AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE CHARLESTON SC
1020 PM EST MON NOV 20 2006

...MAJOR COASTAL STORM DEVELOPING OFF THE SC/GA COAST...
...HIGH WINDS COULD IMPACT BRIDGE TRAVEL TUE MORNING...

.SHORT TERM /TONIGHT/...EVNG WATER VAPOR IMGRY SHOWS A HIGHLY
ANOMALOUS STRONG UPR TROF DIGGING ACROSS THE SERN U.S. WITH THE
CLOUD SHIELD OFF THE SE COAST EXHIBITING A CLASSIC BAROCLINIC LEAF
APPEARANCE. UNDER THE BAROCLINIC LEAF...COASTAL CYCLOGENESIS IS
UNDERWAY WITH LOW PRES NOTED ABOUT 125 MILES EAST OF TYBEE ISLAND
GA. SFC PRESSURES NEAR THE CENTER OF THE LOW HAVE DROPPED ABOUT 2MB
IN THE PAST SEVERAL HOURS AND SFC PRESSURES ACROSS THE NC/SC/GA
PIEDMONT HAVE RISEN ABOUT 2-3MB. THIS HAS PRODUCED A 3-5MB PRESS
GRADIENT ALONG THE SC COAST OVR THE LAST HOUR OR SO. WINDS HAVE
RESPONDED AND ARE NOW GUSTING 35 MPH AT MANY COASTAL OBSERVATION
STATIONS FROM TYBEE ISLAND NE ALONG THE SC COAST. THE PRES GRADIENT
WL CONTINUE TO TIGHTEN INTO TUE AS LOW PRESS DEEPENS AND STRONG HIGH
PRES BUILDS E TO THE APPALACHIAN CHAIN. IT SHOULD BE NOTED THAT THE
SFC LOW IS ALREADY A FEW MB LOWER THAN WHAT ANY OF THE 12Z/18Z MODEL
SUITE PREDICTED.

CONDITIONS WL CONTINUE TO DETERIORATE ACROSS THE RGN OVRNGT AS THE
LOW PRESS DEEPENS INTO A FORMIDABLE COASTAL STORM AS IT MEANDERS
WELL E OF THE SAVANNAH RIVER ENTRANCE. THE LATEST RUC OUTPUT
SUGGESTS A DEFORMATION ZONE WL SET UP ACROSS COASTAL NC AND SC
TOWARDS SUNRISE AS THE UPR TROF ALOFT BECOMES CUT OFF. SATL TRENDS
SUGGEST THIS PROCESS IS ALREADY UNDERWAY WITH CLOUD TOPS COOLING OFF
THE SC COAST SO EXPECT PCPN TO BLOSSOM ACROSS THE COAST LTE TNGT AS
MID-LVL FRONTOGENETICAL FORCING IN THE DEFORMATION ZONE INCRS. WL
MAKE A FEW MINOR CHANGES IN THE FCST TO BETTER TIME THE BEST CHANCES
RAIN TNGT BUT AT THIS POINT ITS PROBABLY NOT A GOOD IDEA TO CHANGE
THE OVRNGT POP FCST TOO MUCH UNTIL MORE DEFINITIVE PCPN TRENDS CAN
BE ESTABLISHED. IT IS POSSIBLE THAT MUCH OF INTERIOR SE GA WL REMAIN
DRY TNGT. FCST SOUNDINGS STILL SUGGEST LTL IN THE WAY OF P-TYPE
PROBLEMS WL OCCUR WITH THE ONSET OF PCPN. ALTHOUGH MOST OF THE
COLUMN WL REMAIN BELOW FREEZING...THE NEAR SFC LAYER /SFC-2000 FT/
JUST LOOKS TOO WARM TO SUPPORT ANY FROZEN HYDROMETERS.

WINDS WILL CONTINUE TO INCR TNGT...ESP AT THE COAST. WINDS NEAR THE
COAST ARE ALREADY NEARING WIND ADVISORY CRITERIA BUT AS BNDRY
LYR-950MB WINDS INCR TO NEAR 40-50 KT...SFC WINDS SHOULD RISE INTO
THE 25-35 MPH RANGE BY SUNRISE...ESP AT THE COAST. WE ARE BECMG
INCREASINGLY CONCERNED THAT HIGH WINDS JUST OFF THE SFC COULD
SEVERELY IMPACT BRIDGE OPERATIONS TUE MRNG...PARTICULARLY ON
ELEVATED BRIDGES SUCH AS THE RAVENEL BRIDGE IN CHARLESTON. A HIGH
WIND WARNING MAY EVENTUALLY BE NEEDED FOR ALL COASTAL COUNTIES.
&&

