* IMPACTS...WIND CHILLS THIS COLD WILL CREATE A HIGH RISK OF
  FROSTBITE OF EXPOSED SKIN WITHIN MINUTES... AS WELL AS A THREAT
  OF HYPOTHERMIA TO THOSE OUTDOORS.

* WINDS...NORTHWEST 10 TO 20 MPH WITH GUSTS UP TO 25 TO 30 MPH.

  LOW AS 5 BELOW TO 10 BELOW TONIGHT.

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

A WIND CHILL ADVISORY MEANS THAT VERY COLD AIR AND STRONG WINDS
WILL COMBINE TO GENERATE DANGEROUSLY LOW WIND CHILLS. THIS WILL
RESULT IN FROSTBITE AND LEAD TO HYPOTHERMIA IF PRECAUTIONS ARE
NOT TAKEN. IF YOU MUST VENTURE OUTDOORS...MAKE SURE YOU WEAR
LAYERS OF WARM CLOTHING INCLUDING A HAT AND GLOVES. COVER ALL
EXPOSED SKIN.

THOSE TRAVELING SHOULD TAKE EXTRA BLANKETS... GLOVES... AND HEAD

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE RALEIGH NC
330 AM EST WED FEB 18 2015

.SYNOPSIS...AN ARCTIC COLD FRONT WILL CROSS THE AREA THIS AFTERNOON
THROUGH EARLY EVENING. FRIGID HIGH PRESSURE WILL BUILD OVER THE AREA
THIS EVENING THROUGH FRIDAY... BRINGING NEAR RECORD LOW TEMPERATURES
AND VERY LOW WIND CHILLS. ANOTHER STORM SYSTEM WILL APPROACH FROM
THE WEST EARLY SATURDAY.

&&

.NEAR TERM /TODAY/...
AS OF 305 AM WEDNESDAY...

...WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY FOR BLACK ICE REMAINS IN EFFECT THROUGH
10 AM THIS MORNING...

LOTS TO CONCERN OURSELVES WITH OVER THE NEXT 48 HOURS... AND BEYOND.
FIRST... AS EARLIER INDICATED BY THE HRRR AND OTHER GUIDANCE... AN
AREA OF FREEZING FOG HAS FORMED OVER THE FAR SE PIEDMONT AND INTO
THE SANDHILLS... WHERE DEWPOINTS REMAIN ELEVATED WITH CALM AIR IN
PLACE. BASED ON THE LIMITED COVERAGE AREA AND BORDERLINE
VISIBILITIES... WILL CONTINUE TO ADDRESS THIS WITH SPECIAL WEATHER
STATEMENTS AND MONITOR THE FOG... WHICH THE HRRR SHOWS HOLDING AS A
SMALL AREA WHICH DRIFTS EAST THROUGH SUNRISE. SECOND... LINGERING
WET ROADS FROM LAST NIGHT'S WINTRY WEATHER HAS REFROZEN INTO AREAS
OF BLACK ICE... DESPITE SOME SUBLIMATION ESPECIALLY IN THE NW CWA
WHERE DEWPOINTS ARE FALLING EARLY THIS MORNING. WILL LEAVE THE
WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY FOR BLACK ICE IN EFFECT FOR THE ENTIRE CWA
THROUGH 10 AM... HOWEVER BASED ON PROJECTED HOURLY TEMPS... PORTIONS
OF THE NW PIEDMONT MAY NOT SURPASS THE FREEZING MARK UNTIL CLOSER TO
11 AM OR NOON... AND THUS THE ADVISORY MAY NEED TO BE EXTENDED
FORWARD IN TIME BY AN HOUR OR TWO. FINALLY... FAIR SKIES THIS
MORNING WILL GIVE WAY TO A QUICK INCREASE IN CLOUDS BY MIDDAY... AS
THE CLIPPER FRONT AND ASSOCIATED VORTICITY MAX NOW CROSSING THE OH
VALLEY AND MIDSOUTH ARE PROJECTED TO SWING THROUGH CENTRAL NC THIS
AFTERNOON. WITH A SHOT OF LOW LEVEL MOIST UPGLIDE AT 275-280K AHEAD
OF AND WITH THE FRONT... STEEP LOW LEVEL (925-700 MB) LAPSE RATES OF
7-8 C/KM... SURFACE WET BULB TEMPS NOT MUCH ABOVE FREEZING... AND
BUFR SOUNDINGS SHOWING GOOD SATURATION FROM JUST OFF THE SURFACE UP
THROUGH THE -20C LEVEL... ALL FOCUSED ON THE 17Z-01Z TIME FRAME...
EXPECT A BRIEF WINDOW OF SNOW SHOWERS WITH THE GREATEST COVERAGE
ACROSS THE NORTH HALF... AND A LOWER RISK OF A RAIN SHOWER/SNOW
SHOWER MIX ACROSS THE SOUTH WHERE SURFACE WET BULBS SHOULD GO ABOVE
FREEZING FOR MUCH OF THE DAY. WILL STICK WITH GOOD CHANCE POPS NORTH
TAPERING TO SLIGHT CHANCE POPS SOUTH. QPF SHOULD BE QUITE LIGHT
GIVEN THE FAST MOVEMENT... BUT WITH THE STEEP LAPSE RATES SUGGESTING
A CONVECTIVE CONTRIBUTION... WE COULD SEE A SHORT PERIOD OF HEAVIER
RATES... AND WOULDN'T BE AT ALL SURPRISED TO SEE A DUSTING TO A HALF
INCH OF SNOW IN SOME SPOTS ACROSS THE NORTHERN CWA. HIGHS FROM THE
MID 30S NORTH TO LOWER 40S SOUTH. -GIH

