Winter Weather in Georgia, February 11, 2014

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE GREENVILLE-SPARTANBURG SC
1039 PM EST MON FEB 10 2014

.SYNOPSIS...
MOIST HIGH PRESSURE WILL CONTINUE TO WEAKEN AND SHIFT EAST
TONIGHT...BEFORE A WINTRY PATTERN MOVES IN AND REMAINS ACROSS THE
AREA THROUGH EARLY THURSDAY. DRY HIGH PRESSURE WILL BUILD BACK OVER
THE REGION LATE THURSDAY AND LINGER INTO THE WEEKEND...WITH WEAK
COLD FRONTS PASSING THROUGH THE AREA ON FRIDAY AND SUNDAY.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TUESDAY/...
AS OF 1035 PM EST MONDAY...LATEST RADAR IMAGERY CONTINUES TO
INDICATE DEPARTURE OF EARLIER SHOWER ACTIVITY ALONG THE I85 ACROSS
THE NC/SC PIEDMONT.  TEMPERATURES ACROSS THE REGION ARE HOLDING
STEADY AMONGST MOSTLY CLOUDY SKIES WITH LOWER TO MID 30S PREVAILING
ACROSS THE FOOTHILLS/PIEDMONT WITH SLIGHTLY WARMER TEMPERATURES BEING
OBSERVED ACROSS PORTIONS OF THE WESTERN UPSTATE INTO NORTHEAST GA.
WITH THAT SAID...STILL EXPECTING TEMPERATURES TO COOL ENOUGH
DIURNALLY ALONG THE I40 CORRIDOR IN WESTERN NC TO ALLOW FOR PATCHY
BLACK ICE ON ROADWAYS DUE TO EARLIER SHOWERS.  THEREFORE ISSUED
SPS THROUGH 10AM TO ACCOUNT.  DID TWEAK POPS AND QPF SLIGHTLY TO
INCLUDED LATEST NAM GUIDANCE...HOWEVER THIS DID NOT PROMOTE ANY
SIGNIFICANT CHANGES IN THE FORECAST.

PREVIOUS DISCUSSION...

AS OF 3 PM...THE LATEST SFC ANALYSIS INDICATED A WEAK SFC WAVE
ACROSS THE MIDLANDS OF SC. THE ASSOCIATED COLD FRONT WAS RUNNING
FROM THE GRAND STRAND TO MIDDLE SC...THEN SW ACROSS CENTRAL GA. THE
RECENT RADAR COMPOSITE ACROSS THE REGION INDICATED A BAND OF LIGHT
TO MODERATE PRECIP ACROSS THE NC MTNS...EAST TO THE I-77 CORRIDOR.
DUAL POL CONTINUE TO INDICATE THAT THE MELTING LAYER WAS BETWEEN
2800-3000 FT AGL. HOWEVER...PRECIP RATES HAS RESULTED IN SNOW
REACHING THE GROUND ACROSS THE CENTRAL AND NRN NC MTNS. IF
FACT...SPOTTER AND SOCIAL MEDIA REPORTS INDICATE THAT BETWEEN 1 TO 2
WITH ISO 3 INCHES HAS ACCUMULATED ACROSS THE REGION FROM NRN JACKSON
AND HAYWOOD...NE ACROSS THE NRN MTNS. THIS BAND APPEARS LARGELY
FORCED BY H3 JET DIVERGENCE. THE GFS INDICATES THAT THE REGION OF
DIVERGENCE WILL DISSIPATE EARLY THIS EVENING. I WILL HIGHLIGHT THE
MTN AREA WITH A WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY THROUGH 7 PM.

TONIGHT...BROAD HIGH PRESSURE WILL GRADUALLY BUILD ACROSS
SOUTH...ALONG THE EAST FACING SLOPES OF THE SOUTHERN APPALACHIANS.
THE DEPTH OF THE MOISTURE MAY DECREASE DURING THE PRE DAWN ACROSS
THE I-40 CORRIDOR...WITH LITTLE CHANGES SOUTH OF THE SC/NC LINE.
MODELS REMAIN DIVIDED...NAM KEEP MEASURABLE PRECIP SOUTH...WITH THE
GFS GENERATING QPF ACROSS THE ENTIRE CWA. THE ECMWF APPEARS TO BE
THE COMPROMISE...WITH THE CORRIDOR OF GREATEST PRECIP SOUTH OF I-85.
I WILL FADE POPS TO SCHC DURING THE LATE NIGHT HOURS. HOWEVER...POPS
WILL INCREASE FROM SOUTH THE NORTH AS WEAK 295K ISENTROPIC LIFT
BEGINS TO SLIDE NORTHWARD DURING THE EARLY MORNING HOURS. MIN
TEMPERATURES MAY RANGE FROM THE U20S ACROSS THE NC ZONES WITH LOW TO
MID 30S ACROSS SC/GA. BY SUNRISE...AREAS AT OR BELOW FREEZING COULD
SEE A DUSTING TO .2 OF AN INCH OF SNOW.

