Area forecast discussion, Apr 4, 3:14 AM EDT, 5 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE GREENVILLE-SPARTANBURG SC
314 AM EDT MON APR 4 2016
.SYNOPSIS...
DRY AND COOL HIGH PRESSURE WILL MOVE OFF THE COAST AS ANOTHER
COLD FRONT APPROACHES FROM THE NORTH. THIS COLD FRONT SHOULD CROSS
OUR REGION TONIGHT...FOLLOWED BY ANOTHER ROUND OF COOL HIGH
PRESSURE ON TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY. A STRONGER COLD FRONT IS FORECAST
TO CROSS THE AREA WEDNESDAY INTO THURSDAY...WITH EVEN COOLER
TEMPERATURES LEADING INTO THE WEEKEND.
&&
.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...
AT 230 AM MONDAY...AN AMPLIFYING UPPER TROUGH WILL PROGRESS ACROSS
THE EASTERN SEABOARD TODAY AND TONIGHT. SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE WILL
DRIFT SE OF OUR AREA TODAY...WHILE A COLD FRONT APPROACHES FROM THE
NW. THE PRESSURE GRADIENT WILL TIGHTEN AHEAD OF THIS FRONT...
SUPPORTING GUSTY WINDS...BUT ADVISORY CRITERIA WILL NOT BE MET. WITH
DRY CONDITIONS AHEAD OF THE FRONT...PRECIPITATION IS NOT EXPECTED
UNTIL LATE THIS AFTERNOON AT THE EARLIEST...AND SHOULD BE CONFINED
TO THE MOUNTAINS. FRONTAL PASSAGE OCCURS THIS EVENING...WITH
DOWNSLOPE DRYING PREVENTING POST FRONTAL PRECIPITATION EAST OF THE
MOUNTAINS. A BRIEF CHANGEOVER TO SNOW SHOWERS IS POSSIBLE OVERNIGHT
IN THE MOUNTAINS BEFORE DRYING OCCURS THERE AS WELL TOWARD DAWN.
SNOW ACCUMULATIONS ARE NOT EXPECTED HOWEVER.
HIGH TEMPERATURES TODAY WILL RUN AROUND 3 DEGREES ABOVE NORMAL. LOW
TEMPERATURES ARE EXPECTED TO REACH FREEZING TUESDAY MORNING IN THE
NORTHERN NC MOUNTAINS...AND MID AND UPPER ELEVATIONS OF THE SOUTHERN
AND CENTRAL MOUNTAINS NC MOUNTAINS...AND THE FREEZE ADVISORY FOR
THOSE AREAS WILL BE UPGRADED TO A FREEZE WARNING. RELATIVE HUMIDITY
WILL NOT BE SUPPORTIVE OF FROST HOWEVER.
&&
.SHORT TERM /TUESDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
AS OF 245 AM MONDAY...A DEEP UPPER TROUGH AXIS WILL BE STRETCHED
DOWN THE EASTERN SEABOARD AT THE START OF THE SHORT TERM...PUSHING
THE COLD FRONT TO OUR EAST AND COOL AND DRY CANADIAN HIGH PRESSURE
CENTERED OVER THE GREAT LAKES BEGINNING TO WORK ITS WAY TOWARD THE
SOUTHEAST. IMMEDIATELY BEHIND THE COLD FRONT WE SHOULD SEE SOME
FAIRLY SIGNIFICANT CAA...BUT THIS WEAKENS DURING THE DAY ON TUESDAY.
NORTHWEST FLOW ALOFT BEHIND THE UPPER TROUGH WILL GIVE WAY TO WEAK
RIDGING BY MIDDAY WEDNESDAY... WITH THE AMPLITUDE SLOWLY INCREASING
IN RESPONSE TO ANOTHER DIGGING TROUGH OVER THE PLAINS. WITH THE COOL
HIGH PRESSURE IN PLACE IN THE WEAK CAA REGIME...TEMPERATURES SHOULD
REMAIN SEVERAL DEGREES BELOW SEASONAL NORMALS. ALSO...SHOULD SEE
ANOTHER COLD NIGHT TUESDAY NIGHT ESPECIALLY AS WINDS DROP OFF ACROSS
THE PIEDMONT OVERNIGHT. HAVE POSTED A FREEZE WATCH FOR ALL OUR NC
ZONES...OF COURSE SOME ZONE MIGHT NOT QUITE MAKE IT BUT THE DETAILS
CAN BE WORKED OUT WITH LATER UPDATES.
