AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE GREENVILLE-SPARTANBURG SC
958 PM EST SAT FEB 14 2015
.SYNOPSIS...
AN ARCTIC COLD FRONT WILL CROSS THE AREA THIS EVENING...BRINGING
ANOTHER COLD AIRMASS TO THE REGION ON SUNDAY. DEEPER MOISTURE IS
EXPECTED TO SPREAD BACK OVER THE AREA ON MONDAY...WITH LOW PRESSURE
MOVING BY TO THE SOUTH ON TUESDAY AND TUESDAY NIGHT. ANOTHER STRONG
COLD FRONT WILL SWEEP ACROSS THE REGION ON WEDNESDAY WITH VERY COLD
TEMPERATURES SPREADING OVER THE AREA BY EARLY THURSDAY.
&&
.NEAR TERM /THROUGH SUNDAY/...
AS OF 955 PM EST SATURDAY...DIDNT REALLY MAKE ANY SIGNIFICANT
CHANGES WITH THIS UPDATE. SOME ADJUSTMENTS WERE APPLIED TO
WINDS/TEMPS TO BETTER ACCOUNT FOR RECENT OBS ACROSS THE REGION.
SPEAKING OF...COLD FRONT CONTINUES TO SLIDE THROUGH WESTERN NC WITH
THE LEADING EDGE OF THE FRONT ALONG INTERSTATE 85 AT THIS TIME.
SHARP TEMPERATURE GRADIENT PRESENT ACROSS THE FCST AREA WITH MID 50S
STILL OBSERVED AT GRD WHILE TNB HAS ALREADY FALLING INTO THE LOWER
20S. STILL LOOKING AT VERY STRONG...POTENTIALLY DAMAGING WIND GUSTS
BEHIND THE FRONT THIS EVENING...ESPECIALLY ACROSS THE HIGH TERRAIN
WHERE LATEST NAM12 CONTINUES TO PROG 60-65KT H85 WINDS MIXING DOWN
TO THE SFC. DID NOT MAKE ANY CHANGES TO ANY CURRENT HAZARD
PRODUCTS.
PREVIOUS DISCUSSION...
AT 230 PM EST SATURDAY...A BROAD HIGH AMPLITUDE UPPER TROUGH WILL
SLOWLY PROGRESS OVER THE EASTER COAST TONIGHT AND OFF THE COAST ON
SUNDAY...WHILE A CLOSED UPPER LOW MOVED ACROSS THE NE USA. A COLD
FRONT NOW IN ENTERING THE OH RIVER VALLEY WILL MOVE ACROSS OUR AREA
BY EARLY THIS EVENING...SETTING UP A NW FLOW SNOW EVENT OVER THE NC
MOUNTAINS BORDERING TN. AT THIS POINT...IT APPEARS SNOWFALL TOTALS
WILL REACH ADVISORY CRITERIA...BUT NOT WARNING CRITERIA. ROBUST COLD
ADVECTION IN A TIGHT PRESSURE GRADIENT WILL LOWER WIND CHILL VALUES
TO WARNING CRITERIA LATE TONIGHT IN THE NC MOUNTAINS...AND ADVISORY
CRITERIA IN THE NC FOOTHILLS...SC MOUNTAINS...AND NE GA MOUNTAINS.
WARNING CRITERIA WINDS ARE EXPECTED ALONG THE NC BLUE RIDGE...WITH
ADVISORY WINDS NEAR THE TN BORDER AND IN THE NW NC PIEDMONT. ALTHOUGH
GUIDANCE IS SUPPORTING WARMER MINIMUM TEMPERATURES...THEY WILL STILL
BE WELL BELOW NORMAL. AS TEMPERATURES WARM AND THE PRESSURE GRADIENT
GRADUALLY RELAXES ON SUNDAY...WIND AND TEMPERATURE WILL NO LONGER
MEAT THRESHOLDS FOR WARNINGS OR ADVISORIES. HIGH TEMPERATURES WILL
RUN WELL BELOW NORMAL IN THE COLD AIRMASS.
