AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE CHARLESTON SC
354 PM EDT TUE APR 1 2008

.SYNOPSIS...
WEAK HIGH PRESSURE OVER THE REGION TONIGHT WILL GIVE WAY TO A
BACKDOOR COLD FRONT WEDNESDAY. A HIGH PRESSURE WEDGE WILL DEVELOP
IN WAKE OF THE FRONT LATE WEDNESDAY THROUGH THURSDAY...AND A
COASTAL TROUGH WILL DEVELOP OVER THE COASTAL WATERS. HIGH PRESSURE
WILL THEN EXTEND ACROSS FL AND SOUTHERN GA FRIDAY. A COLD FRONT
WILL PUSH THROUGH THE REGION SATURDAY. HIGH PRESSURE WILL RETURN
SUNDAY AND MONDAY.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM WEDNESDAY MORNING/...
SCATTERED SHOWERS/ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS WILL LINGER INTO THIS
EVENING...WITH THE POTENTIAL FOR THUNDER WANING WITH DIURNAL
STABILIZATION AFTER DARK...AND WITH POPS TAPERING TO SLIGHT CHANCE
ACROSS NORTHERN/WESTERN COUNTIES OVERNIGHT AS THE WEAKENING UPPER
TROUGH AXIS PULLS AWAY. IN FACT...WOULD NOT BE SURPRISED IF THE
OVERNIGHT HOURS REMAIN RAIN FREE ACROSS THE REGION. MEANWHILE...A
WEAK SURFACE PRESSURE GRADIENT WILL SETTLE OVER THE REGION
OVERNIGHT...AND LOW LEVEL MOISTURE WILL SUPPORT AT LEAST AREAS OF
FOG...ESPECIALLY AFTER MIDNIGHT. IF SKIES CLEAR TO A GREATER DEGREE
THAN EXPECTED...DENSE FOG COULD BECOME WIDESPREAD.
OTHERWISE...EXPECT AN UNSEASONABLY MILD NIGHT...WITH LOWS RANGING
FROM THE UPPER 50S TO MID 60S.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 AM WEDNESDAY MORNING THROUGH 6 PM WEDNESDAY/...
FORECAST CONCERNS CENTER ON TIMING/IMPACT OF BACK DOOR COLD FRONT.
RELATIVELY MINOR TIMING DIFFERENCES BETWEEN THE SLOWER 12Z NAM AND
THE MORE PROGRESSIVE 12Z GFS TRANSLATE TO SIGNIFICANT DIFFERENCES IN
TEMPERATURES...WINDS AND EVEN POPS. THIS FORECAST WILL REPRESENT A
COMPROMISE...SLIGHTLY WEIGHTED IN FAVOR OF THE FASTER GFS SOLUTION.
THIS SCENARIO PUSHES THE FRONT THROUGH NORTHERN COUNTIES DURING THE
EARLY AFTERNOON...WITH TEMPERATURES FALLING BACK INTO THE 60S IN THE
WAKE OF THE FRONT...WHILE TEMPERATURES MAY TOP OUT IN THE LOWER TO
MID 80S ACROSS INLAND SOUTHERN COUNTIES BEFORE FROPA DURING THE
LATTER HALF OF THE AFTERNOON. MEANWHILE...12Z GUIDANCE SUGGESTS THAT
SHOWERS COULD BECOME NUMEROUS WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON. PER AREA
CONSENSUS...WILL CONTINUE CHANCE POPS CAPPED AT 50%...ASSOCIATED
WITH FROPA WEDNESDAY. THE BEST CHANCE FOR THUNDERSTORMS SHOULD
REMAIN FOCUSED OVER SOUTHERN COUNTIES...WHERE SBCAPES COULD PUSH
INTO THE 1000-1500 J/KG RANGE. SHOWALTER INDICES REMAINING ZERO OR
HIGHER AND 700-500 MB LAPSE RATES REMAINING BELOW 6 C/KM AND
GREATEST SHEAR REMAINING JUST NORTH OF THE SURFACE BOUNDARY SUGGEST
THAT THE SEVERE POTENTIAL WILL REMAIN LIMITED WEDNESDAY
AFTERNOON...PER THE SPC DAY 2 5 PERCENT RISK FOR SEVERE ACROSS THE
SOUTHERN HALF OF THE FORECAST AREA. IF THE FRONT IS SLOWER PER 12Z
NAM GUIDANCE...GREATER INSTABILITY AND THE POTENTIAL FOR THUNDER
WILL EXPAND TO INCLUDE MOST OF THE FORECAST AREA.

