AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE GREENVILLE-SPARTANBURG SC
315 AM EST TUE MAR 5 2013
.SYNOPSIS...
A LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM WILL PASS OVER THE AREA TONIGHT AND EARLY
WEDNESDAY BRINGING RAIN AND SNOW SHOWERS TO THE WESTERN CAROLINAS.
DRIER HIGH PRESSURE WILL RETURN IN ITS WAKE AND LINGER THROUGH THE
WEEKEND.
&&
.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...
AS OF 300 AM EST...WATER VAPOR IMAGERY SHOWS AN UPPER LOW PRESSURE
CENTER DEEPENING AS IT MOVES SE OVER THE UPPER MIDWEST EARLY THIS
MORNING. OTHER THAN SOME PASSING VIRGA FROM HIGH BASED
CLOUDS...REGIONAL RADARS SHOW LITTLE PRECIPITATION IN THE RETURNING
MOISTURE WELL AHEAD OF THIS SYSTEM SO FAR...ALTHOUGH LIGHT RAIN IS
STARTING TO FILL IN OVER CENTRAL TN. THERE COULD BE A VERY BRIEF
PERIOD OF OVERLAP OF COOLER MTN FREEZING TEMPS WITH THE ONSET OF
LIGHT RAIN THIS MORNING...BUT ONLY VERY PATCHY LIGHT ICING WOULD
RESULT AND NO HAZARDS WITH THIS UNTIL TEMPS CAN WARM ABOVE FREEZING
TODAY.
IMPROVING LOW LEVEL UPGLIDE MOISTURE WILL THEN STEADILY INCREASE
ACROSS THE FORECAST AREA THROUGH THE DAY...WITH INCREASING/EXPANDING
POPS RESULTING. 850 MB WINDS WILL SLOWLY BACK AND STRENGTHEN BY LATE
AFTERNOON IN THE WARM SECTOR ACROSS THE REGION...AND SFC BASED
INSTABILITY WILL INCREASE ENOUGH BY LATE DAY TO WARRANT A SCHC TO
CHC TSTM MENTION OVER SRN SECTIONS...AND ALSO OVER THE WRN MTNS WITH
IMPROVING LAPSE RATES ALOFT. IN ADDITION...40 TO 50 KT OF LOW LEVEL
SHEAR WILL WARRANT AN ISOLD SEVERE THREAT MENTION TOWARD EVENING IN
THE SRN PIEDMONT...WITH BL HELICITY VALUES AT OR ABOVE 500 M2/S2
CROSSING THE REGION TOWARD 00Z.
THE STRONGEST 850 TO 500 MB DPVA SHOULD TRANSIT THE FORECAST AREA
MAINLY 00Z TO 06Z AHEAD OF THE DEEP H5 LOW PRES CENTER MOVING FROM
THE LOWER OH VALLEY THROUGH THE SRN APPALACHIANS. THE ASSOCIATED SFC
COLD FRONT WILL MOVE QUICKLY THROUGH THE REGION CENTERED AROUND
03Z...WITH PROFILES RAPIDLY BECOMING COLD ENOUGH TO SUPPORT SNOW
OVER THE HIGHER TERRAIN...AND THEN THROUGHOUT THE LOWEST VALLEYS
OVERNIGHT IN IMPROVING MOIST NW UPSLOPE FLOW. THE QUICK SHOT OF DEEP
EVENING MOISTURE WILL MOVE EAST OF THE AREA...WITH PROMINENT MID
LEVEL DRYING ARRIVING ACROSS THE FOOTHILLS AND PIEDMONT FROM THE SW
BY 06Z. HOWEVER...ADDITIONAL DEEPER MOISTURE WILL THEN WRAP SWD
BEHIND THE PASSING CYCLONE TOWARD DAYBREAK WED TO ADD TO SNOWFALL
TOTALS OVER THE WRN MTNS IN BLOSSOMING NW UPSLOPE FLOW IN THE VERY
COLD AIR. THE WINTER STORM WATCH WILL BE UPGRADED TO A
WARNING...WITH AN ADVISORY TIER ADDED FOR BUNCOMBE AND MACON. IN
ADDITION...EXPECT VERY WINDY CONDITIONS OVER THE MTNS WITH THE COLD
ADVECTION AND 50 KT OF 850 MB FLOW. WIND HAZARDS WILL BE WRAPPED
INTO THE WINTER STORM PRODUCTS...EXCEPT FOR A STANDALONE WIND
ADVISORY FOR MCDOWELL MTNS TO CALDWELL MTNS.
&&
.SHORT TERM /WEDNESDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/...
