AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE CHARLESTON SC
749 AM EDT THU OCT 9 2008

.SYNOPSIS...
LOW PRESSURE WILL GRADUALLY PASS SOUTH OF THE REGION TODAY AND
TONIGHT. THE LOW WILL THEN LINGER JUST OFFSHORE THROUGH SAT NIGHT
THEN WILL GRADUALLY DISSIPATE AND SHIFT S. HIGH PRESSURE WILL
RETURN FROM THE N SUN NIGHT AND REMAIN OVER THE AREA THROUGH THE
MIDDLE OF NEXT WEEK.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 PM THIS EVENING/...
00-06Z NAM/GFS GUIDANCE GENERALLY AGREE THAT THE UPPER
LOW/ASSOCIATED COLD POOL CENTERED ALONG THE AL/GA BORDER THURSDAY
MORNING WILL MIGRATE SE AND INTO S GA THIS AFTERNOON.
SHOWERS/THUNDERSTORMS WERE ALREADY EXPANDING WHERE LOW LEVEL
CONVERGENCE ALONG A SURFACE BOUNDARY COINCIDED WITH MID/UPPER
LEVEL COLD ADVECTION/FORCING EAST OF THE UPPER LOW.

THE CORE OF -12C TO -13C 500 MB TEMPS AND 700-500 MB LAPSE RATES
6-7 C/KM WILL BE LOCATED OVER OR CLOSE TO S/W COUNTIES OF THE
FORECAST AREA THIS AFTERNOON/EVENING. THE NAM/GFS ALSO DEPICT A
PERSISTENT BAND OF 700-300 Q VECTOR CONVERGENCE ON THE EASTERN
PERIPHERY OF THE UPPER LOW...EXTENDING INTO S/E COUNTIES OF THE
FORECAST AREA...SUGGESTING A CONTINUATION OF DEEP LAYER
FORCING/ASCENT INTO THIS EVENING.

DESPITE CLOUD COVER...BOTH MODELS DEPICT SOME DEGREE OF DIURNAL
HEATING...PUSHING HIGH TEMPERATURES INTO THE UPPER 70S/LOWER
80S...WHILE DEWPOINTS IN THE UPPER 60S/LOWER 70S PERSIST. WITH
DIURNAL WARMING...THE 0Z GFS DEPICTS A WORST CASE SCENARIO WITH
STRONGEST DESTABILIZATION...FEATURING SBCAPES 1500-2000 J/KG AND
LIFTED INDICES -5 TO -6...AND PUSHES THIS UNSTABLE REGIME FARTHEST
NORTH...SOLIDLY INTO THE FORECAST AREA. ON THE OTHER HAND...DESPITE
A SIMILAR POSITION FOR THE UPPER LOW/COLD POOL...THE NAM HOLDS
STRONGEST DESTABILIZATION SOUTH OF THE FORECAST AREA. ALSO OF NOTE...
THE GFS DEPICTS A BAND OF 0-6 KM BULK SHEAR 25-35 KNOTS OVER THE
REGION OF GREATEST INSTABILITY AND SYNOPTIC FORCING/ASCENT.

