EARLY IN THE EVENING IN THE LEE. THE LAKE WIND ADVISORY WILL STAY IN
EFFECT UNTIL MID EVENING...ALTHOUGH INDICATIONS ARE THAT IT MAY NEED
TO BE CANCELLED EAST OF THE MOUNTAINS A FEW HOURS EARLIER.
SUNDAY WILL FEATURE INCREASING CIRRUS FROM THE SOUTHWEST LATE IN THE
DAY AS A SURFACE WAVE CROSSES THE NORTHWEST GULF OF MEXICO. MAXIMUM
TEMPERATURES WILL 10 TO 15 DEGREES BELOW NORMAL.
&&
.SHORT TERM /SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY/...
AS OF 330 PM SATURDAY...CONFIDENCE STILL INCREASING GRADUALLY THAT
WE WILL HAVE A WINTER PRECIP EVENT ACROSS THE WESTERN CAROLINAS AND
NORTHEAST GEORGIA BEGINNING SUNDAY NIGHT. A CONSENSUS OF THE MODEL
GUIDANCE SHOWS A DAMPENING SHORT WAVE APPROACHING FROM THE WEST
SUNDAY EVENING...SUPPORTING A WEAKENING SURFACE LOW MOVING ALONG THE
GULF COAST SUNDAY NIGHT. WHAT MAKES THIS STORM DIFFICULT TO FORECAST
IS THAT WE DO NOT REALLY HAVE ANY STRONG QG-TYPE FORCING TO SINK OUR
TEETH INTO. THE GFS AND ECMWF...WHICH ARE STILL PREFERABLE TO THE
NAM FOR THE MOST PART...SHOW MOST OF THE FORCING ON A WEAKENING
TREND AS IT MOVES FROM THE SW TO NE ACROSS THE FORECAST AREA MONDAY
MORNING. THERE SHOULD BE ENOUGH FORCING ALONG WITH DEEP MOISTURE FOR
A QUICK BURST OF PRECIP AS IT DEVELOPS MONDAY MORNING. TEMP PROFILES
AND THICKNESSES SUPPORT ALL SNOW FROM ONSET THROUGH MIDDAY...SO
CONFIDENCE IS HIGH THAT WE WILL GET A PERIOD OF HEAVY SNOW THAT WILL
ACCUMULATE A QUICK FEW INCHES. THIS WILL PROBABLY HAPPEN BEFORE
SUNRISE OVER NORTHEAST GEORGIA...SW MTNS...AND WRN UPSTATE. THEN
AROUND SUNRISE FOR THE FR BROAD VALLEY AND MIDDLE UPSTATE...THEN MID
MORNING OVER IN THE WRN PIEDMONT OF NC. AFTER A FEW HOURS OF
MODERATE TO HEAVY SNOW...WARM ADVECTION AT MID LEVELS SUPPORT A WARM
NOSE DEVELOPING FROM THE SOUTH THAT WILL CHANGE PRECIP TYPES OVER TO
A SNOW/SLEET MIX FOR SEVERAL HOURS DURING THE MIDDLE OF THE DAY.
ALMOST ALL MEMBERS OF THE SREF SUPPORT THIS IDEA. TEMPS SHOULD
REMAIN AT OR BELOW FREEZING. LATE IN THE DAY...DRY AIR IS EXPECTED
TO MOVE IN ALOFT AS THE ISENTROPIC UPGLIDE RETREATS TO LEVELS BELOW
ABOUT 800 MB. TEMP PROFILES SHOW THAT WE WILL PROBABLY NO LONGER BE
SATURATED HIGH ENOUGH FOR ICE NUCLEI TO BE ACTIVE...YET VERY LOW
LEVEL FORCING WILL CONTINUE TO PRODUCE UPWARD MOTION AND PRECIP WITH
THE BOUNDARY LAYER BELOW FREEZING. THINK THIS WILL LEAD TO A NEAR
PERFECT SITUATION FOR WIDESPREAD LIGHT FREEZING RAIN OR FREEZING
DRIZZLE FROM LATE MONDAY AFTERNOON WELL INTO MONDAY NIGHT.
FORTUNATELY...BY THAT TIME PRECIP AMOUNTS WILL BE LIGHT. THE LOW
LEVEL UPGLIDE WILL WEAKEN ON TUESDAY MORNING WHICH SHOULD PUT AN END
TO THE EVENT BY MIDDAY. SO...TO RECAP...EXPECT A BURST OF SNOW IN
THE MORNING WITH A FEW TO SEVERAL INCHES...THEN CHANGING OVER TO
SLEET IN THE AFTERNOON...THEN ENDING AS AN EXTENDED PERIOD OF LIGHT
FREEZING RAIN THAT WILL COAT EVERYTHING WITH A GLAZE OF ABOUT A
TENTH OF AN INCH. NOW...FOR THE CAVEATS. THE PRECIP AMOUNT IS BY NO
MEANS CERTAIN...AND THERE IS LINGERING CONCERN THAT CONVECTION NEAR
THE GULF MIGHT INTERFERE WITH THE AMOUNT OF MOISTURE THAT WE WILL
HAVE AVAILABLE THIS FAR NORTH. ANOTHER THING...FREEZING RAIN IS A
SELF LIMITING PROCESS AND IT DOES NOT LOOK LIKE WE WILL HAVE ANY
NEAR SURFACE MAINTENANCE OF DRY AIR. THIS WILL PROBABLY NOT GREATLY
IMPACT THE AMOUNT OF GLAZE AND SHOULD HELP TO KEEP ICE ACCRETION
DOWN TO MANAGEABLE AMOUNTS LESS THAN ABOUT A TENTH OF AN INCH.
