Area forecast discussion, Feb 21, 7:30 PM EST, 56 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION...UPDATED NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE CHARLESTON SC 730 PM EST MON FEB 21 2005 UPDATE...UPDATING PRODUCTS FOR SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH UNTIL 2 AM EST. STRONG LINE OF STORMS CONTINUES TO MOVE EAST SOUTHEAST ACROSS THE AREA. LARGE HAIL AND DAMAGING WIND GUSTS ARE POSSIBLE WITH THIS ACTIVITY. && .SHORT TERM /TONIGHT AND TUESDAY/...CONVECTION TO THE NW OF THE AREA CONTINUES TO PROGRESS E. THE VAST MAJORITY OF THIS ACTIVITY SHOULD STAY WELL N OF THE AREA THIS EVENING. WILL ADD MENTION OF THUNDER INTO THE NRN FRINGE OF THE AREA AS A THUNDERSTORM MAY HOLD TOGETHER LONG ENOUGH TO MAKE IT INTO THE AREA. ADDITIONAL SHORTWAVE ENERGY IS EXPECTED TO APPROACH THE INLAND GEORGIA PORTION LATER TONIGHT. PLAN TO GO WITH 30 POP INLAND AND 20 COASTAL AND POINTS S. CLOUD COVER TO INCREASE AGAIN TONIGHT. TEMPS TO DROP INTO THE 50S OVERNIGHT. MID LVL DRYING EXPECTED LATE TONIGHT INTO TUE. DOWNSLOPE WINDS ON TUE SHOULD ALLOW SKIES TO BREAK OUT PARTICULARLY OVER THE NRN PORTION. WAA WILL ALLOW TEMPS TO CLIMB INTO THE 70S OVER THE ENTIRE AREA AWAY FROM THE COAST. WILL CONFINE PRECIP ON TUE TO THE SRN PORTION OF THE AREA WITH DRIER CONDITIONS N. INSTABILITY LOOKS SUFFICIENT FOR THUNDER MENTION AS WELL. && .LONG TERM /TUESDAY NIGHT THROUGH MONDAY/...OVERALL DRIER MODEL SOLN FOR THE UPCOMING PERIOD THAN PREV RUNS. ONCE THE MODELS DRY THE AREA OUT ON TUE...DEEP MOISTURE WILL TAKE A WHILE TO RETURN. BY WED THE FRNTL BNDRY SHOULD BE S OF THE FORECAST AREA WITH CLOUDY SKIES TO RETURN AS LOW LVL NE FLOW IS OVERRUN BY SW FLOW JUST OFF THE SFC. BETTER CHANCE OF PRECIP FOR MUCH OF THE EXTENDED PERIOD OVER THE SRN PORTION OF THE AREA. WILL HAVE THE HIGHEST POPS THU INTO THU NIGHT WITH LOW PRES EXPECTED TO MOVE E ALONG THE FRNTL BNDRY TO THE S AND ENHANCE LIFT DURING THAT TIME. BNDRY SHOULD SAG FRTHR S TOWARDS THE END OF THE PERIOD. WILL TAPER POPS BACK TO SLIGHT CHANCE FRI NIGHT FOR THE ENTIRE AREA AND LEAVE THEM THERE INTO NEXT WEEK. ANOTHER WAVE MAY TRY TO DEVELOP ALONG THE STALLED FRNTL BNDRY ON MON. HAVE LEANED MORE TOWARDS THE NAM SOLN WITH THE WEDGE HOWEVER STILL WENT WITH A BIT OF A BLEND AS CONFIDENCE IS NOT HIGH IN TIMING AND MOVEMENT OF SMALL SCALE FEATURES. && .MARINE... WE WERE ABLE TO FOLLOW VERY CLOSE PERSISTENCE IN THE SHORT RANGE WITH SW FLOW SLOWLY DIMINISHING AND VEERING TO MORE W COMPONENT BY SUNRISE ON TUE. WILL MAINTAIN MARGINAL SCA FOR OUR 20-60 GEORGIA WATERS WITH CONDITIONS IMPROVING ON TUESDAY AS OFFSHORE FLOW BECOMES LIGHT IN THE AFTN. ENOUGH MODEL DIFFERENCE ON THE 12Z RUN BTWN THE NAM AND GFS IN THE 60 TO 84 HOUR TIME RANGE TO CAUSE CONCERNS. THE WEDGE FRONT SHOULD MAKE IT S OF THE ALTAMAHA ON WED AND THEN A PINCHING OF THE PRES GRADIENT LOOKS LIKE A GOOD BET WITH SFC WAVES EJECTING OFF THE N FLORIDA COAST AS HIGH PRES SETTLES IN THE MID ATLC STATES. CLIMATOLOGICAL SYNOPTIC EVOLUTION SUGGESTS THE NAM MAY BE A BIT MORE BELIEVABLE THAN THE GFS WITH THE WEDGE PATTERN AT THIS STAGE SO WE MAINTAINED A MODERATE N TO NE FLOW FOR MUCH OF THE EXTENDED TIME FRAME WITH SEAS AOA SCA CRITERIA. && .AVIATION... A PCPN-FREE WARM SECTOR ACROSS THE REGION THIS AFTN WITH MAINLY VFR CONDITIONS. MODELS TRY TO SWING SOME REMNANT CONVECTION THRU OVERNIGHT BUT WITH TIMING AND COVERAGE UNCERTAINTIES ABOUND...HAVE OPTED TO LEAVE TEMPOS OR PROBS OUT ON THE 18Z TAFS. GFS HAS BEEN HINTING FOR A FEW RUNS NOW ON SOME IFR CIGS AT SAV TERM LATE TONIGHT BUT DEEP LAYER WLY FLOW MAKES FOR LOW CONFIDENCE. MAINLY WENT WITH PERSISTENCE WITH A CHC FOR SOME LOWER CIGS TUE AM.
