AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE GREENVILLE-SPARTANBURG SC
325 AM EST SAT JAN 25 2014

.SYNOPSIS...
COLD CANADIAN HIGH PRESSURE WILL MOVE OFFSHORE AS A WEAK FRONTAL
SYSTEM MOVES OVERHEAD THIS WEEKEND. A COLDER ARCTIC FRONT WILL MOVE
INTO THE REGION MONDAY WITH DRY CANADIAN HIGH PRESSURE PUSHING IN
BEHIND THE FRONT.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...
FOR THE REMAINDER OF THE PRE-DAWN HOURS...INCREASING HIGH CLOUDS AND
COLD. WIND NOT AS STRONG AS THOUGHT PREVIOUSLY OVER THE MTNS BUT
WILL KEEP THE WIND CHILL ADVISORY IN PLACE FOR THE TIME BEING.

FOR TODAY AND TONIGHT...THE LATEST IN A SERIES OF CLIPPER-TYPE SHORT
WAVES WILL DIVE DOWN INTO THE EASTERN MEAN UPPER TROF LATE IN THE
DAY. HOWEVER...THIS ONE WILL LARGELY PASS TO OUR NORTH...WITH ONLY
SOME WEAKER CHANNELED VORTS THIS FAR TO THE SOUTH THAT DO NOT OFFER
MUCH IN THE WAY OF DPVA. BACKED FLOW AHEAD OF THE COLD FRONT WILL
ALSO BE UNFAVORABLE FOR MECHANICAL LIFT UNTIL AFTER THE FRONT PASSES
LATE IN THE DAY. UPSTREAM RADAR TRENDS SUPPORT THE IDEA THAT A
PERIOD OF SNOW MAY SPREAD ACROSS THE MTNS NEAR THE TN BORDER IN THE
MID TO LATE MORNING AND INTO THE EARLY AFTERNOON. HOWEVER...THE AMTS
LOOK LIMITED...AND THE GFS SEEMS PARTICULARLY UNIMPRESSIVE. NOT ONLY
THAT...EXPECT VERY STRONG WINDS TO DEVELOP WITH THE PASSAGE OF THE
FRONT. THINK OUR POTENTIAL IS LIMITED TO TWO INCHES OR SO AT THE
HIGHEST ELEVATIONS RIGHT ON THE TN BORDER...AND LESS THAN THAT IN
THE VALLEYS ELSEWHERE. THIS WILL NOT REACH ADVISORY CRITERIA OVER A
LARGE ENOUGH AREA. THE NW FLOW SNOW SHOULD TAPER OFF BY THE EARLY
MORNING HOURS ON SUNDAY. A BIGGER PROBLEM MIGHT BE THE WIND ACROSS
THE MTNS...AS A STRONG 850MB WIND MAX MOVES OVERHEAD LATE IN THE
AFTERNOON AND THROUGH THE EVENING. MOMENTUM TRANSFER MIGHT ALLOW FOR
GUSTS WELL INTO THE 40-49 KT RANGE AT THE HIGH ELEVATIONS. A WIND
ADVISORY WILL BE ISSUED FOR THE AFTERNOON AND TONIGHT. WIND CHILL
DOES NOT LOOK LIKE IT WILL REACH CRITERIA EXCEPT FOR AVERY COUNTY.
HIGH PRESSURE WILL BUILD IN QUICKLY LATE TONIGHT ALLOWING WIND TO
DIMINISH DURING THE PRE-DAWN HOURS...WHICH WILL HELP TO KEEP WIND
CHILL FROM DROPPING TOO LOW.

&&

.SHORT TERM /SUNDAY THROUGH MONDAY NIGHT/...
AT 230 AM EST SATURDAY...ON SUNDAY MORNING NEARLY ZONAL UPPER FLOW
WILL BE OVER THE SOUTHEAST DURING A BRIEF PERIOD OF DEAMPLIFICATION
OF THE EASTERN NORTH AMERICAN TROUGH. ON SUNDAY NIGHT AND MONDAY THE
TROUGH STARTS TO DEAMPLIFY AS A STRONG SHORTWAVE DIVES FROM THE
NORTHERN PLAINS TO THE GREAT LAKES. THE TROUGH DEAMPLIFIES SLIGHTLY
ON MONDAY NIGHT IN THE WAKE OF THE SHORTWAVE.

