AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE GREENVILLE-SPARTANBURG SC
642 PM EST THU JAN 10 2008

.SYNOPSIS...
A COLD FRONT...ASSOCIATED WITH A LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM MOVING OUT OF
THE CENTRAL PLAINS...WILL CROSS THE WESTERN CAROLINAS AND NORTHEAST
GEORGIA THROUGH FRIDAY MORNING. WEAK HIGH PRESSURE WILL BUILD IN
ACROSS THE REGION BEHIND THE FRONT...BEFORE ANOTHER LOW PRESSURE
SYSTEM DEVELOPS OVER THE NORTHERN GULF AND TRACKS NORTHEASTWARD
ALONG THE EAST COAST THROUGH SUNDAY NIGHT.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM FRIDAY MORNING/...
THE TMB CURRENTLY LIES SOMEWHERE IN THE VICINITY OF THE SOUTHERN
CWFA BORDER. THE TEMPERATURE GRADIENT ACROSS THE BOUNDARY IS QUITE
IMPRESSIVE...ESP CONSIDERING THE NON-CLASSICAL NATURE OF THE COLD
AIR DAMMING. UZA IS CURRENTLY REPORTING 47/45...WHILE CAE IS 74/61.
DESPITE THE VERY WARM/MOIST AIRMASS SOUTH OF THE BOUNDARY...LATEST
SPC MESOANALYSIS INDICATES ONLY WEAK DESTABILIZATION OCCURRING
ACROSS THE MIDLANDS ATTM. STILL EXPECT THE BOUNDARY TO BEGIN A SLOW
NORTHWARD PROGRESSION OVER THE NEXT FEW HOURS...AS SURFACE LOW
INTENSIFIES OVER THE MIDWEST. STRONG/PERHAPS SEVERE CONVECTION
REMAINS POSSIBLE ALONG AND SOUTH OF THE BOUNDARY THIS EVENING.

LOW LEVEL JET WILL CRANK UP AHEAD OF THE COLD FRONT THIS EVENING...
WITH THE NAM AND GFS DEPICTING 50-60 KTS AT H8. I/M ON THE FENCE
ATTM WITH REGARD TO MAINTAINING THE CURRENT LWA FOR THE MTNS...OR
UPGRADING TO A WIND ADVISORY. WIND ADVISORY CRITERIA WILL LIKELY BE
MET ON THE PEAKS AND RIDGETOPS...BUT THESE WINDS WILL PROBABLY NOT
BE WIDESPREAD ENOUGH TO WARRANT AN ADVISORY. THE ONE CAVEAT IS THAT
CONVECTIVE ELEMENTS WITHIN THE COLD FRONTAL BAND MAY MIX STRONG
WINDS TO THE SURFACE LATER TONIGHT. I/LL PROBABLY OPT TO STICK WITH
THE LWA ATTM...AND PASS ALONG CONCERNS TO THE NEXT SHIFT.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 AM FRIDAY MORNING THROUGH SUNDAY/...
AS OF 230 PM EST THURSDAY...MORNING POPS WILL BE CARRIED WITH THE
FROPA EARLY FRIDAY...OTHERWISE THE REGION WILL RAPIDLY DRY OUT
THROUGH THE DAY. SOME WESTERLY UPSLOPE FLOW MOISTURE...AND LINGERING
HIGH CLOUDS...SHOULD BE THE ONLY SKY COVER THROUGH LATE DAY. THE
REGION WILL REMAIN BETWEEN SYSTEMS THROUGH SATURDAY...WITH
TEMPERATURES RUNNING SEVERAL CATEGORIES ABOVE NORMAL VALUES FOR THIS
TIME OF YEAR.

