AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE GREENVILLE-SPARTANBURG SC
111 PM EST FRI FEB 20 2015

.SYNOPSIS...
COLD HIGH PRESSURE WILL MOVE EAST OVER THE CAROLINAS TODAY AND THEN
OFFSHORE TONIGHT. A STORM SYSTEM WILL APPROACH FROM THE WEST TONIGHT
AND THROUGH SATURDAY. ANOTHER ARCTIC COLD FRONT WILL MOVE ACROSS THE
REGION LATE SUNDAY WITH COLDER HIGH PRESSURE RETURNING EARLY NEXT
WEEK. CONDITIONS MAY STAY UNSETTLED IN THIS COLD AIR MASS.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH SATURDAY/...
AS OF 1255 PM EST...THE FORECAST FOR PRECIPITATION ACTIVATING ALONG
A WARM FRONT TO THE SW...AND LATER FILLING IN ALONG AN APPROACHING
COLD FRONT FROM THE WEST...WILL BE GREATLY COMPLICATED BY THE COLD
AND DRY AIRMASS IN PLACE ACROSS THE REGION. ALTHOUGH THE SFC HIGH
CENTER IN PLACE WILL ACTUALLY MOVE EAST ACROSS THE NC OUTER BANKS
TONIGHT AND THEN OFFSHORE THROUGH SAT...STRONG COLD AIR MAINTENANCE
IS NOT REALLY NECESSARY SINCE THE COLD AND DRY ARCTIC AIRMASS IS
ALREADY IN PLACE.

THE FIRST QUESTION TO ANSWER IS HOW QUICKLY AND TO WHAT EXTENT THE
PRECIPITATION WILL FILL IN ALONG THE WARM FRONT TO THE SW. RADAR
CURRENTLY SHOWS VERY LIGHT RETURNS FROM A MID DECK AT 10 TO 12 KFT
EARLY THIS AFTN...BUT THERE IS NO PRECIPITATION YET IN SFC OBS
ACROSS NRN AL/GA/SE TN. ISENTROPIC LIFT WILL THEN GRADUALLY IMPROVE
FROM THE WEST TONIGHT AS THE UPPER LEVEL FLOW BECOMES MORE CYCLONIC
IN NATURE DUE TO FALLING HEIGHTS TO THE WEST. HOWEVER...THE MOISTURE
ONLY SLOWLY FILLS IN AT VARIOUS LEVELS IN THE PROFILES AND IS
SOMEWHAT TRANSIENT. ANY LIGHT PRECIPITATION WITH THIS FRONTAL BAND
SHOULD AFFECT MAINLY THE WRN HALF TONIGHT THROUGH SAT...WITH A
RELATIVE LULL IN 850 MB MOISTURE E OF THE MTNS ON SAT. QPF WILL
REMAIN THE BIGGEST LIMITING FACTOR FOR ANY POTENTIAL MTN WARNING OR
SEWD EXPANSION OF THE ADVISORY. THE SUB CLOUD LAYER REALLY DOES NOT
MOISTEN UP EAST OF THE MTNS THROUGH THE BULK OF THE NEAR TERM
PERIOD. HOWEVER...ABUNDANT MOISTURE AND DEEP LAYER FORCING WILL
EVENTUALLY SET UP ALONG THE SPINE OF THE SOUTHERN APPALACHIANS
DURING THE DAY ON SATURDAY. IN ADDITION...A ROBUST SRLY JET SHOULD
FORCE A GRADUAL TRANSITION TO MIXED PTYPES THERE. THE JET WILL ALSO
CREATE WINDY RIDGE TOP CONDITIONS DEVELOPING OVERNIGHT AND LASTING
THROUGH THE DAY ON SATURDAY.

PRELIMINARY THOUGHTS ARE THAT SNOW/SLEET/ICE ACCUMS SHOULD BE IN THE
SOLID ADVISORY RANGE ACROSS THE MTNS/NRN FOOTHILLS...BUT PERHAPS
MORE MARGINAL OUT EAST ALONG INTERSTATE 40. WILL LIKELY EXPAND THE
WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY INTO HABERSHAM GA FOR LIGHT ICING...AND ALSO
WRAP ALL MTN WIND ADVISORY LEVEL GUSTS INTO THE WSW THERE.