DRY SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE WILL MOVE ACROSS THE SOUTHERN APPALACHIANS
EARLY SUNDAY...THEN SLIDE OFF THE COAST BY AFTERNOON. WINDS WILL
INCREASE FROM THE SW SUNDAY AFTERNOON IN WAKE OF THE HIGH...WHILE A
COLD FRONT DIVES SOUTH THROUGH THE PLAINS. LIMITED GULF MOISTURE IS
EXPECTED TO REACH THE SOUTHERN APPALACHIANS IN THIS SW FLOW. THE
FRONT REACHES THE SOUTHERN APPALACHIANS BY SUNDAY MORNING...WITH THE
GFS SHOWING GREATER MOISTURE AHEAD OF THE BOUNDARY THAN THE NAM....
BUT WITH LITTLE ISENTROPIC LIFT. AT THIS TIME FORECAST PRECIPITATION
WILL BE CONFINED TO THE MOUNTAINS. A WARM NOSE ALOFT WOULD ALLOW
PRECIPITATION TO CHANGE OVER TO RAIN ALOFT INITIALLY...AND WITH
FREEZING TEMPERATURES...A MINOR ICE ACCRETION WOULD BE POSSIBLE IN
PORTIONS OF THE NC MOUNTAINS BEFORE THE WARM NOSE ERODES AND
PRECIPITATION CHANGES OVER TO SNOW. SNOW ACCUMULATIONS ARE EXPECTED
TO BE BELOW ADVISORY CRITERIA.

A NW FLOW SNOW EVEN SETS UP BEHIND THE DEPARTING FRONT ON
MONDAY...BUT ENDS QUICKLY AS MOISTURE DIMINISHES LATE IN THE DAY.
COLD DRY HIGH PRESSURE THEN SETTLES SE ACROSS THE PLAINS AND OVER
THE SOUTHEAST ON MONDAY NIGHT.

TEMPERATURES WILL WARM FROM AROUND 7 DEGREES BELOW NORMAL
SUNDAY...TO JUST BELOW NORMAL ON MONDAY...IN WARM ADVECTION AHEAD OF
THE FRONT. TEMPERATURES FALL TO ALMOST 10 DEGREES BELOW NORMAL
TUESDAY NIGHT IN COLD ADVECTION BEHIND THE FRONT.

&&

.LONG TERM /TUESDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/...
AS OF 230 AM SATURDAY...AN ARCTIC AIRMASS WILL CONTINUE TO BUILD IN
FORM THE NW TUE AS STRONG HIGH PRESSURE ENVELOPES A GOOD PORTION OF
THE NATION EAST OF THE ROCKIES. THE COLUMN WILL DRY OUT QUICKLY
DURING THE DAY AS PWAT VALUES DROP TO 0.10 INCHES BY 03Z WED. N/LY
WINDS WILL WEAKEN DURING THE DAY AS WELL AND HIGHER MTN TERRAIN
GUSTS SHOULD RELAX BY MID MORNING. WITH A BROAD LLVL THICKNESS TROF
PUSHING IN...MAX TEMPS WILL STRUGGLE TO REACH THE U30S SRN ZONES AND
LIKELY U20S MTN VALLEYS.

THE OP MODELS HAVE COME INTO BETTER AGREEMENT WITH THE INCOMING S/W
AND POSSIBLE COASTAL LOW SCENARIO TUE NIGHT THROUGH WED. THE 00Z CMC
CONTINUES TO PRODUCE AN OUTLYING SOLN. THE MODEL IS MUCH SLOWER THAN
THE OTHER OP MODELS DUE TO THE INGESTION OF A PACIFIC LOW. THIS
GIVES THE MODEL MORE SRN ENERGY AND AN UNREALISTIC LOOKING
STRETCHED/OUT H5 TROF AXIS...THUS NOT ALLOWING THE SFC HIGH TO BUILD
INTO THE AREA AS STRONGLY. THIS ENABLES PERSISTENT ULVL DIV TO
PRODUCE A WEAK COASTAL LOW AND COPIOUS AMOUNTS OF QPF ALONG THE
COAST WITH MEASURABLE PRECIP OVERRIDING THE ENTIRE FCST AREA. THESE
IDEAS HAVE BEEN GIVEN LITTLE TO NO WEIGHT AND INSTEAD WILL GO WITH
THE GOOD AGREEMENT BTW THE GFS/ECMWF...BOTH OF WHICH BRING IN A MORE
RELAXED S/W AND NOT MUCH IF ANY SFC REFLECTION LOW DEVELOPMENT. THIS
IDEA MAKES SENSE DUE TO THE OVERALL BROADNESS OF THE PARENT TROF
WHICH KEEPS IT/S ERN PERIPHERY WELL OFFSHORE. THUS...PRECIP THROUGH
WED WILL LIKELY BE FOCUSED ALONG THE COAST ALIGNED IN A REGION OF
OFFSHORE WEAKNESS. ALL OF THIS TO SAY...THE CWFA FCST IS NOW DRY
THROUGH THU WHICH FOLLOWS THE PREVIOUS DECREASING POP TRENDS AND
THINKING.

