FLOOD ADVISORY
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE GREENVILLE-SPARTANBURG SC
224 AM EST TUE DEC 29 2015

...The Flood Advisory continues for the French Broad River...
  French Broad River At Asheville affecting Buncombe County

Heavy rain moving across the area has saturated the ground and caused
river levels to rise. Additional rainfall will likely cause the river
to crest just below flood stage.



PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

A Flood Advisory for a river forecast point means that nuisance 
flooding is expected to occur along the river when the river level is
forecast to be just below or at the official  flood stage.

Caution is urged when walking near river banks...keep children away 
from drainage areas and culverts.

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE GREENVILLE-SPARTANBURG SC
119 PM EST MON DEC 28 2015

.SYNOPSIS...
MOISTURE WILL SPREAD BACK INTO THE REGION THROUGH TUESDAY AHEAD OF
AN APPROACHING COLD FRONT.  THIS FRONT IS FORECAST TO STALL ATOP THE
REGION WEDNESDAY AND THURSDAY BEFORE DRY AND COOLER HIGH PRESSURE
BUILDS IN ON FRIDAY.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...
AS OF 1 PM EST...WATER VAPOR IMAGERY SHOWS A STRONG LOW CENTER
LIFTING NE INTO THE MIDWEST. THE NEAR TERM MODELS HAVE THIS FEATURE
LIFTING INTO THE GREAT LAKES THIS EVENING. SFC OBSERVATIONS SHOW A
BACK DOOR COLD FRONT DRAPED ALONG THE NRN PERIPHERY OF THE
REGION...AND A MODEL CONSENSUS BRINGS THIS BOUNDARY INTO THE
FORECAST AREA THIS EVENING...PROBABLY GETTING AS FAR SOUTH AS THE
NC/SC LINE...OR PERHAPS APPROACHING THE INTERSTATE 26 CORRIDOR
BEFORE STALLING. MEANWHILE...RADAR COVERAGE CONTINUES TO FAN OUT IN
BOTH THE UPSLOPE AREAS AND OVER THE APPROACHING WEDGE FRONTAL
BOUNDARY IN THE REGION OF BEST DEVELOPING UPGLIDE. THE DEEP MOISTURE
BAND ADVANCING FROM THE WEST ACROSS CENTRAL TN/NRN AL...THE
PERSISTENT AND STRENGTHENING UPSLOPE AND THE UPGLIDE OVER THE
SAGGING CAD BOUNDARY SHOULD LEAD TO MODERATE TO HEAVY RAIN SHOWERS
AT TIMES FOR MOST LOCATIONS THIS EVENING THROUGH THE EARLY
OVERNIGHT. GIVEN THE HIGH VALUES OF PRECIPITATABLE WATER...AND THE
UPSLOPE FOCUS TO THE PRECIPITATION...THE CURRENT FFA STILL APPEARS
WELL PLACED. THERE MAY BE MARGINAL SFC BASED INSTABILITY BUILDING IN
THE SE PIEDMONT WHERE SFC DEWPOINTS ARE IN THE UPPER 60S...BUT THE
DEVELOPING RAIN SHOWERS...LOW CLOUDS...AND WARM POCKETS ALOFT IN THE
SOUNDINGS ARE CAPPING INSTABILITY.

PEAK QPF PERIODS SHOULD BE THE EVENING THROUGH THE EARLY PART OF THE
OVERNIGHT HOURS...WITH UPGLIDE SLOWLY SHUTTING OFF FROM 09Z ONWARD
AS THE 850 MB FLOW VEERS MORE SWLY AND THE SFC BOUNDARY LIFTS BACK
NWD AS A WARM FRONT. THE TRAILING COLD FRONT SHOULD THEN CROSS THE
REGION SLOWLY ON TUE...BUT THERE IS CONSIDERABLE UNCERTAINTY ON WHEN
IT WILL MAKE IT THROUGH THE AREA AS THE UPPER FLOW BECOMES PARALLEL
TO THE BOUNDARY. THE FASTER GFS HAS LITTLE INSTABILITY FOR TUE
AFTN...WHILE THE SLOWER NAM HAS 500 TO 1000 J/KG OF LATE AFTN CAPE.
A BLENDED SOLUTION WILL KEEP SCHC TO CHC SHOWERS GOING IN SE
SECTIONS THROUGH LATE DAY.

