Winter Weather in Georgia, February 18, 2015

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE GREENVILLE-SPARTANBURG SC
1255 PM EST WED FEB 18 2015

.SYNOPSIS...
AN ARCTIC COLD FRONT WILL PUSH THROUGH FROM THE NORTH TODAY.
EXTREMELY COLD HIGH PRESSURE WILL THEN BUILD IN AND REMAIN INTO
FRIDAY. A MOIST SURFACE BOUNDARY WILL DEVELOP ACROSS THE FORECAST
AREA LATE FRIDAY AND PERSIST THROUGHOUT THE WEEKEND. ANOTHER ARCTIC
COLD FRONT WILL APPROACH THE AREA SUNDAY NIGHT.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...
AS OF 1255 PM...RADAR SHOWS SNOW SHOWERS CONTINUING ACROSS THE MTNS
AND DEVELOPING ALONG THE BLUE RIDGE. EXPECT THE SHSN TO CONTINUE
ACROSS THE MTNS AND SPREAD OUT INTO THE NRN FOOTHILLS AND PIEDMONT
THIS AFTERNOON. SOME OF THE SHSN WILL MOVE ACROSS THE SRN FOOTHILLS
AND PIEDMONT...BUT WILL NOT BE AS WIDESPREAD OR AS INTENSE. GUSTY
WINDS ALREADY DEVELOPING AND THEY WILL CONTINUE INTO THE EVENING
BEFORE DIMINISHING OVERNIGHT MOST LOCATIONS OUTSIDE OF THE MTNS.

AS OF 1030 AM...SNOW SHOWERS MOVING BACK INTO THE MTNS AS SCHEDULED.
EXPECT THE SNOW SHOWERS TO CONTINUE AND INCREASE IN COVERAGE THRU
THE AFTERNOON. IN FACT...EXPECT THE SNOW SHOWERS TO BREAK
CONTAINMENT AND DEVELOP ACROSS THE FOOTHILLS AND PIEDMONT DURING THE
AFTERNOON AS LOW LEVEL INSTABILITY DEVELOPS IN THE STEEPENING LAPSE
RATES. FORECAST ACCUMS ACROSS THE MTNS STILL LOOK GOOD WITH THE
TOTAL AMOUNTS...INCLUDING SNOW TONIGHT...TO END UP AT HIGH END
ADVISORY FROM MADISON NORTH AND SOLID ADVISORY SOUTH OF THERE. WINDS
WILL ALSO BECOME VERY GUSTY TODAY WITH THE DEEP MIXING AND LOW
INSTABILITY BRINGING DOWN STRONGER WIND GUSTS...ESPECIALLY IN THE
STRONGER SNOW SHOWERS. WILL WRAP THE WIND WORDING INTO THE ADV.

AFTER COLLABORATION WITH NEIGHBORING OFFICES...WILL EXTEND THE
WINTER WX ADV FOR THE I-40 CORRIDOR...DUE TO A COMBINATION OF THE
STRONG WIND GUSTS AND DEVELOPING SNOW SHOWERS. THE ACCUMS WILL
GENERALLY BE AN INCH OR LESS ACROSS THIS AREA. HOWEVER...GIVEN THE
DEVELOPING INSTABILITY...A FEW LOCATIONS COULD SEE STRONGER SNOW
SHOWERS WITH SLIGHTLY HIGHER AMOUNTS. STRONG WIND GUSTS WILL
ACCOMPANY THE SNOW SHOWERS CREATING REDUCED VISIBILITY AND BLOWING
SNOW. ICE LADEN TREES WILL BE MORE LIKELY TO FALL AS WELL.

ACROSS THE REST OF THE CWFA...CLOUDS WILL FILL BACK IN THIS
AFTERNOON WHERE CLEARING HAS OCCURRED. SOME GENERALLY LIGHT SNOW
SHOWERS WILL MOVE ACROSS THE REST OF THE NC MTNS...AND WILL LIKELY
DEVELOP ACROSS THE NC SRN FOOTHILLS AND PIEDMONT. HOWEVER...ANY
ACCUMULATIONS HERE WILL BE LESS THAN AN INCH AS THE STRONGER FORCING
WILL BE FARTHER NORTH. THAT SAID...OCCASIONAL STRONG WIND GUSTS WILL
DEVELOP ACROSS THESE AREAS AS WELL. AGAIN...WITH MANY LOCATIONS
HAVING ICE LADEN TREES...THIS CREATES ENUF CONCERN TO ISSUE A WIND
ADVISORY EVEN THO WIND SPEEDS AND DURATION MAY NOT QUITE REACH
CRITERIA.

