AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE CHARLESTON SC
501 AM EDT SUN MAY 11 2008

.SYNOPSIS...
A WARM FRONT WILL LIFT NORTHWARD THROUGH THE AREA THIS
MORNING...WITH A STRONG COLD FRONT SWEEPING THROUGH THE REGION THIS
EVENING. HIGH PRESSURE WILL THEN BUILD BACK INTO THE AREA THROUGH
THE MIDDLE OF THE WEEK. ANOTHER FRONT MAY AFFECT THE REGION LATE IN
THE WEEK OR OVER THE UPCOMING WEEKEND.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 PM THIS EVENING/...
CURRENTLY AT THE SURFACE...A WARM FRONT EXTENDS FROM AN AREA OF LOW
PRESSURE OVER WEST-CENTRAL GEORGIA...EASTWARD TO JUST NORTH OF KNBC.
FURTHER UPSTREAM...A STRONG COLD FRONT EXTENDS FROM AN AREA OF LOW
PRESSURE OVER CENTRAL ILLINOIS...SOUTHWARD INTO EASTERN
MISSISSIPPI. MAIN NEAR TERM CONCERN CONTINUES TO REVOLVE AROUND THE
THREAT FOR SEVERE WEATHER.

TODAY...THE WARM FRONT CURRENTLY DRAPED THROUGH CENTRAL PORTIONS OF
THE FORECAST AREA WILL LIFT QUICKLY NORTH OF THE CWA THIS
MORNING...AS THE STRONGLY DYNAMIC STORM SYSTEM TO THE WEST OF THE
AREA CONTINUES TO MAKE ITS APPROACH. EXPECT THE POTENTIAL FOR A
COUPLE WAVES OF SEVERE WEATHER...THE FIRST WITH THE WARM FRONT AND
APPROACHING MCS THIS MORNING. EXPECT THE MCS TO PUSH OFFSHORE BY
LATE THIS MORNING...WITH THE MAIN COLD FRONT STILL LINGERING BACK TO
THE WEST OF THE REGION. THIS SHOULD ALLOW SOME SUNSHINE TO BE SEEN
ACROSS THE AREA...AND THIS WILL MOST LIKELY LEAD TO ADDITIONAL
SHOWER AND THUNDERSTORM DEVELOPMENT THIS AFTERNOON. BEST COVERAGE OF
SHOWER AND THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY IS EXPECTED THIS MORNING...WITH
COVERAGE MUCH MORE SCATTERED THIS AFTERNOON. GIVEN THE STRONG
FORCING...IMPRESSIVE MID-LEVEL INSTABILITY...AND LOW LEVEL SHEAR IN
PLACE DAMAGING WINDS...LARGE HAIL...AND TORNADOES WILL REMAIN
POSSIBLE THROUGH THE REMAINDER OF THE DAY.

IN ADDITION TO THE SEVERE WEATHER POTENTIAL...STRENGTHENING WINDS
ALOFT ARE EXPECTED TO GET MIXED DOWN TO THE SURFACE THIS AFTERNOON
RESULTING IN BREEZY CONDITIONS ACROSS THE AREA. WILL CONTINUE THE
WIND ADVISORY CURRENTLY IN PLACE THROUGH THIS EVENING...WITH WIND
GUSTS AS HIGH AS 40 MPH POSSIBLE THIS AFTERNOON AND THIS EVENING.
HIGH TEMPERATURES SHOULD TOP OUT GENERALLY IN THE MIDDLE 80S ACROSS
THE AREA.

LAKE WINDS...STRONG WINDS OF 20 TO 25 KNOTS WILL DEVELOP IN ADVANCE
OF THE APPROACHING STORM SYSTEM TODAY...SO WILL KEEP THE LAKE WIND
ADVISORY GOING FOR LAKE MOULTRIE.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 PM THIS EVENING THROUGH 6 AM MONDAY/...
THE STRONG COLD FRONT WILL PUSH THROUGH THE REGION EARLY THIS
EVENING...WITH HIGH PRESSURE THEN BEGINNING TO BUILD BACK INTO THE
REGION AFTER MIDNIGHT. WILL CARRY SOME SLIGHT CHANCE OR LOW CHANCE
POPS IN THE EVENING...WITH RAIN FREE CONDITIONS EXPECTED AFTER
MIDNIGHT. LOW TEMPERATURES ARE EXPECTED TO BOTTOM OUT IN THE MID TO
UPPER 50S.

LAKE WINDS...
STRONG COLD AIR ADVECTION WILL COMMENCE AFTER MIDNIGHT FOLLOWING THE
COLD FRONTAL PASSAGE...AND GIVEN H95 WINDS OF 45 KNOTS AND A DEEP
MIXING PROFILE...HAVE ISSUED A HIGH WIND WATCH FOR LAKE MOULTRIE.
WINDS ARE EXPECTED TO INCREASE TO 30 TO 35 KNOTS...WITH WIND GUSTS
AS HIGH AS 45 KNOTS POSSIBLE AFTER MIDNIGHT THROUGH EARLY MONDAY
MORNING.

