AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE GREENVILLE-SPARTANBURG SC
942 PM EST MON FEB 15 2016

.SYNOPSIS...
A COLD RIDGE OF SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE WILL GRADUALLY WEAKEN AND
SHIFT NORTH THROUGH THE OVERNIGHT...WHILE A MOIST COLD FRONT
CROSSES THE AREA FROM THE WEST. A FAST MOVING UPPER LEVEL SYSTEM
WILL REACH THE MOUNTAINS LATE TUESDAY...BEFORE DRY AND MILDER HIGH
PRESSURE RETURNS AND REMAINS INTO THE WEEKEND.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TUESDAY/...
AS OF 930 PM...LIGHT PRECIP CONTINUES TO BLOSSOM ACROSS THE WESTERN
CAROLINAS AND NORTHEAST GEORGIA IN RESPONSE TO INCREASING LOW LEVEL
ISENTROPIC LIFT AS LOW PRESSURE APPROACHES FROM THE SW. MUCH OF THIS
WAS FALLING INTO A VERY SHALLOW BOUNDARY LAYER THAT WAS BELOW
FREEZING. RAIN RATES ARE ONLY ON THE ORDER OF A FEW HUNDREDTHS PER
HOUR...SO ICE ACCRETION ON TREE LIMBS AND POWER LINES HAS BEEN SLOW.
THE REAL STORY...HOWEVER...HAS BEEN THE ROAD SURFACES...AS THE AIR
TEMP HAS BEEN BELOW 32F FOR THE ENTIRE DAY ACROSS THE AREA ALONG AND
N OF I-85 AND E OF THE APPALACHIAN DIVIDE. THE SITUATION IS A
CLASSIC ONE IN WHICH UNTREATED BRIDGES...OVERPASSES...AND NORMALLY
SHADY SPOTS BECOME ICY...RENDERING MANY ROADS TREACHEROUS IN SOME
SPOTS. WHILE THE LIGHT PRECIP CONTINUES TO DEVELOP...WE ARE ALSO
SEEING SFC TEMPS STARTING A SLOW UPWARD CREEP. THE MODELS SUGGEST
THAT TEMPS WILL CLIMB ABOVE 32F WITH THE ARRIVAL OF THE HEAVIER RAIN
DRIVEN FORWARD BY STRONG LOW LEVEL WARM ADVECTION. THERE COULD BE AN
HOUR OR TWO AS THE STEADIER PRECIP ARRIVES WHEN MORE ICE ACCRETION
WILL TAKE PLACE. THINK THE RATE MIGHT BE TOO HIGH TO ALLOW FOR ICE
ACCRETION TO REACH ONE QUARTER INCH IN THE ADVISORY AREA...SO AN
UPGRADE IS NOT PLANNED AT THIS TIME. THE WARMER RAIN IS EXPECTED TO
BRING AN END TO THE ICE BY AROUND MIDNIGHT ACROSS THE PIEDMONT AND
BY AROUND 4 AM ACROSS THE NC FOOTHILLS/BLUE RIDGE. WILL RE-EVALUATE
THE ONGOING COLLECTION OF WARNINGS AND ADVISORIES THRU 11 PM WITH AN
EYE FOR WHAT WILL NEED TO BE EXTENDED INTO THE EARLY MORNING
HOURS...MOST LIKELY THE ONES ACROSS THE NC FOOTHILLS...WHICH ALWAYS
WARM UP AND SCOUR OUT THE LAST.

ALTHOUGH GUSTY WINDS ARE EXPECTED ACROSS THE HIGH ELEVATIONS
TONIGHT...THEY SHOULD REMAIN BELOW ADVISORY LEVEL EXCEPT FOR
LOCATIONS ABOVE 5000 FEET. THERE WILL BE SOME GUSTY WINDS OUTSIDE OF
THE MOUNTAINS OVERNIGHT...BUT SHOULD REMAIN WELL BELOW ADVISORY
LEVEL AS WELL.

