AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE GREENVILLE-SPARTANBURG SC
1251 PM EST WED NOV 27 2013
.SYNOPSIS...
AS SURFACE LOW PRESSURE MOVES UP THE ATLANTIC COAST TODAY...COLDER
AIR WILL WRAP AROUND BEHIND THE LOW RESULTING IN MOUNTAIN SNOW
SHOWERS BEFORE ALL PRECIPITATION ENDS TONIGHT. 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 /UNTIL 6 PM THIS EVENING/...
AS OF 1120 AM EST...THE DEFORMATION ZONE AREA OF PRECIPITATION IS
WEAKENING AS SHOWN BY THE RAPIDLY WARMING CLOUD TOPS ON THE IR
SATELLITE IMAGERY AND THE INCREASING DISORGANIZATION OF THE
ASSOCIATED BAND OF PCPN EVIDENT ON REGIONAL RADARS. AREAS OF LIGHT
TO MODERATE SNOW WILL STILL CONTINUE ACROSS THE CHARLOTTE METRO AREA
FOR ANOTHER HOUR OR SO...THOUGH ACCUMULATIONS SHOULD BE ISOLATED AND
QUITE LIGHT. REFLECTIVITIES ARE PICKING UP ALONG THE TN LINE. CLOUD
TOP TEMPS HAVE COOLED TO AROUND -18 DEG C ALONG THE TN LINE WHICH
SHOULD SUPPORT ACCUMULATING SNOW SHOWERS THROUGH THE AFTERNOON
HOURS. THEREFORE THE WINTER STORM WARNING ALONG THE TN LINE STILL
LOOKS GOOD AND I/LL LET THAT RUN. I/LL ALSO KEEP THE WINTER WEATHER
ADVISORY ACROSS THE REST OF THE NC MOUNTAINS...BUT IT WILL JUST BE
FOR BLACK ICE AT THIS POINT.
AS OF 840 AM EST...UPDATED THE GRIDS TO REFLECT SLIGHTLY HIGHER
SNOWFALL TOTALS ACROSS THE SOUTHERN NORTH CAROLINA MOUNTAINS WHERE A
NARROW SNOW BAND MAY DROP A QUICK HALF INCH TO INCH OF SNOW. EVEN
PARTS OF THE SOUTH CAROLINA MOUNTAINS SHOULD SEE A LITTLE
ACCUMULATION CLOSE TO THE NORTH CAROLINA LINE. WINDS ARE PICKING UP
ACROSS THE FRENCH BROAD VALLEY. THE 0.5 DEG BASE VELOCITY PRODUCT
FROM THE KGSP-WSR88D IS SHOW 50-60 KT WINDS ACROSS THE UPPER FRENCH
BROAD VALLEY AND NORTHERN GREENVILLE COUNTY. BASED ON THE OUTPUT
FROM OUR WORKSTATION WRF...STRONG WINDS SHOULD BE DEVELOPING ALONG
THE BLUE RIDGE FROM POLK COUNTY NORTHWARD TO CALDWELL COUNTY AT THIS
TIME AS WELL. POWER OUTAGES IN HENDERSON COUNTY HAVE SPIKED UP TO
2000. WE HAVEN/T HAD MANY REPORTS OF SIGNIFICANT SNOW ACCUMULATION
YET ALONG THE NC LINE. HOWEVER...AS NW FLOW INCREASES AND H8 TEMPS
FALL...WE SHOULD START TO SEE OROGRAPHICALLY DRIVEN SNOWFALL
INCREASE ALONG THE STATE LINE.
AS OF 645 AM...FRONTOGENETICALLY FORCED PRECIP/DEFORMATION ZONE
CONTINUES TO NARROW...AS POTENT SOUTHERN STREAM SHORT WAVE TROUGH
CONTINUES TO PHASE INTO THE NORTHERN STREAM. CONCENTRATED AREA OF
HIGH RADAR REFLECTIVITY (OF WHICH MELTING/BRIGHT-BANDING IS AT LEAST
PARTIALLY RESPONSIBLE)...CONTINUES TO MOVE ACROSS CENTRAL GA
ATTM...MORE OR LESS ON A TRAJECTORY TO PASS SOUTH OF OUR CWA.
NEVERTHELESS...BANDS OF PRECIP COULD PRODUCE HOURLY RAINFALL AMOUNTS
OF UP TO A TENTH/MOUNTAIN SNOWFALL OF AN INCH AS THEY MOVE ACROSS
THE AREA THIS MORNING. HOWEVER...THE SYNOPTIC COMPONENT OF THIS
EVENT IS WINDING DOWN OVER THE MOUNTAINS...AND WILL TRANSITION TO A
PURELY NW FLOW EVENT BY LATE MORNING. OUTSIDE THE MTNS...AS THE
LOWER LEVELS CONTINUE TO COOL...A PERIOD OF -SN WILL BE
POSSIBLE...IF NOT LIKELY ALONG THE BACK EDGE OF THE PRECIP SHIELD.
STILL CANNOT RULE OUT A LOCALIZED DUSTING...OR PERHAPS EVEN
MEASURABLE SNOWFALL ACROSS THE FOOTHILLS AND PIEDMONT.
