AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE GREENVILLE-SPARTANBURG SC
134 PM EST THU MAR 6 2014

.SYNOPSIS...
A COASTAL LOW WILL STRENGTHEN AND MOVE FROM FLORIDA UP THE ATLANTIC
COAST TONIGHT AND FRIDAY.  DRIER AND WARMER HIGH PRESSURE IS THEN
EXPECTED TO RETURN TO OUR REGION THIS WEEKEND AND PERSIST THROUGH
EARLY NEXT WEEK.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...
AS OF 955 AM...DENSE CIRRUS SHIELD CONTINUES TO OVERSPREAD THE AREA
LATE THIS MORNING. CONSIDERING THAT TEMPS HAVE ONLY WARMED TO THE
MID 30S OR SO THUS FAR...THE MAX TEMP FORECAST IS IN JEOPARDY OF
BEING TOO WARM...ESP IN LIGHT OF LOW LEVEL CAA RESULTING FROM ONSET
OF COLD AIR DAMMING. WE HAVE BEGUN THE PROCESS OF STEPPING BACK THE
FORECAST THIS AFTERNOON...NOW THINKING THAT MOST LOCATIONS WILL ONLY
SEE HIGHS OF AROUND 40. THIS IS OF PARTICULAR INTEREST CONSIDERING
THE DRYNESS OF THE AIR MASS...AND ATTENDANT IMPACT UPON SURFACE WET
BULB TEMPS...WHICH ARE SUB-FREEZING ACROSS THE ENTIRE FORECAST AREA.
PRECIP ASSOCIATED WITH ONGOING NORTHERN GMEX CYCLOGENESIS REMAINS
POISED TO MOVE INTO OUR SOUTHERN ZONES THIS AFTERNOON. WE WILL
ADVERTISE PRECIP ONSET AS A MIX OF RA/SLEET AS IT OVERSPREADS THE
AREA FROM SOUTH TO NORTH THIS AFTERNOON INTO THIS EVENING...WITH NO
SIGNIFICANT ACCUMS ANTICIPATED ANYWHERE IN THE CWA THROUGH 00Z.

IN TERMS OF THE MAIN EVENT TONIGHT/EARLY FRIDAY...UNCERTAINTY STILL
REMAINS...AS THE 12Z NAM IS STICKING TO ITS GUNS IN DEVELOPING
TREMENDOUS WAA NORTH OF THE DEVELOPING SOUTHEAST COASTAL CYCLONE...
AND PUNCHING A STRONG WARM NOSE INTO OUR AREA THIS EVENING...
SUGGESTING PRIMARILY AN ICING CONCERN...ESP FOR AREAS FROM THE BLUE
RIDGE EAST ALONG THE I-40 CORRIDOR. HOWEVER...THIS SCENARIO IS NOT
SUPPORTED BY OTHER OPERATIONAL GUIDANCE...AND ONLY 1/3 OR SO OF THE
SREF ENSEMBLE MEMBERS. WHILE UNCERTAINTY REMAINS HIGH REGARDING THE
THERMAL STRUCTURE ABOVE THE SURFACE...BECOMING MORE CONVINCED THAT
STRONG/CLASSICAL CAD WILL BE ABLE TO SUPPORT AN EXTENDED PERIOD OF
FREEZING/SUB-FREEZING TEMPS IN THE CLIMATOLOGICALLY FAVORED AREAS
NEAR THE BLUE RIDGE...AND ALONG THE I-40 CORRIDOR IN THE PIEDMONT.
STRONGLY SUSPECT THAT THE ADVISORY WILL NEED AN UPGRADE FOR THE BLUE
RIDGE AREAS...AND WILL NEED TO CONSIDER AN UPGRADE ALONG THE I-40
CORRIDOR AS WELL. SINCE OUR WINDOW OF OPPORTUNITY FOR ADEQUATE LEAD
TIME IS RAPIDLY SHRINKING...THE PLAN IS TO MAKE FAIRLY QUICK
DECISIONS ONCE THE 12Z GFS TRICKLES IN.

