AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE CHARLESTON SC
152 PM 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/...
LATEST WATER VAPOR IMAGERY SHOWS A POTENT CUT OFF LOW LOCATED OVER
CENTRAL GEORGIA THIS HOUR WITH A LARGE DRY SLOT OF AIR WRAPPING
INTO THE CENTER OF THE LOW. THE SURFACE REFLECTION REMAINS SOMEWHAT
WEAK AND COMPLEX...WITH TWO MAIN WAVES OF LOW PRESSURE EVIDENT IN
MSAS DATA OFF THE GEORGIA/SOUTH CAROLINA COAST AND ALONG THE
FLORIDA PANHANDLE...AS WELL AS A WARM FRONTAL BOUNDARY LINGERING
JUST TO THE SOUTH OF THE FORECAST AREA.

STRONG CONVECTION INITIATED EARLIER THIS MORNING AND CONTINUES TO
DEVELOP ALONG THE SOUTHERN GEORGIA COUNTIES. CONDITIONS THROUGH
THE DAY WILL BE PRIME FOR SEVERE WEATHER ACROSS SOUTHEAST GEORGIA
AND PERHAPS EVEN SOUTHEAST SOUTH CAROLINA. 500 MB TEMPERATURES
WILL FALL TO -10 TO -12 C THIS AFTERNOON...COLDEST NEAR THE CENTER
OF THE UPPER LOW TO THE SOUTHWEST. MID LEVEL LAPSE RATES ARE
ALREADY BETWEEN 6 AND 6.5 C/KM...SUGGESTING LARGE SCALE
INSTABILITY ACROSS THE SOUTHEAST STATES. IN ADDITION...THE NOSE OF
A 50 KT UPPER JET WILL SET UP OVER THE SOUTHERN HALF OF THE
FORECAST AREA THIS AFTERNOON. MODEL FORECAST Q VECTORS CONTINUE TO
SHOW SIGNIFICANT CONVERGENCE TO THE EAST OF THE UPPER LOW.

THE ONLY NEGATING FACTOR FOR SEVERE WEATHER TODAY WOULD HAVE BEEN
THE SIGNIFICANT CLOUD COVER ACROSS THE AREA. HOWEVER...THICK CLOUDS
HAVE BEEN SOMEWHAT SCATTERED SINCE SUNRISE...AND THE ASSOCIATED BREAKS
OF SUNLIGHT SHOULD BE SUFFICIENT FOR THE LOW LEVEL DESTABILIZATION
NECESSARY TO AID IN STRONG THUNDERSTORM DEVELOPMENT. SPC ANALYSIS
ALREADY INDICATES CAPES INCREASING TO 1500 J/KG ALONG THE SUNNIER
COASTLINE...AND LIFTED INDICES DROPPING TO -3 THROUGH THE CENTRAL
FORECAST AREA.

AFTER COORDINATION WITH SPC...A SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH HAS BEEN
ISSUED FOR THE ENTIRE FORECAST AREA THROUGH 6 PM. SOUTHEAST
GEORGIA COUNTIES WILL HAVE THE HIGHEST POTENTIAL FOR SEVERE
THUNDERSTORMS DUE TO THE CLOSER PROXIMITY TO BEST DYNAMICS. HAVE
THUS MAINTAINED LIKELY STRONG THUNDERSTORMS FOR GEORGIA ZONES
THIS AFTERNOON. INDICATED LIKELY SHOWERS FOR SOUTH CAROLINA ZONES
WITH A CHANCE OF STRONG THUNDERSTORMS. MAIN SEVERE WEATHER THREATS
WILL BE LARGE HAIL AND DAMAGING WINDS DUE TO THE DRY MID LEVEL AIR
PUSHING INTO THE REGION WITHIN THE DRY SLOT AND COLD TEMPERATURES
ALOFT.

&&

.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 THURSDAY/...
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 /18Z THURSDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...
THE UPPER LOW IS SLOWLY APPROACHING THE AREA WHILE SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS ASSOCIATED ARE BEGINNING TO AFFECT BOTH TAF SITES.
THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY IS MAINLY OCCURRING NEAR THE KSAV TERMINAL
BUT WILL CONTINUE TO PUSH NORTHWARD TOWARD THE KCHS TERMINAL THUS
HAVE INTRODUCED A VCTS THROUGH 23Z. THIS ACTIVITY IS EXPECTED TO
CONTINUE THROUGH THE EVENING HOURS. CONDITIONS WILL BE BOUNCING
FROM VFR TO MVFR THIS AFTERNOON. IFR CONDITIONS SHOULD SLIDE IN
ESPECIALLY AT THE KSAV AREA LATE TONIGHT. LOW CONFIDENCE AS THE
TIMING AND LOCATION OF SHOWER ACTIVITY AFTER MIDNIGHT. THINK THERE
WILL BE ACTIVITY AROUND BUT MAY NOT IMPACT EITHER TERMINAL
DIRECTLY. WILL CONTINUE TO MONITOR TRENDS AND WILL AMEND AS
NECESSARY.

EXTENDED AVIATION OUTLOOK...OCCASIONAL MVFR OR LOWER CONDITIONS
ARE POSSIBLE 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...
DESPITE A STRONG UPPER LEVEL LOW APPROACHING FROM THE WEST...THE
SURFACE REFLECTION REMAINS SOMEWHAT WEAK THIS MORNING. A BROAD
WAVE OF LOW PRESSURE HAS DEVELOPED OFF THE GEORGIA COASTLINE...WITH
LATEST OBSERVATIONS ACROSS THE COASTAL WATERS INDICATING MAINLY
SOUTH-SOUTHEAST FLOW. WIND SPEEDS IN THE SOUTH CAROLINA WATERS ARE
AROUND 15 TO 20 KT...WITH WEAKER WINDS IN THE GEORGIA ZONES NEAR
THE CENTER OF THE SURFACE LOW.

WILL ALLOW THE SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY FOR THE OUTER GEORGIA WATERS
TO EXPIRE AT NOON...AS SEAS ARE CURRENTLY BELOW 6 FT AT THE
OFFSHORE TOWERS. ELSEWHERE...WINDS AND 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.