AS OF 345 AM...THE BEST FORCING ASSOCIATED WITH THE MID-LEVEL
DEFORMATION ZONE IS OCCURRING ACROSS EAST-CTRL AL/WEST-CTRL
GEORGIA...WHERE MODERATE TO HEAVY PRECIP IS OCCURRING ATTM. AS THE
SOUTHERN STREAM WAVE CONTINUES ITS PHASING WITH THE NORTHERN
STREAM...THE SHORT TERM MODELS INDICATE WEAKENING OF THIS FORCING
WITH ATTENDANT WEAKENING OF THE PRECIP BANDS AS IT LIFTS NORTHEAST
TOWARD THE CAROLINAS. NEVERTHELESS...WESTERN AREAS SHOULD SEE
SEVERAL MORE HOURS OF BANDED PRECIP. STRONG COLD ADVECTION IS
UNDERWAY ACROSS THE HIGH TERRAIN...AND SNOW LEVELS WILL FALL QUICKLY
THROUGHOUT THE MORNING. IT STILL APPEARS THAT MOST AREAS ACROSS THE
NC MTNS WILL SEE SOME MEASURABLE SNOW...WITH THE HIGHEST AMOUNTS
OCCURRING OVER THE HIGH TERRAIN NEAR THE TENN BORDER. HOWEVER...
MESOSCALE PRECIP BANDS COULD DUMP A COUPLE OF INCHES OF SNOW IN JUST
ABOUT ANY AREA OVER A VERY SHORT PERIOD...SO CONFIDENCE IN THIS
MORNING/S ACCUMS IS NOT ESPECIALLY HIGH. WINTER WX PRODUCTS WILL BE
ACCEPTED AS IS FOR THE TIME BEING. AREAS EAST OF THE MTNS ARE NOT
OUT OF THE WOODS FOR SEEING A PERIOD OF MEASURABLE SNOW THIS
MORNING...BUT AGAIN IT/S VERY DIFFICULT TO ASCERTAIN WHERE...IF
ANYWHERE MEASURABLE SNOW WILL FALL. REGARDLESS...IN LIGHT OF THE
WEAKENING DEFORMATION ZONE...THE VAST MAJORITY OF THE PIEDMONT/
FHILLS SHOULD SEE A FEW FLAKES AT BEST.
WITH THE TROUGH AXIS SWINGING EAST OF THE AREA DURING THE
AFTERNOON...MOISTURE DEPTHS WILL PLUMMET ACROSS THE NC MTNS...BUT
WITH STRONG NW WINDS CONTINUING...NW FLOW SNOW SHOWERS WILL CONTINUE
THROUGH THE AFTERNOON ALONG THE TENN BORDER. DESPITE THE SHALLOW
MOISTURE...VERY COLD TEMPS IN THE MOIST LAYER WILL COMBINE WITH
STRONG NW FLOW TO PRODUCE ADDITIONAL LIGHT ACCUMS IN THE USUAL NW
FLOW AREAS THROUGH THE AFTERNOON.
IT STILL APPEARS THAT WINDS WILL NOT QUITE REACH HIGH WIND WARNING
CRITERIA THIS AFTERNOON ACROSS THE NC MTNS. HOWEVER...THE SATURATED
SOIL CONDITIONS WILL RENDER TREES BEING SUSCEPTIBLE TO FALLING EVEN
IN MARGINAL ADVISORY-LEVEL CONDITIONS. WIND PRODUCTS WILL BE
CONTINUED AS IS.
&&
.SHORT TERM /6 PM THIS EVENING THROUGH FRIDAY NIGHT/...
AS OF 245 AM EST WEDNESDAY...THE SHORT RANGE FORECAST COVERS THE
PERIOD FROM 0Z THURS THROUGH 12Z SAT. THIS EVENING...STRONG AND
GUSTY NW WINDS WILL CONTINUE ACROSS THE MTNS...WITH A SERIES OF GAP
WINDS ACROSS THE FOOTHILLS AND WESTERN PIEDMONT. THE NORTHWEST WINDS
WILL CONTINUE TO SUPPORT NUM TO SCT SNOW SHOWERS ACROSS THE
TENNESSEE BORDER COUNTIES UNTIL MIDNIGHT. AFTER MIDNIGHT...FORECAST
SOUNDINGS INDICATE THAT LLVL MOISTURE WILL QUICKLY DISSOLVE...ENDING
ANY ACCUMULATING SNOW. USING A BLEND OF MOS...LOW TEMPERATURES
SHOULD RANGE FROM THE TEENS ACROSS THE RIDGES TO THE LOW 20S
ELSEWHERE. HIGH ELEVATIONS SHOULD SEE WIND CHILL VALUES IN THE LOW
SINGLE DIGITS TO AROUND ZERO DURING THE PRE DAWN HOURS.
THANKSGIVING...WEATHER WILL BEGIN TO IMPROVE ACROSS THE REGION. BY
THE AFTERNOON...THE CENTER OF SFC HIGH PRESSURE WILL BUILD OVER THE
SOUTHERN APPALACHIANS WITH NEARLY ZONAL FLOW WITHIN THE MID LEVELS.
