AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE CHARLESTON SC
345 PM EDT TUE MAY 20 2008

.SYNOPSIS...
LOW PRESSURE WILL MOVE OFF THE MID-ATLANTIC COAST THIS EVENING
WHILE A TRAILING COLD FRONT MOVES INTO THE AREA TONIGHT AND THEN
PUSHES THROUGH THE AREA WEDNESDAY. FRONTAL BOUNDARY WILL LINGER
NEAR OR JUST SOUTH OF THE AREA THROUGH EARLY THURSDAY...THEN LIFT
BACK NORTH THROUGH FRIDAY. ANOTHER COLD FRONT WILL MOVE ACROSS
LATE SATURDAY...WITH STRONG HIGH PRESSURE TO BUILD IN EARLY NEXT
WEEK.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM WEDNESDAY MORNING/...
UPDATE...SPC HAS ISSUED TORNADO WATCH 329 FOR ALL OF SC AND
JENKINS AND SCREVEN COUNTIES IN SE GA...INCLUDING THE NEARSHORE
COASTAL WATERS.

LOW PRESSURE OVER VA WILL MOVE STEADILY EAST AND OFFSHORE LATER
TODAY AS ITS SUPPORTING SHORTWAVE PIVOTS ACROSS THE OHIO VALLEY.
THE ASSOCIATED COLD FRONT WILL DROP S THROUGH NC AND BE POSITIONED
ACROSS THE SC MIDLANDS AND CSRA THIS EVENING.

INCREASING INSTABILITY AND SOME CONVERGENCE ACROSS THE FRONT AND A
PRE-FRONTAL TROUGH WILL SUPPORT THE DEVELOPMENT OF SCATTERED
THUNDERSTORMS THIS AFTERNOON ACROSS THE SC MIDLANDS AND UPSTATE
REGION. THIS ACTIVITY WILL TRANSLATE SE TOWARD THE FORECAST AREA
LATER THIS AFTN. THERE WILL LIKELY BE A FAVORABLE
KINEMATIC/THERMODYNAMIC ENVIRONMENT TO SUPPORT STRONG TO POSSIBLY
SOME SEVERE STORMS. LARGE HAIL...DAMAGING WINDS AND TORNADOES ARE
POSSIBLE.

WILL SHOW POPS INCREASING FROM THIS AFTN INTO THIS EVE ACROSS NWRN
AREAS...THEN SPREADING SE TOWARD THE COAST LATER THIS EVE. FAR
EXTREME SE GA AREAS MAY NOT EVEN SEE ANY RAINFALL AS THE ACTIVITY
WILL LIKELY LOSE ITS PUNCH AFTER SUNSET.

TEMPS OVERNIGHT WILL REMAIN MILD DUE TO THE CLOUDS/RAIN...RANGING
FROM THE MID 60S FAR INLAND TO AROUND 70 CLOSER TO THE COAST.

LAKE WINDS...WILL MAINTAIN THE LAKE WIND ADVISORY FOR LAKE
MOULTRIE AS STRONG SW WINDS WILL CONTINUE INTO THIS EVE AHEAD OF
AN APPROACHING COLD FRONT.

THE SPECIAL WEATHER STATEMENT REGARDING STRONG WINDS ON ELEVATED
SURFACES ACROSS SC THIS AFTN/EVE WILL BE MAINTAINED.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 AM WEDNESDAY MORNING THROUGH 6 PM WEDNESDAY/...
WILL MAINTAIN THE DRIER PATTERN FOR WED AS ADVERTISED BY THE
WRF...WITH THE FRONT S AND E OF THE AREA. HOWEVER...THERE MAY BE
ENOUGH LOW-LEVEL MOISTURE LEFT AROUND ACROSS SE GA TO WARRANT 20
POPS.

&&

.LONG TERM /WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY/...
OMEGA BLOCKING PATTERN WILL ESTABLISH ITSELF ACROSS THE COUNTRY LATE
THIS WEEK INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK...WITH THE MEAN RIDGING ALOFT TO OUR
W AND THE MEAN TROUGH OVER THE LOCAL AREA OR JUST TO THE E. A
COMPLICATED FORECAST SCENARIO SHAPING UP DURING THIS TIME...WITH
FIRST FRONTAL BOUNDARY TO PUSH INTO OR JUST S OF THE CWFA WEDNESDAY
NIGHT/EARLY THURSDAY...THEN LIFTING BACK N LATER THURSDAY/FRIDAY.

A DRY WNW FLOW ALOFT WITH PWATS DOWN UNDER AN INCH WEDNESDAY NIGHT
INTO THURSDAY WILL ALLOW FOR LITTLE IF ANY CHANCE OF PRECIP UNTIL
LATE THURSDAY. HOWEVER...WE ARE LOOKING AT POSSIBLE UNSETTLED
WEATHER FRIDAY INTO SATURDAY AS SHORT WAVE ENERGY AFFECTS THE
REGION...FIRST FROM THE NE GULF FRIDAY...THEN FROM THE NW ON
SATURDAY. IN ADDITION...ANOTHER COLD FRONT COMES IN FROM THE N THE
FIRST PART OF THE WEEKEND. AS PWATS CLIMB TO 1.5 TO 2 INCHES FRIDAY
INTO SATURDAY WE LOOK TOWARD A FAIRLY WET END OF THE WEEK...AND
CHANCE OR EVEN LIKELY POPS SEEM NECESSARY. DRIER AND NOTICEABLY
COOLER CONDITIONS WILL THEN BUILD IN WAKE OF THE BACKDOOR COLD FRONT
FOR EARLY NEXT WEEK.

