AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE GREENVILLE-SPARTANBURG SC
1011 AM EST SAT NOV 23 2013

.SYNOPSIS...
AN ARCTIC COLD FRONT WILL CROSS THE AREA FROM THE NORTHWEST TODAY
AND USHER IN WELL BELOW NORMAL TEMPERATURES FOR SUNDAY. THE HIGH
WILL LINGER AND MODIFY WARMER MONDAY...BEFORE A MOIST GULF OF MEXICO
LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM AFFECTS THE REGION TUESDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...
AS OF 1000 AM EST SATURDAY...EARLY MORNING DENSE FOG HAS ALL BUT
ERODED AT THIS TIME WITH SOME LIGHT VISIBILITY RESTRICTIONS STILL
PRESENT ACROSS PORTIONS OF THE WESTERN UPSTATE.  HOWEVER...THOSE
RESTRICTIONS SHOULD IMPROVE SHORTLY.  ADJUSTED POPS AND SKY GRIDS
IN THE NEAR TERM TO REFLECT LATEST OBS/SATELLITE TRENDS.  THE
LARGEST CHANGE FROM THE PREVIOUS FORECAST IS DUE TO NEW GUIDANCE
INDICATING ADVISORY CRITERIA WIND GUSTS LATE THIS AFTERNOON AND
EVENING ACROSS THE HIGH TERRAIN AS STRONG COLD ADVECTION PREVAILS.
THUS...WILL ISSUE WIND ADVISORY FOR THIS REGION THROUGH 17Z SUNDAY.
OTHERWISE...WILL CONTINUE TO MONITOR POSSIBLE WIND CHILL EXTREMES
FOR THE SAME REGION WHICH COULD WARRANT ISSUANCE OF WIND CHILL
ADVISORY LATER IN THE DAY.  NO OTHER SIGNIFICANT CHANGES WERE MADE
AT THIS TIME.

PREVIOUS DISCUSSION...

AS OF 3 AM...LATEST SFC OBSERVATIONS...SATELLITE IMAGES...AND RADAR
VELOCITY INDICATES THAT THE SFC COLD FRONT WAS LOCATED EAST OF THE
SC MTNS...NE BETWEEN KHKY AND KSVH. SATELLITE AND SFC OBSERVATION
INDICATE WIDESPREAD LOW CLOUDS AND FOG EXISTED ALONG AND AHEAD OF
THE FRONT. THE FRONT IS EXPECTED TO PUSH EAST THIS MORNING...EXITING
THE NC PIEDMONT DURING THE PRE DAWN HOURS AND THE UPPER SAVANNAH
RIVER VALLEY AN HOUR OR TWO AFTER SUNRISE. WAVES OF LIGHT RAIN TO
DRIZZLE WILL LIKELY CONTINUE ALONG AND AHEAD OF THE FRONT. WINDS
WILL VEER FROM THE NORTH-NORTHWEST THIS MORNING...RESULTING IN THE
EROSION OF LOW CLOUDS AND LIGHT RAIN IN THE LEE OF THE MTNS EARLY
THIS MORNING. HOWEVER...MODELS RETAIN A FIELD OF LOWER MOISTURE
ACROSS THE EASTERN FOOTHILLS AND PIEDMONT INTO THE EARLY TO MID
AFTERNOON. A PASSING S/W MAY SUPPORT A FEW -SHRA EAST OF THE
FOOTHILLS EARLY THIS AFTERNOON. THE TIMING OF CLOUDS AND CAA...ALONG
WITH DEVELOPMENT OF DOWNSLOPE FLOW...RESULTS IN A CHALLENGING HIGH
TEMPERATURE FORECAST. I WILL FORECAST MID 40S ACROSS THE RIDGES TO
MID 50S IN THE VALLEYS...EAST U50S EXPECTED ACROSS I-40 TO MID 60S
ACROSS THE UPPER SAVANNAH RIVER VALLEY.

TONIGHT...MODELS SHOW PROGRESSIVE CLEARING ACROSS THE FORECAST AREA
EARLY THIS EVENING. IN FACT...SKY CONDITIONS SHOULD BECOME MOSTLY
CLEAR BY LATE TONIGHT. THE PRIMARY FORECAST CONCERN WILL BE THE
PLACEMENT AND TIMING OF GAP WINDS. STEADY CAA AND PRESSURE GRADIENT
RANGING FROM 5-8 MBS...HIGH CENTERED OVER THE CENTRAL CONUS. A
SERIES OF GAP WINDS SHOULD DEVELOP DURING THE EARLY EVENING ACROSS
THE GREENVILLE-SPARTANBURG AREA...AND ACROSS TYPICAL NC FOOTHILL
AREAS. GAP WINDS MAY CONTINUE THROUGH MOST OF TONIGHT...STRONGEST
GUSTS BETWEEN 1-8Z. GUSTS SHOULD RANGE NEAR 30 MPH WITHIN THE UPPER
FRENCH BROAD VALLEY...WITH 20-25 MPH WITHIN THE DOWNWIND GAP WIND
AREAS. LOW TEMPERATURES ARE FORECAST TO RANGE FROM THE TEENS ACROSS
THE RIDGES TO LOW TO MID 20S WITHIN THE MTN VALLEYS...I-40 CORRIDOR
MAY RANGE IN THE MID 20S...WITH AROUND 30 DEGREES ACROSS THE UPPER
SAVANNAH RIVER VALLEY.