AFTER A PERIOD OF CHANCE POPS THROUGH MID MORNING...MAINTAINED
LIKELY POPS ALL AREAS FOR THIS AFTERNOON AS SHOWERS/THUNDERSTORMS
SHOULD CONTINUE TO DEVELOP/EXPAND IN COVERAGE WITH STEEPENING MID
LEVEL LAPSE RATES/LOW LEVEL DIABATIC HEATING. AS A COMPROMISE
BETWEEN THE NAM AND GFS...ADDED A MENTION OF GUSTY WINDS/SMALL
HAIL ACROSS S/SE AREAS FROM LATE MORNING THROUGH THIS
AFTERNOON...AND WILL CONTINUE TO MENTION THE POTENTIAL FOR
ISOLATED SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS WITHIN THE HAZARDOUS WEATHER
OUTLOOK. IF THE GFS SCENARIO DEVELOPS...MORE ORGANIZED SEVERE
WEATHER COULD IMPACT S/SE AREAS THIS AFTERNOON.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 PM THIS EVENING THROUGH 6 AM FRIDAY/...
MAINTAINED LIKELY POPS INTO THIS EVENING TO ACCOUNT FOR ONGOING
CONVECTION. THEN...0Z GFS AND 0Z NAM SOLUTIONS DIVERGE...WITH THE
NAM DEPICTING A DIURNAL DECREASE IN COVERAGE OF
SHOWERS/THUNDERSTORMS...WITH LITTLE PRECIPITATION IN THE REGION
OVERNIGHT...WHILE THE GFS MAINTAINS STRONGER MID/UPPER LEVEL
DEFORMATION AND 300K ISENTROPIC ASCENT...SUPPORTING MORE WIDESPREAD
PRECIPITATION NORTH OF THE UPPER LOW. WHILE THE DIURNAL TREND
SUGGESTED BY THE NAM APPEARS REASONABLE...CANNOT RULE OUT PERSISTENT
SHOWERS OVERNIGHT. THUS...AS A COMPROMISE INDICATED CHANCE POPS
OVERNIGHT. MEANWHILE...LOW LEVEL MOISTURE AND LIGHT WINDS SHOULD
SUPPORT AT LEAST PATCHY FOG OVERNIGHT.

&&

.LONG TERM /FRIDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
THE UPPER LEVEL LOW AND ITS SFC REFLECTION LOW PRES CENTER WILL
SHIFT OFFSHORE FRI MRNG. WHILE THE UPPER LEVEL LOW BEGINS TO SHIFT S
AWAY FROM THE AREA...THE SFC LOW WILL TRANSITION TO A COASTAL TROUGH
THAT LOOKS TO LINGER JUST OFFSHORE THROUGH SAT NIGHT THEN SHIFT S
AND WEAKEN. BECAUSE BOTH THE SFC AND UPPER LEVEL LOW PRES FEATURES
WILL CONTINUE TO HAVE GOOD LLVL CONVERGENCE AND DEEP MOISTURE...
PERIODS OF SHOWERS WILL STILL IMPACT THE AREA FRI THROUGH SUN.
HIGHEST POPS WILL BE FRI AND FRI NIGHT WHERE THE TROUGH WILL BE A
CLOSEST PROXIMITY TO THE COAST...SO HAVE MAINTAINED A TREND OF
LIKELY POPS NEAR THE COAST TO LOW-MID CHC POPS WELL INLAND.

AS THE COASTAL TROUGH SHIFTS S...SO WILL THE DEEPER MOISTURE AND
THUS THE BEST PRECIP CHCS FOR SAT THROUGH SUN. HAVE STUCK WITH THE
MORE PESSIMISTIC ECMWF FCST RATHER THAN A QUICKER AND MORE
OPTIMISTIC GFS DUE TO THE ECMWF BETTER INITIALIZATION AND MORE
PREFERENCE BY HPC OVER THE OPERATIONAL GFS. THIS KEEPS PRECIP GOING
OVER SRN AREAS SUN INTO MON...SO HAVE MAINTAINED SLGT CHC POPS
MAINLY S OF THE COASTAL WATERS INTO SE GA.

BY LATE MON...THE TROUGH LOOKS TO BE FAR ENOUGH S AND WEAK ENOUGH
SUCH THAT NO FURTHER PRECIP CONCERNS ARE WARRANTED. IN ADDITION...
DRIER HIGH PRES WILL BEGIN TO BUILD IN FROM THE N AND HIGH PRES WILL
REMAIN OVER THE AREA THROUGH THE MIDDLE OF NEXT WEEK.

TEMPS WILL RUN NEAR NORMAL THROUGH THE WEEKEND...AS THE PREVAILING
CLOUD/RAIN COMPLICATIONS WILL KEEP MAX TEMPS BELOW 80 AND MIN TEMPS
IN THE UPPER 50S TO LOWER 60S. AS HIGH PRES RETURNS FOR EARLY TO MID
NEXT WEEK...ABOVE NORMAL TEMPS ARE EXPECTED AS MAX TEMPS WILL JUMP
TO THE LOW-MID 80S AND MIN TEMPS REMAIN IN THE UPPER 50S TO LOWER
60S.

