AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE CHARLESTON SC
744 AM EST FRI FEB 1 2008

.SYNOPSIS...
A COLD FRONT WILL PUSH OFFSHORE THIS AFTERNOON AND STALL
WELL SOUTH OF THE AREA THROUGH THE WEEKEND. HIGH PRESSURE WILL
SETTLE OVER THE AREA THIS EVENING THROUGH MONDAY MORNING...THEN MOVE
AWAY TO THE NORTH. THE STALLED FRONT WILL LIFT NORTH ACROSS THE AREA
MONDAY...ALLOWING FOR WARMER TEMPERATURES. ANOTHER COLD FRONT WILL
MOVE THROUGH THE AREA WEDNESDAY FOLLOWED BY COLDER HIGH PRESSURE
THURSDAY.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 PM THIS EVENING/...
A QUICK UPDATE WAS JUST ISSUED TO MOVE THE START TIME OF THE WIND
ADVISORY TO THE CURRENT TIME. OBSERVATIONS ALONG THE LWR SC COAST
INDICATE WINDS ARE ALREADY GUSTING IN EXCESS OF 30 MPH. 1000 FT
WINDS OFF THE CHS SOUNDING WERE 42 KNOTS...WHICH IS A BIT STRONGER
THAN WHAT THE 06Z MODELS WERE INDICATING . WITH SOME SUN EXPECTED
TO FILTER THROUGH THE CLOUDS OVER THE NEXT FEW HRS...WE WILL NEED
TO CAREFULLY MONITOR OBSERVATIONS IN CASE WINDS DECIDE TO SURGE
HIGHER THAN WHAT WE ARE CURRENTLY FCSTG. IF THIS OCCURS...THEN A
HIGH WIND WARNING MAY BE CONSIDERED.

LINES OF SHOWERS WITH A FEW TSTMS CONTINUE TO MARCH TOWARDS THE
COAST. LOOKS LIKE MANY AREAS WILL SEE SOME RNFL THIS MRNG. HAVE
ALREADY SEEN RAIN AMOUNTS OVER 0.25 INCHES ACROSS THE FAR INLAND
ZONES. NO CHANGES ARE NEEDED TO THE POP FCST ATTM. THE RISK FOR
ISOLD SVR TSTMS CONTINUES.

RAPID CLEARING WILL OCCUR THIS AFTN AS THE COLD FRONT SHIFTS
OFFSHORE AND MUCH DRIER AIR BEGINS TO ADVECT INTO THE REGION.
HIGHS WILL RANGE FROM THE MID 60S WELL INLAND TO THE UPR 60S JUST
INLAND FROM THE COAST.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 PM THIS EVENING THROUGH 6 AM SATURDAY/...
HIGH PRESSURE WILL BUILD INTO THE SE STATES TONIGHT. CLEAR SKIES
AND DIMINISHING WINDS WILL ALLOW TEMPS TO DROP INTO THE LWR 30S
INLAND WITH UPR 30S NEAR THE IMMEDIATE COAST.

&&

.LONG TERM /SATURDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/...
DRY HIGH PRES WILL SETTLE OVER THE AREA BY SAT MRNG AND REMAIN IN
PLACE THROUGH THE WEEKEND. WITH THE ORIGIN OF THE HIGH PRES
AIRMASS FROM THE SW...NOT MUCH CAA WILL OCCUR WITH IT SO TEMPS
WILL REMAIN NEAR NORMAL THROUGH THE WEEKEND. IT/S TRACK TWD THE NE
IS ALIGNED WITH THE ORIENTATION OF A STALLED SFC FNTL BNDRY OVER
THE FL PENINSULA INTO THE GOMEX...AND THIS BNDRY WILL LIFT N ACRS
THE AREA AS A WMFNT MON. THIS WILL ALLOW FOR A MORE DEFINITIVE
S-SW FLOW AT THE SFC TO MATCH THAT OF THE UPR LVL FLOW AND ALLOW
FOR MUCH WARMER TEMPS TO MOVE INTO THE AREA FOR MON-TUE. MAX TEMPS
IN THE MID 60S TO ARND 70 SAT-SUN WILL RISE TO THE LOW-MID 70S
MON-TUE. ALONG WITH THE RISE IN TEMPS WILL BE A COINCIDING RISE IN
DEWPOINTS...MAKING FOR A TOUCH OF A HUMID AIRMASS MOVING IN. MINOR
SHORTWAVES IN THE UPR FLOW MOVG THROUGH THE AREA MON THROUGH TUE
MAY BE ENOUGH TO CREATE POCKETS OF LIFT TO UTILIZE THE DEEPER
MOISTURE TO CREATE ISOLD SHWRS SO HAVE ADDED IN SLGT CHC POPS FOR
THE START OF THE WORKWEEK. BY TUE NIGHT...A CDFNT WILL PUSH INTO
THE SE STATES AND THIS FRONT LOOKS TO MOVE THROUGH THE AREA BY
MIDDAY WED ACCORDING TO HPC TIMING. THUS...HAVE MAINTAINED CHC
POPS AHEAD OF THE FNT BUT AM OPTING AGAINST ADDING IN THUNDER
MENTION AS THE FRONTAL PROGRESSION THROUGH THE AREA WILL BE DURING
THE OVERNIGHT HOURS TUE INTO WED THUS LIMITING INSTABILITY. THE
FRONT WILL PUSH OFFSHORE BY LATE DAY WED... ALLOWING FOR ANOTHER
PUSH OF DRY HIGH PRES INTO THE AREA. MODEST CAA ASSOCIATED WITH
THIS FRONT WILL PUSH TEMPS BACK DOWN TO NEAR NORMAL LEVELS.