FINALLY...WILL DROP WITH BLACK ICE ADVISORY TO AVOID CONFUSION WITH
THE ADVISORY FOR NOW. IT WAS TO EXPIRE AT 11 AM ANYWAY. FCST HIGHS
STILL LOOK ON TRACK...AS THE COLD TEMPS AND REDEVELOPING CLOUDS WERE
ALREADY FACTORED IN.

AT 6 AM...THE MAIN TWEAK TO THE FCST IS TO ADJUST THE EARLY MORNING
LOW CLOUD AND FOG CVRG ACRS THE PIEDMONT...AND TO BACK OFF THE ONSET
OF SNOW SHOWER CHANCES IN THE NC MTNS FOR A FEW HOURS.

PREVIOUS DISCUSSION...

THE SENSIBLE WX FOR THE EARLY MORNING HOURS WILL VARY FROM SIMPLY A
FEW HIGH CLOUDS TO LOCALIZED AREAS OF PIEDMONT LOW OVC AND FOG. IN
ADDITION...THERE REMAINS THE PROBABILITY OF LINGERING SLICK ROADS
WHETHER FROM THE REFREEZE OF MELTED SNOW AND/OR FROZEN SLUSH.

HAVE BEEN MONITORING THE EASTWARD PROGRESS OF POTENT VORT...CURRENTLY
FORCING AREAS OF SNOW ACRS KY/W TN...AND SHOULD BE ABLE SPREAD
NUMEROUS SNOW SHOWERS ACRS THE NC MTNS LATER THIS MORNING. FCST SNDGS
EAST OF THE MTNS DEPICT STEEPENING LLVL LAPSE RATES AND EVEN SLIGHTLY
POSITIVE LLVL CAPE VALUES THIS AFTERNOON. WITH ENHANCED LIFT PROVIDED
BY THE AFOREMENTIONED S/WV...AT LEAST SCATTERED SNOW SHOWER CHANCES
WILL BE SEEN INTO THE I-77 CORRIDOR...PERHAPS PRODUCING A QUICK
COATING OF SNOW.

IN ADVANCE OF AND COINCIDENT WITH THE PASSAGE OF THE ASSOCIATED
ARCTIC FRONT...WESTERLY WIND GUSTS IN EXCESS OF 30 MPH WILL BE
POSSIBLE. EVEN WITH VARYING DEGREES OF SUNSHINE TODAY...TEMPERATURES
WILL STRUGGLE TO CLIMB...TOPPING OUT AS MUCH AS 20 DEG F BELOW CLIMO.

WITHIN THE ONGOING VERY ROBUST CAA REGIME TONIGHT...UPSLOPE FLOW
MOISTURE SHOULD BE ENOUGH TO SQUEEZE OUT A FRESH INCH OR TWO ACRS
THE TENN BORDER COUNTIES. MORE SIGNIFICANT THAN THE NEW SNOWFALL
WILL BE THE INFLUX OF A BRUTALLY COLD AIRMASS FEATURING RECORD
COLD THURSDAY MORNING MIN TEMPERATURES. IN COMBINATION WITH THE
LINGERING NW WIND GUSTS...WIND CHILL INDEX VALUES ARE FCST TO
REACH WARNING CRITERIA IN THE MTNS AND ADVISORY CRITERIA ELSEWHERE.

