NWS Greenville-Spartanburg, SC wrote its last area forecast discussion before the first event at Feb 10, 2:30 PM EST, 5 hours 30 minutes earlier.
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE GREENVILLE-SPARTANBURG SC 230 PM EST THU FEB 10 2005 .SHORT TERM (TONIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY NIGHT)... CONCERNS OVER THE TONIGHT PERIOD DOMINATE THE SHORT RANGE OF THE FORECAST. ANOTHER IN A SERIES OF SHORT WAVES IS EXPECTED TO DROP DOWN ACROSS THE FORECAST AREA THIS EVENING. THIS FEATURE SHOULD ENHANCE WHAT LOOKS LIKE AN ALREADY DECENT NW FLOW SNOW MAKING PROCESS ACROSS THE NORTHERN MOUNTAINS. ALTHO IT HAS BEEN RELATIVELY QUIET...SNOW SHOWER ACTIVITY SHOULD PICK UP THROUGH THE REMAINDER OF THE AFTERNOON AND INTO THE EVENING. THE BEST COMBINATION OF 850 WINDS AND MOISTURE REACHING UP INTO THE COLD TEMP RANGE FOR SNOW CRYSTAL GROWTH SHOULD BE CENTERED AROUND 00Z TONIGHT. CONFIDENCE IS FAIRLY HIGH THAT THE HEAVY SNOW WARNING SHOULD WORK OUT. IN FACT...THE MODELS SUGGEST THAT SNOW SHOWER ACTIVITY WILL CONTINUE UNABATED PAST MIDNIGHT AND NOT REALLY WIND DOWN UNTIL CLOSER TO SUNRISE. FOR THAT REASON...THE HEAVY SNOW WARNING WILL BE EXTENDED FOR THE REMAINDER OF THE OVERNIGHT. EXPECT SNOW TO TAPER OFF EARLIER ACROSS THE SMOKIES...SO THE ADVISORY WILL BE KEPT ONLY UNTIL MIDNIGHT. AS FOR HIGH WINDS...NOTHING IN THE LATEST GUIDANCE SUGGESTS THAT WE ARE NOT IN GOOD SHAPE WITH THE WARNING/ADVISORY ARRANGEMENT THAT WE ALREADY HAVE. ONLY CHANGE WILL BE TO EXPAND THE WIND ADVISORY TO THE NORTHERN FOOTHILLS. THE WINDS MIGHT NOT REALLY WIND DOWN UNTIL SOME TIME AFTER SUNRISE FRIDAY MORNING...BUT THAT WILL BE LEFT TO THE MIDNIGHT SHIFT TO HANDLE WITH AN ADVISORY IF THIS TURNS OUT TO BE THE CASE. THE REMAINDER OF THE SHORT TERM IS STRAIGHTFORWARD ENOUGH. A CLIPPER-LIKE SHORT WAVE WILL SWING THROUGH QUICKLY FRIDAY NIGHT. NW FLOW WILL INCREASE AGAIN...BUT MOISTURE WILL BE SHALLOW AND 850MB TEMPS NOT NEARLY AS COLD. FORECAST SOUNDINGS SUGGEST ICE NUCLEI MIGHT NOT BE ACTIVE...SO I WILL KEEP IT DRY FOR NOW. OTHERWISE...THE UPPER TROF WILL PROGRESS OFF THE EAST COAST AND UPPER/SURFACE RIDGING WILL BUILD ACROSS THE REGION SATURDAY. ONLY CHANGES MADE WILL BE MINOR ADJUSTMENTS TOWARD GUIDANCE. && .LONG TERM (SUNDAY THROUGH THURSDAY)... MEDIUM RANGE MODELS ARE IN DECENT AGREEMENT IN MOVING SOUTHERN STREAM SYSTEM AND ASSOCIATED COLD FRONT INTO THE REGION EARLY NEXT WEEK. TIMING DIFFERENCES AMONG THE MODELS ABOUND...WITH THE 00Z ECMWF DEPICTING A FASTER AND MORE PROGRESSIVE SYSTEM THAN THE LATEST GFS. IN FACT...THE GFS STALLS THE FRONTAL BOUNDARY JUST SOUTH OF THE CAROLINAS...AND LINGERS IT THERE THROUGH ABOUT MID-WEEK. FOR NOW... WILL CONTINUE TO ADVERTISE POPS IN THE HIGH CHANCE RANGE FOR SUNDAY NIGHT AND MONDAY...AND LINGER THEM INTO EARLY TUESDAY. THERE DOESNT APPEAR TO BE ANY P-TYPE CONCERNS W/ THIS SYSTEM...AS THERMAL PROGS FROM AVAILABLE MODEL GUIDANCE EACH INDICATE AN ALL-RAIN EVENT. THE FORECAST FOR THE LATTER PART OF NEXT WEEK IS QUITE UNCERTAIN AND WILL DEPEND LARGELY ON THE EVOLUTION OF THE FRONTAL BOUNDARY. WILL MAINTAIN A DRY FORECAST FOR NOW. && .AVIATION... MAINLY A WIND FORECAST FOR THE NEXT 24 HOURS...EXCEPT AT KAVL... WHERE MVFR STRATOCU COULD DEVELOP EARLY THIS EVENING AS SECONDARY VORT MAX ROTATES ACROSS WESTERN NC. THIS WILL ALSO RESULT IN AN ENHANCEMENT OF SNOW SHOWERS...SO HAVE A TEMPO GROUP FOR MVFR VISBY ADVERTISED ALONG WITH -SN AND AN MVFR CEILING. OUTSIDE OF KAVL... WINDS SHOULD CEASE GUSTING SOMETIME THIS EVENING...WHILE MOUNTAIN WAVE CLOUDS SHOULD GRADUALLY DISSIPATE. && .GSP WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... GA...NONE. NC...HEAVY SNOW WARNING FOR NCZ033-048>050 TONIGHT. ...HIGH WIND WARNING FOR NCZ033-048>050-053 TONIGHT. ...SNOW ADVISORY FOR NCZ051-052-058 UNTIL MIDNIGHT. ...WIND ADVISORY FOR NCZ034-051-052-054-055-058-059-062>065 TONIGHT.