MODEL CONSENSUS SHOWS THE NEXT TROUGH DIGGING THROUGH THE SRN PLAINS
ON SATURDAY AND INTO THE LOWER MS VALLEY SATURDAY NIGHT. RUN TO RUN
CONSISTENCY HAS BEEN POOR...BUT THE GFS APPEARS TO BE TRENDING
CLOSER TO THE ECMWF THE PAST COUPLE OF RUNS. THE TROUGH SHOULD REACH
NEUTRAL TILT ACROSS THE DEEP SOUTH ON SUNDAY...WITH THE GFS NOW MORE
AMPLIFIED THAN THE OTHER MODELS. THE GFS/ECM/NAM ALL REMAIN FAIRLY
PROGRESSIVE WITH THE WAVE...AND THE ECM PROVIDES A MIDDLE OF THE
ROAD SOLUTION ON THE SFC LOW DEVELOPMENT THAT IS BETWEEN THE
FASTER/WEAKER NAM AND DEEPER/SLOWER GFS. ANY PRECIPITATION NORTH AND
WEST OF THE DEVELOPING COASTAL LOW WOULD IMPACT THE AREA MAINLY
DURING THE DAYTIME SUNDAY. THE GFS REMAINS THE COLDEST WITH THE MORE
WRAPPED UP SOLUTION...AND LEANING TOWARD THE ECM PLACES THE 850 MB
ZERO ISOTHERM JUST EAST OF THE BLUE RIDGE LATE SUNDAY. TO REFLECT
THE UNCERTAINTY IN THE FORECAST...WILL FEATURE RAIN/SNOW CHANCES
THROUGHOUT THE MTNS AND INTO THE ADJACENT FOOTHILLS ON SUNDAY.

&&

.LONG TERM /SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY/...
AS OF 230 PM EST THURSDAY...THE COASTAL LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM SHOULD
PULL STEADILY NE AWAY FROM THE FORECAST AREA SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH
MONDAY AS THICKNESSES FALL FROM THE NORTHWEST. NW FLOW MOISTURE WILL
PICK UP DURING THIS TIME...AND ADDITIONAL LIGHT SNOW ACCUMS COULD BE
WRUNG OUT ACROSS THE HIGH TERRAIN. UPSLOPE FLOW MOISTURE SHOULD DRY
UP BRIEFLY BY MONDAY AFTERNOON.

A CLIPPER TYPE SYSTEM IS THEN EXPECTED TO CROSS THE AREA ON
TUESDAY...WITH DEEPER MOISTURE GENERALLY LIMITED TO THE NRN TIER OF
THE FORECAST AREA. TEMPERATURES ARE EXPECTED TO REMAIN COLD ENOUGH
TO SUPPORT ADDITIONAL SNOW SHOWERS WITH THE PASSING WAVE.

FLAT RIDGING SHOULD THEN DOMINATE ON WED...WITH ADDITIONAL HIGH
AMPLIFICATION OF A WRN/CNTRL CONUS TROUGH EXPECTED LATE IN THE WEEK.
RETURN FLOW MOISTURE FROM THE GULF MAY REACH THE FORECAST AREA AHEAD
OF THIS SYSTEM ON THURSDAY...BUT TEMPERATURES WILL LIKELY WARM
SUFFICIENTLY TO SUPPORT RAIN.

&&

.AVIATION /00Z FRIDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...
IFR CONDS LIKELY TO CONTINUE INTO THE LATE EVENING HOURS AS THE FA
REMAINS WITHIN WEDGE. THE APPROACH OF STRENGTHENING LLVL JET IS
EXPECTED TO CAUSE A WIND SHIFT TO SOUTH AND SOME DEGREE OF
IMPROVEMENT IN CIGS AND PREDOMINATE VSBY INTO THE OVERNIGHT HOURS.
MODERATELY FORCED FRONTAL BAND TO CROSS THE TERMINAL LOCATIONS
BEGINNING AROUND 06 UTC AT KAVL AND 09 UTC AT KCLT...ACCOMPANIED BY
GUSTY WINDS AND EMBEDDED THUNDER. A QUICK WIND SHIFT TO SW AND
IMPROVEMENT TO VFR EXPECTED TO COMMENCE AROUND OR SHORTLY AFTER
SUNRISE WITH MOSTLY CLEAR AND NOMINAL WESTERLY WINDS ON TAP FOR
THE AFTERNOON.

AVIATION OUTLOOK...ANOTHER STORM SYSTEM WILL BRING A THREAT OF
PRECIPITATION TO THE AREA ON SUNDAY...PARTICULARLY FOR AREAS
ALONG/EAST OF THE I-85 CORRIDOR.
