328 AM EST SAT JAN 14 2006

.SHORT TERM (TODAY THROUGH MONDAY)...
500 MB CUTOFF LOW IS SEEN SWIRLING ACROSS ERN KY ON WATER VAPOR
IMAGERY EARLY THIS MORNING. A STRONG VORT LOBE TRAILING THE SYSTEM
WILL CROSS THE MTNS FROM 12Z TO 18Z TODAY...WITH LOW LEVEL FLOW
BECOMING MORE ORTHOGONAL AND INCREASING UPSLOPE LIFT THROUGH THE
DAY. SNOW SHOWERS ARE ALREADY UNDERWAY NEAR THE TN BORDER AND
ACROSS THE SOUTHERN MOUNTAINS WITH MINUS 22 C CLOUD TOPS MOVING
INTO THE HIGH TERRAIN. GIVEN THE ANTICIPATED PATH OF THE UPPER
VORT AND THE ABUNDANCE OF THE LOW LEVEL MOISTURE...ONLY CHANGE TO
CURRENT WINTER PRODUCTS WILL BE TO ADD SOUTHERN JACKSON COUNTY TO
THE SNOW ADVISORY. UPSLOPE MOISTURE SHOULD RAPIDLY DRY UP THROUGH
THE EVENING HOURS...WITH TOTAL ACCUMULATIONS GENERALLY IN THE 2 TO
5 INCH RANGE.

AS THE UPPER SYSTEM EMERGES EAST OF THE APPLACHIANS TODAY...A
VERY TIGHT HEIGHT FIELD GRADIENT WILL SET UP ACROSS THE REGION.
MODEL CONSENSUS IS TO PRODUCE AN INTENSE MID LEVEL JET CORE OF 60
KT AT 850 MB AND 100+ KT AT 500 MB BY LATE DAY. ADD TO THIS THE
STRONG DOWNWARD OMEGA FROM THE COLD ADVECTION...AND THE DOWNWARD
COMPONENT OF THE AGEOSTROPHIC CIRCULATION OF THE MID LEVEL
FRONTOGENESIS MAX...AND DAMAGING WINDS SEEM QUITE LIKELY BY LATE
DAY. DOWNSLOPING FLOW WILL BATTLE COLD ADVECTION TO PRODUCE
RELATIVELY HEALTHY MIXING HEIGHTS...ALLOWING SOME OF THE MOMENTUM
ALOFT TO REACH THE SURFACE OUT INTO THE PIEDMONT. THE BEST
DOWNWARD TRANSPORT SHOULD BE NEAR THE ESCARPMENT...WITH SLIGHTLY
LESS OF A WIND ENERGY TAP FARTHER SOUTHEAST. FOLLOWING
COLLABORATION...WILL EXPAND THE HIGH WIND WARNING TO A TOCCOA TO
GAFFNEY TO TAYLORSVILLE LINE...AND POST A WIND ADVISORY ACROSS THE
REST OF THE AREA.

DRY RIDGING BUILDS IN THROUGH SUNDAY. SOME MID LEVEL MOISTURE IS
EXPECTED TO TOP THE RIDGE AXIS ON MONDAY AHEAD THE NEXT DEVELOPING
PLAINS SYSTEM. LOW LEVELS SHOULD REMAIN FAIRLY DRY HOWEVER.

&&

.LONG TERM (MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY)...
THE NEXT UPSTREAM TROUGH WILL MOVE INTO THE MS RIVER VALLEY ON
TUESDAY...WITH PRECIP CHANCES EDGING UPWARD TUES THROUGH WED. NO
SIGNIFICANT CHANGES ARE NEEDED FOR THE MEDIUM RANGE AT THIS POINT.

&&

.AVIATION...
WIND WILL BE A MAJOR CONCERN AT ALL TERMINALS THIS PERIOD...WITH THE
MAIN PROBLEM AREA BEING KAVL. VALLEY PARALLEL FLOW...STRONG CAA...
AND A 50-60 KT LLJ WILL EQUATE TO VERY STRONG AND OCCASIONALLY
DAMAGING WINDS. FOR NOW...WE WILL ADVERTISE CATEGORIAL GUSTS OF
43KT. HOWEVER...THERE WILL ALMOST CERTAINLY BE OCCASIONAL GUSTS IN
THE 50 TO 55 KT RANGE. ELSEWHERE...SUSTAINED WINDS OF AROUND 20 KTS
WITH GUSTS IN THE 30 TO 35 KT RANGE WILL SUFFICE...BUT AGAIN
OCCASIONAL GUSTS IN THE 40 TO 50 KT RANGE WILL BE LIKELY. OF
SECONDARY CONCERN WILL BE POTENTIAL FOR MVFR CIGS AT KAVL...AS
UPSLOPE CLOUDINESS MAKES ITS WAY UP THE FRENCH BROAD VALLEY. WE WILL
ADVERTISE TEMPOS FOR BKN025 FROM 9 TO 13Z...COINCIDING WITH THE TIME
OF DEEPEST MOISTURE.
