AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE GREENVILLE-SPARTANBURG SC
226 PM EST WED DEC 2 2009

.SYNOPSIS...
A LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM WILL MOVE FROM THE OHIO VALLEY TONIGHT TO NEW
ENGLAND ON THURSDAY AS HIGH PRESSURE WITH DRIER AIR MOVES INTO OUR
REGION.  A STRONG UPPER LEVEL SYSTEM AFFECTS THE SOUTHEAST ON
SATURDAY.  BEHIND THIS SYSTEM...HIGH PRESSURE WILL RETURN TO THE
FORECAST AREA AND REMAIN IN PLACE THROUGH EARLY NEXT WEEK.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH THURSDAY/...
WIDESPREAD MODERATE TO HEAVY RAIN WILL CONTINUE THRU THE REST OF THE
AFTERNOON. THE END IS IN SIGHT HOWEVER AS THE BACK EDGE OF THE
PRECIP IS MOVING INTO CENTRAL GA ATTM. THAT SAID...WITH THE ONGOING
FLOODING AND SEVERAL HOURS OF HEAVY RAIN TO GO...WILL KEEP FFA AS IS
SINCE ADDITIONAL FLOODING IS LIKELY. TRIPLE POINT LOW IS MOVING
ALONG A BOUNDARY THAT HAS FORMED NEAR THE SRN CWFA BORDER. SPC HAS
PLACED A TORNADO WATCH THERE...SO WE WILL HAVE TO WATCH THIS AREA
CLOSELY FOR POTENTIAL SEVERE STORMS THIS AFTERNOON AND THE
SOUTHEASTERN CWFA BORDER THIS EVENING. THE STRONG LOW LEVEL WINDS
WILL CONTINUE ACROSS THE AREA OVERNIGHT. HOWEVER...THEY WILL CHANGE
TO A SOUTHWESTERLY DIRECTION AND SHOULD HAVE LESS IMPACT ON THE
SC/GA MTNS AFTER MIDNIGHT. WILL EXTEND THE WIND ADV OVER THE NC MTNS
ALL NIGHT...BUT KEEP THE SC/GA MTNS ENDING AT MIDNIGHT. PRECIP ENDS
FROM SOUTHWEST TO NORTHEAST THIS EVENING AS COLD FRONT MOVES THRU
THE AREA. CLEARING WILL OCCUR OUTSIDE OF THE MTNS AFTER MIDNIGHT AS
WELL. COPIOUS LOW LEVEL MOISTURE REMAINS OVER THE MTNS OVERNIGHT.
ALTHOUGH THE FLOW WILL NOT BE NWLY THERE WILL BE SOME WEAK COLD
ADVECTION AND SYNOPTIC SCALE LIFT AS A SHORT WAVE AND UPPER JET MOVE
THRU. THEREFORE...WILL HAVE SCT TO ISOLATED SHOWERS AFTER MIDNIGHT.
ALTHOUGH THERE IS SOME CAA OVERNIGHT...TEMPS AND PARTIAL THICKNESSES
DO NOT SUPPORT ANY P-TYPE OTHER THAN RAIN.

WEATHER WILL BE MUCH CALMER WEDNESDAY WITH DEEP SWLY FLOW IN THE
WAKE OF THE UPPER LOW THAT CAUSED THE WEATHER TUESDAY. THERE WILL BE
SOME LINGERING MOISTURE OVER THE MTNS AND BREEZY TO WINDY NWLY FLOW
IN THE GRADIENT BETWEEN THE DEPARTING SFC LOW AND HIGH PRESSURE OVER
THE MID WEST. THIS WILL KEEP SCT TO ISOLATED SHOWERS OVER THE NC
MTNS DURING THE MORNING THEN DIMINISHING DURING THE AFTERNOON. TEMPS
AND PARTIAL THICKNESSES FINALLY FALL ENUF TO ALLOW A LITTLE SNOW OR
SLEET TO MIX IN OVER THE HIGHEST ELEVATIONS OF THE SMOKIES. NO
ACCUMULATIONS ARE EXPECTED. OUTSIDE OF THE MTNS CLEARING SKIES AND
DIMINISHING WINDS ARE EXPECTED. HIGHS ABOVE NORMAL OUTSIDE OF THE
MTNS AND BELOW NORMAL OVER THE MTNS.

&&

.SHORT TERM /THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY NIGHT/...
AS OF 230 PM EST WEDNESDAY...AN UPPER TROUGH WILL EXTEND FROM HUDSON
BAY TO TX THURSDAY NIGHT...WITH SOUTHWEST FLOW ALOFT FROM THE GULF
TO NEW ENGLAND. A STRONG SHORTWAVE WILL ROUND THE BASE OF THE TROUGH
ON FRIDAY...THEN WILL MOVE FROM THE GULF TO THE APPALACHIANS ON
SATURDAY.