&&

.SHORT TERM /THURSDAY THROUGH SATURDAY NIGHT/...
AS OF 330 AM WEDNESDAY...THE MAIN CONCERN ON THURSDAY THRU FRIDAY
WILL BE THE ONGOING COLD WAVE WITH DANGEROUS WIND CHILLS ACRS THE
CWFA. AFTER COLLABORATION WITH OUR NEIGHBORING OFFICES...WE HAVE THE
WIND CHILL WARNING IN THE NRN MTNS AND WIND CHILL ADVISORY ACRS THE
REST OF OUR NC ZONES GO THRU THE DAY ON THURSDAY AND THURSDAY NIGHT.
THE UPSTATE AND NE GA LOOK TO RECOVER QUITE A BIT MORE ON THURSDAY
WITH THE WARMEST TEMPS AND LIGHTEST WINDS. MAY NEED ANOTHER WIND
CHILL ADV THURSDAY NIGHT INTO PORTIONS OF GA/SC...BUT CONFIDENCE
ISN/T HIGH ENUF. IN ANY CASE...THE AIR MASS IN PLACE WILL BE QUITE
ANOMALOUS...WITH THE GEFS 850 TEMPS REACHING 4 TO 5 STANDARD
DEVIATIONS BELOW NORMAL ACRS THE WESTERN CAROLINAS. THIS DANGEROUS
COLD WAVE WILL ALSO BE HIGHLIGHTED IN A SPECIAL WEATHER STATEMENT
(SPS). MAX TEMPS WILL BE ABOUT 30 DEG BELOW NORMAL (PROBABLY SUB-
FREEZING FOR ENTIRE CWFA) ON THURSDAY. AS THE CENTER OF THE ARCTIC
HIGH SETTLES INTO THE AREA FRIDAY...SOME AREAS WILL LIKELY SEE EVEN
COLDER MIN TEMPS FRIDAY MORNING. FORTUNATELY...WINDS WILL BE
LIGHTER. HIGHS ON FRIDAY WILL ONLY BE A CATEGORY OR TWO WARMER THAN
THURSDAY...NOT HELPED BY INCREASING HIGH CLOUDS DURING THE DAY...AS
UPPER FLOW BECOMES ZONAL.

FRIDAY NIGHT...SHORTWAVE ENERGY WILL BEGIN TO INCREASE WITHIN A
STRENGTHENING SOUTHERN STREAM JET. MODELS IN GOOD AGREEMENT ON
INCREASING MOIST UPGLIDE ON BACK SIDE OF ARCTIC HIGH ACRS THE LWR MS
VALLEY TO THE TN VALLEY...WITH EASTERN EDGE EXTENDING INTO THE
WESTERN CAROLINAS. PARTIAL THICKNESSES ON THE 00Z EC/GFS/CMC AND THE
SUB-ZERO C 850 MB TEMPS ON THE GEFS MEAN ALL INDICATE THAT THE ONSET
OF PRECIP WILL BE SNOW ACRS THE WESTERN HALF OF THE CWFA. CONFIDENCE
IN PRECIP AMT/INTENSITY STILL LOW...AS AIR MASS WILL START OUT VERY
DRY...AND THE BETTER OVERALL FORCING LOOKS TO REMAIN WEST OF THE
AREA THRU DAYBREAK SATURDAY. IN ANY CASE...I HAVE CHC TO LOW-END
LIKELY SNOW WITH LIGHT ACCUMS. TEMPS WILL BE IN THE TEENS NORTH AND
MAINLY LWR-MID 20S SOUTH.

SATURDAY THRU SATURDAY NIGHT...A WARM FRONT IS PROGGED TO LIFT THRU
THE SOUTHEAST STATES...AS LOW PRES ORGANIZES OVER THE SOUTHERN
PLAINS. A LOT OF UNCERTAINTY ON HOW FAST PROFILES TRANSITION FROM
ALL SNOW TO WINTRY MIX...THEN TO RAIN DURING THESE TWO PERIODS.
TAKING A BLEND OF THE ECMWF AND GFS THICKNESS NOMOGRAM TECHNIQUE AND
USING A NON-DIURNAL TEMP RANGE...HAVE MOST AREAS SWITCH TO RAIN BY
SATURDAY EVENING. POPS ARE ALSO LOW CONFIDENCE...AS WARM FRONT LIFTS
NORTH LEAVING LITTLE FORCING FOR PRECIP SATURDAY NIGHT. ADDITIONAL
SNOW AND ICE ACCUMS ARE LIKELY IN THE MTNS AND MOST OF THE NC
FOOTHILLS/PIEDMONT DURING THE DAY ON SATURDAY BEFORE WAA TAKES OVER
AND PRECIP SWITCHES TO RAIN. HAVE HIGHS IN THE 30S SATURDAY...THEN
STEADY OR WARMING SATURDAY NIGHT TO THE UPR 30S AND 40S.

&&

.LONG TERM /SUNDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...
AS OF 245 AM EST WEDNESDAY...THE EXT RANGE BEGINS WITH DECENT MODEL
AGREEMENT WITH THE UPPER PATTERN...AS THE 00Z ECMWF HAS COME MORE IN
LINE WITH THE 00Z GFS WRT THE NATURE OF SUN/S WARM SECTOR AND THE
TIMING OF THE ARCTIC COLD FRONT PUSHING THROUGH SUN NIGHT. AFTER
THAT...CONFIDENCE GOES DOWN AND MORE WEIGHT IS GIVEN TO THE DRIER
GFS SOLN.

