AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE GREENVILLE-SPARTANBURG SC
145 PM EDT THU AUG 6 2015
.SYNOPSIS...
A WEAK COLD FRONT WILL BE NEARLY STATIONARY OVER THE TODAY. AS
MOISTURE INCREASES ACROSS OUR REGION TODAY...A LOW WILL DEVELOP AND
GRADUALLY MOVE OFFSHORE BY LATE FRIDAY. WEAK HIGH PRESSURE WILL
SPREAD BACK OVER THE REGION IN THE WAKE OF THE LOW.
&&
.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...
AS OF 1100 AM...CONVECTION IS FIRING QUITE READILY ALREADY LATE THIS
MORNING...AS INCREASING UPPER SUPPORT DEVELOPS AHEAD OF A VIGOROUS
SHORTWAVE. WHILE A SYNOPTIC FRONT WAS ANALYZED JUST TO THE NORTH OF
THE CWFA ALONG THE NC/VA BORDER...THICK MID CLOUDS DRAPED ACRS MOST
OF WRN NC...RESULTING IN A CAD-LIKE ENVIRONMENT THERE AND A
DIABATIC-HEATING BNDRY NEAR THE SC/NC BORDER. SOUTH OF THIS...THERE
IS MORE SUNSHINE CREATING AROUND 2000 J/KG OF SBCAPE. SO I EXPECT
AFTN CONVECTION TO BE MORE ROBUST ACRS THE SOUTHERN HALF OF THE
CWFA. MID LVLS ARE MOISTENING UP AND SHEAR IS STILL ONLY 20-25 KTS.
SO THE SEVERE THREAT STILL LOOKS A BIT LOWER THAN PREVIOUS THOUGHT.
STILL AWAITING AN UPDATED SPC DAY 1 CONVECTIVE OUTLOOK. I HAVE
TWEAKED POPS TO HIGH-LIKELY TO CATEGORICAL...GIVEN THE EXPECTED
COVERAGE OF SHWRS. THERE WILL BE SCATTERED TO NUMEROUS EMBEDDED
TSTMS WITHIN THIS ACTIVITY THIS AFTN.
THIS EVENING...THE STRONGEST FORCING ASSOCIATED WITH THE PASSING MID
LVL SHORTWAVE WILL CROSS THE CWFA. SHEAR WILL ALSO INCREASE...AS
WIND FIELDS IMPROVE WITH THE SHORTWAVE. AT THAT POINT...MOST OF THE
GUIDANCE SHOWS THE BETTER INSTBY OFF TO THE SOUTH AND EAST...WITH
SOME QUASI-ORGANIZATION OF MULTI-CELL CLUSTERS. THE LAST COUPLE HRRR
RUNS DO SHOW ANOTHER ROUND OF DEEP CONVECTION CROSSING THE AREA THIS
EVENING.
AS OF 650 AM...SOME SHRA DEVELOPING ACROSS THE NC FOOTHILLS. WITH
SOME STRONGER CELLS DEVELOPING NEAR THE TN BORDER. THIS IS GENERALLY
ON TRACK WITH TIMING IN CURRENT FCST. STILL EXPECT CONVECTION TO
DEVELOP AND SPREAD ACROSS THE AREA THRU THE MORNING AND INTO THE
AFTERNOON. THICKER CLOUDS ALSO MOVING IN AS WELL. THIS COULD PUT A
DAMPER ON HIGH TEMPS...BUT WILL HOLD OFF ON ANY CHANGES AND WAIT TO
SEE WHAT THE MORNING TRENDS ARE. LITTLE CHANGE NEEDED TO FCST.