&&

.SHORT TERM /SUNDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...
AS OF 200 AM EST SATURDAY...THE SHORT TERM WILL BE LARGELY A
TRANSITIONAL PERIOD...ONE MARKED BY VERY COLD AND DRY CONDITIONS...
AS ARCTIC HIGH PRESSURE SHIFTS EAST ACROSS THE REGION. DESPITE SUNNY
CONDITIONS...MAX TEMPS SUNDAY AFTERNOON WILL BE ABOUT 20 DEGREES
BELOW CLIMO...WITH MANY MOUNTAIN VALLEY LOCATIONS STRUGGLING TO
CLIMB ABOVE FREEZING. WINDS WILL BE VERY GUSTY IN THE MORNING...ESP
OVER THE MTNS...BUT A RELAXING GRADIENT WILL RESULT IN GRADUALLY
DIMINISHING WINDS THROUGHOUT THE DAY.

IT APPEARS LIKELY THAT HIGH/MID LEVEL CLOUDS WILL BEGIN INCREASING
AT SOME POINT SUNDAY NIGHT IN ADVANCE OF A MAJOR SOUTHERN STREAM
STORM SYSTEM. THIS IS PROBABLY THE ONLY FACTOR THAT WILL PREVENT
WIDESPREAD MIN TEMPS IN THE TEENS MONDAY MORNING. AS SUCH...EXPECT
THE SUB-20S TO BE LIMITED TO THE MTNS AND PORTIONS OF THE NC
PIEDMONT.

DESPITE DEVELOPING SOUTHERLY FLOW AND RISING HEIGHTS ALOFT...MONDAY
WILL NOT BE SIGNIFICANTLY WARMER THAN SUNDAY (EXCEPT PERHAPS OVER
THE MTNS)...OWING LARGELY TO THE EXTENSIVE SHIELD OF HIGH/MID-LEVEL
CLOUDS THAT IS ANTICIPATED TO COVER THE AREA BY AFTERNOON.

&&

.LONG TERM /MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY/...
AS OF 250 AM SATURDAY...A COMPLEX WEATHER PATTERN IS STILL WELL
ADVERTISED FOR MON NIGHT THROUGH THE DAY WED. THE MODELS ARE WAFTING
WITH THE USUAL TIMING/MAGNITUDE DIFFERENCES...BUT ALL IN ALL THERE
IS DECENT AGREEMENT WITH THE EXPECTED PATTERN. A SETUP WHICH WILL
FEATURE A COLD/DRY MODIFIED CA AIRMASS HYBRID CAD INTERACTING WITH A
MOIST MILLER/A TYPE SFC LOW AND A LIKELY ULVL CLOSED LOW.

WILL ANTICIPATE A VERY DRY SFC LAYER IN PLACE MON NIGHT WITH TD/S IN
THE SINGLE DIGITS EARLY ACROSS THE FAVORED CAD REGION...MODIFYING TO
AROUND 20 F BY 12Z. THIS IS ON THE HIGHER END OF GUIDANCE AND
IN/LINE MORESO WITH THE ECMWF/CMC MASS FIELDS. THUS...THERE IS THE
POTENTIAL FOR AN EVEN DRIER AIRMASS TO BEGIN THE PERIOD. IN ANY
CASE...GOOD GOM MOISTURE FLUX WILL COMBINE WITH AN ATL FETCH
OVERNIGHT AND SATURATE THE CAD BOUNDARY IN ISENT ASCENT WHILE
BRINGING IN A DECENT WARM NOSE. A LOOK AT SFC TW/S AND THERMAL
PROFILES INDICATE A GOOD POTENTIAL FOR -FZRA ACROSS THE BLUE RIDGE
AND NC FTHILLS...WHILE THE NC MTNS SHOULD SEE MORE OF A WINTRY MIX
OF IP/SN THROUGH 12Z. AMOUNTS SHOULD BE LOW END THROUGH DAYBREAK BUT
IF THE CAD STRENGTHENS AND MAINTAINS LOW TD/S...THEN THERE COULD
BE SOME MODEST ICE ACCUMS AS THE PRECIP INTENSITY INCREASE AFT 12Z.
TOO EARLY TO TELL WHAT TYPE OF LLVL THERMAL TRANSITION IS FAVORED
JUST YET...HOWEVER...THIS WILL BE A WX SITUATION TO KEEP AN EYE ON
FOR EARLY MORNING TRAVELING/ACTIVITIES.

