Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Greenville-Spartanburg SC
647 PM EST Sun Jan 2 2022

.SYNOPSIS...
A winter storm will impact the region tonight into Monday with
periods of heavy rain and mainly mountain snow along with gusty
winds in its wake. High pressure will be seasonably cold and dry
weather Tuesday into Wednesday with additional active weather
possibly at times Thursday into next weekend.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH MONDAY/...
As of 515 pm EST Sunday: No significant changes to the
forecast. Updated QPF and snow totals for Sunday night/Monday
morning, with not much change warranted. The GFS and HRRR still
appear to be handling the system well, so it's worth keeping a
close eye on their suggestions.

Hazards will run the gamut from snow to severe to heavy rain
to gradient winds over the next 24 hours. The setup includes
a deepening southern stream low pressure system moving toward
the mid/lower MS River Valley this afternoon. The H5 low should
close off over the lower MS River Valley this evening and then
go slightly negative tilt overnight as it crosses GA and moves
over the Savannah River. The associated surface low is expected
to move up the Interstate 85 corridor across our forecast area
through the overnight hours.

One concern will be the potential for severe weather as a 50 kt
850 jet transits the lower piedmont 06Z to 10Z, with a surface low
moving along or near I-85 and uncovering warm sector instability in
the southeast part of the area. The Day 1 Marginal and Slight risk
areas have been adjusted back to northwest accordingly as we should
uncover some 600+ sbCAPE southeast of I-85. The HWO addresses the
possible severe threat, with an isolated tornado mention now added.
Heavy rainfall may also be a concern, with HREF consensus heavy
rain stripes affecting the I-77 corridor region overnight. However,
low stream levels continue to mitigate any flooding potential
somewhat and will hold off on any FFA at present.

Minor adjustments will be made to the Winter Storm Warnings and
Advisories with the high elevation warning expanded down into
Macon and the Advisories expanded across the northern NC foothills.
Uncertainty over accumulations remains very high given the present
very warm profiles, the warm ground, and the speed of the system
overnight through Monday morning. However, the forcing is tremendous
tonight as upper jetlet divergence ahead of the approaching wave
sharpens up quickly this evening. A mid-level deformation zone will
cross the region mainly from 08Z to 12Z and bring locally very heavy
snow rates, at least in the places cold enough for snow. Saturated
geopotential vorticity fields also indicate some thundersnow
could be possible in the heaviest rates late tonight. Amounts
have been boosted to 10 to 12 inches in the highest peaks of the
Smokies. The snow will end as NW upslope snowfall in the TN border
counties Monday, tapering off in the afternoon. Black ice will be
a concern beyond the Warning/Advisory period.

Gradient flow on the back side of the system will warrant a high
winds mention in the WSW product, but will also post a Wind Advisory
in the SC mountains. The wind advisory could need expanding east, as
the HRRR and RAP are trending windier.  Will reconsider this soon.

&&

.SHORT TERM /MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
As of 210 PM EST Sunday: A stout 1035 mb high will build into the
region Monday night supporting clear skies and light winds. These
conditions combined with expected snow cover across much of the
mountains from the Monday storm may lead to some of the cold
overnight lows this season with mainly 10s across the mountains and
20s to the east.

A power jet streak will dive into the Mississippi Valley Tuesday and
trigger the deepening of a broad trough near the Ohio Valley by
Wednesday. Associated cyclogenesis over the Great Lakes will likely
drive a mostly moisture starved weak cold front through the region
late Wednesday with little consequence outside some increased cloud
focused across western areas. Weak return flow behind the departing
high pressure zonal downslope flow with allow temperatures to
moderate to near normal Wednesday.

