BEACH EROSION POSSIBLE NEAR THE TIMES OF HIGH TIDE THURSDAY
MORNING.

STRONG HIGH PRESSURE WILL CONTINUE TO THE NORTH TONIGHT AS A
DEVELOPING LOW PRESSURE TROUGH FORMS ACROSS THE NEARBY ATLANTIC
WATERS. AS A RESULT...STRONG NORTHEAST WINDS WILL CONTINUE
TONIGHT INTO INTO THURSDAY.

WINDS WILL AVERAGE 20 TO 30 KNOTS ACROSS THE COASTAL WATERS
THROUGH TONIGHT...AND AROUND 20 KNOTS THURSDAY. A SLIGHTLY LESS
FAVORABLE FETCH AND WIND TRAJECTORY WILL KEEP THE HIGHEST SEAS
WELL OFF THE COAST AND SOUTH OF THE AREA. A COMBINATION OF WIND
AND SWELL WAVE WILL RANGE FROM 5 TO 7 FT THROUGH TONIGHT...EXCEPT
CLOSER TO 4 FT NEAR THE IMMEDIATE COAST.

THE STRONG WINDS COMBINED WITH THE LARGE SEAS WILL CREATE VERY
ROUGH SURF CONDITIONS ALONG THE BEACHES OF COASTAL SOUTH
CAROLINA. THIS WILL LIKELY RESULT IN SOME BEACH EROSION...
ESPECIALLY NEAR THE TIMES OF HIGH TIDE THURSDAY MORNING.

EAST AND NORTHEAST FACING BEACHES WILL BE THE MOST SUSCEPTIBLE TO
HIGHER SURF AND BEACH EROSION. THIS INCLUDES...BUT IS NOT LIMITED
TO...FOLLY BEACH...AND THE WILD DUNES AREA ON ISLE OF PALMS.

THERE IS AN ENHANCED RISK FOR RIP CURRENTS THROUGH THURSDAY.

ALSO...TIDE LEVELS ARE ON THE RISE...AND WILL CONTINUE TO BE
MONITORED FOR POTENTIAL SHALLOW COASTAL FLOODING...ESPECIALLY
EARLY THURSDAY MORNING.

CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED TO GRADUALLY IMPROVE LATE THURSDAY AND

...COLDER AIR ENTERS THE REGION TONIGHT...
...WINTRY PRECIPITATION POSSIBLE FAR INLAND TOMORROW NIGHT...

.SHORT TERM /TODAY THROUGH THURSDAY/...SFC HIGH PRES AND UPR LVL
RIDGING SHIFTING INTO THE ATLC AS A COLD FRONT PROGRESSES OVER THE
APPALACHIANS THIS MRNG AND WILL SLOWLY MOVE TWD THE COAST TDA.
THICKENING CLOUD COVER ALONG WITH SHIFTING WINDS FROM SW TO W WILL
KEEP A SMALL DIURNAL FROM THIS MRNG/S LOW TEMPERATURES. MIN TEMPS
THIS MRNG IN THE UPR 50S TO ARND 60 WILL ONLY RISE TO THE MID AND
UPR 60S AS CAA BEGINS BY LATE THIS AFTN. MODEST LIFT WITHIN A
DEEPENING MOISTURE COLUMN MAY MAKE FOR A FEW SHOWERS MAINLY LATE
MRNG THRU THE AFTN HOURS SO WILL ONLY KEEP 20-30 POPS GOING.

FRONT WILL BE OFFSHORE BY THIS EVE AS CAA COMMENCES...BRINGING A
SIGNIFICANT DROP IN TEMPERATURES FOR THE REGION STARTING TNGT.
CLOUDS WILL STILL BE PREVALENT TMRW NIGHT BEHIND THE FNT AND IN
ADVANCE OF HIGH PRES MOVG IN QUICKLY BEHIND THE FNT. TEMPS WILL DROP
TO THE UPR 30S TO ARND 40 ACRS THE AREA TNGT. ANY LINGERING PRECIP
BEHIND THE FRONT WILL TRANSITION TO AN OVERRUNNING NATURE AS A
COASTAL TROUGH SLOWLY DEVELOPS LATE TNGT INTO TMRW AND HIGH PRES
WEDGES SWWD ALONG THE LEE SLOPES OF THE APPALACHIANS.

