AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE CHARLESTON SC
115 PM EST SAT NOV 29 2008

.SYNOPSIS...
A STATIONARY FRONT WILL REMAIN ACROSS THE AREA THROUGH TONIGHT AS
WAVES OF LOW PRES MOVE ALONG THE BOUNDARY. A STRONGER COLD FRONT
WILL THEN MOVE THROUGH BY LATE SUNDAY...FOLLOWED BY HIGH PRES
MONDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY. A WEAK COLD FRONT WILL CROSS THE AREA
THURSDAY AND REMAIN NOT FAR TO THE SE ON FRIDAY.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 PM THIS EVENING/...
MORNING SURFACE ANALYSIS SHOWS A WARM FRONT STRETCHED FROM JUST
SOUTH OF AUGUSTA TO SUMMERVILLE TO GEORGETOWN. LITTLE MOTION HAS
OCCURRED DURING THE PAST FEW HOURS ALTHOUGH IT IS EXPECTED TO
SLOWLY DRIFT NORTH DURING THE DAY WITH THE APPROACH OF AN UPPER
SHORTWAVE. THE AXIS OF HEAVIEST RAIN REMAINS ALONG THE NORTHERN
HALF OF THE AREA...RIGHT ALONG THE FRONTAL BOUNDARY. THIS PATTERN
SHOULD CONTINUE TODAY...WITH THE HEAVIEST RAINFALL BRIEFLY
DRIFTING NORTH OF OUR FORECAST AREA DURING THE AFTERNOON. SOUTHERN
AREAS WILL ONLY SEE ISOLATED TO SCATTERED SHOWERS TODAY. HAVE
ADJUSTED POPS DOWNWARD A BIT OVER SOUTHERN AREAS ALTHOUGH
MAINTAINED CATEGORICAL POPS OVER THE NORTH.

IMPRESSIVE WIND FIELDS ARE FOUND OVER THE REGION TODAY WITH 30-40
KT LOW LEVEL JET...A MID LEVEL JET AS STRONG AS 70 KT...AND UPPER
LEVEL JET MAX UP TO 120 KT. THESE STRONG DYNAMICS AND VARIOUS
SHORT WAVES /ONE SUCH SHORT WAVE LATE THIS AFTERNOON/ WILL HELP IN
THE POSSIBLE DEVELOPMENT OF BOTH SURFACE BASED AND ELEVATED TSTMS
THIS AFTERNOON. SBCAPES REACH 300-400 J/KG...LIFTED INDICES ARE
DOWN TO -1/-2. NOT IMPRESSIVE...BUT ENOUGH THAT SOME CONVECTION
COULD FORM...AND WITH 0-6KM BULK SHEAR OVER 50 KT AND HELICITY
VALUES UP TO 300 M2/SEC2 WE CANNOT ENTIRELY RULE OUT ISOLATED
STRONG TSTMS OR EVEN A POSSIBLE WEAK SPIN UP TORNADO NEAR THE
FRONTAL BOUNDARY. HOWEVER...WITH WEAK LAPSE RATES THE RISK DOES
NOT LOOK HIGH ENOUGH TO INCLUDE IN THE FORECAST BUT WE WILL
MENTION IN THE HWO.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 PM THIS EVENING THROUGH 6 PM SUNDAY/...
OUR FIRST CONCERN FOR THE FORECAST TONIGHT AND SUNDAY IS HOW FAR
NW IS THE FRONT ABLE TO MOVE. MODEL GUIDANCE SUGGESTS THAT THERE
IS ENOUGH OF A S-SW LOW LEVEL JET /40 KT OR GREATER/ TO PUSH THE
FRONT A BIT FURTHER NW TONIGHT/EARLY SUNDAY. HOWEVER...WITH
CONSIDERABLE RAINS NORTH OF THE FRONT WITHIN THE WEDGE AND
CLIMATOLOGY FAVORING A MORE SOUTHERN TRACK...WE PRESENTLY
ANTICIPATE A SLIGHTLY FURTHER SOUTHWARD POSITION OF THE FRONT. WE
WILL SHOW A POSITION NOT FAR FROM WHERE THE BOUNDARY IS EXPECTED
THIS AFTERNOON...ROUGHLY FROM KCHS-KRBW-KJYL DURING TONIGHT. THEN
AS A STRONG SHORT WAVE MOVES IN FROM THE WSW ON SUNDAY...AS
STRONGER SURFACE WAVE WILL MOVE ACROSS SE GA AND OFF THE SC COAST
AND SWING A STRONG COLD FRONT THROUGH THE AREA BY EVENING.

