AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE CHARLESTON SC
1257 PM EST THU DEC 11 2008

.SYNOPSIS...
AN AREA OF LOW PRESSURE WILL MOVE NORTHEASTWARD TO WEST OF THE
AREA TODAY...PULLING A COLD FRONT THROUGH THE AREA THIS EVENING.
HIGH PRESSURE WILL BUILD IN BEHIND THE FRONT FOR FRIDAY AND THE
WEEKEND. A WEAK COASTAL TROUGH MAY FORM MONDAY...THEN DISSIPATE
TUESDAY AS A WEAK COLD FRONT APPROACHES FROM THE WEST AND STALLS
NORTH OF THE AREA WEDNESDAY.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 PM THIS EVENING/...
UPDATE...HAVE UPDATED ALL PRODUCTS FOR THE EXPIRATION OF TORNADO
WATCH 950 WHICH EXPIRED AT 17Z /NOON/ TODAY. TORNADO WATCH 952
CONTINUES THROUGH 00Z /7 PM/ THIS EVENING. THERE MAY BE OCCASIONAL
UPDATES TO THE WCN PRODUCT TO CLEAR OUT COUNTIES AS WARRANTED WITH
THE PROGRESS OF THE SQUALL LINE THROUGH SOUTH CAROLINA.

998MB LOW HAS STALLED OVER CENTRAL AL AND IS DRIFTING NWD WHILE THE
POTENT UPPER LEVEL LOW BARRELLING THROUGH MS/LA SLOWLY MOVES NNE.
THE UPPER LOW SHOWS UP NICELY ON WV IMAGERY BECOMING INCREASINGLY
WOUND UP. IN TERMS OF SFC WX...TWO MAIN AREAS OF PRECIP ARE
AFFECTING THE CHS CWFA. ONE IS A BATCH OF MAINLY LIGHT WITH ISOLD
HVY SHOWERS STREAMING NWD OVER FAR ERN PARTS OF THE CHS WHILE A
SQUALL LINE APPROACHES FAR WRN PORTIONS OF THE CWFA. THE ERN SHOWERS
DO NOT POSE MUCH A WIND THREAT WHILE THE WRN STORMS MAKE EFFECTIVE
USE OF H925 50KT WINDS IN ADDITION TO RAPID STORM MOTIONS. AS THIS
LINE MOVES E...HVY RAIN AND WIND THREAT WILL AFFECT MUCH OF THE CHS
CWFA. OF NOTE ARE THE CONTINUED MOIST CONDITIONS /SFC DEWPOINTS IN
THE MID 60S/ WITH SFC TEMPS ARND 70. THERE MAY NOT BE MUCH
ADDITIONAL WARMING AHEAD OF THE LINE DUE TO THE THICK CLOUD COVER...
BUT THE BREAK IN THE PRECIP OVER CENTRAL PORTIONS OF THE CWFA MAY BE
ENOUGH TO ALSO PRODUCE LESSER CLOUD COVER AND ALLOW SOME SFC WARMING
INTO THE 71-75 DEGREE RANGE. THIS WOULD SIGNIFICANTLY INCREASE
INSTABILITY THAT WOULD WORK IN CONCERT WITH 0-1KM HELICITIES OF
150-250 AND 0-6KM BULK SHEAR OF 50-60 KT. AS FAR AS INSTABILITY
POTENTIAL...MODIFIED CHS RAOB SHOWS CAPE NEAR 1000 J/KG WITHIN A
RATHER MOIST PROFILE.

OVERALL...THERE IS A GROWING HAZARD FOR SEVERE WX /MAINLY FOR
DAMAGING WINDS AND ISOLD TORNADOES/ ACROSS THE CHS CWFA TDA AS
EVIDENCED BY THE RECENT TOR WATCH ISSUED FOR THE ENTIRE AREA.

HAVE TWEAKED TEMPS TO SHOW A STEADY TO FALLING TREND THRU THE DAY.
AS FOR WINDS...LATEST GUIDANCE AND CHS 12Z RAOB INDICATES WINDS
SHOULD REMAIN JUST BELOW WIND ADVY LEVELS SO WILL NOT NEED A WIND
ADVY ATTM.

