Great snippet on the mesolow from GSP latest disco
Furthermore, guidance has latched onto the development of a
mesolow
in the
lee of the Southern Appalachians with the
mesolow moving
southeast through the Savannah River Valley and into the South
Carolina coastal plain. This would place much of the forecast area
in a very favorable location north of the
mesolow and north of the
bowling ball closed upper low. Here, strong forcing for ascent will
be present in conjunction with convergent low-level
flow, some
component of which will have a
moisture connection to the Atlantic.
This will also foster the development of a notable band of 850mb
frontogenesis across the Upstate and into the North Carolina
Piedmont and portions of the foothills. The result of which has been
a notable southwest trend in
QPF with an uptick along the I-85
corridor. Snow will start as early as tomorrow afternoon across the
mountains as upper
divergence increases as the TPV encroaches on the
Tennessee Valley.