&&

.SHORT TERM /TONIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY NIGHT/...
AS OF 330 AM WEDNESDAY...

CONFIDENCE IN DANGEROUSLY COLD WEATHER IS INCREASING. BRISK AND
GUSTY WINDS ARE A NEAR CERTAINTY BEHIND THIS ARCTIC FRONT... WITH
THE MOMENTUM OF THE COLD DENSE AIR AND TIGHT MSLP GRADIENT. EXPECT
SUSTAINED WINDS FROM THE NW AROUND 15-25 MPH GUSTING AS HIGH AS 30-
35 MPH TONIGHT. WINDS SHOULD ABATE A BIT THU/THU NIGHT AS THE
INITIAL COLD SURGE WANES... HOWEVER THE MSLP GRADIENT REMAINS TIGHT
ENOUGH TO SUPPORT SUSTAINED NW WINDS OF AROUND 15 MPH GUSTING TO
AROUND 25 MPH THU INTO THU NIGHT. MEANWHILE... RECORD-BUSTING COLD
TEMPERATURES ARE ALSO IMMINENT... WITH MODEL THICKNESSES... BUFR
SOUNDING THERMAL STRUCTURE... STATISTICAL GUIDANCE... AND UPSTREAM
CURRENT CONDITIONS ALL SUPPORTING VERY COLD READINGS. EXPECT LOWS
TONIGHT OF 7-15... HIGHS ONLY 15-23 THU... AND LOWS THU NIGHT OF 1
BELOW TO 7 ABOVE. THESE TEMPS AND WINDS TOGETHER WILL GENERATE SOME
OF THE LOWEST WIND CHILL READINGS WE'VE SEEN IN MANY YEARS...
DROPPING BELOW 0F NEAR OR SHORTLY AFTER MIDNIGHT. WILL POST A WIND
CHILL ADVISORY FOR ALL OF CENTRAL NC STARTING AT MIDNIGHT. WHILE
WIND CHILL VALUES ARE EXPECTED TO INCH ABOVE THE 0F MARK BETWEEN
ABOUT 12 NOON AND 5 PM THU... READINGS ARE LIKELY TO DIVE DOWN WELL
BELOW ZERO ONCE AGAIN AFTER 5 PM THU... STAYING DANGEROUSLY LOW
(EVEN APPROACHING -10F) THROUGH MID MORNING FRI. SINCE THU'S TIME
FRAME OF ABOVE-ZERO WIND CHILLS WILL BE SO SHORT... AND SINCE WE'D
STILL LIKE EVERYONE TO TAKE PROPER PRECAUTIONS AND NOT BE COMPLACENT
DURING THE DAYTIME AS WIND CHILLS WILL STILL BE VERY COLD... HAVE
OPTED TO TAKE THE UNUSUAL STEP (IN THIS UNUSUAL WEATHER SITUATION)
OF EXTENDING THE WIND CHILL ADVISORY FROM MIDNIGHT TONIGHT ALL THE
WAY THROUGH FRI MORNING. EXPECT MOSTLY CLEAR SKIES THROUGH THIS
PERIOD... ALTHOUGH FLAT BROKEN STRATOCU THU MAINLY IN THE AFTERNOON
SHOULD BRING MOSTLY CLOUDY SKIES FOR A FEW HOURS. -GIH

&&

.LONG TERM /FRIDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...
AS OF 300 AM WEDNESDAY...

