AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE GREENVILLE-SPARTANBURG SC
400 AM EST THU JAN 2 2014

.SYNOPSIS...
A COLD FRONT WILL CROSS THE REGION FROM THE WEST TODAY. STRONG AND
COLD CANADIAN HIGH PRESSURE WILL THEN BUILD ACROSS THE AREA ON
FRIDAY AND SLOWLY SHIFT EAST OVER THE WEEKEND. ANOTHER STRONG COLD
FRONT WILL APPROACH THE CAROLINAS EARLY NEXT WEEK.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...
LIGHT RAIN HAS BECOME MORE PATCHY ACROSS THE LOWER PIEDMONT EARLY
THIS MORNING. HOWEVER...PRECIP FALLING ACROSS MUCH OF CENTRAL
GEORGIA ATTM WILL CONTINUE TO MOVE NORTHEAST...SO WILL HOLD ON TO
LIKELY/CAT POPS THROUGH THE MORNING HOURS FROM ROUGHLY GREENWOOD...
TO CHESTER...TO MONROE. QPF WILL BE VERY LIGHT IN THESE AREAS.
MEANWHILE...WARM ADVECTION SHOWER ACTIVITY CONTINUES TO MOVE ACROSS
THE TENN VALLEY THIS MORNING...BUT HAS THUS FAR STRUGGLED IN
OVERCOMING MID-LEVEL DRY AIR IN PLACE ACROSS THE SOUTHERN
APPALACHIANS. NEVERTHELESS...BASED UPON THE LATEST RADAR TRENDS...
RAIN WILL BE LIKELY ACROSS THE SOUTHWEST NC MTNS BY DAYBREAK. TEMPS
ARE BEING VERY WELL-BEHAVED IN THESE AREAS THIS MORNING...AS ALMOST
ALL SUPPLEMENTAL OBSERVATION SITES WEST OF THE BALSAMS ARE ABOVE
FREEZING. HOWEVER...THINGS ARE A BIT DIFFERENT NORTHEAST OF HERE...
ESPECIALLY FROM THE FRENCH BROAD VALLEY NORTH...AS THE WAA HAS THUS
FAR BEEN UNABLE TO DISLODGE THE COLD AIR. IN FACT...TEMPS ARE STILL
IN THE MID 20S ACROSS THE NORTHERN MTNS. FORTUNATELY...PRECIP IS
STILL LIKELY ABOUT 6 HOURS AWAY FROM THE NORTHERN MTNS...AND TEMPS
SHOULD BEGIN CLIMBING ANY MINUTE NOW...WHILE HEATING SUPPORT FROM A
COUPLE OF HOURS OF WEAK INSOLATION SHOULD BRING TEMPS NEAR OR ABOVE
FREEZING BY THE TIME THE PRECIP BEGINS. NEVERTHELESS...WILL PLAN TO
ISSUE AN SPS ADVERTISING THE POTENTIAL FOR A BRIEF PERIOD OF FZRA
ACROSS THE NORTHERN MTNS THIS MORNING.

FRONTAL PRECIP WILL SWEEP ACROSS THE AREA FROM LATE MORNING THROUGH
ABOUT MID-AFTERNOON...AND CATEGORICAL POPS WILL BE CARRIED IN ALL
AREAS. QPF THROUGH THIS AFTERNOON WILL GENERALLY BE LESS THAN A
QUARTER INCH IN MOST AREAS...WITH SOME AMOUNTS APPROACHING ONE HALF
INCH ACROSS THE SOUTHWEST NC MTNS...WHERE SOME ENHANCEMENT OF PRECIP
RATES IS LIKELY IN STRONG W/SW UPSLOPE FLOW. VERY COLD AIR SLASHING
IN BEHIND THE FRONT WILL ALLOW SNOW LEVELS TO FALL RAPIDLY ACROSS
THE NC MTNS THIS AFTERNOON. IN FACT...A TRANSITION TO SNOW...WITH
LIGHT SNOWFALL ACCUMS LIKELY...WILL OCCUR IN THE HIGH ELEVATIONS
BEFORE THE FRONTAL PRECIP SHIFTS EAST. HOWEVER...THE PRIMARY SNOW
EVENT WILL BE POST-FRONTAL...IN STRONG NW FLOW REGIME (H8 WINDS OF
40-55 KTS BY 03Z). TEMPERATURES IN THE NW FLOW MOIST LAYER APPROACH
-20 C BY 06Z. IT/S BEEN SEVERAL YEARS SINCE WE/VE SEEN SUCH THERMAL
PROFILES FOR A NORTHWEST FLOW SNOW EVENT. THIS COMBINED WITH AMPLE
SYNOPTIC SUPPORT FROM THE PASSING UPPER TROUGH USUALLY MEANS
WIDESPREAD SNOW SHOWERS THAT ARE VERY EFFICIENT SNOWFALL PRODUCERS.
IN FACT...SNOW-TO-LIQUID RATIOS OF 30 TO 1 ARE NOT AT ALL OUT OF THE
QUESTION TONIGHT. WILL FORECAST TOTAL ACCUMS OF 4 TO 6 INCHES...WITH
LOCALLY HIGHER AMOUNTS ACROSS THE HIGH ELEVATIONS ALONG THE TENN
BORDER. I

