Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Greenville-Spartanburg SC
757 PM EDT Sun Jun 8 2025

.SYNOPSIS...
Showers and thunderstorms return late Monday with a quieter pattern
emerging through mid-week. Another round of unsettled weather could
return toward the end of the week and into next weekend.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH MONDAY/...
As of 609 PM: No major changes to the forecast this evening.
Convection has failed to develop, even in the NC Piedmont, where
some of the CAMs continue to depict ongoing showers / thunderstorms
that don`t exist.  Instead...a widespread cu field remains in
place but with little sign of any vertical development.

Otherwise...a fair weather night is expected with a weak high
pressure ridge moving in at the sfc. Mtn valley fog will be
possible. Low temps will be a degree or two above normal. As for
Monday, with the weak high moving overhead and some short-wave
ridging, the balance of the day will be fair with low precip
chances. That changes as we work thru the afternoon and another
wave/MCV rotating around the bottom of the trof across the Southeast
will begin to affect our region. Precip probs increase from the
west into the late afternoon. The main concern there would be
the severe storm potential, what with a Slight Risk on the Day
2 Convective Outlook across parts of the region. At this point,
the buoyancy and shear look more favorable to our south and west,
with the gradient across the Lakelands and along the TN/NC border
into early evening, though some southwesterly advection of shear
and buoyancy are noted. Temps will be warm once again.

.SHORT TERM /MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY NIGHT/...
As of 200 PM EDT Sunday...

Key Messages:

1) Showers and Thunderstorms Return Monday Evening into Early
Tuesday Morning

2) Isolated Showers and Thunderstorms May Develop Tuesday Afternoon
and Early Evening but Confidence is Low

3) Drier Conditions Return Tuesday Evening into Wednesday Night

A cold front will approach out of the west Monday evening into late
Monday night before tracking across the forecast area Tuesday.
This will allow for another round of showers and thunderstorms to
develop ahead of the front Monday evening into Monday night and with
the 12Z CAMs are in fair agreement that widespread convection will
develop, have likely PoPs (60% to 70%) for most locations during
this timeframe. A few strong to severe storms are possible Monday
evening into late Monday night, with damaging wind gusts being the
main threat. However, an isolated,brief tornado cannot be entirely
ruled out but confidence on the tornado threat is low. Drier
conditions will develop from west to east during the early morning
hours Tuesday as activity pushes east. However, a few isolated
showers and thunderstorms may develop directly along the front late
Tuesday afternoon into early Tuesday evening. With low confidence on
this being low, capped PoPs to chance (20% to 25%) on Tuesday. Sfc
high pressure builds in behind the departing front Tuesday evening
and will linger over the forecast area through Wednesday night
allowing dry conditions to return. Cooler highs return on Tuesday,
ending up near normal to just below normal. Highs warm up a few
degrees on Wednesday, becoming near normal to just above normal.
Lows each night will end up a few to several degrees above normal.

&&

.LONG TERM /THURSDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/...
As of 215 PM EDT Sunday...

Key Messages:

1) Dry Conditions May Linger through Thursday

2) Unsettled Weather Returns Friday and Lingers into the Weekend

3) Warm with Above Normal Temps Expected

Sfc high pressure will linger over the area on Thursday but will
slowly retreat northward. How far north the high retreats will
determine how quick moisture will return to the area from the south.
The latest GFS and Canadian keep dry conditions across the CWA
through Thursday while the latest ECMWF shows moisture returning
from the south throughout the day. Thus, capped PoPs to chance (15%
to 25%) for now with models not being in great agreement. Global
mode guidance generally agrees that unsettled weather returns Friday
and lingers through the weekend. Thus, have high-end chance to low-
end likely PoPs (40% to 60%) in place each day. Moisture may linger
each night so capped PoPs to chance (25% to 50%) during the
overnight hours. Highs each day will end up a few degrees above
normal, with lows each night ending up several degrees above normal.

.AVIATION /00Z MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/...
At KCLT and elsewhere: Gusts have abated for the evening,
and all sites have long gone VFR.  Isolated showers over the
northwestern Piedmont aren`t expected to directly impact any of
the TAF sites...although they may linger in the vicinity of HKY
over the next 1-2 hours.  Showers will vanish after sunset, and
generally clear skies and VFR conditions will prevail overnight.
The exception will be the mountain valleys...with KAVL expected
to develop MVFR to IFR fog leading up to daybreak.  This should
scatter out quickly after the sun comes up, however...and give way
to, once again, VFR conditions most of the day.  Isolated showers
and thunderstorms are possible during the afternoon hours Monday,
but coverage appears too low to warrant a mention in the 00z TAFs.
In the final hours of the TAF period, a decaying MCS will approach
from the west Monday night, and coverage should ramp up sharply.
This isn`t captured in the 00z TAFs for the most part, except for
KCLT, where a PROB30 for TSRA has been introduced.

Outlook: Active weather will continue most of Monday night,
with scattered to numerous showers and thunderstorms expected.
This activity will push east by Tuesday morning, giving way to
VFR conditions thereafter.  There will be potential for late night
and early morning fog and low stratus restrictions each day.