THE LONG TERM BEGINS WITH A POSITIVELY TILTED UPPER LEVEL TROUGH
EXTENDING DOWN THE EAST COAST WITH A STRONG SURFACE HIGH CENTERED
OVER THE OHIO VALLEY. THIS WILL KEEP CENTRAL NC ROOTED IN THE COLD
AIR ADVECTION REGIME WITH NORTHERLY SFC FLOW AND NWLY FLOW ALOFT.
VERY COLD AND DRY AIRMASS WITH HIGHS ONLY IN THE LOW TO MID 20S. THE
SFC HIGH DRIFTS EAST AND SETS UP OVER EASTERN NC FRIDAY NIGHT WHICH
WILL TURN WINDS AROUND TO SOUTHERLY RETURN FLOW. THIS WILL NOT BE IN
TIME TO HELP TEMPS ALL THAT MUCH AS LOWS WILL BE IN THE MID TEENS.
STILL THIS IS WARMER THAN PREVIOUS NIGHTS. BACK TO WEST...AN
INVERTED TROUGH EXTENDING INTO THE TENNESSEE VALLEY FROM A PARENT
LOW OVER NORTH TEXAS WILL BE PRODUCING AN AREA OF STRONG LOW LEVEL
CONVERGENCE AND PRECIPITATION THAT IS THE PRECURSOR TO OUR NEXT
SYSTEM. INCREASING CLOUDS CAN BE EXPECTED AHEAD OF THIS SYSTEM LATE
FRIDAY NIGHT INTO SATURDAY MORNING.

OVERALL...MODELS HAVE COME INTO BETTER AGREEMENT WITH REGARD TO THE
EVOLUTION OF THE SYSTEM APPROACHING FROM THE WEST ON SATURDAY. THERE
STILL ARE FINER DIFFERENCES THAT MAY MATTER CONSIDERABLY IN HOW THE
FINAL SCENARIO PLAYS OUT. FIRST...THE EUROPEAN HAS PICKED UP THE LOW
PRESSURE WEST OF THE MOUNTAINS THAT THE GFS WAS SHOWING YESTERDAY. A
MUCH STRONGER WAVE IN THE UPPER LEVEL PATTERN OVER TEXAS IN THE GFS
IS PRODUCING A MUCH STRONGER LOW AND IS SLOWER WITH ITS PROGRESSION
UP THE BACK OF THE COLD FRONT. THIS WILL NOT MATTER IN REGARDS TO
POTENTIAL WINTER P-TYPE ON SATURDAY AS MUCH AS IT WILL FOR THE
TIMING OF THE ADVANCEMENT OF THE COLD FRONT THROUGH THE STATE ON
SUNDAY WHICH IS FASTER IN THE ECMWF. ANOTHER COMPROMISE THE MODELS
HAVE MADE IS WITH THE IN-SITU DAMMING SCENARIO AS THE SFC HIGH MOVES
OUT TO SEA. BOTH MODELS ARE NOW PRODUCING A WEDGE FRONT BUT IT IS
MUCH WEAKER IN THE GFS THEN PRIOR RUNS AND THE HIGH PUSHES FURTHER
OUT TO SEA FASTER THAN PREVIOUS RUNS AND THUS BOTH MODELS LOSE THE
WEDGE QUICKLY LATE SATURDAY AFTERNOON/EVENING. BECAUSE OF THIS...THE
OOZ RUN OF THE GFS HAS TRENDED A BIT WARMER AS ISENTROPIC LIFT WILL
BE LESS PRONOUNCED EARLIER IN THE DAY.

THE UPSHOT IN THE FORECAST SOUNDINGS IS A REAL GRAB BAG OF POTENTIAL
PRECIPITATION TYPES FOR THE TRIAD WITH APPRECIABLE DIFFERENCES
BETWEEN THE THERMAL PROFILES EVEN BETWEEN KGSO AND KINT. THE GENERAL
TREND WILL BE A GREATER LIKELIHOOD OF SNOW NORTH AND WEST AND LESS
SO APPROACHING GREENSBORO AND POINTS SOUTH AND EAST WHERE SLEET AND
EVEN FREEZING RAIN COULD BE MORE LIKELY. VERY EARLY FOR THESE
DETAILS TO BE IRONED OUT SO WE WILL CALL IT WINTERY MIX FOR NOW.
PRECIPITATION DOES LOOK CONFINED TO THE TRIAD HOWEVER AND POINTS
EAST OF HIGHWAY 1 SHOULD REMAIN DRY FOR MUCH OF THE DAY ON SATURDAY.
HIGHS GENERALLY IN THE LOWER 40S. EXPECT A NON-DIURNAL TEMPERATURE
CURVE FOR SATURDAY NIGHT WITH TEMPERATURES BEGINNING TO WARM
CONSIDERABLY AFTER 00Z SUNDAY AS WARM AIR ADVECTION AHEAD OF THE
COLD FRONT BEGINS. LOWS IN THE MID TO UPPER 30S OCCURRING EARLY IN
THE EVENING.