AS OF DAYBREAK...QUIET ACROSS THE WESTERN CAROLINAS AND NORTHEAST
GEORGIA UNDER THICKENING MID/HIGH LEVEL CLOUDS. THE LEADING EDGE OF
THE PRECIP REMAINS WELL TO THE SOUTH OVER SRN GEORGIA.

WE HAVE BEEN WATCHING THE FCST DEVELOPMENT OF A CLOSED MID/UPPER LOW
OVER THE SOUTHEAST FOR THE LAST SEVERAL DAYS...AND THE MODELS HAVE
CONVERGED MORE OR LESS ON A SOLUTION...CLOSING OFF THE LOW THIS
MORNING OVER THE MS DELTA REGION...AS SEEN ON WATER VAPOR IMAGERY.
IN RESPONSE...A SURFACE LOW WILL SLOWLY ORGANIZE AND MOVE FROM THE
NORTHEAST GULF...ACROSS THE FL PENINSULA LATE TODAY...AND OFF THE
SOUTHEAST COAST TONIGHT. THE MID/UPPER LOW WILL SPREAD ALL MANNER OF
FORCING UP FROM THE SOUTH WITH DEEP GULF/ATLANTIC MOISTURE...SO
PRECIP LOOKS LIKE A SAFE BET. ONLY THE ONSET TIME IS IN DOUBT FOR
TODAY...AND THE TREND OF THE MODELS SUGGESTS THAT PRECIP WOULD
DEVELOP FROM S TO N THROUGHOUT THE DAY SUCH THAT WE BEGIN DRY AND
MOVE THE LEADING EDGE OF THE PRECIP CHANCES TO I-40 BY SUNSET. ALTHO
IT WILL BE WELL BELOW NORMAL TODAY...TEMPS WILL REMAIN WARM ENOUGH
INITIALLY THAT PRECIP SHOULD BE RAIN AT ONSET...PERHAPS MIXED WITH
SOME SLEET E OF THE MTNS...OR SNOW/SLEET OVER THE HIGHER TERRAIN.

THINGS GET INTERESTING TONIGHT AS PRECIP ENGULFS THE ENTIRE REGION.
THE GFS CONTINUES TO BE ON THE COOL SIDE OF THE GUIDANCE WITH MUCH
LOWER THICKNESSES...WHILE THERE IS GOOD AGREEMENT AMONG THE
NAM/ECMWF/CANADIAN/SREF POINTING MORE TOWARD MORE OF A SLEET/
FREEZING RAIN SCENARIO OVER THE NRN ZONES. ALTHO THE NAM/ECMWF IS
PREFERRED...THE FCST USES A BLEND OF THE NAM AND GFS IN ORDER TO
ACCOUNT FOR THE POSSIBILITY THAT PROFILES MIGHT BE COOLER
OVERNIGHT...THUS MORE OF A SNOW/SLEET POSSIBILITY OVER THE HIGHER
TERRAIN AND NC BLUE RIDGE. WHAT FALLS OUT OF THIS PROCESS IS A
COMPLEX ELEVATION DEPENDENT SNOW/SLEET SCENARIO OVER THE CENTRAL AND
NRN MTNS OF NC...THAT SHOULD CHANGE OVER TO FREEZING RAIN AND RAIN
AS THE WARM NOSE STRENGTHENS WITH WARM ADVECTION IN THE EASTERLY
ATLANTIC FLOW ON THE N SIDE OF THE LOW BY DAYBREAK. THE NC FOOTHILLS
AND NW PIEDMONT WOULD SEE PRECIP BECOMING SLEET IN THE
EVENING...THEN CHANGING OVER TO FREEZING RAIN IN THE EARLY MORNING
HOURS...AND EVENTUALLY RAIN AROUND DAYBREAK. ANOTHER GUIDANCE TREND
IS THE WETTER NAM SOLUTION...WHICH MIGHT RAISE PRECIP AMTS ENOUGH TO
WORRY ABOUT WARNING CRITERIA. AS CONSTRUCTED...THERE IS THE
POTENTIAL FOR UP TO TWO TENTHS OF ICE OVER PARTS OF THE NW
PIEDMONT...AND 2-3 INCHES OF SNOW OVER MAINLY THE HIGHER ELEVATIONS
OF THE CENTRAL/NRN MTNS OF NC. WILL ISSUE A WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY
FOR TONIGHT THROUGH NOON FRIDAY TO HANDLE THIS. THERE IS SOME RISK
THAT IF WARMER AIR DOES NOT COME IN AS MUCH AS EXPECTED THAT MORE
PRECIP OVER THE MTNS WOULD FALL AS SNOW/SLEET...AND THAT FREEZING
RAIN WOULD HANG ON LONGER OVER THE NW PIEDMONT...SO SOME ADJUSTMENTS
ON THE FLY MIGHT BE ANTICIPATED. ELSEWHERE...JUST A COLD RAIN FOR
METRO CHARLOTTE/UPSTATE SC/NE GEORGIA/AND THE SRN MTNS OF NC.

