AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE CHARLESTON SC
645 PM EST SUN DEC 30 2007

.SYNOPSIS...
A COLD FRONT WILL PASS OFF THE COAST TONIGHT WITH HIGH PRES
EXPECTED MON. ANOTHER STRONGER COLD FRONT WILL RACE THROUGH THE
AREA ON TUE...FOLLOWED BY A MUCH COLDER AIRMASS FOR THE MIDDLE TO
END OF THE WEEK.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM MONDAY MORNING/...
AS OF 3 PM...A FRONTAL BOUNDARY IS STILL WELL W OF THE AREA...WITH
A COUPLE OF AREAS OF LOW PRESSURE ALONG IT. LOOKS LIKE THE SRN
MOST LOW OVER CENTRAL GA WILL STRENGTHEN AS IT MOVES NE THROUGH
THE SC MIDLANDS LATER TODAY AS A STRONG UPPER TROUGH OVER THE MID-
MISSISSIPPI VALLEY MOVES E. THE BULK OF THE RAIN TODAY HAS BEEN
ACROSS OUR INLAND AREAS AS EXPECTED. THINK IT WILL TAKE A WHILE
UNTIL THE AFOREMENTIONED LOW PRES PULLS NE OF THE AREA ALLOWING
THE COLD FRONT TO SWEEP EWD THROUGH THE AREA WITH IT/S LEFTOVER
PRECIP SHIELD AND PUSH OFFSHORE BY DAYBREAK MON. WITH THE BEST
DYNAMICS PULLING NE AWAY FROM THE AREA OVERNIGHT...WILL KEEP THE
HIGHEST POPS ACROSS NWRN AREAS WITH THE LOWEST RAIN CHANCES ACROSS
SERN AREAS. WILL STILL KEEP IN SLGT CHC OF THUNDER FOR THE EVE
HOURS WITH SOME RESIDUAL INSTABILITY BUT THUNDER PROSPECTS WILL
DIMINISH QUICKLY THIS EVE. EXPECT CLEARING SKIES FROM W TO E LATE
TONIGHT. TEMPS WILL HAVE A LATE DROP OFF BUT EVENTUALLY END UP IN
THE LOW/MID 40S WELL INLAND TO LOWER TO MID 50S NEAR THE COAST.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 AM MONDAY MORNING THROUGH 6 PM MONDAY/...
HIGH PRESSURE RETURNS ON MON WITH PARTLY CLOUDY SKIES AND DRY
CONDITIONS EXPECTED. WITH A LACK OF COLD AIR ADVECTION HIGHS WILL
REMAIN ABOVE NORMAL WITH UPPER 60S AWAY FROM THE BEACHES.

&&

.LONG TERM /MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY/...
A MUCH COLDER AIRMASS WILL BEGIN TO AFFECT THE AREA MON NIGHT WITH
LOWS IN THE MID 30S INLAND AND LOWER 40S NEAR THE COAST.
HOWEVER...THE COLDEST AIR WILL NOT COME UNTIL LATER TUE WHEN A
REINFORCING COLD FRONT MOVES THROUGH. WE MAY ACTUALLY SEE FALLING TEMPS
DURING THE DAY TUE. IT WILL ALSO BE VERY BREEZY TUE AFTN. THE
STRONGEST COLD AIR ADVECTION LOOKS TO HOLD OFF UNTIL TUE NIGHT
WHEN THE UPPER TROUGH PUSHES THROUGH. EXPECT TEMPS TO DROP INTO
THE 20S EVERYWHERE BUT THE IMMEDIATE COAST WITH MIN WIND CHILLS IN
THE TEENS MOST LOCALES.

THE VERY COLD AIRMASS WILL LINGER OVER THE AREA WED WITH HIGHS
LIKELY NOT GETTING OUT OF THE 40S. A VERY SLOW MODIFICATION TREND
BEGINS THU...WITH TEMPS GETTING BACK TO NEAR NORMAL OVER THE
WEEKEND. THE COLDEST NIGHT LOOKS TO COME WED NIGHT WHEN TEMPS
AROUND 20 DEGREES ARE EXPECTED INLAND...ALTHOUGH WITH LIGHTER
WINDS...WIND CHILL VALUES WILL NOT BE QUITE AS LOW AS TUE NIGHT.

&&

.AVIATION /00Z MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/...
BANDS OF SHOWERS AND A FEW TSTMS WILL APPROACH FROM THE SW THROUGH
EARLY TONIGHT AHEAD OF A COLD FRONT. MAINLY VFR CONDITIONS WITH
OCNL SHRA AND TSRA TO AFFECT THE TERMS UNTIL FROPA AROUND 07Z MON.
MAY EVEN SEE SOME MVFR FOG AROUND THE TIME OF FROPA UNTIL SOME DRIER
AIR BEGINS TO FILTER IN FROM THE W. VFR WX WILL THEN RETURN FOR
THE REMAINDER OF THE TAF PERIOD.

