AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE GREENVILLE-SPARTANBURG SC
933 AM EST MON DEC 13 2010

.SYNOPSIS...
COLD CANADIAN HIGH PRESSURE WILL CONTINUE BUILDING ACROSS THE REGION
TODAY RESULTING IN BELOW NORMAL TEMPERATURES PERSISTING THROUGH THE
MIDDLE OF THE WEEK. A MOIST AREA OF LOW PRESSURE WILL APPROACH THE
AREA FROM THE SOUTHWEST THURSDAY AND MOVE EAST BY FRIDAY.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...
WIND AND MTN SNOW ARE THE MAIN CONCERNS FOR THE NEAR TERM...AS AN
EXTREMELY DEEP TROUGH CONTINUES TO PROGRESS OVER THE EASTERN
STATES...AND SURFACE LOW PRESSURE DEEPENS OVER THE NORTHEAST. RADAR
REPRESENTATION OF SNOW OVER THE SOUTHERN APPALACHIANS IS NOT VERY
IMPRESSIVE THIS MORNING. HOWEVER...SPOTTER REPORTS FROM THE HIGHER
ELEVATIONS ALONG THE TENN BORDER INDICATE SNOW IS FALLING HEAVILY
ATTM. WITH STRONG NW FLOW CONTINUING THROUGH THE DAY...AND VERY COLD
TEMPS PERSISTING IN THE MOIST LAYER...PERIODS OF HEAVY SNOW WILL
LIKELY CONTINUE...AT LEAST UNTIL THE MID-LEVEL SW TROUGH PASSES EAST
OF THE REGION LATER THIS AFTERNOON. SNOW/LIQUID RATIOS WILL LIKELY
BE OUTLANDISH AS WELL IN LIGHT OF THE COLD TEMPS...PROBABLY AT LEAST
25-1. THEREFORE...ADDITIONAL WARNING LEVEL ACCUMS OF 3-6 INCHES WILL
BE LIKELY TODAY ACROSS THE HIGHER ELEVATIONS ALONG THE TENN BORDER.
STEEP LOW LEVEL LAPSE RATES/SYNOPTIC SUPPORT SHOULD ALSO RESULT IN
SOME LIGHT ACCUMS WELL EAST OF THE USUAL NW FLOW AREAS...ESP IN THE
HIGHER ELEVATIONS. THEREFORE...FEEL THAT THE WSW PRODUCTS ARE
WELL-PLACED ATTM.

AS FAR AS THE WIND CONCERNS...GUSTS HAVE BEEN PICKING UP ACROSS THE
MTNS WITH INCREASED INSOLATION. MORNING SOUNDINGS LAUNCHED NEAR
SWANNANOA BY UNCA ATMOS SCIENCES DEPT INDICATE A VERY DEEP MIXED
LAYER (UP TO 750 MB) ABOVE A WEAK SURFACE-BASED INVERSION. THIS IS
QUITE A BIT HIGHER THAN FORECAST BY THE 06Z MODELS. AM THEREFORE
BEGINNING TO THINK WIND MAY BE MORE OF AN ISSUE THAN PREVIOUSLY
EXPECTED. DURING COMBINED WIND/SNOW EVENTS...POLICY DICTATES THAT WE
CHOOSE THE GREATER THREAT AND ISSUE A SINGLE PRODUCT (NPW OR WSW)
BASED UPON THE LARGER THREAT. WHILE I STILL BELIEVE SNOW WILL BE THE
LARGER CONCERN ACROSS THE TENN BORDER COUNTIES...IT BECOMES LESS
CLEAR WHETHER WIND OR SNOW IS THE GREATER THREAT IN THE INTERIOR NC
MTN COUNTIES. SINCE A WSW IS ALREADY IN EFFECT FOR THESE AREAS...WE
ARE OPTING TO AVOID NPW ISSUANCE AND INSTEAD ENHANCE THE WIND
WORDING IN THE WSW. FOR NC MOUNTAIN AREAS OUTSIDE OF A WSW...A HIGH
WIND WARNING WILL BE ISSUED. A NEW WIND ADVISORY WILL ALSO BE ISSUED
FOR LOCATIONS IN THE IMMEDIATE LEE OF THE MTNS.

