AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE GREENVILLE-SPARTANBURG SC
321 PM EDT SAT OCT 27 2012

.SYNOPSIS...
TROPICAL CYCLONE SANDY WILL CONTINUE TO MOVE NORTH ALONG THE EAST
COAST THROUGH THE WEEKEND. BY MONDAY SANDY WILL DEVELOP INTO A
POWERFUL NOR-EASTER. THE STORM IS EXPECTED TO CURVE WEST AND MOVE
ASHORE NEAR NEW JERSEY MONDAY NIGHT. THIS WILL RESULT IN
UNSEASONABLY CHILLY AND WINDY CONDITIONS OVER THE AREA AND SOME SNOW
FOR THE NORTH CAROLINA MOUNTAINS IN THE HIGHER ELEVATIONS SUNDAY
NIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH SUNDAY/...
AS OF 245 PM EDT...HURRICANE SANDY WILL MOVE NE PARALLEL TO THE
SOUTHEAST COASTLINE TONIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY. FORCING AND MOISTURE
WILL REMAIN VERY LIMITED ACROSS THE REGION TONIGHT...BUT UPPER
DIVERGENCE WILL IMPROVE AS THE H250 JET SHARPENS FROM THE GREAT
LAKES TO THE SRN APPALACHIANS. IN ADDITION...NRLY FLOW MOISTURE WILL
CREATE INCREASING UPSLOPE FORCING ALONG THE WRN MTNS...WITH SOLID
CHC POPS FOR RAIN SHOWERS BY DAYBREAK SUNDAY ALONG THE SPINE.

A STRONG SHORTWAVE IN THE BASE OF THE TROUGH WILL CROSS THE SRN
APPALACHIANS SUNDAY AFTN. AN H5 THERMAL TROUGH WILL ACCOMPANY THE
WAVE...HELPING TO RAPIDLY COOL PROFILES. WILL FEATURE INCREASING
LIKELY POPS IN THE TN BORDER AREA GIVEN THE IMPROVING UPSLOPE FLOW
AND PASSING DPVA. WILL SHOW RAIN SHOWERS MIXING OVER TO SNOW SHOWERS
ALONG THE RIDGE TOPS VERY LATE IN THE AFTERNOON. THE TIGHTENING PRES
GRADIENT SHOULD YIELD GUSTS IN THE 30S ACROSS THE HIGHER TERRAIN BY
LATE DAY...WITH GUSTS INTO THE 20S ACROSS THE PIEDMONT.

&&

.SHORT TERM /SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY/...
AS OF 250 PM SATURDAY...SANDY WILL BE EAST OF NC AT 00Z MONDAY
MOVING NORTH. IT WILL BE QUITE BREEZY TO WINDY SUNDAY NIGHT AS THE
STRONG SHORTWAVE ARRIVES FROM THE WEST.  850MB TEMPS WILL DROP TO
AROUND FREEZING IN HIGHEST ELEVATIONS SUNDAY EVENING AND SNOW WILL
BEGIN AT THAT TIME FOR THE HIGHEST PEAKS. SNOW SHOWERS WILL CONTINUE
THROUGH MONDAY...BUT THE HIGHEST SNOWFALL AMOUNTS WILL BE MONDAY
NIGHT AND TUESDAY. TOTALS OVER 6 INCHES FOR THE TOTAL EVENT FOR
HIGHER ELEVATIONS. WE ARE GOING WITH A HIGH WIND WATCH FROM 04Z
MONDAY THROUGH 00Z WEDNESDAY FOR THE NORTHERN MOUNTAINS. MODELS ARE
NOW IN AGREEMENT TO BRING SANDY WEST ACROSS MARYLAND ON TUESDAY.
THIS WILL CREATE A STRONG PRESSURE GRADIENT WITH POTENTIAL GUSTS
OVER 50 KNOTS AT THE HIGH ELEVATIONS. WAVES OF MOISTURE WILL BE
GREATEST MONDAY NIGHT INTO TUESDAY. THE NAM DOES START TO BRING THE
SYSTEM NORTH FROM MARYLAND LATE TUESDAY.