WINDS AT 2K FT ARE 25-35 KT INTO MONDAY MORNING...THUS HAVE
MAINTAINED WIND SHEAR AT BOTH KCHS AND KSAV THROUGH 13Z...WHEN
LOW-LEVEL WIND FIELDS DROP OFF CONSIDERABLY.

EXTENDED AVIATION OUTLOOK...VFR CONDITIONS WILL PREVAIL THROUGH THE
WEEK. WIND SHEAR WILL BE OF CONCERN TUESDAY INTO WEDNESDAY.

&&

.MARINE...
VISIBLE SATELLITE PICTURES AND RECENT REPORT FROM THE CHARLESTON
PILOT BOAT ABOUT 10 NM OUT OF THE HARBOR INDICATE THAT SEA FOG IS
STILL IMPACTING THE CHARLESTON COUNTY WATERS AND A PORTION OF THE
SRN SC WATERS. VSBYS HAVE BEEN DOWN AS LOW AS NEAR ZERO EVEN AS LATE
AS MID AFTN. HOWEVER...WIND FIELDS ARE CONTINUING TO
INCREASE...INSTABILITY IS ALSO INCREASING AND SHOWERS AND A TSTMS
WILL MOVE ACROSS THE COASTAL WATERS THROUGH THE NIGHT. THIS POINTS
TOWARD A DECREASE IN COVERAGE OF THE SEA FOG...ALONG WITH AN
EVENTUAL INCREASE IN VSBYS. THUS WE WILL LET THE DENSE FOG ADVISORY
EXPIRE AT 4 PM...BUT MAINTAIN MENTION OF PATCHY FOG IN THE MARINE
FCST THROUGH EARLY TONIGHT. THERE IS A SMALL CHANCE THAT FOG
RESULTING FROM RAINFALL THIS EVE COULD DEVELOP OVER LAND AND PUSH
BACK INTO THE NEARSHORE COASTAL WATERS PRIOR TO THE COLD FRONT
MOVING THROUGH BY 09Z...BUT PROBABILITY IS TOO LOW TO INCLUDE IN THE
FCST. AFTER THE FRONTAL PASSAGE THERE IS NO RISK OF ANY FOG THROUGH
THE REMAINDER OF THE FCST PERIOD.

SWLY LOW LEVEL JET WILL AFFECT THE WATERS THE FIRST PART OF
TONIGHT...WITH SHIFTING WINDS TO THE W AND NW WITH THE COLD FRONT
OVERNIGHT WITH MODEST CAA SETTING IN LATE. STRONGEST LOW LEVEL WINDS
ARE EARLY TONIGHT...ENOUGH TO ALLOW FOR SEAS TO REACH 6 FT ON THE
OUTER GA WATERS AND THE NRN MOST SC WATERS. SCA/S ARE ALREADY IN
PLACE AND WILL REMAIN FOR THESE WATERS THROUGH LATE TONIGHT. NO
OTHER HEADLINES NECESSARY...ALTHOUGH STILL KEEPING A CLOSE WATCH ON
CHARLESTON HARBOR WINDS WHICH MAY REACH 20 KT FOR A FEW HOURS AND
THUS A REQUIRED SCA. FOR NOW THOUGH WILL KEEP WINDS AT 15-20 KT FOR
AMZ330 TONIGHT.

RELATIVELY TRANQUIL CONDITIONS DEVELOPING ON MONDAY AS HIGH PRES
MOVES IN FROM THE W...AS MODERATE NNW WINDS IN THE MORNING SHIFT TO
LIGHT E AND SE DURING THE AFTN. SEAS WILL FALL BELOW 3 OR 4 FT BY
AFTN. FOR MONDAY NIGHT...THE FRONTAL BOUNDARY WILL HAVE STALLED
ACROSS THE WATERS NOT FAR TO THE SE...WITH LOW PRES TO FORM ON THE
FRONT E OF THE MARINE AREA. THIS WILL ALLOW FOR WINDS TO VEER AROUND
TO THE SW AND W THROUGH THE NIGHT WITH A GRADUAL INCREASE IN
SPEEDS.