&&

.SHORT TERM /FRIDAY THROUGH SATURDAY NIGHT/...
AT 230 PM EST THURSDAY...THE UPPER LOW AND ASSOCIATED SURFACE
CYCLONE WILL BE OFF THE CAROLINA COAST AT THE BEGINNING OF THE PERIOD
AND WILL MOVE QUICKLY NE AWAY FROM THE AREA FRIDAY NIGHT. THIS WILL
ALLOW UPPER HEIGHTS TO QUICKLY BUILD OVER THE REGION FRIDAY NIGHT. A
FLAT UPPER RIDGE WILL THEN PERSIST OVER THE SE U.S. THROUGH SUNDAY.
A SHORT WAVE MOVING THROUGH THE NORTHERN STREAM WILL PUSH A WEAK
BACKDOOR COLD FRONT INTO THE AREA ON SUNDAY.

IN REGARD TO SENSIBLE WEATHER...CLOUDS WILL QUICKLY PULL OUT TO THE
EAST FRIDAY NIGHT AS SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS EAST OVER THE
AREA. GENERALLY CLEAR CONDITIONS WILL PERSIST THROUGH SATURDAY. AS THE
WEAK FRONT APPROACHES...CLOUDS WILL BE ON THE INCREASE EARLY SUN.
HOWEVER...WITH DOWNSLOPE FLOW ON SUNDAY A MIX OF SUN AND CLOUDS
LOOKS TO BE A GOOD BET. CAN'T COMPLETELY RULE OUT SOME LIGHT SHOWERS
REACHING THE MOUNTAIN COUNTIES ADJACENT TO TENNESSEE ON SUNDAY AS
THE FRONT ARRIVES. HOWEVER...THE CHANCE FOR MEASURABLE PRECIP APPEARS
TO BE LESS THAN 30 PERCENT.

THE BIG STORY WILL BE THE WARM UP WHICH WILL COMMENCER ON SAT. LOW
LEVEL THICKNESS SUPPORTS MAX TEMPS OF 65 TO 70 BOTH SAT AND SUN
OUTSIDE THE MOUTNAINS...WITH 60S IN THE MOUNTAINS. THIS LOOKS
REASONABLE CONSIDERING THE GENERAL DOWNSLOPE FLOW THAT WILL
PREVAIL.

