AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE GREENVILLE-SPARTANBURG SC
232 PM EDT MON OCT 29 2012

.SYNOPSIS...
AFTER MAKING LANDFALL OVER SOUTHERN NEW JERSEY...SANDY WILL CONTINUE
TO TRANSITION INTO A POWERFUL NOREASTER STORM TONIGHT AND WEAKEN
THROUGH MID WEEK AS IT MOVES FARTHER INLAND.  VERY WINDY AND SNOWY
CONDITIONS WILL CONTINUE THROUGH TUESDAY FOR THE NORTH CAROLINA
MOUNTAINS. THE UPPER LEVEL TROUGH WILL MOVE OVER THE ATLANTIC LATE
THIS WEEK AS A RIDGE BUILDS IN FROM THE WEST BY NEXT WEEKEND.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TUESDAY/...
AT 230 PM EDT MONDAY...A BLOCKING UPPER HIGH WILL FORCE TS SANDY NW
AND INLAND OVER THE MID ATLANTIC COAST TONIGHT. THE CIRCULATION
AROUND AND TIGHT PRESSURE GRADIENT THIS SYSTEMS WILL PRODUCE GUSTY
NW WINDS ACROSS OUR AREA TONIGHT...BACKING TO THE WEST ON TUESDAY.
THE CURRENT HIGH WIND WARNING AND WIND ADVISORY WILL REMAIN IN
PLACE...AS MUCH FOR IMPACT ON TREES WITH LEAVES AS FOR ACTUAL WIND
SPEEDS. INCREASING MOISTURE WRAPPING AROUND THE SYSTEM WILL
ENCOUNTER THE SOUTHERN APPALACHIANS IN COLD UPSLOPE FLOW...PRODUCING
SNOW AT HIGHER ELEVATIONS THIS AFTERNOON...AND A LESSER CHANCE OF
RAIN IN THE LEE. SNOW LEVEL WILL DROP TO THE MOUNTAIN VALLEY FLOORS
THIS EVENING...AND EVEN TO THE LOWER ELEVATIONS OF THE FOOTHILLS BY
DAYBREAK TUESDAY. THE WINTER STORM WARNING AND WINTER WEATHER
ADVISORY IN THE MOUNTAINS WILL REMAIN IN PLACE...WITH IMPACT ON LEAF
COVERED TREES FACTORED IN. PRECIPITATION CHANCES WILL DIMINISH ON
TUESDAY AS LOW LEVEL FLOW BACKS TO THE WEST PROVIDING LESS OF AN
ORTHOGONAL COMPONENT INTO THE MOUNTAINS. TEMPERATURES WILL BE
SEVERAL CATEGORIES BELOW NORMAL...DESPITE A DOWNSLOPE COMPONENT IN
THE LEE OF THE MOUNTAINS. A FREEZE WARNING WILL BE ISSUED FOR
TONIGHT IN THE NORTHERN AND SOUTHERN NC MOUNTAINS. THE FRENCH BROAD
RIVER VALLEY IS EXPECTED TO REMAIN SLIGHTLY ABOVE FREEZING IN THE
VALLEYS...AS ARE THE NE GA MOUNTAINS.

&&

.SHORT TERM /TUESDAY NIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY/...
AS OF 215 PM EDT MONDAY...STRONG ENVIRONMENTAL WIND FLOW WITHIN THE
LINGERING DEEP EASTERN CONUS CYCLONE WILL CONTINUE TO GIVE RISE TO
A HIGHER ELEVATION DAMAGING WIND THREAT LASTING INTO TUESDAY NIGHT.
THE CURRENT PLACEMENT OF HIGH WIND PRODUCTS LOOKS ON TRACK AND DO NOT
PLAN ON MAKING ANY ADJUSTMENTS AT THIS JUNCTURE. BOTH THE NAM AND
GFS MODEL CROSSSECTIONS DEPICT A VERY FAVORABLE LOOKING PROFILE TO
MAINTAIN AT LEAST NUMEROUS SNOW SHOWERS INTO THE NIGHT...A STOUT NW
FLOW AND MOISTURE EXTENDING WELL UP INTO THE DENDRITIC CRYSTAL
GROWTH LAYER. DESPITE FTHL/PIEDMONT TEMPERATURES DIPPING INTO
THE FROSTY RANGE WEDNESDAY MORNING...CONSIDERABLE MIXING IS
EXPECTED TO LIMIT ANY FROST DEVELOPMENT.