IN ADDITION...SURFACE WINDS WILL BECOME VERY STRONG TONIGHT...ESP
ACROSS THE HIGH ELEVATIONS AND ALONG THE EASTERN BLUE RIDGE. NW H8
WINDS OF UP TO 55 KTS...STRONG COLD ADVECTION/SUBSIDENCE...A
PRESSURE GRADIENT OF 7 TO 8 MB ACROSS THE HIGH TERRAIN...AND A
SURFACE CYCLONE BOMBING OFF THE MID-ATLANTIC COAST ARE TYPICALLY
SLAM DUNK INDICATORS OF A HIGH WIND EVENT...AND THE CURRENT WATCH
WILL BE UPGRADED TO A WARNING...WITH HIGH WIND WORDING /WRAPPED/
INTO THE WINTER STORM WARNING ACROSS THE NORTHERN MTNS. A WIND
ADVISORY WILL ALSO BE CARRIED FOR THE ADJACENT LOW ELEVATIONS OF THE
NC FOOTHILLS. THE STRONG WINDS WILL COMBINE WITH SINGLE DIGIT...AND
POSSIBLY BELOW ZERO AIR TEMPERATURES TO PRODUCE WIND CHILLS OF -5 TO
-20 ACROSS THE HIGH ELEVATIONS OF NORTH CAROLINA TONIGHT.
CONSIDERABLE BLOWING/DRIFTING SNOW WILL ALSO BE SEEN IN THE
NORTHWEST FLOW SNOW AREAS. IN A NUTSHELL...THIS WILL BE A NIGHT FIT
FOR NEITHER MAN NOR BEAR ACROSS THE HIGH ELEVATIONS OF THE NC
MTNS.

&&

.SHORT TERM /FRIDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/...
AS OF 135 AM EST THURSDAY...NNW TO NORTH LOW LEVEL WIND WILL BE
DECREASING FRIDAY MORNING AS THE GRADIENT RELAXES BETWEEN LOW
PRESSURE MOVING FARTHER OFFSHORE AND HIGH PRESSURE CROSSING THE OHIO
RIVER VALLEY. AT 12Z THERE IS STILL SOME 850MB 50KT WIND OVER NRN
MTNS AND NRN FOOTHILLS ON THE SREF AND GFS BUT THIS DECREASES
FAIRLY RAPIDLY THROUGH THE MORNING. SNOW SHOWERS TAPER OFF AND END
BEFORE NOON ON FRIDAY AS WELL WITH DRIER AIR MOVING IN ACROSS MTNS.

CENTER OF HIGH PRESSURE REACHES THE VIRGINIAS BY 00Z SATURDAY.
SECONDARY THICKNESS TROUGH AXIS CROSSES THE SRN APPALACHIANS FRIDAY
EVENING. FRIDAY WILL BE A COLD DAY WITH HIGHS MOSTLY IN THE 20S FOR
THE NC MTNS AND 30S ELSEWHERE WHICH IS 15 TO NEARLY 20 DEGREES BELOW
NORMAL. LOWS FRIDAY NIGHT WILL BE 10 TO 15 DEGREES BELOW NORMAL.
HIGHS ON SATURDAY RECOVER A BIT WITH MOSTLY 35 TO 40 MTNS AND LOWER
40S PIEDMONT. WINDS SHIFT FROM NORTHERLY FRIDAY TO LIGHT SOUTHERLY
LATE FRIDAY NIGHT. DEPENDING ON THE MODEL OBSERVED...THERE MAY BE
SOME UPSLOPE COMPONENT IN THE 925MB WIND FLOW AGAINST THE SOUTHERN
MTNS GOING INTO SATURDAY NIGHT. FOR THE MOST PART...THOSE WINDS ARE
NEARLY PARALLEL TO THE MTNS CHAIN FROM THE SW. HIGH PRESSURE WILL BE
MOVING OFF THE MID ATLANTIC COAST AT 00Z SUNDAY AS THE NEXT VERY
SIGNIFICANT 500MB TROUGH CROSSES THE PLAINS STATES. PRECIP HOLDS OFF
UNTIL SATURDAY EVENING...AFTER 00Z SUNDAY.

&&

.LONG TERM /SATURDAY NIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
AS OF 2 AM EST...THE ONLY CHANGES I MADE TO THE MEDIUM RANGE FCST
INCLUDED LOWERING THE TEMPS AND DEWPTS A FEW DEGREES FROM MONDAY
EVENING THRU WEDNESDAY IN ORDER TO BETTER REFLECT COLDER THICKNESS
VALUES FROM THE MOST RECENT GUIDANCE.

