420 PM EST SAT FEB 2 2013

.SYNOPSIS...
A COLD FRONT WILL CROSS EAST OF THE AREA OVERNIGHT WITH HIGH
PRESSURE MOVING IN FROM THE WEST THROUGH MONDAY. A WEAK COLD FRONT
IS EXPECTED TO REACH THE NORTH CAROLINA MOUNTAINS TUESDAY FOLLOWED
BY ANOTHER AREA OF HIGH PRESSURE BUILDING IN AND LINGERING THROUGH
THURSDAY.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH SUNDAY/...
AS OF EARLY SAT AFTN...CYCLONIC UPPER FLOW WILL CONTINUE THROUGH THE
NEAR TERM PERIOD...WITH A COUPLE OF SHORTWAVES ROUNDING THE BASE OF
THE TROUGH. SOUTHWEST FLOW OVER THE REGION WILL AID MOISTURE
ADVECTION ALOFT AS THE FIRST OF THESE WAVES ROLLS THROUGH LATE THIS
AFTERNOON AND INTO THE EVENING. THE FLOW DIRECTION IS INITIALLY
FAVORABLE FOR UPSLOPE ENHANCEMENT THROUGHOUT THE CWFA BUT ESPECIALLY
IN THE MOUNTAINS. HAVE MAINTAINED HIGH LIKELY TO LOW CATEGORICAL POPS
THERE WITH THE FIRST WAVE...WITH SCHC TO CHC POPS FOR THE PIEDMONT.
SFC DEWPOINTS REMAIN VERY DRY...IN THE SINGLE DIGITS AND LOWER
TEENS...WITH TEMPERATURES LARGELY IN THE 40S OUTSIDE THE MOUNTAINS.
THESE AREAS WILL SEE MUCH OF THE PRECIP EVAPORATE INITIALLY WHICH
WILL LEAD TO COOLING TEMPERATURES APPROACHING THE WET BULB TEMPS.
SNOW OR A RAIN/SNOW MIX COULD THUS RESULT OVER THE PIEDMONT...THOUGH
THE FORCING IS NOT ALL THAT STRONG AND MOISTURE STILL SOMEWHAT
LACKING. QPF VALUES ARE QUITE SMALL OUTSIDE THE MOUNTAINS SO
SIGNIFICANT ACCUMULATION IS NOT EXPECTED THERE.

THE INITIAL WAVE WILL HAVE PUSHED EAST OF THE CWFA BY 06Z...BUT
ANOTHER WILL BE APPROACHING FROM THE TN VALLEY AT THAT TIME. WINDS
VEER THIS EVENING SO THE DYNAMIC FORCING THE MTNS RECEIVE FROM THAT
WAVE LATE TONIGHT WILL COUPLE WITH UPSLOPE FLOW TO PRODUCE A SECOND
PEAK IN PRECIP COVERAGE IN THE PRE-DAWN HOURS...WITH MODELS STILL
PRODUCING UPSLOPE SNOW INTO THE DAY. QPF REMAINS LIGHT WITH ONLY
SHALLOW MOISTURE REMAINING AT THAT TIME. THE PIEDMONT LOOKS TO ONLY
RECEIVE CIRRUS WITH THE SECOND WAVE...LACKING SUFFICIENT LLVL
MOISTURE. WINDS COULD BE GUSTY AGAIN SUNDAY WITH DEEP MIXING AND
STRONG WINDS ALOFT DUE TO THE TIGHT UPPER HEIGHT GRADIENT.

SNOW ACCUMULATIONS IN THE SRN MOUNTAINS WERE RAISED ENOUGH TO WARRANT
INCLUDING SRN JACKSON...RABUN AND HABERSHAM COUNTIES IN THE WINTER WX
ADVY. THE ADVY WORTHY TOTALS WILL MOSTLY BE FOCUSED IN HIGHER
ELEVATIONS.

.SHORT TERM /SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY/...
AS OF 130 PM SAT...LINGERING FLURRIES OR A FEW LIGHT SNOW
SHOWERS WILL TAPER OFF ACROSS THE NORTHERN MOUNTAINS SUNDAY
EVENING...AS NW FLOW SHUTS OFF AND SURFACE HIGH SCOOTS INTO THE
AREA. THIS WILL SET THE STAGE FOR PRETTY GOOD RADIATIONAL COOLING
CONDITIONS BY MONDAY MORNING...WITH MINS EXPECTED TO AVERAGE ABOUT A
CATEGORY OR TWO BELOW CLIMO.

