Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Greenville-Spartanburg SC
637 PM EST Thu Dec 7 2017

.SYNOPSIS...
A moist frontal zone will linger just to our southeast through the
end of the work week allowing temperatures to drop below normal with
light wintry precipitation possible for Friday and Saturday. A cold
upper level trof will then re-amplify over the area later on Saturday
and bring a shot of snow showers to the North Carolina mountains.
Cold temperatures will persist into the first half of next week.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH FRIDAY/...
As of 500 PM EST Thursday: New guidance trickling in continues to
trend cooler and wetter, and while the NAM remains a cold/wet
outlier, other 18z data shifting that direction lends confidence to
a slight uptick in snowfall amounts. Will continue to be a battle
between the cold air vs. moisture as is typically the case, but with
the moisture expected to now make it farther into the mountains, the
prudent course of action was to go ahead and hoist a Winter Weather
Advisory for the upslope areas of the SW mountains, including the
GA/SC mountains. Because NC's advisory criterion is 2" in 12h and we
have that over the South Mountains in Cleveland/Burke/Rutherford
Counties, included those areas, but most locations <1500ft will be
hard pressed to see anything more than a trace/dusting at this time
(uh, with the current forecast that is - if the trends continue that
may be pushed up as well). Concern is that in the prime overlap area
of the SC mountains (QPF and temps), current forecast is getting
close to warning criteria. Will continue to watch trends through the
evening and especially with the overnight forecast.

Otherwise, guidance is coming into better agreement regarding the
precip potential for tonight and Friday. Deep moisture moves in this
evening with decent upper divergence from the right entrance region
of the upper jet. Short waves move over as the upper trough deepens
to the west. Low level isentropic lift develops as well, but remains
relatively weak with abundant moisture. Despite an overall cooling
trend in forecast temps and surface wet bulb values, they remain
above freezing through the night outside of the mountains, but do
fall below freezing across the mountains. Of course, precip chances
are lower where temps are colder since those locations are farther
away from the better forcing. Therefore, have snow developing in the
colder locations with mainly rain elsewhere. Forecast soundings show
the freezing level dropping low enough for snow to mix in north of I-
85 with a change over possible across the Northern Foothills. QPF is
light but could be enough for around half an inch of snow along and
near the NC/GA to NC/SC border mountain locations. Snow would be
less across the rest of the mountains.

Categorical precip chances continue generally along and south of I-
85 Friday with likely chances north of there across the foothills to
along the Blue Ridge. Good chance PoP west of there. Temps and
surface wet bulbs remain cold enough for the precip to fall as snow
across the mountains with a transition zone across the NC Foothills.
Outside of these areas, freezing levels may fall low enough for snow
to mix or possibly even briefly change over early in the morning
mainly along and north of the I-85 corridor. QPF has increased on
some of the guidance runs which increases the potential for advisory
level snow across the NE GA and Upstate mountains, along with the
Southern Mountains and possibly portions of the NC foothills. After
final national guidance is in, we may need to update to post an
advisory for those locations. While these accums would develop in
grassy and elevated areas, it is still questionable how much
accumulates on roads given the recent warmth and sunshine. Locations
where the precipitation will be mixed or only a brief change over,
no significant accums are expected with any small amounts limited to
grassy or elevated areas.

&&

.SHORT TERM /FRIDAY NIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY/...
As of 230 PM Thu: We will remain slightly on the cold northwest
side of a surface frontal boundary through early Saturday. Models
are now more supportive of a resurgence in precipitation over the
CWFA Friday night, as the sharp shortwave moves into the central
Gulf states, and the jet streak strengthens over the southern
Appalachians and adjacent Piedmont. GFS and EC hold the thermal
gradient relatively steady over the area thru the night; wet-bulb
temps do gradually drop across the southeast half of the CWFA,
which should permit snow to mix in with rain if not totally change
over. However, the area with wet-bulb values at or below freezing
looks likely to expand little. This minimizes the accumulating
snowfall in the greater I-85 corridor.

