AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE GREENVILLE-SPARTANBURG SC
1248 PM EST SUN JAN 4 2015

.SYNOPSIS...
COOL HIGH PRESSURE WILL CROSS OUR REGION EARLY IN THE WEEK PROVIDING
NEAR NORMAL FOR JANUARY TEMPERATURES. AN ARCTIC COLD FRONT WILL
ARRIVE TUESDAY NIGHT BRINGING BITTERLY COLD TEMPERATURES FOR THE MID
AND LATTER PART OF THE WEEK.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...
AS OF 1245 PM EST SUNDAY...MAJORITY OF PREFRONTAL SHOWERS HAVE SLID
EAST OF INTERSTATE 77 WITH A SMALL BAND OF PRECIP CROSSING THE NC/SC
LINE MOVING NORTHEAST INTO THE NC PIEDMONT.  TEMPERATURES HAVE
RECOVERED NICELY DESPITE OVERCAST SKIES AS SOUTHWEST FLOW CONTINUES
TO INCREASE AHEAD OF THE FRONT.  MADE SLIGHT TWEAKS TO
POPS/TEMPS/DEWPOINTS AND WINDS TO ACCOUNT FOR MOST RECENT
OBSERVATIONAL TRENDS.

PREVIOUS DISCUSSION...

AS OF 645 AM...ANOTHER UPDATE TO THE TEMPS/DWPTS...FOLLOWING THE
TRACK OF THE WEDGE FRONT ACRS THE SOUTHERN TIER OF COUNTIES.
ALSO...MONITORING CONVECTIVE TRENDS ACRS NE GA INTO THE UPSTATE.
THERE IS ABOUT 100 J/KG OF MUCAPE ACRS THE PIEDMONT AHEAD OF THE
LINE. WITH SUCH STRONG BULK SHEAR...A FEW STRONGER CELLS MAY BE ABLE
TO PRODUCE STRONG DOWNDRAFTS AND LLVL ROTATION. I HAVE BUMPED UP THE
THUNDER MENTION TO ABOUT 30%...ROUGHLY ALONG I-85 AND SOUTH. ALL
OTHER TRENDS LOOK ABOUT ON TRACK.

AS OF 415 AM...ANOTHER QUICK UPDATE TO THE TEMPS TO BETTER MATCH UP
WITH THE OBS...AS A WARM WEDGE FRONT PUSHES NORTH INTO THE CWFA.
TEMP GRADIENT IS PRETTY SHARP...WITH EQY AND GRD AT 63...WHILE
KAND/KCLT ARE AROUND 48. ALSO...I HAVE ALLOWED THE DENSE FOG ADV TO
EXPIRE. NO METARS IN THE CWFA ARE LESS THAN 1/2SM ATTM.

AS OF 330 AM...THE WEDGE FRONT IS MAKING PROGRESS NORTHWARD ACRS
CENTRAL GA AND THE MIDLANDS ATTM. THIS SHUD SCOUR OUT THE DENSE FOG
AS IT PUSHES INTO THE LWR PIEDMONT AND CHARLOTTE METRO AREA WITHIN
THE NEXT HOUR OR TWO. I WILL PLAN TO ALLOW THE DENSE FOG ADV TO
EXPIRE AT 4 AM. MEANWHILE...THE PRE-FRONTAL BAND OF MODERATE TO
HEAVY RAIN SLOWLY PUSHES INTO THE CWFA FROM THE WEST. STILL EXPECT
THIS BAND TO CROSS THE AREA DURING THE MORNING HOURS...GETTING TO
THE I-77 CORRIDOR BY EARLY AFTN. RAIN RATES OF 0.5 TO 1.0" PER HOUR
ARE OCCURRING WITHIN THE RAIN SHIELD ACRS AL AND NW GA. THE LATEST
FFG GUIDANCE FOR NE GA AND SRN ESCARPMENT IS 1.75-2.50" IN 3
HRS...AND 2.25-3.50" IN 6 HOURS. SO I STILL THINK THE STREAMS CAN
MANAGE THE INCOMING RAIN...WITH AN ISOLD HYDRO/FLOOD THREAT POSSIBLE.

OTHERWISE...THE MAIN CONCERN WILL BE ANY SEVERE THREAT AS THE
STRONGLY SHEARED LINE OF CONVECTION CROSSES THE CWFA TODAY. MOST
GUIDANCE STILL ONLY UNCOVERING 200-300 J/KG OF CAPE AT MOST ALONG
THE SE FRINGE OF THE CWFA. AS USUAL...THE NAM HAS MORE CAPE (UP 500
J/KG...WELL TO THE WEST ACRS THE ENTIRE PIEDMONT. THE LATEST DAY 1
CONVECTIVE OUTLOOK HAS THE MARGINAL RISK JUST CLIPPING UNION NC. IT
STILL LOOKS LIKE A NON-ZERO WIND THREAT AND TORNADO THREAT. WILL
CONTINUE TO MENTION IN THE HWO.

