NWS Forecaster Discussion
863 fxus62 kgsp 211901 afdgsp Area forecast discussion National Weather Service Greenville-Spartanburg SC 201 PM EST Sat Nov 21 2009 Synopsis... high pressure over the region will shift north over the weekend. This will allow a low pressure system to move east along the Gulf Coast then north along the Carolina coast Sunday through Monday. The low is expected to reach the New England coast by Tuesday as weak high pressure remains over the southeast states. Another cold front or coastal low could move into the area by the middle of next week. && Near term /through Sunday/... confluent flow off the New England coast will gradually strengthen surface high pressure over the Middle Atlantic States through Sunday. The morning upper air showed very dry air down along the Gulf Coast. For example...the Tallahassee radiosonde observation had a 40 degree dewpoint depression at 850 mb. With this much dry air to the south...and with a developing classical cold air damming event...it/S not surprising that the models have been delaying the onset of precipitation over the past several runs. At least the GFS has toned down The Pot vorticity maxes and heavy precipitation that it had been driving across The Heart of The Wedge ridge. This seems more realistic as quantitative precipitation forecast should be fairly light with the low level dry air and the weakening southern stream system. The best chances for heavy rain will be along the coastal front...well to our south. Overall...the sref seems to have done the best job of handling the evolution of the Gulf Coast low and precipitation distribution so far. I/ve followed it fairly closely for the timing of precipitation. This means a dry forecast tonight. Precipitation should overspread the region from the southwest on Sunday...though I Don/T see anything falling north of Greenville until the afternoon hours. I raised maximum temperatures a couple categories over the NE zones where thinner cloud cover early in the day will result in a little more warming than originally expected. I followed a met/mav blend and we match up well with the neighbors. && Short term /Sunday night through Monday night/... as of 130 PM Saturday...not that there is a great deal of confidence with regards to the specifics of the Sunday night forecast...but likely some degree of deep relative humidity and east-southeast flow above lingering wedge will remain all night. Sensible weather is still expected to be damp with rainy and drizzly periods...although precipitation totals will be moderate at worst. Confidence increasing that damming regime will remain through Monday...although forcing for additional precipitation will wane...eventually just being forced by some degree of warm air advection/easterly flow just above surface. Even the milder 12 UTC met numbers...which will probably be too warm anyway...support notable lowering of going maximum temperatures. Given the weakening of the low level flow Monday night and residual weak surface ridging...there seems to be Little Hope of scouring...so will plan on leaving overcast conds with spotty areas of light rain/drizzle... especially along and east of the Escarpment where weak low level easterly flow will continue to lift shallow moisture. && Long term /Tuesday through Friday/... as of 145 PM Saturday...not much agreement is seen in the op models with respect to amount of deepening of the middle week cut off low and the level of moisture available for the occluded front to work with once it reaches the County warning forecast area Wednesday morning. Even less agreement is seen between the GFS and the European model (ecmwf) on Thursday/Friday with the polar vortex reinforcing the glakes low and the eventual track and speed of the large scale pattern. The GFS 500 mb ens members show the highest spread early Friday morning with about 8 dm of uncertainty associated with the height field...lending low confidence toward the setup for a possible minimal northwest flow event. Not many changes have Ben made to the going forecast with little confidence had both in the op models and HPC guidance. Some decent agreement is seen Tuesday with the slower breakdown of the surface wedge. Model soundings indicate rather thick stratus hanging on throughout the day and very low winds in the bl. So...maximum temperature guidance has been cut back a Cat or so outside the mountains to account for this possible scenario. Probability of precipitation still seem suspect with little in the way of organized flow interacting over The Wedge...so the lingering slight chances were changed little. The GFS is more aggressive in bringing a moist occluded front to the mountains by 12z Wednesday than the European model (ecmwf). The ec does eventually bring the front to the area late in the day...but both models cut off the gom moisture flux with low level ridging from the west. With the main large scale forcing shifted north...will count on very little impact as far a precipitation coverage GOES. For now...slight chances will remain...but this could be increased once better data is gleaned on this system. The next system to think about will be Thu/Fri...as the GFS insists on a moist northwest flow event...yet the ec remains dry and Low Key on the kinematic setup. The GFS as mentioned earlier is bringing in a much stronger reinforcing polar vortex into the glakes low...about twice as strong pvu/wise than the European model (ecmwf). This seems a little too strong for this time of year...and for now will side with the more conservative European model (ecmwf) on this one. Thus...minimal probability of precipitation and an all rain p/type are advertised for that period. Other than the lower than normal probability of precipitation expected Tuesday....Max temperatures should rebound rather nicely Wednesday through Friday. Increased insolation and a warm air advection flow will enable maxes at or perhaps a couple degrees above normal. The NC mountains will be trickery Friday...as it/S probable that cold air advection associated with the passing vortex to the north lowers temperatures throughout the day. Yet for now...will only go a couple degrees below normal with so much uncertainty and poor continuity displayed by the guidance. && Aviation /19z Saturday through Thursday/... at kclt and elsewhere...the latest computer models have slowed down the progression of low clouds and precipitation associated with the low coming out of the Gulf. While the ceilings will gradually fall during the forecast period...only VFR ceilings are expected through 18 UTC sun. Winds will be light out of the east to east-northeast this afternoon...backing a little more to the north tonight and Sun morning. The exception is kavl where the winds will be light out of the southeast today...nearly calm tonight...and southeast again on sun. Outlook...cloud ceilings will lower more quickly Sunday afternoon as rain spreads across the area. MVFR conditions expected most of the afternoon. IFR ceilings and MVFR fog are still expected to develop Sunday night...lasting into Tuesday. Conditions may not improve much on Wednesday as a wedge of cool moist air persists over the region. && Gsp watches/warnings/advisories... Georgia...none. NC...none.
