AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE RALEIGH NC
705 AM EST TUE FEB 17 2015

.SYNOPSIS...A POWERFUL STORM SYSTEM OVER THE REGION WILL MOVE OFF
THE COAST THIS MORNING. A CLIPPER COLD FRONT WILL DROP SOUTHEAST
THROUGH THE AREA ON WEDNESDAY... BRINGING A FRIGID ARCTIC AIR MASS
INTO THE AREA FOR LATE WEDNESDAY THROUGH THE END OF THE WEEK.

&&

.NEAR TERM /TODAY THROUGH TONIGHT/...
AS OF 235 AM TUESDAY...

TODAY: WINTER STORM IS EXPECTED TO WIND DOWN ON SCHEDULE. WE'VE
LIKELY JUST SEEN IN THE LAST FEW HOURS OUR HEAVIEST BATCH OF PRECIP
OVER CENTRAL NC... COINCIDING WITH THE STRONGEST UPPER DIVERGENCE...
MID LEVEL DPVA... AND MOST VIGOROUS MOIST ISENTROPIC UPGLIDE... AND
THE BACK EDGE OF THE PRECIP IS ALREADY STARTING TO PUSH THROUGH THE
TRIAD. THE LATEST MODEL RUNS INCLUDING HI-RES GUIDANCE AND
EXTRAPOLATION OF ONGOING PRECIP SHOWS A WEST-TO-EAST EXIT OF THE
PRECIP SHIELD JUST A BIT AHEAD OF THE CURRENT FORECAST... SUPPORTING
A RETENTION OF THE EXISTING WINTER STORM WARNING AREA AND TIMING...
ENDING IN THE WEST BY 9 AM AND IN THE EAST BY NOON... BUT WE MAY
NEED TO CANCEL IT A LITTLE EARLY BASED ON THE LATEST TRENDS IN THE
LAST COUPLE OF HOURS. WE'VE SEEN A BROAD ZONE OF MULTIPLE PTYPES AND
CHANGEOVERS COVERING CENTRAL NC IN THE LAST 6-9 HRS... WITH SLEET
THE MOST COMMON PTYPE (ALBEIT WITH FREQUENT MIXING/CHANGING WITH
SNOW/FRZG RAIN). RECENT AMDAR AIRCRAFT SOUNDINGS HAVE INDEED
INDICATED SLEET AS THE PREDOMINANT PTYPE WITH A 3-4C WARM NOSE AND A
DEEP COLD SURFACE-BASED LAYER. INSTEAD OF SEEING MULTIPLE CORRIDORS
OF PREDOMINANT PTYPE -- WHAT WE WOULD NORMALLY GET WITH FLATTER LOW
PRESSURE TRACKING TO OUR SOUTH -- THE MORE-PRONOUNCED-THAN-EXPECTED
INVERTED TROUGH ALONG THE MOUNTAINS AND MORE DEVELOPED SURFACE LOW
TRACKING ALONG OUR SOUTH INSTEAD RESULTED IN A BROADER CORRIDOR OF A
MORE MIXED/CHANGEABLE WINTRY PRECIP. AT ANY RATE... THE SLEET HAS
CUT DOWN A BIT ON THE OVERALL ACCUM OF FROZEN PRECIP NORTH OF 64
(LESS SNOW AND MORE SLEET). BUT THE RESULTING COMBINED ACCUM OF
SNOW/SLEET/FRZG RAIN GLAZE HAS MORE THAN SUPPORTED THE WINTER STORM
WARNING. WE SHOULD SEE LIGHT ADDITIONAL ACCUMS (LIKELY A TENTH OF AN
INCH OR LESS) OF SLEET AND FRZG RAIN ALONG/EAST OF HIGHWAY 1 UNTIL
SHORTLY AFTER SUNRISE... WITH A RAPID EXIT OF PRECIP DURING THE MID-
LATE MORNING. WITH FAIRLY LIGHT SURFACE WINDS... MODELS INDICATE LOW
CLOUDS AND POTENTIALLY SOME FOG LINGERING THIS MORNING ESPECIALLY IN
THE FAR NORTH AND EAST UNTIL WE CAN ACHIEVE A DECENT DOWNSLOPE
COMPONENT AT 925-850 MB... ARRIVING W-E MID MORNING THROUGH EARLY
AFTERNOON... ALTHOUGH SOME MID-HIGH CLOUDS ARE APT TO PERSIST WITH A
CONTINUED FAST WSW FLOW ALOFT. THIS WILL MEAN THAT ANY PARTIAL
CLEARING SHOULD BE FAIRLY BRIEF AND FLEETING... WITH PERIODS OF BOTH
LOW AND MID CLOUDS DOMINATING THE DAY. WITH LIMITED INSOLATION AND A
POTENTIALLY ELEVATED ALBEDO FROM THE COATING OF SNOW/SLEET/GLAZE...
HAVE SHAVED A DEGREE OR SO OFF HIGHS... GOING WITH HIGHS OF 31 NE TO
37 SW.

