Hail in North Carolina, February 24, 2012

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE GREENVILLE-SPARTANBURG SC
224 PM EST FRI FEB 24 2012

.SYNOPSIS...
A STRONG COLD FRONT WILL MOVE OFFSHORE THIS EVENING. DRY CONTINENTAL
HIGH PRESSURE WILL THEN BUILD OVER THE REGION THIS WEEKEND AND
LINGER THROUGH EARLY NEXT WEEK. A MOIST SOUTHERN STREAM DISTURBANCE
FOLLOWED BY ANOTHER COLD FRONT WILL APPROACH THE AREA BY MID WEEK.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH SATURDAY/...
AS OF 200 PM...SFC OBSERVATIONS INDICATE THAT THE COLD FRONT HAS
MOVED JUST EAST OF THE MOUNTAINS. WILL CONTINUE TO CLEAR FOOTHILL
COUNTIES FROM THE TOR WATCH AS THE FRONTAL ZONE CONVECTION MOVES
EAST. LAPS SFC BASED CAPE VALUES STILL SHOW POCKETS OF 1000 TO 1500
J/KG OVER THE FOOTHILLS AND PIEDMONT. HODOGRAPHS ARE UNIDIRECTIONAL
WITH THE WIND SHEAR...BUT QUITE LONG. THE ERN PIEDMONT WILL THUS
LIKELY SEE THE BEST LINGERING CHANCE OF SEVERE WEATHER THROUGH MID
TO LATE AFTN. IN ADDITION TO THE SEVERE THREAT...STILL ANTICIPATE
WESTERLY WIND GUSTS TO INCREASE SHARPLY WITH FROPA AS MIXING SPIKES
AND A BELT OF 40 TO 45 KT WINDS TOP THE MIXED LAYER 20Z TO 01Z THIS
EVENING. WILL KEEP THE WIND ADVISORY IN PLACE. ADDITIONAL MTN WIND
PRODUCTS MAY BE NEEDED FOR THE OVERNIGHT...BUT THIS CAN BE FINE
TUNED THROUGH THE EVENING HOURS.

OTHERWISE...THE AMPLIFYING UPPER TROUGH UPSTREAM WILL EVOLVE INTO A
BROAD ERN CONUS TROUGH TONIGHT INTO SAT. LOW LEVEL FLOW TURNING NW
THIS EVENING AND OVERNIGHT WILL ALLOW UPSLOPE MOISTURE TO SURGE BACK
INTO THE SRN APPALACHIANS. THE MODELS ARE VERY STINGY WITH ANY QPF
IN THIS NW FLOW...BUT UPSTREAM FROUDE NUMBERS CONFIGURED FOR NW FLOW
SPIKE LATE THIS AFTN THROUGH THIS EVENING...INDICATIVE OF
ACCUMULATING NW FLOW SNOW OVERNIGHT. HAVE UPPED ACCUMS TO AROUND AN
INCH FOR THE HIGHER ELEVATIONS...BUT WOULD NOT BE SURPRISED TO SEE
ACCUMS APPROACH ADVISORY ALONG THE HIGHER RIDGES. WILL JUST MENTION
IN THE HWO FOR NOW.

EXPECT NW FLOW AND STEADY DRYING THROUGH SAT AS HIGH PRES BUILDS IN
AT THE SFC. DEEP MIXING WILL ONCE AGAIN ALLOW GUSTY CONDITIONS TO
DEVELOP AND PERSIST THROUGH THE AFTERNOON. LAKE WIND ADVISORIES
COULD BE NEEDED AT SOME POINT. MAX TEMPS WILL FALL BACK BELOW
NORMAL...LOSING SOME 20 DEGREES OVER HIGH TEMPS OF THE PAST TWO DAYS.

&&

.SHORT TERM /SATURDAY NIGHT THROUGH MONDAY/...
AT 2 PM EST FRIDAY...AN UPPER TROUGH AXIS WILL PROGRESS OFF THE EAST
COAST ON SATURDAY NIGHT. HIGH PRESSURE WILL SETTLE OVER THE SOUTHERN
APPALACHIANS...RESULTING IN NEARLY CLEAR SKIES AND CALM WINDS. AN
UPPER RIDGE WILL MOVE OVER THE EAST ON SUNDAY. A SOUTHERN STREAM
SHORTWAVE WILL MOVE THROUGH THE BASE OF THE UPPER RIDGE SATURDAY
NIGHT...ACROSS THE GULF STATES...REACHING SC ON SUNDAY. ISENTROPIC
UPGLIDE AHEAD OF THIS FEATURE WILL SPREAD LOW CLOUDS NORTH INTO OUR
AREA LATE SUNDAY. THE NAM IS MORE AGGRESSIVE WITH THIS CLOUD
COVER...AND CONSIDERING THE MORE SOUTHERLY MOISTURE OF THE
GFS...POPS WILL NOT BE CARRIED WITH THIS LOW LEVEL LIFT. THE GFS
INCREASES ITS UPGLIDE INTO SUNDAY NIGHT AND MONDAY OVER GA AND SC.
MEANWHILE...A BACK DOOR COLD FRONT WILL DROP SOUTH THROUGH VA.
TEMPERATURES WILL RISE FROM SLIGHTLY BELOW NORMAL ON SUNDAY TO
SLIGHTLY ABOVE NORMAL BY MONDAY.