&&

.LONG TERM /MONDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/...
WE HAVE NOT DEVIATED FROM A MAINLY CLEAR DAY ON MON IN THE
WAKE OF THE FRONT. EARLIER THINKING WAS THAT IT IS GOING TO
BE A WINDY DAY FOR MOST AREAS AND WE LIKE THE NAM THINKING
THAT IT MAY BORDER ON WIND ADVISORY FOR SOME COASTAL AREAS
DURING THE DAY. WE DID LITTLE TO CHANGE FORECAST PHILOSOPHY
GIVEN THE SEVERITY OF THE ONGOING WEATHER.

&&

.AVIATION /09Z SUNDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/...
SEVERAL THUNDERSTORMS WILL CONTINUE TO DEVELOP ALONG A STALLED
BOUNDARY THIS MORNING OVER THE CHS TERMINAL...WHICH WILL RESULT IN
TEMPO MVFR VSBYS AND IFR CIGS FOR THE NEXT COUPLE HOURS.
THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY IS EXPECTED TO DECREASE THEREAFTER UNTIL
ANOTHER ROUND OF THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY OCCURS SUNDAY AFTERNOON. HAVE
IMPROVING CIGS TEMPORARILY BETWEEN 10 TO 13Z AS THUNDERSTORM
ACTIVITY TEMPORARILY DECREASES UNTIL NOON TODAY.

GUSTY WINDS WILL OCCUR SHORTLY AFTER SUNRISE AT BOTH TERMINALS.
WEST WINDS OF 15 KNOTS GUSTING TO AROUND 30 KNOTS WILL OCCUR
DURING THE DAY AS A STRONG PRESSURE GRADIENT OCCURS OVER THE AREA.
A SERIES OF THUNDERSTORMS ARE ANTICIPATED TO ENTER THE REGION AS A
LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM SHIFTS OVER THE CAROLINAS. TIMING OF
THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY IS DIFFICULT TO PIN DOWN AT THIS TIME...BUT
IS EXPECTED TO BE IN THE VICINITY OF BOTH TERMINALS BY 15Z THROUGH
01Z MONDAY. LATER TAFS WILL ADJUST EXACT ARRIVAL OF THUNDERSTORMS.
GUSTY WINDS ARE ANTICIPATED TO CONTINUE THROUGH THE NIGHT AS THE
PRESSURE GRADIENT REMAINS PINCHED.

EXTENDED AVIATION OUTLOOK...GENERALLY VFR CONDITIONS TO PREVAIL IN
WAKE OF THE COLD FRONT STARTING SUNDAY EVENING. GUSTY WINDS AT
TIMES SUNDAY NIGHT AND MONDAY.

&&

.MARINE...
A WARM FRONT IS CURRENTLY SITUATED THROUGH THE SOUTHERN SOUTH
CAROLINA NEARSHORE WATERS THIS MORNING...AND EXTENDS WESTWARD TO AN
AREA OF LOW PRESSURE OVER WEST-CENTRAL GEORGIA. AS THIS AREA OF LOW
PRESSURE CONTINUES TO TRACK TO THE NORTHEAST THIS MORNING...THE WARM
FRONT WILL QUICKLY LIFT NORTH OF THE COASTAL WATERS WITH
SOUTHWESTERLY WINDS INCREASING ACROSS ALL MARINE ZONES. WILL
CONTINUE SMALL CRAFT ADVISORIES FOR ALL WATERS THROUGH THE DAY.

A STRONG COLD FRONT WILL PUSH THROUGH THE WATERS TONIGHT...WITH
WINDS BECOMING WESTERLY IN STRONG COLD AIR ADVECTION AFTER MIDNIGHT.
GIVEN SEA SURFACE TEMPERATURES GENERALLY IN THE LOW TO MID 70S OVER
THE WATERS AND A DEEP MIXING PROFILE EXPECTED TO DEVELOP...THE H95
WINDS OF 45 KNOTS SHOULD BE ABLE TO OCCASIONALLY MIX DOWN TO THE
OCEAN SURFACE. THEREFORE...HAVE RAISED GALE WARNINGS FOR ALL WATERS
WITH WINDS OF 25 TO 35 KNOTS AND GUSTS OF UP TO 45 KNOTS ANTICIPATED.

GALES WILL TREND TO SCA CRITERIA ON MON. SCA CONDITIONS MAY
CONTINUE FOR OUR 20-60 NM GEORGIA WATERS IN MON NIGHT. OTHER
THAN INCREASING WINDS ON MON...NOT MANY CHANGES IN THE LATTER
PERIODS OF THE MARINE FORECAST THIS MORNING.

RIP CURRENTS...ALTHOUGH THE FLOW WILL BE MAINLY OFFSHORE
TODAY...THERE MAY BE ENOUGH BACKING TO RESULT IN OCNL SLIGHT
ONSHORE COMPONENT ALONG THE SC BEACHES. THAT ALONG WITH INCREASING
WINDS TO BETWEEN 20 AND 30 MPH WILL RESULT IN A MODERATE RISK OF
RIP CURRENTS...ESPECIALLY IF THERE IS ANY SMALL SWELL ACTIVITY.
ALTHOUGH OUR LOCAL RIP CURRENT WORKSHEET RESULTS IN A LOW RISK FOR
THE GA BEACHES TODAY...PREFER TO GO WITH A MODERATE RISK GIVEN
THE STRONG WIND FIELDS.