A DRY SLOT MOVES IN OVERNIGHT BEHIND THE SHORT WAVE AND UPPER JET.
THIS WILL BRING A QUICK END TO PRECIP FROM SW TO NE OUTSIDE OF THE
MOUNTAINS BY DAYBREAK TUESDAY. THERE WILL BE SOME LINGERING
PRECIP THRU THE MORNING OVER THE MOUNTAINS...BUT THIS WILL MOSTLY BE
RAIN...WITH LIGHT SNOW POSSIBLE AT THE HIGHER ELEVATIONS WITH NO
SIGNIFICANT ACCUMULATIONS. A CLIPPER SYSTEM MOVES TOWARD THE AREA
FROM THE NW DURING THE AFTERNOON. THIS WILL BRING AN INCREASE IN
CLOUDS AND PRECIP CHANCES...ESPECIALLY TO THE MOUNTAINS. GIVEN THE
RELATIVELY WARM TEMPS AHEAD OF THIS SYSTEM...MOST LOCATIONS WILL SEE
RAIN... POSSIBLY CHANGING TO SNOW AT THE HIGHER ELEVATIONS...WITH
ONLY VERY LIGHT ACCUMS EXPECTED BY THE END OF THE DAY.

&&

.SHORT TERM /TUESDAY NIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY/...
AS OF 200 PM MON...A WEAK AND FAST-MOVING CLIPPER WILL QUICKLY SWING
ACROSS THE AREA TUE NIGHT...BRIEFLY HAVING MOISTURE SUFFICIENTLY
DEEP ENOUGH TO EXPECT A PERIOD OF CLOUDINESS AND A CHANCE OF
PRECIP EVEN EAST OF THE MTNS. THE MID-UPPER LEVEL QG FORCING
ASSOCIATED WITH THE SHORTWAVE WILL BE EAST OF THE AREA BY THE EARLY
MORNING...AND RAPID DRYING IN ITS WAKE APPEARS MOST LIKELY TO BRING
ANY PRECIP TO AN END BEFORE TEMPS COOL ENOUGH TO ALLOW SNOW AT THE
SFC OUTSIDE THE FOOTHILLS AND FAR NW NC PIEDMONT. CONTINUED NWLY
UPPER FLOW UNDER THE ERN CONUS TROUGH WILL RESULT IN LIGHT SNOW
ACCUMS CONTINUING OVER THE TENN BORDER AREAS INTO THE EARLY PART
OF THE DAY WED. A SECONDARY AND LESS WELL-DEFINED CLIPPER-LIKE
SHORTWAVE WILL MOVE ACRS THE MTNS LATE IN THE DAY WED...PERHAPS
ALLOWING A SLIGHT UPTICK IN THE UPSLOPE WIND SPEEDS...BUT WITHOUT
ENOUGH MOISTURE TO EXPECT ADDITIONAL PRECIP. WITH SNOW RATIOS
NOT LIKELY TO BE VERY HIGH GIVEN SHALLOW MOISTURE FOR MOST OF
THE PERIOD...1 TO 2 INCHES OF NEW ACCUM COULD RESULT IN THE MOST
FAVORED NW FLOW AREAS...PROBABLY NOT WARRANTING ANOTHER ADVISORY.

TEMPS WILL REMAIN AROUND NORMAL WEDNESDAY...WITH DOWNSLOPING
OFFSETTING COLD ADVECTION FOLLOWING THE CLIPPER. WED NIGHT INTO
THU DRY HIGH PRESSURE WILL SETTLE OVER THE EASTERN SEABOARD...WITH
MOSTLY CLEAR SKIES AND LIGHT WINDS. TEMPS WILL DROP BACK A DEGREE
OR TWO IN MOST LOCATIONS.

&&

.LONG TERM /THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH MONDAY/...
AS OF 115 PM...A SUBSTANTIAL PATTERN CHANGE IS EXPECTED ACROSS THE
CONUS BY THE START OF THE MEDIUM RANGE...WITH A LESS AMPLIFIED/MORE
QUASI-ZONAL UPPER AIR SCENARIO ANTICIPATED. THE PERIOD WILL BEGIN
DRY...WITH TEMPS PRETTY CLOSE TO CLIMO THU NIGHT AND FRI. A POTENT/
FAST MOVING SHORT WAVE TROUGH AND ASSOCIATED CYCLONE IS EXPECTED TO
MOVE ACROSS THE GREAT LAKES REGION FRI/FRI NIGHT...WHICH WILL DRAG A
COLD FRONT TOWARD THE SOUTHEAST COASTAL STATES. HOWEVER...WITH THE
FLOW BECOMING INCREASINGLY ZONAL...THE FRONT IS EXPECTED TO BECOME
MORE E/W ORIENTED AND QUASI-STATIONARY ACROSS THE SOUTHEAST. AS THE
COLD FRONT APPROACHES...THERE WILL BE MINIMAL MOISTURE WITH WHICH TO
INTERACT...THUS POPS WILL BE LIMITED TO SMALL/SLIGHT CHANCES...
MAINLY ALONG THE TN BORDER.

