CORRECTED WIND ADVISORY FOR LAKE MOULTRIE ZONE CODE

.PUBLIC...COLD FRONT MOVING INTO EXTREME WRN SOUTH CAROLINA AND
ACROSS NRN GEORGIA. MOST OF THE PRECIP HAS BEEN CONCENTRATED
GENERALLY ALONG AND JUST AHEAD OF THE FRONT. INSTABILITY LOOKS
RATHER LIMITED SO EXPECT JUST SHOWERS IN THE FORCAST TO BE
SUFFICIENT AS THE FRONT MOVES THROUGH THE AREA THIS AFTN. MODELS
INDICATE FRONT SHOULD BE ALONG THE GA COAST EARLY THIS AFTN THEN
PUSH QUICKLY INTO THE WATERS TOWARDS EVENING. BASED ON WINDS
UPSTREAM AND 20 KT ALREADY JUST OFF THE SFC...PLAN TO INCREASE WINDS
TO THE BREEZY CATEGORY WITH 15 TO 25 MPH OVER THE ZONES AND GO WITH
A LAKE WIND ADVISORY FOR LAKE MOULTRIE WITH WINDS OF 20 KT. NO
CHANGES TO TEMP OR POP EXPECTED.

&&

.MARINE...STRONG CDFNT IS ON TARGET TO CROSS THE COASTAL WTRS THIS
AFTN. IMPRESSIVE CAA WL OVERSPREAD THE AREA BEHIND THE FNT WITH THE
STRONGEST THERMAL PACKING HOLDING OFF UNTIL AFT SUNSET. WTR TEMPS
ARE HOLDING IN THE UPR 60S TO LWR 70S THROUGHOUT THE MARINE AREA
EXCEPT MID 60S RIGHT ALONG THE IMMEDIATE COAST. GIVEN THE LVL OF CAA
AND MIXING THAT IS XPCTD TO OCCUR BELIEVE 30-35 KT WNDS APPEAR
LIKELY OVR THE COASTAL WTRS WITH A SOLID 35 KT OVR THE GA OFFSHORE
WATERS. MARINE OBSERVATIONS OUT OF THE WRN GULF HAVE BEEN SHOWING
SOLID GALES FOR MOST OF THE MRNG BEHIND THE FNT WHERE SIMILAR WTR
TEMPS ARE BEING OBSERVED. WL GO AHEAD AND RAISE A GALE WRNG FOR ALL
BUT THE CHARLESTON HARBOR WITH THIS PK. THANKS ILM FOR THE COORD.