TUESDAY...THE GFS INDICATES THAT A CLIPPER-LIKE MID LEVEL S/W WILL
RIPPLE ACROSS THE SOUTHERN APPALACHIANS DURING THE MID DAY. THE LOW
ISENTROPIC LIFT WILL GRADUALLY INCREASE ACROSS THE GA/SC ZONES
DURING THE DAY...REMAIN VERY WEAK NORTH. IN ADDITION...ANOTHER ROUND
OF JET DIVERGENCE IS EXPECTED DURING THE MORNING. I WILL INCREASE
POPS TO NEAR 100 PERCENT SOUTH OF THE SC/NC LINE...FADING TO AROUND
40 PERCENT NORTH OF I-40. USING NATIONAL QPF GUIDANCE AND 10 TO 1
SNOW RATIOS...AREAS ACROSS THE LAKELANDS COULD SEE AROUND TWO INCHES
OF SNOW...WITH ONE INCH EXPECTED ALONG AND EAST OF THE I-85
CORRIDOR. THIS FIRST ROUND OF SNOW WILL BE HIGHLIGHTED WITH A
ADVISORY.

&&

.SHORT TERM /TUESDAY NIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY/...
AS OF 410 PM...CONFIDENCE INCREASING ON A SIGNIFICANT WINTER STORM
DEVELOPING ACROSS THE CWFA TUESDAY NIGHT INTO THURSDAY MORNING.
STILL EXPECT A LULL IN PRECIP TUESDAY EVENING AS THE INITIAL FORCING
MOVES EAST OF THE AREA. HOWEVER...PRECIP SHOULD RETURN FROM SW TO NE
ACROSS THE AREA LATE TUE NITE INTO WED MORNING AS DEEP MOISTURE
RETURNS AND STRONG PHASED NRN STREAM AND SRN STREAM SHORTWAVE MOVES
TOWARD THE AREA. ISENTROPIC LIFT...Q-VECTOR CONVERGENCE AND UPPER
DIVERGENCE FROM THE RIGHT ENTRANCE REGION OF AN UPPER JET ALL
COMBINE TO BRING THE PRECIP BACK INTO THE AREA. COLD HIGH PRESSURE
BUILDS IN FROM THE NORTH DURING THIS TIME AS WELL. THE MILLER-A LOW
PRESSURE CENTER DEVELOPS ALONG THE GULF COAST TUE NITE...SLIDES EAST
WED...THEN MOVES UP THE EAST COAST WED NITE KEEPING A MOIST LOW
LEVEL SLY FLOW OVER THE AREA AND OVER THE COLD DOME.

ALTHOUGH THERE ARE SOME DIFFERENCES IN FCST SOUNDINGS AND PARTIAL
THICKNESS PATTERNS...THERE IS GOOD AGREEMENT ON THE DEVELOPMENT OF
WINTRY PRECIP. THE NAM IS COLDER THAN THE GFS...KEEPING ANY WARM
NOSE AND P-TYPE TRANSITION ZONE SOUTH OF THE CWFA. HAVE USED A MDL
BLEND FOR TEMPS WHICH MEANS PRECIP STARTS AS SNOW TUE NITE WITH SOME
FREEZING RAIN MIXING IN FROM ELBERT TO GREENWOOD AS A WARM NOSE
DEVELOPS. EVEN THE WARMER GFS KEEPS THE WARM NOSE RELATIVELY SUBDUED
ALONG THE I-85 CORRIDOR WITH MORE WARMING WORKING IN SOUTH OF I-85
ON WED. FOLLOWING THIS TREND MEANS STILL MAINLY SNOW ALONG AND NORTH
OF I-85...TRANSITIONING TO FREEZING RAIN SOUTH. THERE WILL LIKELY BE
SOME SLEET MIXING IN ALONG THE TRANSITION ZONE...BUT GIVEN THE WARM
NOSE PROFILE...DO NOT EXPECT THE SLEET TO BE MORE THAN TRANSITORY
WITH LITTLE SLEET ACCUMS.

