.PREVIOUS DISCUSSION...
(ISSUED 823 PM EST MON NOV 21 2005)

SHORT TERM (REST OF TONIGHT)...
UPPER LEVEL LOW CROSSING AREA AS IT ROUNDS BASE OF LONGWAVE
COMPLEX TROUGH. SURFACE SYSTEM ALSO CROSSING AREA AT THIS TIME.
EXPECT THUNDER TO DIMINSH BY LATE EVENING AS CORE OF MID LEVEL
COLD AIR MOVES BY. POPS TO DECREASE FROM SW IN WAKE OF SURFACE
SYSTEM AND RETREATING DEFORMATION ZONE...QUICKLY REPLACED BY NW
FLOW MOUNTAIN POPS. EXPECT SNOW LEVEL TO FALL TO 4000 FEET BY
DAWN...AND MIX R/S DOWN TO 3000 FEET. ALTHOUGH SOUNDINGS NOT
IMPRESSIVELY MOIST AFTER 09Z...WILL NOT TRY TO TIME IN A LULL IN
SNOWSHOWERS AS MORE ACTIVITY EXPECTED EARLY MORNING WITH LAPE
RATES INCREASING. WILL NOT CHANGE POPS AND WEATHER FORECAST
TONIGHT AS PREVIOUS FORECACST HAD SITUATION WELL IN HAND...BUT WILL
DECREASE CLOUDS COVER A BIT MORE AGRESSIVELY TOWARD DAWN PER

PREVIOUS DISCUSSION...
(ISSUED 315 PM EST MON NOV 21 2005)

SHORT TERM (TONIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY)...
STRONG TROUGH WILL CROSS SOUTHEASTERN U.S. TONIGHT AS ASSOCIATED
SURFACE LOW ALONG SOUTHEAST COAST CONTINUES TO DEVELOP AND MOVE
STEADILY TO THE NORTH NORTHEAST.  MAIN WEATHER MAKER FOR TONIGHT
WILL BE SIGNIFICANT DEFORMATION ZONE TO OUR NORTHWEST AND NORTH.
THIS FEATURE CONTAINS STRONG FRONTOGENETICAL FORCING FROM 850 MB
THROUGH 700 MB.  SIGNIFICANT UPWARD MOTION AND DEEP MOISTURE WILL
COMBINE TO CAUSE WIDESPREAD RAIN WITH AMOUNTS POSSIBLY IN EXCESS OF
ONE INCH ACROSS MOUNTAINS INTO NORTHERN PIEDMONT COUNTIES.  ON BACK
SIDE OF PRECIPITATION... COLD AIR WILL SPREAD INTO MOUNTAINS
RESULTING IN A GRADUAL LOWERING OF SNOW LEVEL.  SNOW LEVEL WILL
LOWER TO APPROXIMATELY 4500 FT BY 06Z THEN BETWEEN 3500 AND 400 FT
BY 12Z.  EXPECT AROUND ONE INCH OF SNOW ABOVE 4000 FT BY 12Z.  AT
MOST VALLEY LOCATIONS IN MOUNTAINS... SURFACE TEMPERATURES WILL
REMAIN IN THE MID 30S TUESDAY MORNING.  ACROSS NC PIEDMONT...
UPSTATE SC... AND EXTREME NORTHEAST GEORGIA... TUESDAY MORNING
TEMPERATURES WILL BE BETWEEN 40 AND 45. NORTHWEST WINDS WILL INCREAE
IN SPEED OVERNIGHT BUT GUSTS BY MORNING SHOULD NOT BE MUCH HIGHER
THAN 20 MPH.

AS THE UPPER LOW BEGINS TO FILL AND MOVE AWAY FROM THE REGION
TOMORROW...SNOW EVENT ACROSS THE HIGH MOUNTAINS WILL TRANSITION TO
MORE OF A TRADITIONAL NORTHWEST FLOW SCENARIO. HOWEVER...THERE WILL
BE SOME SYNOPTIC SCALE SUPPORT...AS SW TROUGHS ROTATE THROUGH THE
MEAN LONG WAVE ACROSS THE EASTERN CONUS. H8 FLOW OF 30-35 KTS...A
RATHER DEEP MOISTURE PROFILE...AND EXTREMELY STEEP LAPSE RATES BELOW
800 MB SUGGEST SNOW SHOWERS PRODUCING ACCUMULATING SNOWFALL ARE
LIKELY ALONG THE TN BORDER TOMORROW. HOWEVER...THERMAL PROFILES ARE
NOT IDEAL FOR HEAVY SNOWFALL ACCUMULATION UNTIL LATE TOMORROW
AFTERNOON/EVENING...AT WHICH TIME SYNOPTIC SCALE SUPPORT WILL BE
WANING. WE WILL ISSUE A SNOW ADVISORY FOR LATE TONIGHT THROUGH
TOMORROW NIGHT. EXPECT TOTAL ACCUMULATIONS IN THE 2-3 RANGE...WITH
LOCALLY HEAVIER AMOUNTS IN THE HIGHER ELEVATIONS.

SNOW SHOWERS WILL END ALONG THE TENN BORDER BY EARLY WED MORNING...
AND FLOW ACTUALLY VEERS STRONGLY TO THE SOUTHWEST BY THE
AFTERNOON...IN ADVANCE OF ANOTHER FRONT THAT IS EXPECTED TO CROSS
THE REGION WED NIGHT/EARLY THU.

LONG TERM (WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH MONDAY)...
FROPA EARLY IN THE PERIOD SHOULD BE DRY...ALTHOUGH EXPECT ANOTHER
ROUND OF UPSLOPE SNOW SHOWERS IN THE POST-FRONTAL NORTHWEST FLOW
SNOW SHOWERS THURSDAY INTO THURSDAY NIGHT. THIS EVENT IS NOT
EXPECTED TO BE AS SIGNIFICANT AS THE TUESDAY EVENT. OTHERWISE... DRY
HIGH PRESSURE SHOULD REMAIN RIDGED INTO THE AREA THROUGH MOST OF THE
EXTENDED. THE GFS IS DEVELOPING SOME MOIST UPGLIDE OVER THE SURFACE
RIDGE OVER THE WEEKEND...BUT WILL MAINTAIN A DRY FORECAST ATTM.

AVIATION...
IFR CONDITIONS WILL PREDOMINATE DURING THE EVENING AND INTO TONIGHT.  LOW
CLOUDS AND WIDESPREAD PRECIPITATION WILL ACCOMPANY PASSAGE OF STRONG
TROUGH AND DEFORMATION ZONE. HEAVIER CONVECTIVE RAINFALL WILL
ACCOMPANY DEFORMATION ZONE WHERE FRONTOGENETICAL FORCING APPEARS TO
BE RATHER STRONG.  THIS FEATURE WILL CROSS AREA FROM WEST TO EAST
BETWEEN 00Z AND 06Z RESULTING IN MVFR CONDITIONS AT MOST TERMINALS
AFTER 09Z.  RAIN WILL BECOME MIXED WITH SNOW VICINITY AVL BETWEEN
06Z AND 12Z.
