AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE CHARLESTON SC
355 PM EST THU MAR 01 2007

...MODERATE RISK FOR SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS TONIGHT...

.SHORT TERM /TONIGHT/...ONGOING PRECIPITATION HAS HELD THE WARM
SECTOR MAINLY W/SW OF THE FORECAST AREA...WITH THE WARM SECTOR
SURGING NORTH THROUGH MS/AL/NW FL BUT MAKING ONLY SLOW PROGRESS
TOWARD THE E/NE. THUS...CONVECTION HAS REMAINED ELEVATED AND
SUB-SEVERE ACROSS THE REGION. A MORE RECENT SURFACE ANALYSIS SUGGEST
THAT THE BOUNDARY HAD NUDGED INTO IMMEDIATE COASTAL GA/SC
COUNTIES...AND THUNDERSTORMS NEAR THIS BOUNDARY WILL NEED TO NE
CLOSELY MONITORED FOR INTENSIFICATION AND ASSOCIATED ROTATION
THROUGH THE EARLY EVENING. MEANWHILE...STRONGER UPSTREAM
THUNDERSTORMS MAY HOLD TOGETHER SUFFICIENTLY TO PRODUCE MARGINALLY
SEVERE HAIL AS THEY CROSS THE WARM FRONT AND BECOME ELEVATED ACROSS
GA COUNTIES BY EARLY EVENING. HOWEVER...THE THREAT FOR THE MOST
SIGNIFICANT SEVERE WEATHER...TO POSSIBLY INCLUDE DAMAGING
WIND...STRONG TORNADOES AND LARGE HAIL...WILL AWAIT THE ARRIVAL OF
THE MAIN WARM SECTOR...AHEAD OF THE COLD FRONT...DURING THE 9 PM TO
6 AM TIME FRAME. IF THE PROGRESS OF THE WARM FRONT IS DELAYED
FURTHER...THE WINDOW FOR SIGNIFICANT SEVERE WEATHER MAY BEGIN LATER
NARROW FURTHER. OTHERWISE...CATEGORICAL POPS REMAIN IN ORDER THROUGH
TONIGHT.
&&

.LONG TERM /FRIDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/...GUIDANCE IS IN FAIRLY GOOD
AGREEMENT THROUGH THE PERIOD THIS AFTERNOON. THE COLD FRONT
IMPACTING THE REGION TONIGHT...WILL PUSH EASTWARD INTO THE ATLANTIC
FRIDAY MORNING...THEN STALL OUT OFF THE SC/GA COAST FRI AFTERNOON.
SHWR/TSTM ACTIVITY SHOULD END QUICKLY FROM WEST TO EAST IN THE
MORNING AND WILL CONTINUE TO MENTION SLGT CHC/LOW CHC POPS THROUGH
THE MORNING HOURS. AS HIGH PRESSURE BEGINS TO BUILD IN FROM THE WEST
FRI AFTERNOON...EXPECT THAT DRY CONDITIONS WILL PREVAIL ACROSS THE
FORECAST AREA. HIGH PRESSURE WILL CONTINUE TO BUILD INTO THE REGION
FRI NIGHT AND SATURDAY...HOLDING THE STALLED OUT FRONTAL BOUNDARY
FAR ENOUGH OFF THE SC/GA COAST TO PREVENT ANY SHOWERS FROM AFFECTING
THE AREA.

A SECONDARY SHORTWAVE TROUGH AND ASSOCIATED COLD FRONT WILL SHIFT
SOUTHEASTWARD TOWARD THE REGION SAT NIGHT AND SUN. THIS WILL ALLOW A
SFC WAVE TO DEVELOP ALONG THE STALLED OUT FRONTAL BOUNDARY OFF THE
SC/GA COAST. THIS WAVE OF LOW PRESSURE IS EXPECTED TO PUSH
NORTHEASTWARD OFF THE SC/GA COAST SAT NIGHT AND EARLY SUN...WITH
HIGH PRESSURE THEN BUILDING BACK INTO THE REGION SUN AFTERNOON. WILL
MENTION SLGT CHC/LOW CHC POPS BOTH SAT NIGHT AND SUN MORNING...WITH
BEST CHANCES FOR RAIN CLOSER TO THE COAST. THE APPROACHING SHORTWAVE
TROUGH AND PASSAGE OF SECONDARY RE-ENFORCING COLD FRONT SHOULD BE
ENOUGH TO KICK THIS LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM EASTWARD INTO THE ATLANTIC
SUN AFTERNOON...AND WILL KEEP THE FORECAST RAIN FREE.

HIGH PRESSURE WILL CONTINUE TO BUILD INTO THE REGION SUN NIGHT AND
MON...AND WILL REMAIN THE DOMINANT WEATHER FEATURE ACROSS THE SE
CONUS THROUGH THE MIDDLE OF THE UPCOMING WORK WEEK. THEREFORE...WILL
MAINTAIN A RAIN FREE FORECAST SUN NIGHT THROUGH THU.