AFTER A SEASONABLY COOL AND DRY MONDAY...ANOTHER AREA OF MID-LEVEL
VORTICITY AND ATTENDANT WEAK SURFACE COLD FRONT WILL ADVANCE TOWARD
THE AREA MONDAY NIGHT. THERE ARE SLIGHT DIFFERENCES IN MASS/PRECIP
FIELDS AMONG THE SHORT TERM OPERATIONAL MODELS...WITH THE GFS
FEATURING MORE IN THE WAY OF GULF COASTAL WEAK CYCLOGENESIS...AND A
PRECIP SHIELD THAT PASSES JUST SOUTH OF THE CWFA EARLY TUESDAY.
MEANWHILE...THE NAM DEPICTS LITTLE IN THE WAY OF SURFACE DEVELOPMENT
TO OUR SOUTHWEST...AND BASICALLY BRINGS AN AREA OF LIGHT PRECIP INTO
THE AREA MONDAY NIGHT...DISSIPATING IT OVER THE WESTERN MTNS.
ALTHOUGH WE HAVE BUMPED POPS INTO THE LOW CHANCE RANGE ACROSS THE
TENN BORDER COUNTIES...WE HAVE OPTED FOR A DRY FORECAST FOR MUCH OF
THE REMAINDER OF THE AREA. THIS LOOKS TO BE YET ANOTHER POTENTIAL
LIGHT SNOW EVENT FOR THE WESTERN MOST MOUNTAINS OF NC.

ANY PRECIP SHOULD TAPER OFF BY TUESDAY AFTERNOON. DESPITE THE MON
NIGHT WEAK FROPA...MAXES MAY BE WARMER ON TUESDAY...OWING TO STRONG
WESTERLY FLOW AND CLEARING AFTERNOON SKIES.

&&

.LONG TERM /TUESDAY NIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY/...
AS OF 150 PM SATURDAY...A PATTERN CHANGE APPEARS TO BE IN STORE
DURING THE MEDIUM RANGE...AS THE BROAD EASTERN TROUGH FINALLY BEGINS
TO BREAK DOWN...WITH A PERIOD OF FAST QUASI-ZONAL FLOW EXPECTED FROM
MID-WEEK ON. THIS SHOULD RESULT IN TEMPS MODERATING QUITE NICELY BY
LATE WEEK...WHEN MAXES WILL LIKELY PUSH THE 60 DEGREE MARK. A
DAMPENING SHORT WAVE TROUGH IS EXPECTED TO LIFT TOWARD THE AREA FROM
THE LOWER MISS VALLEY DURING MID-WEEK...BUT A MODEL CONSENSUS
SUGGESTS ANY ATTENDANT LIGHT PRECIP WILL PASS WELL SOUTH OF OUR
AREA.

BY THE END OF THE PERIOD...THE GLOBAL MODELS INDICATE THAT A MAJOR
STORM SYSTEM WILL BE LIFTING OUT OF THE GREAT PLAINS. HOWEVER...ALL
INDICATIONS ARE THAT ANY PRECIP WILL HOLD OFF UNTIL AT LEAST THE
LATTER HALF OF THE WEEKEND. THEREFORE...NO MENTIONABLE POPS WILL BE
CARRIED ATTM. OVERALL...THE MEDIUM RANGE WILL FEATURE INACTIVE
WEATHER FOR OUR AREA...WITH TEMPS A LITTLE ABOVE NORMAL.