&&

.AVIATION /13Z FRIDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...
THE WARM FRONT MOVED THROUGH CHS AROUND 1030Z. CIGS HAVE RISEN
INTO VFR TERRITORY AND VSBYS ARE IMPROVING. SIMILAR CONDITIONS ARE
ONGOING AT SAV. VSBYS AND CIGS WILL REMAIN VFR FOR THE NEXT FEW
HRS BEFORE THEY BEGIN TO CRASH AGAIN AS A BAND OF SHOWERS AND TSTMS
APRCHS FROM THE W. TSTM ACTIVITY HAS BEEN ON THE DECLINE SO TSTMS
WILL REMAIN OUT OF THIS TAF CYCLE BUT THIS WILL BE MONITORED.
EXPECT PCPN TO REACH SAV SHORTLY AFTER 14Z AND CHS AFT 16Z. WINDS
WILL BECOME RATHER GUSTY AFTER SUNRISE WITH 15000-2000 FT WINDS
HOLDING AROUND 50 KT. WINDS COULD EASILY GUST AS HIGH AS 30 KT
FROM MID-MRNG UNTIL ERLY AFTN...AFTER WHICH CONDITIONS WILL BEGIN
TO RAPIDLY IMPROVING INT THE WAKE OF A COLD FRONT. FROPA IS FCST
TO OCCUR AT SAV AROUND 17Z AND AROUND 19Z FOR CHS. A HIGH RISK FOR
LLWS WILL PERSIST INTO THE ERLY AFTN. MODELS INDICATE WINDS AT
1500-2000 FT WILL INCR NEAR 50 KT OVER THE NXT FEW HRS AND ALTHOUGH
WINDS WILL BECOME GUSTY...THE LLJ WILL BE STRONG ENOUGH TO MEET
LLWS CRITERIA.

EXTENDED AVIATION OUTLOOK...PRIMARILY VFR CONDS AT BOTH TERMINALS
THROUGH EARLY TUE...OUTSIDE OF POSSIBLE MVFR/IFR GROUND FOG SUN
THROUGH TUE MORNINGS.

&&

.MARINE...
WINDS ARE STEADILY VEERING TO THE S ACROSS THE MARINE AREA AS THE
WARM FRONT LIFTS FARTHER INLAND. WINDS ARE BECOME VERY GUSTY AT
41004 AND SPAG1 AND EXPECT STEADILY DETERIORATING CONDITIONS TO
OCCUR ACROSS THE ENTIRE MARINE AREA THIS MRNG AS AN IMPRESSIVE
LOW-LVL JET STRENGTHENS AHEAD OF THE COLD FRONT. FREQUENT GUSTS TO
40 KT GALES APPEAR ARE LIKELY ACROSS THE GA OFFSHORE WTRS AND THE
WTRS OFF CHARLESTON COUNTY WHERE WATER TEMPS ARE THE WARMEST SO A
GALE WRNG WILL CONTINUE FOR THESE AREAS. WILL ALSO UPGRADE
CHARLESTON HARBOR AND THE WTRS FROM EDISTO THE SAVANNAH RIVER
ENTRANCE TO A MARGINAL GALE WRNG SINCE STRONG MIXING NEAR THE
BEACHES AND THE EDGES OF THE HARBOR MAY RESULT IN WINDS GUSTING
OVER 35 KT AT TIMES. THE SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY LOOKS ON TRACK FOR
THE GA NEAR SHORE WATERS WHERE WIND FIELDS WILL NOT BE QUITE AS
STRONG. SEAS WILL PEAK 6-9 FT EXCEPT 7-10 FT BEYOND 20 NM.
CONDITIONS WILL RAPIDLY IMPROVE THIS AFTN AS A COLD FRONT PUSHES
OFFSHORE AND THE ASSOC LLJ SHITS WELL E OF THE AREA.

FRIDAY THROUGH TUESDAY...WITH HIGH PRES SETTLING OVER THE WATERS SAT
THROUGH SUN...TRANQUIL CONDS ARE EXPECTED. AS A STALLED FRONT OVER
THE FL PENINSULA LIFTS N THROUGH THE WATERS MON...WINDS WILL SHIFT
AROUND TO SE-S MON NIGHT THEN TO SW TUE AND GRADUALLY INCRS IN SPEED
AS THE PRES GRAD TIGHTENS. SPEEDS WILL CONTINUE TO RISE THROUGH WED
AHEAD OF A CDFNT PROGGED TO PUSH THROUGH THE WATERS BY LATE DAY WED.
ENOUGH OF A PINCHED GRADIENT LOOKS TO PUSH SPEEDS TO NEAR SCA LEVELS
FOR MOST MARINE ZONES BY DAYBREAK WED AND WAVE HEIGHTS WILL RISE
ACCORDINGLY. HAVE STAYED NEAR WW3 GUIDANCE WHICH LOOKS REASONABLE
ATTM. CONDITIONS GRADUALLY SETTLE BACK DOWN WED NIGHT INTO THU AS
ANOTHER HIGH PRESSURE AIRMASS ENTERS THE REGION.

&&

.FIRE WEATHER...
DRY HIGH PRESSURE WILL SETTLE OVER THE AREA SATURDAY AND SUNDAY
BEFORE EXITING MONDAY. THE DRIEST DAY DURING THIS PERIOD WILL BE
SATURDAY...DURING WHICH RH VALUES WILL DROP TO NEAR CRITICAL
LEVELS WELL AWAY FROM THE COAST. WINDS WILL DROP DOWN TO LESS THAN
10 MPH...SO NO RED FLAG CONDITIONS ARE WARRANTED BUT WILL ADD THE
APPROPRIATE HEADLINE TO THE FIRE WX FCST.

&&

GA...NONE.