WITH THE COLD HIGH PRES WEDGE SETTING UP...MAX TEMPS TMRW WILL BE
WELL BELOW NORMAL...ONLY HITTING THE UPR 40S. THE COASTAL TROUGH
WILL CONTINUE TO DEVELOP DUE TO INCOMING UPR LVL SUPPORT IN THE FORM
OF H85 AND H7 TROF AXES...BUT ANY PRECIP WOULD BE HELD TO FAR SRN
PORTIONS OF THE CWFA AND IMMEDIATE COASTAL AREAS.

TOMORROW NIGHT BECOMES THE TRICKIEST PART OF THE FCST WITH THE
MODELS AND CLIMATOLOGY PLAYING MAJOR PARTS. ISENTROPIC LIFT WILL
BEGIN IN EARNEST FROM S TO N ACRS THE CWFA AS THE COASTAL TROUGH
DEVELOPS FURTHER WHILE WEDGING HIGH PRES INLAND TAKES A FIRM HOLD.
MODEL SOUNDINGS AND TIME HEIGHTS DEPICT A SHALLOW FREEZING LAYER
BETWEEN 950-980MB IN FAR INLAND PORTIONS OF THE CWFA...ALONG AND
INLAND FROM A MONCKS CORNER TO WALTERBORO TO SYLVANIA LINE. COMBINE
THIS WITH A MODEST DRY LAYER ALOFT AND THE INCOMING LIFT SATURATING
THE LOWEST LEVELS MAKING FOR DIABATIC COOLING AND WETBULB
EFFECTS...A FEW HOURS OF FREEZING RAIN IS CERTAINLY NOT OUT OF THE
QUESTION IN THE HOURS BEFORE SUNRISE THU MRNG. MODELS ARE NOT THAT
IMPRESSIVE WITH DEPICTING THE FROZEN PRECIP BUT CLIMATOLOGY TELLS
THAT THE MODELS DO NOT PERFORM WELL WITH SHALLOW COLD AIR/WEDGE
EVENTS AND UNDERPLAY THE AMOUNT OF SHALLOW COLD AIR ALONG WITH THE
EFFECTS OF ISENTROPIC LIFT WITH DIABATIC COOLING. WOULD RATHER ERR
ON THE SIDE OF CAUTION AND HAVE INCLUDED CHC RAIN OR FRZ RAIN FOR
EARLY THU MRNG. DO NOT FEEL THERE WOULD BE ANY SIGNIFICANT ICING
ATTM DUE TO THE RECENT WARM GROUND TEMPS BUT DECENT CAA FOR 24-36
HOURS AHEAD OF SAID POSSIBLE FRZ RAIN MAY SAY OTHERWISE. WILL ADD
ITS MENTION TO THE HWO AND ISSUE AN SPS. TEMPS WILL DROP DOWN TO THE
32-34 DEGREE RANGE FAR INLAND WITH TEMPS IN THE MID AND UPR 30S
NEARER THE COAST.

AS THE COASTAL TROUGH DEVELOPS INTO A CLOSED LOW THU...WARM AIR
BEING WRAPPED AROUND THE SYSTEM WILL ERODE OUT THE COLDER AIR BUT
KEEP CLOUDS/RAIN OVER THE AREA. HAVE UPPED POPS INTO THE LIKELY
CATEGORY BUT KEPT MAX TEMPS AT BAY...RISING ONLY TO THE MID/UPR 40S.
&&

.LONG TERM /THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH MONDAY/...AS THE COASTAL LOW
PULLS AWAY THU NIGHT...ITS ASSOCIATED PRECIP WILL DRAW AWAY ALONG
WITH IT SO HAVE TRENDED POPS DOWN TO SLGT CHC. LOW CLOUDS REMAINING
IN PLACE WILL KEEP TEMPS FROM REACHING THE FREEZING MARK...ONLY
HITTING THE MID AND UPR 30S. SKIES WILL CLEAR OUT FRI AND SAT AS
HIGH PRES RETURNS...BUT ANOTHER REINFORCING SHOT OF COLDER AIR WILL
KEEP MAX TEMPS AROUND NORMAL THROUGH THE WEEKEND. MIN TEMPS SAT MRNG
THROUGH MON MRNG WILL REMAIN AROUND THE FREEZING MARK...WITH SUNDAY
MRNG/S TEMPS DROPPING TO THE UPR 20S WELL INLAND. NEXT CHC FOR RAIN
COMES MON AS ANOTHER FRONTAL BOUNDARY APPROACHES THE AREA.
&&