TEMPS WILL BE TRICKY EARLY ON...AS UNCOVERED WARM SECTOR IS IN THE
MID-UPR 60S...WHILE THE WEDGE IS IN THE MID-UPR 40S. SOME LOCATIONS
SOUTH AND EAST OF I-85 MAY SPIKE INTO THE UPR 60S TO NEAR 70 BEFORE
THE CONVECTION MOVES THRU.

THIS AFTN THRU TONIGHT...GUSTY SW WINDS ARE EXPECTED BEHIND THE RAIN
SHIELD...THEN THE SFC COLD FRONT WILL PUSH THRU AND SHIFT THE WINDS
OUT OF THE NW. FROM THERE THE STRONGER/GUSTY WINDS WILL BE IN THE
HIGH TERRAIN...WITH THE HIGHEST PEAKS LIKELY SEEING 40-50 MPH GUSTS.
FCST SNDGS ALSO SHOW SHALLOW MOISTURE LINGERING WITHIN THE NWLY
FLOW. A FEW SHWRS MAY DEVELOP ALONG THE TN/NC BORDER. TEMPS WILL
PLUMMET INTO THE 20S AND 30S...WITH A FEW SNOW SHWRS AND/OR FREEZING
DRIZZLE MIXING IN OVERNIGHT. POPS ARE ONLY IN THE 20-30% RANGE...AND
LITTLE TO NO ACCUM IS EXPECTED. TEMPS OUTSIDE THE MTNS SHUD FALL
INTO THE MID-UPR 30S UNDER CLEARING SKIES AND DIMINISHING NW WINDS.

&&

.SHORT TERM /MONDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY NIGHT/...
AS OF 200 AM SUNDAY...SHORT RANGE MODELS INDICATE THAT A DRY
CANADIAN AIR MASS WILL BUILD OVER THE REGION ON MONDAY...IN THE WAKE
OF SUNDAY/S COLD FRONT. H85 CAA WILL SLOW DURING THE MORNING
HOURS...THEN BECOME NEUTRAL DURING THE AFTERNOON HOURS. THE CWA
SHOULD SEE SUNNY CONDITIONS WITH LIGHT DOWNSLOPE FLOW...FAVORING
AFTERNOON DEWPOINTS IN THE TEENS TO L20S. A BLEND OF MOS GUIDANCE
SUPPORT HIGH TEMPERATURES RANGING FROM NEAR 40 WITHIN THE MTN VALLEYS
TO AROUND 50 ACROSS THE UPPER SAVANNAH RIVER VALLEY.

WEAK RETURN FLOW IS FORECAST TO DEVELOP ACROSS THE REGION MONDAY
NIGHT INTO TUESDAY. AT THE MID LEVELS...THE AXIS OF A SHALLOW L/W
TROF WILL RIPPLE ACROSS THE EASTERN STATES...WITH A POTENT VORT MAX
EXPECTED TO TRACK ACROSS THE MID ATLANTIC STATES ON TUES. AT THE
SFC...LOW PRESSURE WILL LIKELY SLOWLY ORGANIZE OVER THE DELMARVA.
GUIDANCE INDICATES THAT MIN AND MAX TEMPS ON TUES WILL RANGE VERY
CLOSE TO NORMAL. FORECAST SOUNDINGS INDICATE ENOUGH MIXING TO
SUPPORT A MENTION OF MARGINAL WIND GUSTS FROM THE SW DURING THE
DAYLIGHT HOURS ON TUESDAY.

&&

.LONG TERM /THURSDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/...
AS OF 245 AM SUNDAY...A AMPLIFIED MID LEVEL TROF WILL DIG ACROSS
EASTERN CANADA ON WEDNESDAY...WITH RIDGING BUILDING ACROSS THE PAC
NW. MEDIUM RANGE GUIDANCE SHOWS A 1050+MB HIGH SLIDING ACROSS THE
NRN PLAINS ON WED...WITH THE CENTER OF THE HIGH REACHING THE SRN
APPALACHIANS ON THURS. STRONG CAA WILL BEGIN ON WEDNESDAY...PEAKING
EARLY THURSDAY MORNING...AS LOW AS -20C ACROSS THE NRN MTNS. H85
TEMPS WILL SHOULD START TO RECOVER ON THURSDAY WITH LIGHT RETURN
FLOW. WED HIGHS WILL RANGE AROUND 10 DEGREES BELOW NORMAL. ON
THURSDAY...MIN TEMPS ARE FORECAST TO RANGE FROM NEAR ZERO ACROSS THE
NRN MTNS TO LOW TO MID TEENS ACROSS THE FOOTHILLS AND
PIEDMONT....HIGHS WILL GENERALLY REMAIN BELOW FREEZING. THURSDAY
NIGHT...MINS WILL FALL BACK INTO THE TEENS AND 20S. TEMPERATURES
COULD BE BELOW FREEZING FOR A SOLID 24 TO 48 HOURS FOR A GOOD PART
OF THE AREA. AN HWO COLD WAVE MENTION WILL CONTINUE. IN
ADDITION...DEWPOINTS WILL FALL SHARPLY WITH THE ARRIVAL OF THE
ARCTIC AIR MASS...SEE FIRE WEATHER DISCUSSION.