THE ATMOS WARMS RATHER WELL DURING THE DAY IN GOOD WAA...BUT WITH
THE HIGH CAD CLOUDINESS AND EARLY COLD START...MAX TEMPS WILL
STRUGGLE TO WARM UP 10 DEGREES FROM THE MORNING LOWS OF AROUND
FREEZING. EXPECT WIDESPREAD PRECIP COVERAGE AND STEADY/MODEST
AMOUNTS OF RAINFALL DURING THE DAY WITH THE HIGHER AMOUNTS ACROSS
THE SRN AND ERN ZONES WHILE THE GULF LOW CONTINUES TO TRACK NE
ACROSS SRN GA. PRECIP COVERAGE AND INTENSITY WILL TAPER OFF TUE
NIGHT AS THE FA BECOMES SITUATED IN THE BACK SIDE OF THE SFC LOW
ADVANCING OFF THE MID ATL COAST. THERE LOOKS TO BE A GOOD SHOT OF
LLVL DRY AIR MIXING INTO THE WRN NC MTNS AS THE PRECIP WANES EARLY
WED...WHICH COULD BRING MORE ICY PRECIP...ESP ACROSS THE NRN MTNS
THROUGH MID MORNING.

MOISTURE LEVELS WANE RATHER QUICKLY ACROSS THE MTN ZONES WED AND
LLVL N/LY FLOW WILL NOT BE FAVORABLE FOR MUCH NW FLOW SNOW...YET A
FEW HRS OF -SNSH IS POSSIBLE BEFORE NOON. THE OP MODELS ARE STILL
HOLDING ONTO THE IDEA OF A MOIST DEFORMATION ZONE LINGERING OVER THE
THE SE/RN HALF OF THE FCST AREA WED...SO POPS WERE MAINTAINED IN THE
HIGHER END CHANCE RANGE THROUGH AROUND 18Z. COLD MAX TEMPS WILL
CONTINUE WED WITH THE PRECIP AND CLOUD COVER...AND EXPECT SIMILAR
MAXES OF AROUND 15 DEGREES BELOW NORMAL THU/FRI WHEN ANOTHER
CANADIAN HIGH ENVELOPES THE EAST COAST AND KEEPS THE SFC FLOW DRY
AND N/LY.

&&

.AVIATION /15Z SATURDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
AT KCLT...AT 1130Z...DENSE FOG AND LOW CLOUDS WAS WIDESPREAD ACROSS
THE CAROLINA FOOTHILLS AND PIEDMONT. THE DENSE FOG SHOULD LINGER
UNTIL 13Z. HOWEVER...IFR CEILINGS MAY LINGER UNTIL 14Z. AT
1130Z...TCLT INDICATED SEVERAL LIGHT SHOWERS AND DRIZZLE ON THE EAST
SIDE OF THE CLT METRO AREA. A COLD FRONT IS EXPECTED TO SLIDE EAST
ACROSS THE PIEDMONT THIS MORNING...RESULTING IN NE WINDS BY 13Z.
WINDS WILL VEER NORTHEAST BY 14Z...CLOUDS BASES MAY LIFT TO VFR. NORTH
TO NORTHEAST WINDS WILL CONTINUE THROUGH THE REST OF THE TAF PERIOD
AS HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS ACROSS THE REGION. FORECAST SOUNDINGS AND

LINGER UNTIL 13Z. HOWEVER...IFR CEILINGS MAY LINGER UNTIL 14Z. A
COLD FRONT IS EXPECTED TO SLIDE EAST ACROSS THE PIEDMONT THIS
MORNING...RESULTING IN NE WINDS BY 13Z. AT KGSP...KGMU...AND KAND
     WINDS WILL BACK NORTH BY MID DAY...CLOUDS BASES MAY LIFT TO VFR.
NORTH TO NORTHEAST WINDS WILL CONTINUE THROUGH THE REST OF THE TAF
PERIOD AS HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS ACROSS THE REGION. FORECAST SOUNDINGS
AND MOS SUPPORTS CLOUDY CONDITIONS...BASES BETWEEN 035-045. CLOUD
COVER WILL DECREASE STEADILY AFTER SUNSET. BY LATE EVENING...GUSTY
NORTH WINDS SHOULD DEVELOP ACROSS THE REGION...REMAINING THROUGH
12Z. KGSP AND KGMU WILL LIKELY SEE GUSTY GAP WINDS DEVELOP AFTER
SUNSET AND REMAIN THROUGH 6Z. KAVL SHOULD SEE NORTH WIND GUSTS ABOVE
20 KTS BY 19Z...INCREASING TO NEAR 30 KTS BY 2Z.

OUTLOOK...A MUCH DRIER AIRMASS WILL PUSH ACROSS THE REGION THROUGH
MONDAY. HOWEVER...GUSTY NW WINDS WILL DEVELOP ACROSS THE REGION SAT
AFTERNOON AND REMAIN THROUGH SUNDAY
AFTERNOON...ESPECIALLY ACROSS THE MTNS. RESTRICTIONS WILL LIKELY
RETURN BY MIDWEEK AS ANOTHER STRONG UPPER LEVEL DISTURBANCE AFFECTS
THE REGION.
