AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE CHARLESTON SC
408 PM EDT SUN MAY 11 2008

.SYNOPSIS...
A WARM FRONT WILL LIFT NORTH OF THE AREA THIS AFTERNOON THEN A
STRONG COLD FRONT WILL SWEEP THROUGH THIS EVENING. STRONG HIGH
PRESSURE WILL BUILD INTO THE AREA ON MONDAY...PERSISTING THROUGH
WEDNESDAY. ANOTHER FRONT MAY AFFECT THE REGION LATE IN THE WEEK
OR OVER THE UPCOMING WEEKEND.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM MONDAY MORNING/...
A FEW STRONG TO SEVERE STORMS CONTINUE AHEAD OF A STRONG COLD
FRONT IN A MODERATELY UNSTABLE...HIGHLY SHEARED ENVIRONMENT. THIS
ACTIVITY WILL CONTINUE TO TREK QUICKLY THROUGH THE AREA LATE THIS
AFTERNOON. COLD FROPA EXPECTED BY 00Z WITH RAPIDLY CLEARING SKIES.
TEMPS WILL DROP INTO THE 50S MOST AREAS WITH STRONG COLD
ADVECTION.

WINDS WILL BE QUITE GUSTY OVERNIGHT WITH STRONGEST WINDS RIGHT
ALONG THE COAST WITH THE LAND/SEA INTERFACE. HAVE EXTENDED WIND
ADVISORY FOR COASTAL SC THROUGH TONIGHT. LAKE WIND RUNS THROUGH
MONDAY FOR LAKE MOULTRIE. DEEP MIXING OVER THE WARM LAKE WATERS
WILL ALLOW MUCH OF THE 40-45 KT 925 MB WIND ENERGY TO COME DOWN TO
THE SURFACE.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 AM MONDAY MORNING THROUGH 6 PM MONDAY/...
DESPITE CONSIDERABLE COLD ADVECTION MONDAY...STRONG DOWNSLOPE FLOW
WILL SOMEWHAT COUNTERACT THE COLD AIR WITH SOME POTENTIAL TO MAKE
IT INTO THE 80S IN SOME AREAS. WINDY CONDITIONS WILL CONTINUE
THROUGH THE DAY. LAKE WIND ADVISORY WILL CONTINUE THROUGH MON
AFTERNOON.

&&

.LONG TERM /MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY/...
UNSEASONABLY COOL WEATHER ON TAP MON NIGHT WITH LOWS REACHING
INTO THE UPPER 40S INLAND AS HIGH PRES MOVES IN FROM THE N AND W.
FAIR WEATHER WILL THEN CONTINUE TUE INTO WED WITH A SLOW WARM-UP
ANTICIPATED AS THE HIGH PRES SLIDES OFFSHORE ALLOWING A WARMER SLY
FLOW TO SET UP...ALTHOUGH TEMPS LOOK TO REMAIN BELOW NORMAL
THROUGH WED. OUR NEXT RAIN CHANCES LOOK TO COME AS EARLY AS WED
NIGHT AS ANOTHER FRONT APPROACHES FROM THE W. UNSETTLED WEATHER
LOOKS TO PERSIST THROUGH SAT AS THE FRONT MOVES INTO THE AREA AND
STALLS ALLOWING A FEW WAVES OF LOW PRESSURE TO RIDE ALONG IT.
IMPROVING CONDITIONS SHOULD RETURN SUN AS THE UPPER TROUGH SHIFTS
OFFSHORE.

&&

.AVIATION /20Z SUNDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/...
CONVECTION SHOULD MISS BOTH TERMS THIS AFTERNOON. GUSTY WINDS THE
MAIN CONCERN OVERNIGHT INTO MONDAY WITH STRONG COLD AIR ADVECTION
BEHIND A COLD FRONT. CLEARING EXPECTED OVERNIGHT WITH STRONG
SUBSIDENCE.

EXTENDED AVIATION OUTLOOK...VFR CONDS EXCEPT POSSIBLE MVFR CONDS IN
SH/TSTMS THU/FRI.

&&

.MARINE...
STRONG COLD FRONT ADVANCING INTO EASTERN GA AND SHOULD BE PUSHING
OFF THE COAST DURING THE EVENING. THE STRONG GUSTY WINDS OVER THE
WATERS FROM EARLIER WERE DUE TO A RAPIDLY DEEPENING MESOSCALE LOW
ALONG THE WARM FRONT. THIS IS NOW PUSHING OFF TO THE NORTH AND
WINDS HAVE SUBSTANTIALLY DECREASED OVER THE WATERS. ANOTHER RAPID
RAMP-UP IS EXPECTED LATE THIS EVENING WHEN STRONG COLD ADVECTION
MOVES OVER THE WATERS. 925 MB WINDS PROGGED AT 40-50 KT. DUE TO
THE WATERS NOW BEING QUITE WARM...FAVORABLE MIXING PROFILES
EXPECTED TO BRING MUCH OF THE MOMENTUM TO THE SURFACE OVERNIGHT.
SOLID GALE CONDITIONS APPEAR LIKELY ALL WATERS. THE BIGGEST IF IS
IN THE HARBOR DUE TO THE FLOW ORIGINATING FROM LAND. BEST CHANCE
FOR GALES WILL BE IN GUSTS. HAVE HOISTED GALE WARNINGS ALL WATERS.
CONDITIONS BEGIN TO IMPROVE MON MORNING WITH THE OFFSHORE GA
WATERS IMPROVING DURING THE AFTERNOON.

SCA CONDS WIND DOWN MON NIGHT WITH CONDS REMAINING BELOW SCA
LEVELS THROUGH WED NIGHT AS HIGH PRES SLIDES OVER THE WATERS.
WINDS WILL LIKELY RAMP UP AGAIN THU/FRI AS THE HIGH SLIPS OFFSHORE
BUT MUCH DEPENDS ON THE EXACT EVOLUTION OF AT LEAST ONE SURFACE
LOW MOVING THROUGH THE CAROLINAS. MAY SEE SCA CONDS RETURN FOR AT
LEAST THE OUTER GA WATERS DURING THIS TIME.

&&

FIRE WEATHER...CRITICAL WINDS ARE EXPECTED ACROSS ALL AREAS MON WITH
CRITICAL HUMIDITIES MAINLY W OF INTERSTATE 95. HOWEVER...BASED ON
RECENT RAINFALL AND DISCUSSION WITH LOCAL FIRE OFFICIALS...THERE IS
NO NEED FOR ANY RED FLAG WARNINGS OR FIRE DANGER STATEMENTS AT THIS
TIME.