SUNDAY WILL SEE SMALL SCALE RIDGING ALIGNED IN A RELATIVE WARM SECTOR
WHICH WILL QUICKLY BREAK DOWN AS CHANNELED VORT ENERGY WITHIN
INCREASING CYCLONIC FLOW REACHES THE NC MTNS BY 00Z. WITH A
TIGHTENING SFC PGRAD...SW/LY FLOW WILL BE STRONG ENUF TO WARM MAXES
BACK TO NORMAL LEVELS...THE WARMEST MAXES SEEN IN ABOUT A WEEK.
THERE IS IS SOME MEASURE OF SBCAPE AND MLVL LAPSE RATES THROUGH THE
DAY ALONG WITH A DECENT LLVL JET...HOWEVER THIS SHOULD NOT BE ENOUGH
TO OVERCOME THE CLOUDINESS AND PRECIPITATION FOR ANY SIGFNT
CONVECTION DEVELOPMENT. THUS...NOMINAL -SHRA WILL BE FCST/D WITH
EARLY MORNING -SNSH ACROSS THE NRN MTNS WANING QUICKLY. POPS OVER
MOST LOCALES HAVE BEEN BUMPED UP A TAD FOR SUN WITH NO SIGFNT CAT
CHANGES.

AS THE ARCTIC FRONT APPROACHES SUN NIGHT...A TRANSITION TO SNOW WILL
OCCUR OVER THE WRN MTNS WHERE A COUPLE INCHES COULD ACCUM THROUGH
DAYBREAK. THE MAIN CONCERN WILL BE WINDS AND WIND CHILLS WHICH COULD
AGAIN REQUIRE ADV/WARN PRODUCTS THROUGH THE OVERNIGHT. THE SFC HIGH
A SUBS INVERSION WILL SETTLE ACROSS THE REGION MON THROUGH TUE WHICH
WILL EFFECTIVELY REDUCE ANY PRECIP TO NIL AFTER THE LINGERING NWFS
DISSIPATES MON EVENING. THIS CA AIRMASS WONT BE QUITE AS COLD AS THE
ONE AFFECTING THE AREA THIS COMING THU/FRI...BUT COLD ENUF TO OFFSET
GOOD INSOL AND HOLD MAXES ABOUT 10 DEGREES BELOW NORMAL MON AND TUE.

&&

.AVIATION /18Z WEDNESDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...
AT KCLT...SNOW SHOWERS...GUSTY WINDS AND MVFR LOOKING LIKE A GOOD
BET BASED ON CURRENT OBS AND RADAR. HAVE ADJUSTED THE TIMING OF THE
TEMPO TO ACCOUNT FOR THE EARLIER ONSET. SOME OF THE GUSTS COULD BE
WNW EVEN AS THE GENERAL WIND WILL BE WSW UNTIL AFTER THE SNOW
SHOWERS END LATER THIS AFTERNOON. GUSTY WNW WIND WILL CONTINUE INTO
THE EVENING WITH SCATTERING CLOUDS. LOW END WNW WIND GUSTS CONTINUE
THE THE REST OF THE PERIOD WITH FEW LOW VFR CLOUDS FROM TIME TO
TIME.

ELSEWHERE...GUSTY WINDS CONTINUE INTO THE EVENING AND THRU THE
PERIOD AT SOME LOCATIONS. KAVL AND KHKY HAVE THE BEST CHC OF ANY
RESTRICTIONS IN SNOW SHOWERS...WHILE THE SC SITES COULD SEE SOME BKN
LOW VFR. VFR EXPECTED OVERNIGHT AND THU...WITH A LOW END CHC OF MVFR
AND -SHSN AT KAVL TONIGHT.

OUTLOOK...VERY COLD WEATHER WILL PERSIST THROUGH FRIDAY. ANOTHER
LARGE STORM SYSTEM MAY DEVELOP OVER THE REGION THIS WEEKEND...WITH
THE POSSIBILITY OF WINTRY PRECIP FRIDAY NIGHT AND OCCASIONAL
RESTRICTIONS THROUGH THE WEEKEND.
