Area forecast discussion, Nov 26, 1:39 AM EST, 2 hours 25 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Greenville-Spartanburg SC 139 AM EST Sat Nov 26 2022 .SYNOPSIS... Dry high pressure will build in from the west tonight and settle over the area on Saturday. A cold front will bring widespread showers to the region late Saturday night through Sunday morning. High pressure returns Monday, then another cold front approaches the region around the middle of next week. && .NEAR TERM /THROUGH TODAY/... As of 115 AM EST Saturday: Winds have settled down across our area over the past few hours with most sites reporting values of 5 kts or less, and a number of sites reporting calm winds. Expect the cirrus to continue to stream over the region from the west thru the overnight and into the morning hours. Temps will take their time cooling and any widespread fog doesn't look likely, except in the more sheltered mountain valleys, especially if winds remain light enough there. Otherwise, dry high pressure will continue to build over the area overnight and into the morning. The high will be transient and will be moving off the Atlantic Coast by the end of the period early Sunday. Cloud cover will increase later tonight and into early Sunday with widespread showers spreading over the CWA from west to east as the period ends early Sunday. High temperatures should be a few degrees warmer across the higher terrain and a few degrees cooler over the lower terrain compared to Friday. && .SHORT TERM /TONIGHT THROUGH MONDAY/... As of 100 AM Saturday...A cold front continues to track east across the FA early Sun. Good forcing will be had, yet thermo profiles still look meager as far as available instability. Soundings show some small measure of shallow elCAPE possible, so the chance for a couple general thunderstorms remains non/zero by the time the front exits east arnd 18z. Strong dynamics will be crossing the area during the afternoon and mixing up to 2.5 Kft will likely tap into a stg llvl jet east of the mtns and develop rather gusty winds. Average momentum transfers noted on GFS profiles near 30 kts so an advisory will not be needed. A weak sfc bndry and upper jet approach the wrn NC mtns overnight into Mon morning. Moisture levels are suspect with this feature, thus precip amts and chances will be kept low-end. Warm temps are on hand Sun after cloudiness decreases in the afternoon with highs reaching abt 5-7 degrees abv normal. A couple degrees cooler on Mon as secondary mlvl wave brings in cooler airmass mixing from the northwest during the afternoon. Mins will remain abt 10 degrees abv normal each morning. && .LONG TERM /MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY/... As of 230 PM Friday...An upper-level trough will dig across the Rockies Tuesday, while ridging builds along the East Coast. The trough will slowly move east Wednesday, bringing an associated cold front into our region. The 12z deterministic models are in decent agreement on the timing of the front, generally Wednesday aftn or evening. The front will have a good tap of Gulf moisture, and should spread a solid frontal band of precip much like the expected Sunday morning front. The upstream sfc high will push east of the area Tuesday, and well off the Mid-Atlantic Coast by Wednesday. So the models are not showing any CAD with this system, and there may be a little more potential for some sbCAPE into the Piedmont ahead of the front. Having said that, the models still keep the sbCAPE south and west of the area. The front will be fairly fast-moving, which should limit any excessive rain/flood threat. Temps will be a few deg above normal Tuesday, with increasing clouds and strong WAA keeping temps elevated Tuesday night thru Wednesday. So it looks like it will be too warm for any wintry precip type concerns with this system. The front should be thru the area by early Thursday, with a little colder air mass building in and bring temps back down to slightly below normal Thursday and Friday. Once again, not expecting much of any overlap of moisture and temps cold enough for snow on the back side of the system. Neither the GFS nor the ECMWF have any NW flow snow. && .AVIATION /07Z SATURDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/... At KCLT and elsewhere: Dry high pressure will continue to build over the area overnight and into the morning. The high will be transient and will be moving offshore by the end of the period early Sunday. Sct cirrus will continue to stream over the region from the west with cloud cover increasing later tonight and into early Sunday. MVFR cigs are fcst to spread over the fcst area from the SW during the last few hours of the 06z taf period, but are not expected to go IFR until just after 06z Sunday. Thus, I have IFR cigs at KCLT beginning around 09z Sunday. Light winds should help prevent radiation fog from developing as clouds thin and cooling continues early this morning. In addition, cold/dry advection should help keep dewpt depressions too large for any substantial fog development. Winds will remain light and favor a NLY to NELY direction thru the morning. They are expected to veer around to SELY by the early afternoon and remain light at around 5 kts for the rest of the day/evening. Outlook: Another low pressure system will bring widespread rain showers and restrictions to our area again beginning late Saturday night and continuing into Sunday afternoon. Dry high pressure will filter in behind the departing system early next week. && .GSP WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... GA...None. NC...None.
