AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE CHARLESTON SC
425 AM EST TUE MAR 4 2008

.SYNOPSIS...
A STRONG COLD FRONT WILL SWEEP THROUGH THE AREA TODAY AND TONIGHT.
HIGH PRESSURE WILL RETURN FOR WEDNESDAY AND THURSDAY. ANOTHER STORM
SYSTEM MAY AFFECT THE AREA ON FRIDAY AND FRIDAY NIGHT...WITH HIGH
PRESSURE THEN BUILDING BACK INTO THE AREA OVER THE WEEKEND.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 PM THIS EVENING/...
CURRENTLY AT THE SURFACE...AN AREA OF LOW PRESSURE IS LOCATED OVER
THE TRI-STATE BORDER OF TN/MS/AL...WITH A COLD FRONT EXTENDING
SOUTHWARD INTO THE GULF OF MEXICO. IR SAT IMAGERY INDICATES
GENERALLY PARTLY CLOUDY SKIES IN PLACE ACROSS THE FORECAST
AREA...WITH SOME LOW STRATUS BEGINNING TO DEVELOP OVER NORTHERN
FL/SOUTHERN GA. MAIN NEAR TERM CONCERN FOR TODAY REVOLVES AROUND THE
POTENTIAL FOR SEVERE WEATHER.

TODAY...
THE AREA OF LOW PRESSURE WILL DEEPEN AS IT TRACKS NORTHEASTWARD INTO
WEST VIRGINIA BY 00Z WED. THIS WILL ALLOW A STRONG COLD FRONT TO
PUSH INTO WESTERN ZONES DURING THE AFTERNOON. HIGH CLOUD WILL
CONTINUE TO INCREASE OVER THE AREA THROUGH THE DAY...BUT MUCH OF THE
REGION ESPECIALLY CLOSER TO THE SC/GA COAST WILL SEE A FAIR AMOUNT
OF FILTERED SUNSHINE THIS MORNING. 1000-850 MB THICKNESS VALUES
SUGGEST HIGHS WILL TOP OUT IN THE LOWER 80S ACROSS THE AREA...BUT
WITH INCREASING CLOUD COVER WILL HOLD TEMPS BACK IN THE MID TO UPPER
70S. AS FOR WEATHER DETAILS...WILL MENTION SLIGHT CHANCE POPS ACROSS
FAR WESTERN ZONES PRIOR TO NOON...BUT EXPECT MOST AREAS WILL REMAIN
RAIN FREE. THEN CATEGORICAL AND LIKELY POPS ARE IN ORDER FOR THE
FORECAST AREA THIS AFTERNOON AS COLD FRONT PUSHES INTO THE CWA.
EXPECT A RATHER BREEZY DAY ACROSS THE FORECAST AREA...AND GIVEN H95
WINDS OF 35 TO 40 KT...EXPECT SUSTAINED WINDS OF 25 TO 35 MPH ACROSS
PORTIONS OF SOUTH CAROLINA...WHERE THE MAJORITY OF SUNSHINE WILL BE
SEEN. THEREFORE WILL ISSUE A WIND ADVISORY FOR PORTIONS OF THE SOUTH
CAROLINA FROM LATE MORNING THROUGH THE AFTERNOON.

