URGENT - WINTER WEATHER MESSAGE
National Weather Service Greenville-Spartanburg SC
710 PM EST Wed Jan 6 2021

...WINTER STORM EXPECTED TO IMPACT PORTIONS OF THE WESTERN CAROLINAS 
AND NORTHEAST GEORGIA THURSDAY NIGHT INTO FRIDAY...

.A storm system moving from the Deep South through the coastal plain 
of Georgia and South Carolina will spread precipitation into the 
region from late Thursday evening through Friday morning before 
tapering off late Friday. Sufficient cold air will be in place 
for mainly snow to fall across the mountains, with the exception 
of the lowest valleys of extreme southwest North Carolina. While 
precipitation is expected to initially fall as rain across the 
foothills and northwest Piedmont, cooling temperatures will 
support a transition to snow Friday morning, roughly along and 
north of I-40. Heavy snow accumulations will be possible in these
areas before the precipitation tapers off, or changes back to 
rain Friday afternoon. While rain and snow are expected to be the 
main precipitation types, a brief period of sleet or freezing rain
will be possible, especially from the Blue Ridge escarpment 
through the northwest Piedmont, but any sleet or ice accumulations
are expected to be minor.

URGENT - WINTER WEATHER MESSAGE
National Weather Service Greenville-Spartanburg SC
847 AM EST Thu Jan 7 2021

...WINTER STORM EXPECTED TO IMPACT PORTIONS OF THE WESTERN
CAROLINAS AND NORTHEAST GEORGIA TONIGHT INTO FRIDAY...

.A storm system moving from the Deep South through the coastal
plain of Georgia and South Carolina will spread precipitation
into the region from late this evening through Friday morning
before tapering off late Friday. Sufficient cold air will be in
place for mainly snow to fall across the mountains, with the
exception of the lowest valleys of extreme southwest North
Carolina. While precipitation is expected to initially fall as
rain across the foothills and northwest Piedmont, cooling
temperatures will support a transition to snow Friday morning,
roughly along and north of I-40. Heavy snow accumulations will be
possible in these areas before the precipitation tapers off, or
changes back to rain Friday afternoon. While rain and snow are
expected to be the main precipitation types, a brief period of
sleet or freezing rain will be possible, especially from the Blue
Ridge escarpment through the northwest Piedmont, but any sleet or
ice accumulations are expected to be minor.

Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Greenville-Spartanburg SC
1246 PM EST Wed Jan 6 2021

.SYNOPSIS...
Dry high pressure will remain across the area before a moist storm
system arrives from the west late Thursday and passes east on
Friday. Widespread wintry weather will be possible with this system,
particularly over the mountains and foothills. Canadian high
pressure returns to the region over the weekend into Monday.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...
As of 1240 pm: Upper level heights continue to rise today as ridge
axis develops to the west. This will enable stg Canadian hipres and
deep layered drying to move in and persist thru the period. Cirrus
will continue rounding the ridge associated with cyclogenesis over
the srn plains, however, low-level moisture will remain suppressed
south and make for a rather pleasant winter day. Winds will remain
light and temps shud reach near normal levels, while mins drop to
seasonal levels or a little below across the nrn zones due to weak
CAA.

&&

.SHORT TERM /THURSDAY THROUGH FRIDAY NIGHT/...
As of 300 AM Wednesday: The weather topic of the short term will
be detailing the ins and outs of the incoming system that will
enter the area. An open upper trough currently sitting over the
Rockies will nosedive to the south and east as it tracks towards
the lower MS Valley by the start of the forecast period. Model
guidance evolves the trough into an upper low at this point as
it scoots towards the area with a sfc low developing underneath
once the upper low taps into the western portions of the Gulf of
Mexico. Expect this system to ride north of the Gulf Coast as it
approaches the Southeast by late Thursday into Friday. High clouds
will move into the region early Thursday with the clouds deepening
and lowering by Thursday afternoon. Ample moisture advection coming
off the Gulf of Mexico Thursday and the Atlantic once the sfc low
approaches the Southeast coastline by Thursday night/early Friday
will allow for the cwa to become relatively saturated. Thursday will
be fairly cool and dry with PoPs entering the southwestern portions
of the cwa by Thursday afternoon and spreading northeast through the
evening and into the overnight hours. QPF amounts still differ from
run to run per model guidance, but has not changed much overall.
Locations that remain mostly liquid should see QPF amounts of ~0.25"
- 0.50+" for the duration of this event.

