We will be pretty windy until Friday night after midnight. Then... the winds will start to relax as high pressure builds in. Gusts in that 35 to 45 mph range should be common for a while. Probably 50+ to the north of the Tri-state.

Now up to 1.10. Wind is picking up and the temp feels colder than it actually is.

Tim's Greenville, SC area under a Tornado Watch until 6 PM.

* Primary threats include...

A couple tornadoes possible

Isolated damaging wind gusts to 65 mph possible

Isolated large hail events to 1.5 inches in diameter possible
Hey Eric and just saw that and it looks like there is a tornado near Spartanburg and that is about 40 miles northeast of where the SC house is located . Looks like the Greenville area is a place that stronger storms form off the mountains but are not severe enough until it passes most of the area. This is what I have noticed over the past 2 years. Weather looks great down there early next week and have lots of outdoor things to keep me busy.
Hi Tim,

Sounds like your Greenville is in a great location re the topography and how the elements interact. :thumbupleft:

I found 1 report from SC ...

1940 UNK 2 NW CHAPPELLS NEWBERRY SC 3420 8189 CHAPPELLS FIRE DEPARTMENT REPORTED NUMEROUS TREES DOWN ALONG HWY 39 AND 56 NORTH OF CHAPPELLS. (CAE)

HRRR continues to advertise gust potential for Cincinnati (Hamilton Co) between 40-45mph with isolated higher gusts as is always the case with situations like this. They may add in another row or two of counties at some point this evening as we discussed earlier. Either way it’ll be windy.

Edit: it’s been a breezy afternoon, but winds will really begin to crank up over the next couple of hours. Sooner north of town.

Probably will set my alarm to take the trash cart out to the curb since the Wind Advisory doesn't expire until 5 AM.

Currently 36 here in G'ville and going for around 27 Fri morning.

18Z GFS wants to flood the OV and esp KY thru the end of March. Glad we have a lot of time to watch this unfold. Lot of storminess if correct regardless. :rafting:

Temps continue to drop... 43 now imby. Should be in that 30 to 35 range overnight. Light rain is also pushing back in from the NW thanks to the backside of the low pressure system to our SE. Just one of those crappy nights unfortunately. A cold and windy Friday, but dry in the 40s.

That wind is still roaring out there and will continue to do so today... finally diminishing tonight. Low 30s out there this morning. Highs in the mid to U40s for today. Chilly morning and nice afternoons though this weekend! Nice weather maybe touching 70 early next week. Then things get active again by mid week. So we get a little break before we have to forecast again. :grin: The rest of March continues to look active folks.

12Z GFS brings rain in by mid to late morning on Tues of next week. A break Wed then more rain by Thurs afternoon with the second low riding up the front. Then we get another system to move thru by that next weekend. The pattern looks busy after we enjoy a pleasant weekend into Monday of next week or so.

12Z Euro continues the slower idea versus the GFS. The front tries to push in by Wed of next week but fails thanks to the SE ridge. Only a slight risk for rain at this time. Then the next low comes up the front for a wet Thurs. I still prefer the slower Euro idea at this time.

Hey Les and I am not sold on either solution and give a thumbs down to the Euro this past weekend in regards to rainfall totals locally though the others not much better. That has been an issue in the last 6 months and not sure why but my guess it had a lot to do with a La Nina though it played out more like an El Nino in some respects. Still expecting it to get very stormy over the next 6 weeks at least.

Hey Tim! I won't even begin to forecast rainfall totals yet for next week. I just like the slower timing due to a more robust looking SE ridge. The GFS is usually too fast anyway. That could change naturally. The Euro has bombed badly in the QPF dept without a doubt. No model really did well down our way with the last event QPF wise. Those 1-2" totals were about a hundred miles off LOL We are still on the same page in terms of an active pattern for the next several weeks which is typical for the Spring around here.

No change from the 12Z Euro either. A few light showers Wed with Thursday being the wettest day.

I believe we have one more round of 32 or below. What has happen over the past few weeks is a very strong PV for March. This of course has kept the cold in the arctic regions and they have been below normal in terms of temps. With tons of storminess over the next few weeks I believe one of those systems will be strong enough where we tap some of that really cold air and may be just enough to give us that last round of freezing temps. The southern 2/3rds of Canada has been average or above in terms of temps so this does happen this time of year with a stronger than normal PV.