&&

.LONG TERM /TUESDAY NIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY/...
AS OF 2 PM SATURDAY...THE LATEST GUIDANCE OUT IN THE MEDIUM RANGE
HOLDS ONTO THE IDEA THAT ANOTHER SURGE IN NW FLOW PRECIP PRODUCTION
WILL OCCUR ON TUESDAY NIGHT. THIS IS SEEN IN BOTH THE GFS AND THE
00Z ECMWF. WHAT IS INTERESTING IS THAT THE GFS HAS UPPER SUPPORT
WITH A STRONG VORT LOBE MOVING ACROSS THE MTNS WITH GOOD DPVA AND
MOISTURE UP ABOVE 700 MB...SUGGESTING IT WILL BE MOIST UP TO A HIGH
ENOUGH ALTITUDE FOR ICE NUCLEI TO REMAIN ACTIVE. WITH THAT IN
MIND... THE CHANCE POP WILL BE EXTENDED THROUGH TUE NIGHT AND INTO
WEDNESDAY MAINLY FOR SNOW SHOWERS ON THE TN BORDER. A FEW MORE
INCHES COULD ACCUMULATE IF THE GFS PRECIP AMTS ARE TO BE BELIEVED.
TEMPS WILL REMAIN WELL BELOW NORMAL.

THE MOISTURE WILL FINALLY START TO PULL OUT ON WEDNESDAY NIGHT AS
THE REMNANT LOW MOVES AWAY. WE WILL REMAIN UNDER A DEEP NW FLOW
ALOFT AS AN EXPANSIVE AREA OF SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE STARTS TO BUILD
IN FOR THE LATTER HALF OF THE WEEK. THIS WILL KEEP TEMPS BELOW
NORMAL THROUGH AT LEAST FRIDAY. SOME MODERATION SHOULD HAPPEN ON
SATURDAY AS HEIGHTS RISE AND HIGH PRESSURE MOVES IN.

&&

.AVIATION /20Z SATURDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/...
AT KCLT...MAINLY SCT TO BKN VFR LEVEL CLOUDS ARE EXPECTED UNDER A
SOLID CIRRUS SHIELD ALOFT. CANNOT RULE OUT A FEW BRIEF TEMPO PERIODS
OF MVFR CLOUDS EARLY THIS AFTN AND OVERNIGHT...BUT CONFIDENCE IS TOO
LOW TO MENTION. GUSTY NNE WINDS WILL PERSIST THROUGH THE EARLY
EVENING BEFORE WEAKENING SLIGHTLY OVERNIGHT. STRONGER NRLY GUSTS
WILL RETURN WITH MIXING ON SUNDAY.

ELSEWHERE...MAINLY SCT TO BKN VFR LEVEL CLOUDS WILL CONTINUE UNDER
OVC CIRRUS. THE MAIN EXCEPTION WILL BE KAVL...WHERE LOW LEVEL
MOISTURE WILL PUSH INTO THE FRENCH BROAD VALLEY. MVFR CIGS ARE
LIKELY BY LATE EVENING...AND CLOUD HEIGHTS WILL FURTHER LOWER BY
DAYBREAK. GUSTY NORTH WINDS WILL REMAIN THROUGH SUNSET...DISSIPATE
SLIGHTLY OVERNIGHT...THEN RETURN WITH MIXING ON SUNDAY. CONDITIONS
SHOULD REMAIN VFR THROUGH THE REST OF THE TAF PERIOD EAST OF THE
MTNS.

OUTLOOK...THE CIRCULATION AROUND TROPICAL CYCLONE SANDY WILL YIELD
GUSTY NORTH TO NORTHWEST WINDS ACROSS THE WESTERN CAROLINAS SUNDAY
NIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY. UPSLOPE CLOUDS ACROSS THE NORTH CAROLINA
MOUNTAINS WILL CREATE RESTRICTIVE CEILINGS...ESPECIALLY DURING THE
EARLY MORNING HOURS.