AS OF 3 AM MONDAY...BY 12Z WED...SHORT RANGE MODELS INDICATE THAT
THE H5 LOW WILL BE CENTERED OVER KGSO WITH THE SFC LOW CENTERED OVER
THE TIDEWATER OF VA. WED MORNING...LLVL FLOW ACROSS THE TN BORDER
COUNTIES OF NC IS EXPECTED TO FAVOR WNW DIRECTION...A LITTLE WEST OF
OPTIMAL NWFS GENERATION. HOWEVER...THE CLOSED LOW AND SFC LOW WILL
TRACK EAST DURING THE DAY...RESULTING IN VEERING LLVL FLOW ACROSS
THE FORECAST AREA. WIND DIRECTION AND SPEEDS ACROSS THE SOUTHERN
APPALACHIAN REGION ARE FORECAST TO BECOME VERY FAVORABLE FOR NWFS BY
MID DAY WEDNESDAY. FORECAST SOUNDINGS ACROSS NC MTNS AND EASTERN TN
SITES INDICATE THAT THE LAYER OF SATURATED AIR SHOULD EXTEND FROM
THE BL TO H65 EARLY WEDNESDAY...GRADUALLY FADING TO A H9 TO H75 BY
LATE AFTERNOON. BASED ON WIND TIMING...MOISTURE CONTENT...AND
TEMPERATURE PROFILES...CONDITIONS APPEAR VERY FAVORABLE FOR
ACCUMULATING NWFS WEDNESDAY MORNING UNTIL THE EARLY AFTERNOON.
DURING THIS TIME WINDOW...I WILL INDICATE HOURLY QPF AMOUNTS FROM
0.03 INCHES ALONG THE TN LINE. SLR VALUES OF 12 TO 14 TO 1 WILL
RESULT IN HOURLY SNOWFALL RATES FROM 0.25 TO 0.4 OF AN INCH ACROSS
THE FAVORED UPSLOPE AREAS. TOTAL DAYLIGHT SNOWFALL ACROSS THE MTNS
ON WEDNESDAY IS FORECAST TO RANGE FROM NEAR 4 INCHES ALONG THE SPINE
OF THE APPALACHIANS TO 1 TO 3 INCHES ACROSS THE TN BORDER COUNTIES.
IN ADDITION...WINDS ACROSS THE MTNS WILL BECOME QUITE GUSTY THROUGH
THE DAY...REACHING WIND ADVISORY CRITERIA LEVELS. EAST OF THE
MTNS...CONDITIONS WILL REMAIN BREEZY...DRY...WITH DECREASING SKY
COVER. HIGHS ARE FORECAST TO RANGE FROM NEAR 40 WITHIN THE MTN
VALLEYS TO NEAR 50 EAST.
WEDNESDAY NIGHT...ACCUMULATING SNOWFALL WILL GRADUALLY DISSIPATE
ACROSS THE NC MTNS AS MOISTURE AND WINDS DECREASE. HOWEVER...THE
FAVORED UPSLOPE AREAS MAY SEE AN ADDITIONAL INCH OF SNOW. MIN
TEMPERATURES ARE FORECAST TO RANGE FROM THE 20S ACROSS THE MTNS TO
AROUND FREEZING EAST. CANADIAN HIGH PRESSURE WILL BEGIN TO BUILD
OVER THE REGION ON THURSDAY. MID LEVEL HEIGHTS AND H85 TEMPERATURES
WILL SLOWLY INCREASE THROUGH THE DAY. THE COMBINATION OF GOOD
INSOLATION AND RISING THICKNESSES SHOULD ALLOW TEMPERATURES TO WARM
SIGNIFICANTLY FROM WEDNESDAY...BUT FALLING SHORT OF NORMALS BY 5 TO
7 DEGREES.
&&
.LONG TERM /THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH MONDAY/...
AS OF 215 AM EST TUESDAY...THE MEDIUM RANGE FCST PICKS UP AT 00Z ON
FRIDAY WITH A COMPLEX UPPER LOW GRADUALLY MOVING OFF THE NEW ENGLAND
COAST AND UPPER RIDGING MOVING OVER THE CAROLINAS. RIDGING IS
EXPECTED TO LINGER THRU MOST OF THE WEEKEND WHILE ANOTHER DEEP UPPER
TROF DRIFTS ACROSS THE WESTERN CONUS. THE LONG RANGE MODELS BEGIN TO
DIVERGE WRT TO THE EVOLUTION OF THIS TROF LATE IN THE WEEKEND WITH
THE ECMWF CLOSING OFF A VERY LARGE AND BROAD CLOSED H5 LOW AND VERY
GRADUALLY MOVING THE LOW TOWARDS THE FCST AREA. ANY IMPACTS ON OUR
SENSIBLE WX WOULD NOT BE SEEN UNTIL LATER NEXT WEEK. ON THE OTHER
HAND...THE MORE PROGRESSIVE GFS DOESNT QUITE CLOSE THE LOW OFF FROM
THE NORTHERN STREAM FLOW AND AS A RESULT...BRINGS A HEALTHY AMOUNT
OF H5 PVA TO OUR DOORSTEP BY LATE MONDAY INTO EARLY TUESDAY. FOR THE
TIME BEING...MOST OF THE GUIDANCE IS FAVORING A LESS PROGRESSIVE
SOLUTION WITH PERSISTENT UPPER RIDGING IN PLACE THRU DAY 7.
