What forecasters said that day

The local office's own words before this wind advisory went out, as it sent them, from the Iowa Environmental Mesonet's archive of National Weather Service text.

NWS Greenville-Spartanburg, SC wrote its last area forecast discussion before this wind advisory went out at Jan 8, 1:12 AM EST, 2 hours 45 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Jan 8, 1:12 AM EST, 2 hours 45 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Greenville-Spartanburg SC
112 AM EST Mon Jan 8 2024

.SYNOPSIS...
A strong low pressure system will arrive on Tuesday, with heavy
rainfall and windy conditions likely across the region. Dry weather
will return Wednesday and Thursday, before the next storm system
arrives for the weekend.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TODAY/...
As of 1242 am EST Monday: IR cloud top temps have warmed slightly
over the past few hours along the TN border of the nrn mountains
and radar has gone quiet, so it would appear the light snow has
finally come to an end. With that, we enter a relative lull that
will last only 18 hours or so until the next system arrives with
a vengeance this evening. In the mean time, the previous shift
employed a Special Weather Statement to discuss the potential
for slippery roads and black ice through daybreak and that seems
prudent given the cold min temps.

Otherwise, the forecast remains on track and no changes were made
to the High Wind Watch this evening pending a look at the latest
incoming 00Z numerical models. Good radiational cooling should
set up overnight as surface high pressure becomes centered over
the central Appalachians and northerly winds drop off with the
relaxing pressure gradient. This will lead to minimum temperatures
within a degree or two or climo at most spots overnight, generally
in the 20s in most locations.

Surface high pressure will migrate from the Appalachians to the Mid-
Atlantic coast on Monday, with upper ridging dominating the eastern
seaboard. Increasing high clouds through the day will be the main
harbinger of the significant storm over the Plains that is headed
east just beyond the near-term period. Expect temperatures near
climatology Monday afternoon, with southeasterly winds over the
mountains beginning to pick up by late day ahead of the approaching
storm system.

&&

.SHORT TERM /TONIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
As of 2:45 PM EST Sunday: The short-term fcst picks up at 00z on
Tuesday with upper ridging spread across the eastern CONUS and an
impressively broad/deep upper trof/low amplifying over TX/OK. This
system will approach our area from the west on Tuesday and push the
upper ridge offshore in the process. The upper trof/low axis will
lift over our area early Wednesday and well to our NE by the end
of the period late Wednesday. At the sfc, transitory high pressure
will be moving NE of our fcst area and off the Atlantic Coast as
the period begins. At the same time, a large/robust sfc low will
eject out of the Southern Plains and move a moist warm front over
our area Tuesday morning. The trailing cold front will push thru
our CWA Tuesday aftn/evening with drier air spreading over the area
from the SW in the front's wake. The center of the low will remain
well to our north and over the Great Lakes on Wednesday, however a
considerable amount of wrap-around moisture is expected to linger
over our western zones thru much of the day. By the end of the
period late Wednesday, drying high pressure will be moving back
over our area from the SW. The Tuesday low pressure system will
have a considerable amount of deeper moisture associated with it
and is expected to produce a considerable amount of QPF across our
fcst area. Thus, the hydro threat is still fairly concerning as
overall QPF remains in the 2 to 4 inch range for most of our CWA
with some locations along the Escarpment likely getting more than
4 inches. The latest day 3 Slight Risk for excessive rainfall from
WPC has changed little as it still appears to capture the risk area
fairly well. Confidence for any convection across our CWA remains
lower, however our SE zones are still under a day 3 Marginal Risk
for severe storms for Tuesday.

&&

.LONG TERM /WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY/...
As of 2:25 PM EST Sunday: The extended fcst picks up at 00z on
Thursday with what's left of a broad upper trof lifting off the
New England Coast. In its wake, relatively zonal upper flow will
settle over our area on Thursday and linger into Friday. By late
Friday, another fairly decent looking southern-stream upper trof
will approach our area from the SW. Most of the latest long-range
guidance has it lifting just north of our area towards the end of
the period on Saturday. At the sfc, drying high pressure will be
spreading back over the SE from the Gulf of Mexico as the period
begins early Thurs. On Fri, another robust sfc low will eject from
TX/OK and move its moist warm front up and over our area by late
Fri. The low is expected to lift well north of the Carolinas on Sat
with drier air spreading back over our area again. It is noteworthy
that the latest 12z ECMWF model is about 12 hrs faster than the GFS
and CMC moving the low northward and clearing any associated precip
out of our area.

&&

.AVIATION /06Z MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/...
At KCLT and elsewhere: Some low cloudiness continues to sneak up
the French Broad Valley to KAVL at this hour, so a bkn ceiling
right around 030 will be a problem for the next hour or two, but
this should scatter out as the moisture dries up before we get
busy again toward daybreak. Otherwise...VFR through sunset. High
clouds will stream overhead and start to thicken late in the day
in advance of the next approaching system. High pressure moving
past will bring the light N wind around to NE this morning and then
almost due east in the afternoon, which is a problem for KCLT. Model
guidance has the next system coming on strong like the last one on
Monday evening. Thus, we expect a quick progression down to MVFR in
the 03Z to 06Z time period, with the arrival of the first precip
wave around that time. Will employ some PROB30s to get us started
and then go prevailing before the end of the period as the steady
precip arrives. At KAVL, a period of wintry mix is likely as the
precipitation starts, but this should change over to rain after
06Z. The KCLT forecast goes out thru 12Z on this cycle, so they
will see the progression all the way down to IFR ceilings and the
arrival of a low level wind shear before daybreak Tuesday.

Outlook: A strong low pressure system will bring heavy rain and
widespread restrictions late Monday night through Tuesday, with
very gusty winds setting up Monday night and lingering through
Tuesday night into Wednesday. Expect widespread low level wind
shear Tuesday morning. Drying occurs late Tue night through Thursday
before another storm system begins to impact the area Friday into
the weekend.
