A WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY REMAINS IN EFFECT UNTIL 9 PM EST THIS
EVENING. 

PRECIPITATION IS EXPECTED TO OVERSPREAD CENTRAL NORTH CAROLINA
FROM THE SOUTHWEST SHORTLY AFTER NOON TODAY. ALTHOUGH THE
PRECIPITATION MAY BEGIN AS A VERY BRIEF PERIOD OF RAIN... IT IS
EXPECTED TO QUICKLY TRANSITION TO ALL SNOW EARLY THIS AFTERNOON. SNOWFALL
AMOUNTS OF UP TO TWO INCHES ARE POSSIBLE... WITH LESSER AMOUNTS AS
ONE TRAVELS WEST. 

SNOWFALL WILL CONTINUE INTO THE EARLY EVENING HOURS BEFORE ENDING.
NEAR STEADY TEMPERATURES AROUND 40 DEGREES WILL FALL QUICKLY INTO
THE MID 30S ONCE THE PRECIPITATION ARRIVES... AND WILL FALL BELOW
FREEZING AS EVENING APPROACHES. TEMPERATURES ARE EXPECTED TO FALL
TO AROUND 20 DEGREES DAYBREAK SUNDAY.

SNOW IS FORECAST TO ACCUMULATE ON MAINLY GRASSY SURFACES...
AUTOMOBILES... AND ROOFTOPS. A WET... SLUSHY ACCUMULATION MAY ALSO OCCUR
ON ROADWAYS... ESPECIALLY BRIDGES AND OVERPASSES DURING BRIEF
BURSTS OF HEAVIER PRECIPITATION AND AS TEMPERATURES APPROACH THE
FREEZING MARK LATE THIS AFTERNOON. ANY SLUSHY ACCUMULATIONS OR
PUDDLES OF WATER WILL FREEZE SOLID OVERNIGHT. HIGHS SUNDAY ARE NOT
EXPECTED TO WARM MUCH ABOVE FREEZING... WHICH WILL RESULT IN VERY
LITTLE MELTING. THIS MEANS SLICK SPOTS ON THE ROADS WILL REMAIN A
THREAT THROUGH SUNDAY AND EVEN INTO EARLY MONDAY MORNING.

SOME UNCERTAINTY STILL EXISTS WITH THIS EVENT. THE EXACT TRACK OF
THE SURFACE LOW...AVAILABLE MOISTURE AND THE TIMING OF THE COLDER
AIR WILL ULTIMATELY DETERMINE THE SNOWFALL ACCUMULATION POTENTIAL.
A TRACK FURTHER TO THE EAST WOULD MEAN LESS SNOWFALL ACCUMULATION
WHILE A TRACK TO THE WEST WOULD RESULT IN SLIGHTLY HIGHER AMOUNTS.

A WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY MEANS THAT PERIODS OF SNOW WILL CAUSE
TRAVEL DIFFICULTIES. BE PREPARED FOR SLIPPERY ROADS AND LIMITED
VISIBILITIES...AND USE CAUTION WHILE DRIVING.

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE RALEIGH NC
345 PM EST FRI JAN 18 2008

