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 9, 4:07 AM EST, 56 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Jan 9, 4:07 AM EST, 56 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Greenville-Spartanburg SC
407 AM EST Tue Jan 9 2024

.SYNOPSIS...
A strong low pressure system will impact the area through this
evening, with heavy rainfall and very windy conditions expected
across the region. A few strong the severe thunderstorms may develop
this afternoon in locations outside of the mountains. Dry weather
will return Wednesday and Thursday, before the next storm system
arrives Friday into Saturday with possibly another round of heavy
rain, gusty winds, and strong storms.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...
As of 355 am EST Tuesday: Our event is well underway at this
early hour, with precip spreading over nearly the entire forecast
area. The table has been set for a busy day. We have a number of
problems to discuss, so let's get right to it.

The best precip rates have been over the southerly upslope areas of
northeast GA/western Upstate SC/southern mtns of NC, more or less
where we expected early in the event, with amounts starting to add
up to 0.5 to 1 inch. This was soaking down the area and priming
it for problems later on this morning when even heavier rain seen
upstream over AL gets here after sunrise. The latest QPF from
WPC has come down just a bit, as have the 6hr prob matched mean
precip on the 00Z run of the HREF, but what remains is still more
than adequate to support keeping the Flood Watch intact. We could
contemplate putting Graham and Swain in there as well, but at this
point it is probably academic. The lower Piedmont of SC/Lakelands
remains out of the Watch, but that still looks ok. No changes to
the Flood Watch.

As for the Winter Weather Advisory, we have been keeping tabs on
sfc temps across the Advisory area and seeing the gradual warming
we expected. The upper French Broad Valley looks like it should
be in the clear with temps above 32F in all but a few isolated
spots. AVL is 35/33. We will cancel the Winter Weather Advisory from
Buncombe/Henderson westward in short order. The rest of it will
remain in effect. Still seeing several weather stations with sfc
temps 30-32F near the Blue Ridge Escarpment north of I-40 and the
last observation at Boone was 30/30. Expect the temp to eventually
warm above 32F over the rest of the Advisory area, but not before
we get more ice accumulating on some trees and power lines. The
higher rates might keep us from reaching Warning criteria over
the nrn mountains/nrn foothills, and that is a good thing.

As for the Wind situation, it has been somewhat underwhelming
thus far as the strongest winds have been riding up over the very
shallow stable layer across the mtns. However, the higher peaks
are gradually encountering the stronger winds and the gusts have
been creeping upward. Think we are still on track early this
morning. Guidance suggests we will start to mix deeply enough
over the lower Piedmont starting around 15Z to bring frequent wind
gusts of 40-45kt or so down to the ground. The wind gust potential
should then spreading northward thru the rest of the morning and
into the afternoon as we uncover more of the fcst area. Guidance
suggest the winds will persist into tonight. More on that later.

The other primary concern is the severe thunderstorm potential. Only
minor changes were made to the new Day1 Outlook from SPC and that
seems reasonable. Clearly the potential looks better to our S and E
this afternoon and evening, but we still have a good shot at severe
storms. The synoptic scale models bring a plume of low sfc-based
CAPE of 300-500 J/kg across the area along/SE of I-85 from late
morning thru late afternoon ahead of the sfc front, to go along
with what looks like very strong shear. The pattern resembles many
high shear/low CAPE severe weather episodes we have seen over the
years, with a dry punch coming in behind a very strongly forced sfc
boundary. The CAMs in the 00Z HREF do not disappoint, with most
showing some updraft helicity streaks over the area from AND to
GSP to HKY and points east...basically where the plume of weak CAPE
would reach. This checks just about all the boxes for a severe wind
producing squall line across that area, with occasional brief/weak
tornadoes where the line breaks or where embedded meso-vortices
persist. Such brief tornadic circulations are notoriously difficult
to warn with much lead time. Expect part of the area will end up in
some sort of SVR/TOR Watch at some point this afternoon, so be on
the lookout for that. The severe weather threat/additional flooding
threat will end from the west with the passage of the main front.

Tonight, with the front to the east, colder air will move in that
should change any remaining precip over the mtns over to snow
showers thru the mid/late evening. The flow looks unconventional
as it veers from SW to W overnight, but there is enough moisture
that is deep enough into the dendritic growth zone such that
snow showers are a good bet. The westerly flow favors parts of
the Smokies, in particular western Graham County. We may need
to consider a small Winter Weather Advisory depending on how the
forecast trend goes today.

Wind will continue to be a problem tonight, particularly over
the mtns as the cold advection flow takes hold. Guidance has
strong wind gusts persisting through Wednesday morning, so a Wind
Advisory will be issued/extended across the higher terrain through
18Z Wednesday. East of the mtns, it will also be blustery, but
not to the extent that an Advisory is warranted, but this could
also change.