HIGH PRESSURE WILL BUILD EAST ACROSS THE SOUTHERN APPALACHIANS ON
THURSDAY NIGHT AND FRIDAY. THE MODELS SHOW MODEST LOW LEVEL MOISTURE
LINGERING ALONG THE TN BORDER BEHIND A DEPARTING FRONT...WHILE UPPER
LEVEL MOISTURE INCREASES. A SURFACE LOW WILL MOVE ALONG THIS FRONT
IN THE GULF FRIDAY NIGHT WHILE ANOTHER WAVE DEVELOPS OFF THE
CAROLINA COAST. LOW LEVEL MOISTURE WILL INCREASE FROM THE EAST
FRIDAY NIGHT AND SATURDAY...WITH A WEAK LOW LEVEL UPSLOPE FLOW INTO
THE BLUE RIDGE ESCARPMENT. THE GFS SHOWS WEAK ISENTROPIC UPGLIDE
FRIDAY EVENING ..WITH DOWNGLIDE AND DECREASING MOISTURE BY SATURDAY
AFTERNOON. PARTIAL THICKNESS AND SURFACE TEMPERATURES ARE HIGH
ENOUGH THAT AREAS EAST OF THE MOUNTAINS WILL SEE LIQUID
PRECIPITATION FRIDAY NIGHT AND SATURDAY. PARTIAL THICKNESS FALLS
BELOW CRITICAL THRESHOLDS IN THE MOUNTAINS...STAYING THERE THROUGH
SATURDAY...AND WHERE SNOW WILL BE CARRIED ABOVE 2000 FEET...WITH A
MIX FROM 1500 TO 2000 FEET...BEFORE DRYING OCCURS SATURDAY EVENING.

TEMPERATURES WILL BE A BIT BELOW NORMAL ON FRIDAY...THEN WILL
EXHIBIT A LOW DIURNAL RANGE SATURDAY WITH CLOUDS AND PRECIPITATION.

&&

.LONG TERM /SUNDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
AS OF 230 PM EST WEDNESDAY...THE GFS AND ECMWF ARE IN REASONABLE
AGREEMENT WITH THE LARGE SCALE PATTERN. A LOW AMPLITUDE UPPER TROUGH
WILL BE OVER THE WEST SUNDAY...WITH A FLAT RIDGE OVER THE EAST. BY
MONDAY ZONAL FLOW EXISTS ACROSS THE SOUTHERN TIER OF STATES. ON
TUESDAY THE WESTERN TROUGH AMPLIFIES...WITH SOUTHWEST FLOW OVER THE
SOUTHEAST. THE MODELS DIVERGE LATE TUESDAY AS THE ECMWF TROUGH
PROGRESSES INTO MS VALLEY. HPC NOTED VARIATIONS WITH SHORTWAVE
SYSTEMS...LEADING TO A PREFERRED BLEND OF ECMWF AND GFS AND THEIR
ENSEMBLE MEANS.

SUNDAY WILL FEATURE DRY HIGH PRESSURE OVER THE CENTRAL APPALACHIANS.
     WHICH REACHES THE EASTERN COAST MONDAY...REMAINING THERE ON
TUESDAY. WHILE THE GFS WOULD SUGGEST SOME MOIST UPGLIDE AROUND THE
PERIPHERY OF THIS RIDGE...IT KEEPS OUR AREA DRY. BY WEDNESDAY A
SURFACE WAVE REACHES THE LOWER OH VALLEY...WITH A WARM FRONT MOVING
UP THE EAST COAST. MOIST GULF FLOW LIFTING OVER THIS BOUNDARY WILL
SUPPORT STRATIFORM RAIN TUESDAY NIGHT. AS THE WARM FRONT LIFTS NORTH
WEDNESDAY THE WARM SECTOR ARRIVES...SHOWERS AND PERHAPS ISOLATED
THUNDERSTORMS WILL PRECEDE A COLD FRONT APPROACHING FROM THE WEST.

TEMPERATURES NEAR MID WINTER CLIMATOLOGY PERSIST SUNDAY THROUGH
TUESDAY WITH COOL HIGH PRESSURE TO THE NORTH. CLOUD COVER WILL
MODERATE LOW TEMPERATURES TUESDAY NIGHT. MAXIMUM TEMPERATURES
WEDNESDAY PRESENT A CHALLENGE...AS THE TIMING OF WARM FRONTAL
PASSAGE WILL DICTATE HOW MUCH WARMING OCCURS BEFORE THE COLD FRONT
ARRIVES FROM THE WEST.

&&

.AVIATION /20Z WEDNESDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...
AT KCLT AND ELSEWHERE...WIDESPREAD IFR CIGS AND MVFR TO IFR VSBY
WILL CONTINUE THRU THE AFTERNOON AS PRECIP REMAINS ACROSS THE AREA.
WINDS HAVE TURNED SELY AT KCLT AND WILL REMAIN SO DURING THE
AFTERNOON. NELY WINDS...XCPT SLY AT KAVL...WILL CONTINUE ELSEWHERE.
THE SFC WIND COMBINED WITH STRONG SLY LOW LEVEL JET WILL LEAD TO LOW
LEVEL WIND SHEAR ACROSS THE AREA...AND HAVE CONTINUED THIS THRU THE
AFTERNOON. A COLD FRONT ENTERS THE AREA FROM THE WEST THIS EVENING.
THIS WILL TURN WINDS TO THE SOUTH THEN SW. THIS SHOULD HELP ABATE
ANY WIND SHEAR CONCERNS. PRECIP AND IFR CONDITIONS WILL ALSO END
WITH FRONTAL PASSAGE. THERE COULD BE A PERIOD OF LINGERING MVFR CIGS
UNTIL THE DRY AIR BEHIND THE FRONT MOVES IN. WLY WINDS DEVELOP THU
MORNING...BUT REMAIN GENERALLY 10 KTS OR LESS.

OUTLOOK...VFR EXPECTED FRIDAY...BUT BRIEF MVFR POSSIBLE AT KAVL
AROUND SUNRISE. ANOTHER PERIOD OF MVFR CONDITIONS IS POSSIBLE ON
SATURDAY AS AN UPPER DISTURBANCE MOVES THROUGH...WHICH COULD RESULT
IN SOME LIGHT SNOW OVER THE MTNS.