PREVIOUS DISCUSSION...
AS OF 230 PM EST...THERE IS REASONABLE CONSENSUS THAT A DEEPENING
CENTRAL CONUS TROUGH WILL PUSH THE POLAR JET SWD INTO TX SAT NIGHT.
THE NUMERICAL MODELS THEN DIVERGE SOMEWHAT SUN INTO MON WITH THE EWD
MIGRATION OF THE ENERGY AND THE ASSOCIATED COLD AIR INFILTRATION.
THE ECMWF REMAINS MORE AMPLIFIED WITH THE FULL LATITUDE TROUGH AS IT
MIGRATES EWD SUNDAY...AND THIS IS BETTER SUPPORTED BY THE CMC AND
THE ENSEMBLES THAN IS THE GFS SOLUTION...SO IT WILL BE PREFERRED.
AHEAD OF THIS DIGGING UPSTREAM SYSTEM...LOW LEVEL SRLY UPGLIDE FLOW
SAT NIGHT INTO SUN WILL GRADUALLY RETURN ATLANTIC AND GULF MOISTURE
ACROSS THE REGION. THERE SHOULD BE ENOUGH OF A WARM NOSE ALOFT TO
ALLOW ANY SAT NIGHT AND EARLY SUNDAY PRECIP TO BE EITHER RAIN OR
FREEZING RAIN. THE OFFSHORE SFC HIGH PRES CENTER IS NOT IN A
FAVORABLE POSITION FOR ANYTHING MORE THAN TRANSIENT IN SITU CAD
EARLY SUNDAY...SO ANY PRECIP BEGINNING AS FREEZING RAIN SHOULD BE
ABLE TO CHANGE OVER TO RAIN FAIRLY QUICKLY BY LATE SUN MORNING. THE
LOW LEVEL SRLY JET WILL THEN INCREASE THROUGH THE DAY TO ALLOW
PRECIP CHANCES AND RAIN RATES TO INCREASE...ESPECIALLY IN THE SW
MTNS.

MEANWHILE...THE 500 MB VORTEX WILL DEEPEN OVER ONTARIO SUN NIGHT
THROUGH MON. THIS WILL DRIVE THE DEEP AND COLD TROUGH EWD...WITH THE
LEADING EDGE OF THE ARCTIC AIRMASS MOVING THROUGH STARTING SUN
NIGHT...AND WITH REINFORCING COLD AIR ARRIVING THROUGH TUE MORNING
AS THE TROUGH BOTTOMS OUT OVER THE SRN APPALACHIANS. A RAPID
CHANGEOVER FROM RAIN TO SNOW IS THUS EXPECTED SUN NIGHT/MON MORNING
WITH ANY LINGERING POST FRONTAL MOISTURE OR NW UPSLOPE FLOW INTO THE
WRN MTNS. A FEW SNOW SHOWERS COULD BREAK CONTAINMENT E OF THE BLUE
RIDGE EARLY MON AS WELL. IN ADDITION TO THE BRIEF ROUND OF NW FLOW
MOISTURE IN THE COLD AIR FOLLOWING FROPA LATE SUN NIGHT INTO
MON...ANOTHER SURGE OF MOISTURE COULD ARRIVE ON MON NIGHT JUST AS
850 MB TEMPS FALL TO BELOW MINUS 20 C ACROSS THE NC MOUNTAINS.
SNOW...WIND...OR WIND CHILL ADVISORIES COULD BE NEEDED FOR PARTS OF
THE PERIOD FROM EARLY MONDAY INTO TUE ACROSS THE HIGHER TERRAIN.

A COLD AND DRY ARCTIC AIRMASS WILL THEN SETTLE OVER THE AREA THROUGH
TUESDAY INTO WED...WITH MINS 10 TO 15 DEGREES BELOW CLIMO...AND
MAXES 10 TO 20 DEGREES BELOW CLIMO. A COLD WAVE OUTLOOK COULD BE
NEEDED.

&&

.AVIATION /09Z THURSDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...
AT KCLT AND ELSEWHERE...LOW VFR CIGS HAVE OVERSPREAD MUCH OF THE
UPSTATE SC TERMINALS...AND MAY IMPACT KCLT OVER THE NEXT FEW HOURS
AS WELL. A BRIEF PERIOD OF -RA WILL BE POSSIBLE THIS MORNING AT THE
SC TERMINALS AND KCLT...BUT MOST OF THE ACTIVITY SHOULD REMAIN SOUTH
OF THESE AREAS. OTHERWISE...CIGS WILL GRADUALLY LOWER THROUGH THE
EARLY MORNING HOURS...WITH MVFR CIGS EXPECTED AT MOST TERMINALS BY
DAYBREAK. RAIN WILL OVERSPREAD WESTERN PORTIONS OF THE AREA AFTER
SUNRISE...WITH -RA EXPECTED AT THE UPSTATE SC TERMINALS AND KAVL