THE ARRIVAL OF THE HIGH SHOULD RESULT IN BACKING WINDS FROM THE
WEST...SPEEDS BECOMING LIGHT. MOS AND FORECAST SOUNDINGS
INDICATE THAT THE SKY WILL RANGE FROM SUNNY TO MOSTLY SUNNY. COLD
LLVL THICKNESSES WILL BEGIN TO MODIFY...LIMITING HIGH TEMPERATURES
TO THE LOWER TO MID 40S. TEMPERATURES ACROSS THE TN BORDER SNOWPACK
WILL LIKELY REMAIN IN THE 30S.
THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY NIGHT...A DRY BACK DOOR COLD FRONT
SHOULD SLIDE ACROSS THE MID APPALACHIANS AND BECOME NEARLY
STATIONARY. THE CWA WILL REMAIN SOUTH OF THE BOUNDARY...RESULTING IN
RETURN FLOW AT H85. TEMPERATURES WILL GRADUALLY WARM THROUGH THE
PERIOD. IN FACT...HIGH TEMPERATURES ON FRIDAY SHOULD RANGE AROUND 10
DEGREES WARMER THAN VALUES OBSERVED ON THANKSGIVING.
&&
.LONG TERM /SATURDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...
AS OF 240 AM EST WEDNESDAY...THE MEDIUM RANGE BEGINS 12Z SATURDAY
WITH HIGH PRESSURE CENTERED OVER NEW ENGLAND AND RIDGING DOWN THE
EAST COAST. PREVIOUS MODEL RUNS HAD A FETCH OF LOW LEVEL WIND
COMING OFF THE ATLANTIC WITH A SE TO NW DIRECTION TOWARD OUR MTNS
WHICH WOULD CREATE AN UPSLOPE EFFECT. MORE RECENT RUNS ARE NOT AS
CERTAIN WITH THIS MOIST FETCH AND IS NOW MORE VARIABLE. THE FLOW
AROUND THE BASE OF THE HIGH DOES BECOME MORE DIFFUSE AND THE GFS IS
MUCH DRIER IN THE LATE SUNDAY INTO EARLY MONDAY PART OF THE
FORECAST. THE ECMWF AND CANADIAN HAVE VARIOUS BATCHES OF PRECIP
SOMEWHERE AROUND OUR AREA SUNDAY AND SUNDAY NIGHT. AT THIS
POINT...DID NOT WANT TO TAKE SLIGHT POPS COMPLETELY OUT FOR SUNDAY
AND SUNDAY NIGHT. ON MONDAY...THE SOUTHERN STREAM SHORTWAVE WILL
BRING MOST OF THE PRECIP FROM THE MISSISSIPPI RIVER TO SC ON MONDAY.
THE GFS HAS A MORE WELL DEFINED LOW AND AREA OF PRECIP COMPARED TO
THE OTHER MODELS. DRYING OUT ON TUESDAY. TEMPERATURES ABOUT 10
DEGREES BELOW NORMAL SATURDAY AND SUNDAY UNDER THE UPPER TROUGH AND
WARMING TO JUST ABOUT A CATEGORY BELOW NORMAL TUESDAY WITH SOME
UPPER RIDGING CROSSING THE AREA THROUGH MID WEEK.
&&
.AVIATION /18Z WEDNESDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...
AT KCLT...BY 18 UTC THE RAIN/SNOW MIX SHOULD BE JUST ABOUT OVER AT
THE AIRFIELD. DRIER AIR AND DOWNSLOPE FLOW WITH CAUSE THE CLOUDS TO
RAPIDLY LIFT WITH CIGS SCATTERING OUT BETWEEN 19-20 UTC. WINDS WILL
BE OUT OF THE NORTHWEST THE REST OF THE AFTN...GUSTING UP TO 24 KTS
AT TIMES. WINDS WILL GRADUALLY DIMINISH TONIGHT AS HIGH PRESSURE
BUILDS INTO THE REGION.
AT KAVL...VERY WINDY CONDITIONS WITH OCCASIONAL SNOW SHOWERS WILL
CONTINUE THROUGH THE LATE AFTERNOON HOURS AT THE AIRFIELD.
CONDITIONS WILL IMPROVE LATER THIS EVENING AS THE GRADIENT WEAKENS
ACROSS THE REGION.
ELSEWHERE...DOWNSLOPE FLOW AND DRIER AIR MOVING IN BEHIND A COLD
FRONT HAS CAUSED CIGS TO SCATTER OUT AND LIFT INTO THE VFR RANGE AT
MOST SITES. SCT CLOUDS UP AROUND 4000 FEET WILL LINGER THROUGH THE
AFTERNOON WITH SKIES BECOMING CLEAR THIS EVENING. AS MIXING DEEPENS
THIS AFTN...WINDS WILL GUST UP TO 25 KTS FROM THE NORTHWEST. WINDS
ACROSS THE REGION WILL GRADUALLY DIMINISH THIS EVENING AS HIGH
PRESSURE BUILDS IN FROM THE WEST.
OUTLOOK...VFR CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED INTO THE WEEKEND.