.SYNOPSIS...
WEAK HIGH PRESSURE WILL EXTEND INTO CENTRAL NC FROM THE CENTRAL
APPALACHIANS TONIGHT. LOW PRESSURE WILL DEVELOP OVER THE GULF OF
MEXICO TONIGHT AND MOVE NORTHEAST ALONG THE GEORGIA AND SOUTH
CAROLINA COAST SATURDAY. WIDESPREAD RAIN AND SNOW IS EXPECTED
ACROSS THE AREA SATURDAY. ARCTIC HIGH PRESSURE WILL EXPAND INTO
THE REGION FROM THE WEST BY SUNDAY.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...
AS OF 200 PM FRI...
FOLLOWING A WEAK TROUGH ACROSS THE AREA THIS EVENING...WEAK HIGH
PRESSURE BUILDS ACROSS THE CENTRAL APPALACHIANS TO THE MID ATLC
COAST OVERNIGHT.  LIGHT SW WIND CALMS THIS EVENING THEN BECOMES
LIGHT NE TOWARD DAYBREAK.  WITH THE LAST OF THE LOW STRATUS CLOUD
COVER ERODING ACROSS THE SRN TIER THIS AFTERNOON...SKIES WILL BE
MOSTLY CLEAR THIS EVENING EXCEPT FOR CIRRUS STREAKING NE FROM A
DISTURBANCE IN THE GULF AND STRONG JET LEVEL WINDS ALOFT.  SKIES
BECOME INCREASINGLY CLOUDY AFTER MIDNIGHT...WITH MODELS SHOWING DEEP
SATURATION JUST PRIOR TO DAYBREAK SAT.  CHANCES OF RAIN APPEAR
NEGLIGIBLE UNTIL INCREASING SLIGHT CHANCE OVER THE SOUTHERN HALF
TOWARD DAYBREAK.  LOW TEMPERATURES IN THE LOWER TO MID 30S FOLLOW
CONSENSUS GUIDANCE.  -RFG

&&

.SHORT TERM /SATURDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/...

AS OF 300 PM THIS EVENING...
STRONGLY DYNAMIC SYSTEM CONTINUES TO DIG INTO THE WESTERN GULF OF
MEXICO ...IMPRESSIVE WATER VAPOR LOOP... WITH DEEP SOUTHWEST FLOW
DEVELOPING ACROSS THE SOUTHEASTERN CONUS. PRECIP WILL SPREAD VERY
RAPIDLY UP THE ATLANTIC COAST OVERNIGHT AS THE GULF SYSTEM INTERACTS
WITH A NORTHERN STREAM TROF...INDUCING CYCLOGENESIS. THE ENSUING LOW
WILL MOVE UP THE COAST...PASSING OFF THE NC COAST TOMORROW
AFTERNOON.

EXPECT TO SEE RAIN INTO THE SOUTHERN TIER OF THE CWFA BY SUNRISE...
SPREADING ALL THE WAY TO THE VA BORDER BY LATE MORNING. INITIALLY...
THERMAL PROFILES WILL SUPPORT SNOW...PERHAPS MIXED WITH SOME
RAIN...IN THE FAR NORTHWEST (TRIAD AREA)... AND RAIN ELSEWHERE.

COLD AIR WILL BE EDGING IN FROM THE NORTHWEST AS THE DAY
PROGRESSES...AIDED BY EVAP COOLING. WILL SEE A CHANGEOVER FROM RAIN
TO A MIX OF RAIN AND SNOW ...THEN FINALLY TO ALL SNOW...EASTWARD IN
THE AFTERNOON OVER THE PIEDMONT. ALONG INTERSTATE 95 AND
EASTWARD...CHANGEOVER WILL BE IN THE MID TO LATE AFTERNOON.

PRECIPITATION AXIS LOOKS TO LIE GENERALLY ALONG AND EAST OF
INTERSTATE 95...BUT THIS IS SUBJECT TO ERRORS IN THE TRACK AND
STRENGTH OF THE LOW...WHICH HAS YET TO GEN UP. STRONG DYNAMICS AND
UPPER DIFFLUENCE IN THE ENTRANCE OF A 170KT JET WOULD POINT TOWARDS
ERRORS BEING ON THE LOW SIDE...WITH STRONGER CYCLOGENESIS AND MORE
PRECIPITATION. AT THIS TIME...EXPECT 1 TO 3 INCHES IN THE NORTHWEST
WHICH WILL HAVE PREDOMINANT SNOW...BUT LESSER AMOUNTS DUE TO
DISTANCE FROM THE STORM. SNOW ACROSS THE REMAINDER OF THE PIEDMONT
WILL RANGE FROM 2 TO 4 INCHES IN THE TRIANGLE AREA...WHERE THE SNOW
WILL TAPER OFF AFTER MIDNIGHT. THREE TO FIVE INCHES ARE FORECAST
FOR THE NORTHERN COASTAL PLAIN...ROCKY MOUNT...TARBORO...ROANOKE
RAPIDS AREAS...WHERE SNOW WILL LINGER THROUGHOUT THE NIGHT...ALBEIT
LIGHTER TOWARDS MORNING.

