strongwxnc Posted January 7, 2017 Share Posted January 7, 2017 GSP updateFXUS62 KGSP 070030AFDGSPArea Forecast DiscussionNational Weather Service Greenville-Spartanburg SC730 PM EST Fri Jan 6 2017.SYNOPSIS...A low pressure system will lift out of the Northern Gulf of Mexico tonight bringing widespread winter precipitation to the region. As the low moves offshore, a strong arctic surface high will overspread the region late Saturday and persist into early next week, bringing very cold air into the region. Another cold front is expected to approach the Carolinas by the middle of next week, increasing rain chances once again.&&.NEAR TERM /THROUGH SATURDAY/...As of 8 PM, the brief lull in the precip is coming to an end, as additional precip continues to fill in along an axis from eastern Alabama through N Georgia and into western NC. This will overspread the remainder of the forecast area through the next couple of hours. Locations above about 1500', and roughly along and north of an axis from Rutherfordton, to Lincolnton, to Salisbury in NC will be solidly snow, while after an initial bout of rain and perhaps sleet, a transition to snow is expected to occur down to near the I-85 corridor by midnight or so. South of there, considerable uncertainty lingers regarding the timing of a transition, as wet bulb temps from Anderson to Union to Chester SC are lingering near 40 degrees, and there is not expected to be a tremendous push of cold surface air into these areas over the next few hours. In fact we're beginning to get concerned that those areas won't see any significant near-surface cooling until the moisture begins to shift east of the area. We will wait for the event to unfold a little more (and await 00Z guidance) before making any radical changes to the forecast and products, but confidence that the warning will work out over the southern half of the Upstate and northeast GA is beginning to slip. Confidence is higher along the I-85 corridor, but considering the warm nose indicated on special 18Z Raob from KFFC, and the fact that sfc temps are going to need to drop another couple of degrees before the transition to snow occurs, am concerned that initially rain, followed perhaps by sleet, will cut into the snow accums in those areas. Meanwhile, forecast confidence remains high for locations north of the I-85 corridor. Expect there will be some banding overnight with frontogenetical forcing and slant-wise instability developing, so locally higher amounts than the 4-8 inches forecast in these areas will certainly be possible.
