AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
National Weather Service Morristown TN
253 PM EST Wed Jan 5 2022

.SHORT TERM...(Today through Thursday Night)

Key Messages:

1. Rain/snow mix expected to begin Thursday morning in SE TN and
spread northeastward eventually transitioning to all accumulating
snow. Still uncertainty on the timing of this transition.

2. Very cold temperatures expected overnight Thursday night into
Friday morning

Discussion:

Currently slowly clearing skies as a weak front is moving through
and temperatures should climb up near normal, which will likely melt
off much of the remaining snow on the ground. Overnight with the
clearer skies we could see some patchy fog develop with temperatures
able to drop much lower and dew point depressions decrease.

Main weather impacts will begin on Thursday as a trough swings
through the southern Ohio Valley and a surface low moves through the
northern Gulf States, just south/east of the Appalachian Mountains.

In the Valley...

Reflectivities on radar may begin as early as 09-12z, but at that
same time the mid levels of the atmosphere will be pretty dry. So
the column is going to have to get saturated from the top down
before we really see precipitation at the surface outside of
flurries/drizzle. Model soundings saturate the column at CHA around
15-18z, around 18z at TYS, and around 21z at TRI. This is still one
of the more difficult aspects of the forecast as even just 30
minutes to an hour of lighter (heavier) precipitation will lead to a
slowing down (speeding up) of the onset of precipitation at the
surface. The combination of "when does the column saturate" combined
with "how warm do temperatures get up to during the day" makes for a
tricky forecast in the Valley. Think that it's very likely we'll see
sharp snowfall gradients even within a single county, and especially
counties with a variety of elevations. So overall confidence in
snowfall amounts and timing is lowest in the Valley. High resolution
models have speed up how fast the precipitation exits the region,
especially during the 00-06z timeframe as the shortwave picks up
speed. This quicker exit of precipitation will definitely impact how
much snow accumulates as this 00-06z timeframe is the best for the
ground and atmosphere to create snow accumulations at the surface.
So have lowered snowfall amounts in the southern and central valley
during this time period by a decent amount, and to a lesser degree
amounts have lowered in northeast TN and southwest VA. Precipitation
should exit to the northeast of the Valley by 03-09z.

There is a small window during the transition of snow to rain that
we could see a wintry mix with ice pellets or freezing rain, mainly
in southwest TN. Window for this transition looks to be pretty
short, and hopefully if any does occur the liquid rain that falls
after any frozen rain would melt it away and keep impacts to a
minimum.

Cumberland Plateau and Southwest VA...

Confidence is a bit higher on the Plateau, over into southwest
Virginia as there is a  smaller window for a rain/snow transition.
Due to this expect snowfall totals to be higher as the predominant
precipitation type should be snow. Some places will switch back over
to a rain/snow mix, but higher elevations have the best chance to
see the most snowfall accumulations. The current Winter Storm Watch
will be upgraded to a winter storm warning for the plateau over into
southwest Virginia. Think that locations along the
Virginia/Kentucky/West Virginia borders will possibly see the
heaviest snowfall with the highest elevations possibly seeing 6+
inches over a fairly short period Thursday into Thursday night.

Southern Appalachian Mountains...

Tricky in the mountains due to the extreme elevation differences,
but as usual expect the higher elevations to receive more snowfall
with colder temperatures and a higher snow to liquid ratio. Could
see 6+ inches at the tops of the mountains, transitioning down to
closer to 2-3 inches in the foothills. There is less moisture and
upper level dynamics over the mountains, so they very well may see
less snow than parts of southwest VA.

Friday Morning...

With most of the snow looking like it will come to an end fairly
quickly Thursday night. What you see on the ground when the snow
ends will stay on the ground overnight with temperatures through
Friday morning expected to be the coldest we've seen in over a year.
Low temperatures in the teens, and even in the single digits are
expected, and even with light winds of around 5-10 mph wind chills
will drop into the single digits in most locations, and possibly
below zero in the higher elevations.

ABM

.LONG TERM...(Friday through Wednesday)...

Key Messages:

1. Lingering snow expected to persist on the ground into/through
Saturday morning amidst well below normal temperatures.

2. Dry on Saturday with increasing precipitation chances
Sunday/Monday as the next frontal system passes through.

3. Below normal Tuesday, warming through weeks end.

Discussion:

The long term fcst period kicks off on Friday morning amidst the
passage of a deep longwave H5 trough favoring nw flow across the
region, with cold/dry surface high pressure to settle in.  Won't
rule out a few lingering upslope snow showers across the northern
and highest peaks of southwest VA, but that should taper quickly
into midday Friday, all while temperatures remain below freezing for
most locations north of I40 throughout the day.  South of I40, am
expecting slightly warmer temperatures, generally at or slightly
above freezing.  All that said, most any snowfall will be
reluctant to melt, especially early/mid Friday as sky cover
gradually scatters.  Therefore would expect roadway impacts through
Friday with black ice being a possibility Friday night with any
overnight refreeze.  By Saturday, the deep ridge shifts east with
the surface high over the Carolinas. This will foster clear skies
and returning sly flow favoring max temperatures in the 40s/50s
which will support good melting.

Moving into Sunday, the next upper wave will dive southward
across the northern Rockies and amplify the mean longwave H5 flow
with deepening troughing out west and ridging along the east
coast. With falling heights rapidly approaching early Sunday
morning amidst isentropic ascent in the llvs ahead of Gulf Coastal
low pressure, will favor increasing pops, possibly yielding a
brief period of rain/snow in the northern valley/mountains
(little/no accums) before warm advection fosters all rain. Pops
will remain elevated through Sunday night as the cold front drives
east ahead of the upper trough axis, possibly with a change over
back to rain/snow along/behind the front overnight into Monday
morning as the upper trough axis shifts through, prompting deep
caa. By midday Monday the upper trough and any remnant moisture
will have shifted east of the Appalachians with deep nwly flow to
prevail aloft with temperatures cooling back to near/below normal
through Tuesday. This pattern will prevail into midweek (per
ensemble height fields) with quiet a bit of uncertainty in the
pattern late week.

.AVIATION...
18Z TAF DISCUSSION.

A mixture of VFR/MVFR at CHA/TYS this afternoon as low stratus
lingers, solid VFR at TRI until this evening when a brief window
for MVFR cigs are possible. Otherwise, modest swly flow with low
end gusting possible this afternoon at all terminals before
weakening overnight with solid VFR. On Thursday, a winter storm
will move into the region with rain/snow possible (noted via
prob30) at CHA/TYS in the later hours of the taf cycle amidst
MVFR/IFR cigs. Confidence is high that snowfall accumulations
will be light until after this taf period.

This Hazardous Weather Outlook is for portions of southwest North
Carolina...east Tennessee and southwest Virginia.

.DAY ONE...Today and Tonight

No hazardous weather is expected at this time.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Thursday through Tuesday

Another winter weather system will affect the region Thursday

Highest snowfall totals are expected along the northern
Cumberland Plateau into Southwest Virginia with 3 to 6 inches
possible. The southern Appalachian Mountains could see snowfall
totals of 3 to 6 or more inches, with the heaviest amounts at the
tops of the mountains. In the Valley snowfall totals from a
dusting up to around 4 inches are possible, with lower amounts in
southeast Tennesee, and the higher amounts in northeast Tennessee.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...

Spotter activation is not expected at this time, but any snowfall
reports on Thursday and Friday would be appreciated.
