Winter Weather in Georgia, February 20 to 21, 2015

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE GREENVILLE-SPARTANBURG SC
257 PM EST FRI FEB 20 2015

.SYNOPSIS...
COLD HIGH PRESSURE WILL MOVE OFFSHORE TONIGHT...BEFORE A COLD FRONT
APPROACHES FROM THE WEST AND PASSES EAST THROUGH SATURDAY. AN ARCTIC
COLD FRONT WILL MOVE ACROSS THE REGION LATE SUNDAY WITH VERY COLD
HIGH PRESSURE RETURNING EARLY NEXT WEEK. CONDITIONS MAY REMAIN
UNSETTLED AS A MOIST SURFACE BOUNDARY LINGERS TO THE SOUTH.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH SATURDAY/...
AS OF 215 PM EST...PRECIPITATION HAS BEGUN ACTIVATING ALONG A WARM
FRONT TO THE SW...SHOWING UP MAINLY AS SNOW OVER NRN AL THIS
AFTERNOON. THIS EARLY UPGLIDE INDUCED PRECIPITATION SHOULD SLOWLY
FILL IN EWD THROUGH THE EVENING HOURS. HOWEVER...THE EWD EXTENT OF
THE OVERNIGHT PRECIPITATION IS GREATLY COMPLICATED BY THE COLD AND
DRY AIRMASS IN PLACE ACROSS OUR REGION...AS WELL AS THE RELATIVELY
WEAK FORCING/MOISTURE WITH ANY DEVELOPING UPGLIDE. THE FORECAST IS
FURTHER COMPLICATED BY THE LIKELY POOR MODEL HANDLING OF VERTICAL
PROFILES IN THE COLD AND DRY AIR.

THE SFC HIGH CENTER WILL MOVE EAST ACROSS THE NC OUTER BANKS TONIGHT
AND THEN OFFSHORE THROUGH SAT. ALTHOUGH THIS IS NOT FAVORABLE FOR
MAINTENANCE OF THE COLD AIR...THAT IS NOT REALLY A PROBLEM IN THIS
CASE SINCE THE COLD AND DRY ARCTIC AIRMASS IS ALREADY IN PLACE AT
ONSET. EXPECT ISENTROPIC LIFT TO GRADUALLY IMPROVE FROM THE WEST
TONIGHT AS THE UPPER LEVEL FLOW BECOMES MORE CYCLONIC IN NATURE DUE
TO FALLING HEIGHTS TO THE WEST. THE MOISTURE WILL FILL IN SLOWLY AT
VARIOUS LEVELS IN THE PROFILES AND IT WILL BE SOMEWHAT TRANSIENT...
ESPECIALLY EAST OF THE MTNS. MOST OF THE LIGHT PRECIPITATION WITH
THIS WARM FRONTAL BAND SHOULD AFFECT MAINLY THE WRN HALF TONIGHT
THROUGH SAT...WITH A RELATIVE LULL IN 850 MB MOISTURE E OF THE MTNS
ON SAT. QPF WILL REMAIN THE BIGGEST LIMITING FACTOR FOR MOST
LOCATIONS AWAY FROM THE TN BORDER. IN ADDITION...THE SUB CLOUD LAYER
REALLY DOES NOT MOISTEN UP EAST OF THE MTNS THROUGH THE BULK OF THE
NEAR TERM PERIOD. BETTER MOISTURE AND DEEP LAYER FORCING WILL
EVENTUALLY SET UP ALONG THE SPINE OF THE SOUTHERN APPALACHIANS
DURING THE DAY ON SATURDAY. IN ADDITION...A ROBUST SRLY JET SHOULD
FORCE A GRADUAL TRANSITION OF MIXED PTYPES THERE. THE JET WILL ALSO
CREATE WINDY RIDGE TOP CONDITIONS DEVELOPING OVERNIGHT AND LASTING
THROUGH THE DAY ON SATURDAY.

ALL TOLD...WILL SLIGHTLY EXPAND THE WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY INTO THE
SRN NC FOOTHILLS...THE UPSTATE MTNS AND INTO HABERSHAM AND STEPHENS
GA FOR LIGHT ICING POTENTIAL. SINCE THE NRN MOUNTAINS WILL LIKELY
SEE ABOUT 2 INCHES OR MORE OF SNOW...TOPPED WITH ONE HALF INCH OF
SLEET...WARNING CRITERIA SHOULD BE MET THERE FOR IMPACT. WILL ALSO
EXTEND THE HAZARD PRODUCTS UNTIL 8 PM ON SATURDAY IN CASE
TEMPERATURES WARM A BIT MORE SLOWLY THAN CURRENTLY EXPECTED.