TONIGHT...THE NW FLOW SNOW MACHINE SLOWLY TAPERS OFF AS MOISTURE
DECREASES FROM SW TO NE ACROSS THE MTNS. WILL KEEP THE WINTER WX
PRODUCTS AS IS SINCE SNOW WILL BE CONTINUING. HOWEVER...ADDITIONAL
SNOW AMOUNTS WILL RANGE FROM A DUSTING TO 3 INCHES AT THE HIGHER
ELEVATIONS. WINDS AND WIND CHILL VALUES WILL REMAIN A CONCERN AS
WELL. WILL LEAVE THE WIND PRODUCTS IN PLACE AND ISSUE A WIND CHILL
ADV FOR THE NC MTNS NOT COVERED BY A WINTER PRODUCT AND THE LOWER
ELEVATIONS OF THE NRN FOOTHILLS. ALTHOUGH VERY COLD...WIND CHILL
VALUES ELSEWHERE SHOULD REMAIN ABOVE ADV. LOWS WELL BELOW NORMAL.

&&

.SHORT TERM /TUESDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/...
AS OF 245 AM MONDAY...A WEAK LOW PRES SYS IS EXPECTED TO AFFECT OUR
WX WED-THU...WITH A (HOPEFULLY) JUST NUISANCE WINTER PRECIP EVENT
FOR MOST..IF NOT THE ENTIRE...FORECAST AREA (CWA).

TUESDAY...THE LARGE CYCLONE OVR THE NERN CONUS/SERN CANADA WILL LIFT
FAR ENUF NORTH TO ALLOW FOR A QUASI-ZONAL FLOW ACRS THE CONUS.
MEANWHILE...AN ARCTIC AIR MASS SETTLES INTO THE AREA...WITH
CONTINUED LLVL NWLY CAA FLOW CONTINUING. THE FLOW AND MOISTURE ALONG
THE TN/NC BORDER WILL BEGIN TO WANE DURING THE DAY. SO ANY SNOW SHWR
ACTIVITY WILL TAPER OFF BY EVE. OVERALL...TEMPS WILL REMAIN IN THE
TEENS AND 20S IN THE MTNS AND STRUGGLE TO REACH THE MID-UPR 30S ACRS
THE PIEDMONT...DESPITE SUNNY SKIES.

TUES NGT AND WED...THE SFC HIGH WEAKENS OVER THE CENTRAL
APPALACHIANS...AS A WEAK LOW PRES WAVE BEGINS TO EJECT EAST OFF THE
CO/NM ROCKIES. MEANWHILE...MODELS IN AGREEMENT ON MID-HIGH MOISTURE
STREAMING ACRS THE AREA WITHIN STRONG ZONAL UPR JET. FCST SNDGS
INDICATE THAT CLOUDS MAY BE THICK ENUF TO SUPPRESS OVRNGT LOWS
SOMEWHAT. EVEN SO...WED WILL START OUT IN THE TEENS TO LWR 20S.
CLOUDS THICKEN DURING THE DAY ON WED...AS LLVL FLOW BACKS TO WSWLY
AND TRANSPORTS GULF MOISTURE AND ISENTROPIC UPGLIDE INTENSIFIES.
MODELS IN GOOD AGREEMENT ON LIFT AND MOISTURE...SO HAVE GONE ON THE
EARLY SIDE OF GUIDANCE FOR POPS CREEPING IN FROM THE WEST WED AFTN.
WITH OVERCAST SKIES AND THICKNESSES STARTING OUT QUITE LOW...TEMPS
WILL PROBABLY STAY MAINLY IN THE 30S. ANY PRECIP THAT REACHES THE
GROUND BEFORE SUNSET WILL LIKELY BE SNOW...BASED ON SUCH DRY BL AIR
AND TEMPS ARND FREEZING.

WED NGT AND THU...THE WEAK SFC LOW WILL QUICKLY TRACK ACRS THE SRN
PLAINS AND INTO THE TN VLY...WITH A WARM FRONTAL BAND OF PRECIP
DEVELOPS WELL NORTH AND EAST OF THE LOW. GIVEN THE DECENT AGREEMENT
OF THE MODELS ON QPF AND FCST SNDG PROFILES...TOOK A BLEND OF THE
NAM AND GFS USING THE TOP-DOWN APPROACH TO GET P-TYPE AS
ISENTROPIC-UPGLIDE PRECIP BREAKS OUT ACRS THE AREA OVRNGT. THE MAIN
FORCING MECHANISM WILL BE WAA...WITH UPR WAVE QUITE WEAK.
THO...THERE IS A HINT IN BOTH THE NAM AND GFS OF A FRONTOGENETICAL
BAND DEVELOPING PARALLEL THE NW-SE TEMP GRADIENT SOMEWHERE INVOF THE
CWA. THEY DISAGREE ON INTENSITY AND PLACEMENT...SO DEFINITELY I AM
NOT GOING WITH ANY HIGH QPF ATTM. WITH THAT SAID...A MIXED BAG OF
LGT PRECIP IS EXPECTED ACRS LIKELY THE ENTIRE CWA. SNOW...MIXING
WITH SLEET AND FREEZING RAIN...THEN TRANSITIONING TO ALL FREEZING
RAIN IS THE CURRENT FCST. BUT THIS STORY WILL LIKELY CHANGE ON
SUBSEQUENT SHIFTS. FOR NOW...A WINTER WX ADV EVENT OF LGT WINTRY
ACCUM IS EXPECTED. THE 00Z GFS AND ECMWF ARE TRENDING STRONGER WITH
IN SITU CAD ON THU...WITH CONTINUED LGT QPF THRU THE DAY. FOR
NOW...JUST BLENDED THE 00Z GFS GUIDANCE FOR TEMP/POP TREND FOR THU.
WITH THAT SAID...TEMPS ACRS THE NC VLYS...FOOTHILLS AND NW PIEDMONT
MAY BE TOO WARM ON THU...AND P-TYPE MAY NOT COMPLETELY TURN OVER TO
RAIN. THE REST OF THE CWA IS EXPECTED TO WARM UP ENUF FOR ALL LIQUID
BY THU AFTN. WILL MENTION THIS EVENT IMPACTS IN THE HWO.

