Winter Weather in Georgia, February 4 to 5, 2010

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE GREENVILLE-SPARTANBURG SC
354 PM EST THU FEB 4 2010

.SYNOPSIS...
A LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM WILL MOVE FROM THE GULF COAST ACROSS
GEORGIA...AND CONTINUE NORTHEAST AND OFF THE CAROLINA COAST BY EARLY
SATURDAY. HIGH PRESSURE WILL BUILD INTO THE AREA FOR THE REST OF THE
WEEKEND. THEN ANOTHER LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM WILL APPROACH EARLY NEXT
WEEK.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH FRIDAY/...

UPDATED WWA SECTION.

LIGHT PRECIPITATION IS QUICKLY MOVING INTO THE CWFA THIS
AFTERNOON...A LITTLE FASTER THAN PREVIOUSLY THOUGHT...AND MUCH IN
LINE WITH THE LATEST GFS. SOME REPORTS OF IP/SN HAVE BEEN RECEIVED
FROM NORTHEAST GEORGIA WITH THE INITIAL SURGE OF PRECIP.
HOWEVER... THIS SHOULD NOT LAST TOO LONG...EXCEPT PERHAPS OUTSIDE
OF THE HIGHER TERRAIN.

BY MID-EVENING...PRECIP WILL HAVE OVERSPREAD MOST OF THE AREA. WITH
WET BULB TEMPS WELL BELOW FREEZING ACROSS MOST OF THE AREA...AT
LEAST A TRANSITIONAL PERIOD OF SLEET/SNOW CAN BE EXPECTED IN MOST
AREAS ALONG/NORTH OF I-85. ALTHOUGH COLD AIR DAMMING IS NOT OF A
CLASSICAL NATURE...THE STRENGTH/POSITION OF THE SURFACE HIGH SHOULD
BE SUFFICIENT TO HOLD NEAR-SURFACE TEMPS NEAR/BELOW FREEZING ALONG
THE I-40 CORRIDOR ON THE PIEDMONT...WHILE SOUTHEAST/EAST UPSLOPE
FLOW SHOULD PROVIDE A SUFFICIENT MECHANISM FOR COLD AIR MAINTENANCE
ALONG THE ESCARPMENT. (THIS WILL BE TRUE UNTIL AT LEAST LATE FRIDAY
MORNING...WHEN A PROMINENT WARM NOSE SHOULD PENETRATE FAR INTO THE
CWFA...PRODUCING MORE OF A RAIN/FZRA SCENARIO.) THESE ARE THE AREAS
THAT WILL SEE THE MOST PROLONGED PERIOD OF WINTRY PRECIP...AND THIS
IS WHERE THE WINTER STORM WARNING WILL BE RETAINED...WITH SLIGHT
EXPANSION INTO PORTIONS OF THE SC MTNS AND DAVIE COUNTY NC. ACROSS
THE REMAINDER OF THE WATCH AREA...WINTRY PRECIP SHOULD BE MORE
TRANSITORY IN NATURE...WITH MOST AREAS EXPECTED TO TRANSITION TO
RAIN NO LATER THAN MID-MORNING FRIDAY. ADVISORIES WILL BE CARRIED IN
THOSE AREAS...BUT WILL ALSO BE EXPANDED TO THE HIGHER ELEVATIONS
(I.E. ABOVE 3500 FEET) OF GRAHAM/SWAIN/MACON.

TOTAL SNOWFALL/SLEETFALL ACCUMS OF 3-6 INCHES APPEAR LIKELY THROUGH
LATE FRIDAY MORNING ACROSS THE NRN MTNS...WITH 2-4 INCHES POSSIBLE
ACROSS THE REMAINDER OF THE WARNING AREA. PRECIP WILL THEN QUICKLY
TRANSITION TO FZRA ACROSS MOST OF THE WARNING AREA BY NOON
FRIDAY...WITH DAMAGING ACCUMS OF ICE ANTICIPATED ON TOP OF THE
SLEET/SNOW. IN FACT...AREAS ALONG THE SOUTHEAST ESCARPMENT
(HENDERSON/BUNCOMBE/GREENVILLE MTNS)...WHERE FZRA SHOULD BE OF
LONGER DURATION...COULD SEE AS MUCH AS A HALF INCH OF ICE BY FRIDAY
EVENING. EXPECTATIONS ARE FOR 1-2 INCHES OF SNOW AND/OR A TENTH OF
AN INCH OF ICE WITHIN THE ADVISORY.

