AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE GREENVILLE-SPARTANBURG SC
438 PM EDT TUE MAR 25 2014

.SYNOPSIS...
A LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM WILL DEEPEN AS IT MOVES NORTHEAST AND UP THE
EASTERN SEABOARD TONIGHT INTO WEDNESDAY. COOL AND DRY CANADIAN HIGH
PRESSURE WILL SPREAD BACK OVER THE REGION ON WEDNESDAY AND REMAIN IN
PLACE INTO THURSDAY. A FAIRLY STRONG SOUTHERLY FLOW WILL DEVELOP ON
THURSDAY AHEAD OF THE NEXT COLD FRONT WHICH IS EXPECTED TO ARRIVE ON
SATURDAY.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
415 PM UPDATE...CONVECTIVE SHOWER ACTIVITY CONTINUES ACRS THE NC
PIEDMONT. RECENT REPORTS INDICATE THAT PTYPE IS GENERALLY RAIN
ALTHOUGH HEAVIER PCPN RATES ARE BEING ACCOMPANIED BY SOME BURSTS OF
SNOW. THIS LIKELY DUE TO UPDRAFTS TAPPING INTO COLDER AIR AT HIGHER
ALTITUDES. NO ACCUMULATION IS REPORTED OR EXPECTED WITH THE
PREDOMINANT TYPE CONTINUING TO BE RAIN UNTIL THE ACTIVITY MOVES EAST
OF THE FA OVER THE NEXT COUPLE OF HOURS.

ALONG THE TENN BORDER...SHSN IN UPSLOPE FLOW ALSO CONTINUE...AND WE
CONSIDERED UPGRADING THE WINTER WX ADVY TO A WARNING GIVEN THE
TOTALS ALREADY RECEIVED AND THE POTENTIAL FOR NOTABLE FURTHER
ACCUMS. GROUND TRUTH REPORTS INDICATE DECENT MELTING HAS OCCURRED
OVER THE COURSE OF THE DAY...AND LITTLE IMPACT ON ROAD CONDITIONS
EVEN AS MODERATE SHOWERS CONTINUE. RATES MAY PICK UP AS THE FLOW
TURNS MORE ORTHOGONAL AND MOIST LATER THIS EVENING...BUT FOR NOW IT
APPEARS AN ADVISORY WILL SUFFICE.

AS OF 230 PM EDT...IN RESPONSE TO ENCROACHING L/WV AXIS...FORCING
AND STEEP LAPSE RATES...MIXED PCPN SHOWERS WILL CONTINUE TO DEVELOP
INTO LATE AFTERNOON BEFORE GIVING WAY TO SOLELY NW FLOW SNOW SHOWERS
FOR LOCALES WEST OF THE BLUE RIDGE THIS EVENING. GIVEN THE STOUT
LLVL ORTHOGONAL COMPONENT TO THE MEAN FLOW ALONG WITH A RELATIVELY
COLD LLVL TEMPERATURE PROFILE...WIDESPREAD SNOW SHOWERS ARE EXPECTED
BEFORE TAPERING DOWN OVERNIGHT. LOCALLY AS MUCH 4 FRESH INCHES OF
ACCUMULATION IS POSSIBLE WITHIN THE ADVISORY AREA. ALTHOUGH THE CWFA
LOOKS TO BE WELL REMOVED FROM THE DEEPENING COASTAL LOW...WITHIN THE
ROBUST CAA REGIME...NC MTN WIND GUSTS MAY BE AS HIGH AS 50 MPH INTO
EARLY WEDNESDAY MORNING. AS SKIES CLEAR EAST OF THE BLUE RIDGE..AN
EARLY SPRING ADVECTIVE FREEZE REMAINS LIKELY. DEEP LAYERED DRY AIR
AND SFC RIDGING WILL BUILD ATOP THE REGION ON WEDNESDAY BUT MAX
TEMPERATURES WILL STILL BE 15 TO 18 DEG F BELOW NORMAL.

&&

.SHORT TERM /WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY/...
AS OF 230 PM EDT...SHORTWAVE RIDGING WILL CROSS THE AREA FROM THE
WEST WED NIGHT...WITH SFC HIGH PRES STEADILY MOVING OFF THE ERN
SEABOARD THROUGH THU. GOOD RADIATING CONDITIONS EARLY WILL ALLOW
TEMPS TO DROP QUICKLY WED NIGHT...BUT HIGH CLOUDS ENCROACHING FROM
THE WSW LATE MIGHT SLOW THE FALL. TEMPS ARE EXPECTED TO DIP NEAR OR
BELOW FREEZING IN THE CURRENTLY ACTIVE FROST AREA...SO A FREEZE
WATCH WILL BE POSTED...WITH AT LEAST PATCHY FROST IN THE FORECAST AS
WELL THU MORNING.

