AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE GREENVILLE-SPARTANBURG SC
446 AM EST SAT FEB 14 2015

.SYNOPSIS...
A COLD CANADIAN AIRMASS WILL CONTINUE TO BUILD OVER THE REGION
TONIGHT. AN ARCTIC COLD FRONT WILL CROSS THE AREA SATURDAY
EVENING...BRINGING ANOTHER VERY COLD AIRMASS TO THE REGION BY
SUNDAY. MOISTURE IS FORECAST TO SPREAD BACK INTO THE AREA ON
MONDAY...WITH LOW PRESSURE MOVING BY TO THE SOUTH ON TUESDAY AND
TUESDAY NIGHT. ANOTHER COLD HIGH WILL MOVE BACK IN FOR THE MIDDLE
OF NEXT WEEK.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...
AS OF 330 AM...A DEEP UPPER LEVEL POLAR LOW WILL DROP INTO THE GREAT
LAKES TODAY AND CONTINUE TO INTENSIFY AS IT CROSSES THE NORTHEAST
STATES TONIGHT. THIS SYSTEM WILL ALLOW A STRONG ARCTIC COLD FRONT TO
SURGE SOUTH THRU THE OHIO VALLEY THIS MORNING...AND REACH THE NC
MTNS BY MIDAFTN. THE PRES GRAD AHEAD OF THE FRONT WILL
INCREASE...RESULTING IN BREEZY WEST TO SOUTHWEST WINDS THIS AFTN.
THIS IN COMBINATION WITH A NICE REBOUND IN TEMPS AND DEWPTS
REMAINING INTO THE TEENS WILL CAUSE SOME FIRE WX CONCERNS (SEE FIRE
WX SECTION BELOW). TEMPS ARE EXPECTED TO BE NEAR NORMAL...WITH
MAINLY 40S ABOVE 3500 FT AND LWR-MID 50S BELOW.

THE ARRIVAL OF THE FRONT WILL USHER IN A BRIEF SHOT OF
MOISTURE...AND A QUICK DROP IN TEMPS EARLY THIS EVENING IN THE MTNS.
THE MODELS ARE IN DECENT AGREEMENT THAT QPF WILL BE QUITE LIMITED BY
THE BRIEF PERIOD OF GOOD NW FLOW CONDITIONS. STILL...WITH GOOD
OROGRAPHIC LIFT INTO THE IDEAL SNOW GROWTH TEMP ZONE (-10 TO -
15C)...AND INCREASING SNOW-LIQUID RATIOS...A QUICK 1-3" OF SNOW IS
POSSIBLE. SO WILL ISSUE A WINTER WX ADVISORY FOR THE TN BORDER
COUNTIES...STARTING AT 4 PM...AND ENDING AT 4 AM.

OUTSIDE THE MTNS...THE CONCERN WILL BE A SUDDEN INCREASE IN WINDS
AND GUSTS. THE NAM AND GFS BUFKIT SOUNDINGS BOTH SHOW 30-40 KT GUST
POTENTIAL...WITH NW WINDS OF 50+ KTS AT THE TOP OF THE MIXED LAYER
ACRS THE NC FOOTHILLS AND NW PIEDMONT. SO WILL ADD A WIND ADV FOR
THOSE AREAS. IT WILL BE WINDY EVERYWHERE THIS EVENING. THE CURRENT
WIND ADV AND HIGH WIND WARNING IN THE MTNS LOOKS GOOD. EXPECT
FREQUENT GUSTS OF 50-60 MPH TONIGHT ABOVE 3500 FT AND IN THE NRN
MTNS AND ADJACENT FOOTHILLS.

OVERNIGHT...AS TEMPS DROP...WIND CHILLS ARE EXPECTED TO FALL TO -5
TO -15 F RANGE IN THE MTNS. HAVE UPGRADED THE WIND CHILL WATCH TO A
WARNING FOR ALL ZONES...AND DECIDED TO ADD THE REST OF THE SRN NC
MTNS...EVEN THO THE TRUE WARNING CRITERIA VALUES (< -15) WILL
GENERALLY BE ABOVE 3500 FT. THEN ADDED A WIND CHILL ADVISORY FOR THE
ADJACENT ZONES FROM RABUN GA TO ALEXANDER NC WHERE WIND CHILLS WILL
APPROACH 0 F AT TIMES. WHERE THE WIND CHILL ADVISORY IS IN
EFFECT...NO WIND ADV WAS ISSUED...AS WILL MENTION THE WIND HAZARD IN
THAT PRODUCT. TEMPS OVERNIGHT SHUD DROP INTO THE SINGLE DIGITS (EVEN
SUB-ZERO ABOVE ABOUT 5000 FT) IN THE MTNS...AND IN THE TEENS TO LWR
20S IN THE PIEDMONT. BITTERLY COLD FOR SUNDAY MORNING.