AT THE SFC...COOL CANADIAN HIGH PRESSURE MOVES BACK INTO THE AREA ON
THURS AND IS EXPECTED TO LINGER THRU THE WEEKEND. THE MODELS INDICATE
A LOW WILL DEEPEN EAST OF THE ROCKIES ON SUNDAY AND DRIFT EASTWARD
EARLY NEXT WEEK. THE SLOWER ECMWF SOLUTION KEEPS THE LOW AND ITS
COLD FRONT TO OUR WEST UNTIL THE VERY END OF THE PERIOD WHILE THE
FASTER GFS MOVES THE FRONT OVER THE CWFA ON MONDAY. EITHER WAY...LOW
LVL FLOW SHOULD BECOME MORE SLY AND MOISTEN BY EARLY NEXT WEEK AS
THE HIGH SLIDES FARTHER EAST. I HAVE POPS RAMPING UP TO SOLID CHANCE
OVER MOST OF THE CWFA BY TUES MORNING WITH THE HIGHEST VALUES OVER
THE WESTERN ZONES. OTHERWISE...THE PERIOD WILL BE DRY WITH TEMPS
WARMING THRU THE WEEKEND AND THEN LEVELING OFF EARLY NEXT WEEK. BY
SUNDAY...HIGHS ARE EXPECTED TO REACH THE MID 60S FOR THE LOWER
ELEVATIONS AND UPPER 50S TO LOWER 60S FOR THE HIGHER TERRAIN.

.AVIATION /08Z TUESDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/...
AT KCLT...ANTICIPATE MAINLY MID/HIGH CLOUDS THROUGH THE EARLY
MORNING HOURS...BUT WITH RAPIDLY LOWERING VFR CIGS THROUGH LATE
MORNING. RAIN OR SHOWER CHANCES WILL IMPROVE THROUGH THE AFTERNOON
AS UPGLIDE MOISTURE INCREASES. THERE IS ALSO SOME IMPROVING SFC
BASED INSTABILITY VERY LATE IN THE DAY...BUT WITH CONFIDENCE ON ANY
DEEPER CONVECTION TOO LOW TO MENTION ANY TSTMS AT PRESENT. EXPECT AT
LEAST MODERATE RAIN SHOWERS BY 20Z...WITH SOLID MVFR IF NOT TEMPO
IFR CONDITIONS. LIGHT SRLY WINDS THIS MORNING WILL SLOWLY INCREASE
THROUGH THE DAY...WITH GUSTS DEVELOPING THIS AFTERNOON AND
STRENGTHENING TOWARD EVENING.
AT KAVL...MID AND HIGH CLOUDS WILL TREND TO RAPIDLY LOWERING VFR
THIS MORNING...WITH LIGHT RAIN AND MVFR CIGS DEVELOPING BY AROUND
15Z. THERE IS A VERY SMALL CHANCE THAT TEMPS NEAR THE FREEZING MARK
COULD LINGER AS THE LIGHT RAIN GETS STARTED...BUT CONFIDENCE IS TOO
LOW TO MENTION ANY LIGHT FZRA IN THE TAF. MVFR CIGS WILL TREND DOWN
TO IFR THROUGH LATE AFTN AS THE RAIN/SHOWERS INCREASE AND SRLY GUSTS
DEVELOP. A SHARP WIND SHIFT TO NW IS EXPECTED WITH FROPA BY
02Z...CREATING WINDY CONDITIONS AND A GRADUAL MIXOVER TO SNOW
SHOWERS TOWARD THE END OF THE PERIOD.
ELSEWHERE...MID AND HIGH CLOUDS WILL LOWER THROUGH VFR THIS
MORNING...WITH MVFR CLOUDS AND LIGHT RAIN DEVELOPING FROM SW TO NE
15Z TO 17Z. SHOWER COVERAGE/INTENSITY SHOULD INCREASE THROUGH THE
AFTERNOON...WITH ISOLD TO SCT TSTMS POSSIBLE OVER SRN
SECTIONS...ESPECIALLY NEAR KAND LATE. SRLY WINDS WILL INCREASE
THROUGH THE AFTN AND BECOME GUSTY...WITH A SHARP SHIFT WESTERLY
DURING THE EVENING HOURS WITH FROPA. A DRY SLOT ARRIVING FROM THE SW
WILL ALLOW CIG CONDITIONS TO IMPROVE AT THE UPSTATE TAF SITES...BUT
WITH RESTRICTIONS LINGERING AT KHKY THROUGH 06Z.
OUTLOOK...WINDY NW FLOW CONDITIONS WILL PERSIST WED INTO WED NIGHT
AS STRONG LOW PRES PULLS AWAY OFF THE MID ATLANTIC COAST. LINGERING
RESTRICTIONS AND NEARBY SHSN WILL CONTINUE TO IMPACT KAVL THROUGH
WED. STRONG DRY RIDGING WILL THEN DEVELOP THU THROUGH THE WEEKEND.