NW FLOW MOISTURE IS EXPECTED TO LESSEN THROUGH THE DAY ON WEDNESDAY
EVENTUALLY CHANGING LINGERING SNOW SHOWERS TO FLURRIES BEFORE
TAPERING OFF. DEEP CYCLONIC FLOW ATOP THE REGION WILL CONTINUE
ALTHOUGH THE STRONGEST WINDS WILL BE ROTATING OUT OF THE AREA.
BONAFIDE WINDY CONDITIONS SHOULD BE LIMITED TO THE MOUNTAINS
ALTHOUGH GUSTY CONDITIONS SHOULD BE ABLE TO REDEVELOP ACRS THE
ENTIRE CWFA. SAVE FOR THE HIGH COUNTRY AND WHERE SNOW ACCUMULATES TO
AN APPRECIABLE DEPTH...MAX TEMPERATURES ARE EXPECTED TO REBOUND FROM
MONDAYS/TUESDAYS COOL READINGS.

DESPITE LINGERING MIXING...THE THREAT FOR A FTHL/PIEDMONT LIGHT
FREEZE AND/OR FROST LOOKS TO INCREASE WEDNESDAY NIGHT UNDER MOSTLY
CLEAR CONDITIONS. CHANNELED VORT ENERGY IS PROGGED TO ROTATE THRU
ON THURSDAY AND WILL PLAN ON FAVORING THE LESS RESPONSIVE OP GFS
SOLUTION. THIS WILL LIMIT SENSIBLE WX TO FAIR AND BREEZY CONDITIONS
AS MAX TEMPS CREEP A FEW DEG F ABOVE PERSISTENCE.

&&

.LONG TERM /THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY/...
AT 200 PM EDT MONDAY...REMNANT LOW OF TC SANDY IS FORECAST TO MOVE NE
INTO NORTHERN NEW ENGLAND THU NIGHT WITH HIGH PRESSURE BEGINNING TO
BUILD EAST INTO THE SOUTHERN APPALACHIANS. HOWEVER...IT MUST BE
POINTED OUT THAT THE 12Z NAM SHOWS A CLIPPER-LIKE LOW AFFECTING THE
THE NC MOUNTAINS BY LATE THU. NO OTHER GUIDANCE SOURCE...INCLUDING
HPC...SHOWS THIS FEATURE. HENCE...HAVE DISCOUNTED THAT SOLUTION FOR
NOW. ALSO...THE DEEP LONG WAVE TROUGH OVER THE EASTERN U.S. IS
FORECAST TO TRANSLATE EASTWARD INTO THE ATLANTIC OVER THE WEEKEND
WITH AN UPPER RIDGE REPLACING IT BY SUNDAY. A SHORT WAVE AND AN
ASSOCIATED SURFACE COLD FRONT WILL REACH THE AREA ON MON. THE
FORECAST WILL CALL FOR DRY CONDITIONS FRI THROUGH SUN...WITH A
CHANCE FOR SHOWERS ON MON. TEMPERATURES WILL BEGIN THE PERIOD WELL
BELOW AVERAGE...BUT WARM OVER THE WEEKEND TO NEAR NORMAL VALUES.
STAYED CLOSE TO HPC GUIDANCE FIELDS.

&&

.AVIATION /19Z MONDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/...
AT KCLT...VFR. GUSTY NW WINDS WILL GRADUALLY BACK TO A MORE WESTERLY
DIRECTION BY TUESDAY. A LOW VFR CIG WILL PERSIST IN MOISTURE
WRAPPING AROUND HURRICANE SANDY. THE CHANCE OF SHOWERS WILL INCREASE
THIS AFTERNOON...AND EVENING..BUT NOT TO THE POINT OF A MENTION IN
THE TAF. EARLIER DATA MAY HAVE SUPPORTED A BRIEF CHANGEOVER TO SNOW
AROUND DAYBREAK...BUT THE LATEST MODEL WET BULB TEMPERATURES SUPPORT
LIQUID PRECIPITATION. NO DAYBREAK FOG IS EXPECTED EITHER.

ELSEWHERE...VFR AT TAF SITES. ANY RESTRICTIONS WILL BE LIMITED TO
THE NC MOUNTAINS BORDERING TN...WHERE THE HEAVIEST SNOWFALL IS
EXPECTED. LOW VFR CIGS NOW IN NC ARE EXPECTED TO SPREAD INTO SC THIS
AFTERNOON. THE CHANCE OF SHOWERS WILL INCREASE AT KHKY AND
KAVL...BUT NOT ENOUGH FOR A MENTION IN THE TAF. PRECIPITATION AT
KAVL WILL CHANGE TO SNOW THIS EVENING...AND AT KHKY BRIEFLY TO TO
SNOW AROUND DAYBREAK. WINDS WILL REMAIN GUSTY...BACKING FORM NW THIS
AFTERNOON AND TONIGHT...TO WEST ON TUESDAY.

OUTLOOK...PRECIPITATION CHANCES WILL DIMINISH EAST OF THE MOUNTAINS
LATE TUESDAY...BUT WILL LINGER IN THE MOUNTAINS UNTIL EARLY
WEDNESDAY. DRIER WEATHER IS EXPECTED LATE IN THE WEEK.