&&

.SHORT TERM /SATURDAY NIGHT THROUGH MONDAY/...
AS OF 230 PM FRIDAY...SFC LOW WILL CONTINUE TO LIFT NEWD OUT OF THE
OHIO VALLEY SATURDAY NIGHT WITH TRAILING COLD FRONT TIMED TO CROSS
THE SRN APPALACHIANS NEAR DAYBREAK SUNDAY. NAM/GFS FEATURE A WEAK
SFC WAVE DEVELOPING ON THE FRONT NEAR THE GULF COAST AND RIDING UP
THRU OUR CWFA SUN MRNG. THE PEAK QPF RATES OF THE EVENT ARE EXPECTED
AS THE FRONT PASSES. LOW LEVEL FORCING IS NOT THAT REMARKABLE. MODEL
QPF IS FAIRLY HIGH FOR THE SEASON...BUT SREF PLUMES INDICATE MOST
MEMBERS ARE CLUSTERED BELOW THE MEAN...AS IS WPC QPF IN MOST OF THE
AREA. THUS KEPT THE FCST QPF ON THE LOWER SIDE OF THE SPECTRUM.

WARM ADVECTION CONTINUES IN THE LLVLS AHEAD OF THE FRONT SATURDAY
NIGHT. THERE REMAINS SOME QUESTION AS TO WHETHER TEMPS WILL HAVE
RISEN ENOUGH BY THE END OF THE DAY SUNDAY TO TURN ALL PRECIP BACK TO
LIQUID. THIS LARGELY DEPENDS ON EVAPORATIVE COOLING HAVING A BIGGER
IMPACT ON TEMPS THAN CURRENTLY EXPECTED. TEMPS EARLY SATURDAY EVENING
WERE KEPT COOLER THAN RAW SFC TEMPS...NOT AS COLD AS THE RAW WET BULB
TEMPS /WHICH WOULD SUPPORT WIDESPREAD WINTRY PRECIP/ BUT COOL ENOUGH
TO ALLOW CONTINUING FZRA AND SMALL ADDITIONAL ICE ACCUMS IN PARTS OF
THE NRN MTN/FOOTHILL ZONES INTO SATURDAY EVENING. THERE IS GOOD
AGREEMENT FROM GUIDANCE ON TEMPS CONTINUING TO RISE THROUGH MOST IF
NOT ALL OF THE NIGHT. THUS THE VAST MAJORITY OF THE AREA IS EXPECTED
TO SEE ALL RAIN. THE STRENGTH OF THE WARM NOSE ABOVE THE SFC IS SO
STRONG AND DEEP THAT EVEN IF SFC TEMPS ARE BELOW FREEZING THE
DOMINANT PTYPE WOULD BE FZRA. WIDESPREAD HYDRO ISSUES ARE NOT
ANTICIPATED...THOUGH A FLOOD WATCH WILL BE ISSUED FOR EAST TN BY THE
MORRISTOWN OFFICE. WESTERN NC WILL NOT SEE AS MUCH QPF OR AS MUCH
SNOWMELT AS THE TENN VALLEY WILL.

TEMPS SHOULD CONTINUE TO RISE INTO SUNDAY...PERHAPS PEAKING A BIT
EARLIER THAN CLIMO AS THE FRONT USHERS IN COLD ADVECTION DURING THE
DAY...BUT REACHING NEAR NORMAL MAX VALUES. POPS WILL TREND DOWN THRU
THE DAY OVER THE PIEDMONT...REMAINING MENTIONABLE ALONG THE TENN
BORDER IN THE ENSUING NW FLOW. SAID FLOW HAS LIMITED MOISTURE...AND
WITH A STRONG DRY INVERSION ATOP THE BDY LAYER WINDS REMAIN
UNIMPRESSIVE. CHANCES DO NOT DIMINISH IN THIS AREA HOWEVER UNTIL
MONDAY.

THERE REMAINS A FAIR AMOUNT OF UNCERTAINTY AS FAR AS WHAT WILL BECOME
OF THE FRONT ONCE IT MOVES THROUGH THE CWFA. CONSENSUS DOES STALL IT
OVER CENTRAL GA AND THE SC MIDLANDS...BUT BENEATH THE PERSISTENT
TROUGH AND FAST UPPER FLOW...A WAVE COULD DEVELOP ALONG IT AND SPREAD
MOISTURE AND PRECIP NWD INTO OUR SRN ZONES SUN NIGHT INTO MON. FCST
SFC TEMPS AT THAT TIME APPEAR MARGINALLY WARM AND LIMITING OF WINTRY
PRECIP...PROFILES SUGGESTING A MIXY TRANSITION BACK TO SNOW BEING
POSSIBLE MON MRNG AS HIGH PRESSURE CONCURRENTLY BUILDS IN FROM THE
NW. POPS AND CONFIDENCE ARE LOW AT THIS TIME. MAX TEMPS MON RETURN 10
DEGREES OR SO BELOW CLIMO.

