AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE GREENVILLE-SPARTANBURG SC
259 PM EST TUE JAN 25 2011

.SYNOPSIS...
A LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM WILL MOVE UP THE CAROLINA COASTLINE
TONIGHT...AND CONTINUE NORTHEASTWARD AWAY FROM THE REGION ON
WEDNESDAY. IN THE WAKE OF THE LOW...WEAK HIGH PRESSURE WILL BUILD
BACK OVER THE AREA FROM THE WEST ON THURSDAY AND LINGER THROUGH THE
FIRST PART OF THE WEEKEND. A WEAK COLD FRONT WILL THEN MOVE OVER THE
REGION SATURDAY EVENING.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
COMPLICATED WX PATTERN THIS PERIOD AS STRONG UPPER LOW APPROACHES
THE AREA TONIGHT FROM THE MID SOUTH. QG FORCING AND ISENTROPIC LIFT
INCREASE TONIGHT KEEPING WIDESPREAD PRECIPITATION ACROSS THE AREA.
EXPECT ALL RAIN OUTSIDE OF THE MTNS WITH ONLY LIGHT TO MODERATE QPF.
THE MTNS WILL BE TRICKIER AS TEMPS/WET BULBS ARE NOW ABOVE FREEZING.
FCST TEMPS/SOUNDINGS AND THICKNESSES AND SREF PLUME DIAGRAMS ARE ALL
POINTING TO LIQUID RAIN FOR THE BULK OF THE PERIOD TONIGHT. THAT
SAID...THERE REMAINS POTENTIAL FOR TEMPS TO FALL BACK BELOW FREEZING
OVER PORTIONS OF THE NRN MTNS AND NRN BLUE RIDGE. HAVE INDICATED
RAIN WITH CHC FREEZING RAIN THERE BUT DO NOT HAVE ENUF CONFIDENCE TO
ISSUE AN ADV...ESP SINCE PRECIP AMOUNTS WILL BE LIGHT. IF THIS LOOKS
TO BE WORSE THAN EXPECTED...THEN THE EVENING SHIFT CAN ISSUE ONE
LATER. NONE OF THE GUIDANCE SUGGESTS SNOW WILL BE A P-TYPE UNTIL
DAYBREAK OR LATER. LOWS SHOULD ACTUALLY BE ABOVE NORMAL ACROSS THE
BOARD.

THE UPPER LOW MOVES ACROSS THE NC MTNS THU. EXPECT A DRY SLOT TO
WORK IN OUTSIDE OF THE MTNS DURING THE DAY IN THE WAKE OF THE SFC
LOW MOVING UP THE EAST COAST. A DEFORMATION ZONE MOVES ACROSS THE
MTNS DURING THE DAY AS WELL. COLD AIR MOVES IN WITH THIS ZONE AS
WELL CHANGING THE PRECIP TO SNOW ACROSS THE MTNS. GOOD CROSS-HAIR
SIGNATURE SEEN WITH UVV INTO THE SNOW GROWTH ZONE. THIS WILL LEAD TO
A PERIOD OF HEAVY SNOWFALL OVER THE HIGHER ELEVATIONS OF THE TN
BORDER COUNTIES. LESSER AMOUNTS OF SNOW SHOULD FALL IN THE LOWER
ELEVATIONS AND ACROSS NRN JACKSON AND BUNCOMBE COUNTY. WILL GO WITH
A WARNING ABOVE 3500 FT AND ADV BELOW IN THE TN BORDER COUNTIES AND
ADV ALL ELEVATIONS OF NRN JACKSON AND BUNCOMBE. CANNOT RULE OUT SOME
SNOW OVER THE NRN FOOTHILLS OR EVEN THE MTNS OF NE GA/UPSTATE.
HOWEVER...DO NOT EXPECT ANY SIGNIFICANT ACCUMULATIONS. ALL RAIN
STILL EXPECTED OUTSIDE OF THE MTNS WITH PRECIP ENDING DURING THE
AFTERNOON AS THAT DRY SLOT WORKS IN. WINDS WILL INCREASE AND BECOME
GUSTY DURING THE AFTERNOON ALL AREAS. HIGHS WILL BE WELL BELOW
NORMAL.