&&

.LONG TERM /WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY/...
SURFACE COLD FRONT LIKELY TO BE SOUTH OF THE AREA BY
WEDNESDAY EVENING AS A WEDGE OF HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS DOWN THE EAST
SIDE OF THE APPALACHIANS. WEDGE WILL GIVE WAY TO MOST OF AREA BY
LATE THURSDAY AND THURSDAY NIGHT AS THE CENTER OF THE HIGH PRESSURE
SHIFTS WELL OFF THE MID ATLANTIC COAST. PERIOD FROM WEDNESDAY NIGHT
THROUGH FRIDAY NIGHT TO BE DOMINATED BY GENERALLY ZONAL WESTERLY
FLOW IN THE UPPER LEVELS OF THE ATMOSPHERE WITH SOME WEAK
DISTURBANCES MOVING THROUGH. WITH AMPLE MOISTURE AROUND...A WARM
FRONTAL BOUNDARY IN THE AREA THURSDAY AFTERNOON AND EVENING AND A
SEA BREEZE BOUNDARY EACH AFTERNOON...THERE IS A DECENT CHANCE FOR
SHOWERS THROUGH THE TIME PERIOD ALONG WITH A CHANCE FOR
THUNDERSTORMS FRIDAY AFTERNOON. HIGHS ON THURSDAY WILL TAKE AWHILE
TO RECOVER AS WEDGE SLOWLY GIVES WAY...BUT FEEL THAT LATE DAY HIGHS
SHOULD REACH THE MID 60S IN FAR INLAND AREAS TO UPPER 60S AND LOWER
70S ELSEWHERE. THURSDAY NIGHT SHOULD BE QUITE MILD WITH THE WARM
FRONT NORTH OF THE AREA. FRIDAY LOOKS TO BE THE WARMEST DAY WITH
HIGHS IN MANY AREAS AWAY FROM THE COAST CLOSE TO 80 DEGREES.

A DECENT UPPER LEVEL DISTURBANCE SHOULD APPROACH THE AREA SATURDAY
WITH THE ASSOCIATED COLD FRONT MOVING THROUGH THE AREA SATURDAY
NIGHT. LOOKS LIKE THERE IS A THREAT FOR SEVERE WEATHER ALONG AND
AHEAD OF THE FRONT AS TEMPERATURES WELL INTO THE 70S COMBINED WITH
DEWPOINTS AT LEAST IN THE LOW TO MID 60S AND DECENT WIND FIELDS
COULD RESULT IN SOME ORGANIZED STORMS...ESPECIALLY IF THE FRONT OR A
CONVERGENCE BOUNDARY WERE TO MOVE THROUGH THE AREA NEAR MAX HEATING
TIME.

AT THE PRESENT TIME...IT LOOKS LIKE SUNDAY THROUGH TUESDAY WILL BE
DRY WITH HIGHS NEAR NORMAL...IN THE LOWER TO MID 70S IN MOST AREAS.

&&

.AVIATION /20Z TUESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/...
TUESDAY AFTERNOON/EARLY EVENING...SHOWERS/THUNDERSTORMS WILL
IMPACT AREAS OVER/NEAR BOTH TERMINALS. EXPECT AMENDMENTS TO
ACCOUNT FOR NEAR TERM CONVECTIVE TRENDS. TONIGHT...VFR CONDITIONS
WILL DETERIORATE TO IFR/LIFR CEILINGS/VISIBILITIES WITHIN A
MOIST/LIGHT WIND REGIME AHEAD OF AN APPROACHING COLD FRONT.
CONDITIONS SHOULD THEN IMPROVE SOMEWHAT WEDNESDAY MORNING...WITH A
PERIOD OF VFR CONDITIONS POSSIBLE BEFORE A BACKDOOR COLD FRONT
PUSHES THROUGH THE TERMINALS. TIMING OF THIS FRONT...WHICH WILL
PRODUCE AT LEAST SCATTERED SHOWERS/THUNDERSTORMS AND AREAS OF MVFR
CEILINGS...REMAINS UNCERTAIN. THE 18Z FORECAST PACKAGE DELAYS
FROPA UNTIL AFTER 18Z WEDNESDAY...BUT AN EARLIER FROPA AS
SUGGESTED BY 12Z GFS GUIDANCE WILL SHIFT WINDS QUICKLY TO THE NE
AND MAY PROLONG THE PERIOD OF SUB-VFR CONDITIONS.

