.SHORT TERM (REST OF TONIGHT)...
UPDATING FORECAST FOR TORNADO WATCH 20 IN EFFECT UNTIL 06Z. ALSO
UPDATING FCST TO CHANGE WINTER STORM WATCH HEADLINE OVER PORTIONS
OF THE MTNS TO A SNOW ADVISORY. THE WATCH WAS ISSUED IN ERROR.
HAVE ALREADY SENT OUT AN UPDATED WSW. MAIN CHANGES TO THE ZONES
WILL BE INCLUSION OF SVR WORDING FOR THE WATCH COUNTIES.
&&

.PREVIOUS DISCUSSION...
(ISSUED 247 PM EST FRI JAN 13 2006)

SHORT TERM (TONIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY NIGHT)...
COLD FRONT ACROSS MIDDLE TENNESSEE AT THIS HOUR PROGD TO MAKE
SWIFT PROGRESS ACROSS THE CWFA THIS EVENING. CATEGORICAL POPS
EARLY WITH ASSOCIATED WEAKENING SQUALL LINE ARE PLANNED FOR ALL
ZONES...WITH DOWNSLOPE AND AN ADVERTISED DRY SLOT HELPING ERODE
PRECIPITATION SHIELD FOR NORTHEAST GEORGIA AND THE WESTERN AND
CENTRAL UPSTATE THIS EVENING. WILL CARRY LIKELY POPS FOR THE FIRST
HALF OF THE OVERNIGHT IN THE EASTERN ZONES...WITH CHANCE FOR THE
REST OF THE OVERNIGHT THERE ALTHOUGH MODELS SHIFT THE BACK EDGE OF
FRONTAL PRECIPITATION WELL EAST OF THE FORECAST AREA BY 06Z.

AS UPPER LOW SLIDES BY TO OUR NORTH...OUR WESTERN ZONES SHOULD SEE
SNOW LEVELS DROP STEADILY THIS EVENING AS ASSOCIATED COLD POOL
OVERSPREADS THE REGION. WILL INTRODUCE SCATTERED HIGHER ELEVATION
SNOW SHOWERS BY MIDNIGHT...WITH SNOW SHOWERS BECOMING MORE
WIDESPREAD OVER THE MOUNTAINS LATE WITH TROF AXIS CROSSING THE
MOUNTAINS. ACCUMULATIONS NEAR THE TENNESSEE BORDER COULD APPROACH AN
INCH BY MORNING...ESPECIALLY IN THE FAR WESTERN MOUNTAINS...WHERE
MODEL WINDS ARE PROGD ORTHOGONAL TO THE HIGHER TERRAIN THERE.
WE WILL ALSO FEATURE INCREASINGLY STRONG NORTHWEST WINDS REGIONWIDE
AFTER MIDNIGHT...WITH SUSTAINED WINDS INCREASING TO OVER 20 KTS AT
MOST HIGHER ELEVATION LOCATIONS ADJACENT TO THE TENNESSEE BORDER.

A MAJOR NORTHWEST FLOW SNOW/HIGH WIND EVENT APPEARS READY TO UNFOLD
ALONG THE TENNESSEE BORDER...WITH NAM AND GFS KEEPING ABUNDANT LOW
LEVEL MOISTURE BANKED UP ALONG THE WESTERN FACING SLOPES AS 85H
WINDS INCREASE TO MORE THAN 50 KTS BY 18Z SATURDAY. THERE MAY BE A
DELAY IN GETTING THE NORTHWEST WINDS PERFECTLY ORIENTED INTO THE
NORTHERN MOUNTAINS...BUT THINGS SHOULD BE IN PLACE BY EARLY SATURDAY
AFTERNOON. LENDING CONFIDENCE TO A HEAVY SNOW FORECAST IS A STRONG
LOBE OF BASICALLY CHANNELED VORTICITY THAT WILL IMPACT THE WESTERN
AREAS THROUGH MOST OF THE DAY SATURDAY. AS OF NOW...WILL FORECAST
ACCUMULATIONS IN THE 4 TO 6 INCH RANGE FOR THE ENTIRE TENNESSEE
BORDER REGION...NOT OUT OF THE QUESTION THAT EXTREMELY HIGH
ELEVATIONS COULD SEE MUCH MORE. A HEAVY SNOW WARNING WAS ISSUED
EARLIER ON THIS SHIFT FOR THE TENNESSEE BORDER...AND WILL MAKE NO
CHANGES WITH THIS PACKAGE. SNOW SHOWERS SHOULD ERODE FROM THE SOUTH
SATURDAY EVENING...BUT WE WILL KEEP CHANCE OF SNOW SHOWERS IN THE
NORTHERN MOUNTAINS THROUGH THE SATURDAY OVERNIGHT.

A WINTER STORM WATCH WAS ISSUED ALSO FOR THE CENTRAL MOUNTAINS FROM
SATURDAY MORNING THROUGH SATURDAY NITE. CANNOT RULE OUT SOME OF THE
HEAVIER NORTHWEST FLOW SNOW SHOWERS INVADING THE NORTHERN REACHES OF
BUNCOMBE...JACKSON AND MACON COUNTIES: ALTHOUGH THE POPULATED
CENTERS LIKE ASHEVILLE AND FRANKLIN MAY ONLY SEE A
DUSTING...LOCATIONS TO THE NORTH SUCH AS CULLOWHEE AND WEAVERVILLE
COULD SEE SNOW APPROACH A COUPLE OF INCHES. WILL LET THE MIDNIGHT
SHIFT DECIDE WHETHER THAT THREAT STILL EXISTS WITH THE NEXT ROUND OF
DATA.

