AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE GREENVILLE-SPARTANBURG SC
952 AM EST MON JAN 18 2016

.SYNOPSIS...
COLD HIGH PRESSURE OUT OF CANADA WILL MOVE INTO THE REGION TODAY AND
LINGER INTO WEDNESDAY. AN UPPER LEVEL DISTURBANCE WILL MOVE IN FROM
THE WEST ON WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON. ANOTHER STRONGER LOW PRESSURE
SYSTEM IS EXPECTED TO DEVELOP WEST OF THE REGION ON THURSDAY AND
THEN SPREAD PRECIPITATION ACROSS THE WESTERN CAROLINAS AND NORTHEAST
GEORGIA THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY AS IT CROSSES OUR AREA.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...
AS OF 940 AM EST MONDAY...OBSERVED WIND CHILL VALUES REMAIN A ROBUST
ZERO TO MINUS 10 IN MANY MOUNTAIN LOCATIONS...WITH PLENTY OF MINUS
10 TO MINUS 20 ALONG THE HIGHER RIDGES...AND MT. MITCHELL A WHOPPING
MINUS 31 PRESENTLY. THE WIND CHILL ADVISORY WILL CONTINUE IN PLACE
UNTIL NOON AND LIKELY BE REPLACED WITH A NEW WIND CHILL ADVISORY
FOR MUCH OF THE NC MOUNTAINS THROUGH TONIGHT.

OTHERWISE...SATELLITE IMAGERY SHOWS THAT MOST OF THE MOISTURE HAS
DRIED UP ACROSS THE UPSLOPE AREAS NEAR THE TN BORDER...AND MID
CLOUDS TO WEST ARE DIMINISHING AS THEY MOVE INTO DRIER AIR IN THE
BASE OF THE TROUGH OVER OUR REGION...SO A SUNNY...BRISK...AND COLD
WINTER DAY REMAINS IN STORE. WITH HIGH PRESSURE BUILDING IN FROM THE
NW...AND THE THICKNESS TROUGH BECOMING MORE PROMINENT...HIGH TEMPS
SHOULD BE ON THE ORDER OF TEN TO 15 DEGREES BELOW NORMAL. A WEAK
SHORT WAVE WILL STILL DROP DOWN ACROSS THE REGION THIS AFTERNOON BUT
IT WILL BE MOISTURE STARVED. THE MAIN EFFECT WILL BE TO KEEP A
PRESSURE GRADIENT ACROSS THE REGION INTO TONIGHT...WITH SLIGHTLY
STRONGER WINDS AT 850 MB IN ITS WAKE. THIS SHOULD KEEP ENOUGH OF A
NW WIND AT THE SURFACE...COMBINED WITH TEMPS DROPPING DOWN INTO THE
SINGLE DIGITS AND TEENS ACROSS THE MTNS...TO REQUIRE ANOTHER WIND
CHILL ADVISORY FOR MOST IF NOT ALL THE NC MTN COUNTIES. TEMPS SHOULD
DROP DOWN INTO THE TEENS E OF THE MTNS...BUT WIND CHILL VALUES ARE
EXPECTED TO REMAIN WELL ABOVE ZERO.

&&

.SHORT TERM /TUESDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
AS OF 310 AM...THE 0Z RUNS OF THE ECMWF AND GFS INDICATED THAT THE
CENTER OF A COLD AND DRY CANADIAN AIR MASS WILL PUSH OVER THE OHIO
RIVER VALLEY BY TUESDAY AFTERNOON. H85 TEMPS ARE FORECAST TO RANGE
FROM -5C OVER THE LAKELANDS TO -15C OVER THE NRN MTNS BY TUESDAY
AFTERNOON. LLVL THICKNESSES WILL LIKELY SLOWLY MODIFY UNDER SUNNY
CONDITIONS AND DOWNSLOPE FLOW. HIGH TEMPERATURES SHOULD REMAIN 10 TO
15 DEGREES BELOW NORMAL...RANGING FROM THE TEENS ACROSS THE NRN MTNS
TO THE UPPER 30S ACROSS THE UPSTATE. IN ADDITION...AFTERNOON
DEWPOINTS WILL REMAIN IN THE SINGLE DIGITS...BELOW ZERO ACROSS THE
HIGH TERRAIN.