MAX TEMPS WED WILL STILL BE COLD...ABOUT 15-20 DEGREES BELOW NORMAL
AS THE SFC HIGH AND THERMAL TROF BECOME REINFORCED. THE PATTERN WILL
REMAIN PROGRESSIVE THROUGH THE PERIOD AND WILL ANTICIPATE THE HIGH TO
MOVE EAST WHILE SW FLOW DEVELOPS THU NIGHT AHEAD OF AN APPROACHING
FRONTAL SYSTEM. SLIGHT CHANCE POPS WERE INTRODUCED FOR THE SW ZONES
FOR -SNSH THU NIGHT AND A -RA/SN MIX DURING THE DAY FRI AS MAX TEMPS
BEGIN TO CLIMB BACK INTO THE 40S MOST LOCALES.

&&

.AVIATION /09Z SATURDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
AT KCLT...VFR THROUGH THE PERIOD...BUT WINDY SATURDAY AFTERNOON. SKY
WILL BE MOSTLY CLEAR THROUGH DAYBREAK WITH A LIGHT S WIND. CLOUDS
WILL INCREASE QUICKLY IN THE MID MORNING AS THE SHORT WAVE
APPROACHES...WITH MOSTLY A MID LEVEL CEILING EXPECTED BY 15Z. THERE
WILL BE SOME LOWER CLOUDS WITH THE FRONT BUT AT THIS POINT THERE
APPEARS TO BE LITTLE CHANCE OF A CEILING BELOW ABOUT 060. THE MAIN
STORY WILL BE THE WIND. VERY STRONG LOW LEVEL WINDS WILL TRANSLATE
EWD ACROSS THE REGION IN THE AFTERNOON ABOVE 5K FEET. ATMOSPHERIC
PROFILES SUGGEST THAT FOR THE MOST PART THE BOUNDARY LAYER WILL NOT
GET DEEP ENOUGH TO TAP INTO THE REALLY STRONG WINDS ALOFT...BUT WE
SHOULD STILL BE ABLE TO MIX DOWN SOME GUSTS UPWARDS OF 30KT FROM THE
WSW IN THE LATE AFTERNOON AND EARLY EVENING AS THE COLD ADVECTION
KICKS IN AND CLOUDS SCATTER. WE SHOULD LOSE THE GUSTS BY MID EVENING
BUT WILL RETAIN A BRISK WSW WIND OVERNIGHT SATURDAY NIGHT.

ELSEWHERE...SIMILAR CONDITIONS TO KCLT BUT WITH EARLIER TIMING.
THERE IS SLIGHTLY BETTER CHANCE OF A VFR LOW CLOUD CEILING CLOSER TO
THE MTNS...PROBABLY AROUND 060. KAVL WILL PROBABLY EXPERIENCE SOME
LOW CLOUDS BUT VFR CONDITIONS SHOULD PREVAIL. THE MAIN STORY AT KAVL
WILL BE A RARE STRONG CROSSWIND FOR MOST OF THE DAY AS THE WAVE
PASSES. THIS COULD RESULT IN SOME PERIODS OF LOW LEVEL WIND SHEAR
WHEN THE BOUNDARY LAYER IS SHALLOW ENOUGH. THE WINDS SHOULD
GRADUALLY COME AROUND TO MORE NW IN THE EVENING HOURS. THE CHANCE
FOR SNOW SHOWERS AT KAVL IS TOO SMALL TO MENTION.

OUTLOOK...WIND WILL GRADUALLY DIMINISH EARLY SUNDAY MORNING. DRY
CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED ON SUNDAY. A COLD FRONT WILL CROSS THE AREA
MONDAY...WITH ANY SNOW SHOWERS/FLURRIES MAINLY NORTH OF KAVL. SOME
UNCERTAINTY FOR THE MIDDLE OF NEXT WEEK...BUT FOR NOW IT LOOKS VFR.
