AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE CHARLESTON SC
929 PM EST SUN FEB 17 2008

.SYNOPSIS...
A STRONG COLD FRONT WILL APPROACH FROM THE WEST TONIGHT AND WILL
MOVE OFFSHORE MONDAY AFTERNOON. COOL HIGH PRESSURE WILL BUILD INTO
THE REGION MONDAY NIGHT AND PERSIST THROUGH MID WEEK. ANOTHER
STORM SYSTEM MAY IMPACT THE AREA BY LATE WEEK AND OVER THE WEEKEND.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM MONDAY MORNING/...
LATE SUNDAY EVENING...ORGANIZED CONVECTION WAS POISED TO ADVANCE
INTO WESTERN COUNTIES OF THE FORECAST AREA. THUNDERSTORMS HAD
REMAINED BELOW SEVERE LIMITS DURING THE LATE EVENING. AS THE
THUNDERSTORMS PUSH INTO THE GRADUALLY COOLING/ STABILIZING
ENVIRONMENT OVER THE FORECAST AREA...DO NOT EXPECT ANY SIGNIFICANT
STRENGTHENING. HOWEVER...DEWPOINTS IN THE 60S CONTINUED TO SPREAD
N/NW FROM THE GULF OF MEXICO/ATLANTIC AHEAD OF CONVECTION...WHILE
THE ENVIRONMENT REMAINED STRONGLY SHEARED...WITH 850 MB WINDS
INCREASING TO 45-50 KNOTS JUTS UPSTREAM. ALSO...SPC MESOANALYSIS
REVEALED 0-1 HELICITY VALUES EXCEEDING 200 M2/S2 SPREADING INTO
THE REGION. THUS...WILL CONTINUE TO MONITOR FOR AN ISOLATED A
DAMAGING WIND/TORNADO THREAT AS THUNDERSTORMS ADVANCE E/NE OVERNIGHT.
LIKELY TO CATEGORICAL POPS REMAIN ON TRACK...EARLIER ADJUSTED
PRECIP TIMING TO ACCOUNT FOR EARLIER ARRIVAL OF
SHOWERS/THUNDERSTORMS.

LAKE WINDS...GUSTY SOUTH WINDS WILL OCCUR ALONG THE SHORES OF LAKE
MOULTRIE OVER THE NEXT FEW HRS AS THE SEA BREEZES PUSHES THROUGH.
WINDS HAVE BEEN GUSTING NEAR 30 MPH AT TIMES AT CHS. WILL MOVE THE
START TIME OF THE LAKE WIND ADVISORY TO THE CURRENT TIME. ALTHOUGH
WINDS MAY DIMINISH A BIT AFTER SUNSET...THEY ARE EXPECTED TO RAMP
BACK UP AFTER 9-10 PM AS THE LLJ STRENGTHENS OVERHEAD. MIXING
PROFILES OVER THE OPEN LAKE WATERS ARE NOT IDEAL WITH LAKE TEMPS
IN THE MID 50S...SO THE GREATEST MIXING WILL LIKELY OCCUR ALONG
THE LAKE SHORES.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 AM MONDAY MORNING THROUGH 6 PM MONDAY/...
WHAT IS LEFT OF THE SQUALL LINE WILL MOVE THROUGH ALL OF SRN SC
AND SE GA MON AS A COLD FRONT MOVES STEADILY E. THE GREATEST
PROBABILITIES FOR SHOWERS/TSTMS WILL OCCUR IN THE MRNG WITH PCPN
DIMINISHING FROM W-E IN THE AFTN. FROPA WILL LIKELY NOT OCCUR
ALONG THE COAST UNTIL AFTER 2-3 PM. RAPID CLRG WILL ENSUE BEHIND
THE FRONT AS DOWNSLOPE TRAJECTORIES TAKE HOLD. THE LATEST SHORT
RANGE ENSEMBLE RUN HITS POPS QUITE HARD SO POPS WILL BE RAISED
INTO THE CATEGORICAL RANGE FOR ALL ZONES FOR THE MRNG HRS. HIGHS
WILL BE TRICKY WITH EXTENSIVE SHOWER AND TSTMS IN THE AREA...BUT
IT APPEARS THE WARMEST TEMPS /AROUND 70/ WILL BE FOUND IN THE LHW-
SAV-NBC-CHS CORRIDOR WITH COOLER TEMPS FARTHER INLAND.

&&

.LONG TERM /MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY/...
MEDIUM RANGE GUIDANCE IS IN GOOD AGREEMENT THROUGH MID WEEK...WITH
SOLUTIONS THEN DIVERGING LEADING TO LOW FORECAST CONFIDENCE FOR THE
END OF THE WEEK THROUGH THE UPCOMING WEEKEND.