NOW FOR SEVERE WEATHER POTENTIAL. IT APPEARS THAT THIS SYSTEM WILL
BE TRACKING THROUGH THE REGION AT THE TIME OF PEAK
HEATING...INCREASING THE POSSIBILITY FOR A SIGNIFICANT SEVERE
WEATHER OUTBREAK ACROSS SOUTHERN SOUTH CAROLINA AND SOUTHEAST
GEORGIA. DYNAMICS ARE IMPRESSIVE WITH A COUPLING OF TWO 100+ KT H25
JETS OVER THE FORECAST AREA BY LATE IN THE AFTERNOON.
ADDITIONALLY...UPPER TROUGH IS FORECAST TO TAKE ON A NEGATIVE TILT
THIS AFTERNOON AS IT PUSHES TOWARD THE CWA...AND THIS WILL INDUCE
VERY IMPRESSIVE MID-LEVEL QG FORCING OVER THE REGION. ADDITIONALLY
MID-LEVEL LAPSE RATES WILL BE ON THE ORDER OF 6.5 TO 7.5 C/KM THIS
AFTERNOON. MEANWHILE...0-6 KM BULK SHEAR MAGNITUDE WILL BE ON THE
ORDER OF 50 TO 60 KT...STRONGLY SUGGESTING ORGANIZED CONVECTION WILL
DEVELOP OVER THE FORECAST AREA. ADJUSTING MODEL SOUNDINGS FOR HIGHS
IN THE UPPER 70S AND DEWPOINTS IN THE MID 60S...YIELDS SURFACE BASED
CAPE VALUES OF 1000-1500 J/KG AND LI/S OF -3 TO -5. WITH WIND FIELDS
OF 50 TO 55 KT AT H85...WBZ HEIGHTS OF 10.5 TO 11.5 KFT...AND 0-3 KM
HELICITY VALUES ON THE ORDER OF 300 TO 500 M2/S2...SEVERE WEATHER
APPEARS TO BE LIKELY ACROSS THE ENTIRE CWA. THE MAIN HAZARDS APPEAR
TO BE DAMAGING WINDS AND LARGE HAIL...BUT TORNADOES CAN CERTAINLY
NOT BE RULED OUT.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 PM THIS EVENING THROUGH 6 AM WEDNESDAY/...
COLD FRONT WILL PUSH THROUGH THE REMAINDER OF THE FORECAST AREA
DURING THE EVENING HOURS...WITH HIGH PRESSURE THEN BEGINNING TO
BUILD INTO THE REGION IN ITS WAKE. SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL
CONTINUE TO TRANSITION OFFSHORE IN THE EVENING...WITH RAIN FREE
CONDITIONS THEN EXPECTED AFTER MIDNIGHT. OVERNIGHT LOWS ARE EXPECTED
TO BOTTOM OUT IN THE LOW 40S WELL INLAND...AND IN THE UPPER 40S
CLOSER TO THE COAST.

&&

.LONG TERM /WEDNESDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...
ON WED...ANY LINGERING LOW CLOUDS TRAPPING BELOW A STRENGTHENING
SUBSIDENCE CAP SHOULD SCOUR OUT QUICKLY IN DEEP DOWNSLOPE FLOW
MAKING FOR A MAINLY SUNNY DAY. TEMPERATURES DURING THE DAY REMAIN
TRICKY AS MOS POPS CONTINUE IN THE 60-65 RANGE BUT THICKNESS AND
DOWNSLOPE REGIME SUGGEST HIGHER. FORECAST SOUNDINGS SHOWING MIXING
LEVELS BELOW 3 KFT HOWEVER SO WILL MAINTAIN OUR MID 60S HIGHS AS A
COMPROMISE.

WED NIGHT AND THU WITH WEAK HIGH PRES OVER THE REGION...MOSTLY CLEAR
WITH MILD LOWER 70S ON THU AFTN AWAY FROM THE COOLER BEACHES.

THE ECMWF HAS MADE A DRASTIC WET SHIFT SINCE YESTERDAY AND HAS COME
MORE IN LINE WITH THE GFS WITH A STRONG BAROCLINIC REGION DEVELOPING
ALONG AND INLAND A STRENGTHENING COASTAL TROUGH ON FRI. BOTH MODELS
ALONG WITH THE 00Z GEM GLOBAL INDICATE PLENTY OF COMPLEX UPPER LEVEL
ENERGY AND SIGNIFICANT RAINS MOVING NE THROUGH N FLORIDA AND FAR SERN
GEORGIA OVER THE GULF STREAM FRI. WE BUMPED OUR POPS UP TO 40-60
OVER THE SRN COASTAL AREAS TO TREND.

SKIES EXPECTED TO CLEAR ON SAT WITH SLIGHTLY BELOW CLIMO TEMPERATURES
THIS WEEKEND WITH QUIET WEATHER LIKELY SAT AFTN INTO MON.

