AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE CHARLESTON SC
628 PM EDT FRI OCT 24 2008

.SYNOPSIS...
LOW PRES WILL TRACK NE OF THE REGION TONIGHT. HIGH PRES WILL BUILD
BACK IN FOR THE WEEKEND...THEN A DRY COLD FRONT WILL CROSS THE
AREA LATE MON. COLDER HIGH PRES WILL BUILD IN FOR THE MIDDLE AND
LATTER PORTION OF NEXT WEEK.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM SATURDAY MORNING/...
PER WATER VAPOR...VISIBLE AND RADAR IMAGERY...DESCENDING DRY AIR
WAS PUNCHING THROUGH LOW LEVEL MOISTURE AND WAS FOLLOWING BANDS OF
SHOWERS INTO THE FORECAST AREA...WITH NEW BANDS OF SHOWERS/STRONG
WINDS DEVELOPING ACROSS SE GA. DUE TO A LACK LIGHTNING ASSOCIATED
WITH SHOWERS...AND PER UPSTREAM SURFACE OBSERVATIONS OF WIND
GUSTS EXCEEDING 50 MPH AND AREA REPORTS OF WIND
DAMAGE...MAINTAINED THE ONGOING HIGH WIND WARNING FOR INLAND
COUNTIES UNTIL 9 PM...AND EXPANDED THE HIGH WIND WARNING THROUGH
COASTAL COUNTIES UNTIL 11 PM.

OTHERWISE...THE FRIDAY EVENING SURFACE ANALYSIS FEATURED A CLASSIC
WEDGE SCENARIO...WITH STRONG HIGH PRESSURE OVER LAND...WEAK LOW
PRESSURE GRADUALLY EMERGING FROM THE NORTHERN GULF OF MEXICO AND
AN ASSOCIATED WARM FRONT EXTENDING NE ACROSS GA/SC COASTAL
COUNTIES. MEANWHILE...THE PARENT UPPER LOW WAS ROLLING E/NE ACROSS
THE MID/UPPER MS RIVER VALLEY. THIS FEATURE CONTINUED TO PULL DEEP
MOISTURE N/NE ACROSS THE FORECAST AREA...AND FORCING/ASCENT WAS
ENHANCED BY A DILUENT 80-120 KNOT 300-200 MB JET CORE ROUNDING
THE BASE OF THIS FEATURE AND ADVANCING INTO THE SE. AS A
RESULT...OVERRUNNING RAIN REMAINED WIDESPREAD ACROSS THE FORECAST
AREA. WHILE THE SYNOPTIC RAIN SHIELD WAS ADVANCING NE...LOW TOPPED
CONVECTIVE ELEMENTS WERE NOTED ACROSS THE COASTAL WATERS...CLOSE
TO THE WARM FRONT/COASTAL TROUGH...PUSHING NW TOWARD COASTAL
COUNTIES.

AS THE DRY SLOT NOTED ON WATER VAPOR SWEEPS NE AND ACROSS THE
FORECAST AREA...WIDESPREAD...PRIMARILY STRATIFORM RAIN WILL
TRANSITION TO CONVECTIVE PRECIPITATION FROM SW TO NE DURING THE
LATE AFTERNOON/EARLY EVENING. PWATS 1.5 TO 2 INCHES WILL CONTINUE
TO SUPPORT PERIODS OF HEAVY RAIN...AND STORM TOTAL RAINFALL
AMOUNTS OF 2 TO 4 INCHES WILL BE COMMON...WITH LOCALLY GREATER
AMOUNTS NOT OUT OF THE QUESTION.

