AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE GREENVILLE-SPARTANBURG SC
126 PM EST WED JAN 30 2013

.SYNOPSIS...
A STRONG COLD FRONT MOVING ACROSS THE WESTERN CAROLINAS AND
NORTHEAST GEORGIA TODAY WILL GIVE WAY TO DRIER HIGH PRESSURE ON
THURSDAY. ANOTHER...FAIRLY WEAK FRONTAL SYSTEM WILL CROSS THE REGION
ON FRIDAY WITH HIGH PRESSURE BUILDING BACK IN FOR THE WEEKEND.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH THURSDAY/...
AS OF 115 PM EST ON WEDNESDAY...A TORNADO WATCH HAS BEEN ISSUED
ACROSS THE GSP COUNTY WARNING AREA WHICH IS EFFECTIVE UNTIL 8PM THIS
EVENING. PLEASE CHECK OUR LATEST WARNINGS/WATCHES/ADVISORIES FOR
DETAILED INFORMATION.

AS OF 1030 AM...REGIONAL RADARS INDICATE THAT A STRONG SQUALL LINE
WITH LONG HISTORY OF DAMAGING WINDS AND TORNADOES WAS STRETCHING
FROM CENTRAL ALABAMA TO EASTERN TN VALLEY. THE LATEST
RAP/NAM/HIRES-ARW AGREE THAT THIS LINE WILL REACH THE EXTREME
WESTERN NC MOUNTAINS BY 18Z (1PM EST). THEN IT WILL CROSS THE
WESTERN NC MOUNTAINS AND NORTHEAST GEORGIA THROUGH 21Z (4PM
EST)...UPSTATE SC AND NC FOOTHILLS 21Z-00Z (4PM-7PM EST)...NC
PIEDMONT INCLUDING THE METRO CHARLOTTE AREA 00Z-03Z (7PM-10PM EST).
STRONG S WINDS WILL CONTINUE ALONG AND AHEAD OF THIS LINE AND WILL
CONTINUE THE WIND WARNING OVER THE NC MOUNTAINS AND WIND ADVISORY
EAST OF THE MOUNTAINS THROUGH THE PERIOD. WE WILL SEE STRONG
STRAIGHT LINE THUNDERSTORM WIND DAMAGES AND A FEW TORNADOES ACROSS
MUCH OF THE AREA DURING THE PASSAGE OF THIS SQUALL LINE.

AS OF 815 AM...A TORNADO WATCH HAS BEEN ISSUED ACROSS NE
GEORGIA...WESTERN PORTIONS OF UPSTATE SC...AND WESTERN NC MOUNTAINS
WHICH IS EFFECTIVE UNTIL 4 PM EST. PLEASE CHECK OUR
WARNINGS/WATCHES/ADVISORIES SECTION BELOW.

AS OF 335 AM WED...THE MID LEVELS WILL REMAIN HIGHLY AMPLIFIED
THROUGH THE PERIOD...FEATURING A 590DM RIDGE OVER THE CARIBBEAN AND
A PROGRESSIVE L/W TROF ALONG AND EAST OF THE MISSISSIPPI VALLEY. AT
7Z...A STRONG SFC COLD FRONT WAS ROUGHLY JUST EAST OF THE
MISSISSIPPI RIVER. ALONG AND EAST OF THE FRONT...AN ACTIVE SQUALL
LINE IS PUSHING EAST...HIGHLIGHTED BY NUMEROUS TORNADO WATCHES. THE
ENVIRONMENT AHEAD OF THE FRONT...FEATURES DEEP RETURN FLOW FROM THE
GULF...TRANSPORTING SFC DEWPOINTS IN THE 60S AS FAR NORTH AS THE
SOUTHERN APPALACHIANS. OBSERVED TEMPERATURES ARE EQUALLY
IMPRESSIVE...WITH L70S INTO MIDDLE TN. HARD TO BELIEVE IN LATE
JANUARY. THE FRONT WILL SWEEP EAST TODAY...WITH THE GREATEST IMPACT
OVER THE FORECAST AREA THIS AFTERNOON AND EARLY THIS EVENING. GUSTY
WINDS...HEAVY RAIN...AND SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS MAY OVERLAP PORTIONS
OF THE FORECAST AREA MID TO LATE THIS AFTERNOON. FOLLOWING THE
FRONT...EQUALLY IMPRESSIVE COLD AIR ADVECTION WILL DROP TEMPERATURES
WELL BELOW FREEZING ACROSS THE MTNS LATE TONIGHT...YIELDING UPSLOPE
SNOW SHOWERS AND BLACK ICE.