&&
.SHORT TERM /SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY NIGHT/...
AS OF 240 PM...AS CYCLOGENESIS DEVELOPS OVER THE ARKLATEX REGION IN
RESPONSE TO CENTRAL CONUS HEIGHT FALLS LATE SUNDAY...A BAND OF
FRONTOGENESIS WILL BECOME ESTABLISHED ACROSS THE SOUTHEAST SUNDAY
NIGHT. THERE REMAINS DISCREPANCY AMONG THE OPERATIONAL MODELS
REGARDING THE TIMING OF THIS PRECIP INTO THE WESTERN CAROLINAS ON
MONDAY...WITH THE NAM REMAINING AS THE MOST AGGRESSIVE MODEL IN
DEVELOPING PRECIP OVER THE SOUTHWEST NC MTNS BY 12Z MONDAY.
INTERESTINGLY...THE NAM HAS A GREAT DEAL OF SUPPORT FROM THE
SREF...AS MOST ENSEMBLE MEMBERS PRODUCE MEASURABLE PRECIP ACROSS FAR
SOUTHWEST NC BY 12Z. WITH THAT IN MIND...POPS WERE INCREASED TO
LIKELY IN THOSE AREAS BY THAT TIME. HOWEVER...POPS WILL DROP OFF
CONSIDERABLY SOUTH AND EAST FROM THERE TOWARD THE PIEDMONT...IF FOR
NO OTHER REASON THAT IT WILL TAKE LONGER FOR THE VERY DRY NEAR-
SURFACE AIR MASS TO SATURATE OVER THE LOWER ELEVATIONS. POPS WILL
INCREASE THROUGHOUT MONDAY...WITH LIKELY POPS RESERVED FOR THE
WESTERN UPSTATE/NORTHEAST GA AND SOUTHWEST NC. THERE IS LITTLE DOUBT
THAT WHEREVER PRECIPITATION FALLS ACROSS THE FORECAST AREA ON
MONDAY...THE P-TYPE WILL BE SNOW...THE ONLY QUESTION BEING QPF/
ACCUMS.
CONFIDENCE IS RATHER HIGH THAT 3-6 INCHES WILL FALL ACROSS THE
SOUTHWEST NC MTNS BY THE END OF MONDAY...BUT QPF IS MORE UNCERTAIN
SOUTHEAST OF THERE...BUT BASED UPON A CONSENSUS NAM/GFS FORECAST
THROUGH THAT TIME...THE WESTERN UPSTATE AND NORTHEAST GA COULD SEE
SIGNIFICANT ACCUMS BY THE END OF THE DAY. CONFIDENCE IS HIGH ENOUGH
TO ISSUE A WINTER STORM WATCH ON THIS SHIFT FOR OUR FAR WESTERN
AREAS...FROM ROUGHLY CARNESVILLE TO CLAYTON GA...TO SYLVA TO
WAYNESVILLE...TO MARS HILL IN NC.
THE FORECAST IS STILL RIFE WITH UNCERTAINTY MON NIGHT INTO TUE...AS
TWO MODEL CAMPS APPEAR TO BE EMERGING...THE MORE SOUTHERN/SOMEWHAT
DRIER/COLDER LOW TRACK (GFS/CANADIAN)...AND THE MORE NORTHERN/
SOMEWHAT WARMER/MUCH WETTER ECMWF/NAM CAMP (ALTHOUGH IT SHOULD BE
SAID THAT THE NAM IS AN OUTLIER AMONG ALL MODELS AS IT IS MUCH MUCH
SLOWER THAN ANY OF THE MODELS). THE SREF AND GEFS COMPOSITE GUIDANCE
IS SOMEWHERE BETWEEN THE TWO. MEANWHILE...IT WAS INTERESTING THAT
THE THE OPERATIONAL NAM WAS ON THE UPPER END OF THE SREF QPF
ENVELOPE...WHILE THE GFS WAS ON THE LOW END OF THE GEFS ENVELOPE.
