Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Greenville-Spartanburg SC
709 PM EST Sat Jan 19 2019

.SYNOPSIS...
A strong low pressure system will move towards the eastern seaboard
tonight, dragging a cold front and plentiful rainfall (snow in the
northeast) across the eastern U.S. A rush of cold air and strong
northerly wind on Sunday will make temperatures feel exceptionally
cold, perhaps some of the coldest this season. The wind will
gradually diminish Sunday night with a clearing sky. Another wet low
pressure system will impact the region on Wednesday and Thursday.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH SUNDAY/...
At 7 pm...area radars show an expansive area of precip gradually
translating eastward across northeast GA and the western Carolinas,
with individual elements moving rapidly northeast. Will make a
few minor adjustments to precip prob based on the radar trend,
but nothing substantial. Still expecting a categorical pop by
late evening everywhere. Thus far, the more linear elements were
moving into GA to the south of metro ATL. This trend will have
to be watched closely over concern that warm sector might try
to sneak up into the lower Piedmont late this evening. However,
so far temps were actually running a bit cooler than expected.

The very strong/deep meridionally-oriented forcing depicted
along surging cold front, combined with very strong (50+ kts)
0-1 km shear, would be a red flag for high shear/low CAPE severe
convective potential IF there was even a modicum of instability
present. However, short term guidance remains insistent in
shunting ribbon of very low sbCAPE south of the forecast area
this evening.  Nevertheless, there will probably be plenty of
interesting convective features within the frontal band that will
need close monitoring late this evening. Also could not rule out
some isolated damaging winds from showers bringing down the 60kt+
momentum air from aloft via plain old convective mixing.

The bulk of the precip should be pushing to our east around
midnight, or shortly thereafter, with total QPF through that time
expected to range from 1 to 2 inches across much of the area, with
the highest totals expected across the high terrain of southwest
NC. Locally higher amounts of 2.5 to 3 inches will be possible,
especially along the southern escarpment of the Blue Ridge. This
could be enough to tip the scales toward some minor flooding
along the usual tributaries of the upper French Broad River,
but this is far from a certainty, and even if it were to occur,
the threat would be too localized to warrant a Flood Watch.

Cold front will begin surging through the area during the pre-dawn
hours, with very strong cold advection on stout northwest flow
overspreading the NC mtns, which will send temps plummeting to and
below freezing in fairly quick fashion. This will likely result
in development of black ice, possibly a "flash freeze" scenario
in some areas. Meanwhile, ingredients will come together for an
accumulating northwest flow snow event Sunday morning, albeit
over a fairly brief (i.e., 6-ish hours) window. While Winter Wx
Advisory-level accumulations are expected to primarily impact the
higher elevations along the TN border, a dusting up to an inch
will also be possible in the lower French Broad Valley as well
as the other valleys near the state line, which combined with the
black ice likelihood should create enough of an impact to warrant
an Advisory for the TN border counties.

Finally, wind will be a major concern within the cold advection
tomorrow, as guidance features a robust gradient (8-9 mb) across
the high terrain, a very potent isallobaric gradient, with a 30
mb gradient in 6-hour pressure change between the Appalachians
and New England, and H8 winds as high as 60 kts in association
with developing mountain wave activity. This usually equates to a
good high wind scenario, and a High Wind Warning will be issued for
zones from Henderson-NC north along the Blue Ridge to Avery-NC and
the high elevations of the northern foothills zones. Otherwise,
Sunday will be a raw day, with max temps forecast to be 10-15
degrees below climo across the Piedmont/foothills, and more like
20 degrees below across the mtns.