&&

.LONG TERM /SUNDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
AS OF 215 AM THURSDAY...THE MEDIUM RANGE FCST PICKS UP AT 12Z ON
SUNDAY WITH A LOW AMPLITUDE UPPER SHORTWAVE OVER THE FCST AREA AND A
NEARLY CUTOFF SOUTHERN STREAM UPPER TROF OVER THE EXTREME SW CONUS.
OVER THE NEXT 24 TO 48 HRS...THE PATTERN REMAINS FAIRLY ZONAL OVER
THE SE CONUS WHILE THE SOUTHERN STREAM TROF DRIFTS VERY SLOWLY
EASTWARD. BEYOND THIS POINT...THE LONG RANGE MODEL SOLUTIONS BEGIN
TO DIVERGE CONSIDERABLY WRT TO THE SYNOPTIC PATTERN EVOLUTION. THE
NEWER 00Z RUN OF THE GFS AMPLIFIES A BROAD UPPER TROF OVER THE GREAT
LAKES REGION ON WED AND EVENTUALLY DIGS THE TROF SOUTHWARD AND TO
OUR WESTERN FRINGE BY THE END OF THE MEDIUM RANGE...WHILE THE ECMWF
IS FASTER TO AMPLIFY THE TROF AND MOVE IT TO OUR DOORSTEP BY LATE
WED/EARLY THURS.

AT THE SFC..A WEAK AND DRY COLD FRONT IS EXPECTED TO MOVE THRU THE
CWFA EARLY SUN WITH HIGH PRESSURE MOVING IN BEHIND IT. HIGH PRESSURE
IS EXPECTED TO REMAIN OVER THE REGION THRU TUES WITH ANOTHER LOW
DEVELOPING TO OUR WEST LATE TUES/EARLY WED AND MOVING INTO THE CWFA
BY LATE WED/EARLY THURS. THE SPECIFIC TRACK AND PLACEMENT OF THE LOW
AS IT MOVES OVER THE REGION REMAINS AMBIGUOUS AT THIS POINT WITH
CONFIDENCE IMPROVING OVER THE NEXT FEW DAYS. FOR THE SENSIBLE
FCST...ONLY SLIGHT CHANCE POPS LINGER OVER THE NC MTS AT THE
BEGINNING OF THE MEDIUM RANGE AND TAPER OFF BY 00Z MONDAY. THE FCST
IS DRY UNTIL WE MOVE INTO LATE TUES WITH POPS RAMPING UP FROM SW TO
NE AND BECOMING SOLID CHANCE BY EARLY WED. PRECIP CHANCES PEAK LATE
WED INTO THURS AS THE LOW IS EXPECTED TO BE MOVING OVER THE FCST
AREA BY THAT TIME. TEMPS WILL START OUT ABOVE NORMAL ON SUN AND
LIKELY REMAIN ABOVE NORMAL THRU THE PERIOD.

&&

.AVIATION /19Z THURSDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...
AT KCLT...VFR CONDITIONS WILL CONTINUE THROUGH THE REMAINDER OF THE
AFTERNOON AND EARLY EVENING HOURS AS MOISTURE SPREADS ACROSS THE
REGION FROM THE SOUTH.  EXPECTING -RA TO MOVE INTO THE AREA BY
MID/LATE AFTERNOON WITH A POTENTIAL FOR A WINTRY MIX AT ONSET.
THUS...WENT WITH TEMPO FROM 19-23Z WITH AN MVFR VISB AND -RAPL.  AT
23Z PREVAILED -RA BR WITH AN MVFR VISB AND A LOW VFR CIG.
ISENTROPIC ASCENT WILL RAMP UP FURTHER BY LATE EVENING LEADING TO
CIGS DROPPING TO IFR LEVELS WITH A PREDOMINATE -RA PTYPE.  AS
TEMPERATURES COOL DIURNALLY BY EARLY MORNING...A BRIEF WINDOW OF
FZRA IS POSSIBLE AS LOW TEMPERATURES AT THE SURFACE FALL TO FREEZING
LEVELS.  TEMPERATURES ARE EXPECTED TO WARM BY LATE MORNING LEADING
TO AN ALL RA TRANSITION LASTING THROUGH THE END OF THIS TAF CYCLE.
WINDS THROUGH THE PERIOD WILL BE RATHER STRONG AS THE CAD BUILDS IN
FROM THE NORTHEAST.  THUS...EXPECTING NE WINDS SUSTAINED AROUND THE
15KTS MARK WITH GUSTS NEARING 25KTS BY EARLY MORNING.