&&

.LONG TERM /WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY/...
As of 235 PM EST Sunday: Forecast confidence goes out the window
Thursday into next weekend. General troughiness across the region
should support continued near if not below normal temperatures
through the period. A progressive pattern looks to limit moisture
influx into the region ahead of a possible storm later Thursday or
Friday with somewhat deeper moisture possible with another system
next weekend. Thermal profiles would probably support wintry weather
(with freezing rain possibly mixing in when moisture is shallow as
indicated by some guidance) at times focused across the mountains
and northern tier. High pressure will support sunny, dry, and
seasonably cold conditions in between systems.

&&

.AVIATION /00Z MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/...
At KCLT and elsewhere: Most TAF sites are VFR at present, but
such conditions should not persist for much longer.  MVFR CIG
restrictions should build back in within the next hour or two across
the Upstate, with the possibility for some spotty IFR CIGs mixed
in, which have been handled with TEMPOs at KGSP, KGMU, and KAND.
In keeping with the previous round of TAFs, have kept mention of
snow confined to KAVL and KHKY, with KAVL now sporting a prevailing
-SHSN Monday morning, and at KHKY still only a PROB30 for -SHRASN.
Went ahead and dropped snow mention altogether at KCLT, as it
seems increasingly unlikely that anything more than brief, thin
flurries will stretch that far east and south.  TSRA has been added
across all sites except KHKY, with KCLT even gaining a PROB30 for
+TSRA, as some of the short-term guidance shows an increasingly
dire-looking couple of hours after daybreak Monday.  Otherwise,
winds should begin to turn NNEly in the next few hours, and as
they do so, impressive low-level gradient flow should increase
gust potential the second half of Sunday night and well into the
day Monday.  Gusts have been expanded in places, as some guidance
now also depicts gap winds at KGSP and KGMU.  After perhaps 18Z,
the influx of very dry air behind this system should allow rapid
improvement in CIGs and VSBYs and much calmer conditions to prevail
through the end of the TAF period.

Outlook: Dry high pressure remains Monday night through Wednesday.
Another cold front may arrive from the west Wednesday night into
Thursday, but with limited moisture and low confidence on any
restrictions.

This Hazardous Weather Outlook is for piedmont North Carolina.

.DAY ONE...This afternoon and tonight.

Moderate to occasionally heavy rain and perhaps an isolated
thunderstorm or two will develop over the northwest Piedmont tonight.
Additionally, winds are expected to increase and become very gusty
from the north and northeast after midnight, with gusts in the 30 to
40 mph expected. With the ground being wet from recent rainfall in
many areas, trees will likely be more susceptible to falling than
would typically be expected from these wind speeds. Locally
excessive rainfall could result in flash flooding of smaller streams
and urban areas, mainly between midnight and daybreak. Occasional
cloud-to- ground lightning will also be possible.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Monday through Saturday.

Lingering precipitation is expected to mix with, and may change over
to light snow before ending across the northwest Piedmont Monday
morning. Some areas north of I-40 may see a dusting on grassy
surfaces.

This Hazardous Weather Outlook is for northeast Georgia, piedmont
North Carolina, western North Carolina and upstate South Carolina.

.DAY ONE...This afternoon and tonight.

Widespread moderate to heavy rain with embedded isolated to
scattered thunderstorms are expected to develop tonight across
upstate South Carolina, northeast Georgia, and the southern foothills
and Piedmont of North Carolina. A few of these storms could become
severe, especially south and east of I-85. The main severe storm
threat will be from locally damaging wind gusts, but an isolated,
brief tornado or two is also possible. Even outside of thunderstorms,
winds are expected to increase and become very gusty from the north
and northeast after midnight, with gusts in the 30 to 40 mph
expected. With the ground being wet from recent rainfall in many
areas, trees will likely be more susceptible to falling than would
typically be expected from these wind speeds. Finally, locally
heavy- to-excessive rainfall could result in brief flash flooding of
smaller streams and urban areas, especially east of I-77. Cloud-to-
ground lightning can occur with any thunderstorm.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Monday through Saturday.

Hazardous weather is not expected at this time.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...

Spotter activation may be needed. Please relay any information
about observed severe weather to the NWS while following all
local, state, and CDC guidelines.