CONDITIONS GO QUICKLY DOWNHILL ON TUESDAY AS THE LOW DEEPENS TO THE
NE AND AN ARCTIC COLD FRONT MOVES THROUGH IN THE AFTN. AN ANOMALOUS
1045 MB HIGH MOVES INTO THE CENTRAL STATES IN WAKE OF THE FRONT AND
BUILDS RAPIDLY E AND SE. THIS SETS THE STAGE FOR GALE CONDITIONS
OVER MOST IF NOT ALL OF THE COASTAL WATERS STARTING LATE
TUESDAY...AND CONTINUING INTO AT LEAST WEDNESDAY. GALE WATCHES WILL
LIKELY BE NECESSARY MONDAY MORNING.

WNA GUIDANCE CONTINUES TO LOOK UNDERDONE ON SEAS GIVEN GALE FORCE
WINDS. WE HAVE THUS RELIED MORE ON LOCAL GUIDANCE WHICH SUGGEST
EASILY 10-12 FT ON THE OUTER GA WATERS...AND PERHAPS A FOOT OR SO
HIGHER CLOSER TO THE COAST DURING THE TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY TIME
PERIOD.

CONDITIONS WILL IMPROVE SOMEWHAT THURSDAY AND FRIDAY AS STRONG HIGH
PRES TO THE N SHIFTS E. HOWEVER...STILL LOOKS LIKE SOME PINCHING OF
THE PRES GRADIENT AS A COASTAL TROUGH DEVELOPS. THAT ALONG WITH
FAVORABLE NELY FETCH WILL LIKELY ALLOW SEAS TO REMAIN ELEVATED AND
SCA/S MAY STILL BE NECESSARY.

LAKE WINDS...STILL LOOKS LIKE IT WILL BE A BORDERLINE SITUATION FOR
A LAKE WIND ADVISORY ON LAKE MOULTRIE TONIGHT. BUT THE FRONTAL
PASSAGE HAS BEEN DELAYED A LITTLE FROM EARLIER THINKING...THUS THE
COLDER AIR IS NOT AS STRONG AS EARLIER ANTICIPATED. AND ONCE THE
COLDER AIR DOES START MOVING IN...WIND FIELDS ARE SLOWLY
DIMINISHING. THEREFORE WILL CAP WINDS AT 15 TO 20 KT TONIGHT ON LAKE
MOULTRIE AND NOT ISSUE A LAKE WIND ADVISORY AT THIS TIME. WILL
CONTINUE TO MONITOR.

CONDITIONS STILL LOOK FAVORABLE FOR A LAKE WIND ADVISORY ON LAKE
MOULTRIE FOR THE PERIOD TUESDAY THROUGH AT LEAST WEDNESDAY...AS VERY
COLD AIR MOVES ACROSS THE WARM LAKE WATERS. WILL INCLUDE AS A
HEADLINE IN THE RECREATIONAL FCST AND MAINTAIN MENTION IN THE HWO.

&&

.FIRE WEATHER...
MUCH LOWER RH VALUES WILL OCCUR MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY AS A MUCH
COOLER AND DRIER AIRMASS MOVES INTO THE REGION...WITH THE CAUSE
FOR MOST CONCERN ON TUE AND WED WHEN WINDS WILL ALSO BE GUSTY.
WILL INCLUDE MENTION IN OUR HAZARDOUS WX OUTLOOK AND FIRE WX FCST.
A FIRE WEATHER WATCH MAY NEED TO BE ISSUED ON MON FOR AT LEAST TUE
AFTER COORDINATION WITH THE FIRE AGENCIES.

&&

.HYDROLOGY...
RECENT HEAVY RAINFALL AND ADDITIONAL RAINS INTO EARLY TONIGHT HAVE
RESULTED IN A RISE OF RIVER LEVELS IN SOUTHEAST GEORGIA. AS A
RESULT...THE POTENTIAL EXISTS FOR MINOR FLOODING ON THE OHOOPEE
RIVER AT REIDSVILLE STARTING EARLY TUESDAY MORNING...AND THE OGEECHEE
RIVER AT MIDVILLE ON THURSDAY. GIVEN THAT REIDSVILLE IS STILL 3.6
FT BELOW FLOOD STAGE AS OF THIS MORNING WE WILL NOT YET ISSUE A
RIVER FLOOD WARNING...BUT IF THE CURRENT FORECAST HOLDS THEN
EXPECT A RIVER FLOOD WARNING TO BE ISSUED TONIGHT OR EARLY MONDAY.
WE STILL HAVE PLENTY OF TIME REGARDING MIDVILLE...THUS NO NEED FOR
A RIVER FLOOD WARNING AT THIS TIME.

&&

.CHS WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
GA...NONE.
SC...NONE.
MARINE...SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY UNTIL 4 AM EST MONDAY FOR AMZ374.
     SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY UNTIL 4 AM EST MONDAY FOR AMZ350.