BY 12Z WED...THE CENTER OF HIGH PRESSURE WILL REACH THE ATLANTIC
COAST AS LOW PRESSURE APPROACHES FROM THE SOUTHERN MISSISSIPPI RIVER
VALLEY. LLVL WINDS SHOULD BACK FROM THE SW BY THE PREDAWN
HOURS...PROVIDING WEAK WAA. CLOUD COVER WILL SPREAD EAST AHEAD OF
THE LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM...INCREASING FROM THE TOP DOWN. LOW
TEMPERATURES ARE FORECAST TO RANGE FROM THE TEENS ACROSS THE MTNS TO
THE LOW 20S ACROSS THE UPPER SAVANNAH RIVER VALLEY. CONDITIONS WILL
REMAIN DRY.

ON WEDNESDAY...SHORT RANGE MODELS INDICATE THAT A MID LEVEL S/W WILL
RIPPLE EAST ACROSS THE SOUTHERN APPALACHIANS AS A DEEPER TROF
AMPLIFIES OVER THE SOUTHERN PLAINS. GFS360 TIMES A BROAD N-S FIELD
OF WEAK Q-VECTOR CONVERGENCE ACROSS THE FORECAST AREA DURING THE
DAYLIGHT HOURS WEDNESDAY. THE MID LEVEL SUPPORT COMBINED WITH WEST
H85 WINDS AND DEEP MOISTURE WILL SUPPORT CHC TO LIKELY POPS ACROSS
THE MTNS AND SCHC POPS WEST OF I-77. TEMPERATURES ARE FORECAST TO
PEAK IN THE 40S FROM THE MTN VALLEYS EAST ACROSS THE FOOTHILLS AND
PIEDMONT. MOST AREAS SHOULD SEE A COLD RAIN. HOWEVER...HIGHER
ELEVATIONS WILL SEE SEVERAL HOURS OF ACCUMULATING SNOWFALL...ACCUMS
FORECAST TO RANGE NEAR 2 INCHES ACROSS THE RIDGES OF THE SMOKIES.

&&

.LONG TERM /WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY/...
AT 4 AM MONDAY...A VERY DYNAMIC SYSTEM WILL TRACK ACROSS THE
FORECAST AREA DURING THE EXTENDED PERIOD.

WEDNESDAY NIGHT...A BROAD 1027 MB SFC HIGH IS FORECAST TO SPREAD
ACROSS THE MID APPALACHIAN REGION BY 12Z THURS. LOW TEMPERATURES
EXPECTED TO RANGE FROM THE UPPER 20S TO LOW 30S ACROSS THE FORECAST
AREA. TO THE WEST...RAPID CYCLOGENESIS IS EXPECTED OVER THE ARKLATX
AROUND DAYBREAK THURS. THURSDAY...MOISTURE AND LIFT ASSOCIATED WITH
A WARM FRONT WILL LIFT ACROSS CWA...SUPPORTING INCREASING POPS
THROUGH THE DAY...PRIMARILY DURING THE AFTERNOON. BASED ON THE
TEMPERATURE FORECAST...I WILL FORECAST GENERALLY A COLD RAIN ON
THURSDAY. THE HIGHEST ELEVATIONS COULD SEE LIGHT SN ACCUMS DURING
THE MORNING HOURS...MELTING LATER IN THE DAY.

AN IMPRESSIVE MILLER TYPE-A SYSTEM WILL DEVELOP THURSDAY NIGHT
THROUGH FRIDAY ACROSS THE SOUTHEAST. THE 0Z ECMWF AND GFS INDICATE
STRONG 290K ISENTROPIC LIFT DEVELOPING EARLY FRIDAY
MORNING...PEAKING AROUND 18Z FRIDAY...LIFTING NORTH OF THE REGION
DURING THE REGION. AT THE MID LEVELS...Q-VECTOR CONVERGENCE WILL
STRENGTHENING OVERHEAD AS A SHARP...NEARLY CLOSED OFF...H5 TROF
RIPPLES OVER THE SOUTHERN APPALACHIANS. IN ADDITION...THE GFS
INDICATES THAT A BAND OF SFC CAPE MAY DEVELOP ON THE BACK EDGE OF
THE DEEP FORCING FRIDAY AFTERNOON. STRONG SYNOPTIC SCALE
FORCING...LLVL UPSLOPE FLOW...AND PWS AROUND AN INCH HAS CREATED
SEVERAL CONCERNS.