THE OTHER CONCERN WILL BE FOR HEAVY RAINFALL...WITH 2-2.5 INCHES OF
RAINFALL EXPECTED FOR MUCH OF THE SOUTHERN HALF OF THE CWFA.
CONSIDERING VERY FAVORABLE ANTECEDENT CONDITIONS...A FLOOD WATCH
WILL BE NECESSARY FOR THESE AREAS FOR TONIGHT INTO TOMORROW.

&&

.SHORT TERM /FRIDAY NIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY/...
AS OF 245 PM THURSDAY...WE PICK UP THE SHORT RANGE PART OF THE
FORECAST WITH THE RAPIDLY DEEPENING SURFACE LOW MOVING ALONG THE
CAROLINA COAST AND THE UPPER SYSTEM STILL TO OUR WEST. SO...FOR THE
FRIDAY EVENING HOURS...WE WILL STILL BE DEALING WITH THE AFFECTS OF
THE WINTER STORM...AT LEAST NEAR THE BLUE RIDGE AND OVER THE NRN
FOOTHILLS. PARTIAL THICKNESS SUGGESTS THAT WE SHOULD STILL HAVE A
FREEZING RAIN THREAT WITH SOME LOCATIONS OVER THE AFOREMENTIONED
AREA...WHICH IS BORNE OUT BY FORECAST SOUNDINGS AND POCKETS OF
SURFACE TEMPS EXPECTED TO NOT REACH FREEZING. FORTUNATELY...THE
HEAVIER AND STEADIER PRECIP SHOULD BE EXITING...AND THE WARNING
ALREADY COVERS THE AREA MOST AT RISK THROUGH SUNRISE SATURDAY. AFTER
MIDNIGHT...THE COLDER AIR SHOULD RUSH IN BEHIND THE SURFACE LOW...
AND PRECIP TYPES WILL QUICKLY TRANSITION TO SNOW OR RAIN.

THE UPPER TROF OR LOW WILL CROSS THE REGION SATURDAY MORNING IF THE
CONSENSUS OF THE MODELS IS CORRECT. THERE WILL BE SOME UPPER SUPPORT
FOR DEVELOPING SNOW/RAIN SHOWERS EAST OF THE MOUNTAINS IN THE
MORNING...SO A GOOD BIT OF THE FOOTHILLS AND PIEDMONT GETS A CHANCE.
POP WAS LIMITED TO SLIGHT CHANCE ACROSS THE WRN UPSTATE AND NE
GEORGIA WHERE DOWNSLOPE WILL BE MOST UNFAVORABLE. TEMPS WERE BLENDED
DOWNWARD FROM MODEL CONSENSUS BUT THIS MIGHT BE A FEW DEGREES TOO
WARM IN THE MIDDLE. OTHERWISE...THE TRANSITION TO A NW FLOW SNOW
EVENT SHOULD BE COMPLETE FOR AREAS ALONG THE TN BORDER. NOTE THIS
WILL REQUIRE THE ISSUANCE OF AT LEAST AN ADVISORY AS POTENTIAL LOOKS
DECENT FOR AN ACCUM OF 2-3 INCHES. A WATCH COULD BE CONTEMPLATED BY
THE NEXT SHIFT OR PERHAPS TOMORROW...BUT THAT MIGHT REALLY
COMPLICATE MATTERS. SUFFICE TO SAY MORE SNOW SHOULD BE EXPECTED THIS
WEEKEND ALONG THE TN BORDER.

THE NW FLOW SNOW SHOULD CONTINUE INTO SATURDAY NIGHT AS COLD AIR
CONTINUES TO SPILL DOWN. HIGH PRESSURE WILL BUILD IN FROM THE NW ON
SUNDAY AND THE MOISTURE SHOULD PULL OUT BY THEN...SO EXPECT SOME
CLEARING WITH TEMPS ABOUT TEN DEGREES BELOW CLIMO.