COINCIDENT WITH THE STRONGER 85H WINDS: STRONG COLD ADVECTION AND
ENHANCED SUBSIDENCE IN THE WAKE OF THE DEPARTING UPPER LOW. MODEL
MOS WINDS PROJECTED IN THE 20-25 KT RANGE MOST SITES AT SOME POINT
LATE SATURDAY AFTERNOON THROUGH SATURDAY NITE. NAM BRINGS A CORE OF
50 TO 65 KT 85H WINDS OVER EVEN THE FOOTHILLS AND PIEDMONT SATURDAY
AFTERNOON GFS SIMILAR. WITH SKIES CLEARING FOOTHILLS AND PIEDMONT
SATURDAY...MIXING COULD BE MAXIMIZED...ESPECIALLY IN THE SUBSIDING
AIR BEHING THE UPPER LOW. WE HAVE ALREADY PLACED ALL OF OUR
MOUNTAINS IN A HIGH WIND WARNING THROUGH SATURDAY NITE...AND WE
OPTED TO HOIST A HIGH WIND WATCH FOR EVEN OUR FOOTHILLS AND PIEDMONT
DURING THAT PERIOD.

MOUNTAINS MAY SEE ONLY A DEGREE OR TWO TEMPERATURE RISE ON
SATURDAY...WITH FALLING TEMPERATURES LIKELY IN THE AFTERNOON. LEE OF
THE MOUNTAINS...EVEN WITH STRONG DOWNSLOPE...TEMPERATURES WILL
LIKELY REACH NO MORE THAN LOWER 50S SATURDAY. TUMBLING TEMPERATURES
AND STILL HIGH WINDS SATURDAY EVENING OPEN UP THE POSSIBILITY OF
SINGLE DIGIT TO NEAR ZERO WIND CHILLS ACROSS THE HIGHER TERRAIN OF
NORTH CAROLINA SATURDAY EVENING.

LONG TERM (SUNDAY THROUGH FRIDAY)...
SURFACE PRESSURE GRADIENT WILL WEAKEN STEADILY ON SUNDAY AS DEEP
LOW CONTINUES TO MOVE NORTH AWAY FROM THE AREA. NORTHERLY WINDS
WILL BE BREEZY EARLY IN DAY... BUT BECOME LIGHT BY AFTERNOON.
HIGH PRESSURE OVER SOUTHEASTERN STATES WILL PRODUCE A SUNNY DAY
BUT MOISTURE WILL INCREASE SOMEWHAT BY EARLY MONDAY AS GULF OPENS
UP WITH INCREASING SOUTHERLY FLOW BETWEEN DEPARTING HIGH TO THE
EAST AND DEVELOPING LOW PRESSURE IN CENTRAL U.S. WARM FRONT
EXTENDING EASTWARD FROM LOW WILL EXTEND THROUGH... OR JUST TO THE
NORTH... OF THE CWA. PRECIPITATION CHANCES WILL NOT INCREASE
SIGNIFICANTLY UNTIL TUESDAY WHEN LOW PRESSURE AND FRONTAL SYSTEM
APPROACHING FROM WEST INTERACT WITH MOIST FLOW FROM THE GULF.
FRONT WILL MOVE INTO MOUNTAINS LATE TUESDAY NIGHT OR EARLY
WEDNESDAY MORNING THEN MOVING EAST OF THE FORECAST AREA WEDNESDAY
AFTERNOON. FOLLOWING FRONTAL PASSAGE... HIGH PRESSURE CENTERED
OVER GULF COAST REGION WILL PRODUCE A DRY MID AND LATE WEEK. AT
THE PRESENT TIME THERMAL STRUCTURE DURING APPROACH AND PASSAGE OF
SURFACE LOW AND FRONT TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY APPEARS TO BE TOO WARM
FOR PRECIPITATION TYPE PROBLEMS. TEMPERATURES DURING MEDIUM RANGE
WILL REMAIN SEVERAL DEGREES ABOVE NORMAL. &&

AVIATION...
SHARP COLD FRONT TO PASS THROUGH THE REGION BY 00Z WITH AN ATTENDANT
BAND OF SHOWERS/THUNDERSTORMS. EXPECT A PERIOD OF ABOUT 3 HOURS OF
SHOWERS/STORMS. MVFR TO OCCASIONALLY IFR CONDITIONS IN EMBBEDED
THUNDERSTORMS WITH COLD FRONT. BEHIND THE FRONT...EXPECT DRY SLOT TO
RAPIDLY DEVELOP IN INCREASING DOWNSLOPE FLOW...SO EXPECT VFR
CONDITIONS TO DEVELOP ALL TAF SITES BY 04Z. WINDS WILL BE GUSTY AT
TIMES OUT OF THE S AND THEN FROM THE SW AFTER 00Z. HOWEVER...MOST
SIGNIFICANT WINDS WILL BE AFTER 15Z ON SAT WHEN DEEP MIXING LAYER
DEVELOPS IN CONJUNCTION WITH STRONG LOW LEVEL JET. THIS WILL RESULT
IN SUSTAINED WINDS IN THE 30 TO 40KT RANGE AT KAVL AND 20 TO 30KT
OTHER TAF SITES. GUSTS COULD EXCEED 50KT ESPECIALLY AT KAVL.
DOWNSLOPE FLOW WILL KEEP ALL AREAS VFR SAT.