THE SURFACE HIGH PUSHES OFF THE EAST COAST AS THE WAVETRAIN SLIDES
EAST AND THE WEAK RIDGING MOVES OVER THE APPALACHIANS. SURFACE FLOW
VEERS AROUND AND BECOMES SOUTHEASTERLY AND THEN SOUTHERLY DURING THE
DAY ON WEDNESDAY. WITH THIS RETURN FLOW...OROGRAPHIC UPGLIDE...PLUS
THE APPROACH OF THE NEXT SYSTEM...SHOULD START TO SEE AN INCREASE IN
CLOUD COVER WEDNESDAY THAT WILL DO A PRETTY GOOD JOB OF COUNTERING
WHATEVER WARMING MIGHT TRY TO OCCUR WITH THE LOW-LEVEL SOUTHERLY
FLOW. NO POPS UNTIL AFTER 00Z THURSDAY WHICH STARTS THE EXTENDED.
&&
.LONG TERM /WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY/...
AS OF 300 AM MONDAY...EXTENDED BEGINS WITH STRONG SHORTWAVE DIVING
SOUTHEAST FROM THE UPPER MIDWEST INTO THE OHIO VALLEY BY THE START
OF THE PERIOD. AFOREMENTIONED SURFACE HIGH IN THE WESTERN ATLANTIC
WILL BRING A MOIST RETURN FLOW TO THE AREA...AND COLD FRONT
STRETCHED FROM THE GREAT LAKES TO THE LOWER MISSISSIPPI VALLEY WILL
WARRANT POPS STARTING ACROSS OUR WESTERN ZONES AT THE START OF THE
PERIOD. GFS AND ECWMF ARE IN FAIRLY DECENT AGREEMENT ON THE TIMING
OF THE SYSTEM...WITH THE BULK OF THE PRECIPITATION BETWEEN 06Z-12Z
THURSDAY. SEE NO REASON TO NOT EXPAND THE AREA OF CATEGORICAL POPS
GIVEN THIS AGREEMENT. LOOKS LIKE A QUICK SHOT OF A GOOD 0.5-1 INCH
OF RAIN ACROSS THE AREA AS DEEP MOISTURE FETCH FROM THE GULF
INCREASES. CAN CERTAINLY SEE WHERE THERE MIGHT BE SOME EMBEDDED
THUNDER...BUT HAVE CONTINUED TREND OF NOT INCLUDING AT THIS TIME
ESPECIALLY GIVEN TIME OF DAY /OR NIGHT IN THIS CASE/ FOR THE FRONTAL
PASSAGE.
MEANWHILE...ANOTHER SHORTWAVE/CLIPPER DIVES RAPIDLY DOWN THE WESTERN
EDGE OF THE DEEPENING MEAN TROUGH...SLIDING FROM THE GREAT LAKES TO
THE SOUTHERN APPALACHIANS IN ONLY 12 HOURS. WHILE NOT PARTICULARLY
IMPRESSIVE AS FAR AS PRECIPITATION GOES...THIS CLIPPER WILL PUSH
ACROSS OUR FORECASTER AREA BEHIND THE FRONT AND REINFORCES THE
DEEP-LAYER CAA. ENOUGH MOISTURE HANGS UP OVER THE MOUNTAINS IN THE
STRONG NORTHWEST FLOW TO KEEP SHOWERY PRECIPITATION WELL INTO
SATURDAY...ESPECIALLY ACROSS THE NORTHERN MOUNTAINS. AS WE HAVE BEEN
ADVERTISING...PTYPE SHOULD WAFFLE BACK AND FORTH FROM RAIN TO SNOW
SHOWERS IN A DIURNAL PATTERN THROUGH THE DURATION OF THIS SYSTEM.
