Area forecast discussion, Mar 2, 1:13 AM EST, 3 hours 27 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION...UPDATED
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE CHARLESTON SC
113 AM EST FRI MAR 2 2007
.UPDATE...HAVE UPDATED ALL PRODUCTS TO REFLECT THE LATEST TORNADO
WATCH FROM SPC NUMBER 52. SEVERE THREAT AGAIN LOOKS TO BE
INCREASING ACROSS THE REGION AS THE WARM FRONT SURGES NORTHWARD
AND DEWPOINTS RISE INTO THE MID AND UPPER 60S. SFC BASED
INSTABILITY IS INCREASING WITH TIME WHILE MID-LEVEL LAPSE RATES
STEEPEN. CONTINUED 20-30 KT WINDS AT MANY COASTAL SITES WITH GUSTS
AS HIGH AS 38 KT SHOWS THAT THE BL IS VERY WELL MIXED. THEREFORE
DAMAGING WIND GUSTS WILL BE ESPECIALLY LIKELY WITH ANY LINEAR
CONVECTION THAT MOVES THROUGH...WHILE ISOLATED TORNADOES ARE
POSSIBLE WITH EMBEDDED SUPERCELLS.
&&
.PREV DISCUSSION...
/ISSUED 1132 PM EST THU MAR 1 2007/
SHORT TERM /OVERNIGHT/...SFC ANALYSES INDICATE THE WARM FRONT HAS
RECENTLY SHIFTED N OF MOST OF THE CWFA PER WINDS BECOMING SLY AND
TEMPS/DEWPTS RISING QUITE RAPIDLY. LARGE-SCALE ASCENT HAS
TEMPORARILY CUTOFF DUE TO THE WARM FRONTAL FORCING NOW BEING WELL
N OF THE AREA AND THE APPROACHING COLD FRONT STILL OFF TO THE W.
UPDATED POP GRIDS FOR THE NEXT FEW HRS TO ONLY SHOW SCHC TO CHC
SHRA AND TSRA...BUT WITH CATEGORICAL POPS FOR ALL AREAS
THEREAFTER. SEVERE THREAT WILL BE INCREASING RAPIDLY AFTER ABOUT 2 AM
AS THE COLD FRONT MOVES CLOSER AND BEGINS TO TAP INTO AN INCREASINGLY
UNSTABLE HIGH-SHEAR ENVIRONMENT.
MARINE...WINDS AND SEAS HAVE RAPIDLY INCREASED ACROSS THE WATERS
AS THE WARM FRONT DRIFTS N AND STRONG WAA COMMENCES. SEAS AT BUOY
41004 ARE ALREADY UP TO 11 FT WHILE R2 TOWER IN THE OUTER GA
WATERS IS UP TO 8 FT. WINDS SOLIDLY IN THE SMALL CRAFT ADVY RANGE
ARE OCCURRING ACROSS THE WATERS ATTM. GALE CONDITIONS EXPECTED TO
DEVELOP IN A FEW HRS AS THE LLVL JET MAKES ITS CLOSEST APPROACH
AND MIXING DEEPENS. DECIDED TO UPGRADE THE HARBOR TO A GALE SUCH
THAT ALL WATERS ARE NOW UNDER A GALE WARNING FOR THE OVERNIGHT
HRS. WINDS HAVE BEEN GUSTING TO 32 KT AT THE CHS AIRPORT WITH
GUSTS TO 29 KT ALREADY SHOWING UP AT BEAUFORT. THESE SHOULD
INCREASE AS THE LLVL JET APPROACHES. ROUGH CONDITIONS IN THE
HARBOR ARE EXPECTED.
ALSO ADDED MENTION OF PATCHY 1 SM SEA FOG TO THE SC NEARSHORE
AREAS AND THE HARBOR BASED ON A REPORT FROM THE CHARLESTON PILOT
BOATS OF RECENTLY FORMED SEA FOG. THIS IS DUE TO MUCH MOISTER AIR
ADVECTING ACROSS THE COOL SHELF WATERS.