THE CENTRAL AND SOUTHERN COASTAL PLAIN ARE MORE PROBLEMATIC...AS
THEY WILL BE INITIALLY WARMER AND THE RAIN CHANGEOVER TO SNOW WILL
OCCUR LATER IN THE DAY. AT THIS TIME WILL ISSUE A WINTER STORM WATCH
FROM 4 PM THROUGH TOMORROW NIGHT...THERE IS UNCERTAINTY AS TO
EXACTLY WHEN THE CHANGEOVER WILL OCCUR AND HOW MUCH PRECIPITATION
CAN BE EXPECTED AFTERWARD.

WILL ISSUE A WINTER STORM WARNING FOR SNOWFALL OF 3 TO 5 INCHES FROM
ALAMANCE COUNTY AND AREAS  EAST...ACROSS THE NORTHERN
TIER...INCLUDING THE CENTRAL AND NORTHERN PIEDMONT AND NORTHERN
COASTAL PLAIN COUNTIES.

ELSEWHERE ACROSS THE FORECAST AREA...A WINTER STORM ADVISORY WILL BE
ISSUED FOR SNOWFALL ACCUMULATIONS OF 1 TO 3 INCHES...BEGINNING AS
EARLY AS THE MORNING HOURS IN THE TRIAD...AND AS LATE AS THE EVENING
HOURS IN THE SOUTHERN COASTAL PLAIN AND SANDHILLS. SEE RDUWSWRAH FOR
FULL DETAILS.

SLOWER TIMING OF THE NAM WITH NEGATIVELY TILTING VORTMAX SWINGING
ACROSS THE AREA COMBINED WITH STRONG COLD HORIZONTAL AND VERTICAL
THERMAL ADVECTION...RESULTS IN RE-GENERATION OF MOISTURE IN
DENDRITIC GROWTH ZONE...BELOW 700 MB. ADDITIONALLY THE NAM SHOWS
STRONG MID FRONTOGENETIC FORCING...WITH THE POTENTIAL FOR SLANTWISE
CONVECTIVE BURSTS OF SNOW OR FLURRIES AS SYSTEM EXITS THE AREA. THUS
WILL WILL INTRODUCE A SLIGHT CHANCE OF SNOW OR FLURRIES SUNDAY
MORNING ACROSS THE NORTHERN COASTAL PLAIN THROUGH 15Z.

HIGH TEMPERATURES SUNDAY WILL GREATLY DEPEND ON PENDING SNOW
COVER...AS FULL SUN THICKNESSES WOULD SUPPORT HIGHS IN THE LOWER 30S
NORTH TO MID 30S SOUTH.

&&

.LONG TERM /SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY/...
AS OF 300 PM THURSDAY...
SUNDAY NIGHT...LOOK FOR COLDEST NIGHT DURING THIS ARCTIC OUTBREAK TO
OCCUR SUNDAY NIGHT/MONDAY MORNING...WITH MODEL CONSENSUS INDICATING
OPTIMAL RADIATIONAL CONDITIONS AS THE STRONG 1039 TO 1042 MB SURFACE
HIGH BUILDS DIRECTLY OVER THE AREA......BEFORE PUSHING OFFSHORE
DURING THE DAY ON MONDAY. MINS SUNDAY NIGHT WILL PLUNGE EASILY INTO
THE LOWER TO MID TEENS...OR EVEN COLDER...WITH THE POTENTIAL FOR
RESIDUAL SNOW COVER. OBVIOUSLY...BLACK ICE WILL ONCE AGAIN POSE A
MAJOR THREAT ACROSS ALL OF CENTRAL NC AS ANY SNOW MELT OR RESIDUAL
MOISTURE ON ROADS WILL FORM A THIN GLAZE OF ICE. WILL HIGHLIGHT THE
THREAT IN THE HAZARDOUS WEATHER OUTLOOK.