TEMPERATURES THROUGH THE PERIOD ARE EXPECTED TO RUN NEAR TO SLIGHTLY
BELOW CLIMO. WILL CONTINUE TO MENTION THE POTENTIAL FOR FROST/FREEZE
CONDITIONS IN THE HWO BOTH SUN NIGHT AND MON NIGHT.
&&

.MARINE...UPGRADED REMAINING SCAS TO GALE WARNINGS FOR
AMZ352-354...FROM 7 PM TONIGHT UNTIL 10 AM FRIDAY...AS 950-850 MB
WINDS INCREASE TO 60-70 KNOTS. EVEN WITH THE STABLE MARINE BOUNDARY
LAYER...GALE FORCE GUSTS APPEAR LIKELY OUTSIDE ANY THUNDERSTORMS.
&&

.AVIATION /21Z-18Z/...
ONGOING TAFS WILL CONTINUE DEPICT FEATURING SHOWERS AND A GENERAL
DETERIORATION TOWARD MVFR SHOWERS/THUNDERSTORMS...WITH AN ASSOCIATED
DETERIORATION TO AT LEAST PREVAILING MVFR CONDITIONS...ALONG WITH
CONTINUING LOW LEVEL WIND SHEAR. EXPECT AMENDMENTS THROUGH THE
EVENING/OVERNIGHT TO ACCOUNT FOR INCREASED CONFIDENCE TIMING FOR
THUNDERSTORMS AND ASSOCIATED PERIODS OF IFR OR LOWER CONDITIONS...AS
WELL AS TO ACCOUNT FOR BRIEF PERIODS OF VFR CONDITIONS THAT MAY
OCCUR BETWEEN SHOWERS/THUNDERSTORMS. AROUND THE TIME OF SURFACE COLD
FRONT LATE TONIGHT INTO FRIDAY MORNING...A PERIOD OF IFR CIGS
APPEARS LIKELY AT BOTH TERMINALS.
&&

.COASTAL FLOODING...DUE TO STRONG ONSHORE FLOW...WILL ISSUE A HIGH
SURF ADVISORY FOR TONIGHT/FRIDAY MORNING...AND WILL ISSUE A COASTAL
FLOOD STATEMENT TO ADDRESS BEACH EROSION CONCERNS.

...A SIGNIFICANT SEVERE WEATHER OUTBREAK IS POSSIBLE TONIGHT...

A SIGNIFICANT SEVERE WEATHER OUTBREAK IS POSSIBLE AS THE ENVIRONMENT
BECOMES CONDUCIVE FOR SEVERE WEATHER THIS AFTERNOON AND TONIGHT. AS
A RESULT...THE STORM PREDICTION CENTER HAS PLACED ALL OF SOUTHEAST
SOUTH CAROLINA AND SOUTHEAST GEORGIA IN A MODERATE RISK FOR SEVERE
WEATHER.

A WARM FRONT WILL LIFT NORTH OF SOUTHEAST GEORGIA AND SOUTHEAST
SOUTH CAROLINA THIS EVENING. THE THREAT FOR SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS
WILL INCREASE AS THIS FRONT APPROACHES THEN PASSES ANY GIVEN
LOCATION. THEN...THE THREAT FOR SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS WILL PERSIST
ACROSS THE REGION UNTIL A COLD FRONT PUSHES THROUGH THE REGION LATE
TONIGHT.

WHILE ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS MAY PRODUCE LARGE HAIL DURING THE LATE
AFTERNOON AND EARLY EVENING...THE GREATEST THREAT FOR SEVERE WEATHER
WILL GENERALLY OCCUR BETWEEN 9 PM THIS EVENING AND 6 AM FRIDAY
MORNING. DURING THIS PERIOD...ANY THUNDERSTORM MAY PRODUCE DAMAGING
WIND GUSTS IN EXCESS OF 70 MPH AND LARGE HAIL. ALSO...ISOLATED
TORNADOES WILL BE POSSIBLE. OF PARTICULAR CONCERN...ANY TORNADO THAT
DOES DEVELOP COULD BE STRONG AND LONG-LIVED. BECAUSE THE GREATEST
THREAT FOR TORNADOES WILL EXIST AFTER DARK...INCLUDING THE PRE-DAWN
HOURS...THIS CONSTITUTES AN ESPECIALLY DANGEROUS SEVERE WEATHER
SITUATION.

WITH THE TIMING OF THE SEVERE WEATHER POSSIBLY OCCURRING DURING THE
OVERNIGHT HOURS...HAVING A NOAA WEATHER RADIO ALL HAZARDS RECEIVER
CAN BE A VITAL PART OF AN EMERGENCY PLAN. MAKE SURE TO TURN THE
ALERT FUNCTION ON AS THE ONLY NOTIFICATION YOU MAY RECEIVE ABOUT
OVERNIGHT STORMS IS THE ALERT FROM A NOAA WEATHER RADIO ALL HAZARDS.

LAW ENFORCEMENT AGENCIES...EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT OFFICIALS AND
SPOTTER GROUPS SHOULD MONITOR THE LATEST WEATHER CONDITIONS AND BE
PREPARED FOR POSSIBLE ACTIVATION THIS AFTERNOON AND TONIGHT.

THIS IS A POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS SITUATION. STAY TUNED TO NOAA
