AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE GREENVILLE-SPARTANBURG SC
235 PM EST TUE NOV 26 2013

.SYNOPSIS...
SURFACE LOW PRESSURE AND AN UPPER LEVEL TROF WILL MOVE NORTHEAST OF
THE AREA TONIGHT AND THROUGH THE DAY WEDNESDAY. DRY CANADIAN HIGH
PRESSURE WILL THEN BUILD IN FROM THE WEST AND BECOME REINFORCED OVER
THE REGION THROUGH THE WEEKEND. ON MONDAY...A WEAK SURFACE FRONT IS
EXPECTED TO REACH THE WESTERN CAROLINAS AND NORTHEAST GEORGIA.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH WEDNESDAY NIGHT/...
AS OF 225 PM EST TUESDAY...A COMPLEX SHORT TERM FORECAST AS LOW
PRESSURE MOVES ACROSS THE CENTRAL CAROLINAS TONIGHT AND WEDNESDAY.
I/LL SIMPLY LIST THE CONCERNS BELOW.

HEAVY RAIN...
A FLOOD WATCH WAS ISSUED WITH THE MORNING UPDATE FOR ALL OF THE
MOUNTAIN AND FOOTHILL ZONES IN THE FORECAST AREA. A 50 TO 60 KT LLVL
JET IS SUPPORTING STRONG MOISTURE TRANSPORT ACROSS THE EASTERN
ESCARPMENT OF THE BLUE RIDGE. 24 HOUR PRECIP TOTALS RANGE FROM 2 TO
3 INCHES ACROSS ALL OF THE SOUTHWEST NC MTNS...NE GA AND THE UPSTATE
AS WELL AS THE BLUE RIDGE NORTHWARD FROM POLK TO CALDWELL COUNTIES.
ANOTHER INCH OR TWO OF RAIN IS LIKELY IN THIS AREA BEFORE THE FLOW
VEERS TO THE SSW AND HEAVIER RAIN PUSHES AWAY FROM THE MTNS BETWEEN
03-06 UTC. THIS WILL CONTINUE THE THREAT FOR MAIN STEAM RIVER
FLOODING AS WELL AS FLOODING ALONG SOME OF THE USUAL PROBLEM STREAMS
IN THIS AREA. THE NAM SOUNDINGS HAVE ELEVATED INSTABILITY THIS
EVENING ACROSS MUCH OF THE NC FOOTHILLS AND PIEDMONT AND THE NE
PIEDMONT OF SC. IF TSTMS BEGIN TO DEVELOP THEN LOCALIZED FLASH
FLOODING COULD DEVELOP IN PLACES LIKE CHARLOTTE. CONFIDENCE ISN/T
HIGH ENOUGH TO ISSUE A WATCH AT THIS POINT BUT IT/S SOMETHING WE
WILL MONITOR.

WINTER WEATHER...
THE WINTER STORM WATCH WILL BE UPGRADED TO A WINTER STORM WARNING
ALONG THE TN BOARDER COUNTIES. THE NAM SOUNDINGS CONTINUE TO SHOW
STRONG LLVL COLD ADVECTION UNDER UNDERNEATH OF A WARM
NOSE...RESULTING IN A PERIOD OF FREEZING RAIN OVER THE WRN SLOPES OF
THE NC MTNS STARTING AROUND MIDNIGHT. THE WARM NOSE WILL QUICKLY
COLLAPSE AS THE LOW MOVES NORTHEAST OF THE REGION...BUT I HAVE
CARRIED A FEW HOURS OF FREEZING RAIN IN THE GRIDS...ESP NEAR THE TN
LINE. HOWEVER...THE MAIN CONCERN WILL BE HEAVY SNOW AND STRONG
WINDS. BY 12 UTC PCPN SHOULD BE ALL SNOW ALONG THE TN LINE. THERE
WILL ALSO BE STRONG SYNOPTIC SCALE FORCING AT THIS TIME WHICH WILL
SUPPORT HEAVY SNOWFALL RATES...ESPECIALLY WHERE THE PCPN WILL BE
ENHANCED BY NW FLOW. BY LATE MORNING THE EVENT WILL TRANSITION INTO
PURE NW FLOW...THOUGH STRONG H8 WINDS AND DEEP MOIST LAYER WILL
SUPPORT ACCUMULATING SNOW WELL INTO THE EVENING HOURS. VERY WINDY
CONDITIONS WILL ALSO RESULT IN BLOWING AND DRIFTING SNOW...THOUGH
THE STRONGEST WINDS WILL PROBABLY DEVELOP JUST EAST OF THE HEAVIEST
SNOW.

A WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY HAS BEEN ISSUED FOR MOST OF THE REST OF
THE NC MTNS. RAPIDLY COOLING TEMPERATURES WILL SUPPORT WIDESPREAD
BLACK ICE. IN ADDITION...THAT SHOT OF DEEP FORCING COULD SUPPORT AN
INCH OR TWO OF SNOW BEFORE PCPN ENDS LATE WED MORNING.

A PERIOD OF SNOW IS ALSO POSSIBLE ACROSS THE FOOTHILLS AND PIEDMONT.
IN FACT I THINK THERE IS A GOOD CHANCE THE I-85 CORRIDOR WILL SEE
SNOWFALL...BUT ONLY A BRIEF PERIOD AND IT SHOULDN/T STICK. I/VE
ADDED THIS TO THE GRIDS. WITH TOMORROW BEING THE BUSIEST TRAVEL DAY
OF THE YEAR WE WILL HAVE TO WATCH THIS VERY CLOSELY.

STRONG WINDS...
THE NAM AND OUR WORKSTATION WRF INDICATE THAT STRONG WINDS WILL
DEVELOP ACROSS THE UPPER FRENCH BROAD VALLEY..NORTHERN GREENVILLE
COUNTY AND ACROSS THE NC BLUE RIDGE FROM POLK COUNTY NORTHWARD. THE
STRONG WINDS SHOULD RAPIDLY DEVELOP BETWEEN 10-12 UTC AS THE COLD
ADVECTION STRENGTHENS BEHIND THE RETREATING LOW. THE WET GROUND WILL
ALSO HELP THE STRONG WINDS BLOW DOWN TREES. THE WARNING WILL RUN
THROUGH 23 UTC WEDNESDAY.

COLD TEMPERATURES...
HIGH TEMPERATURES ON WEDNESDAY WILL RUN AROUND 20 DEGREES BELOW
NORMAL...WITH HIGHS ON THURSDAY STILL 15 TO 20 DEGREES BELOW NORMAL.

&&

.SHORT TERM /THURSDAY/...
AS OF 230 PM EST TUESDAY.....HIGHS ON THANKSGIVING DAY WILL STILL
RUN 15 TO 20 DEGREES BELOW NORMAL...THOUGH HIGH PRESSURE WILL
BRING CLEAR SKIES AND QUIET WEATHER.