TONIGHT: WHILE GRADUAL LOW LEVEL DRYING SHOULD HELP DISPERSE ANY
LINGERING LOW CLOUDS EARLY TONIGHT... PASSAGE OF A FAIRLY POTENT
LOBE OF MID LEVEL VORTICITY THROUGH THE MEAN TROUGH BASE OVERNIGHT
WILL ENSURE THAT WE KEEP CONSIDERABLE MID CLOUDS FOR MUCH OF THE
NIGHT... LIKELY NOT CLEARING OUT UNTIL LATE. EXPECT LOWS IN THE
TEENS TO LOWER 20S. DEPENDING ON HOW MUCH OF THE CURRENT WINTRY
ACCUM EVAPORATES/SUBLIMATES TODAY (PROBABLY NOT MUCH SINCE WE'LL BE
LACKING A STRONG SURGE OF DRIER LOW LEVEL AIR TODAY)... WE MAY NEED
A WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY FOR BLACK ICE TONIGHT TO ACCOUNT FOR
TRAVEL HAZARDS. -GIH

&&

.SHORT TERM /WEDNESDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY NIGHT/...
AS OF 305 AM TUESDAY...

FAIR SKIES NEAR DAYBREAK WED WILL GIVE WAY TO A QUICK INCREASE IN
CLOUDS AS A CLIPPER COLD FRONT AND ASSOCIATED VORTICITY MAX SWINGING
THROUGH THE TROUGH BASE APPROACH FROM THE NW AND WEST RESPECTIVELY.
WITH A SHOT OF LOW LEVEL MOIST UPGLIDE AT 275-280K AHEAD OF THE
FRONT... STEEP LOW LEVEL (925-700 MB) LAPSE RATES OF 7-8 C/KM...
SURFACE TEMPS NOT MUCH ABOVE FREEZING... AND BUFR SOUNDINGS SHOWING
GOOD SATURATION FROM THE SURFACE UP THROUGH THE -20C LEVEL... ALL
FOCUSED ON THE 18Z-00Z WINDOW... WILL RAISE POPS SLIGHTLY... GOING
WITH A 20-30% CHANCE OF SNOW SHOWERS AREAWIDE. WITH A CONVECTIVE
CONTRIBUTION... EXPECT TO 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 LATE WED INTO EARLY WED EVENING. THE FRONT SHOULD
CLEAR OUR EASTERN COUNTIES BY MIDNIGHT... WITH COLDER AIR RUSHING IN
AND CLEARING SKIES NW TO SE OVERNIGHT. AFTER WED HIGHS OF 33-40...
EXPECT TEMPS WED NIGHT TO PLUNGE TO LOWS FROM 5 TO 15 ABOVE... WHICH
WOULD BREAK RECORDS AT GSO/RDU. AS THE SURFACE WINDS KICK UP WITH
AND BEHIND THE FRONT... PREDAWN WIND CHILLS ARE LIKELY TO BE IN THE
SINGLE DIGITS BELOW ZERO (IF NOT COLDER) OVER THE NRN/WRN CWA. -GIH

&&

.LONG TERM /THURSDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...
AS OF 250 AM TUESDAY...

...ARCTIC AIRMASS WILL CONTINUE TO BE IN PLACE WITH RECORD LOW
TEMPERATURES EXPECTED THURSDAY NIGHT....

AS A LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM CONTINUES TO LIFT OFF TO THE NORTHEAST...
AN EXTREMELY DEEP UPPER LEVEL TROUGH WILL TRANSPORT ARCTIC AIR INTO
CENTRAL NC. THIS AIRMASS WILL BE EXTREMELY COLD AND DRY. AT THE
SURFACE A HIGH PRESSURE SYSTEM WILL TO THE WEST WILL CAUSE BREEZY
NORTHERLY FLOW...FURTHER REINFORCING THE COLD AIR...AND CONTRIBUTING
TO LOWER WIND CHILL VALUES. EXPECT HIGH TEMPS IN THE UPPER TEENS TO
MID 20S (RECORD LOW MAX TEMPS) NORTH TO SOUTH WITH WIND CHILL VALUES
NEAR ZERO. THE SURFACE HIGH WILL DRIFT EAST OVERNIGHT AND THE
PRESSURE GRADIENT OVER CENTRAL NC WILL RELAX. THIS COUPLED WITH
MOSTLY CLEAR SKIES WILL ALLOW RADIATIONAL COOLING TO BRING LOW
TEMPERATURES TO NEAR 0 DEGREES IN THE NORTH AND CLOSER TO 10 ACROSS
THE SOUTH. WIND CHILLS OF -5 DEGREES ARE POSSIBLE.