THEN THE MODERATION OF THE FRIGID CONDITIONS BEGIN DURING THE DAY ON
MONDAY AS SWLY LOW-LEVEL WAA DEVELOPS IN RESPONSE TO HIGH PRESSURE
MOVING OFFSHORE AND RISING HEIGHTS ALOFT. HIGHS IN THE UPPER 30S
NW TO MID 40S SE.

TUESDAY THROUGH FRIDAY...LOW PREDICTABILITY INVOLVING SHORTWAVE WAVE
IMPULSES IN A PROGRESSIVE ZONAL FLOW RESULTS IN LOW CONFIDENCE
FORECAST OF RAIN CHANCES AND MOISTURE AVAILABILITY THROUGH THE
PERIOD. WILL KEEP SLIGHT CHANCE POPS IN FOR TUESDAY THROUGH
WEDNESDAY WITH NORTHERN STREAM CLIPPER PASSES THROUGH THE GREAT
LAKES. BEST CHANCE FOR RAIN LOOKS TO BE TOWARDS THE END OF THE WEEK

.AVIATION /19Z FRIDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
AS OF 1245 PM FRIDAY...LOW STRATUS CLOUD DECK IS ERODING FROM THE
NE ACROSS CENTRAL NC WITH KINT AND KFAY LIKELY TO BE LAST TO IMPROVE
TO VFR 19Z-20Z.  VFR CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED LATER THIS AFTERNOON
THROUGH EARLY TONIGHT.  OVERNIGHT...A WEAK PRESSURE PATTERN AND
NEARLY CALM WIND WILL FAVOR AREAS OF LIGHT FOG.  INCREASING HIGHER
CLOUDINESS SHOULD LIMIT STRONG RADIATIONAL COOLING AND LIMIT FOG
DENSITY TO MVFR VSBY...MAINLY AFTER MIDNIGHT.

TOWARD DAYBREAK SAT...DEVELOPING STRONG LOW PRESSURE OVER THE GULF
OF MEXICO IS EXPECTED TO TRACK NORTHEAST.  THE AIR SHOULD BECOME
DEEPLY SATURATED TO THE NORTH OF THE LOW INTO CENTRAL NC AROUND
DAYBREAK AND STRONG UPPER LEVEL DYNAMICS ARE EXPECTED TO GENERATE
LARGE SCALE LIFT TO PRODUCE PCPN OVER THE AREA. MODELS DEPICT A
THERMAL STRUCTURE THAT FAVORS PCPN STARTING AS A RAIN-SNOW MIX NW
AND RAIN SE SHORTLY AFTER DAYBREAK...AND GRADUALLY TURN TO MORE SNOW
DURING THE COURSE OF THE EVENT SATURDAY.  VFR AND MVFR CONDITIONS
EARLY SHOULD DETERIORATE TO IFR AND LIFR SAT MORNING AND CONTINUE
INTO SAT EVENING.

HIGH PRESSURE WITH AN ARCTIC AIRMASS WILL ARRIVE LATE SAT NIGHT TO
IMPROVE CONDITIONS TO VFR BY DAYBREAK SUN. VERY COLD AIR IS EXPECTED
FOR LATE SAT NIGHT-MON NIGHT.  OTHERWISE THE DRY AIRMASS SHOULD
MAINTAIN VFR CONDITIONS.

FOR TUE...MOIST SWLY FLOW AND INCREASING MOISTURE MAY LEAD TO
LOWERING STRATOCUMULUS CLOUD BASES AND POSSIBLE MVFR CONDITIONS WITH
SCATTERED SHOWERS.

ANOTHER AREA OF HIGH PRESSURE SHOULD PRODUCE MAINLY VFR WEATHER TUE
NIGHT AND WED.  -RFG