&&

.LONG TERM /MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY/...
AT 2 PM EST FRIDAY...A MEAN UPPER RIDGE WILL BE OVER THE SOUTHEAST
NEXT WEEK...WITH A MEAN TROUGH OVER THE SOUTHWEST. A CLOSED UPPER
LOW WILL EMERGE FORM THE WESTERN TROUGH ON TUESDAY...MOVING INTO THE
GREAT LAKES ON WEDNESDAY...EASTERN CANADA ON THURSDAY...AND FINALLY
INTO THE ATLANTIC ON FRIDAY. OUR AREA GENERALLY REMAINS IN SW FLOW
ALOFT...THAT BECOME BRIEFLY ZONAL AS THE UPPER LOW PASSES BY TO THE
NORTH.

A BACK DOOR COLD FRONT WILL BECOME STATIONARY OVER OUR AREA ON
TUESDAY...THEN WILL LIFT NORTH OF OUR AREA ON WEDNESDAY AHEAD OF AN
APPROACHING COLD FRONT. ISENTROPIC UPGLIDE OVER THE BACK DOOR FRONT
WILL PRODUCE CLOUDS AND PRECIPITATION. ONCE THIS FRONT LIFT
NORTH...A MOIST AND UNSTABLE WARM SECTOR AIR MASS WILL MOVE
IN...SUPPORTING CONVECTIVE DEVELOPMENT. THE COLD FRONT CROSSES THE
AREA LATE WEDNESDAY...MOVING OFF THE COAST ON THURSDAY...THEN
BECOMING STATIONARY TO OUR SOUTH ON FRIDAY. ALTHOUGH DRYING WILL
FOLLOW THE COLD FRONT ON THURSDAY...ISENTROPIC UPGLIDE SETS UP OVER
THIS BOUNDARY ON FRIDAY....BRINGING CLOUDS BACK FROM THE SOUTH.
CONFIDENCE DECLINE BY FRIDAY AS MODEL SOLUTION DIVERGE...BUT A
SLIGHT CHANCE OF PRECIPITATION WILL BE CARRIED WITH A LIGHT
ACCUMULATIONS. TEMPERATURES ARE EXPECTED TO BE ABOVE NORMAL UNDER
THE INFLUENCE OF THE UPPER RIDGE.

&&

.AVIATION /20Z FRIDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
AT KCLT...TEMPO WINDOW OF TSRA FROM 19Z TO 21Z STILL APPEARS ON
SCHEDULE AS THE PRE FRONTAL CONVECTION APPROACHES FROM THE W. SW
WIND GUSTS HAVE INCREASED AND WILL START TO TURN WESTERLY WITH THE
FRONTAL CONVECTION...THEN BECOME NW THROUGH THE EVENING HOURS. THE
PEAK PERIOD FOR POST FRONTAL GUSTS WILL LIKELY BE 21Z TO 00Z THIS
EVENING. IF GUSTS OF 35 TO 40 KT OR BETTER DEVELOP AS A WESTERLY
CROSS WIND AS EXPECTED...THIS WILL HAVE A SIGNIFICANT IMPACT ON
AVIATION OPERATIONS. EXPECT MAINLY MVFR CIGS AHEAD OF THE FRONT THIS
AFTN...WITH CIGS THEN LIFTING AND SCATTERING THROUGH THE
EVENING...WITH JUST HIGH CLOUDS FOR THE OVERNIGHT HOURS THROUGH SAT
MORNING. GUSTS WILL DIMINISH OVERNIGHT...BUT WITH LOW END GUSTS
RETURNING WITH MIXING LATER SAT MORNING.

ELSEWHERE...THE TSTM THREAT HAS MOVED JUST E OF ALL FOOTHILL SITES
BY HKY THIS AFTERNOON. WILL HANDLE LINGERING MOISTURE ALONG FRONT
WITH MAINLY VCSH AND MVFR CIGS THROUGH LATE AFTN...THEN ALLOW ANY
CIGS TO RECOVER TO VFR THROUGH EARLY EVENING. SW WIND GUSTS WILL
INCREASE AND TURN WESTERLY THROUGH LATE AFTERNOON. PEAK GUSTS OF 35+
KT REMAIN POSSIBLE WITH THE ONSET OF COLD ADVECTION AND PEAK MIXING
VERY LATE THIS AFTERNOON. NW FLOW MOISTURE MAY CONTINUE TO PRODUCE
SOME VFR CIGS AT KAVL IN THE FRENCH BROAD VALLEY OVERNIGHT...BUT
LITTLE IN THE WAY OF ANY HIGH MTN SNOW SHOULD REACH THE AIRFIELD.
WILL KEEP KAVL GUSTS GOING THROUGH THE PERIOD...WHILE ALLOWING A
LULL OVERNIGHT IN THE FOOTHILLS...BUT WITH LOW END GUSTS RETURNING
WITH MIXING LATER SAT MORNING.

OUTLOOK...DRIER HIGH PRES WILL BUILDING INTO THE AREA SAT THROUGH
SUNDAY...WITH GUSTY WINDS LINGERING THROUGH SAT AFTN. LOW LEVEL
MOISTURE WILL SLOWLY RETURN ON MONDAY...BUT WITH AN INCREASING
CHANCE OF RESTRICTIONS TUE INTO WED AHEAD OF THE NEXT COLD FRONT.