EXTENDED AVIATION OUTLOOK...PERIODS OF MVFR OR LOWER CONDITIONS
MAY PERSIST THROUGH THURSDAY AS A WEDGE OF HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS
OVER THE REGION. VFR CONDITIONS EXPECTED ON FRIDAY...THEN MVFR OR
LOWER CONDITIONS POSSIBLE AGAIN SATURDAY WITH THE APPROACH AND
PASSAGE OF A STRONG COLD FRONT.

&&

.MARINE...
THROUGH WEDNESDAY...PLAN NO CHANGES TO THE ONGOING SMALL CRAFT
ADVISORIES IN EFFECT OUTSIDE CHS HARBOR. SCA CRITERIA SEAS WILL
PERSIST ACROSS COASTAL WATERS OVERNIGHT...DOMINATED BY A CONTINUING
8-10 SECOND PERIOD EASTERLY SWELL...AND THESE ELEVATED SEAS WILL
PERSIST ACROSS AMZ350-374 THROUGH WEDNESDAY. MEANWHILE...IN THE WAKE
OF BACKDOOR COLD FROPA WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON...WINDS WILL SHIFT RAPIDLY
TO THE NE AND WILL APPROACH SCA THRESHOLDS...EARLIEST ACROSS SC
WATERS. BECAUSE OF UNCERTAINTY REGARDING FROPA/WIND SHIFT TIMING AND
REGARDING THE STRENGTH OF POST FROPA WINDS AT THE COAST...WILL NOT
RAISE A SCA FOR CHS HARBOR IN THIS PACKAGE.

LARGE SWELLS ARE EXPECTED TO CONTINUE TO IMPACT THE COASTAL
WATERS FROM WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH THE WEEKEND. A PINCHING OF THE
GRADIENT EXPECTED BEHIND THE COLD FRONT WEDNESDAY NIGHT AND INTO
THURSDAY MORNING BEFORE THE GRADIENT RELAXES. WINDS ESPECIALLY
BEYOND 20NM OF THE COAST EXPECTED TO EXCEED 20 KNOTS WEDNESDAY
NIGHT AND INTO THURSDAY.

RIP CURRENTS...THE COMBINATION OF 3 TO 4 FOOT SWELLS WITH PERIODS
8-10 SECONDS WILL IMPACT THAT BEACHES TODAY. THAT ALONG WITH SE-S
WINDS AS HIGH AS 15 OR 20 MPH WILL RESULT IN A MODERATE RISK OF
RIP CURRENTS TODAY. HOWEVER...THERE ARE SOME 5 FOOT SWELLS OVER
THE NEARBY ATLC AND SHOULD SWELL HEIGHT REACH A SOLID 4 FEET OR
HIGHER AND/OR WINDS INCREASE MORE THAN NOW ANTICIPATED WITH THE
SEA BREEZE THAN WE MIGHT BE LOOKING AT A HIGH RISK. WE WILL
CONTINUE TO VERY CLOSELY MONITOR THE SITUATION AT THE BEACHES
TODAY.

THE ELEVATED RISK OF RIP CURRENTS WILL CONTINUE AGAIN WEDNESDAY AND
THURSDAY WITH SMALL SWELLS AND CONTINUED ONSHORE FLOW.

&&

.CHS WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
GA...NONE.
SC...NONE.
MARINE...SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY UNTIL 6 AM EDT WEDNESDAY FOR AMZ352-354.
     SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY UNTIL 9 PM EDT SATURDAY FOR AMZ374.
     SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY UNTIL 11 PM EDT THURSDAY FOR AMZ350.