WITH THAT IN MIND...A BLEND OF THE GFS/NAM SEEMED TO BE A REASONABLE
PATH OF LEAST REGRET IN TERMS OF TIMING/QPF...WITH A BIT OF A NOD
TOWARD THE GFS CONSIDERING ITS SIMILARITY TO THE TIMING CONSENSUS.
THE UPSHOT IS THAT SNOW IS EXPECTED TO BEGIN TO CHANGE TO SLEET AND
RAIN OR FREEZING RAIN ACROSS THE LOWER SC/GA PIEDMONT MON EVENING...
WITH THIS TRANSITION ZONE SHIFTING GRADUALLY NORTH THROUGH THE
NIGHT...WITH THE SNOW/RAIN OR FZRA LINE SHIFTING TO NEAR THE NC
BORDER BY TUE AFTERNOON. OF PERHAPS UTMOST INTEREST WILL BE HOW MUCH
(AND WHERE) FREEZING RAIN FALLS ON TUESDAY. WHILE THERE WILL BE A
DECENT SURFACE HIGH TO OUR NORTHEAST...IT IS NOT ESPECIALLY STRONG
AND NOT IN AN IDEAL POSITION SUCH THAT MAINTENANCE OF COLD AIR...ESP
IN THE SOUTHERN HALF OF THE FORECAST AREA...WHERE THE TRANSITION TO
LIQUID IS MOST LIKELY. THEREFORE...WHILE THERE WILL LIKELY BE SOME
ICE ACROSS THE UPSTATE AND SOUTHERN NC PIEDMONT MON NIGHT/TUE...HOW
MUCH IS STILL HIGHLY UNCERTAIN.
THE MORAL OF THE STORY IS...THERE REMAINS THE POTENTIAL FOR A
SIGNIFICANT WINTER STORM ACROSS THE ENTIRE REGION MON THRU TUE...BUT
CONFIDENCE REMAINS BELOW WATCH ISSUANCE CRITERIA (50 PERCENT) EXCEPT
FOR THE AFOREMENTIONED AREAS.
&&
.LONG TERM /WEDNESDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/...
AS OF 210 PM SATURDAY...THE MEDIUM RANGE FCST PICKS UP AT 12Z ON
WEDNESDAY WITH THE PERSISTENT UPPER TROF AMPLIFYING YET AGAIN OVER
THE EASTERN CONUS AND BRINGING MORE COLD AIR TO THE REGION. THE TROF
AXIS IS EXPECTED TO MOVE OVER THE CAROLINAS LATE WED/EARLY THURS AND
SLOWLY LIFT OUT OF THE AREA BY THE END OF THE WORK WEEK ON FRI. THE
PERIOD ENDS WITH A LESS AMPLIFIED AND MORE ZONAL PATTERN OVER THE SE
REGION. THE 00Z ECWMF STILL DEVELOPS A POTENT LOOKING SHORTWAVE LATE
FRI AND MOVES IT TO OUR DOORSTEP BY EARLY SAT...HOWEVER THIS FEATURE
IS ESSENTIALLY NONEXISTENT ON THE 12Z GFS.
AT THE SFC...ANOTHER SOUTHERN STREAM LOW WILL BE RAPIDLY DEEPENING
AS IT MOVES UP THE EASTERN SEABOARD AND WELL TO OUR NE BY THE START
OF THE PERIOD. IN ITS WAKE...ANOTHER ROUND OF VERY COLD CANADIAN AIR
WILL SPREAD BACK OVER THE REGION AND DRY THINGS OUT. AS WE MOVE INTO
LATE FRI...MODEL SOLUTIONS DIVERGE QUITE A BIT. THE ECMWF SPINS UP
AN IMPRESSIVE LOOKING LOW...ASSOCIATED WITH ITS UPPER SHORTWAVE...TO
OUR WEST ON FRI AND MOVES THE SYSTEM RIGHT OVER THE CWFA ON SAT. THE
GFS...ON THE OTHER HAND...IS TRENDING DRIER AND DOES NOT DEVELOP A
LOW AND KEEPS THE STRONG SFC HIGH CENTERED RIGHT OVER THE REGION.
