AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE CHARLESTON SC
156 PM EDT THU SEP 13 2007

.SYNOPSIS...
A SURFACE FRONT WILL REMAIN NEARLY STATIONARY THROUGH THE REGION
TODAY...THEN LIFT NORTH OF THE AREA TONIGHT AND FRIDAY AS ATLANTIC
HIGH PRESSURE STRENGTHENS OFF THE SOUTH CAROLINA AND GEORGIA COAST.
ATLANTIC HIGH PRESSURE WILL WEAKEN SATURDAY...ALLOWING A COLD FRONT
TO PUSH THROUGH THE REGION LATE SATURDAY OR SATURDAY NIGHT. STRONG
HIGH PRESSURE WILL THEN BUILD IN FROM THE NORTH THROUGH THE MIDDLE
OF NEXT WEEK.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 PM THIS EVENING/...
A NEARLY STATIONARY FRONTAL BOUNDARY HAS BECOME RATHER DIFFUSE AS
IT EXTENDS WSW TO ENE ACROSS NORTHERN PORTIONS OF THE FORECAST
AREA THIS MORNING.

LOW STRATUS IN PLACE ACROSS MANY AREAS EARLIER THIS MORNING
CONTINUES TO LIFT. MEANWHILE...CONVECTIVE TEMPERATURES WHICH ARE
IN THE MID 80S ARE NOT TOO FAR FROM BEING MET IN MANY LOCATIONS. THE
PARTLY TO MOSTLY CLOUDY SKIES THAT ARE IN PLACE ARE TAKING ON MORE
OF A CONVECTIVE LOOK WITH BUILDING TOPS AND EXPECT THE FIRST
CELLS TO DEVELOP AROUND MIDDAY. THE CONVECTION SHOULD BECOME
NUMEROUS IN COVERAGE THIS AFTERNOON...ESPECIALLY NEAR AND SOUTH
OF THE STALLED BOUNDARY. FOCUS FOR CONVECTION WILL BE ALONG THE FRONT...
DIFFERENTIAL HEATING BOUNDARIES AND LINGERING OUTFLOW BOUNDARIES
FROM PREVIOUS CONVECTION.

MODERATE INSTABILITY WILL BE IN PLACE THIS AFTERNOON...WITH
MULTICELLULAR STORMS EXPECTED TO BECOME LINEAR AND PROPAGATE SOUTH
AND EAST LATE THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING. HEAVY RAINFALL WITH
LOCALIZED FLOODING IS ONCE AGAIN A CONCERN...AS PRECIPITABLE WATER
VALUES APPROACH 2.25 INCHES WITH STORM MOTIONS ONLY AROUND 10-12
KT. HAVE INCLUDED MENTION OF HEAVY RAINFALL IN THE GRIDS/FORECAST
FOR THE AFTERNOON/EARLY EVENING PERIOD AS WELL AS CONTINUED
MENTION IN THE HWO. SOME STORMS MAY BECOME STRONG WITH GUSTY WINDS
ALSO POSSIBLE.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 PM THIS EVENING THROUGH FRIDAY NIGHT/...
THE WEAK FRONTAL BOUNDARY IS EXPECTED TO LIFT BACK NORTHWARD THROUGH
THE FORECAST AREA TONIGHT AND FRIDAY AS HIGH PRESSURE STRENGTHENS
OVER THE WESTERN ATLANTIC. THE NEXT COLD FRONT WILL BEGIN TO
APPROACH THE REGION FROM THE NORTHWEST FRIDAY NIGHT. AS FOR SENSIBLE
WEATHER...WILL KEEP RAIN CHANCES IN THE FORECAST THROUGH THE PERIOD
GIVEN PROXIMITY OF FRONTAL BOUNDARY TO THE CWA...WITH HIGHEST
PROBABILITIES DURING THE AFTERNOON AND EVENING HOURS FRIDAY. LOW
TEMPERATURES ARE EXPECTED TO BOTTOM OUT IN THE LOWER 70S...WITH
HIGHS FRIDAY TOPPING OUT IN THE UPPER 80S.

&&

.LONG TERM /SATURDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
DEEP MOISTURE AND PERIODS OF SHOWERS AND TSTMS WILL BE ON TAP SAT
AS A COLD FRONT MOVES THROUGH THE REGION. WITH PRECIPITABLE WATER
VALUES OVER 2 INCHES...HEAVY RAINFALL WILL BE THE MAIN HAZARD. WILL
SHOW THE HIGHEST POPS ACROSS OUR SE GA AND COASTAL SC AREAS SAT AS
THE FRONT PUSHES THROUGH.