WIND...THE LATEST KGSP VWP INDICATE 50 KTS AS LOW AS 5
KFT...APPROXIMATELY H85. THE RADAR OBSERVATION AGREES WITH THE
NAM12...WHICH PROGS THE AREA ON THE LEADING EDGE OF A BROAD FIELD OF
H85 WINDS OF 50 KTS OR GREATER. THE H85 WINDS WILL INCREASE AS THE
FRONT APPROACHES...REACHING AROUND 70 KTS DURING PEAK HEATING THIS
AFTERNOON. BELOW H85...THE LEVEL OF 50 KTS IS EXPECTED TO LOWER TO 3
KFT OR H9 BY 21Z. THESE WINDS WILL OCCUR ON THE WARM SIDE OF THE
FRONT...HOWEVER...MOMENTUM TRANSFER WITHIN CONVECTION AND DIURNAL
MIXING WILL RESULT IN GUSTY CONDITION AT THE SFC. GIVEN THE 50 KT
LEVEL LOWERING TO 3 KFT THIS AFTERNOON...MTN LOCATIONS REMAIN THE
MOST VULNERABLE TO DAMAGING WIND GUSTS. COUPLE THE HIGH WIND WITH
HEAVY RAIN AND SATURATE SOIL...TREE DAMAGE SHOULD BECOME COMMON
ACROSS NC MTNS AND RABUN COUNTY LATER TODAY. AREAS EAST OF THE MTNS
WILL SEE REGULAR GUSTS INTO THE U30KTS RANGE...ALSO WITH WET SOIL.
THE HIGH WIND WARNING AND WIND ADVISORY AREAS WILL REMAIN UNCHANGED.
DURING THE OVERNIGHT HOURS...WINDS WILL VEER WEST AND SPEEDS WILL
STEADILY DECREASE.

HEAVY RAIN...RECENT RADAR RAIN FALL ESTIMATES INDICATE THAT LITTLE
MORE THAN A .25 OF AN INCH TO .5 INCH HAS FALLEN ACROSS THE UPSLOPE
MTN AREAS THIS MORNING. HOWEVER...AS LLVL MOIST UPSLOPE FLOW
STRENGTHENS...SHRA SHOULD INCREASE ACROSS THE MTN AREAS. THE UPSLOPE
SHRA WILL GRADUALLY INTENSIFY AS THE H5 TROF AXIS APPROACHES THROUGH
THE DAY. QG VERTICAL VELOCITIES INCREASE TO AROUND 20 MB/HR BY 0Z.
THE COMBINATION OF LIFT ALONG COLD POOL...LLVL INSTABILITY...QG /
JET DIVERGENCE FORCING WILL SUPPORT A BROAD BAND OF SHRA/TSRA THIS
AFTERNOON. THIS BAND SHOULD PRODUCE A COUPLE OF HOURS OF HEAVY
DOWNPOURS ACROSS THE REGION OF A.M. RAINFALL. STORM TOTAL RAINFALL
MAY CONSERVATIVELY RANGE FROM 2 TO 2.5 INCHES WITHIN THE WATCH
AREA...EXCEEDING 1 HR FFG. WE WILL CONTINUE FLOOD WATCH UNCHANGED.