A SERIES OF SHORTWAVES WILL CARVE OUT FALLING HEIGHTS FROM THE
ROCKIES TOWARD THE MID MS VALLEY THU THROUGH FRI. A LEAD BATCH OF
BETTER MOISTURE AHEAD OF THE TROUGH WILL GRADUALLY RETURN FROM THE
WEST THU THROUGH THU NIGHT. HOWEVER....THE DEEPER MOISTURE WILL BE
DELAYED UNTIL FRI MORNING...ALONG WITH IMPROVING UPPER JET
DIVERGENCE AND STRENGTHENING LOW LEVEL UPGLIDE...TO WARRANT LIKELY
POPS FOR RAIN SHOWERS FRI. THERE WILL BE A LITTLE PIEDMONT
INSTABILITY FRI AFTN...BUT NOT ENOUGH TO WARRANT A THUNDER MENTION
AT PRESENT. MAXES WILL CONTINUE TO REBOUND TO WITHIN ABOUT 5 DEGREES
OF CLIMO.

&&

.LONG TERM /FRIDAY NIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY/...
AS OF 230 PM MONDAY...FAST...QUASI-ZONAL FLOW WILL BE THE STORY
THROUGH THE EXTENDED RANGE. A SERIES OF PACIFIC SHORT WAVES WILL
RACE ACROSS THE COUNTRY DURING THIS TIME. THE MODELS NEVER HANDLE
TIMING WELL IN THESE SITUATIONS...AND THERE ARE ALSO ISSUES WITH
HOW MUCH THE SHORT/MEDIUM WAVE TROFS AMPLIFY AS THE MOVE INTO THE
ERN CONUS.

FRIDAY NIGHT THE STRONGER LLVL ASCENT SHOULD BEGIN TO WORK EAST OF
THE REGION. HOWEVER...THE NEW NAM STILL HAS A 30-40 KT H8 LLVL JET
OVER THE REGION DURING THE NIGHT. AND THE SREF HAS IT/S GREATEST QPE
OVER THE FA AT 00 UTC SATURDAY. SO IT WOULD MAKE SENSE TO HOLD ON TO
HIGH POPS THROUGH FRIDAY NIGHT AND I HAVE MAINTAINED LIKELY POPS.

THE LATEST RUNS OF THE GFS AND ECMWF DIG THE WAVE CROSSING THE
REGION ON SATURDAY MORE THAN THEY DID ON PREVIOUS RUNS. THIS SLOWS
THE SFC FRONT WHICH IS NOW NOT EXPECTED TO CROSS THE REGION UNTIL
SATURDAY EVENING. THE MODELS ALSO DEEPEN A SFC LOW OVER WEST
VIRGINIA DURING THE DAY ON SATURDAY. THIS RESULTS IN BACKING LLVL
FLOW ALONG WITH ABOUT A 50KT MID-LEVEL WIND FIELD. DEPENDING UPON
HOW MUCH MOISTURE RETURN WE SEE...THIS REGIME COULD SUPPORT STRONG
TO SEVERE STORMS OVER PARTS OF THE DEEP SOUTH.

HIGH PRESSURE WILL BUILD IN FOR THE SUNDAY AND MONDAY PERIOD. THE
AIRMASS WILL BE QUITE MILD AND TEMPERATURES SHOULD RUN A FEW DEGREES
ABOVE NORMAL BOTH DAYS. BY TUESDAY THERE ARE MODEL DIFFERENCES IN
HOW MUCH THE NEXT APPROACHING PACIFIC SHORT WAVE AMPLIFIES. IT/S WAY
TO EARLY TO HAZARD A GUESS AS TO WHICH SOLUTION IS RIGHT. FOR NOW
I/VE GONE WITH A DRY AND MILD FORECAST.

&&

.AVIATION /21Z TUESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/...
AT KCLT...A PASSING SHOWER...PERHAPS ACCOMPANIED BY A LITTLE
MIXED PCPN IS NOT OUT OF THE QUESTION THROUGH 22-23Z. CLEARING SKIES
ARE ON TAP FOR TONIGHT AND WINDS SHOULD SLOWLY LOSE THEIR GUSTINESS
AS THE EVENING WEARS ON. VFR WITH LIGHTER WINDS EXPECTED FOR
WEDNESDAY.

ELSEWHERE ACRS THE FA...SCATTERED RAIN SHOWERS EAST OF THE BLUE
RIDGE WILL DISSIPATE BEFORE SUNSET BUT SNOW WILL LINGER IN THE NC
MTNS. WITHIN DEEP CYCLONIC FLOW...GUSTY WEST OR NW WINDS WILL BE
SEEN INTO THIS EVENING AS ANY CIGS BECOMING INCREASINGLY LIMITED
TO THE NC MTNS.

OUTLOOK...DRY HIGH PRESSURE WILL BE SEEN WEDNESDAY AND THURSDAY
BEFORE SHOWER CHANCES RETURN THURSDAY NIGHT INTO SATURDAY.

.FIRE WEATHER...
WINDS SHOULD SUBSIDE EARLY WED BEFORE CRITICAL RH VALUES CAN

OVERLAP BETWEEN WIND AND DRY CONDITIONS ON WED...NO FIRE DANGER SPS
