Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Greenville-Spartanburg SC
248 PM EST Thu Mar 2 2023

.SYNOPSIS...
An active cold front approaches the area from the west Friday
morning. There is a potential for severe thunderstorms ahead of this
front, after which dry high pressure will arrive over the weekend
and linger into the first part of next week.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH FRIDAY NIGHT/...
As of 240 PM Thursday: Light precip continues along the NC mountains
and is diminishing in the southern portions of the CWA. A weak
boundary extends west to east to the south of the region. Rain picks
up again by this evening, with a slight lull overnight with possible
scattered showers forming as the warm front starts to lift north.
Overnight temperatures are expected to remain warm and increase
slightly as the warm front lifts northward. Any rain tonight
expected to be concentrated over the northeast GA and Upstate SC,
north of the weak boundary. PoPs have been lowered to chance for the
western and central parts of the area overnight. Guidance has a
swath of mid level forcing weakening after sunset, with rain chances
decreasing as well. There still remains a minimal amount of surface
based instability throughout the night, which should keep
thunderstorm potential low. Persistent cloud cover today will keep
temperatures above normal.

The bigger story for the area is expected to happen tomorrow as a
deepening upper low and negatively tilted trough ejects across the
TN and Ohio Valley. The low and associated strong cold front are
anticipated to cross the CWA Friday afternoon into the evening.
Ahead of the front, a warm front should slowly lift to the north and
settle near or about the I-40 corridor. Southerly surface flow
should allow for a moist boundary layer. Guidance suggests surface
based instability ahead of the front around 500-1000 j/kg, which is
expected to contribute to strong and possibly severe thunderstorms.
Currently, CAMs have 0-1km SRH hovering around 300-500 m2/s2,
however the possibly limiting factor to severe weather is the warm
layer at the mid-levels. This could inhibit some of the severe
potential with dry air entrainment reducing the potential for
stronger updrafts. With this said, latest CAM guidance from the HRRR
does has high STP values across the CWA, especially along the I-85
corridor, which does raise concerns and confidence at the potential
for a semi-discrete mode. Wind will be the primary threat for this
system, but given the environment these storms will have to work
with, we cannot rule out the possibility for tornadoes east of the
Carolina foothills. For the winds associated with the cold front a
Wind Advisory will be in effect from 1pm Friday through 7am Saturday
for the Carolina mountains. Showers and storms should linger through
this forecast period and taper off overnight from west to east.

&&

.SHORT TERM /SATURDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/...
As of 1250 PM EST Thursday...A strong sfc cyclone continues to track
northeast of the area early Fri night as an attendant frontal zone
likely produces showers and thunderstorms across the FA. This
activity will be short-lived, possibly exiting east by midnight with
lowering chances of severe activity. Soundings across the ern zones
show limited to no potential of sfc-based instability aft 00z Fri,
yet stg deep-layered shear could help generate a few cells capable
of producing strong outflows. A southern stream area of high
pressure builds in from the west with little llvl CAA, however,
mixed winds remain quite strong and a tightening p/grad will keep
winds elevated with advisory level gusts possibly reached/maintained
across the higher NC mtn elevations thru mid-morning Sat. Deeply dry
air builds thru the day Sat and persists into Sun with a developing
broad ulvl ridge axis approaching thru the period. Good subs will be
had and LCLs remain quite dry, while any sigfnt Ci is relegated
north. Thus, expect very good early March insol which will allow
temps to remain abt 8-10 degrees abv normal each day. Winds will
also weaken during this time with no new products anticipated. The
flow on the front side of the high will advect in lowering sfc tds
mainly across the NC/SC Piedmont Sun and RH values will probably
drop into the 25-30 percent range, yet winds will be a limiting
factor for much of a notable fire-wx concern.

&&

.LONG TERM /SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY/...
As of 1245 PM Thursday...No major changes were made to the ext range
fcst. The guidance continues to show a stg ulvl ridge dominating the
pattern Mon with a deeply dry airmass maintained over the SE region.
A better chance of fair-wx Cu developing during the afternoon Mon
with Ci crossing the ridge, however, max temps shud have no problem
reaching a few cats abv normal in an unchanged airmass. The upper
pattern becomes more zonal Tue into Wed while an upper s/w supports
a sfc cyclone pushing into the Glakes area. Upper forcing remains
quite weak over the srn states and instability will be low-end ahead
of an approaching weak frontal zone Tue. For now, have kept thunder
mention nil as upper-level cloud cover increases thru the day and
parcel ascent is shunted underneath an h75 inversion. Still expect
rain showers with the front, mainly across the NC mtns and NE GA,
with an unsettled and moist airmass persisting into Wed possibly
instigating more widespread shower activity. Max temps will remain
quite warm Tue with highs in the u70s possible east of the mtns and
arnd 70 F in the mtn valleys. On Wed, expect a cool down behind the
front, yet max temps shud still reach abv normal levels by a few
degrees.

&&

.AVIATION /20Z THURSDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...
At KCLT and elsewhere: For the afternoon period, VFR is expected to
continue through the remainder of the daytime period. Wind will be
mainly SW for all sites. Change will occur this evening, as a warm
front lifts north across the region, causing patchy fog and some
restrictions after midnight. Winds will become more ESE with light
precip developing and CIGS dropping down to MVFR and IFR by the
early morning hours and continuing until mid morning for most sites.
Restrictions should start to improve to MVFR by early afternoon for
all sites except KHKY.

Outlook: Restrictions for Friday ahead of an approaching strong cold
front, which is expected to bring strong to severe storms. Dry and
somewhat cooler high pressure returns for the weekend with VFR
conditions prevailing through Monday.

Please listen to NOAA Weather Radio or go to weather.gov on the
Internet for more information about the following hazards.

   Wind Advisory.

Also, a strong cold front is expected to move into the forecast area
by Friday afternoon. Conditions will be sufficient for development
of scattered strong to severe thunderstorms, which will move quickly
across the forecast area from west to east. Damaging winds appear to
be the primary threat with these thunderstorms, with a secondary
threat of tornadoes, which most likely would be short-lived. The
severe weather threat will taper off Friday evening.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...

Spotter activation may be needed Friday. Please relay any
information about observed severe weather to the National Weather
Service.

Strong, potentially damaging winds are possible on Friday night and
early Saturday morning.  These winds may be strong enough to knock
down a few small trees or power lines, and may cause damage to some
structures.