&&

.SHORT TERM /SATURDAY NIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY NIGHT/...
AS OF 330 AM EST FRIDAY...THE SHORT TERM FCST PERIOD INITIALIZES
SATURDAY MORNING AMONGST INTRUDING WARM FRONTAL PRECIP FROM THE WEST
AS SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE REMAINS TO THE EAST...CENTERED OVER THE
OUTER BANKS.  ABOVE MENTIONED WARM FRONT ASSOCIATED WITH MIDSOUTH
SURFACE CYCLONE WILL CONTINUE ADVECTING ENE THROUGH THE DAY ON
SATURDAY AHEAD OF THE PRIMARY COLD FRONT.  WARM MOIST CONVEYOR
BELT IN THE BAROCLINIC ZONE WILL WARRANT INCREASING POPS THROUGH THE
DAY...THEREFORE THE FCST FEATURES SOLID LIKELY LEVEL POPS ACROSS THE
WESTERN MOST ZONES AT INITIALIZATION BEFORE SPREADING EAST INTO
SATURDAY NIGHT AND SUNDAY MORNING AS THE PRIMARY COLD FRONTAL AXIS
INTRUDES.  THERMAL PROFILES ACROSS THE REGION WILL BE SUPPORTIVE OF
A WINTRY MIX AS WEAK INSITU CAD PREVAILS EARLY.  LATER ON INTO THE
AFTERNOON HOURS OF SATURDAY EXPECTING WARMING TO OCCUR FROM THE
SOUTH THEREBY RAISING THICKNESS VALUES THROUGH THE ENTIRE COLUMN.
TOP DOWN WX METHOD WAS APPLIED AND YIELDED A SLOWLY RETREATING BAND
OF WINTRY MIX ALONG THE I85 CORRIDOR SATURDAY MORNING WITH ALL SNOW
PREVAILING FURTHER NORTH.  BY THE AFTERNOON AS THICKNESS VALUES
WARM...EXPECTING A QUICK TRANSITION TO ALL RAIN.  ALL IN ALL...TOTAL
SNOW/ICE ACCUMULATION REMAIN BELOW WARNING CRITERIA THEREFORE WILL
ISSUE WINTER WX ADVISORY WITH THIS PACKAGE.  BEYOND THAT...FCST
REMAINS WET ON SUNDAY AS THE FRONT SLIDES INTO THE WESTERN ZONES
SUNDAY MORNING...AND EVENTUALLY CLEARS TO THE EAST BY EARLY
AFTERNOON.  POPS ARE REDUCED INTO THE LATE AFTERNOON HOURS ACROSS THE
EAST WHILE LINGERING NWFS REGIME WARRANTS CONTINUED MENTIONABLE POPS
ALONG THE HIGH TERRAIN OF WESTERN NC.  TEMPERATURES ON SATURDAY WILL
REMAIN BELOW NORMAL BEFORE RISING THICKNESSES PREVAIL LEADING TO A
NON DIURNAL RISE IN TEMPERATURES SATURDAY NIGHT.  EXPECTING
TEMPERATURES TO FINALLY RETURN TO NEAR NORMAL ON SUNDAY.

&&

.LONG TERM /MONDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/...
AS OF 330 AM EST FRIDAY...THE MEDIUM RANGE FCST PERIOD INITIALIZES
MONDAY MORNING AMIDST QUASIZONAL FLOW ALOFT WHILE AT THE SFC A COLD
FRONT CONTINUES TO SLOWLY SLIDE THROUGH THE DEEP SOUTH AS CANADIAN
HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS IN FROM THE NORTHWEST OVER THE OH VALLEY.  A
BACK DOOR FRONT ASSOCIATED WITH SAID CANADIAN HIGH WILL PUSH THROUGH
THE TN VALLEY AND INTO NORTHEAST GA AND THE WESTERN CAROLINAS ON
MONDAY THEREBY PROVIDING A REINFORCING SHOT OF COLD/DRY AIR TO THE
REGION LASTING AT LEAST INTO TUESDAY.