A NORTH/NORTHEAST FLOW WILL DEVELOP BEHIND THE FRONT AND PERSIST
INTO THE MIDDLE OF NEXT WEEK AS A STRONG AREA OF HIGH PRES BUILDS
INTO THE NERN CONUS AND RIDGES DOWN THE ERN SEABOARD. CHANCES OF
RAINFALL DIMINISH SIGNIFICANTLY ONCE THIS OCCURS...ESPECIALLY ACROSS
OUR INLAND SC ZONES WHERE THE LEAST MOISTURE IS EXPECTED. COASTAL
AREAS...ESPECIALLY ACROSS SE GA...WILL HAVE THE BEST CHANCE OF
SEEING SOME SHOWERS MUCH OF THE PERIOD DUE TO THE BETTER MOISTURE
AND SFC CONVERGENCE.

TEMPS WILL BE NEAR TO EVEN SLIGHTLY ABOVE NORMAL FRI/SAT BEFORE
DROPPING BELOW NORMAL SUN-WED. LOWS IN THE LOWER 60S ARE EXPECTED
MON-WED.

&&

.AVIATION /18Z THURSDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...
RECENT RADAR TRENDS SHOW SHOWER AND SCATTERED THUNDERSTORM
DEVELOPMENT ACROSS THE AREA. THIS MAY LEAD TO MVFR CONDITIONS
THIS AFTERNOON FOR BOTH THE CHS AND SAV TERMINALS. EXPECT THE BULK
OF THE ACTIVITY TO END IN THE EVENING HOURS. WINDS ARE EXPECTED TO
BECOME LIGHT AND VARIABLE AT BOTH TERMINALS TONIGHT. DESPITE CLOUD
COVER...A MOIST SFC SHOULD ALLOW FOR REDUCED VSBYS TO MVFR
CONDITIONS...WITH THE LOWEST VSBYS EXPECTED AT THE SAV TERMINAL.
SOUNDINGS ALSO SUGGEST MVFR CIGS AND FSI VALUES IN THE LOW 20S.

EXPECT WINDS TO BECOME SOUTHERLY AT BOTH TERMINALS TOMORROW
MORNING AND INCREASE IN SPEED AS THE PRESSURE GRADIENT TIGHTENS
ALONG A FRONT. SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ARE POSSIBLE LATE IN THE
TAF PERIOD BUT WERE NOT INTRODUCED DUE TO UNCERTAINTY IN TIME OF
ARRIVAL.

EXTENDED AVIATION OUTLOOK...HIGHER THAN NORMAL CHANCES OF
SHRA/TSRA INTO SAT COULD PRODUCE PERIODIC MVFR/IFR CONDITIONS AT
BOTH TERMINALS...WITH POTENTIAL FOR NIGHTTIME/EARLY MORNING FOG
AND LOW CIGS AS WELL.

&&

.MARINE...
OUTSIDE OF SHOWER AND THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY...TRANQUIL
CONDITIONS WITH WINDS AOB 15 KNOTS AND SEAS AOB 3 FEET EXPECTED TO
PREVAIL THROUGH SATURDAY.

IN THE WAKE OF A STRONG COLD FRONT...WINDS AND SEAS SHOULD INCREASE
SIGNIFICANTLY SATURDAY NIGHT AND SUNDAY AND THEN BE MAINTAINED
THROUGH AT LEAST MID WEEK. QUITE LIKELY THAT SMALL CRAFT EXERCISE
CAUTIONS WILL BE NEEDED STARTING SUNDAY...WITH THE POSSIBILITY OF
SMALL CRAFT ADVISORIES.

&&

.TIDES/COASTAL FLOODING...
A STRONG AREA OF HIGH PRES BUILDING IN FROM THE N BEGINNING SAT
NIGHT AND PERSISTING INTO THE MIDDLE OF NEXT WEEK WILL ALLOW FOR A
PROLONGED NE SURGE EVENT. THUS...THERE IS THE POTENTIAL FOR HIGH SURF...
BEACH EROSION...COASTAL FLOODING AND AN ENHANCED CHANCE FOR RIP
CURRENTS. THESE THREATS ARE ADDRESSED IN THE LATEST HWO.

&&

.CHS WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
GA...NONE.
SC...NONE.
MARINE...NONE.