THE MIGRATORY HIGH WILL CONTINUE TO DRIFT EAST ON FRIDAY AND IT IS
FAIRLY STRONG AT 1037 MB. AS IT DRIFTS OFF THE COAST AN IN-SITU
DAMMING CAD WEDGE IS NOT OUT OF THE QUESTION. THE GFS IS HINTING
MORE AT THIS THAN THE ECMWF AT THIS TIME AND THE MODELS
INTERPRETATIONS OF HOW THIS WILL PLAY OUT WILL HAVE A BIG IMPACT ON
THE WEEKEND FORECAST. STILL DRY FOR FRIDAY THOUGH WITH INCREASING
CLOUDS. FLOW ALOFT BECOMES MORE ZONAL BUT VERY COLD AIR STILL IN
PLACE. HIGH TEMPERATURES WILL RECOVER 25 DEGREES FROM THURSDAY
NIGHTS LOWS BUT COMING FROM NEAR ZERO THAT WILL ONLY PUT HIGHS IN
THE MID 20S NORTH TO NEAR 30 IN THE SOUTH AND STILL IN RECORD LOW
MAX TERRITORY. STILL DRY THROUGH FRIDAY NIGHT BUT CLOUDS WILL HELP
KEEP TEMPERATURES UP A BIT BUT STILL NEAR RECORD LOWS...MID TO UPPER
TEENS.

FORECAST BECOMES VERY MURKY FOR THE REST OF THE LONG TERM WITH THE
EVOLUTION OF THE NEXT SYSTEM THAT COMES OUR WAY. THE MODELS DIFFER
IN THE HANDLING OF PRECIPITATION ON SATURDAY BUT THERE ARE
SIGNIFICANT FEATURES IN EACH SOLUTION THAT TELL US WHY. FIRST OF
ALL...THE GFS IS WET AND THE ECMWF MODEL IS DRY THROUGH THE DAY ON
SATURDAY. THE REASONING GOES BACK TO THE POTENTIAL IN-SITU DAMMING
WEDGE IN THE GFS. AS THE SURFACE HIGH MOVES OUT TO SEA...THIS WEDGE
FRONT IS STRENGTHENED IN THE GFS AND ISENTROPIC LIFT
ENSUES...BRINGING A FAIR AMOUNT OF QPF OVER THE ENTIRE STATE OF NC.
THIS CAD SCENARIO NEVER REALLY DEVELOPS IN THE EC AND THUS IT IS DRY.

THE SECOND DIFFERENC IS IN THE HANDLING OF THE SURFACE LOWS
CONTROLLING THE SYSTEM. IN THE GFS...THE ORIGINAL PARENT LOW DRIFTS
WAY OFF INTO SOUTHERN CANADA AND A NEW LOW FORMS WEST OF THE
APPALACHIANS AND TAKES CONTROL OF THE SYSTEM AND BRINGS A WARM FRONT
UP THROUGH THE STATE. IN THE EC SOLUTION THE PARENT LOW REMAINS MUCH
CLOSER (OVER NY STATE) AND THE SECONDARY LOW NEVER DEVELOPS. THE
RESULT IS NC REMAINING IN THE WARM SECTOR LONGER AND PRECIPITATION
HOLDING OFF UNTIL SATURDAY NIGHT/SUNDAY.

HOW THESE FEATURES PAN OUT IN REALITY WILL ULTIMATELY DETERMINE WHAT
GOES ON AT THE SURFACE BUT THE UPSHOT IS THAT IF THE GFS IS CORRECT
WE WILL SEE COLDER TEMPERATURES AND PERHAPS ANOTHER SHOT AT WINTER P-
TYPES THIS WEEKEND...PARTICULARLY ON SATURDAY. IF THE ECMWF IS RIGHT
THAN THIS IS LESS LIKELY AND WE ARE LOOKING AT A SIGNIFICANTLY
WARMER AND ALL RAIN EVENT. PRECIPITATION MAY LINGER IN THE EAST BUT
WILL ULTIMATELY MOVE OUT OF THE CWA LATER ON MONDAY. FOR NOW THE
FORECAST WILL REFLECT A BLENDED SOLUTION CLOSER TO THE ENSEMBLE
MEANS.

&&

.AVIATION /12Z TUESDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/...
AS OF 705 AM MONDAY...

VFR CONDITIONS WILL DOMINATE TODAY/TONIGHT AT INT/GSO... WHILE AT
RDU/RWI/FAY... WIDESPREAD MVFR TO IFR CIGS AND MAINLY MVFR VSBYS
WITHIN PERIODS OF A WINTRY MIX WILL CONTINUE ACROSS THE AREA THROUGH
12Z TO 15Z. AT THESE EASTERN SITES... PATCHY PRECIP WITH A MIX OF
FREEZING RAIN AND SLEET WILL PERSIST FOR A FEW MORE HOURS...
TAPERING OFF BETWEEN 15Z AND 17Z. MVFR CIGS WILL THEN LIFT TO VFR...
CONTINUING THROUGH TONIGHT... ALTHOUGH A PERIOD OF MVFR CIGS MAY
STILL OCCUR DURING THE EARLY-MID AFTERNOON.

LOOKING BEYOND 12Z WED MORNING... VFR CONDITIONS SHOULD HOLD INTO
WED MORNING... BUT THEN AN ARCTIC COLD FRONT IS EXPECTED TO BRING A
3-5 HOUR PERIOD OF IFR/LIFR CIGS AND VSBYS WITH A BRIEF SNOW SHOWER
POSSIBLE. VFR CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED FROM LATE WED NIGHT THROUGH
SAT... BUT WITH VERY COLD WEATHER. -GIH
