Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Greenville-Spartanburg SC
558 PM EST Thu Jan 12 2023

.SYNOPSIS...
A strong cold front will move through the area this evening
bringing rain and thunderstorms. Canadian high pressure will
build in behind the front on Friday and linger through the
weekend. A moist cold front will likely bring more precipitation
to our area on Tuesday, with high pressure briefly returning
on Wednesday.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH FRIDAY NIGHT/...
As of 550 PM EST Thursday: A Tornado Watch remains in effect through
10pm EST for the entire SC Upstate, portions of the NW NC Piedmont,
NC Foothills, and NE Georgia. SPC's meso analysis page shows 30-40
kts of 0-1 km Bulk Shear with 100-250 J/kg of SBCAPE in place across
the CWA. Thus, brief isolated tornadoes cannot be ruled out with
discrete cells tracking ahead of the main line. QLCS tornadoes are
also possible embedded within the line. The line of storms is
currently tracking east across the eastern two-thirds of the CWA.
This line is packing quite a punch bringing heavy downpours,
frequent lighting, and strong to damaging wind gusts. Main changes
needed to the fcst this evening was the increasing of PoPs based on
the latest radar loops.

Otherwise, for tonight, focus shifts to potential wintry impacts in
the mountains. As the cold front sweeps across the forecast area,
winds across the Appalachians will rapidly shift NWly and residual
deep-layer moisture will linger long enough for some snow showers in
the upslope zones along the NC-TN border.  Accumulations look fairly
light for tonight and into tomorrow morning.  However...stout NW
flow appears to continue through the day tomorrow, with an
increasingly convincing Great Lakes connection based on GFS
trajectories.  Ripples of upper vort energy will descend down the
back end of the departing longwave trough axis Friday afternoon and
evening...and the GFS/NAM as well as the RDPS depict 30-60 J/kg
sbCAPE developing over the Balsams and Smokies Friday evening.
This is accompanied by a widespread area of snow squall parameter
values of 1.5-2 across the entire Appalachians and maximized over
the Balsams.  Therefore, with ample low-level moisture likely still
in place Friday evening and overnight, there could be periods
of heavier snowfall where favorable upslope forcing intersects
good instability, and so accumulations have trended slightly
upward at the higher elevations along the NC-TN border counties.
The existing elevation-dependent Winter Weather Advisory / Winter
Storm Warning for those counties has not been modified, and will
still begin at midnight tonight to run through Saturday morning.

&&

.SHORT TERM /SATURDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/...
As of 235 PM Thursday: The short-term forecast picks up at 12z
on Saturday with broad upper trofing centered over the Eastern
Seaboard and steep upper ridging to the west. By early Sunday,
the trof axis will begin to move off the Atlantic Coast and upper
ridging will build in its wake. At the sfc, broad Canadian high
pressure will be spreading over our region from the NW as the
period begins early Saturday. NW flow will eventually weaken
late Saturday as the pressure gradient relaxes and the center
of high pressure drifts further east. Low-lvl moisture, however,
is expected to steadily dwindle early Saturday, and any lingering
NW flow snow showers should taper off Saturday morning, but we
could see a few flurries linger into the early afternoon along
the NC/TN border. Gusty winds will continue across the area thru
the day and eventually taper off Saturday night. The center of
the sfc high will move over our area on Sunday bringing dry wx
and near-normal temperatures.

&&

.LONG TERM /SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY/...
As of 215 PM Thursday: The extended forecast picks up at 00z on
Monday with broad and deep upper trofing moving further off the
Atlantic Coast and upper ridging building over the Southeast in
its wake. On Monday, an embedded, southern-stream upper trof will
lift out of the southern Plains and ride up the ridge. The latest
guidance still has the trof axis passing to our north on Tuesday
and moving offshore by early Wed. As it does, the upper ridge will
amplify over the Southeast again and remain in place into Thurs.
As the period is ending on Thurs, another southern-stream embedded
upper trof will lift out of the SW CONUS and towards our region.

At the sfc, broad Canadian high pressure will be slowly moving
offshore on Monday as another cold front approaches from the west.
The front is still expected to move thru our fcst area on Tuesday
and be east of our CWA by late Tues/early Wed with brief drying
behind the front. A stronger cold front is expected to approach
our fcst area early Thursday as the period is ending. As for the
sensible fcst, no significant changes were needed with dry wx
on Monday and precipitation chances ramping up by early Tuesday.
Thunderstorm potential still appears minimal at best for the fropa
on Tuesday with little (if any) instability present over our area.
PoPs have increased marginally for Wed, but if any precip does
materialize, QPF should be minimal. Otherwise, temps will steadily
warm thru the period with values well-above climatology by mid-
week.

&&

.AVIATION /00Z FRIDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...
At KCLT and elsewhere: It's the calm before the storm this
afternoon.  The western part of the forecast area remains socked
into a weak in situ wedge, resulting in a narrow corridor of IFR
cigs and fog roughly aligned with I-85 south of the NC/SC border.
In general...restrictions are beginning to lift as that residual
wedging begins to scatter out.  West of the forecast area, an
organized line of convection is pushing across the Mississippi
Valley and should impact all the terminals later this afternoon.
High confidence on some embedded TS along with scattered +SHRA
associated with this system.  The Upstate sites in particular are
likely to experience 25-30kt gusts as the line pushes through...and
ahead of the line some isolated areas of southerly LLWS are possible
as a robust low-level jet crosses the area.  Behind the line, a
cold front will sweep across the Carolinas and allow a wind shift
to W/NW overnight.  The ensuing gusty winds will mainly affect
the mountains...with mentionable gusts at KAVL and KHKY overnight.
Can't rule out some isolated areas of fog developing in sheltered
parts of the mountains, but in general winds look to be too strong
to support much fog.  Instead, clouds will slowly scatter out during
the overnight hours (with poor agreement among guidance sources
on how quickly this will occur) and give way to a generally clear
and dry day Friday.

Outlook: Dry high pressure builds in for the weekend, with limited
fog chances each morning in mountain valleys.  The next chance for
active weather and associated restrictions will come late Monday.