&&

.SHORT TERM /WEDNESDAY THROUGH THURSDAY NIGHT/...
As of 200 AM EST Tuesday: The axis of the closed upper low will be
east of the CFWA by daybreak Wednesday as the better associated
forcing and moisture pulls away. Low-level west-northwest CAA
will continue to filter into the region, but shallow moisture
levels will quickly dry up and essentially shut off any ongoing
snow showers along the NC/TN border by Wednesday afternoon. Some
low-end gusty winds are expected during the day Wednesday as the
surface pressure gradient gradually loosens and continuous CAA
spills into the region. Otherwise, much drier conditions will be
in store through the rest of the forecast period as the flow aloft
remains progressive as the southern stream jet remains active. Weak
high pressure will be in control through Thursday night as heights
gradually rise and the airmass modifies ahead of the next system
that will impact the area most of the day Friday. Temperatures
will be near-normal Wednesday as a downslope component will help
offset CAA outside of the mountains. Decent radiational cooling
conditions will support slightly below normal temperatures Wednesday
night. Warmer thicknesses and a ongoing downslope component allows
temperatures to rise a few ticks above normal for highs Thursday
afternoon. Weak wedge-configuration settling in with high pressure
slipping east off the southern/central Appalachians and increasing
cloud cover overnight Thursday will help keep low temperatures
slightly above to near-normal.

&&

.LONG TERM /FRIDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...
As of 330 AM EST Tuesday: Model consensus continue be in better
agreement with the overall pattern and setup in regards to the next
system expected Friday into Saturday. Digging upper shortwave trough
will be centered over the southern/central Plains Friday morning as
the center track of the storm system will deepen as it progresses
from the lower/mid MS Valley through the OH Valley/Lower Great Lakes
region, while undergoing surface cyclogenesis. Weak in-situ wedge
will be in place Friday morning and antecedent cool and dry air will
support a brief period of mixed wintry p-types across the normal
locations along the Blue Ridge Escarpment and higher elevations
at the onset Friday morning before the associated WAA turns the
precip to all liquid. The system is more progressive compared to
today's system, but there are a good bit of similarities between
today's system and this one. The rainfall amounts will not be as
potent with this system, but gusty winds will become a concern
as the wind energy will be stout. Latest model guidance hold
on to the wedge across the area as the main frontal zone pushes
through the area on Friday, which could lower the potential for
severe weather. Guidance still suggest that the warm sector will
help to erode the wedge and allow for an unstable environment to
slowly develop. The kinematic field won't be an issue in regards
to severe weather, but the question per usual during this time of
the year is how much surface instability can we muster up ahead of
the organized convection. With that being said, SPC has issued a
15% slight risk area across the CFWA in locations outside of the
mountains for Friday afternoon/evening. Hydro issues will likely
arise due to the previous rainfall and the already saturated soils
still lingering from the early week storm threat.

Otherwise, this system will lift out of the area just in time for
the weekend as much drier air spills over the region, outside of
some scattered snow showers along the NC/TN border on Saturday. We
will likely remain under broad upper troughiness with weak high
pressure in control through the end of the forecast period. An
interesting set up is showing up in guidance by D7, but still a
lot more questions than answers this far out before going into
the nitty gritty details as differences between model guidance
suggests they don't know what the heck is going to happen with
the sensible weather beyond this upcoming weekend. Temperatures
are expected to begin the period at or slightly above normal on
Friday before below-normal values settle in through the rest of
the medium range following Friday's system.

&&

.AVIATION /09Z TUESDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/...
At KCLT and elsewhere: Already an MVFR ceiling restriction in place
with light/moderate precip spreading rapidly northeast across the
fcst area at issuance time, and conditions will only deteriorate
from there while wind picks up from the east. The precip will bring
the ceiling down to IFR across the region by 08Z-09Z, around which
time we expect the gusty winds to begin. The rest of the morning
will be characterized by widespread IFR ceiling/vis with patches of
LIFR as heavier showers move through. An intense low level jet will
translate overhead during this time with very strong SE winds only a
few thousand feet off the surface, which will result in LLWS at all
terminals. A strong cold front will cross the region in the late
afternoon to bring an end to the precip and the IFR restrictions
for the most part, while the core of the strong low level winds
departs and ends the LLWS. Sfc winds will only veer slightly to SW
with fropa. Additional details will be amended in over the next few
hours, including a better estimate of the thunderstorm potential.

Outlook: Flight category should improve Tuesday evening with the
departing system. Drying is expected Wednesday through Thursday
with VFR conditions, then another storm system begins to impact
the area Friday into the weekend with more widespread restrictions.