PREVIOUS DISCUSSION...FAIRLY MAJOR MODEL DIFFERENCES DEVELOP LATE
WEEK...WITH THE ERN TROUGH GETTING REINFORCED BY SHORTWAVE ENERGY
THU NIGHT/FRI ON THE ECMWF...WHILE SHALLOW RIDGING DEVELOPS ON THE
GFS. THE ECMWF AND ENSEMBLES HAVE SHOWN BETTER CONTINUITY AND WILL
BE FAVORED. WILL THUS FOLLOW THE IDEA OF A CLIPPER SYSTEM ARRIVING
IN THE NW FLOW...WITH ANY ATTENDANT SHALLOW MOISTURE STAYING N OF
THE REGION LATE WEEK. THE COLD AIR WILL GET SLIGHTLY REINFORCED FRI
THROUGH FRI NIGHT...WITH SFC HIGH PRESSURE BUILDING OVER TO THE N OF
THE REGION. HEIGHTS SHOULD THEN FINALLY BEGIN RISING UNDER A
SHORTWAVE RIDGE FRI NIGHT INTO SAT...WITH DIVING REDEVELOPING
FROM THE MIDWEST TO THE PLAINS. ANY RETURN FLOW MOISTURE AHEAD OF
THIS SYSTEM SHOULD REMAIN TO THE WEST THROUGH LATE SATURDAY...AS WE
CONTINUE TO FOLLOW THE ECMWF SOLUTION ON THIS TIMING. THIS SHOULD
KEEP CAD FROM FORMING UNTIL JUST BEYOND THE CURRENT FORECAST PERIOD.

&&

.AVIATION /18Z SUNDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/...
AT KCLT...MOSTLY VFR CONDITIONS WILL PREVAIL THROUGH THE TAF PERIOD
WITH THE EXCEPTION OF POSSIBLE MVFR CIGS ASSOCIATED WITH ANOTHER
LIGHT BAND OF PRECIP SLIDING UP INTERSTATE 85 AT THIS TIME.
THUS...TAF WILL INITIALIZE AT VFR WITH SHRA AND A TEMPO FROM 18-20Z
FOR LOWERED VISB/CIGS.  EXPECTING MVFR CONDITIONS TO LINGER A BIT
BEHIND THE PRECIP BEFORE RECOVERING TO SOLID VFR AROUND 22Z.  FROM
THERE NO CIGS RESTRICTIONS ARE FORECAST AS THE FROM APPROACHES AND
PASSES THIS EVENING.  WINDS WILL REMAIN GUSTY THROUGH THE AFTERNOON
OUT OF THE SOUTHWEST...SLOWLY VEERING NORTHWEST AROUND 01-02Z BEFORE
VEERING NORTHERLY BY MID MORNING.

ELSEWHERE...A MIXTURE OF VFR/MVFR/IFR AND LIFR CONDITIONS FCST
WITHIN THIS TAF PERIOD.  TAFS WILL INITIALIZE AT IFR/LIFR LEVELS
THROUGH MID AFTERNOON BEFORE LOW CIGS AND VISB ERODE AHEAD OF
INCREASING FLOW ASSOCIATED WITH SYNOPTIC FROPA.  SOUTHWEST WINDS
WILL REMAIN GUSTY THROUGH THE AFTERNOON ALL THE WHILE SLOWLY VEERING
WESTERLY...THEN NORTHWESTERLY THROUGH THE EVENING AS THE FRONT
PASSES.  GUSTS WILL SUBSIDE OUTSIDE OF THE HIGH TERRAIN BEHIND THE
FRONT...HOWEVER DECENT 850MB COLD ADVECTION WILL WARRANT CONTINUED
GUSTS AT KAVL.  LASTLY...SN SHOWERS ARE POSSIBLE ALONG THE TN LINE
OVERNIGHT HOWEVER OPTED TO NOT INCLUDE IN KAVL TAF AT THIS TIME DUE
TO LOW CONFIDENCE.

OUTLOOK...A SERIES OF COLD...DRY HIGH PRESSURE SYSTEMS WILL DROP OUT
OF CANADA...AND DOMINATE THE WEATHER ACRS THE REGION THRU THE WEEK.

.FIRE WEATHER...
A COLD FRONT WILL MOVE THROUGH THE REGION ON WEDNESDAY...ALLOWING
DRY ARCTIC AIR TO SPILL IN FROM THE NORTHWEST. ALTHOUGH THIS WILL
MEAN MUCH COLDER TEMPERATURES FOR WED AND THU...THE BOUNDARY LAYER
WILL BECOME EXTREMELY DRY. MIN RH VALUES IN THE TEENS AND 20S WILL
BE LIKELY FOR WED AND THU....AND BREEZY TO WINDY CONDITIONS MAY SET