AT KAVL...EXPECTING SLIGHTLY IMPROVED CONDITIONS FROM THAT OF SITES
TO THE EAST.  INITIALIZED TAF WITH ENE WINDS AT AROUND 11KTS UNDER
BKN HIGH LEVEL CIGS.  EXPECTING PRECIPITATION TO MOVE INTO THE
REGION AROUND THE 20-21Z TIMEFRAME IN THE FORM OF A WINTRY MIX WITH
-RAPL PREVAILING.  AT THAT TIME..VISB WILL LOWER TO MVFR LEVELS WITH
CIGS HOLDING AT LOW END VFR.  BY EARLY EVENING...THERMAL PROFILES
SUPPORT A CHANGEOVER TO -SNPL WITH CIGS AND VISBS LOWERING TO MVFR
LEVELS WITH WINDS BACKING SLIGHTLY TO THE NORTH AT AROUND 8-10KTS.
THESE CONDITIONS WILL PREVAIL THROUGH THE MID MORNING WHEN
TEMPERATURES WARM THROUGH THE COLUMN TO LEVELS NOT SUPPORTIVE OF
WINTRY PRECIPIATION...THUS WENT WITH A PTYPE CHANGEOVER TO ALL RA AT
AROUND 10Z UNDER MVFR CIG/VISB RESTRICITIONS.

ELSEHWERE...MUCH THE SAME AS KCLT ABOVE WITH VFR CONDITIONS
PREVAILING THROUGH THE LATE AFTERNOON BEFORE MOISTURE SPREADS IN THE
FROM THE SOUTH AS ISENTROPIC ASCENT RAMPS UP AHEAD OF THE
APPROACHING SURFACE CYCLONE.  CONDITIONS WILL DETERIORATE AT ALL
SITES FROM VFR TO MVFR...BEFORE BOTTOMING OUT AT IFR LEVELS AS
PRECIPIATION SHIELD OVERSPREADS THE REGION.  PTYPES WILL LIKELY BE
MIXED EARLY ON AT KGSP...KGMU...AND KHKY WHILE KAND SHOULD STAY
PREDOMINATELY RA.  OVERNIGHT...PTYPES WILL TRANSITION TO RA AT ALL
SC SITES WITH A WINTRY MIX REMAINING LIKELY AT KHKY WHERE TAF
HIGHLIGHTS SN...PL...AND FZRA.  AS FOR CIGS AND VISBS...EXPECTING
IFR RESTRICITONS TO PREVAIL THROUGH MID MORNING BEFORE LIFTING TO
MVFR LEVELS THROUGH THE REMAINDER OF THE PERIOD AS THE MOISTURE
PLUME EJECTS TO THE NORTHEAST.  WINDS WILL BE STRONG OVERNIGHT AT
ALL SITES WILL SUSTAINED NE WINDS OF AROUND 15-20KTS POSSIBLE WITH
GUSTS NEARING 25-30KTS...ESPECIALLY AT THE SC SITES.

OUTLOOK...IFR/MVFR FLIGHT RESTRICTIONS AND PRECIPITATION COVERAGE
WILL CONTINUE INTO FRI MORNING...WITH PRECIP POSSIBLY LINGERING
THROUGH FRIDAY AFTN AS LOW PRESSURE PULLS AWAY ALONG THE EAST COAST.
THE BEST CHANCE OF FREEZING/FROZEN PRECIPITATION WILL BE ACROSS THE
NC PIEDMONT THROUGH MIDDAY FRI. DRY HIGH PRESSURE AND IMPROVING
CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED THROUGH SAT...WITH A DRY COLD FRONT CROSSING
ON SUNDAY.