AT THIS POINT SOME DISCONTINUITY ARISES IN THE OPERATIONAL MODELS AS
THE ECMWF DIGS A POTENT CLIPPER TYPE UPPER DISTURBANCE INTO THE
CENTRAL PLAINS WHILE A FAIRLY PROGRESSIVE 1035MB SURFACE HIGH SLIDES
THROUGH THE NORTHEAST.  FURTHER SOUTH ALONG THE GULF COAST...THE
ECMWF FAVORS A REGION OF SURFACE CYCLOGENESIS ALONG THE OLD FRONTAL
BOUNDARY OVER NORTH FL THAT IN TURN SETS UP A NICE WARM UPGLIDE
REGIME OVER THE SOUTHERN APPS ON TUESDAY BEFORE EJECTING UP THE
ATLANTIC SEABOARD ON WEDNESDAY WITH A DRY COLD FRONT SLIDING THROUGH
THE SOUTHERN APPALACHIANS.  THE GFS ON THE OTHER HAND LEANS TOWARD A
DRIER SOLUTION AS THE PRIMARY/INITIAL SURFACE HIGH IS FURTHER SOUTH
ALONG WITH ANY COASTAL WAVE DEVELOPMENT.  THE GFS ALSO HAS A SLOWER
MEAN UPPER PATTERN WHICH DELAYS ANY SIG UPPER WAVE INTRUSION OVER
THE CENTRAL CONUS UNTIL WEDNESDAY NIGHT.  THUS...LITTLE IF ANY GULF
COAST WAVE DEVELOPMENT THEREBY NO UPGLIDE PRECIP ON TUESDAY OVER THE
SOUTHERN APPS.  LEANED HEAVILY ON THE HPC GUIDE FOR THIS FCST WHICH
FAVORS THE WETTER ECMWF.

THUS...THE FCST FEATURES SLIGHT CHANCE POPS REGIONWIDE ON TUESDAY
WITH THICKNESS VALUES INITIALLY SUPPORTING SNOWFALL BEFORE QUICKLY
WARMING TO YIELD ALL RAIN TUESDAY AFTERNOON.  POPS WILL LINGER INTO
WEDNESDAY MORNING OVER THE MOUNTAINS TO ACCOUNT FOR ANY RESIDUAL
NWFS BEHIND THE ABOVE MENTIONED PROGGED FROPA WITH A DRY FORECAST
PREVAILING INTO THURSDAY DUE TO HIGH PRESSURE.  ANOTHER COASTAL
SYSTEM IS EVIDENT NEAR THE END OF THE PERIOD WITH UPGLIDE PROCESSES
PREVAILING TO THE NORTHEAST OF THE LOW CENTER...THUS THE FCST ENDS
WITH INCREASING POPS ACROSS THE ENTIRE FCST AREA WITH SNOW BEING THE
PREDOMINATE PTYPE.  ALL IN ALL...CONFIDENCE IN POPS/PTYPE REMAINS
BELOW MENTIONING IN THE HWO WITH THIS PACKAGE.  TEMPERATURES THROUGH
THE MEDIUM RANGE WILL REMAIN BELOW NORMAL.

&&

.AVIATION /18Z FRIDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
AT KCLT...THE COLD AND DRY AIRMASS IN PLACE COULD PROVE TROUBLESOME
AS A WARM FRONT ACTIVATES TO THE W. HOWEVER...PRECIP CHANCES AND
ASSOCIATED QPF LOOK VERY LOW THROUGH THE PERIOD SUCH THAT MAJOR
IMPACTS ON THE AIRFIELD ARE NOT EXPECTED THROUGH SAT. WILL FEATURE
MAINLY LOWERING VFR CLOUDS...AND SOME FLAVOR OF LIGHT S TO SE WINDS
THROUGH THE PERIOD. ANY VCSH WOULD BE MAINLY SN OR PL IF SOMETHING
DOES INDEED FALL 15Z TO 18Z.

ELSEWHERE...THE MOISTURE GRADIENT TIGHTENS FROM THE FOOTHILLS TO THE
WRN MTNS OVER THE PERIOD...WITH PRECIP CHANCES RELATIVELY LOW...BUT
WITH A WINTRY MIX INDICATED ANYWHERE PRECIP MANAGES TO FALL. KAVL
WILL SEE THE BEST CHANCE THROUGH THE CURRENT TAF PERIOD...WITH SN OR
PL MENTIONED MAINLY IN A TEMPO AFTER 14Z...BUT WITH VCSH FOR SN AND
PL AS EARLY AS 05Z TONIGHT. WILL JUST MENTION VCSH LATE AT THE
FOOTHILL SITES. ANTICIPATE WINDS MAINLY SE...WITH SOME LOW END GUSTS
POSSIBLE AT KAVL LATER IN THE PERIOD...ALONG WITH LLWS AS THE SRLY
850 MB JET INTENSIFIES.

OUTLOOK...UNSETTLED WEATHER WILL CONTINUE SATURDAY NIGHT INTO SUNDAY
AS THE TRAILING COLD FRONT MOVES SE THROUGH THE TERMINAL FORECAST
AREA. RESTRICTIONS APPEAR LIKELY...BUT TEMPERATURES SHOULD WARM TO
SUPPORT MAINLY LIQUID PTYPES WITH FROPA. ADDITIONAL WAVES OF LOW
PRESSURE MAY MOVE ALONG THE FRONT TO THE SE EARLY NEXT WEEK.