AS OF 320 AM...CONVECTION HAS DISSIPATED...BUT THAT CALM WILL NOT
LAST. A STRONG SHORT WAVE WILL MOVE INTO THE AREA LATE THIS
AFTERNOON OR EARLY EVENING AND MOVE ACROSS THE AREA TONIGHT. AN
UPPER JET DIVING TOWARD THE AREA WILL BRING QUITE A BIT OF UPPER
DIVERGENCE AS WELL. ALL THIS WILL PROVIDE PLENTY OF FORCING FOR
CONVECTION TODAY AND TONIGHT. A STALLED FRONTAL BOUNDARY ACROSS THE
AREA AND A SERIES OF WEAK LOW PRESSURE CENTERS MOVING ALONG IT WILL
PROVIDE THE LOW LEVEL FOCUS FOR CONVECTION. THERE WILL BE COPIOUS
LOW LEVEL MOISTURE AND RELATIVELY STEEP MID LEVEL LAPSE RATES FOR
MODERATE INSTABILITY TO DEVELOP. MODERATE SHEAR DEVELOPS AS WELL
WITH THE SHORT WAVE MOVING IN. DCAPE VALUES...WHILE NOT EXCESSIVE
SHOULD RISE ABOVE 500 J/KG. THE ONE FACTOR MISSING FROM THE EQUATION
WILL BE MID LEVEL DRY AIR. STILL...GIVEN ALL THE POSITIVE FACTORS
FOR STRONG TO SEVERE CONVECTION...EXPECT SCT SEVERE STORMS TO
DEVELOP TODAY...ALONG WITH NUMEROUS TO WIDESPREAD CONVECTION.
DAMAGING WINDS WILL BE THE MAIN THREAT...GIVEN THE SHEAR THAT COULD
HELP STORMS ORGANIZE ALONG OUTFLOW BOUNDARIES AND DEVELOPING COLD
POOLS. EXPECT THE CONVECTION TO CONTINUE THRU THE NITE AS FORCING
CONTINUES...BUT SEVERE CHC WILL DIMINISH THRU THE EVENING. EXPECT
SOME MUCH NEEDED RAINFALL ACROSS MOST OF THE AREA...BUT NOT MUCH IN
THE WAY OF EXCESSIVE RAINFALL...UNLESS SOME TRAINING CELLS DEVELOP.
HIGHS TODAY WILL BE SIGNIFICANTLY COOLER THAN WED...BUT STILL
REACHING 90 OR THE LOWER 90S ALONG AND SOUTH OF I-85...WITH LOWER
80S IN THE WARMER MTN VALLEYS. LOWS TONIGHT AGAIN UP TO 5 DEGREES
ABOVE NORMAL.
&&
.SHORT TERM /FRIDAY THROUGH SATURDAY NIGHT/...
AT 230 AM EDT THURSDAY...ON FRIDAY MORNING AN UPPER RIDGE WILL BE
OVER THE WESTERN PLAINS...AND AN UPPER TROUGH OVER THE EASTERN
SEABOARD. BY SATURDAY THE RIDGE AXIS MOVES TO THE EASTERN
PLAINS...AND THE TROUGH AXIS TO THE EAST COAST...WITH SOME INCREASE
IN AMPLITUDE.
AT THE SURFACE...A COLD FRONT ASSOCIATED WITH A ROBUST SHORTWAVE
ALOFT WILL BE CROSSING OUR AREA ON FRIDAY MORNING...WITH THE MODEL
DEPICTING A SURFACE WAVE ALONG THE BOUNDARY. INSTABILITY AND SHEER
WILL BE SUPPORTIVE OF CONVECTION...WHILE MOISTURE WILL SUFFICIENT TO
SUPPORT SUBSTANTIAL PRECIPITATION. THE FRONT MOVES SOUTHEAST AND OUT
OF OUR AREA ON FRIDAY NIGHT...WITH DRIER AIR ARRIVING ON SATURDAY.
TEMPERATURES WILL RUN NEAR NORMAL.
&&
.LONG TERM /SUNDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
AT 230 AM EDT THURSDAY...ON SUNDAY MORNING AN UPPER RIDGE WILL BE
OVER THE PLAINS...AND AN UPPER TROUGH WILL BE ALONG THE EAST COAST.
