Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Columbia SC
319 PM EST Thu Jan 5 2017

.SYNOPSIS...
Low pressure will move NE offshore the US east coast tonight and
Friday, while the center of cold polar high presure shifts SE into
the Central Plains. Colder air will filter into our region Friday
and Saturday, while an area of low pressure develops near the Gulf
coast and shifts NE offshore the Carolinas. Combination of moisture
spreading into the region along with the colder air filtering in,
will provide potential for snow for mainly the Northern and Central
portions of the CSRA and Midlands. The system will depart late
Saturday, while a reinforcing shot of very cold polar air shifts SE
into our region through early next week, providing potential for
very cold temperatures.
&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM FRIDAY MORNING/...
An upper level trough will be pass north of The Midlands and CSRA
this afternoon and evening. This system will bring clouds but no
precipitation.  The lower clouds will move east of the region
tonight, however high clouds from the incoming winter storm are
expected to overspread the area.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 AM FRIDAY MORNING THROUGH SATURDAY NIGHT/...
Latest array of models appear to be in pretty good overall
agreement. Upper troughiness will dig into the E CONUS. A cold
high pressure air mass to our NW will shift SE, bringing colder
air into our region, while an area of low pressure develops over
the northern Gulf of Mexico, tracks NE across N FL and offshore
the Carolinas, spreading moisture into our region. Combination of
moisture and cold air provides potential for winter precipitation.
Initially, the precipitation appears will start out as rain Friday
afternoon and evening, transitioning to snow and/or snow sleet mix
from north to south late Friday night into Saturday morning as the
low level colder air works southward. Given the track of the low,
and given that cold air is not in place before the moisture
arrives but is coming in during the event, think best chance of
accumulating snow will be northern portions of the FA, though some
light snow/sleet accumulations possible central FA. Most
significant precipitation appears will shift to our east by
Saturday afternoon, as drier air moves in aloft, with lingering
drizzle/freezing drizzle Saturday afternoon/evening. This appears
to be generally a Miller Type A pattern, with an expected narrow
transition zone and possibly a tight gradient in observed snow
accumulations setting up over the FA. With better confidence of
accumulating snow northern FA, will shift the Winter Storm Watch a
little farther south but keep it mainly just north of
Columbia/Augusta metro/I-20 corridor at this time. Will upgrade
extreme N FA to a Warning.

&&

.LONG TERM /SUNDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
A reinforcing shot of cold polar high pressure will settle into the
region Sunday through Tuesday, then the high will weaken and shift
east ahead of an approaching front that appears will move through
Wednesday. Main concern will be very cold temperatures Sunday and
Monday mornings, possibly Tuesday morning as well, along with low
wind chill values Saturday night/Sunday morning across the north FA
and late Sunday/Sunday night. Any lingering snow cover, more likely
across the N/NE FA, will provide potential for even lower min temps
there. Wind chill advisories may be needed for portions of the FA
Sat nt/Sun morning, and again Sunday night.

&&

.AVIATION /20Z THURSDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...
MVFR ceilings are expected this afternoon and early this evening
with the passage of an upper level trough north of the TAF sites.

EXTENDED AVIATION OUTLOOK...
By Friday into Saturday...low pressure is expected to develop in
the Nrn Gulf of Mexico and move across Nrn Florida and up along
the Southeast coast. Rain, with MVFR CIGs, expected to develop
Friday afternoon. Precipitation expected to transition to snow,
rain/snow mix, Friday night and Saturday, along with associated
CIG/VSBY restrictions. Precipitation will taper off Saturday
afternoon, but CIG and possible VSBY restrictions could linger
through Saturday night.

&&

.CAE WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
GA...Winter Storm Watch from late Friday night through Saturday
     afternoon for GAZ040.
SC...Winter Storm Watch from late Friday night through Saturday
     afternoon for SCZ018-020>022-025-026-029.
