NWS Forecaster Discussion
211 fxus62 kgsp 181831 afdgsp Area forecast discussion National Weather Service Greenville-Spartanburg SC 231 PM EDT Friday Jul 18 2008 Synopsis... an area of low pressure situated just off the southeast coast is expected to move northeast along the coastline of the Carolinas this weekend. A weak cold front is then expected to move into the region Monday night into Tuesday...stalling out across the Piedmont by the middle of next week. && Near term /through Saturday/... the immediate concern is the band of showers and storms at the outer edge of the circulation around the low pressure developing along the Georgia coast. There remains a tight moisture gradient...thus a tight instability gradient...just ahead of the band. If this does not change...the convection will quickly run out of fuel before it reaches the Charlotte metropolitan area. A slight chance pop will be carried on this fringe of the County Warning Area to handle this possibility through the middle part of the evening...otherwise tonight should be dry with most of the forecast area under weak subsidence. The low temperature forecast was nudged toward the warmer met guidance accordingly. As for Saturday...the models take the low along the coast which brings the moisture gradient and some low level convergence as far west as roughly I-77. The previous forecast had a slight chance over the east and that will be kept as it is in agreement with neighbors. Temperatures were nudged up over most of the area with the expectation that subsidence/downslope would keep US on the warm side of guidance. && Short term /Saturday night through Monday night/... as of 200 PM Friday...sensible weather for Sunday still looks like it will remain limited to just diurnally fired isolated mountain thunderstorms with downslope aided warming and drying across the fthls/Piedmont behind the central Carolinas surface trough. Upper pattern does not change very much into Monday...broadly diffluent northwest flow. Nominal increase in moisture ahead of southward dropping cold front should give rise to a greater threat of afternoon thunderstorms... although both the ec and GFS response is still limited. Will plan on maintaining just a slight chance along with above normal temperatures. && Long term /Tuesday through Thursday/... as of 130 PM Friday...I have made very few changes to the going forecast as it still appears to reflect the updated HPC thinking for the medium range. Again...the European model (ecmwf) has primarily been relied upon for the details of the forecast. Aloft...the eastern Continental U.S. Will maintain some degree of troughing Tuesday through Friday as an upper vortex spins over eastern Canada. At the surface...the main feature for the period will be a frontal boundary that approaches the forecast area on Tuesday...then sags southward across the region through the middle of the week. The 00z/18 European model (ecmwf) depicts the band of deepest moisture along the front clearing the forecast area to the south Wednesday night which seems a little aggressive. Instead...I would favor a solution more like HPC that features the boundary essentially washing out and remaining in the vicinity of the forecast area. Then by Thursday...the boundary looks to begin to lift back north...though remaining across the Carolinas through the end of the week. At any rate...this front should provide a trigger and focusing mechanism for mainly diurnal convection across the forecast area. Therefore...expect scattered afternoon and evening convection across the County Warning Area with some convection continuing into the overnight hours. Warmest temperatures...low 90s Piedmont upper 80s mnts...on Tuesday ahead of the approaching front. The rest of the period looks a few degrees cooler and closer to climatology with increased cloud cover near the front and some slightly cooler air behind it Wednesday through Friday. && Aviation /19z Friday through Wednesday/... the main issue concerning the tafs is what to do about the precipitation band that has developed at the outer edge of the low pressure system off the Georgia coast in terms of how it will affect kclt. Surface observations show a tight gradient of moisture and instability between kclt and the location of the precipitation band...meaning the band will be moving into significantly less favorable air during the afternoon unless the low level environment near kclt is modified. Upstream observations suggest that relatively dry air will continue to be advected over kclt this afternoon. Kclt will probably be in and out of a ceiling around 5k feet this afternoon...but for right now the most likely outcome is for the precipitation band to die out just before it gets to kclt in the late afternoon/early evening. The instability gradient will be monitored for signs of movement and the kclt taf will be amended accordingly if the probability of precipitation improves. Otherwise...VFR conditions will persist through the late night hours...but some MVFR visibility issues can be expected once again at kavl and khky. The low may make its closest approach to kclt on Saturday morning which could push an MVFR ceiling over that site...similar to what was seen closer to the coast this past morning. The MVFR conditions should improve by middle morning. Outlook...early morning fog at kavl will probably result in MVFR conditions Sunday morning and Monday morning. As we remain in this air mass...air quality should get poorer each day leading to an increased chance of MVFR haze at the other taf sites each morning. A front will drop in Tuesday and Wednesday bringing scattered thunderstorms. && Gsp watches/warnings/advisories... Georgia...none. NC...none.