.MARINE...CDFNT IS ON TARGET TO CLR THE COAST THIS AFTN. XPCT WINDS
TO SURGE SOMEWHAT LTE THIS AFTN AND INTO EVNG BUT THE STRONGEST
SURGE WL WAIT UNTIL AFT MIDNGT AS INTENSE CAA OVERSPREADS THE AREA
FROM THE N IN THE WAKE OF H8 FNT. STRONG SCA CONDITIONS APPEAR
LIKELY OVR THE NEARSHORE WTRS INCLUDING CHARLESTON HARBOR BEGINNING
THIS EVNG WITH MIXING PROFILES FAVORABLE FOR GALE FORCE WNDS ACROSS
THE GA OFFSHORE WTRS. WTR TEMPS E OF SPAG1 OUT TO TYBG1 REMAIN IN
THE LWR 70S THUS THIS AREA WL LIKELY SEE THE BEST CHANCES FOR
SUSTAINED GALES. THE SCA WL BE UPGRADED TO A GALE WRNG FOR AMZ374
WITH THIS PKG. THE SCA WL CONTINUE FOR THE REMAINING AREAS BUT WE
ARE STILL CONCERNED THAT FREQUENT GALE FORCE GUSTS COULD OCCUR
ACROSS THE NEARSHORE WTRS LATE TNGT. WHILE MIXING WL LIKELY BE
SOMEWHAT CURTAILED IN THESE AREAS WITH WTR TEMPS IN THE LWR-MID
50S...A STRONG ISALLOBARIC RESPONSE DUE TO ANTICIPATED STRONG PRES
RISES IN THE WAKE OF THE H8 FNT COULD BRING SEVERAL HRS OF GUSTS OF
35-40 KT. CONFIDENCE IS NOT HIGH ENOUGH ATTM TO UPGRADE THE SCA TO A
GALE WRNG ACROSS THE NEARSHORE WTRS...BUT WL DEFER THIS DECISION TO
THE DAY SHIFT AS THEY WILL HAVE A BETTER HANDLE ON POST FRONTAL
TRENDS BY THIS AFTN. EITHER WAY HAZARDOUS MARINE CONDITIONS ARE
XPCTD AND MARINERS ARE URGED TO REMAIN IN PORT FOR THE NXT SEVERAL
DAYS.

HAZARDOUS CONDITIONS WILL PERSIST INTO WED-THU AS A STRONG WEDGE OF
HIGH PRES DVLPS ACROSS THE PIEDMONT AREAS. WNDS WL LIKELY DROP BELOW
GALE FORCE BY WED AFTN ACROSS THE OFFSHORE WTRS HWVR STRONG SCA
CONDITIONS WL REMAIN ACROSS THE ENTIRE MARINE AREA. HOW MUCH WINDS
/AND SEAS/ DROP DURING THIS TIME PERIOD WL DEPEND HEAVILY ON HOW
STRONG COLD AIR DAMMING BECOMES IN THE LEE OF THE APPALACHIANS.
MODELS ALMOST ALWAYS UNDERESTIMATE THE ORIENTATION AND DEPTH OF THE
COLD AIR DAMMING WEDGE PARTICULARLY THIS OF YEAR WHICH USUALLY
RESULTS IN A MUCH TIGHTER PRES GRADIENT ALONG THE COAST AND A
COASTAL TROF MUCH FARTHER OUT TO SEA. WL TREND SLGTLY HIGHER WITH
WNDS AND SEAS DURING THIS TIME...BUT FUTURE ADJUSTMENTS WL LIKELY BE
NEEDED. THIS SITUATION COULD EASILY BECOME A PINCHED GRADIENT GALE
EVENT SOMEWHERE ACROSS OUR MARINE AREA SO STAY TUNED. THANKS
JAX/ILM/OPC FOR THE COORDINATION ON THE GALES THIS MRNG.

.AVIATION /06Z-06Z/...KCLX VWP SHOWS 30-35 KT AT 1000 FT WITH SFC

WHICH WINDS SHOULD BEGIN TO INCR THUS LESSING THE RISK FOR LLWS.
CDFNT ON TARGET TO CROSS THE TERMINALS...AROUND 15Z AT KSAV AND 16Z

DROPPING TO AROUND 5000-6000 FT. POST FRONTAL CAA IS QUITE EXTENSIVE
WITH THE FRONTAL SFC EXHIBITING ANAFRONTAL CHARACTERISTICS. THIS WL
KEEP OVC CONDITIONS GOING THROUGH THE REMAINDER OF THE FCST PERIOD.
SPOTTY SHOWERS WILL BE AROUND THIS AFTN BUT CONFIDENCE ON ANY
IMPACTING EITHER TERMINALS REMAINS TOO LOW TO WARRANT A PREVAILING