FIRST...GUIDANCE INDICATES THAT A BAND OF MODERATE
TO HEAVY PRECIP WILL TRACK ACROSS THE FOOTHILLS AND PIEDMONT DURING
THE DAYLIGHT HOURS FRIDAY. HIGH RATES AND HEAVY QPF COULD YIELD AN
EXCESSIVE RAINFALL EVENT THREAT ACROSS THE I-85 CORRIDOR...THAT IS
IF THE PRECIP FALLS IN LIQUID FORM.

SECOND...TEMPERATURES FRI MORNING RE FORECAST TO RANGE IN THE 30S
ACROSS THE FORECAST AREA. I WOULD NOT BE SURPRISED IF THE STRENGTH
OF COLD AIR DAMMING IS UNDER ESTIMATED WITHIN THE ECMWF AND GFS. I
WILL FAVOR COOLER GUIDANCE FOR HIGHS...REMAINING IN THE 30S ACROSS
THE NRN MTNS AND EAST ACROSS THE I-40 CORRIDOR DURING THE AFTERNOON.
BASED OF FORECAST THERMAL PROFILES AND SFC TEMPS...SNOW...MODERATE
TO HEAVY AT TIMES...IS POSSIBLE ACROSS THE NC FOOTHILLS AND NRN MTNS
THROUGH MOST OF THE DAY...YIELDING SIGNIFICANT SNOWFALL ACCUMS.

THIRD...FRIDAY NIGHT THE SFC LOW WILL TRACK NE ALONG THE ATLANTIC
COAST AS THE CENTER OF THE H5 LOW MOVES OVER THE MTNS. H85 WINDS
WILL INCREASE FROM THE NW AND TEMPS WILL COOL TO -3C TO -8C ACROSS
THE NC MTNS. ACCUMULATING SNOW SHOULD INCREASE AND CONTINUE THROUGH
THE OVERNIGHT HOURS INTO SATURDAY. IN ADDITION...FRIDAY TEMPS WILL
FALL WELL INTO THE 20S ACROSS THE MTNS...WITH FREEZING POSSIBLE EAST
ACROSS THE I-85 CORRIDOR...RESULTING IN WIDESPREAD BLACK ICE. THE
RAIN...SNOW...AND BLACK ICE WILL BE ADDED TO THE HWO. CONDITIONS
WILL DRY AND REMAIN COOL THROUGH THE REST OF THE EXTENDED.

&&

.AVIATION /15Z MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/...
KCLT AND ELSEWHERE...EXPECT VFR AND CLEAR CONDITIONS THROUGH THE
PERIOD WITH BRISK W TO NW WINDS AS HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS IN FROM THE
NW. SPEEDS WILL INCREASE TO AROUND 10 KT FOR THE BALANCE OF THE DAY
E OF THE BLUE RIDGE...WITH SUSTAINED WINDS 10 TO 15 KT AT KAVL WITH
GUSTS TO 25 KT OR BETTER AT TIMES. THE WIND SHOULD DIMINISH WITH
SUNSET...OR AT LEAST THE GUSTINESS WILL DIMINISH.

OUTLOOK...A DRY AND COLD CANADIAN AIR MASS WILL REMAIN IN CONTROL
ACROSS THE REGION TUESDAY. A WEAK SYSTEM SHOULD BRING CLOUD COVER
BACK OVER THE REGION WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY. A STRONGER
SYSTEM WILL IMPACT THE REGION THURSDAY NIGHT AND FRIDAY WITH
WIDESPREAD RESTRICTIONS LIKELY.