&&

.LONG TERM /THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY/...
AS OF 150 PM EST TUESDAY...NOT MUCH CHANGE IS NEEDED TO THE PREVIOUS
FCST. THE MODELS CONTINUE TO DISPLAY GOOD AGREEMENT WITH THE GENERAL
SYNOPTIC PATTERN AND THE GFS ENS SPREAD REMAINS ON THE LOW SIDE.
THUS ...WILL ANTICIPATE A QUASI/ZONAL FLOW OR WEAKLY RIDGED ATMOS
REINFORCING STRONG SFC HIGH PRESSURE OVER THE FA FRI THROUGH SUN.
THERE WILL BE SOME STREAMLINE H5 VORT PASSING OVERHEAD SAT AND SUN
WHICH WILL LIKELY PRODUCE SCT/BKN ACU/CI WHICH WONT AFFECT SFC TEMPS
MUCH. HOWEVER...THE STRONG SFC RIDGE WILL CONTINUE A COOL AND DRY
NE/LY FLOW AND WILL EXPECT ONLY A MINOR MODIFICATION THE AIRMASS AND
MAX TEMPS LIMITED AT LEAST 10 DEGREES F BELOW NORMAL FRI THROUGH
SUN. MINS WILL RADIATE ABOUT 8-10 DEGREES F COOLER THAN NORMAL
DURING THIS TIME AS WELL. A LOOSE AND UNORGANIZED H5 TROF WILL
IMPINGE UPON THE AREA LATE SUN THROUGH MON WITH A WEAKLY DEFINED SFC
REFLECTION. THERE WILL BE SOME LLVL MOISTURE FLUX AHEAD OF THIS
FEATURE AND PROBABLY ENOUGH LIFT TO PRODUCE NUSIANCE TYPE LOW QPF
-SHRA. THUS...THE GOING CHANCE POPS WERE ONLY MODIFIED SLIGHTLY LATE
SUN THROUGH MON. THINGS WILL DRY OUT PRETTY QUICKLY MON NIGHT AS
ANOTHER STRONG CP HIGH BUILDS SOUTH. MAX TEMPS WILL BE HINDERED MON
WITH ALL THE CLOUD COVER AND SHOULD BE HELD BELOW NORMAL BY A CAT OR
SO. MAX TEMPS ON TUE WILL NEAR OR REACH AROUND NORMAL IN GOOD
INSOLATION AS A FAIRLY STRONG UPPER RIDGE BUILDS DIRECTLY OVERHEAD.

&&

.AVIATION /20Z TUESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/...
AT KCLT...LIFR CIGS WILL BE THE RULE THROUGH THE REST OF THE AFTN
HOURS AND OVERNIGHT AS COLD AIR DAMMING WILL SUPPORT CONTINUED LOW
CIGS. PERIODS OF RAIN...HEAVY AT TIMES...WILL FALL UNTIL MIDNIGHT.
HELPING TO LOWER VSBYS AS WELL. IMPROVEMENT WILL HAPPEN STARTING
AROUND 13-15 UTC AS A COLD FRONT CROSSES THE AIRFIELD...LIFTING
CIGS AND TURNING THE WINDS OUT OF THE NORTHWEST. EVEN THOUGH THE
WINDS HAVE RECENTLY GONE ALMOST DUE EAST...IT/S EXPECTED THEY WILL
REMAIN MORE OUT OF THE NE THE REST OF THE DAY AND NORTH TONIGHT. IF
THE NAM IS RIGHT A PERIOD OF SNOW WILL BE POSSIBLE AROUND THE
MID-MORNING HOURS ON WED. THE MODEL HAS BEEN CONSISTENT WITH THIS
AND FORCING IT GENERATES SEEMS REASONABLE. I DID NOT INCLUDE
ANYTHING WITH THIS TAF...BUT IT/S SOMETHING TO WATCH CLOSELY.

ELSEWHERE...THE CHARLOTTE DISCUSSION ABOVE IS QUITE SIMILAR TO THE
REST OF THE FOOTHILL AND PIEDMONT TAF SITES WITH LIFR CIGS AND LOW
VSBYS IN PERIODS OF MODERATE TO HEAVY RAIN THROUGH TONIGHT. WINDS
WILL BE NE EXCEPT AT KAVL WHERE THE WILL BE OUT OF THE SOUTHEAST. A
STRONG COLD FRONT WILL CROSS THE MOUNTAINS TONIGHT AND THE REST OF
THE REGION WED MORNING. WINDS WILL INCREASE BEHIND THE FRONT. STRONG
NORTHWEST WINDS WILL BE POSSIBLE AT KAVL STARTING LATE TONIGHT. A
PERIOD OF SNOW IS A GOOD BET AT KAVL STARTING AROUND 12 UTC. THE NAM
GENERATES SNOW ACROSS THE FOOTHILLS AND PIEDMONT THROUGH THE MID
MORNING HOURS ON WED. THIS COULD VERIFY...BUT FOR NOW I ELECTED TO
KEEP SNOW OUT OF THE TAF.

OUTLOOK...CONDITIONS WILL IMPROVE WED AFTN...THOUGH IT WILL BE
WINDY. VFR CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED FROM WEDNESDAY NIGHT ONWARD.