LAKE WINDS...
LLVL WIND FIELDS WILL GRADUALLY STRENGTHEN BY EARLY AFTN OVER LAKE
MOULTRIE...DESPITE THE COOLER LAKE WATERS...WITH SUCH A STRONG
GRADIENT ANTICIPATED. ALTHOUGH THE STRONGEST WINDS WILL BE NEAR THE
LAKE SHORES...WILL MAINTAIN THE LAKE WIND ADVY AS IS.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 PM THIS EVENING THROUGH 6 AM FRIDAY/...
THE STORM SYSTEM WILL TRACK FROM THE WESTERN CAROLINAS THIS EVENING
INTO SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND BY FRIDAY MORNING...AND THIS WILL DRAG A
COLD FRONT THROUGH THE FORECAST AREA THIS EVENING. WILL CONTINUE TO
CARRY LIKELY POPS NORTH AND CHANCE POPS SOUTH THIS EVENING...THEN
TAPER TO CHANCE POPS NORTH AND DRY CONDITIONS SOUTH AFTER MIDNIGHT.
WILL CONTINUE TO MENTION THUNDER IN THE EVENING AS WELL WITH
IMPRESSIVE H5 TROUGH SWINGING OVERHEAD. OVERNIGHT LOWS WILL BE MUCH
COOLER THAN THE PAST SEVERAL NIGHTS...BOTTOMING OUT IN THE LOW TO
MID 40S ACROSS THE AREA.

LAKE WINDS...THERE MAY BE A BRIEF LULL IN WINDS OF LAKE MOULTRIE
FROM LATE THIS AFTERNOON THROUGH EARLY THIS EVENING PRIOR TO THE
COLD FRONTAL PASSAGE. ONCE THE COLD FRONT PUSHES THROUGH EXPECT
WINDS TO RAPIDLY INCREASE BY LATE THIS EVENING AS COLD AIR ADVECTION
POURS OVER THE LAKE...AND WILL KEEP THE LAKE WIND ADVISORY IN EFFECT
THROUGH MID MORNING FRIDAY.

&&

.LONG TERM /FRIDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/...
FAIRLY GOOD FORECAST CONFIDENCE THROUGH THE PERIOD. HIGH PRESSURE
WILL BUILD IN BEHIND A DEPARTING AREA OF LOW PRESSURE FRI...THEN SET
UP N AND NE OF THE AREA THROUGH THE WEEKEND. MEANWHILE A COASTAL
TROUGH WILL DEVELOP OFFSHORE SUN AND PUSH ONSHORE MON AS A COLD
FRONT APPROACHES FROM THE W. MAINLY A DRY FORECAST THROUGH THE
PERIOD OUTSIDE OF A FEW SHOWERS POSSIBLE WITH THE COASTAL TROUGH
SUN/MON AND THE APPROACHING FRONT WED. HOWEVER...PREFER TO LEAVE THE
FORECAST DRY FOR NOW. BELOW NORMAL TEMPS FRI THROUGH SAT NIGHT WILL
BECOME ABOVE NORMAL THEREAFTER INTO THE MIDDLE OF NEXT WEEK.

&&

.AVIATION /18Z THURSDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...
THE LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM LOCATED OVER NORTHWEST GEORGIA WILL
CONTINUE PUSHING NORTHEASTWARD. THIS WILL CAUSE WINDS TO BECOME
VARIABLE AND MORE GUSTY ESPECIALLY DURING THE LATE AFTERNOON
HOURS. SHOWER ACTIVITY IS EXPECTED TO LAST THROUGH THE EVENING AT
BOTH TERMINALS. THERE WILL BE A FEW BREAKS IN THE ACTIVITY AND
THEN A SECOND PUSH OF LIGHT SHOWERS WILL COME THROUGH THE AREA
NEAR MIDNIGHT AND LASTING FOR A FEW HOURS THEREAFTER.

CONDITIONS WILL BE MAINLY MVFR THROUGH THE FORECAST PERIOD DUE TO
THE LOW STRATUS THAT WILL CONTINUE TO HANG AROUND INTO FRIDAY
AFTERNOON. VISIBILITIES ARE ONLY EXPECTED TO BE REDUCED TO MVFR
WHEN ASSOCIATED WITH THE SHOWERS. OTHERWISE...WINDS AT THE
SURFACE WILL BE TOO STRONG TO SUPPORT ANY DEVELOPMENT OF GROUND
FOG.

EXTENDED AVIATION...A COLD FRONT WILL MOVE OFFSHORE FRI MORNING
FOLLOWED BY HIGH PRES OVER THE WEEKEND WHICH WILL MAKE FOR
PREVAILING VFR CONDITIONS.