RAIN ASSOCIATED WITH THE COLD FRONT WILL MOVE IN FOR SUNDAY.
CONFIDENCE IN THIS BEING ALL LIQUID IS HIGH CONSIDERING THE
OVERNIGHT RISE IN TEMPERATURES WHICH WILL CONTINUE ON SUNDAY AND THE
LOSS OF SATURATION ALOFT IN THE ICE NUCLEATION ZONE. IN
FACT...TEMPERATURES WARM SO MUCH IN THE LOW LEVELS THAT INSTABILITY
CREEPS IN BY LATE SUNDAY AFTERNOON/EARLY EVENING AND LOW AND MID
LEVEL LAPSE RATES INCREASE. RISES ARE MINIMAL BUT WOULD NOT RULE OUT
THE CHANCE FOR A HEAVY CONVECTIVE SHOWER OR ISOLATED THUNDERSTORM.
HIGHS IN THE MID TO UPPER 50S. PRECIPITATION IS EXPECTED TO END
AFTER 6Z MONDAY. TOTAL QPF AMOUNTS ARE VERY UNCERTAIN AT THIS TIME
BUT EXPECT MORE IN THE TRIAD THAN POINTS EAST. LOWS IN THE MID TO
UPPER 30S.

COLDER AND DRIER BEHIND THE FRONT WITH NORTHEASTERLY SFC FLOW ON
MONDAY WITH HIGHS IN THE MID 40S AND LOWS MONDAY NIGHT IN THE UPPER
20S. DRY FOR TUESDAY AS WELL AS LOW PRESSURE MOVES INTO THE GREAT
LAKES REGION. HIGHS IN THE MID TO UPPER 40S.

.AVIATION /06Z WEDNESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/...
AS OF 1235 AM WEDNESDAY...

PRIMARY AVIATION CONCERNS NEXT 24 HRS: SUB-VFR CIGS/VSBYS AT FAY
EARLY THIS MORNING (BEFORE DAYBREAK)... A PERIOD OF MVFR CIGS AND
SCATTERED SNOW SHOWERS TODAY FROM MID AFTERNOON TO EARLY EVENING...
AND STRONG/GUSTY WINDS THIS AFTERNOON THROUGH THE END OF THE TAF
VALID PERIOD.

AREAS OF MVFR FOG HAVE DEVELOPED OVER THE SOUTHERN SECTIONS OF
CENTRAL NC IN THE LAST FEW HOURS. LATEST GUIDANCE SUPPORTS A PERIOD
OF IFR/LIFR FOG AT FAY EARLY THIS MORNING. VFR CONDITIONS ELSEWHERE
THIS MORNING. A CLIPPER COLD FRONT WILL SWEEP ACROSS THE AREA THIS
AFTERNOON/EARLY EVENING... AT APPROXIMATELY 18Z-20Z AT INT/GSO...
20Z-22Z AT RDU... AND 22Z-00Z AT FAY. A SHORT PERIOD (LIKELY AROUND
2-3 HRS AT MOST) OF MVFR CIGS/VSBYS IN SNOW SHOWERS IS EXPECTED WITH
FRONTAL PASSAGE. SURFACE WINDS FROM THE SW WILL INCREASE IN THE FEW
HOURS BEFORE FRONTAL PASSAGE... THEN REMAIN STRONG AND GUSTY AS THEY
SHIFT TO NW BEHIND THE FRONT... LASTING THROUGH 06Z. VFR CIGS/VSBYS
ARE EXPECTED AFTER FRONTAL PASSAGE.

LOOKING BEYOND 06Z EARLY THU MORNING: BRISK AND OCCASIONALLY GUSTY
NW SURFACE WINDS WILL PERSIST THROUGH THU. VFR CONDITIONS ARE
EXPECTED TO DOMINATE THROUGH FRI NIGHT WITH FRIGID HIGH PRESSURE
BUILDING IN. ANOTHER STORM SYSTEM APPROACHING FROM THE WEST AND SW
WILL BRING LIKELY SUB-VFR CONDITIONS WITH PRECIPITATION STARTING IN
THE NW EARLY SAT MORNING BEFORE SPREADING AREAWIDE SAT. SUB-VFR
CONDITIONS AND STRONG/SHIFTING WINDS WILL LAST THROUGH SUN AS A WARM
FRONT TRACKS NORTHWARD THROUGH THE REGION. -GIH