.MARINE...WINDS AND SEAS ARE QUICKLY BUILDING ACROSS THE WTRS. GALES
ARE NOW BEING REPORTED AT 41004 AND THE CAPERS MID-SHELF BUOY WITH
GUSTS TO NEAR GALE FORCE AT 41008. 00Z RUC GUIDANCE SHOWS BNDRY
LYR-950MB WINDS INCRG TO 40-50 AFT MIDNIGHT WITH 45-60 KT ACROSS THE
GA OFFSHORE WTRS. MODIFIED SOUNDINGS SUGGEST A LARGE PERCENTAGE OF
THIS SHOULD MIX TO THE SFC. PLAN ON INCRG WINDS TO 35 KT WITH GUSTS
TO 40 KT OVR THE GA NEARSHORE WATERS...30-40 KT WITH STORM FORCE
GUSTS TO 50 KT ACROSS THE SC NEARSHORE WATERS AND BRING WINDS UP TO
35-45 KT WITH GUSTS TO 55 KT OVR THE GA OFFSHORE WATERS. VERY
DANGEROUS MARINE CONDITIONS WL OCCUR...PARTICULARLY ACROSS THE
EASTERN HALF OF THE GA OFFSHORE WATERS WHERE THE WRN WALL OF THE
GULF STREAM CURRENTLY RESIDES. GALE AND STORM WARNINGS WL REMAIN BUT
WL UPGRADE THE GALE WARNING TO A STORM WARNING FOR THE SC NEARSHORE
WATERS.
&&

.AVIATION...DEVELOPING LOW OVER COASTAL WATERS IS EXPECTED TO CREATE
DETERIORATING WEATHER CONDITIONS FOR BOTH TERMS LATER TONIGHT/EARLY
MORNING. EXPECT MOISTURE AND ASSOCIATED CLOUDS TO WRAP AROUND LOW
LEADING TO MVFR CONDITIONS BY 06Z. WIND GUSTS REMAIN A HAZARD AS
DEEPENING LOW LEADS TO A STRONGER PRESSURE GRADIENT OVER THE
CAROLINAS AND CAA ALOFT ALLOWS MIXING OF STRONGER WINDS TO THE
SFC. WINDS SHOULD INCREASE TO 15 KNOTS WITH GUSTS UP TO 30 KNOTS AT
CHS AND 25 KNOTS AT SAV OVER NIGHT. AS DEEP LAYER OF MOISTURE WRAPS
AROUND LOW...EXPECT LIGHT RAIN TO DEVELOP AROUND 08Z THRU THE REST
OF THE TAF PERIOD.  MOS HINTS AT LOWERING CLOUD CEILINGS AND VSBYS
IN THE AFTERNOON BUT GIVEN SOME UNCERTAINTY OF RAIN INTENSITY
TOMORROW AFTERNOON...HAVE DECIDED TO KEEP CEILINGS AT LOW END MVFR
CONDITIONS TOWARDS THE END OF TAF PERIOD.
&&

.LAKE WINDS...WINDS ALREADY 20-25 KT ON THE OPEN LAKE WATERS BASED
ON OBSERVATIONS OUT OF THE CHARLESTON HARBOR. UNFORTUNATELY THE ONE
SENSOR WE HAVE ON THE SANTEE DAM IS NOT COMPLETELY SAMPLING THE WIND
SINCE WINDS ARE FROM THE NE /FROM OVER LAND/. STEEP LAPSE RATES AND
WINDS OF 40-45 KT IN THE BNDRY LYR SUGGEST SFC WNDS OF AT LEAST
30-35 KT. WL UPGRADE THE LAKE WIND ADVISORY TO A LOW-END HIGH WIND
WARNING. EXPECT WAVES IN THE OPEN WATERS TO REACH 4-5 FT AT TIMES...
PARTICULARLY ON THE SRN END OF THE LAKE. THIS MAY RESULT IN MINOR
LAKE FLOODING...EROSION AND POSSIBLE PIER/DOCK DAMAGE ON THE SRN END
OF THE LAKE...INCLUDING THE COMMUNITY OF PINOPOLIS.
&&

.COASTAL IMPACTS...SEAS AT 41004 HAVE RISEN TO AT LEAST 10 FT. SEAS
WL BUILD TO AT LEAST 8-10 FT IN THE 0-20 NM STRETCH BY SUNRISE AS
GALE FORCE WINDS WITH STORM FORCE GUSTS DVLP. DESPITE OFFSHORE
WINDS...BACKSWELL WITH 8-9 SEC PERIODS WL LIKELY PRODUCE
CONSIDERABLE BEACH EROSION...ESPECIALLY IN EROSION PRONE AREAS SUCH
AS TYBEE ISLAND...HUNTING ISLAND...EDISTO BEACH...FOLLY BEACH AND
WILD DUNES. WL GO AHEAD AND ISSUE A HIGH SURF ADVISORY.