&&

.AVIATION /12Z THURSDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...
E/NE OF A POTENT UPPER LOW...SHOWERS/THUNDERSTORMS WILL CONTINUE TO
EXPAND IN COVERAGE THIS MORNING AND WILL REMAIN NUMEROUS THIS
AFTERNOON/EVENING. GREATER INSTABILITY/PROXIMITY TO THE UPPER LOW
INCREASES CONFIDENCE IN THUNDERSTORMS AT KSAV...JUST ABOUT ANY
TIME BUT MOST LIKELY BETWEEN 17Z-21Z. THUS...MAINTAINED A TEMPO
GROUP FOR THUNDER AT KSAV. AT KCHS...CONFIDENCE ONLY SUFFICIENT TO
JUSTIFY A MENTION OF PM CBS WITHIN THE 12Z TAFS. MEANWHILE...DUE
TO LOW LEVEL MOISTURE...AT LEAST A COUPLE OF HOURS OF TEMPO MVFR
OR LOWER CEILINGS APPEAR LIKELY AT BOTH TERMINALS THIS MORNING.
THEN...EXPECT GRADUAL IMPROVEMENT TO VFR CONDITIONS TOWARD MIDDAY.
TONIGHT...LOW LEVEL MOISTURE AND LIGHT WINDS SHOULD FAVOR
DETERIORATION TO PREVAILING MVFR CONDITIONS BY AROUND 04Z...AND
IFR CONDITIONS WILL PROBABLY DEVELOP AFTER 06Z.

EXPECT AMENDMENTS TODAY AS NEAR TERM CONVECTIVE TRENDS COME INTO
FOCUS.

EXTENDED AVIATION OUTLOOK...OCCASIONAL MVFR OR LOWER CONDITIONS ARE
POSSIBLE FRI THROUGH SAT NIGHT AS THE STORM SYSTEM LINGERS JUST
OFFSHORE. VFR CONDITIONS RETURN EARLY NEXT WEEK AS HIGH PRESSURE
BUILDS IN FROM THE N.

&&

.MARINE...
IN THE WAKE OF A WARM FRONT THAT HAD PUSHED ONSHORE...THURSDAY
MORNING S/SE WINDS HAD AVERAGED 15-20 KNOTS...AND 6 FT SEAS
CONTINUED TO PUSH INTO THE OUTER GA WATERS. WAVE WATCH GUIDANCE
CONTINUES TO ADVERTISE SEAS SUBSIDING BELOW 6 FT ACROSS THE OUTER
GA WATERS BY MIDDAY...ACCOMPANIED BY DIMINISHING WINDS... AND THE
ONGOING SCA FOR AMZ374 MAY BE DISCONTINUED BY NOON.
ELSEWHERE...WINDS/SEAS WILL MOST LIKELY REMAIN BELOW SCA LEVELS
THROUGH TONIGHT.

SFC LOW PRES INLAND WILL SHIFT INTO THE WATERS FRI AND LINGER OVER
THE WATERS THROUGH SUN...ALTHOUGH TRANSITIONING TO AN OPEN COASTAL
TROUGH. AS HIGH PRES STARTS TO BUILD IN FROM THE N BEHIND THE LOW...
A FAIRLY STRONG PINCHED GRADIENT WILL DEVELOP OVER THE WATERS MAKING
FOR A PERSISTENT NE FLOW. SCA CONDITIONS LOOK QUITE LIKELY SAT
THROUGH MON AND POSSIBLY INTO TUE...AS WINDS MAY OCCASIONALLY TOP 20
KT BUT MORE LIKELY SUE TO SEAS WHICH WILL TOP 6 FT. THE OUTER GA
WATERS WILL HAVE THE LONGEST DURATION DUE TO THE PROLONGED ELEVATED
SEAS...BUT AS HIGH PRES MOVES OVER THE WATERS TUE INTO WED
CONDITIONS OVER ALL WATERS WILL DROP BELOW SCA LEVELS MID NEXT WEEK.

&&

.CHS WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
GA...NONE.
SC...NONE.
MARINE...SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY UNTIL NOON EDT TODAY FOR AMZ374.