RAIN CHANCES WILL REMAIN ELEVATED TONIGHT AND SUNDAY...WITH NEAR
100 PERCENT POPS IN MOST AREAS EXCEPT FAR SE TONIGHT...AND 100
POPS ALL LOCATIONS SUNDAY. HEAVY RAINS ARE CERTAINLY POSSIBLE WITH
PWATS 1.5 INCHES OR GREATER AND STRONG DYNAMICS YET AGAIN. IN
ADDITION TO LOW LEVEL JET...60-70 KT MID LEVEL JETTING PERSISTS
TONIGHT AND SUNDAY...WITH 110 KT UPPER LEVEL JET TONIGHT AND 120
KT OR GREATER ON SUNDAY. WHILE THERE IS LITTLE SB CAPE...OUR LIFTED
INDICES ARE PERIODICALLY BELOW ZERO...AND THERE REMAINS PLENTY OF
BULK SHEAR FROM 0-6 KM AND MODEST HELICITY. THUS WE WILL AGAIN
CARRY MENTION OF THUNDERSTORMS IN THE FORECAST AND HWO. OUTSIDE
CHANCE OF STRONG WIND GUSTS AND PERHAPS A BRIEF SPIN UP ALONG THE
FRONTAL BOUNDARY WITH DECENT INSTABILITY PARAMETERS FOR THIS TIME
OF YEAR.

LOOK FOR A LARGE RANGE OF TEMPS WITH FRONT DRAPED ACROSS THE AREA
TONIGHT...THEN LITTLE CHANGE IN MOST TEMPS SUNDAY /PERHAPS EVEN
FALLING IN WAKE OF THE TRAILING COLD FRONT LATER IN THE DAY OVER
FAR INLAND AREAS/.

&&

.LONG TERM /SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY/...
SUNDAY NIGHT AND MONDAY...LINGERING PRECIP WITH THE FRONT SUNDAY
EVENING WILL TAPER OFF FROM WEST TO EAST THROUGH THE NIGHT WITH
GRADUAL CLEAR. COLD AIR ADVECTION DEVELOPING IN WAKE OF THE FRONT
WILL SEND TEMPS DOWN INTO THE 40S BY MONDAY MORNING. LITTLE TO NO
CHANCE OF PRECIP MONDAY...WHICH WILL BE A WINDY AND COOLER DAY
DESPITE A FAIR AMOUNT OF SUNSHINE. MAX TEMPS LOOK TO STRUGGLE TO
EVEN REACH 60 WITH A SECONDARY COLD FRONT TO MOVE THROUGH.

MONDAY NIGHT...ADDITIONAL COLD AIR ADVECTION AND PASSAGE OF THE
LOW AND MID LEVEL TROUGH LATE WILL DROP TEMPS DOWN INTO THE 30S
WITH MOSTLY CLEAR SKIES.

TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY...HIGH PRES WILL MOVE IN FROM THE
WEST...WITH ZONAL FLOW ALOFT DEVELOPING. THIS KEEPS US RAIN-FREE
AND GENERALLY CLEAR. MAX TEMPS NO HIGHER THAN 60 MOST AREAS...WITH
COLD NIGHTS. BEST RADIATIONAL COOLING NIGHT LOOKS TO BE TUESDAY
NIGHT...WITH SOME FREEZING TEMPS LIKELY FAR INLAND.

THURSDAY AND FRIDAY...NEXT COLD FRONT TO MOVE THROUGH AND COULD
STALL NOT FAR TO THE SE LATE IN THE WEEK. LIMITED MOISTURE TO WORK
WITH DUE TO THE ZONAL FLOW ALOFT. THUS WE HAVE MAINTAINED A DRY
FORECAST. MODERATING TEMPS BOTH DAYS...WITH READINGS CLOSER TO NORMAL.

&&

.AVIATION /18Z SATURDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/...
THE FRONTAL BOUNDARY RESPONSIBLE FOR MUCH OF THE LOW CLOUDS AND
FOG THIS MORNING HAS SHIFTED NORTH OF THE FORECAST AREA...WITH
IMPROVED CONDITIONS AT BOTH TERMINALS. AXIS OF HEAVIEST RAIN
SHOULD REMAIN ALONG THE FRONT THIS EVENING...NORTH OF EITHER
TERMINAL. HOWEVER SCATTERED SHOWERS WILL IMPACT BOTH TERMINALS
DURING THIS PERIOD. MORE PREVAILING MODERATE TO OCCASIONALLY HEAVY
SHOWERS WILL MOVE IN OVERNIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY WITH SEVERAL UPPER
LEVEL SHORTWAVES AND THE MAIN COLD FRONT LATE SUNDAY. CONDITIONS
DO NOT APPEAR RIPE FOR PROLONGED IFR CEILINGS DUE TO SUCH STRONG
WIND FIELDS IN THE LOWER ATMOSPHERE.