SVR WEATHER...A SQUALL LINE WITH A LONG HISTORY OF DAMAGING WINDS
AND TORNADOES WILL CROSS THE CWA THIS AFTERNOON AND EARLY THIS
EVENING. THE ENVIRONMENT ACROSS THE FORECAST AREA WILL FEATURE HIGH
SHEAR AND LOW CAPE...SUPPORTIVE OF QLCS STORM STRUCTURE. I WILL
ANTICIPATE THAT A FIELD OF CAPES WILL DEVELOP AHEAD OF THE LINE THIS
AFTERNOON...WITH VALUES REACHING 500 J/KG. LLVL WIND SPEEDS AND
VEERING LLVL FLOW WILL LIKELY REACH 0-1 KM HELICITY VALUES OF 300
M2/S2...SHEAR 25 M/2....SWEAT ABOVE 400. MESOSCALE MODELS INDICATE
THAT THE SQUALL LINE WILL FEATURE LEWP ACROSS THE FOOTHILLS AND
PIEDMONT LATE THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING. IN ADDITION...STRONG
MOTIONS UNDER THE CONVECTION MAY HAVE NO TROUBLE MIXING WINDS IN
EXCESS OF 50 KFTS FROM 3 KFT. WE WILL CONTINUE TO HIGHLIGHT THE
POTENTIAL FOR DAMAGING WINDS AND BRIEF TORNADOES IN THE HWO.

SNOW...FOLLOWING THE COLD FRONT...H85 TEMPS ARE FORECAST TO COOL TO
-10C ACROSS THE WEST FACING SLOPES. MOIST WEST H925 TO H850 WINDS
SHOULD SUPPORT -SHSN ACROSS THE TN BORDER COUNTIES. THIS PACKAGE
WILL FEATURE A LITTLE LATE ONSET OF SHSN GIVEN THE LATER ARRIVAL OF
FROPA TODAY. NEVERTHELESS...STRONG CAA...WEAK INSTABILITY...AND
DECENT MOISTURE SHOULD SUPPORT ACCUMULATING SNOW SHOWERS.
HOWEVER...WINDS REMAINS AROUND 30 TO 40 DEGREES BACKED FROM
PREFERRED DIRECTIONS. USING SLR AROUND 16 TO 1...SNOW ACCUMS ARE
FORECAST TO RANGE FROM 1 TO 2 INCHES. THE LIGHT SNOW ACCUMS
FOLLOWING HEAVY RAIN SHOULD KEEP THE PAVED SFCS WET. TEMPS FALLING
TO THE MID 20S WILL CREATE WIDESPREAD BLACK ICE AND FROZE SLUSH
THURSDAY MORNING...I WILL ISSUE A WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY TO
HIGHLIGHT.

&&

.SHORT TERM /THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY/...
AS OF NOON WEDNESDAY...THE SHORT RANGE WILL BE RELATIVELY TRANQUIL
AS WE REMAIN AT THE BOTTOM OF A BROAD UPPER LONG WAVE TROF THROUGH
THE PERIOD. A CLIPPER LIKE WAVE MOVING THROUGH THE TROF WILL PASS TO
THE NORTH THURSDAY NIGHT AND WILL DRIVE A REINFORCING COLD FRONT
ACROSS THE REGION. THE FRONT IS ACCOMPANIED BY A DECENT SLUG OF LOW
TO MID LEVEL MOISTURE THAT WILL GET RUN UP THE WESTERN SLOPES OF THE
MTNS BY SOME STRONG W TO NW FLOW AT 850MB. THIS SHOULD FORCE THE
DEVELOPMENT OF SNOW SHOWERS OVER THE MTNS MAINLY NEAR THE TN BORDER.
THE AIR MASS IS COLD ENOUGH THAT WHATEVER FALLS SHOULD BE ALL SNOW.
HARD TO SAY IF THE FRONT WILL BE STRONG ENOUGH FOR ANY OF THE SNOW
SHOWERS TO BREAK CONTAINMENT AND MOVE OUT E OF THE BLUE RIDGE...BUT
WITH THE UPPER SUPPORT BEING SO FAR TO THE N...THINK THE ANSWER IS
NO. THE PRECIP SHOULD BE FAIRLY SHORT LIVED AND WILL TAPER OFF
QUICKLY FRIDAY MORNING. AFTER THAT...SOME SHORT WAVE RIDGING WILL
CROSS THE REGION...SUPPORTING SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE...FOR FRIDAY AND
FRIDAY NIGHT. BY SATURDAY...THE NEXT WAVE DROPPING DOWN FROM THE NW
WILL APPROACH THE REGION...WITH AN INCREASE IN DEEPER MOISTURE AND
THE DEVELOPMENT OF SOME ISENTROPIC LIFT IN THE AFTERNOON. WILL START
TO INCREASE THE PRECIP CHANCES FROM THE WEST LATE IN THE DAY.