&&

.LONG TERM /THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY/...
AS OF 240 AM MONDAY...UPPER LEVEL CONVERGENCE INCREASES ACROSS THE
OH VALLEY INTO THE MID ATLANTIC FRI. THIS WILL HELP BUILD A CANADIAN
SFC HIGH EAST AND REDUCE POPS SIGNIFICANTLY WITH THE WEAKENING LOW
MOVING OFF THE COAST. MODELS HAVE DIFFERENT IDEAS WITH THE
TRANSLATION OF THE UPSTREAM ULVL PATTERN AND CONSEQUENTLY THE
TREATMENT OF THE INVERTED GOM TROF. THE GFS IS THE MOST AGGRESSIVE
IN DEEPENING AND THE LOW OFF THE SC/NC COAST LATE SAT AND SUN DUE TO
IT/S STRONGER MAINTENANCE OF A -NAO BLOCK. THE ECMWF IS MORE
PROGRESSIVE WITH THE PATTERN AND LEAVES MUCH UNCERTAINTY FOR THE
WEEKEND SENSIBLE WX.

THE WEAK CAD IS RATHER WELL AGREED UPON FOR FRI AND SAT...SO THE
LLVL THERMAL STRUCTURE WOULD SUPPORT A WINTRY MIX IF IN FACT
ISENTROPIC LIFT IS MOIST ENOUGH. THE GOING FCST HAS THINGS WELL IN
HAND WITH LOWERING CHANCE POPS AND A LOW END NW FLOW OR BACKSIDE
-SNSH CONTINUING THROUGH FRI. THEN DRY AND A LITTLE WARMER
CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED THROUGH SAT. BY SAT NIGHT...IF THE OFFSHORE
LOW SCENARIO PANS OUT...THE CWFA SHOULD EXPECT A MIX OF LIGHT
IP/FZRA/SN OR RA. HOWEVER...CONSIDERING THE LARGE SYNOPTIC AND
HEMISPHERIC MODEL DISPARITIES BY THAT TIME...THE MOSTLY DRY POPS ARE
VERY REASONABLE.

&&

.AVIATION /15Z MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/...
AT KCLT...GENERALLY LIGHT W WIND BECOMES NW AND GUSTY BY MID MORNING
AS MIXING BEGINS. WAVE CLOUDS WILL BRING HIGH AND OCCASIONALLY MID
CIGS THRU THE DAY. GUSTS DIMINISH THIS EVENING WITH GENERALLY LIGHT
WNW WINDS OVERNIGHT. CLOUDS WILL DECREASE AS WELL.

AT KAVL...STRONG NW FLOW WILL CONTINUE TO BLOW LOW CLOUDS UP THE
FRENCH BROAD VALLEY WHILE ANY SIGNIFICANT SNOW SHOWERS REMAIN NORTH
OF THE AIR FIELD. LOW VFR CIGS SHUD BECOME MVFR BY MID MORNING WITH
INCREASING WINDS AND GUSTS. THE STRONG WINDS CONTINUE THRU THE
AFTERNOON AS CIGS RETURN TO LOW VFR. SKIES CLEAR OVERNIGHT WITH
DIMINISHING WINDS...BUT GUSTS CONTINUE ALL NITE.

ELSEWHERE...WHERE WINDS ARE LIGHT THIS MORNING...SPEEDS AND GUSTS
WILL INCREASE WITH MIXING WITH DIRECTION BECOMING WNW. WHERE GUSTS
ARE OCCURRING...THEY WILL JUST INCREASE WITH MIXING. WAVE CLOUDS
WILL BRING HIGH AND OCCASIONALLY MID CIGS THRU THE DAY. GUSTS