WEAK HEIGHT FALLS OVERSPREADING THE EASTERN CONUS OVER THE WEEKEND
MAY ALLOW RAIN SHOWERS TO ACTIVATE ALONG THE QUASI-STATIONARY
FRONT. THUS...SLIGHT CHANCE/CHANCE POPS WILL OVERSPREAD THE ENTIRE
FORECAST AREA SUNDAY NIGHT AND MONDAY. THE WARMING TREND WILL
CONTINUE THROUGH THE PERIOD...AS HEIGHTS RISE AND CLOUDS/MOISTURE
INCREASE. IN FACT...TEMPS WILL BE AS MUCH AS 10 DEGREES ABOVE NORMAL
FROM FRI NIGHT THROUGH THE END OF THE PERIOD.

&&

.AVIATION /03Z TUESDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/...
AT KCLT...AVIATION FCST LOOKS GRIM OVER THE NEXT 12 HOURS OR SO.
RADAR TRENDS SUPPORT KEEPING A TEMPO CONDITION FOR FREEZING RAIN
UNTIL 01Z...THEREAFTER THERE COULD BE SOME LINGERING FREEZING
DRIZZLE UNTIL TEMPS FINALLY WARM ABOVE 32F...PERHAPS BY 03Z. NOW
THAT THE NC PIEDMONT IS SOLIDLY IN THE IFR/LOW IFR...IT SHOULD STAY
THAT WAY FOR THE BALANCE OF THE NIGHT. CONDITIONAL CLIMO LOOKS
RELATIVELY ROBUST AND SUGGESTS THAT AT LEAST THE CEILING WILL REMAIN
IFR OR WORSE FOR THE NEXT 12 HOURS. VISIBILITY WILL BE MVFR FOR A
GOOD BIT OF TEH TIME...UNTIL SOME HEAVIER RAIN MOVES THRU DURING THE
PRE-DAWN HOURS. AT THIS POINT...THE IFR WILL PERSIST PROBABLY UNTIL
THE FRONT MOVES THROUGH AN HOUR OR SO AFTER DAYBREAK. ANOTHER STORY
WILL BE THE POTENTIAL FOR LOW LEVEL WIND SHEAR AS A VERY STRONG LOW
LEVEL JET TRANSLATES EAST ACROSS THE PIEDMONT AHEAD OF THE FRONT.
THE SHOWERS COULD MIX DOWN SOME OF THE HIGHER MOMENTUM AIR...SO WIND
GUSTS WERE PUT IN THE TAF ONCE THE WIND SHIFTS AROUND TO S AROUND
08Z. THE TAF DOES NOT REMOVE RESTRICTIONS UNTIL 16Z...BUT THAT COULD
BE A FEW HOURS TOO LATE. THIS WILL BE REFINED WITH THE 06Z ISSUANCE.

ELSEWHERE...FREEZING DRIZZLE WILL CONTINUE FOR THE NEXT SEVERAL
HOURS AT THE REMAINING TAF SITES...UNTIL THE WARM ADVECTION ARRIVES
WITH THE MAIN RAIN BAND SEEN ON RADAR TO THE WEST...AND TEMPS RISE
ABOVE 32F. OTHERWISE...IT IS JUST A MATTER OF TIMING THE FRONT
ACROSS THE REGION. CONDITIONS WILL REMAIN IFR/LIFR UNTIL THE FRONT
PASSES. LOW LEVEL WIND SHEAR COULD BE A PROBLEM DURING THE PRE-DAWN
HOURS AHEAD OF THE FRONT.

OUTLOOK...ANOTHER TROUGH WILL CROSS THE REGION TUESDAY NIGHT...WITH
ADDITIONAL WINTRY PRECIPITATION AND RESTRICTIONS POSSIBLE MAINLY AT
KAVL. OTHERWISE...EXPECT DRYING THROUGH THE WEEK.