&&

.LONG TERM /SATURDAY NIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY/...
AS OF 1030 AM EST WEDNESDAY...THE MEDIUM RANGE SHOWS A SUBTLE
PATTERN CHANGE TOWARD THE EARLY PART OF NEXT WEEK. WE START OUT WITH
A BROAD UPPER TROF OVER EASTERN NORTH AMERICA. A SHORT WAVE DROPPING
DOWN INTO THE TROF WILL DRIVE A WEAK SYSTEM ACROSS THE REGION ON
SATURDAY NIGHT...TO WHICH THE GFS/ECMWF RESPOND WITH SOME LIGHT
PRECIP. A CHANCE OVER THE MTNS AND SLIGHT CHC E OF THE MTNS SHOULD
SUFFICE...AND THIS WOULD BE MAINLY LIGHT SNOW OVER THE MTNS AND
MAINLY RAIN OUTSIDE THE MTNS...BUT THIS HAS VERY LOW POTENTIAL TO BE
ANYTHING MORE THAN A MINOR EVENT. HIGH PRESSURE SHOULD BUILD BACK
ACROSS THE REGION FOR SUNDAY AND MONDAY. THE NEXT SYSTEM...AGAIN
RELATIVELY WEAK...WILL FOLLOW ON MONDAY NIGHT OR TUESDAY WITH A COLD
FRONTAL PASSAGE. THIS ONE ALSO HAS VERY LOW POTENTIAL AND WAS
HANDLED WITH ANOTHER ROUND OF CHC OR SLIGHT CHC POP FOR RAIN/SNOW
MAINLY OVER THE MTNS AND FOOTHILLS. THE GFS SHOWS THIS FRONT COMING
BACK NORTH AND REACTIVATING AS A WARM FRONT ON WEDNESDAY...BUT THIS
WAS DISREGARDED FOR THE TIME BEING AS THE ECMWF WAS DRY. TEMPS
SHOULD BE A BIT ABOVE NORMAL FOR THE PERIOD.

&&

.AVIATION /19Z WEDNESDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...
AT KCLT AND ELSEWHERE...LATEST REGIONAL RADARS INDICATE THAT A
STRONG SQUALL LINE WAS STRETCHING FROM NW GEORGIA TO EXTREME WESTERN
NC MOUNTAINS. THIS LINE IS EXPECTED TO CROSS THE WESTERN NC
MOUNTAINS AND NORTHEAST GEORGIA THROUGH 22Z...UPSTATE SC AND NC
FOOTHILLS 22Z-01Z...AND NC PIEDMONT INCLUDING KCLT 02Z-05Z. STRONG S
WINDS OF 20-30KT WILL CONTINUE AHEAD OF THIS LINE ALONG WITH STRONG
LOW LEVEL WIND SHEAR ACROSS MUCH OF THE REGION. MVFR CEILINGS WILL
CONTINUE THIS AFTERNOON INTO THE EVENING HOURS BEFORE LIFTING TO VFR
TONIGHT AS THE STRONG COLD FRONT ASSOCIATED WITH SQUALL LINE MOVES
OFF TO THE EAST. WIND GUSTS TO +45MPH...FREQUENT LIGHTNINGS AND
HEAVY DOWNPOUR WILL OCCUR DURING THE PASSAGE OF THE SQUALL LINE.
CONDITIONS WILL IMPROVE TO VFR BEHIND THE FRONT WITH WINDS VEERING
FROM S/SW TO W/NW. WITH DRY CANADIAN HIGH PRESSURE BUILD IN FROM THE
WEST ON THURSDAY...VFR CONDITIONS WILL PREVAIL WITH W/NW WINDS OF
15-20KTS THROUGH 18Z THU FOR ALL TERMINALS.

OUTLOOK...DRY HIGH PRESSURE WILL BEGIN TO BUILD OVER THE REGION ON
THURSDAY...BECOMING CENTERED OVER THE CWA BY SATURDAY MORNING.
CONDITIONS SHOULD FAVOR VFR...WITH MORNING VALLEY FOG POSSIBLE.