&&

.MARINE...
UPDATE...HAVE UPDATED THE COASTAL WATERS FORECAST TO REFLECT THE
EXPIRATION OF TORNADO WATCH 950 AT 17Z. TORNADO WATCH 952
CONTINUES THROUGH 00Z...WHICH COVERS ALL THE SOUTH CAROLINA
COASTAL WATERS.

AN AREA OF LOW PRESSURE OVER THE WESTERN FLORIDA PANHANDLE WILL
INTENSIFY AS IT PULLS NORTHEAST THROUGH CENTRAL GEORGIA AND INTO THE
WESTERN CAROLINAS BY THIS EVENING. THE STORM SYSTEM WILL THEN
CONTINUE TO MOVE OFF TO THE NORTHEAST AND INTO SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND
BY FRIDAY MORNING. STRONG LOW LEVEL WIND FIELDS WILL DEVELOP IN
RESPONSE TO THE STRENGTHENING STORM SYSTEM...RESULTING IN SMALL
CRAFT CONDITIONS ACROSS ALL WATERS AND GALE FORCE WINDS ACROSS THE
OUTER GEORGIA WATERS. GOING HEADLINES LOOK IN GOOD SHAPE...AND ONLY
ALTERATION WILL BE TO EXTEND SMALL CRAFTS INTO MID MORNING FRIDAY.

SLOWLY IMPROVING MARINE CONDITIONS FRI AND FRI NIGHT AS LOW PRES
EXITS THE NC/VA COAST AND HIGH PRES MOVES INTO THE AREA FROM THE
W. SEAS WILL BEGIN TO BUILD AGAIN OVER THE WEEKEND THOUGH AS HIGH
PRES BUILDS N OF THE AREA ALLOWING A FAVORABLE NE FETCH TO SET UP.
A WEAK COASTAL TROUGH LOOKS TO DEVELOP EARLY NEXT WEEK WHILE THE
HIGH PRES SETTLES OFF THE SRN NEW ENGLAND COAST. AN EXTENDED
PERIOD OF SMALL CRAFT ADVISORIES ARE LIKELY BEGINNING LATE
SAT...MAINLY FOR SEAS.

&&

.HYDROLOGY...
WITH HEAVY RAINFALL ANTICIPATED ACROSS GA...EXPECT A RISE IN RIVER
LEVELS INTO THE WEEKEND...WITH THE LATEST FORECAST FROM THE SE
RIVER FORECAST CENTER INDICATING REIDSVILLE ON THE OHOOPEE RIVER
MAY GET WITHIN A HALF FOOT OF FLOOD STAGE SUN MORNING.

&&

.TIDES/COASTAL FLOODING...
TIDAL DEPARTURES WERE CONSISTENTLY 0.4 TO 0.6 FEET BELOW PREDICTED
LEVELS THIS MORNING. IN ADDITION...THERE WAS LITTLE TO NO RAINFALL
THAT CONTRIBUTED TO ANY HIGH TIDES DURING THE HIGH TIDE CYCLE SO THE
COASTAL FLOOD ADVISORY WAS ALLOWED TO EXPIRE. WE MAY BE DEALING WITH
MORE SHALLOW COASTAL FLOODING OVER THE WEEKEND AND INTO EARLY NEXT
WEEK WITH ASTRONOMICALLY HIGH TIDES.

THE NEXT CONCERN TURNS TO HIGH TIDES...ESPECIALLY ALONG COASTAL SC.
PREDICTED WAVE HEIGHTS WITHIN 20NM OF SHORE WILL REACH 9 FEET
THROUGH TONIGHT...AND POSSIBLY 10 FEET. CONSIDERING THE SOLID
ONSHORE FLOW EXPECTED DURING THIS TIME...BREAKERS REACHING 5 FEET
CAN BE EXPECTED. THEREFORE...HAVE OPTED TO RAISE A HIGH SURF ADVY
FOR THE SC COAST LASTING THROUGH EARLY TOMORROW MORNING. BY THAT
TIME...WINDS SHOULD SHIFT TO A MORE OFFSHORE DIRECTION WHICH WILL
ALLOW THE SURF TO DIMINISH AND END THE HAZARD.

&&

.CHS WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
GA...NONE.
SC...TORNADO WATCH UNTIL 7 PM EST THIS EVENING FOR SCZ040-042>045-
     047>051.