&&

.AVIATION /21Z SATURDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/...
AT KCLT...PRETTY CONFIDENT WITH VFR FORECAST. TWO UPPER SHORTWAVE
TROUGHS WILL PASS THROUGH THE REGION DURING THE PERIOD. THIS WILL
BRING INCREASING MIDLEVEL CLOUD COVER THIS AFTERNOON AND A LOWERING
TREND INTO THE EVENING. THE LOWER FEW THOUSAND FEET STAY QUITE DRY
SO I DON/T THINK IT WILL BE ABLE TO LOWER TO MVFR. THERE IS A SLIGHT
CHANCE OF MIXED PRECIP IN 22Z-06Z TIMEFRAME BUT ANY ACCUMULATION
WOULD BE VERY LIGHT PARTLY DUE TO THAT DRY AIR NEAR THE SURFACE.
SNOW AND SLEET WOULD BE FAVORED INSTEAD OF FREEZING RAIN /ICING/ IF
TEMPS COOL TO BELOW 32F. AFTER THE PASSAGE OF THE FIRST SHORTWAVE
SOME CLEARING WILL OCCUR THOUGH SOME OF THE LOW VFR CLOUDS MAY
PERSIST INTO SUNDAY MORNING. SOUTH WINDS WILL OCCASIONALLY GUST TO
15-20 KT THIS AFTN BEFORE RELAXING AND SWINGING TO A WESTERLY
DIRECTION OVERNIGHT. DEEP MIXING SUNDAY COULD ALLOW BRISK CROSSWIND
GUSTS. SECOND SHORTWAVE APPROACHES LATE IN THE PERIOD THOUGH THIS IS
ONLY EXPECTED TO PRODUCE SOME CIRRUS AND PERHAPS ADD A SOUTHWEST
COMPONENT TO WINDS.

ELSEWHERE...LIGHT PRECIP...MOSTLY SNOW...WILL SPREAD INTO THE
MOUNTAINS THIS AFTERNOON. SNOW SHOWERS ARE LIKELY TO PRODUCE PERIODS
OF MVFR OR IFR ESPECIALLY IN THE FAVORED UPSLOPE AREAS NEAR THE TENN
BORDER. PRECIP CHANCES ARE HIGH ENOUGH AT KAVL THAT A TEMPO WAS
INCLUDED FOR MVFR VSBY...BUT OTHERWISE THE SITE STAYS VFR. THE
VALLEYS ARE EXPECTED TO BE WARMEST AND THEREFORE MOST LIKELY TO SEE
RAIN OR A RA/SN MIX. PRECIP CHANCES AND VFR CIGS SPREAD INTO THE
FOOTHILLS/PIEDMONT THIS EVENING AS AN UPPER LEVEL DISTURBANCE PUSHES
THROUGH. PRECIP TYPE IS EXPECTED TO BE RAIN...SNOW OR
SLEET...DEPENDING ON SFC TEMPERATURE...BUT PRECIP SHOULD TRAIL OFF
BY MIDNIGHT OVER THE LOWER TERRAIN. THE SITE MOST LIKELY TO BE
AFFECTED BY THIS IS KHKY...SO INCLUDED A TEMPO THERE. MUCH OF THE
MOUNTAINS WILL SEE MVFR PERSIST OVERNIGHT ALONG WITH -SHSN NEAR THE
BORDER. SECOND UPPER DISTURBANCE WILL LIKELY CAUSE AN UPTICK IN
PRECIP COVERAGE BETWEEN 06-12Z SUN OVER THE MTNS...WITH VERY LIGHT
SNOW OR FLURRIES LASTING WELL INTO THE DAY SUNDAY. LOOK FOR
SOUTHERLY WINDS TO BECOME WESTERLY OVERNIGHT WITH PASSING SYSTEM.

OUTLOOK...DRY HIGH PRESSURE RETURNS BY SUNDAY NIGHT. ANOTHER WEATHER
SYSTEM APPROACHES AT MID WEEK...BUT CONFIDENCE IS LOW ON ANY IMPACT.

.FIRE WEATHER...
VERY GUSTY WINDS...SUSTAINED 15 TO 25 MPH...WITH GUSTS OF 25 TO 35
MPH ARE EXPECTED OVER THE REGION ON SUNDAY. FUEL MOISTURE LEVELS
HAVE ALSO BEEN RAPIDLY DEPLETING IN RESPONSE TO THE RECENT PERIOD OF
DRY WEATHER. A FIRE DANGER STATEMENT HAS BEEN ISSUED FOR THE UPSTATE
FOR TOMORROW. PORTIONS OF NORTHEAST GEORGIA WILL GET VERY CLOSE TO
FIRE DANGER CRITERIA FOR TOMORROW AS WELL...BUT WE WILL HOLD OFF TO
SEE HOW MUCH/WHERE PRECIP FALLS OVER THE AREA THIS EVENING BEFORE
ISSUING ANY PRODUCTS. FORTUNATELY...IT APPEARS THAT RH...WHILE LOW
SHOULD BE COMFORTABLY ABOVE CRITICAL LEVELS.