QPF trends overall have been upward this cycle for the Friday night
period, particularly over the Blue Ridge and adjacent mountain
ranges (namely the Balsams); compare this to earlier suggestions
that all precip may have ended there by 00z Sat. In collaboration
with our neighboring offices, we will wait another cycle to see if
this trend continues before reflecting the higher numbers in the
forecast for these mountain areas. It is possible an additional
couple of inches could result and headlines still could be needed.

Another minor yet potentially significant trend in models is for
Saturday. As before, consensus suggests strong DPVA pushing thru
the area during the day along the trough axis. The difference is
that several sources depict the moisture departing more slowly,
and hence the vort max generates some QPF.  By the time this
precip develops it could have warmed up enough to fall as rain,
particularly in the east. However this is something for us to
watch closely.  A small amount of SBCAPE is depicted in parts of
the eastern CWFA to boot; however it slightly lags the forcing and
colder temps. For now PoPs will be allowed to linger thru Saturday
morning over our eastern zones; temp trends suggest this will be
a rain-snow mix changing back over to rain as it ends.

Winds veer Saturday afternoon as stronger cold advection sets
in across the area. The final phase of precip in this period
thus will be northwest-flow driven snow showers along the Tenn
border, developing by late afternoon, and continuing through early
Sunday. Thermo profiles look reasonably good in terms of saturation
at snow-growth temperatures, which given the very cold air spilling
into the area will be in the upslope layer. Current expectation
is for about another inch to fall Saturday night along the spine
of the Appalachians. Brisk and gusty winds in this same timeframe
may bring wind chills below zero on the higher mtn ridges.

Settled weather is expected Sunday as dry high pressure builds
across the South. Despite abundant sunshine, the very cold nature
of the airmass will be reflected in max temps 11-13 degrees
below normal.

&&

.LONG TERM /SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY/...
As of 210 PM EST Thursday: the extended fcst picks up at 00Z on
Monday with the broad upper trof lifting NE and over New England
while steep upper ridging persists over the Western CONUS. By early
Tuesday, the long range models re-amplify the upper trof again over
the eastern half of the CONUS bringing more widespread cold air to
the region and keeping temperatures well below normal for most of
the period. By early Wed, the trof axis is expected to be moving
over the fcst area or lifting just NE of it. Beyond this point,
the trof broadens and flattens, but still remains in place over
the entire Eastern CONUS. At the sfc, another progressive low will
surge SE and across the Great Lakes on Monday and bring another cold
front to our doorstep by late Monday/early Tuesday. The front is
expected to move thru the CWFA quickly and be SE of the fcst area
by late Tues/early Wed with high pressure moving back over the area
to end the period.

&&

.AVIATION /00Z FRIDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...
At KCLT and elsewhere: VFR conditions this evening will slowly
deteriorate overnight, with cigs dropping to MVFR and IFR (likewise
for VSBY) as moisture increases from the S. Cannot rule out brief
improvement during the day Friday to MVFR, but generally fairly
solid IFR conditions expected. Precip chances continue to increase
but should remain all liquid for all but KAVL through 00z. Have
introduced PROB30 -RASN for KCLT after 00z Saturday, and will likely
have to do the same for other TAFs with the 06z set. For KAVL,
though the precip will be light, it will most likely be mostly
-SN (with perhaps some -RA mixed in) through the period. SSW winds
this evening will trend lgt/vrb overnight before swinging NE before
sunrise and remain there through the end of the period (except KAVL
where NNW winds will prevail).

Outlook: Restrictions will be likely as well as mixed/wintry precip
through Saturday morning. Precip and associated restrictions will
decrease during the day Saturday, with dry conditions expected at
all sites into early next week. The possible exceptions would be
KAVL/KHKY with potential for northwest flow snow Saturday night.