AS THE LOW MOVES UP THE COAST WED NITE...THE WARM NOSE REMAINS
LIMITED TO GENERALLY THE I-85 CORRIDOR AND SOUTH WITH SNOW NORTH.
EXPECT PRECIP TO CHANGE BACK TO ALL SNOW LATE WED NITE AS THE WARM
NOSE RETREATS AND COLD AIR FILLS BACK IN WITH THE DEFORMATION ZONE
DEVELOPING OVER THE CWFA. PRECIP WILL TAPER OFF FROM SW TO NE EARLY
THURSDAY AS MOISTURE PULLS AWAY WITH THE DEPARTING LOW. PRECIP MAY
EVEN CHANGE BACK TO RAIN BEFORE ENDING AS SOME WARMING OCCURS AND
MOISTURE BECOMES SHALLOW EXITING THE ICE NUCLEATION ZONE.

USING A CONSERVATIVE MDL BLEND QPF AND A CONSERVATIVE SNOW TO LIQUID
RATIO FROM A MDL THICKNESS BLEND...STILL GIVES A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT
OF SNOW AND/OR ICE ACROSS THE CWFA WHICH MATCHES WELL WITH THE
FORECAST FROM WPC. THIS IS AN INCREASE FROM THE PREVIOUS FORECAST.
RIGHT NOW...EXPECT SNOW TOTALS FROM 2 TO 4 INCHES SOUTH OF I-85 TO 6
TO 10 INCHES ALONG AND NORTH. ICE ACCUMS OF A QUARTER INCH ARE
EXPECTED GENERALLY ALONG AND SOUTH OF A LINE FROM TOCCOA TO ANDERSON
TO YORK AND MONROE. THAT SAID...AMOUNTS COULD END UP HIGHER...BUT DO
NOT WANT TO GO THAT HIGH YET.

&&

.LONG TERM /THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH MONDAY/...
AS OF 1 PM EST MONDAY...THE MEDIUM RANGE FCST PICKS UP AT 00Z ON
FRIDAY AS THE WINTER PRECIP EVENT HAS WOUND DOWN. ALOFT...THE MODELS
ARE COMING INTO BETTER AGREEMENT WRT THE SYNOPTIC PATTERN. THE
SOUTHERN STREAM UPPER TROF AXIS IS EXPECTED TO BE LIFTING NE OF THE
FCST AREA WHILE THE OVERALL BROAD UPPER TROF PATTERN PERSISTS OVER
THE EASTERN CONUS. ANOTHER LOBE OF SOUTHERN STREAM ENERGY ROTATES
BACK OVER THE AREA LATE FRI AND INTO SAT MORNING AND YET ANOTHER
DECENT LOOKING H5 SHORTWAVE ROTATES BACK DOWN OVER THE CWFA ON SUN.
BEYOND SUN...THE LONG RANGE GUIDANCE SUGGESTS THAT HEIGHTS WILL
BEGIN TO RISE AS THE UPPER PATTERN BECOMES MORE ZONAL.

AT THE SFC...THE MODELS ARE COMING INTO BETTER AGREEMENT WRT THE
OVERALL PROGRESSION OF THE SFC SYNOPTIC PATTERN. AT THE BEGINNING OF
THE PERIOD LATE THURS/EARLY FRI...THE MILLER A-TYPE LOW SHOULD BE
MAKING ITS WAY UP THE ATLANTIC SEABOARD AND TOWARDS THE NEW ENGLAND
COAST AS DRIER HIGH PRESSURE MOVES IN FROM THE WEST. ANOTHER WEAK
COLD FRONT QUICKLY APPROACHES THE CAROLINAS ON FRI AND OVER THE CWFA
BY EARLY SAT. HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS BACK ON SAT AND THEN LIKE A
BROKEN RECORD...ANOTHER WEAK FRONT APPROACHES FROM THE WEST EARLY
SUN WITH HIGH PRESSURE RETURNING AGAIN IN ITS WAKE FOR THE END OF
THE MEDIUM RANGE PERIOD. AS FOR THE SENSIBLE FCST...NO MAJOR CHANGES
WERE MADE TO THE PREVIOUS FCST WITH MOSTLY SLIGHT CHANCE POPS ON
FRI...SAT...AND SUN OVER THE NW HALF OF THE CWFA. TEMPS WILL WARM
THRU MOST OF THE PERIOD AND SHOULD BE ABOVE CLIMATOLOGY BY LATE IN
THE WEEKEND.