&&

.LONG TERM /SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY/...
AS OF 250 PM THURSDAY...MDLS COMING INTO BETTER AGREEMENT REGARDING
THE SRN STREAM SYSTEM AFFECTING THE AREA DURING THE MIDDLE OF NEXT
WEEK. SPLIT FLOW STARTS OUT OVER THE CENTRAL US...THEN A SRN STREAM
SHORT WAVE MOVES ACROSS THE AREA DURING THE TUESDAY TIME FRAME.
THERE IS SOME PHASING WITH THE POLAR VORTEX OVER THE NRN PLAINS
WHICH PULLS IT DOWN TO THE OH VALLEY OR GREAT LAKES BY THE END OF
THE PERIOD. AT THE SFC...HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS SOUTH INTO THE AREA
MONDAY AS A GULF LOW DEVELOPS IN RESPONSE TO THE SRN STREAM SHORT
WAVE AND MOVES TOWARD THE AREA. THE TIMING DIFFERENCES ARE MUCH
SMALLER THAN YESTERDAY WITH THE NEW 12Z ECMWF ONLY ABOUT 6 HRS
SLOWER WITH THE MILLER B LOW MOVING ACROSS THE SOUTHEAST.
THEREFORE...HAVE TAKEN A MIDDLE OF THE ROAD APPROACH WITH POPS.
SPREAD CHC POP ACROSS THE AREA MON NITE AND CONTINUING TUESDAY AND
TUE EVENING. PRECIP SHOULD END OUTSIDE OF THE MTNS AFTER MIDNIGHT.
FCST THICKNESSES AND SOUNDINGS SHOW COLD LOW LEVEL TEMPS IN THE
DEVELOPING CAD REGION WITH WARM NOSE DEVELOPING AND STRENGTHENING
THRU THE PERIOD. THEREFORE...EXPECT RAIN SNOW AT ONSET...CHANGING TO
SNOW...FREEZING RAIN OR RAIN LATE MONDAY NITE/TUE MORN...THEN TO
MOSTLY RAIN TUE AFTERNOON. PRECIP CHANGES BACK TO RAIN OR SNOW TUE
NITE AS LOW TO MID LEVEL TEMPS FALL BEHIND THE LOW. RIGHT NOW...I
HAVE ADVISORY LEVEL SNOW AND/OR ICE DURING THIS PERIOD...BUT A LOT
CAN CHANGE BETWEEN NOW AND THEN. AFTER THE LOW PULLS OUT WED...NW
FLOW SNOW SETS UP OVER THE NC MTNS. THIS COULD LINGER THRU THU AS
LOW LEVEL MOISTURE REMAINS HIGH...DRY ELSEWHERE. HIGHS BELOW NORMAL
THRU THE PERIOD. LOWS BELOW NORMAL SUN NITE...RISE TO NEAR NORMAL
MON AND TUE NITES...THEN BACK BELOW NORMAL FOR THE END OF THE
PERIOD. DEPENDING ON HOW FAR SOUTH THE POLAR VORTEX DROPS...TEMPS
COULD FALL WELL BELOW NORMAL. THE 12Z GEFS MEAN H85 TEMPS DROP TO
AROUND 2 STANDARD DEVIATIONS BELOW NORMAL DURING THAT TIME.

&&

.AVIATION /21Z THURSDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...
AT KCLT AND ELSEWHERE...LOW VFR/HIGH MVFR CIGS MAY SCATTER OUT/LIFT
LATER THIS AFTERNOON...BUT ONLY FOR A SHORT WHILE. INCREASING LOW
LEVEL LIFT THIS EVENING WILL RESULT IN EXPANSION OF MVFR
CIGS...WHICH WILL EVENTUALLY BECOME IFR CIGS LATER TONIGHT. LIGHT
PRECIPITATION...MAINLY A RAIN/SLEET MIX WILL BEGIN LATE THIS
AFTERNOON ACROSS THE WEST (EARLY EVENING AT KCLT)...GRADUALLY
REDUCING VISBY DURING THE EVENING AND OVERNIGHT HOURS.

AS FAR AS P-TYPE...A MIXED BAG IS EXPECTED AT KHKY/KAVL...LIKELY
STARTING AS A RA/SN/SLEET MIX...BEFORE BECOMING PREDOMINANTLY SNOW
AFTER MIDNIGHT...THEN TRANSITIONING TO FREEZING RAIN FRIDAY MORNING.
ELSEWHERE...PERIODS OF A RAIN/SLEET MIX MAY OCCASIONALLY TRANSITION
TO ALL SLEET (ESP AT KCLT)...BUT MOSTLY RAIN IS EXPECTED THROUGH THE
PERIOD. PRECIPITATION MAY BECOME HEAVY AT TIMES...ESP VERY LATE
TONIGHT AND INTO THE DAY FRIDAY.

OUTLOOK...EXPECTING WINTRY MIX TO CONTINUE FRI WITH CIG/VSBY
RESTRICTIONS LIKELY THRU SAT. HI PRES REBUILDS FOR THE FIRST PART OF
NEXT WEEK.
