Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Greenville-Spartanburg SC
432 AM EST Wed Nov 14 2018

.SYNOPSIS...
Cool high pressure will set up north of our region today. Another
low pressure will bring widespread rain Wednesday night into early
Thursday. Freezing rain and sleet will develop where temperatures
fall to the freezing point. Cool and dry high pressure moves
over our region for the weekend.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH THURSDAY/...
As of 430 AM: Under confluent upper flow, a strong sfc high is
expanding out of the Midwest and Ohio Valley toward the East
Coast. At the leading edge of this airmass, a cold front extends
across the Southeast. A cutoff upper low is located over the
ArkLaTex region and will move slowly northeast over the next 24
hours. With a weak frontal wave developing to our west, moist
upglide will redevelop over the cold high and lead to another CAD
event setting up by tonight. The forecast is complicated both by
the remarkably deep moisture producing a heavy rain threat, and
by temps being cold enough for some of that rain to change over
to sleet and/or freezing rain early Thursday in parts of the area.

As upper divergence increases today, the pockets of light rain that
have been streaming from the Gulf Coast thru the Carolinas since
yesterday eventually will increase in coverage from S to N. Thick
cloud cover will keep temps generally in the upper 30s over the
mountains and lower to mid 40s in the Piedmont. Rainfall rates
and coverage increase more sharply late in the day through early
Thursday morning as strong isentropic lift develops in advance
of the frontal wave. Winds in this layer are progged to be as
strong as 70 kt, and ideally oriented for upslope lift along
the Blue Ridge Escarpment as well. PWAT values again are fcst
to exceed the 90th percentile of climo. Runoff response from the
heavy rain earlier this week exceeded expectations, and with that
event priming hydrologic conditions ahead of this round, it is
appropriate that we are carrying a Flood Watch. Its extent looks
fine for now. QPF numbers will stick close to WPC values tonight,
with some minor adjustments made to timing.

Temps are expected to fall somewhat rapidly with the onset of
steady precipitation this afternoon and evening. We have the usual
challenge of deciding how far they will fall. Dewpoints will be
on the moist side, which will limit the wet-bulb temps. However,
it still looks likely that temps will be at or below freezing
tonight in a fairly contiguous area along and east of the Blue
Ridge, remaining there until late tomorrow morning. The warm nose
aloft will be a limiting factor for snow or sleet occurring at the
sfc. It is progged to be quite deep, at about 150 mb. Though models
disagree as to how warm temps get in that layer, in most areas
even a model blend would suggest the ice nuclei will melt. Thus
we will feature rain or freezing rain, depending on sfc temp,
except in a portion of the northern mtns where the temps aloft
still support some sleet. With our robust fcst QPF late tonight
and early tomorrow, any of the various methods we use to fcst
ice accretion result in warning-criteria numbers at elevations
above 2500 feet along the Escarpment and in the adjacent ranges
(the Balsams in particular). The northern mountains could result
with a notable amount of sleet, up to around an inch, though that
is of little impact compared to a heavy coat of ice. With a little
sleet possible, and more sleet expected in Blacksburg's CWFA to our
north, we are upgrading the watch to a Winter Storm Warning. This
will be in effect for all of our northern mountain zones, plus the
high elevations of the zones southwest of the Black Mountains. The
lower elevations of those zones, plus the northern foothills
and far NW Piedmont, will receive a Winter Weather Advisory for
lesser ice accumulations mainly causing travel issues. With some
ice possible on the ridges of far northern Greenville County, the
Greenville Mountains zone is included in the advisory. One note:
while the elevation-split headlines are technically in effect for
all areas above 2500 feet in this event, the Smoky Mtn portion
of Haywood County is not expected to see accumulating ice; the
warning was issued specifically to cover the Balsams.

Precip will taper off from SW to NE Thursday morning, and by aftn
temps will warm into the upper 30s in the areas affected by the
ice/sleet. The upper low will be to our west by then and low-level
flow will reorient to westerly along the mountain spine, setting
up for a northwest flow snow event later.

&&

.SHORT TERM /THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY/...
As of 300 AM EST Wednesday: Short term begins Thursday night with
upper low lifting into the Upper OH Valley/central Appalachians, and
precip lifting north as well. At some point early in the period, as
the cold core upper low moves over the region and column winds shift
all W/NWerly, topographic lift combined with increasing lapse rates
will result in a changeover from frozen to freezing precip, with the
event ending as a few hours of NW flow snow in the mountains. Snow
accums look pretty light given the lack of moisture depth in the
column, but a quick 0.5-1.5" certainly possible especially across
the northern mountains and maybe the Smokies. Overnight lows with
the CAA will drop into the 20s across the mountains, near or below
freezing elsewhere. Decent day on Friday with the damming completely
scoured, and high temps rising markedly into the mid 50s in the
Piedmont, still int eh 40s at higher elevations in the mountains.

&&

.LONG TERM /SATURDAY NIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY/...
As of 100 AM EST Wednesday: Quiet and generally dry through the
extended (a welcome change). This weekend looks exceptionally nice
(we'll deserve it for sure), with high pressure in place as a
(mainly) dry front sweeps through the Midwest and OH Valley.
Temperatures both Saturday and Sunday look to be flirting with 60
across the Piedmont, overall just a few degrees below normal, with
nearly full sun on Saturday. As the front approaches Sunday, should
see an increase in upper cloudiness, and guidance is squeezing a
little (slight chance) pops out over the mountains on Monday as the
front moves through. The steering shortwave will dissipate as the
system moves east, and the post-frontal CAA isn't too strong, but
still looking at a couple degree drop in temperatures Monday and
again on Tuesday

&&

.AVIATION /10Z WEDNESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/...
At KCLT and elsewhere: Another challenging fcst this morning. A
cold front will continue to ooze south into SC, bringing brief
low-level drying as high pressure builds in to its north. Bands
of rain will continue across the SC sites and KCLT between now
and dawn, but the rain should shift southward with time with the
front, leaving dry conditions for a while. Generally the rain
is not lowering conditions beyond MVFR, but patches of IFR cigs
are not out of the question especially over KAND. The front will
stall across SC by midday; warm upglide will develop above it,
and another cold-air damming event will take place, dominating the
pattern for the remainder of the TAF period. Thus, while VFR will
prevail early today, deteriorating conditions are expected during
the afternoon, with widespread IFR after sunset. Winds will be N
to NE and somewhat gusty this aftn/tonight.

Outlook: Within a cold wedge of high pressure, flight restrictions
will linger into Thursday. Accumulating ice and sleet may affect
KAVL and KHKY late Wednesday night and Thursday morning, but that
should improve by midday. VFR conditions are expected to return
at the end of the week.