&&

.SHORT TERM /TUESDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY NIGHT/...
AS OF 300 AM MONDAY...ON THE SYNOPTIC SIDE...STACKED MIDLEVEL
LOW WILL BE PUSHING TOWARD THE GREAT LAKES AS WE START THE SHORT
TERM....WITH OCCLUDED SURFACE FRONT STRETCHING FROM THE GREAT
LAKES DOWN THE WESTERN SLOPES OF THE APPALACHIANS. AT THE START
OF THE SHORT TERM...THE FRONT WILL BECOME ELONGATED AND BEGIN
TO DISSIPATE...BUT ANOTHER DEEP TROUGH OVER THE ROCKIES WILL
INCREASE THE DOWNSTREAM RIDGING OVER THE MISSISSIPPI VALLEY...NOT
REALLY ALLOWING THE COLD FRONT TO ACTUALLY MAKE IT THROUGH
THE AREA. ANOTHER SLUG OF MOISTURE FROM THE GULF WILL BEGIN TO
OVERSPREAD THE GULF COAST AND DEEP SOUTH WITH INCREASING DIFFLUENCE
ALOFT JUST DOWNSTREAM OF THE STRONG SHORTWAVE THAT PUSHES INTO THE
CENTRAL PLAINS EARLY WEDNESDAY. THIS SLUG OF MOISTURE WILL SPREAD
OVER THE SOUTHERN APPALACHIANS AS THE FORMER COLD FRONT LIFTS BACK
NORTH ACROSS THE AREA AS A WARM FRONT...FINALLY PUSHING TOWARD
THE PIEDMONT AND COASTAL PLAIN TOWARD THE END OF THE PERIOD.

MAIN CONCERN THROUGH THE SHORT TERM WILL BE YET ANOTHER ROUND
OF HEAVY RAIN. SEE HYDROLOGY SECTION BELOW FOR MORE DETAILS AND
IMPACTS. OF SECONDARY CONCERN IS THUNDER POTENTIAL BOTH TUESDAY
AFTERNOON AND WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON. FOR THE FORMER...SOME LARGE
DIFFERENCES BETWEEN HOW THE NAM AND GFS HANDLE THE INITIAL FRONTAL
PASSAGE...WITH THE GFS SCOURING OUT ALL SBCAPE BUT THE NAM A LITTLE
SLOWER WITH THE FRONT AND KEEPING 500-750 J/KG SBCAPE ACROSS THE
UPSTATE. SPC ONLY HAS GENERAL THUNDER ACROSS THE AREA AND WITH
THE UNCERTAINTY IN THE EXACT PROGRESSION OF THE FRONT...HAVE ONLY
ADVERTISED ISOLATED AREAS OF SLIGHT CHANCE THUNDER FOR TUESDAY
AFTERNOON. WEDNESDAY IS A BIT OF A DIFFERENT STORY AS THETA-ES
INCREASE AGAIN AS THE FORMER COLD FRONT LIFTS BACK NORTH AS A WARM
FRONT. APPROACHING UPPER SYSTEM ALSO BRINGS SOME WEAK DEEP-LAYER
SHEAR TO THE AREA AS WELL. BEST SBCAPE VALUES REMAIN CONFINED TO THE
PIEDMONT BUT THINK THUNDER CHANCES SLIGHTLY BETTER FOR WEDNESDAY
AFTERNOON. SEVERE POTENTIAL LOOKS LOW AS BEST DYNAMICS AND UPPER
SUPPORT REMAIN WELL TO THE NORTHWEST WITH THE SHORTWAVE...BUT
SOUTHWESTERLY LLJ 35-40KT WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON WITH 500 OR SO J/KG
SBCAPE MIGHT BE ENOUGH FOR A STRONG STORM OR TWO.

TEMPERATURES REMAIN ANOMALOUSLY HIGH...BUT WE DO GET A BREAK
FROM THE RECORD WARMTH AS HIGHS SHOULD RANGE ONLY /SARCASM/ 10-15
DEGREES ABOVE NORMAL VS. THE 20+ DEGREES ABOVE THAT WE HAVE HAD
THE PAST FEW DAYS.