FOR WHAT ITS WORTH...THE CANADIAN MODEL ONLY GOES OUT TO 12Z
FRI...YET IT ALSO HAS NO LOW DEVELOPING THRU THAT TIME. AS FOR THE
SENSIBLE WX...I KEPT SOME LINGERING NW FLOW SNOW OVER THE NC/TENN
BORDER FOR LATE WED. THERE COULD BE SOME ADDITIONAL NW FLOW SNOW SH
ON THURS IF MOISTURE IS DEEP ENOUGH AND WINDS REMAIN FAVORABLE.
AFTER THAT...THINGS ARE DRY UNTIL PRECIP CHANCES INCREASE ON FRI AND
SAT AS A BROAD AREA OF DEEPER MOISTURE MOVES INTO THE REGION FROM
THE WEST. THE MAIN STORY FOR THE PERIOD WILL BE THE STUBBORNLY COLD
TEMPS. I HAVE LOWERED VALUES A BIT FROM THE PREVIOUS FCST WITH HIGHS
ON WED IN THE MID 30S FOR THE SC UPSTATE AND LOW 30S FOR THURS.
VALUES REBOUND ON FRI AND SAT...HOWEVER THEY REMAIN WELL BELOW CLIMO
FOR MID FEB. LOWS BOTTOM OUT EARLY THURS WITH VALUES IN THE LOW
TEENS TO SINGLE DIGITS FOR THE UPSTATE AND WIND CHILL VALUES NEAR 0
DEGREES F WITH SOME LOCATIONS BELOW 0. OVER THE HIGHER
TERRAIN...WIND CHILLS DROP TO MINUS 20 F OVER MUCH OF THE MTS
BETWEEN 00 AND 12Z. WIND CHILL ADVISORIES AND MAYBE EVEN A WARNING
WILL PROBABLY BE NEEDED FOR THIS PERIOD.
&&
.AVIATION /03Z SUNDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/...
AT KCLT...KHKY...AND THE SC SITES...VFR CONDITIONS WILL PREVAIL
THROUGH THE TAF PERIOD. STILL MAINLY A WIND FORECAST AS ALL
AIRFIELDS ARE NOW UNDER A WIND ADV THROUGH MORNING. COLD FRONT
APPROACHING FROM THE NORTHWEST WORKING TO INCREASE PRESSURE GRADIENT
ACROSS THE REGION. THUS...CURRENT SW WINDS WILL CONTINUE TO
INCREASE AND VEER NW THROUGH THE NIGHT WITH GUSTS NEARING 30-40KTS
AT TIMES. LOW VFR CIGS WILL SCT THROUGH THE EVENING LEADING TO ONLY
DOWNSTREAM ADVECTED MID/HIGH LEVEL CLOUDS BY MORNING. WINDS WILL
WEAKEN JUST AFTER DAYBREAK AS THE PRESSURE GRADIENT RELAXES AND
STRONGER MID LEVEL JET WINDS SLIDE EAST.
KAVL...VFR WITH POTENTIALLY DAMAGING GRADIENT WINDS REMAINING IN THE
FORECAST WITH PEAK NORTHWEST GUSTS OF AROUND 40-45KTS POSSIBLE
THROUGH THE OVERNIGHT AS STRONG MID LEVEL JET WINDS MIX DOWN TO THE
SURFACE ALONG WITH INCREASED PRESSURE GRADIENT FORCES. DID CONTINUE
WITH A 2HR TEMPO FOR POSSIBLE FLURRIES AS UPSLOPE FORCING IS
ENHANCED ALONG THE TN LINE LEADING TO SN SHOWERS THAT ARE THEN
ADVECTED UP THE VALLEY.
OUTLOOK...VFR CONDITIONS SHOULD PERSIST INTO MONDAY. HOWEVER
RESTRICTIONS DUE TO SNOW MAY DEVELOP LATE MONDAY INTO TUESDAY. VFR
WEDNESDAY.