DURING THE MIDDLE PART OF THE DAY ON TUESDAY...TEMPS WILL STRUGGLE
TO GET MUCH ABOVE FREEZING. THERE SHOULD BE A LULL IN ACTIVITY
BEFORE MOISTURE AT LOW LEVELS MOVES BACK IN FROM THE NW WITH COLDER
AIR. NW FLOW SNOW SHOWERS SHOULD CRANK BACK UP ON THE TN BORDER
AFTER 18Z TUESDAY.
&&
.LONG TERM /TUESDAY NIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY/...
AS OF 250 PM SAT...GOOD MDL AGREEMENT...AND THEREFORE CONFIDENCE...
IN THE FCST THRU FRI. CHANNELED SHORT WAVE ENERGY ALONG WITH NWLY
FLOW WILL LEAD TO A PROLONGED PERIOD OF NW FLOW SNOW OVER THE NC
MTNS THRU THU...WITH THE BEST POTENTIAL FOR SIGNIFICANT ACCUMS TUE
NITE AND WED WHEN THE CHANNELED SHORT WAVE ENERGY IS HIGHEST. SNOW
SHOWERS WILL LINGER ALONG THE TN BORDER WED NITE...THEN RETREAT TO
THE NRN MTNS FOR THU. RIGHT NOW IT LOOKS LIKE ADDITIONAL ACCUMS WILL
REMAIN IN THE ADV RANGE...WITH ISOLATED HIGHER AMOUNTS IN THE USUAL
AREAS. THE BIGGER STORY WILL BE THE COLD HIGH PRESSURE BUILDING IN
FROM THE NW. EXPECT HIGHS TO REMAIN BELOW FREEZING FOR ALL BUT THE
LITTLE TENNESSEE VALLEY WED AND THU WITH MOST VALLEY LOCATIONS
REACHING THE MID 30S ON FRI. OUTSIDE THE MTNS...HIGHS WILL BE IN THE
LOW TO MID 30S WED/THU AND MID TO UPPER 30S FRI.
THE FCST FOR SAT REMAINS IN QUESTION AS A WEAK SHORT WAVE PUSHES A
COLD FRONT ACROSS THE AREA LATE IN THE DAY OR EVENING. THE GFS
STARTS OUT COLD THEN WARMS UP QUICKLY CHANGING ANY PRECIP FROM A
WINTRY MIX TO RAIN. THE 12Z ECMWF IS COLDER SUGGESTING THE WINTRY
MIX CONTINUES ACROSS THE NRN TIER AND MTNS WITH RAIN TO THE SOUTH.
GIVEN THE UNCERTAINTY...HAVE CAPPED POP AT SLIGHT CHC FOR NOW WITH
TEMPERATURE DEPENDENT RAIN/SNOW. THIS FCST WILL LIKELY CHANGE QUITE
A BIT AS THE WEEK WEARS ON.
&&
.AVIATION /21Z SATURDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/...
AT KCLT AND ALL TERMINALS EXCEPT KAVL...PARTLY CLOUD IN NC TO
GENERALLY CLEAR SKIES SC ARE EXPECTED THIS AFTERNOON...WITH A
DECREASING TREND IN CLOUDS OVER NC TONIGHT. WINDS WILL BE GUSTY FROM
THE WEST NORTHWEST INTO THE EVENING. CIRRUS SPREAD NE INTO THE AREA
SUNDAY MORNING.
AT KAVL...UP VALLEY FLOW WILL CONTINUE TO PRODUCE OCCASIONAL MVFR
CIGS AND VISIBILITY EARLY THIS AFTERNOON. CLOUDS SCATTER OUT LATE IN
THE AFTERNOON. NW WINDS WILL BE VERY GUSTY INTO EARLY EVENING.
WIDESPREAD CIRRUS INVADES FORM THE SW ON SUNDAY MORNING.
OUTLOOK...VFR CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED LATE SUNDAY. A SIGNIFICANT
WINTER STORM WILL AFFECT THE REGION SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH AT LEAST
MONDAY NIGHT...LEADING TO WIDESPREAD AND PROLONGED RESTRICTIONS IN
SNOW. LIGHT FREEZING RAIN WILL ALSO BE POSSIBLE BEFORE PRECIPITATION
COMES TO AN END TUESDAY.