&&

.AVIATION /10Z TUESDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/...
STRONG STORM SYSTEM CURRENTLY OVER EASTERN MISSISSIPPI AND WESTERN
ALABAMA...WILL TRACK EASTWARD AND PUSH THROUGH THE TERMINALS LATER
THIS AFTERNOON AND EARLY THIS EVENING. EXPECT VFR CONDITIONS TO
PREVAIL THROUGH THE MORNING HOURS AND INTO THE EARLY AFTERNOON.
LOW LEVEL WIND FIELDS WILL REMAIN QUITE IMPRESSIVE THROUGH THE
REMAINDER OF THE OVERNIGHT HOURS...SO WILL CONTINUE TO MENTION LOW
LEVEL WIND SHEAR IN TAFS THROUGH 14Z. WITH A FAIR AMOUNT OF
MORNING SUNSHINE EXPECTED...WINDS WILL GET QUITE GUSTY ACROSS THE
TERMINALS ONCE THE LOW LEVEL INVERSION BREAKS...ESPECIALLY AT THE
CHS TERMINAL WHERE SKIES WILL REMAIN SCATTERED LONGER. A STRONG
LINE OF THUNDERSTORMS WILL DEVELOP BY EARLY AFTERNOON WEST OF THE
TERMINALS...AND IS EXPECTED TO PUSH THROUGH CHS AND SAV DURING THE
LATE AFTERNOON AND EARLY EVENING HOURS. WIND FIELDS ARE EXTREMELY
IMPRESSIVE ALOFT...SO INCLUDED SOME STRONG WIND GUST MENTION AT
BOTH TERMINALS ALONG WITH SOME MVFR CIGS WHEN SQUALL LINE IS
EXPECTED TO PUSH THROUGH. ONCE COLD FRONT PUSHES OFFSHORE THIS
EVENING...SKIES WILL QUICKLY CLEAR BUT WINDS WILL LIKELY CONTINUE
TO GUST THROUGH THE REMAINDER OF THE TAF FORECAST PERIOD.

EXTENDED AVIATION OUTLOOK...ALTHOUGH A LOW PRES SYSTEM WILL SKIRT
THE AREA FRI WITH POSSIBLE MVFR WEATHER...GENERALLY VFR CONDITIONS
WILL PREVAIL THROUGH SAT.

&&

.MARINE...
A STRONG STORM SYSTEM WILL TRACK TOWARD THE AREA TODAY...THEN PUSH
EASTWARD AND THROUGH THE WATERS TONIGHT. WIND FIELDS WILL INCREASE
SIGNIFICANTLY ACROSS THE AREA IN ADVANCE OF THE AND BEHIND THE COLD
FRONT...AND WILL NEED TO UPGRADE THE GALE WATCH TO A GALE WARNING
FOR THE OUTER GEORGIA WATERS AND NEARSHORE SOUTH CAROLINA WATERS.
ELSEWHERE...SMALL CRAFT ADVISORIES STILL LOOK ON TRACK THROUGH
TONIGHT.

ON WED...OFFSHORE JETTING AND GOOD MIXING PROFILE SHOULD ENSURE THAT
20-25 WLY WINDS WILL START OFF THE DAY 10-20 NM OFFSHORE...
ESPECIALLY IN SE GEORGIA. LOW LEVEL WINDS SUBSIDE DURING THE DAY AND
WINDS AND SEAS SHOULD FALL BLO SCA LEVELS BY MID/LATE WITHIN 20 NM
AND DURING THE EARLY AFTN 20-60 NM OFF THE GEORGIA COAST.

THE NEXT MARINE EVENT HAS BEEN LOOKING STRONGER FROM RUN TO RUN
AND NOW APPEARS TO HAVE MUCH BETTER MODEL CONSENSUS THAT A SURFACE
WAVE WILL RIDE NE ALONG A COASTAL FRONT FRI AND FRI NIGHT. WHERE THE
FRONT WILL BE IS STILL MUCH IN DOUBT...BUT SUSPECT MOST OF OUR
WATERS WILL BE IN A COOLER NE FLOW WITH THIS LATE WEEK EVENT. WE
RAISED WINDS AND SEAS AT WEEKS END TO TREND HIGHER.
&&

GA...NONE.

     AFTERNOON FOR SCZ042>045-047>051.
