Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Greenville-Spartanburg SC
135 PM EDT Thu Jun 9 2022
.SYNOPSIS...
High pressure will briefly be in control of our weather tonight and
Friday. A low pressure system is forecast to approach from the
west late Friday into Saturday providing the opportunity for
scattered showers and storms to the area. Quiet weather is
expected from Sunday through much of the upcoming week with a
heat wave into the middle of the week.
&&
.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...
As of 1230 PM: This update was mainly for aviation. However, did
update PoPs based on the latest radar trends as stray showers are
tracking southeast across northern Greenville and Spartanburg
counties in SC and across eastern Gaston and central Mecklenburg
county in NC.
otherwise, drier air will filter in behind the cold front as it
pushes across the western Carolinas and NE GA, bringing an end to
precip chances for much of the area. One exception to this will be
this afternoon across roughly the southern third of the area, where
some instability is expected before the front completely clears the
area. Enough CAMs and short term guidance respond with spotty deep
convective development to warrant a slight chance PoP this
afternoon. The post frontal air mass will have little affect on
temperatures, and in fact an uptick in thickness values along with
developing downslope flow should yield maxes a degree or two warmer
than yesterday east of the mtns.
Any convection that manages to develop today will dissipate or move
southeast this evening...if not sooner. This will give way to dry
and calm conditions overnight. Despite the warm start to the
evening, the drier air and good radiational cooling conditions are
expected to allow min temps to settle slightly below normal.
&&
.SHORT TERM /FRIDAY THROUGH SATURDAY NIGHT/...
As of 130 AM EDT Thursday: Area of high pressure will set up shop
across the southern and central Appalachians to start the period,
while a frontal boundary remains quasi-stationary south and east of
the CFWA. Meanwhile, a stout shortwave trough will dig into the area
as it swings within the southern peripheral of the longwave trough
that stretches across much of the eastern-third of the CONUS during
this time frame. Weak surface lows will ride along the stalled
boundary as more moisture becomes available within the atmospheric
column. Thus, PoPs will gradually build into the region from west to
east starting later Friday through Saturday afternoon. With upper
jet divergence expected to overlap the rest of the vertical dynamics
settled underneath by Friday night, expect for better coverage in
showers and thunderstorms, with some elevated storms being possible
during the late evening/overnight period. Overall, the severe threat
remains low-end due to the unfavorable timing of the low pressure
system's arrival and with the main warm frontal zone not lifting as
far north into the CFWA as previous model trends were hinting at.
Expect the low pressure system and upper trough axis to exit the
CFWA by Saturday evening as deep layer drying from the WNW filters
in. Post-frontal regime will settle into the area to round out the
forecast period. Temperatures should stay within a few degrees of
climo through the short-term.
&&
.LONG TERM /SUNDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/...
As of 300 AM EDT Thursday: The main weather headline for the
extended will be the heat. Summer will be a full-go by next week
as a strong upper-level ridge propagates eastward from the central
CONUS. A deep ~595 dm anticyclone is forecasted to set up shop
across the Mid/Deep South by early next week and will bring in very
hot and dry weather for the CFWA. Max temperatures will be 10+
degrees above normal for most locations by Tuesday and Wednesday
of next week as heat indices reach into the triple digits with
areas outside of the mountains potentially flirting with Heat
Advisory criteria.
&&
.AVIATION /18Z THURSDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...
At KCLT and elsewhere: VFR conditions expected throughout the 18Z
TAF forecast period as sfc high pressure builds in behind a
departing cold front. This will lead to mostly dry conditions
outside of a few stray showers and thunderstorms this afternoon as
the front continues pushing east. Have VCSH mentioned at KCLT, KGSP,
and KGMU as showers are in the vicinity and are tracking SE. These
should taper off in the next hour or two. Thin upper-level cirrus is
expected to continue over the area this afternoon and early evening.
Scattered low end VFR cu are noted across much of the fcst area as
of 18Z and may increase in coverage, becoming broken at times. These
will dissipate with the loss of daytime heating late afternoon/early
evening. Winds will be NW and breezy with low-end gusts possible
through late afternoon. Winds gradually decrease early evening into
the overnight becoming light and N/NE east of the mtns and remaining
NW'ly across the mtns. Winds become more NE'ly east of the mtns
Friday morning and look to decrease in speed throughout the day.
This will ultimately lead to light and variable winds Friday
afternoon and evening. Winds at KAVL start out NW'ly Friday morning,
turning to the south Friday afternoon. Scattered low-end VFR cu can
be expected again Friday afternoon, mainly across the mountains.
Outlook: Rain chances return Friday night as a wave crosses the
area, after which isolated diurnal convection will be possible
Saturday. Dry weather expected through the first part of next week.
Mountain valley fog will be possible each morning, especially where
rain falls the previous day, and morning stratocu restrictions
may develop as well.