&&

.SHORT TERM /SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY/...
As of 255 PM EST Saturday: Though a few lingering snowflakes could
not be entirely ruled out along the TN border Sunday night, latest
guidance continues to support an overall dry, yet cold, forecast
period. With upper troughing pushing eastward through the Carolinas
Sunday night into Monday morning, upper ridging will continue to
propagate into the central plains, allowing for the pressure
gradient over the FA to relax and for gusty NW winds across the
mountains at the start of the forecast period to diminish into
Monday morning. With clearing skies, the main concern will be the
cold temperatures as Arctic high pressure infiltrates into the
region - the coldest temperatures of the season thus far. With NW
winds in place and cold temperatures across the NC mountains (teens
to single digits), expect wind chill values Sunday night into Monday
morning to fall to around -5 F in many mountain locations (ie Wind
Chill Advisory criteria for the mountains, likely to be addressed in
hazard headlines in future fcst packages). Elsewhere across the
Upstate and NW Piedmont, wind chill values will bottom out in the
low to mid teens Monday morning, with low temperatures ranging in
the mid teens to mid 20s.

Though skies will be clear as high pressure moves towards the
Carolinas later in the day, the plenty of sunshine in place won't be
much of any assistance to warm temperatures on Monday with
downsloping flow. Attm, expect areas across the Upstate to break the
40 degree mark, while areas across the NW Piedmont will remain in
the mid to upper 30s, and colder across the mountains. On Tuesday,
quiet conditions continue as high pressure moves overhead and
towards the Carolina coast, though with the return of SW flow, do
expect gradually increasing cloud cover into the later
afternoon/evening hours ahead of the next approaching system. Though
warmer than on Monday, temperatures on Tuesday will remain below
normal.

&&

.LONG TERM /TUESDAY NIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY/...
As of 200 PM EST Saturday: The medium range picks up 00Z Wednesday
as the first hints of upslope precip make an appearance in our
forecast area, supported by a weak wedge of surface high pressure
centered near the Outer Banks. The transient surface high progresses
quickly off the Mid-Atlantic coast By Wednesday night as the main
frontal boundary associated with the low pressure system approaches.
Low-level flow will also become southerly on Wednesday, weakening
the upslope forcing component as the wedge of high pressure
retreats. An upper shortwave will swing through the stout H5 trough
closing in on the eastern CONUS late Wednesday night and Thursday,
however, increasing rainfall rates as a train of secondary weak lows
lifts northeastward from the Gulf and crosses the FA. Timing remains
an important question with this system, as global models differ
considerably and range from having the main front clear the area
early Thursday to lingering through Friday. By Friday night, though,
only high elevation NW flow snow will linger. Instability seems
insignificant at this time, and any ptype concerns (especially at
precip onset and wind down) will be highly dependent on the timing
of the system. The vast majority of the precip will likely fall as
rain if current guidance is correct anyways, and there is plenty of
time to refine and sort out any ptype issues.

Temperatures will be above normal Wednesday and Thursday before a
large upper trough deepens over the eastern CONUS Friday and drops
temperatures to well below normal over the weekend.

&&

.AVIATION /00Z SUNDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/...
At KCLT and elsewhere: KCLT right on the edge of the IFR cloud
deck at issuance time and expect this lower deck to scatter out
in the next hour or so as southerly flow attempts to dislodge the
cooler wedge-like air mass. This improvement might be short-lived,
as MVFR/IFR vis/ceiling moves back in from the west as the main wide
frontal band of precip arrives and moves across the region. Flight
category could vary between VFR and LIFR as this happens. Wind
should come around from the S with occasional gusts. The back edge
of the steadier precip should translate eastward across the region
in the 06Z to 09Z time frame with wind coming around to the SW and
ceiling setting on MVFR. A steady progression will take place with
a sharp cold front crossing the region around daybreak. Thsi should
quickly bring wind around to NW with frequent gusts afterward,
and VFR conditions everywhere but KAVL. As NW flow develops,
there could be an occasional MVFR restriction at KAVL along with
a few snow showers thru the morning hours. That should clear up
gradually thru the afternoon on Sunday.

Outlook: VFR Sunday night, but windy conditions and cold
temperatures will continue into Monday. The next storm system
approaches by mid-week.