&&

.LONG TERM /MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY/...
AT 230 PM EST FRIDAY...ON TUESDAY MORNING A BROAD UPPER TROUGH WILL
BE OVER THE EASTERN HALF OF THE NATION...WITH A NEARLY ZONAL FLOW
OVER THE SOUTHEAST. THE ECMWF AND GFS DIVERGE ON AMPLIFICATION OF
THE TROUGH ON WEDNESDAY...WITH THE FORMER CLOSER THE THE EAST
COAST...AND THE LATER CLOSER TO THE MS RIVER VALLEY. BY THURSDAY
THE TROUGH BROADENS AND FLATTENS IN BOTH MODELS...WITH ZONAL FLOW
ACROSS THE SOUTHERN TIER OF THE USA. BY FRIDAY AMPLIFICATION TAKES
PLACE OVER THE WESTERN USA AND NW MEXICO.

AT THE SURFACE...A COLD FRONT WILL MOVE S AND AWAY FROM THE GA COAST
ON MONDAY NIGHT...CROSSING S FL AND REACHING THE BAHAMAS BY TUESDAY
MORNING. COLD SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE WILL DOMINATE THE EASTERN
SEABOARD ON TUESDAY...WHILE A SURFACE WAVE MOVES UP THE COASTAL
FRONT. THESE DEVELOPMENTS COULD RESULT IN WINTRY PRECIPITATION
LINGERING OVER OUR AREA FROM MONDAY NIGHT TROUGH TUESDAY. CONFIDENCE
IS RATHER LOW...AND AT THIS TIME NO PRECIPITATION ACCUMULATIONS ARE
BEING CARRIED WITH THIS SCENARIO. AS THE SURFACE WAVE MOVES UP THE
GULF STREAM LATE TUESDAY NIGHT...DRIER AIR WILL MOVE INTO THE
FOOTHILLS AND PIEDMONT FROM THE SW.

A COLD FRONT WILL CROSS THE MOUNTAINS FROM THE WEST EARLY
WEDNESDAY...PRECEDED BY LIGHT SNOW SHOWERS...AND FOLLOWED BY A ROUND
OF LIGHT NW FLOW MOUNTAIN SNOW SHOWERS IN ITS WAKE. HIGH PRESSURE
REMAINS TO OUR WEST IN THE PLAINS INTO THURSDAY...FINALLY SPREADING
ACROSS THE APPALACHIANS ON FRIDAY.

TEMPERATURES WILL START OUR AROUND 15 DEGREES BELOW NORMAL TUESDAY
WARMING TO 10 DEGREES BELOW NORMAL ON WEDNESDAY...THE COOLING
BACK TO AROUND 15 DEGREES BELOW NORMAL LATE IN THE WEEK.

&&

.AVIATION /20Z FRIDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
AT KCLT...THE COLD AND DRY AIRMASS IN PLACE COULD PROVE TROUBLESOME
AS A WARM FRONT ACTIVATES TO THE W. HOWEVER...PRECIP CHANCES AND
ASSOCIATED QPF LOOK VERY LOW THROUGH THE PERIOD SUCH THAT MAJOR
IMPACTS ON THE AIRFIELD ARE NOT EXPECTED THROUGH SAT. WILL FEATURE
MAINLY LOWERING VFR CLOUDS...AND SOME FLAVOR OF LIGHT S TO SE WINDS
THROUGH THE PERIOD. ANY VCSH WOULD BE MAINLY SN OR PL IF SOMETHING
DOES INDEED FALL 15Z TO 18Z.

ELSEWHERE...THE MOISTURE GRADIENT TIGHTENS FROM THE FOOTHILLS TO THE
WRN MTNS OVER THE PERIOD...WITH PRECIP CHANCES RELATIVELY LOW...BUT
WITH A WINTRY MIX INDICATED ANYWHERE PRECIP MANAGES TO FALL. KAVL
WILL SEE THE BEST CHANCE THROUGH THE CURRENT TAF PERIOD...WITH SN OR
PL MENTIONED MAINLY IN A TEMPO AFTER 14Z...BUT WITH VCSH FOR SN AND
PL AS EARLY AS 05Z TONIGHT. WILL JUST MENTION VCSH LATE AT THE
FOOTHILL SITES. ANTICIPATE WINDS MAINLY SE...WITH SOME LOW END GUSTS
POSSIBLE AT KAVL LATER IN THE PERIOD...ALONG WITH LLWS AS THE SRLY
850 MB JET INTENSIFIES.

OUTLOOK...UNSETTLED WEATHER WILL CONTINUE SATURDAY NIGHT INTO SUNDAY
AS THE TRAILING COLD FRONT MOVES SE THROUGH THE TERMINAL FORECAST
AREA. RESTRICTIONS APPEAR LIKELY...BUT TEMPERATURES SHOULD WARM TO
SUPPORT MAINLY LIQUID PTYPES WITH FROPA. ADDITIONAL WAVES OF LOW
PRESSURE MAY MOVE ALONG THE FRONT TO THE SE EARLY NEXT WEEK.