BY TUESDAY THE TROUGH RETROGRESSES TO THE EASTERN SLOPES OF THE
ROCKIES AND THE TROUGH RETROGRESSES TO THE GREAT LAKES AND SOUTHERN
APPALACHIANS. BY WEDNESDAY THE RIDGE PROGRESSES SLIGHTLY INTO THE
PLAINS...WHILE THE TROUGH STAYS PUT...RESULTING IN GREATER AMPLITUDE.
AT THE SURFACE...A STATIONARY FRONT WILL BE NEAR THE GULF COAST ON
SUNDAY MORNING...WITH RELATIVELY DRY HIGH PRESSURE ALONG THE EASTERN
SEABOARD. A COLD FRONT APPROACHES FROM THE WEST ON MONDAY...PRECEDED
BY INCREASING MOISTURE. THE COLD FRONT CROSSES OUR AREA ON
TUESDAY...REACHING THE CAROLINA COAST BY WEDNESDAY. CONVECTION AND
ASSOCIATED PRECIPITATION CHANCES WILL BE BEST AHEAD OF AND ALONG THE
FRONT. TEMPERATURES WILL RUN NEAR NORMAL.
&&
.AVIATION /18Z THURSDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...
AT KCLT...A CLUSTER OF TSTMS IS CROSSING THE KCLT AREA RIGHT AROUND
18Z TAF TIME. SO WILL CONTINUE WITH PREVAILING TS FOR THE FIRST HOUR
OR SO. AFTER THAT CLUSTER MOVES TO THE EAST...THERE MAY BE A LULL IN
CONVECTION...AS VIS SAT AND RADAR SHOW LITTLE ACTIVITY TO THE WEST
ATTM. BUT THERE WILL BE ANOTHER ROUND LATER THIS AFTN INTO THE
EVENING...AS BETTER MID LVL FORCING WILL COMBINE WITH PLENTY OF
INSTBY ACRS THE AREA. SO WILL TEMPO MORE TS LATER THIS AFTN AND
CONTINUE WITH A PROB30 THIS EVENING. ACTIVITY SHUD GRADUALLY
DIMINISH OVERNIGHT...BUT PLENTY OF MOISTURE WILL LINGER. GUIDANCE IS
TRENDING WITH MVFR OR EVEN IFR STRATUS DEVELOPING WITH PATCHY FOG AS
WELL BEFORE DAYBREAK FRIDAY. SO WILL ADD AN MVFR CIG STARTING AROUND
11Z. THE CLOUDS WILL LIFT BY AROUND NOON. WINDS WILL FAVOR A SW
DIRECTION THRU TONIGHT...THEN SHIFT TO NW LATE FRIDAY MORNING
MORNING OR EARLY AFTN.
ELSEWHERE...A LULL IN CONVECTION AT THE OTHER TAF SITES AT TIME OF
18Z TAF ISSUANCE. BUT MORE ACTIVITY IS DEVELOPING OFF TO THE WEST.
SO EXPECT VCTS AND TEMPO TS AT ALL SITES THIS AFTN. YET ANOTHER
ROUND IS EXPECTED THIS EVENING WITH PASSAGE OF A MID LVL SHORTWAVE.
CONVECTION SHUD GRADUALLY DIMINISH OVERNIGHT...BUT LINGERING
MOISTURE WILL KEEP A CHC OF LOW STRATUS AND FOG AROUND...ESP AT KHKY
AND KAVL. MORE UNCERTAINTY ACRS THE UPSTATE. WINDS WILL FAVOR A SW
DIRECTION THRU TONIGHT...THEN SHIFT TO NW LATE FRIDAY MORNING OR
MIDDAY.
OUTLOOK...SOME DRYING IS EXPECTED LATE FRI INTO THE WEEKEND AS LOW
PRESSURE AND A FRONT MOVE OUT OF THE AREA.
