VISIBLE OVER THE NORTHERN ROCKIES. THIS DIP IN THE JET STREAM WILL
PROGRESS EAST FOR THE REST OF THE WEEK WITH MOST OF THE ENERGY
STAYING NORTH OF OUR AREA. AT THE SURFACE...LOW PRESSURE WILL SPIN
UP OVER EASTERN COLORADO TUESDAY NIGHT AND RAPIDLY MOVE NE TO THE
GREAT LAKES WEDNESDAY NIGHT. THE ASSOCIATED COLD FRONT WILL BE
CROSSING THE TENNESSEE AND OHIO RIVER VALLEYS ON THURSDAY. THE COLD
FRONT WILL CROSS OUR REGION ON FRIDAY BRINGING A SLIGHT TASTE OF
FALL.
LOW PRESSURE IS FORECAST TO BE OVER THE OUTER BANKS OF NC TUESDAY
NIGHT AS THE SYSTEM CONTINUES TO SLOWLY MOVE NE. THE COMBINED
AFFECTS OF THE DEPARTING CAD HIGH PRESSURE LEAVING EAST FROM NEW
ENGLAND ON WED AND THE COUNTERCLOCKWISE FLOW AROUND THIS DEPARTING
LOW WILL CREATE A STABLE AND SOMEWHAT COOL AIRMASS OVER THE
CAROLINAS. SLIGHTLY WARMER AND SLIGHTLY MORE UNSTABLE OVER THE SW NC
MTNS AND NE GA WED BEING LESS UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF THOSE
STABILIZING SYSTEMS. THE MODELS ARE NOW SHOWING THE BEST LOW LEVEL
FLOW OUT OF THE GULF TO BE WED NIGHT AND EARLY THURS THEN THAT FLOW
SHIFTS TO THE WEST AHEAD OF THE APPROACHING COLD FRONT. THE GREATEST
INSTABILITY IN THE EXTENDED PERIOD WILL BE THURSDAY AFTERNOON WITH
CAPES FROM 1000 TO 1300 FROM 18Z THURS TO 00Z FRI. WIND SHEER WILL
BE RATHER LOW WITH 925MB WIND WSW AT AROUND 5KTS AND 700MB WIND
WESTERLY AT 10 TO 15KTS. WITH THE GOOD PREFRONTAL LIFT AND
INSTABILITY EXPECTING GOOD COVERAGE LATE THURS MAINLY IN THE MTNS.
WPC HAS THE FRONT FROM AUGUSTA TO COLUMBIA TO RALEIGH AT 12Z
FRI...BUT THE LATEST GFS STILL HAS 1300 CAPE JUST EAST AND SOUTH OF
CLT AT 18Z FRI. THEREFORE...DEPENDING ON THE SPEED OF THE FRONT WE
MAY OR MAY NOT STILL HAVE SIGNIFICANT CONVECTION GENERALLY SOUTH OF
CLT FOR A TIME ON FRI. THE FRONT SHOULD BE MOVING WELL OFF THE
CAROLINA COAST BY SAT MORNING AND DRYING OUT OVER THE WEEKEND. THE
ECMWF HAS A BETTER DEFINED SECONDARY COLD FRONT AND DELAYING THE
CLEARING BEHIND THE FRONT AND COOLING ATMOSPHERE. LOW PRESSURES WILL
BE MOVING NE ALONG THE COLD FRONT AS THE FRONT SLOWS DOWN
PROGRESSING OFF THE CAROLINA COAST AND FLORIDA.
TEMPS WILL BE NEAR NORMAL WED...A CATEGORY ABOVE NORMAL THURS...THEN
DROPPING BELOW NORMAL THURS THE WEEKEND.
&&
.AVIATION /19Z SATURDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/...
AT KCLT...MVFR CIGS ARE EXPECTED TO LIFT TO LOW END VFR THIS
AFTERNOON...WHILE CONVECTIVE CHANCES INCREASE WITH AFTERNOON
HEATING. GUIDANCE GENERALLY KEEPS WINDS LIGHT FROM THE NE INTO THIS
EVENING IN ADVANCE OF AN APPROACHING COLD FRONT...BUT CURRENT S
WINDS MAY PERSIST THIS AFTERNOON. AT LEAST A SMALL CHANCE OF
CONVECTION WILL PERSIST OVERNIGHT AHEAD OF A FRONT. FRONTAL PASSAGE
IS EXPECTED AFTER MIDNIGHT...WITH NE WINDS INCREASING SLIGHTLY. A
GUIDANCE CONSENSUS IS NOT SUPPORTIVE OF DAYBREAK FOG...BUT MODEL
TIME HEIGHTS SUGGEST AN MVFR CIG AROUND DAYBREAK. CONVECTIVE CHANCES
PERSIST TO THE NORTH OF THE SLOWING FRONT ON SUNDAY MORNING AS
ELEVATED INSTABILITY REMAINS.
ELSEWHERE...CIGS HAVE BEEN SLOW TO LIFT SO FAR TODAY...BUT SHOULD
REACH LOW VFR THIS AFTERNOON. AFTERNOON CONVECTION SHOULD INCREASE
WITH HEARING...ESPECIALLY IN THE MOUNTAINS NEAR KAVL. GUIDANCE
FAVORS LIGHT NE WINDS THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING...EXCEPT AT KAVL
WHERE THEY WILL BE CHANNELED FROM THE N. AS A COLD FRONT MOVES
THROUGH OVERNIGHT...N TO NE WINDS WILL INCREASE SLIGHTLY. GUIDANCE
DOES NOT FAVOR FOG IN THE FOOTHILLS...BUT HAS A DIRE VSBY
RESTRICTION AT KAVL AROUND DAWN. FOR NOW IFR VSBY WILL BE CARRIED
UNTIL CONFIDENCE IMPROVES. MODE TIME HEIGHTS SUGGEST AT LEAST MVFR
CIGS AT DAYBREAK IN THE FOOTHILLS...AND MODEL GUIDANCE SUPPORTS
ANOTHER ROUND OF LIFR CIGS IN THE MOUNTAIN VALLEYS. AFTER DAWN CIGS
MAY BE SLOW TO IMPROVE TO LOW VFR IN THE FOOTHILLS...AND MVFR KAVL.
CONVECTIVE CHANCES REMAIN SUNDAY MORNING AS ELEVATED INSTABILITY
PERSIST ABOVE THE FRONTAL BOUNDARY.
OUTLOOK...MOIST EASTERLY FLOW WILL LIKELY PRODUCE LOW CLOUDS AND
RESTRICTIONS ACROSS THE TERMINAL FORECAST AREA THROUGH AT LEAST
MONDAY. GRADUAL DRYING IS THEN EXPECTED THROUGH MID WEEK...BUT WITH
MOUNTAIN VALLEY MORNING RESTRICTIONS LIKELY EACH DAY.