MAINTAINED WIND SHEAR AROUND DAYBREAK FOR BOTH TERMINALS DURING A
LULL IN SFC WINDS BUT WITH VERY STRONG 925 MB WINDS AHEAD OF THE
SHORTWAVE. RATHER STEADY MODERATE TO HEAVY RAIN EXPECTED ON
SUNDAY.

EXTENDED AVIATION OUTLOOK...MVFR/IFR CONDITIONS WILL OCCUR THROUGH
SUNDAY NIGHT. VFR WEATHER WILL THEN RETURN MON THROUGH THU.

&&

.MARINE...
QUASI-STATIONARY FRONT JUST NORTH OF THE WATERS THIS MORNING WILL
SLOWLY LIFT N THROUGH TONIGHT WHILE AN INCREASING SOUTHERLY FLOW
DEVELOPS AHEAD OF A STRONG UPPER LEVEL TROUGH. ALTHOUGH WINDS WILL
PROBABLY REMAIN BELOW SMALL CRAFT THRESHOLDS TODAY...SEAS OVER
OUTER GA WATERS WILL LIKELY PUSH ABOVE 6 FT BY MIDDAY...THUS HAVE
INITIALIZED LATE MORNING UPDATE PACKAGE WITH SMALL CRAFT THERE.

PRIMARY WIND SURGE BEGINS TONIGHT THROUGH SUN NIGHT WITH 925 MB
WINDS INCREASING TO AS HIGH AS 60 KT OVER THE SC NEARSHORE BY SUN
AFTERNOON. SMALL CRAFT ADVISORIES START-UP TONIGHT INTO TOMORROW
FOR THE REMAINDER OF THE WATERS. GALE FORCE GUSTS LATE TONIGHT
INTO SUNDAY NIGHT ARE QUITE POSSIBLE ALTHOUGH LATER SHIFTS WILL
NEED TO DETERMINE NEED FOR GALE WATCH/WARNINGS.

THE AFOREMENTIONED FRONT WILL GAIN ENOUGH IMPETUS TO PUSH THROUGH
THE WATERS SUN NIGHT INTO MON MORNING...ALLOWING WINDS TO VEER TO
W-NW BEHIND IT FOR MON. COLD AIR ADVECTION BEHIND THE FRONT WILL
MAINTAIN GOOD MIXING PROFILES AND ELEVATED WINDS. CONDITIONS THEN
IMPROVE TUE-WED AS HIGH PRES RETURNS FROM THE W AND THE TIGHT PRES
GRADIENT BREAKS DOWN.

&&

.TIDES/COASTAL FLOODING...
AM STILL CONCERNED WITH ELEVATED SURF AND POSSIBLE BEACH EROSION AND
SHALLOW COASTAL FLOODING MAINLY SUNDAY INTO SUNDAY EVENING AS STRONG
SURGING OVER THE WATERS CREATES A FAVORABLE FETCH FROM THE S. THIS
WILL BRING WAVES UP TO 6-9 FT TO NRN PORTIONS OF THE SC COASTAL
WATERS. IF THERE IS A MORE SOUTHERLY THAN WESTERLY COMPONENT...
BREAKERS COULD REACH AS HIGH AS 6 FT AT TIMES WHICH WOULD JUST REACH
HIGH SURF ADVY CRITERIA.

AS FOR TIDAL EFFECTS...ALTHOUGH ASTRONOMICAL EFFECTS LOOK TO BE AT A
MINIMUM OR AT LEAST WANING...HEIGHTS OF 5.7 FT MLLW AT CHARLESTON
HARBOR AND 7.3 FT MLLW AT FT PULASKI ARE EXPECTED DURING THE SUN
MORNING HIGH TIDE CYCLE. SHOULD HEAVY RAIN BE FALLING AT THE TIME OF
HIGH TIDE AND THE HIGH SEAS OCCURRING ALSO AT THAT TIME...THEN THE
INGREDIENTS WOULD BE THERE TO POTENTIALLY HAVE SOME MINOR BEACH
EROSION AND/OR SHALLOW COASTAL FLOODING.

WILL MAINTAIN MENTION OF THESE HAZARDS IN THE HWO AND CONTINUE TO
EVALUATE THE NEED FOR ANY ADDITIONAL COASTAL HAZARD MESSAGES.

&&

.CHS WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
GA...NONE.
SC...NONE.
MARINE...SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY FROM 9 AM TO 11 PM EST SUNDAY FOR AMZ352-
     354.
     SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY UNTIL 5 AM EST TUESDAY FOR AMZ374.
     SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY FROM 10 PM THIS EVENING TO 5 PM EST
     MONDAY FOR AMZ350.