HIGH PRESSURE WILL REMAIN THE DOMINANT WEATHER FEATURE OVER THE
REGION MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY NIGHT...RESULTING IN RAIN FREE
WEATHER ACROSS THE AREA. WILL KEEP THE FORECAST DRY THURSDAY AS THE
GFS APPEARS TO BE A FAST OUTLIER BRINGING RAINFALL BACK INTO THE
REGION WHEN COMPARED TO OTHER OPERATIONAL GUIDANCE AND THE GFS
ENSEMBLE SUITE. ALTHOUGH SOLUTIONS DIFFER SIGNIFICANTLY IN THE
THURSDAY THROUGH SUNDAY TIME FRAME...THEY ALL DO SUGGEST THAT HIGH
PRESSURE WILL BREAK DOWN THURSDAY WITH THE PATTERN THEN TURNING
UNSETTLED FOR THE END OF THE WEEK INTO THE WEEKEND AS A SERIES OF
DISTURBANCES MOVE THROUGH THE REGION. GIVEN THE LOW CONFIDENCE
FORECAST...WON/T TRY TO PIN DOWN DETAILS AT THIS TIME...AND WILL
CARRY SLIGHT CHANCE OR CHANCE POPS EACH PERIOD THURSDAY NIGHT
THROUGH SUNDAY.

&&

.AVIATION /02Z MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/...
VFR CONDITIONS WILL DETERIORATE TO MVFR OR LOWER AS A COLD FRONT
APPROACHES OVERNIGHT...ESPECIALLY AS SHOWERS/THUNDERSTORMS ARRIVE
AFTER 06Z. SHOWERS/THUNDERSTORMS WILL PERSIST UNTIL THE COLD FRONT
CLEARS TERMINALS AFTER 18Z MONDAY. EXPECT AMENDMENTS AS NEAR TERM
CONVECTIVE TRENDS BECOME EVIDENT. MEANWHILE...LOW LEVEL WIND SHEAR
WILL CONTINUE THROUGH THE NIGHT AT BOTH SITES.

EXTENDED AVIATION OUTLOOK...VFR CONDITIONS RETURN LATE MON THROUGH
THU. MAY ALSO SEE LOW LEVEL WIND SHEAR MON NIGHT/EARLY TUE AS
STRONG WINDS CONTINUE OFF THE SURFACE.

&&

.MARINE...
NO CHANGES TO ONGOING HAZARDS...GALE WARNING FOR AMZ374 AND SMALL
CRAFT ADVISORIES FOR ALL OTHER COASTAL WATERS. WILL CONTINUE TO
ASSESS POTENTIAL FOR GALE FORCE GUSTS ACROSS NEARSHORE WATERS
OVERNIGHT INTO MONDAY MORNING. ALSO...WITH DEWPOINTS IN THE 60S
CROSSING THE COOLER COASTAL WATERS...ADDED PATCHY FOG OVERNIGHT.
STRONG WINDS SHOULD LIMIT POTENTIAL FOR PERSISTENT DENSE MARINE
FOG.

MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY...HIGH PRESSURE WILL REMAIN THE DOMINANT
WEATHER FEATURE OVER THE WATERS MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY
NIGHT. A WEAK FRONTAL BOUNDARY WILL SLIP SOUTHWARD THROUGH THE
WATERS THURSDAY...THEN STALL JUST SOUTH OF THE REGION THROUGH
FRIDAY. WINDS AND SEAS ARE EXPECTED TO DROP BELOW SMALL CRAFT
THRESHOLDS ACROSS ALL WATERS MONDAY NIGHT...WITH THE EXCEPTION OF
THE OUTER GEORGIA WATERS. SMALL CRAFT CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED TO
RAMP BACK UP OVER PORTIONS OF THE WATERS TUESDAY AFTERNOON AND
CONTINUE INTO TUESDAY EVENING AS A SECONDARY SHOT OF COLD AIR
ADVECTION KICKS IN. CONDITIONS WILL THEN IMPROVE QUICKLY OVER THE
WATERS LATE TUESDAY NIGHT AS HIGH PRESSURE BECOMES MORE DOMINANT.
WINDS AND SEAS ARE EXPECTED TO REMAIN BELOW SMALL CRAFT CRITERIA
WEDNESDAY THROUGH FRIDAY.

&&

.FIRE WEATHER...
A STRONG COLD FRONT WILL MOVE THROUGH THE REGION MONDAY BRINGING
MUCH DRIER AIR INTO THE REGION FOR TUESDAY. WILDFIRE DANGER WILL
INCREASE SIGNIFICANTLY TUESDAY AFTERNOON...WITH MINIMUM RH/S
EXPECTED TO DROP TO AROUND 20 PERCENT AWAY FROM THE COAST...ALONG
WITH SUSTAINED WINDS NEAR 20 MPH AND GUSTS OF 25 TO 30 MPH. THE
STRONGEST WINDS AND HIGHER CHANCES FOR CRITICAL FIRE WEATHER
CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED OVER SOUTHERN SOUTH CAROLINA...AND RED FLAG