The 850 mb low has trended slightly northward over the past
couple of model runs and would likely surge a warm nose into
the region, despite a surge of colder air aloft from the upper low.
Mixed p-types will likely occur at the transition zone and very
light accumulations of ice could be in store at locations that fall
under the zone. As of now, the mountains will have enough cold air
to support a mostly snow event as a broad sfc high sets up shop to
the north and pumps in colder air in the low levels. With a warm
nose being indicated by the NAM and trending that way with global
models, light ice accumulations could reach as far west as the
northern foothills and Escarpment during the first hour or two at
the onset of precip, which would lower overall snow totals. A mix of
rain/snow seems evident between the I-40 and I-85 corridor with the
transition zone likely to settle somewhere between the two
corridors. A shift slightly to the south could bring the transition
zone closer to the I-85 corridor and provide the lower Piedmont and
Upstate of SC a brief period of wintry precip Friday morning, when
temperatures are cold enough at the surface. A few inches of snow is
looking more likely for the higher elevations with some locations
receiving 6+" at the highest peaks. An inch or two is becoming more
apparent north and along the I-40 corridor, a tighter gradient of
snow/ice accumulations between I-40 and I-85, and a possible dusting
can't be ruled out along the I-85 corridor when it's all said and
done by Friday night.

Another factor to consider is determining where the deformation band
develops. Model guidance have hinted at placing the band between I-
40 and I-85, which would produce a few locations with more snow than
what is forecasted, but it is way too early to determine the exact
set up of the deformation band. Areas south of I-85 may see a few
snowflakes mix in, but temperatures from the sfc to ~850 mb will
likely be too warm to support any brief periods of snow, especially
with a warm nose becoming more apparent as the event closes in on
the area. Expect the upper low and sfc to exit the region by Friday
night as dry, NW flow builds in and dries the area out with the
exception of favorable upslope NW flow snow lingering in the
northern mountains and along the TN Border Friday night/early
Saturday. Temperatures will likely remain below normal for a good
portion of the short term.

&&

.LONG TERM /SATURDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...
As of 210 AM EST Wednesday: Pretty good confidence in dry conds over
the weekend and into early Monday. Lingering precip/snow is possible
across the wrn NC mtns early Sat as the upper trof exits the ATL
coast, then deeply dry air moves from the NW thru the afternoon and
evening. The op guidance continues to indicate a reinforcing cP
airmass will build across the region Sun into Mon with the GFS/CMC
showing a suppressive atmos across the entire region. The 00z ECMWF
on the other hand is sticking to it/s guns and develops a moist
coastal low with very good moisture adv into existing cold air
across the FA early Mon into Tue. This idea was given little weight
in the fcst yet have maintained slight chance PoPs with -sn/ra
across most areas if the ECMWF pattern pans out and any moisture
actually reaches the area. Will be one to keep an eye on tho as any
lifting of the cP high in the other op models would allow for
coastal cyclogenesis due to energized PFJ/STJ coupling. With the
Canadian airmass moving in and slowly modifying thru the period, max
and min temps will likely be held a few degrees below normal each
day.

&&

.AVIATION /18Z WEDNESDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...
At KCLT and elsewhere: VFR conditions will prevail through this
forecast period, with only occasional high clouds overspreading the
terminal forecast area. Winds will generally range from N/NW through
N/NE at around 5 kts through the period, although a brief period of
SW winds are expected this afternoon at the Upstate SC terminals.

Outlook: A low pressure system will bring deep moisture to the
region Thursday, with restrictions likely Thursday night thru
Friday. A period of snow is expected across the mountains and
foothills to the I-40 corridor, with mixed precip or mostly rain
elsewhere. Drying is expected over the weekend. Another storm system
may impact the area Monday.

.DAY ONE...Today and tonight.

Hazardous weather is not expected at this time.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Thursday through Tuesday.

A strong low pressure system will cross the area Thursday through
Friday. Cold temperatures across the mountains and the Interstate 40
corridor will likely interact with moisture from this system to
produce accumulating snowfall, especially across the higher mountain
elevations. Uncertainty is fairly high with this system, but there
is the potential for a significant impact from accumulating snow
across the region. Continue to monitor the latest forecasts
over the next couple of days.