MEANWHILE...SOME CONCERN REMAINS FOR THE POTENTIAL FOR SEVERE
WEATHER TONIGHT. WITHIN THE WARM SECTOR...12Z GUIDANCE DEPICTS A
POCKET OF SUBZERO LIFTED INDICES PUSHING INTO COASTAL/NORTHERN
COUNTIES TONIGHT...WITHIN AN ENVIRONMENT FEATURING MID LEVEL
DRYING/INCREASING CONVECTIVE INSTABILITY...0-1 KM STORM RELATIVE
HELICITIES EXCEEDING 300 M2/S2 AND 0-6 KM BULK SHEAR AVERAGING
30-50 KNOTS. THIS SUGGESTS THE POSSIBILITY OF ISOLATED LOW TOPPED
SUPERCELLS PRODUCING DAMAGING WINDS GUSTS AND EVEN BRIEF
TORNADOES. ON THE OTHER HAND...SEVERAL FACTORS MAY COMBINE TO
LIMIT THE POTENTIAL FOR SEVERE WEATHER TONIGHT.
SPECIFICALLY...EVEN WITHIN THE WARM SECTOR SURFACE BASED
INSTABILITY WILL REMAIN LIMITED TONIGHT...AS SE FLOW WILL MAINTAIN
A MARINE INFLUENCE WELL INTO TONIGHT. ALSO...AS OF FRIDAY
AFTERNOON NO SEVERE WEATHER HAD OCCURRED WITHIN THE WARM SECTOR
UPSTREAM...CLOSER TO THE SURFACE LOW...AND THIS MAY BE AN EARLY
INDICATOR THAT PARAMETERS MAY NOT BE COMING TOGETHER TO SUPPORT
SEVERE WEATHER. FINALLY...BLOCKED BY THE STRONG SURFACE HIGH THE
NORTHERN GULF LOW MAY STRUGGLE TO ADVANCE NE...PERHAPS ONLY
LEAVING THE WEAKENING WARM FRONT/SURFACE TROUGH WHICH WILL THEN
ADVANCE E/NE OVERNIGHT. THIS SCENARIO MAY LIMIT THE MAGNITUDE OF
LOW LEVEL DIRECTIONAL SHEAR/HELICITY AND THE RESULTING POTENTIAL
FOR SUSTAINED ROTATING UPDRAFTS. ISOLATED SEVERE POTENTIAL WILL
REMAIN WITHIN THE HAZARDOUS WEATHER OUTLOOK.

AS MID LEVEL DRY AIR CONTINUES TO SPREAD INTO THE REGION
OVERNIGHT...COVERAGE/INTENSITY OF PRECIPITATION WILL DIMINISH.
HOWEVER...THE 12Z NAM MAINTAINS DEEPER MOISTURE/ASCENT LONGEST OVER
COASTAL WATERS AND N/NE COUNTIES...THUS MAINTAINED LIKELY/CATEGORICAL
POPS THERE THROUGH THE NIGHT.

FINALLY...AS WINDS DIMINISH OVERNIGHT...STRATUS MAY LOWER TO CREATE
AREAS OF FOG.

LAKE WINDS...DESPITE MARGINAL CONDITIONS...MAINTAINED THE ONGOING
LAKE WIND ADVISORY UNTIL MIDNIGHT. THEN...WINDS WILL DIMINISH ACROSS
THE REGION OVERNIGHT.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 AM SATURDAY MORNING THROUGH 6 PM SATURDAY/...
AFTER AREAS OF FOG AND SHOWERS/DRIZZLE TO START THE DAY...EXPECT
SLOW BUT STEADY IMPROVEMENT AS THE SURFACE/UPPER TROUGHS LIFT NE AND
HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS INTO THE REGION FROM THE W/SW. THE POTENTIAL
FOR MEASURABLE PRECIPITATION SHOULD END BY AFTERNOON. TEMPERATURES
COULD RECOVER INTO THE LOWER TO MID 80S SATURDAY. HOWEVER...LOW
CLOUDS MAY PERSIST LONG ENOUGH TO LIMIT POTENTIAL HIGHS TO THE MID
70S NORTH TO AROUND 80 SOUTH.

&&

.LONG TERM /SATURDAY NIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY/...
ELONGATED SFC LOW PRES CENTER AND ITS ASSOCIATED COLD FRONT WILL
CONTINUE MOVING N AND E AWAY FROM THE AREA WHILE DRY SFC HIGH PRES
MOVES IN FROM THE W SAT NIGHT INTO SUN. WHILE THE SFC HIGH PRES AREA
REMAINS CENTERED OVER THE GULF COAST STATES...AN UPPER LEVEL TROUGH
AXIS WILL PUSH THROUGH...BUT THE ATMOS WILL BE WAY TOO DRY TO
DEVELOP MUCH IN THE WAY OF CLOUD COVER AND CERTAINLY NO RAIN SO WILL
MAINTAIN MOCLR SKIES AND NO PRECIP.

SUN INTO MON...A POTENT UPPER LEVEL LONGWAVE TROUGH WILL DEVELOP
OVER ERN CANADA AND DIP DOWN THROUGH THE OH VLY...HELPING BRING A
DRY COLD FRONT THROUGH THE AREA BY MON EVE. AS THIS COLD FRONT
PUSHES THROUGH...A LEGITIMATE CHANGE IN AIRMASS WILL ACCOMPANY THE
FRONT AS UPPER LEVEL FLOW BECOMES NWLY...ALLOWING A BRIEF BOUT OF
COLDER CANADIAN AIR TO THE SOUTHEAST.