MOST SIGNIFICANT COVERAGE OF SNOW SHOWERS WILL LIKELY BE THURSDAY
NIGHT WITH THE DEEP TROUGH AXIS RIGHT OVER THE SPINE OF THE
MOUNTAINS. CURRENT ACCUMS ARE GENERALLY LESS THAN 1/2 INCH AT WORST
BUT WILL HAVE TO MONITOR THIS CLOSELY AS LATEST MODEL RUNS HAVE
BROUGHT MORE MOISTURE INTO THE AREA WITH THIS CLIPPER. AS IF THAT IS
NOT ENOUGH...YET ANOTHER SHORTWAVE DIGS AROUND THE WESTERN PERIPHERY
OF THE DEEP UPPER TROUGH FOR THE WEEKEND. 00Z ECMWF IS WETTER THAN
THE GFS AND IF THIS IS THE CASE...PRECIPITATION MIGHT LINGER IN THE
MOUNTAINS A LITTLE LATER.
BEHIND THIS SYSTEM AND WITH THE DEEP TROUGH IN PLACE...EXPECT
TEMPERATURES WELL BELOW NORMAL ACROSS THE AREA FRIDAY INTO
SATURDAY...HIGHS EVEN ACROSS THE UPSTATE PROGGED TO REMAIN IN THE
50S BOTH DAYS...WITH YET ANOTHER ROUND OF ADVECTIVE FREEZE
POTENTIAL. FRIDAY NIGHT LOOKS PARTICULARLY COLD WITH LOWS 10-15
DEGREES BELOW SEASONAL NORMALS.
THE DEEP UPPER LOW WILL FINALLY BEGIN TO LIFT AND FILL LATE IN THE
WEEKEND WITH RIDGING DEVELOPING ACROSS THE CENTER OF THE COUNTRY.
LOOKS KIND OF OMEGA-ISH WITH ANOTHER TROUGH OVER THE ROCKIES...AND
ESPECIALLY ECMWF HINTING AT SOME WARM FRONTAL MOISTURE BRINGING
PRECIPITATION TO THE AREA. HAVE INTRODUCED SLIGHT CHANCE POPS SUNDAY
NIGHT.
&&
.AVIATION /07Z MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/...
AT KCLT...VFR. LIGHT SSW WINDS WILL INCREASE AFTER DAYBREAK AS THE
PRESSURE GRADIENT TIGHTENS AHEAD OF AN APPROACHING COLD FRONT. WINDS
WILL DIMINISH SOMEWHAT THIS EVENING...VEERING WSW. DEW POINT
DEPRESSION DO NOT FAVOR FOG THIS MORNING.
ELSEWHERE...VFR. LIGHT SW WINDS WILL VEER NW AT KAVL BEFORE DAWN...
REMAINING SW AT FOOTHILLS SITES INTO EARLY THIS EVENING. GUSTS WILL
INCREASE AT ALL SITES AFTER DAWN AS THE PRESSURE GRADIENT TIGHTENS
AHEAD OF AN APPROACHING FRONT. WINDS GUSTS INCREASE WITH FRONTAL
PASSAGE AT KAVL IN THE EVENING. WINDS VEER NW AT FOOTHILLS SITES IN
THE EVENING...BUT GUSTS WILL DIMINISH SLIGHTLY. LOW VFR CLOUDS WILL
ARRIVE BEHIND THE FRONT...BUT COVERAGE WILL ONLY FAVOR A CIG AT KAVL.
DEW POINT DEPRESSIONS ARE NOT FAVORABLE FOR FOG THIS MORNING.
OUTLOOK...ANOTHER REINFORCING COLD FRONT POSSIBLY BRINGING BRIEF
SHOWERS TO THE MOUNTAINS MONDAY NIGHT. ANOTHER FRONT IS EXPECTED TO
BRING BETTER CHANCES FOR PRECIP AND RESTRICTIONS WEDNESDAY NIGHT
INTO EARLY THURSDAY.