&&

.LONG TERM /THURSDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/...
AS OF 300 AM MONDAY...PATTERN CHANGE! THE COLD FRONT WILL
PUSH THROUGH THE PIEDMONT AND TO OUR EAST ON THURSDAY AS A DEEP
POSITIVELY TILTED UPPER TROUGH DIVES TOWARD THE GREAT LAKES...AND
A SECONDARY SHORTWAVE PHASES WITH THE LONGWAVE TROUGH AND SERVES TO
DEEPEN THE ENTIRE SYSTEM OVER THE SPINE OF THE APPALACHIANS FRIDAY
NIGHT. SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE OVER THE PLAINS WILL RIDGE INTO OUR
AREA...BRINGING SOME MUCH-NEEDED TRANQUIL WEATHER TO THE REGION.

IN THE IMMEDIATE WAKE OF THE COLD FRONT THURSDAY
NIGHT...TEMPERATURES ACROSS THE NORTHERN MOUNTAINS WILL DROP
BELOW FREEZING. NOT REALLY A NORTHWEST FLOW SITUATION...STILL MORE
SOUTHWESTERLY...BUT THERE MIGHT BE ENOUGH OOMPH LEFT TO GET SOME
ISOLATED SNOW SHOWERS. HAVE NOT ADVERTISED THIS IN THE GRIDS. HIGHS
ON FRIDAY WILL ACTUALLY BE NEAR SEASONAL NORMALS...WITH LOWS
FRIDAY NIGHT FINALLY REACHING FREEZING AGAIN ACROSS THE PIEDMONT
AND POSSIBLY SOME TEENS IN THE MOUNTAINS. A COUPLE OF INTERESTING
ITEMS TO NOTE...THE LAST TIME THE MINIMUM TEMPERATURE AT OUR THREE
CLIMATE SITES /KAVL KGSP KCLT/ WAS BELOW FREEZING WAS 12/20. AS
THE TROUGH AXIS REMAINS IN PLACE AND THE SURFACE HIGH CONTINUES
TO BUILD...HIGHS OVER THE WEEKEND MAY ACTUALLY DROP BELOW SEASONAL
NORMALS. THIS LONGWAVE TROUGH REMAINS THE DOMINATING FEATURE WITH
GENERALLY QUIET WEATHER THROUGH THE END OF THE PERIOD.

&&

.AVIATION /18Z MONDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/...
AT KCLT...WITH A WEDGE FRONTAL BOUNDARY KNOCKING ON THE DOOR TO THE
NORTH...UPGLIDE INDUCED SHOWERS WILL BECOME MORE WIDESPREAD OVER THE
NEXT 12 HOURS. AFTER A PERIOD MVFR TEMPO IFR CIGS THROUGH LATE
DAY...CIGS WILL TREND BACK DOWNWARD OVERNIGHT AS THE DEEPER MOISTURE
ARRIVES FROM THE WEST. THERE IS SOME QUESTION OVER WHETHER THE SFC
BOUNDARY MOVES THROUGH OR NOT...BUT WIND DIRECTIONS IN THE 080 TO
100 RANGE ARE EXPECTED FOR A BRIEF PERIOD LATE THIS EVENING UNTIL
THE WARM FRONT LIFTS BACK NWD. CANNOT RULE OUT ISOLD TSTMS
NEARBY...BUT PROFILES KEEP THIS AT A SLIGHT CHANCE WITH WARM POCKETS
ALOFT. MODERATE SHOWERS SHOULD MOVE EAST OVERNIGHT THROUGH TUE
MORNING...WITH CONDITIONS IMPROVING WITH GRADUAL IMPROVEMENT TO MVFR
CIGS AND MORE S TO SW SURFACE FLOW.

ELSEWHERE...WIDESPREAD UPSLOPE AND UPGLIDE INDUCED SHOWERS WILL FAN
OUT OVER THE MTN AND FOOTHILL TAFS THIS AFTERNOON...AND INCREASE IN
COVERAGE AND INTENSITY THIS EVENING THROUGH THE EARLY OVERNIGHT
HOURS AS THE BACKDOOR FRONT SAGS IN FROM THE N AND THE DEEP MOISTURE
BAND ARRIVES FROM THE WEST. EXPECT WIDESPREAD IFR CIGS TO
PERSIST...PERHAPS SCATTERING TO MVFR BRIEFLY THIS AFTN AT KAVL IN
GUSTY SE FLOW. CIGS WILL TRANSITION DOWN INTO LIFR OVERNIGHT WITH
IFR VSBY AS THE HEAVY TO MODERATE SHOWERS MOVE THROUGH THE REGION.
SLOW IMPROVEMENT TO MVFR IS EXPECTED THROUGH LATE TUE MORNING ALONG
WITH A SHIFT TOWARD S TO SW SFC WINDS.