&&

.AVIATION /04Z TUESDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/...
AT KCLT...MVFR TO IFR CONDITIONS WILL PREVAIL THROUGH MUCH OF THE
OVERNIGHT AS MOISTURE ASSOCIATED WITH A BAND OF PRECIPITATION
LINGERS ACROSS THE NC PIEDMONT.  LATEST OBS INDICATE A SNRA MIX
OCCURRING AT THIS TIME THEREFORE PREVAILED NO WX WITH AN MVFR CIG
WITH AN INCLUDED TEMPO FROM 00-02Z FOR 6SM SNRA AND AN IFR CIG.
WINDS OVERNIGHT WILL REMAIN NORTHEASTERLY AND SUSTAINED AROUND THE
6-10KTS RANGE AS THE WEDGE BUILDS IN.  AN OCCASIONAL GUST CANNOT BE
RULED OUT AS THE PRESSURE GRADIENT MODIFIES...HOWEVER THIS SHOULD
NOT PREVAIL THUS NOT INCLUDED IN TAF.  BY MORNING GUIDANCE ACTUALLY
INDICATES A BRIEF IMPROVEMENT OF CIGS TO LOW END VFR OR HIGH END
MVFR.  KEPT CIGS AT 3KFT FOR 12Z FM GROUP WITH A PROB30 FROM 14-20Z
FOR 2SM -SN WITH AN IFR CIG.  GUIDANCE CONTINUES TO INDICATE A BAND
OF PRECIPITATION SETTING UP ALONG THE I85 CORRIDOR BY LATE MORNING
ON TUESDAY AND PREVAILING THROUGH THE AFTERNOON...HENCE THE PROB30
AND SUBSEQUENT PREVAILING -SN GROUP.  HOWEVER...MODEL TRENDS HAVE
ACTUALLY BACKED OF ON POPS AT KCLT THEREFORE CONFIDENCE IN WAINING.

AT KAVL/KHKY...CONDITIONS CONTINUE TO IMPROVE AS EARLY SN HAS
PUSHED WELL TO THE EAST.  THUS...INITIALIZED CIGS AT VFR LEVELS
AMIDST STRONG NORTH WINDS FOR KAVL AND HELD ONTO MVFR CIGS AT KHKY.
THIS WILL PREVAIL THROUGH MUCH OF THE OVERNIGHT WITH A BRIEF PERIOD
OF LOWERING IFR LEVEL STRATUS POSSIBLE BY MID MORNING.  CONFIDENCE
IS NOT HIGH IN THIS OCCURRING THEREFORE DECIDED ON A TEMPO RATHER
THAN PREVAILING.  BY MID/LATE MORNING CIGS WILL START TO DETERIORATE
FROM THE SOUTH ACROSS WESTERN NC AS MOISTURE SPREADS IN AS
ISENTROPIC LIFT RAMPS UP AHEAD OF THE APPROACHING SURFACE CYCLONE.
SN REMAINS A POSSIBILITY BY LATE MORNING INTO THE EARLY AFTERNOON
HOURS AS A BAND OF PRECIPITATION PUSHES INTO SOUTHWEST NC.
THUS...PREVAILED 3SM -SN UNDER MVFR/IFR CIGS AT KAVL AND OPTED FOR A
PROB30 AT KHKY DUE TO PROXIMITY OF MOISTURE AXIS.  AS WITH KCLT
ABOVE...CONFIDENCE CONTINUES TO DROP IN REGARDS TO LENGTH OF
SNOWFALL PERIOD ON TUESDAY DUE TO MODEL TRENDS.

ELSEWHERE...MVFR TO IFR CIGS WILL PREVAIL ACROSS ALL THE SC SITES
THIS EVENING AS MOISTURE SLOWLY INCREASES FROM THE SOUTH AS
ISENTROPIC ASCENT BEGINS TO PREVAIL ATOP THE INTRUDING CAD WEDGE.
STILL EXPECTING SN TO COMMENCE BY MID MORNING AT ALL SITES WITH CIGS
DETERIORATING TO IFR LEVELS THROUGH THE REMAINDER OF THE DAY.  SN
WILL ALSO CONTINUE THROUGH THE TAF PERIOD AS MOISTURE AXIS WILL
LIKELY PUSH INTO PORTIONS OF WESTERN NC.  ACCUMULATING SN WITH MVFR
VISB IS LIKELY AT ALL SC SITES TOMORROW AND AN AWW HAS BEEN ISSUED
FOR ALL TERMINALS.  WINDS THROUGH THE PERIOD WILL REMAIN
NORTHEASTERLY AND IN THE 6-10KTS RANGE WITH AN OCCASIONAL GUST.

OUTLOOK...DEEP MOISTURE AND REINFORCING COLD AIR THROUGH WED
SHOULD LEAD TO AREAS OF HEAVY WINTRY PRECIPITATION AND ASSOCIATED
RESTRICTIONS POSSIBLY STARTING EARLY TUE MORNING ACRS THE
UPSTATE...SPREADING TO NC BY TUESDAY EVENING. POOR AVIATION
CONDITIONS EXPECTED TO LINGER INTO THU...BUT WITH GRADUAL
IMPROVEMENT LATE WEEK.