&&

.SHORT TERM /SUNDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
AS OF 430 AM SATURDAY...A VERY COMPLICATED SHORT RANGE FORECAST
PERIOD FROM SUNDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY. GENERALLY SPEAKING...I USED A
COMPROMISE OF THE 0Z ECMWF AND THE 0Z GFS THROUGH THE PERIOD. ON
SUNDAY...SHORT RANGE GUIDANCE INDICATES THAT AN ARCTIC AIR MASS WILL
BUILD ACROSS THE REGION THROUGH THE DAY. LLVL FLOW WILL REMAIN FROM
THE NW THROUGH THE DAY...SKY SHOULD BE SUNNY DURING THE MORNING WITH
HIGH CLOUDS ARRIVING THROUGH THE AFTERNOON. LINGERING COLD LLVL
THICKNESSES AND INCREASING CLOUD COVER SHOULD LIMIT DIURNAL HEATING
ON SUNDAY. I WILL FORECAST HIGHS IN THE TEENS TO MID 20S ACROSS THE
MTNS TO 30 TO 35 DEGREES EAST. THE AVERAGE TEMPERATURE ON SUNDAY IS
EXPECTED TO FALL 15 TO 20 DEGREES BELOW MID JANUARY
AVERAGES...EASILY EXCEEDING THE THRESHOLD FOR CONSIDERED THE FIRST
DAY OF THE UPCOMING COLD WAVE. IN ADDITION...AFTERNOON DEWPOINTS
SHOULD FALL IN THE SINGLE DIGITS BELOW ZERO...RESULTING IN
WIDESPREAD CRITICAL RH VALUES.

ON MONDAY...THE CENTER OF A MODIFYING ARCTIC HIGH WILL LIKELY SLIDE
OVER THE NEW ENGLAND AREA...RIDGING SW ACROSS THE CAROLINAS. MIN
TEMPERATURES ARE FORECAST TO RANGE IN THE TEENS ACROSS THE MTNS TO
AROUND 20 DEGREES EAST. BY DAYBREAK...A SFC LOW IS EXPECTED TO FORM
ACROSS EAST TX/LA AS A MID LEVEL SHORT WAVE DIVES SOUTHEAST OFF THE
ROCKIES. ECMWF/GFS INDICATE THAT DEEP MOISTURE WILL DEVELOP WITHIN
AN INVERTED TROF AND REGION OF JET DIVERGENCE...EXTENDING AS FAR NE
AS THE GREAT TN VALLEY BY 12Z MON. THE BAND OF FORCING AND MOISTURE
SHOULD DRIFT OVER THE SOUTHERN APPALACHIANS DURING THE DAYLIGHT
HOURS MON. I WILL INCREASE POPS THROUGH THE DAY...WITH LIKELY ACROSS
THE UPPER SAVANNAH RIVER VALLEY AND WESTERN NC MTNS TO CHC ALONG THE
I-77 CORRIDOR BY MON AFTERNOON. FORECAST SOUNDINGS AND PARTIAL
THICKNESSES INDICATE THAT THE PRECIP WILL FALL AS LIGHT SNOW. ONE OF
THE GREATEST CHALLENGES IS DISCERNING THE QPF ON MONDAY. GUIDANCE
RANGES ARE VERY SIGNIFICANT...TO THE POINT THAT A STRAIGHT
COMPROMISE APPEARS TOO HIGH. I WILL RELY ON ENSEMBLE GUIDANCE
BLENDED WITH THE PREVIOUS FORECAST. THE RESULT INDICATES THAT THE
CWA COULD HAVE A COATING OF LIGHT SNOW BY SUNSET MON. IN
ADDITION...TEMPERATURES WILL BE CONSIDERED AS THE SECOND DAY OF THE
COLD WAVE.