AVIATION /04Z-24Z/...WARM FRONT HAS LIFTED N OF THE TERMINALS AND
STRONG S-SW WINDS WILL CONTINUE IN ITS WAKE. EVEN THOUGH SFC WINDS
WILL REMAIN AT 15-20 KT...WIND SHEAR WILL PERSIST IN THE TAFS
OVERNIGHT WITH STRONG LLJ ACROSS THE AREA INTO FRI MORNING.
LOW STRATUS TO ALSO PERSIST AT BOTH TERMINALS THRU 13-14Z...WITH
PREVAILING IFR CIGS DURING THIS TIME.
MEANWHILE...SQUALL LINE ACROSS CENTRAL GA AT THIS TIME IS ABOUT 2
HOURS AHEAD OF THE MODEL GUIDANCE...WHICH WOULD PUT ITS ASSOCIATED
CONVECTION INTO KCHS AND KSAV AROUND A FEW HOURS EITHER SIDE OF
DAYBREAK. HAVE INCLUDED EVEN STRONGER WIND GUSTS AND TSRA DURING
THIS TIME.
IMPROVING WX TO DEVELOP IN WAKE OF SQUALL LINE AND TRAILING COLD
FRONT WHICH WILL PUSH THRU A FEW HOURS LATER. VFR WX TO RETURN IN
WAKE OF THIS FRONT AROUND 14-15Z.
WINDS...WENT AHEAD AND ALLOWED THE WIND ADVISORY TO EXPIRE FOR
SOUTHERN SOUTH CAROLINA. CONSIDERED KEEPING IT IN PLACE ALONG
COASTAL SECTIONS OF SC BUT DECIDED NOT SINCE MIXING PROFILES ARE
NOT VERY FAVORABLE FOR CRITERIA WINDS OVERNIGHT. LLVL JET IS STILL
QUITE STRONG WITH 925 MB WINDS OF 50-60 KT. IT WILL REMAIN WINDY
OVERNIGHT WITH SOME CONSIDERABLE GUSTS ESPECIALLY NEAR THE COAST.
WILL CONTINUE BEEFY WINDS IN GRIDS AND TEXT PRODUCTS. IN LIEU OF
THE WIND ADVISORY...CONDITIONS ON LAKE MOULTRIE CONTINUE TO
DETERIORATE. LAST CALL TO THE LAKE MARION SENSOR SHOW SE WINDS OF
15-20 KT WITH GUSTS AS HIGH AS 25 KT. AFTER THE WARM FRONT PUSHES
N OF THE LAKE AND IT FALLS SOLIDLY IN THE WARM SECTOR...SHOULD SEE
INCREASING WINDS AND GUSTS. THEREFORE...PUT UP A LAKE WIND
ADVISORY UNTIL 15Z.
HIGH SURF...CURRENT HIGH SURF ADVISORY IN EFFECT STILL LOOKS VERY
REASONABLE. SEAS HAVE BUILT RAPIDLY ACROSS ALL OF OUR WATERS
DURING THE LAST FEW HRS AS THE WARM FRONT LIFTS N AND THE LLVL
JETTING REALLY STARTS IMPACTING THE BL. THE WAVE SENSOR IN THE
SURF ZONE AT FOLLY BEACH INDICATES BREAKERS ALREADY 4-5 FT WHILE
THE CAPERS NEARSHORE BUOY IS ALSO INDICATING SUCH WAVE HEIGHTS.
WAVES WILL TAKE A BIT LONGER TO BUILD ALONG THE GA COAST DUE TO A
MORE PARALLEL SWELL VECTOR...HOWEVER 5 FOOTERS ARE QUITE LIKELY
WITHIN A FEW HRS.
TIDE PREDICTIONS FROM THE GFS EXTRATROPICAL SURGE MODEL KEEP TIDE
HEIGHTS AT FT PULASKI AND CHARLESTON HARBOR BELOW SHALLOW COASTAL
FLOODING CRITERIA THROUGH THE OVERNIGHT. WILL MONITOR TIDES
CLOSELY AS THIS COULD EASILY CHANGE.