STARTING MON NIGHT AND LASTING THROUGH THE END OF THE WEEK...MIN
TEMPS FOR FAR INLAND AREAS WILL REACH THE MID TO UPPER 30S WITH MINS
IN THE 40S CLOSER TO THE COAST AND ARND 50 AT THE SHORELINES. MAX
TEMPS FOR TUE WILL BE TRICKY. HAVE NUDGED THEM DOWN INTO THE LOWER
60S BUT USING SEASONAL 1000-850 THICKNESS TOOLS ADVERTISE MAX TEMPS
IN THE MID TO UPPER 50S. ONCE THE TROUGH PUSHES OFFSHORE TUE...SFC
HIGH PRES WILL CENTER ITSELF OVER THE NORTHEAST AND KEEP ITS SRN
EXTENT OVER THIS AREA WHILE NW FLOW PERSISTS. THIS WILL KEEP MAX
TEMPS GENERALLY IN THE MID 60S WED THROUGH FRI. WITH HIGH PRES
DOMINATING THE AREA...HAVE KEPT A DRY FCST GOING WITH PREVAILING
MOCLR SKIES.

&&

.AVIATION /00Z SATURDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
MVFR CONDITIONS WILL CONTINUE AT THE CHS AND SAV TERMINALS THIS
AFTERNOON AS LIGHT TO MODERATE SHOWERS CONTINUE TO DEVELOP NEAR A
SURFACE LOW OVER THE SOUTHEASTERN USA. THE SAV WILL TEMPORARILY
SEE IFR CIGS THIS AFTERNOON WITH MORE MODERATE RAINFALL IN THE
AREA. STRONG WINDS ABOVE THE SURFACE WILL LEAD TO LLWS THIS
AFTERNOON AT BOTH TERMINALS.

CONDITIONS WILL CONTINUE TO REMAIN AT OR BELOW MVFR CONDITIONS
AFTER SUNSET. EAST WINDS NEAR 10 KTS WILL BECOME SOUTHEAST THIS
EVENING AS THE LOW PROGRESSES TO THE NORTHEAST. SHOWERS WILL BEGIN
TO DISSIPATE OVERNIGHT AND ACTIVITY AT THE SAV TERMINAL IS LIKELY
TO END BY 08Z. SHOWERS WILL CONTINUE AT THE CHS TERMINAL UNTIL 12Z
AS THE CENTER OF LOW PRESSURE SHIFTS NORTHEAST. CONDITIONS REMAIN
FAVORABLE AT CHS TO PRODUCE TEMPO IFR CONDITIONS BETWEEN 08Z AND
12Z AND PREVAILING IFR CONDITIONS AT THE SAV TERMINAL BETWEEN 08Z
AND 14Z. VSBYS MAY BE RESTRICTED BELOW 1SM AT THE SAV TERMINAL
BETWEEN 09Z AND 12Z.

CONDITIONS WILL BEGIN TO IMPROVE AT BOTH TERMINALS TOMORROW
MORNING AFTER DAYBREAK. BY 15Z BOTH TERMINALS WILL HAVE MVFR
CONDITIONS DUE TO LOW CIGS. CLOUDS ARE LIKELY TO BEGIN DISSIPATING
OR SHIFT TO THE NORTHEAST BY 18Z AS DRIER AIR BEGINS TO FILTER
INTO THE REGION. SOUTHEAST WINDS NEAR 8 KTS WILL BECOME WESTERLY
BY LATE MORNING.

EXTENDED AVIATION OUTLOOK...MVFR AND/OR IFR CONDITIONS WILL
PREVAIL THROUGH THE FIRST PART OF SATURDAY. VFR CONDITIONS WILL
RETURN LATE SATURDAY AND WILL CONTINUE THROUGH WEDNESDAY.

&&

.MARINE...
WILL EXTEND THE GALE WARNING FOR THE NEARSHORE GEORGIA
WATERS...AMZ354...UNTIL MIDNIGHT...AS THE SURFACE PRESSURE GRADIENT
SHOULD REMAIN TIGHT JUST E/SE OF THE WARM FRONT.
OTHERWISE...MAINTAINED GALE WARNINGS FOR OTHER MARINE ZONES OUTSIDE
CHARLESTON HARBOR UNTIL MIDNIGHT. WILL MAINTAIN A HIGH END SCA FOR
CHARLESTON HARBOR...AS MOST GUSTS SHOULD TOP OUT AROUND 30
KNOTS...BUT WILL CLOSELY MONITOR AS EVEN A SLIGHT INCREASE IN WINDS
MAY REQUIRE A GALE WARNING ON THE HARBOR TONIGHT.

SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY CONDITIONS WILL THEN PERSIST OVERNIGHT INTO
SATURDAY.

AS THE PRES GRADIENT LESSENS OVER THE WATERS SAT NIGHT INTO SUN WITH
THE DEPARTURE OF THE COLD FRONT FROM THE WATERS...WINDS OVER ALL
ZONES WILL BE BELOW SCA LEVELS BUT WILL STILL NEED SCA HEADLINES FOR
THE OUTER GA WATERS AND THE NRN SC WATERS FOR SEAS. SEA HEIGHTS WILL
GRADUALLY FALL BELOW SCA LEVELS FOR THOSE 2 ZONES BY SUN AFTN AS
HIGH PRES MOVES INTO THE AREA.

FAIRLY TRANQUIL CONDS REMAIN THROUGH MON MRNG...THEN CONDITIONS
DETERIORATE MON AFTN INTO MON EVE AS A CDFNT MOVES INTO THE AREA.
STRONG CAA ASSOCIATED WITH THIS SYSTEM LOOKS TO PROMPT ANOTHER ROUND
OF SCA FLAGS FOR AT LEAST THE OUTER GA WATERS AND POSSIBLY THE
NEARSHORE ZONES...MAINLY FOR WINDS OVER 20 KT NEAR THE 20NM MARK.
CONDITIONS THEN IMPROVE MON NIGHT INTO TUE...AND REMAIN BENIGN
THROUGH THE MIDDLE OF THE WEEK AS SPRAWLING HIGH PRES RETURNS AND
PERSISTS OVER THE WATERS. AS THE PRES GRADIENT LESSENS OVER THE
WATERS SAT NIGHT INTO SUN WITH THE DEPARTURE OF THE COLD FRONT
FROM THE WATERS...WINDS OVER ALL ZONES WILL BE BELOW SCA LEVELS
BUT WILL STILL NEED SCA HEADLINES FOR THE OUTER GA WATERS AND THE
NRN SC WATERS FOR SEAS. SEA HEIGHTS WILL GRADUALLY FALL BELOW SCA
LEVELS FOR THOSE 2 ZONES BY SUN AFTN AS HIGH PRES MOVES INTO THE
AREA.

FAIRLY TRANQUIL CONDS REMAIN THROUGH MON MRNG...THEN CONDITIONS
DETERIORATE MON AFTN INTO MON EVE AS A CDFNT MOVES INTO THE AREA.
STRONG CAA ASSOCIATED WITH THIS SYSTEM LOOKS TO PROMPT ANOTHER ROUND
OF SCA FLAGS FOR AT LEAST THE OUTER GA WATERS AND POSSIBLY THE
NEARSHORE ZONES...MAINLY FOR WINDS OVER 20 KT NEAR THE 20NM MARK.
CONDITIONS THEN IMPROVE MON NIGHT INTO TUE...AND REMAIN BENIGN
THROUGH THE MIDDLE OF THE WEEK AS SPRAWLING HIGH PRES RETURNS AND
PERSISTS OVER THE WATERS.

RIP CURRENTS...
THE HIGH RISK FOR RIP CURRENTS CONTINUES INTO THIS EVENING. THE
THREAT FOR RIP CURRENTS SHOULD THEN DIMINISH THIS WEEKEND.

&&

.TIDES/COASTAL FLOODING...
TIDES WERE RUNNING 1.5 TO 2 FT ABOVE EXPECTED/ASTRONOMICAL LEVELS
FRIDAY AFTERNOON...SETTING THE STAGE FOR HIGH TIDE LEVELS
APPROACHING/EXCEEDING SHALLOW COASTAL FLOOD ADVISORY LEVELS DURING
THE LATE AFTERNOON/EARLY EVENING. ALSO...THE ELEVATED TIDES AND
HEAVY RAINFALL COULD COMBINE TO PRODUCE LOCALIZED FLOODING ACROSS
COASTAL COUNTIES...ESPECIALLY IN SAVANNAH AND CHARLESTON...THROUGH
EARLY EVENING.