OUTLOOK...A COLD FRONT WILL MOVE THROUGH THE REGION TUESDAY
AFTERNOON...WITH A BRIEF LULL IN PRECIPITATION ACROSS THE AREA. DEEP
MOISTURE WILL RETURN TUE NIGHT THROUGH WED AS THE FRONT MOVES BACK
NORTHWARD. DRYING IS EXPECTED ON THURSDAY.

.HYDROLOGY...
HEAVY RAIN REMAINS THE FOCUS OF THE FORECAST THROUGH WED NIGHT.

THE FIRST WAVE OF HEAVY RAINFALL WILL OCCUR OVER WESTERN
NC...NORTHEAST GA...AND THE WESTERN SC UPSTATE TONIGHT AS DEEP
SOUTHERLY MOISTURE ADVECTION PREVAILS. PWAT ANOMALIES IN EXCESS OF 3
STD DEVS COMBINED WITH AMPLE UPSLOPING POTENTIAL SETS THE STAGE FOR
AN INCREASED HEAVY RAINFALL THREAT. FORECAST RAINFALL AMOUNTS
APPROACHING 2 TO 3 INCHES WILL BE POSSIBLE THROUGH TUESDAY MORNING.

THE SECOND WAVE WILL BE ASSOCIATED WITH THE SECONDARY SLUG OF
MOISTURE EXPECTED TO LIFT NORTHEAST FROM THE GULF INTO THE SOUTHERN
APPALACHIANS LATE TUESDAY INTO WEDNESDAY. WITH SATURATED SOILS IN
PLACE FROM THE FIRST WAVE OF HEAVY RAIN...THIS SECOND WAVE COULD
RESULT IN MORE SERIOUS IMPACTS...ESPECIALLY WEDNESDAY MORNING
WITH NEW WPC QPF VALUES OF APPROACHING 1.5 INCHES IN JUST A 6-HR
WINDOW FROM 12-18Z WEDNESDAY...AND WIDESPREAD 1/2 INCH IN THE 6
HOURS BOTH PRECEDING AND FOLLOWING.

STORM TOTAL QPF VALUES FOR THE TWO WAVES ARE WIDESPREAD 2.5-3+
INCHES ACROSS THE FOOTHILLS AND MOUNTAINS...WITH TOTALS OF OVER 5
INCHES ACROSS THE UPSLOPE AREAS OF THE SOUTHWEST MOUNTAINS. HAVE
OPTED TO HOIST A FLOOD WATCH EVERYWHERE THAT IS EXPECTED TO RECEIVE
>2.5 INCHES THROUGH THE PERIOD. WPC EXCESSIVE RAINFALL FORECASTS
HAVE THE SW MOUNTAINS IN MODERATE RISK AND MOST OF THE AREA IN
SLIGHT RISK FOR DAY 1...THE SW NC MOUNTAINS ALONG WITH THE GA AND
MOST OF THE SC COUNTIES IN SLIGHT RISK FOR DAY 2...AND JUST ABOUT
ALL OF THE FLOOD WATCH AREA IN SLIGHT RISK FOR DAY 3. SOME AREAS IN
THE MOUNTAINS THAT ARE TYPICALLY LOWER DUE TO RAIN SHADOW EFFECTS
/SUCH AS PORTIONS OF BUNCOMBE AND MADISON COUNTIES/ PROBABLY WON'T
SEE THE SAME ISSUES BUT IT IS EASIER TO INCLUDE ALL OF THE MOUNTAIN
COUNTIES. DUE TO LINGERING EFFECTS...HAVE TAKEN THE FLOOD WATCH
THROUGH 12Z THURSDAY BUT CAN EASILY CANCEL EARLY IF NECESSARY.

WITH THE SATURATED SOILS ALREADY IN PLACE...THESE TWO ROUNDS OF
HEAVY RAINFALL WILL BE BOTH A FLOOD AND FLASH FLOOD THREAT. OPTED TO
USE FLOOD WATCH WORDING AND WILL EMPHASIZE BOTH IMPACTS...INCLUDING
MUDSLIDES/DEBRIS FLOWS...IN THE TEXT OF THE WATCH.