TEMPS OVER THE WEEKEND MAY STAY IN THE 70S MANY AREAS WHILE NIGHT
TIME LOWS COULD FALL INTO THE 50S.

IT IS WORTH NOTING THAT A CUTOFF MAY DEVELOP NEAR OR NE OF THE
BAHAMAS EARLY NEXT WEEK...WITH POSSIBLY EVEN A SURFACE LOW
ATTEMPTING TO FORM IN RESPONSE BETWEEN THE BAHAMAS AND BERMUDA.
HOWEVER...OUR FORECAST AREA DOES STAY ON THE DRIER W SIDE OF ANY
SUCH SYSTEM...EVEN IF IT DOES INDEED FORM.

&&

.AVIATION /20Z TUESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/...
VFR CONDITIONS WILL LIKELY PREVAIL FOR THE NEXT 24 HOURS.
HOWEVER...SMOKE FROM A FIRE BURNING ACROSS LIBERTY COUNTY IS
AFFECTING THE KSAV TERM WITH 5SM OF VSBY. WILL HAVE TO INCLUDE
MENTION OF SUCH TO INITIALIZE THE TAFS. AS WINDS BECOME MORE SSW
LATER THIS AFTN...THE SMOKE SHOULD MOVE AWAY FROM THE KSAV TERM.

OTHERWISE...A COLD FRONT WILL DROP SOUTH INTO THE AREA TONIGHT AS
LOW PRESSURE MOVES ACROSS SOUTHERN VIRGINIA. SCATTERED SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS WILL DEVELOP ACROSS THE SC MIDLANDS AND PEE DEE
REGION THIS AFTERNOON AHEAD OF THE FRONT...THEN SLOWLY SINK SOUTH
TO NEAR THE CHS TERMINAL BY THIS EVENING. THE LATEST MODEL
GUIDANCE SUGGESTS THE ACTIVITY WILL AFFECT THE CHS TERM AROUND
03-06Z. HOWEVER...THERE IS LESS OF A CHANCE OF THE ACTIVITY
REACHING THE SAV TERM AND THUS WILL KEEP MENTION OF ANY SH/TSTMS
OUT OF THE TAFS FOR NOW. THE BEST TIMEFRAME FOR IMPACTS AT KSAV
LOOK TO BE A FEW HOURS EITHER SIDE OF 06Z.

GUSTY WINDS UP TO AROUND 28 KT WILL CONTINUE TO IMPACT BOTH TERMS
INTO EARLY THIS EVE. LLWS IS POSSIBLE AT KSAV OVERNIGHT AS SFC
WINDS DROP TO AROUND 7 KT AND 2K FT WINDS INCREASE TO NEARLY 40
KT...THUS INCLUDED MENTION FROM 03-10Z.

EXTENDED AVIATION OUTLOOK...UNSETTLED CONDITIONS THURSDAY NIGHT
THROUGH SATURDAY...WITH PERIODS OF MVFR WEATHER LIKELY DURING THAT
TIME.

&&

.MARINE...
SCA CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED FOR ALL WATERS EXCEPT FOR THE WATERS
OUT 20 NM S OF EDISTO BEACH AS THE PRESSURE GRADIENT REMAINS
STRONG AHEAD OF AN APPROACHING COLD FRONT. AS THE FRONT MOVES INTO
THE AREA OVERNIGHT INTO WED AND THE PRESSURE GRADIENT
WEAKENS...CONDS SHOULD DROP BELOW SCA CRITERIA ACROSS CHS HARBOR
THIS EVE...THEN LASTLY DROP BELOW SCA CRITERIA ACROSS THE GA
WATERS BEYOND 20 NM LATE WED MORNING.

WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY...THE FRONTAL BOUNDARY ACROSS THE GA
WATERS WEDNESDAY NIGHT WILL DRIFT S THROUGH THE NIGHT...BEFORE
LIFTING BACK N THURSDAY AND FRIDAY. TIMING OF THIS HAPPENING IS
HIGHLY UNCERTAIN AT THIS STAGE...SO WIND SHIFT FROM W-NW BEHIND
THE FRONT THURSDAY NIGHT AROUND TO THE NE AND EVENTUALLY SE AND S
AGAIN AS THE FRONT LIFTS BACK N IS PROBLEMATIC. THANKFULLY...WINDS
WIND GENERALLY BE 15 KT OR LESS DURING THIS TIME...WITH SEAS NO
HIGHER THAN 3-5 FT.

A BACKDOOR COLD FRONT IS THEN FORECAST TO MOVE IN BY LATE
SATURDAY...WITH 1020-1025 MB HIGH TO BUILD IN ITS WAKE FOR SUNDAY
AND MONDAY. IF THIS PATTERN INDEED DOES TAKE SHAPE...THEN WINDS AND
SEAS WILL INCREASE EARLY NEXT WEEK...AS A STRONG PINCHED GRADIENT
WOULD DEVELOP IN SUCH AS SITUATION. THUS...SCA/S SEEM POSSIBLE.

RIP CURRENTS...A MODERATE RISK OF RIP CURRENTS WILL CONTINUE INTO
THIS EVENING ALONG THE LOWER SOUTH CAROLINA COAST DUE TO STRONG
SW WINDS AND THE LUNAR INFLUENCES FROM THE CURRENT FULL MOON.
