Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Greenville-Spartanburg SC 227 PM EDT Tue Jun 10 2025 .SYNOPSIS... Mostly dry high pressure controls our weather through Wednesday night. Seasonably hot and humid weather returns late in the week with numerous showers and storms each afternoon and evening. && .NEAR TERM /THROUGH WEDNESDAY/... As of 220 PM Tuesday: A weak boundary was located on the east slopes of the mtns early this afternoon was providing a little bit of focus for storm development. We've managed to develop 1000-2000 J/kg of sfc-based CAPE along and S/E of that boundary. The main concern once again will be severe thunderstorms, with the SPC having expanded the Day 1 Marginal Risk across most of the area along and S/E of I-85. There's a non-zero risk of damaging wind gusts and small hail, with a few of the CAMs developing a multicell or two into a linear feature, which seems reasonable given effective shear of 20-25 kt. Just enough to work with for some organized strong storms. Lapse rates are a bit more favorable but there's not as much dry air aloft, so maybe today would be more of a hail risk. The western Piedmont has maybe 800 J/kg of dCAPE or thereabouts, so if a stronger storm develops there, wind damage would be a higher risk. Temps look ok. The boundary should gradually push off to the southeast this evening as the mid level trof axis moves overhead from the west. That, combined with the loss of daytime heating, should bring an end to the storm threat as it moves out of the fcst area. Some drier air will attempt to move in behind the boundary overnight with a high pressure air mass settling over the OH Valley/central Appalachians by daybreak Wednesday. Can't rule out the mountain valley fog. For Wednesday, not much temperature change, but the humidity should be a bit lower, which will be nice. Closer proximity to lingering moisture to our east may permit a few showers on our eastern border in the afternoon, and an isolated shower over the Balsams would not be a surprise, but most places will stay sunny and rain-free. && .SHORT TERM /WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY/... As of 115 PM Tue: Mid level ridging will be in place across the region for the short term period. This will lead to a typical early summer pattern across the region with scattered showers and thunderstorms expected mainly during the afternoon and evening hours. Highs and lows during this period will be slightly above normal. && .LONG TERM /FRIDAY NIGHT THROUGH MONDAY/... As of 130 PM Tue: The mid level ridging will be gradually suppressed to the south over the weekend into early next week. This will allow a more active storm pattern with a few weak disturbances pushing through the area. Thus, pops will be higher and dewpoints will climb toward 70 outside the mountains during this period. Temperatures will remain slightly above normal for highs, but trend toward about 5 degrees above normal for overnight lows. && .AVIATION /19Z TUESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/... At KCLT and elsewhere: Most places should be VFR for the remainder of the afternoon outside of showers and thunderstorms, which were developing across the mtns and foothills at issuance time. Will include a TEMPO everywhere but HKY and CLT because of the radar trend. Will keep it out of KHKY because buoyancy is lacking, and will put PROB30 at KCLT because of poor continuity in HRRR. Wind will be light SW, but variable and gusty near storm outflows. The clouds should tend to dissipate with the loss of heating around sunset, by which time a weak cold front should push east of the fcst area, but will not be very recognizable because of the light winds. Overnight, the wind should go light/variable and only high clouds will remain. Drier air will move in behind the front for Wednesday, so only some scattered cu can be expected. Wind planned to be light NE with high pressure to our north. Outlook: VFR should continue through Wednesday night. Mainly diurnal thunderstorms return Thursday and will persist each afternoon/evening into the weekend. There will be potential for late night and early morning fog and low stratus restrictions each day. && .GSP WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... GA...None. NC...None.