&&

.SHORT TERM /WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY/...
AS OF 130 PM TUESDAY...AS THE UPPER LOW QUICKLY DEPARTS THE REGION
WED EVENING...THERE WILL BE A BRIEF PERIOD OF NORTHWEST FLOW SNOW
(NFS) SHOWERS. HOWEVER...MODEL SOUNDINGS DEPICT RAPIDLY DEPLETING
MOISTURE...WARMING TEMPS IN THE MOIST LAYER AND WEAKENING/BACKING
FLOW...AS A SECONDARY TROUGH PUSHES TOWARD THE REGION FROM THE NW.
IN OTHER WORDS...THIS WILL BE A NON-SIGNIFICANT...POSSIBLY EVEN SUB-
ADVISORY NFS EVENT.

THE REMAINDER OF THE SHORT TERM SHOULD BE QUITE TRANQUIL...WITH A
BIT OF A WARMING TREND IN THE GENERALLY ZONAL UPPER FLOW PATTERN. IN
FACT...MAX TEMPS ARE EXPECTED TO CLIMB TO ABOUT A CATEGORY ABOVE
CLIMO ON FRIDAY. A CLIPPER SYSTEM PASSING WELL NORTH OF THE AREA
WILL BRING ANOTHER AREA OF LOW-LEVEL MOISTURE TO THE MTNS FRIDAY.
HOWEVER...THE FLOW WILL BE TOO BACKED AND MOISTURE TOO SHALLOW TO
WARRANT ANYTHING MORE THAN SLIGHT CHANCE POPS ATTM.

&&

.LONG TERM /FRIDAY NIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY/...
AS OF 230 PM TUESDAY...TEMPERATURE MODERATION IS EXPECTED TO
CONTINUE INTO THE UPCOMING WEEKEND AS FAIR WX REMAINS ON TAP
WITHIN THE LINGERING QUASI-ZONAL FLOW ALOFT. MILD SATURDAY AND
SUNDAY AFTERNOON MAX TEMPS WILL RANGE ANYWHERE FROM 6 TO 10 DEGREES
ABOVE LATE JANUARY NORMALS.

GIVEN THE CONSENSUS OPINION TO SHY AWAY FROM THE 25/12 UTC ECMWF IN
PHASING OF STREAMS IN THE CENTRAL CONUS AND THE RESULTANT SFC
CYCLONE DEEPENING...WILL LEAN TOWARD THE LATEST GFS/GEFS FEATURING
A BROADER AND STILL QUASI-ZONAL FLOW ATOP THE SE CONUS FOR MONDAY.
THIS SCENARIO WOULD SUPPORT AN ESSENTIALLY DRY FCST WITH MAX TEMPS
A COUPLE OF CATEGORIES ABOVE CLIMO. RUNNING WITH THIS THINKING INTO
THE END OF THE PERIOD WOULD STILL RESULT IN A FAIR WX FCST THRU
TUESDAY.

&&

.AVIATION /20Z TUESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/...
AT KCLT AND ELSEWHERE...ALTHOUGH LIGHT RAIN CONTINUES TO SPREAD
ACROSS THE AREA...IT HAS HAD LITTLE EFFECT ON RESTRICTIONS. EXPECT
CIGS TO DROP TO MVFR FROM SW TO NE LATE THIS AFTERNOON WITH MVFR
VSBY IN THE HEAVIER RAIN OVER THE W. CIGS SHUD STEADILY FALL THRU
THE EVENING TO IFR NEAR MIDNIGHT AND LIFR BEFORE DAYBREAK. VSBY WILL
DROP TO MVFR THEN IFR DURING THAT TIME WITH HEAVIER RAIN. NE TO ENE
WINDS WILL CONTINUE OVERNIGHT. EXPECT IFR TO LIFR CIGS TUE MORNING
WITH IMPROVING VSBY AS RAIN LIGHTENS. WINDS WILL TURN TO THE W AND
NW NEAR NOON TUE. EXPECT RAIN TO BE THE MAIN P-TYPE...BUT CANNOT
RULE OUT A WINTRY MIX AT KAVL.

OUTLOOK...LOW PRESSURE ALONG THE CAROLINA COAST WILL MOVE AWAY
WEDNESDAY AS AN UPPER LOW MOVES OVERHEAD. IMPROVING FLIGHT
CATEGORIES ARE EXPECTED DURING THE AFTERNOON...BUT RESTRICTIONS
COULD LINGER AT KAVL. GUSTY W TO NW WINDS WILL DEVELOP DURING THE
AFTERNOON AS WELL. AREAS OF SNOW ARE EXPECTED OVER THE NORTH
CAROLINA MOUNTAINS ON WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON AS THE UPPER LOW MOVES
ACROSS. VFR CONDITIONS SHOULD RETURN TO THE REGION ON THURSDAY AND
REMAIN INTO THE WEEKEND.