MONDAY NIGHT...UNCERTAINTY TAKES A LEAP UPWARD. THE ECMWF INDICATES
THAT DRY AIR WILL SWEEP IN FROM THE WEST...LEAVING THE MAJORITY OF
THE CWA DRY BY SUNRISE. THE GFS INDICATES THAT ISENTROPIC LIFT WILL
SURGE ACROSS THE REGION...AS THE CENTER OF THE LOW SLIDES ALONG THE
EASTERN BORDER OF INSITU CAD EVENT. IT IS A VERY TOUGH CALL...BUT
THE YEARS I HAVE BEEN AT THIS DESK...I HAVE SEEN THE GIVEN GFS
SCENARIO OF A MILLER A/CAD PLAY OUT MORE OFTEN THAN THE ECMWF/S CLEAN
LOW DEPARTURE. THIS APPROACH WILL CREATE PROBLEMS WITH P-TYPES...AS
A WARM NOSE SLIDE NORTH AHEAD OF THE LOW...CREATING A MIX OF
FREEZING RAIN AND SLEET EAST OF THE MTNS. SNOW SHOULD CONTINUE
ACROSS THE MTNS...WITH PRECIP FALLING AS A COLD RAIN EAST OF THE
MTNS TUESDAY. BY TUESDAY EVENING...THE SYSTEM WILL DEVELOP INTO A
NOREASTER AND CAA WILL SWEEP ACROSS THE REGION....MIXING PRECIP BACK
TO SNOW. ON WEDNESDAY...CONDITIONS WILL DRY...WITH LIGHT SNOW
CONTINUING ACROSS THE TN BORDER COUNTIES. STORM TOTAL SNOW AND ICE
FORECAST ARE UNCERTAIN...HOWEVER...IT APPEARS THAT WINTER STORM
CRITERIA SNOW IS POSSIBLE ACROSS MOST OF THE REGION. AREAS ACROSS
THE LAKELANDS OF SC/GA WILL SEE MORE FREEZING RAIN...YIELDING LOWER
AMOUNTS OF SNOW. THE FORECAST IS IN CLOSE AGREEMENT WITH WPC SNOW
AND ICE VALUES AND CIPS ANALOG MEANS.

&&

.LONG TERM /WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY/...
AS OF 445 PM SATURDAY...THE EXTENDED PERIOD APPEARS VERY COLD.
THURSDAY MORNING...THE GFS AND ECMWF SUPPORTS THE COLDEST H85 TEMPS
I HAVE SEEN THIS WINTER...WITH -20C ACROSS THE I-85 CORRIDOR.
PROVIDED A LINGERING SNOWPACK...MIN TEMPERATURES SHOULD EASILY FALL
TO THE SINGLE DIGITS TO NEAR ZERO ACROSS THE MTNS...WITH SINGLE
DIGITS TO TEENS EAST. LOW TEMPERATURES MAY REACH DAILY RECORD LOW
VALUES FROM 1958. WINDS WILL REMAIN ABOVE THE THRESHOLD TO HIGHLIGHT
WIND CHILLS...POSSIBLY SUPPORTING WARNING CRITERIA ACROSS THE MTNS
WITH ADVISORY ACROSS THE ADJACENT FOOTHILLS THURSDAY MORNING. HIGH
TEMPERATURES SHOULD REMAIN 20 DEGREES BELOW NORMAL.

FOR FRIDAY...THE ECMWF AND GFS INDICATE ANOTHER POTENTIAL WINTER
WEATHER EVENT...FEATURING ARCTIC HIGH PRESSURE TO THE NORTH AND LOW
APPROACHING FROM THE DEEP SOUTH. THE ECMWF IS QUITE WET AND
COLD...THE GFS IS MORE MODERATE. I WILL INTRODUCE SCHC POPS FOR SNOW.

&&

.AVIATION /10Z SATURDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
AT KCLT AND ELSEWHERE...VFR CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED THRU THE
PERIOD. BUT THE MAIN CONCERN WILL BE GUSTY WINDS FROM THIS AFTN THRU
THIS EVENING. A STRONG ARCTIC FRONT WILL CROSS THE AREA EARLY THIS
EVENING. A TIGHTENING PRES GRAD ACRS THE REGION WILL RESULT IN GUSTY
WSW WINDS THIS AFTN...THEN SHIFTING TO WNW BEHIND THE FRONT AROUND
THE 23-02Z TIME FRAME. SKIES SHUD GENERALLY BE CLEAR...WITH
OCCASIONAL MID CLOUDS OR CIRRUS. THE EXCEPTION IS AT KAVL...WHERE
WINDS WILL STAY OUT OF THE NW THRU THE PERIOD. KAVL MAY SEE BRIEF
RESTRICTIONS WITH NW FLOW MOISTURE THIS EVENING...PERHAPS EVEN A
COUPLE OF SNOW SHWRS. CONFIDENCE IS ONLY AROUND 30-50%. SO NO
MENTION OF MVFR CIGS OR SNOW IN THIS TAF.

OUTLOOK...A STRONG ARCTIC COLD FRONT WILL MOVE THROUGH THE AREA SAT
NIGHT. STRONG AND GUSTY NW GUSTY WINDS WILL RESULT WITH SNOW
FLURRIES WITH MVFR CIGS AND SNOW FLURRIES AFFECTING KAVL SAT NIGHT.
VFR CONDITIONS WITH DIMINISHING WINDS ARE EXPECTED SUNDAY. VFR
CONDITIONS SHOULD PERSIST INTO MONDAY. HOWEVER RESTRICTIONS DUE TO
SNOW MAY DEVELOP LATE MONDAY INTO TUESDAY.
