SOUTHERN SOUTH CAROLINA THROUGH EARLY THIS EVENING. GUSTS MAY
REACH AS HIGH AS 45 MPH AT TIMES...MAINLY ON ELEVATED SURFACES.
WINDS OF THIS MAGNITUDE CAN EASILY BREAK LARGE TREE LIMBS AND MAKE
SMALL UNTIED OBJECTS AIRBORNE. WET SOILS AFTER HEAVY RAIN
YESTERDAY MAY MAKE SOME WEAKER TREES VULNERABLE TO SNAPPING OR
BLOWING OVER. ISOLATED POWER OUTAGES ARE ALSO POSSIBLE. HIGH
PROFILE VEHICLES WILL BE SUSCEPTIBLE TO CROSS WINDS IN MANY
PLACES. CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED TO QUICKLY IMPROVE THIS EVENING AS
HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS INTO THE REGION.

STAY TUNED TO NOAA WEATHER RADIO ALL HAZARDS...TV OR YOUR LOCAL
NEWS SOURCE FOR THE LATEST STATEMENTS FROM THE NATIONAL WEATHER
SERVICE.

A WIND ADVISORY MEANS THAT WINDS OF 35 MPH ARE EXPECTED. WINDS
THIS STRONG CAN MAKE DRIVING DIFFICULT...ESPECIALLY FOR HIGH
PROFILE VEHICLES. USE EXTRA CAUTION ESPECIALLY ON BRIDGES AND
OVERPASSES.

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE CHARLESTON SC
1257 PM EST FRI MAR 7 2008

.SYNOPSIS...
DUAL LOW PRESSURE AREAS WILL PASS TO THE WEST TODAY AND TONIGHT. A
STRONG COLD FRONT WILL PUSH OFF THE COAST SATURDAY. HIGH PRESSURE
WILL THEN BUILD BACK INTO THE AREA FOR THE REMAINDER OF THE
WEEKEND INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...
EXTREMELY COMPLEX SCENARIO AND FORECAST FOR TODAY...WITH POTENTIAL
FOR ISOLATED SEVERE WEATHER AND KEEPING A CLOSE WATCH FOR ANY
SHORT TERM FLOODING CONCERNS.

SURFACE ANALYSIS DEPICTS SEVERAL AREAS OF LOW PRES OVER W GA/E AL
AND THE FL PANHANDLE THIS MORNING...WITH AT LEAST THREE SEPARATE
WARM FRONTS OVER OR NEAR THE CWFA. LOW OVER THE PANHANDLE LOOKS
TO LIFT NE ACROSS THE FORECAST AREA LATE THIS MORNING AND THIS
AFTN WITH ASSOCIATED WARM FRONT TO LIFT N AS WELL. THIS WILL ALLOW
FOR E AND SE WINDS TO VEER TO MORE S OR SW IN ITS WAKE. INITIALLY
WITH THIS LOW AND ASSOCIATED SHORT WAVE ALOFT THE MAIN WEATHER FOR
SRN SC AND SE GA WILL BE STEADY RAINS. STRONG LOW LEVEL
CONVERGENCE...50-60 KT LOW LEVEL JET WHICH MOVES N OF THE AREA BY
LATE TODAY...UPPER LEVEL DIVERGENCE AND PERIODS OF LOW LEVEL
VECTOR CONVERGENCE SUGGEST THAT HEAVY RAINS WILL PERSIST WITH AT A
MINIMUM SOME LOCALIZED FLOODING.

HOWEVER...WITH STRONG 0-1 AND 0-3 KM SRH OF 300-500 M2/S2 AND 0-6
KM SHEAR VECTOR OF 45-55 KT THERE DOES REMAIN AN ELEVATED RISK OF
ISOLATED TORNADOES. THE HIGHER PROBABILITIES LOOK TO BE OVER SRN
AREAS WHERE BETTER SURFACE BASED INSTABILITY EXISTS AND SPIN UPS
ARE POSSIBLE CLOSE TO THE WARM FRONTAL BOUNDARY WHICH IS BEGINNING
TO MOVE INTO NRN FL. FURTHER N THE WEDGE FRONT IS FOUND AND
CONVECTION LOOKS TO BE MORE ELEVATED AND THUS A LOWER RISK OF
SEVERE WEATHER. WE WILL HOWEVER NEED TO KEEP WATCH OVER THE
COASTAL WATERS WHERE WATERSPOUTS ARE CERTAINLY POSSIBLE.

SHORT WAVE AND ASSOCIATED SURFACE LOW WILL MOVE INTO NC BY
EVENING...AND DRIER AIR IS ATTEMPTING TO WORK ITS WAY INTO SRN GA.
THE BEST UPPER DYNAMICS...LOW LEVEL CONVERGENCE AND UPWARD OMEGA
FIELDS LOOKS TO SHIFT E OF THE AREA BY LATE TODAY...AS NVA
DEVELOPS IN WAKE OF THE SHORT WAVE. THIS WILL LIKELY RESULT IN A
DECREASE IN BOTH COVERAGE AND INTENSITY OF THE RAINS...ESPECIALLY
OVER CENTRAL AND SRN AREAS THE SECOND HALF OF THE AFTN INTO THIS
EVENING. HOWEVER...TROPICAL MOISTURE FEED FROM OUT THE GULF LOOKS
TO REMAIN ACROSS THE AREA AND AS FLOW ALOFT BACKS AHEAD OF THE
UPPER LOW THE PERSISTENT RAINFALL COULD EASILY CONTINUE...ALTHOUGH
THE INTENSITY WOULD CERTAINLY BE LESS. WILL MAINTAIN CATEGORICAL
POPS ALL AREAS THIS AFTN...BUT TREND TOWARD SLIGHTLY LOWER POPS
LATE IN THE DAY AND THIS EVENING.

OVERALL OUR MAX TEMP FORECAST LOOKS GOOD FOR TODAY.

AS SECONDARY LOW PRESSURE DEVELOPS IN NW GA THIS AFTN MOVES INTO
NC/VA BY MORNING. EXPECT THE AXIS OF HEAVIEST RAIN WILL BEGIN TO
SHIFT OFFSHORE BY MIDNIGHT...EXCEPT FOR PERHAPS COASTAL SC WHERE
BEST FEED OF MOISTURE PERSISTS. WILL MAINTAIN HIGH POPS FOR ALL
AREAS DURING THE EVENING THEN TAPER POPS OFF FROM W-E THROUGH
SUNRISE SUNDAY.

SEVERAL RIVERS ACROSS SOUTHEAST GA REMAIN ELEVATED WITH THE
OHOOPEE RIVER NEAR REIDSVILLE JUST BELOW FLOOD STAGE AND THE
OGEECHEE RIVER AT EDEN ABOVE ACTION STAGE. WITH HEAVY RAIN
EXPECTED TO FALL IN THESE BASINS...ADDITIONAL RISES WILL OCCUR
WITH EDEN LIKELY SURGING BACK ABOVE FLOOD STAGE THIS WEEKEND. WILL
HAVE TO MONITOR THE OGEECHEE RIVER AT MIDVILLE...THE CANOOCHEE
RIVER AT CLAXTON AND THE SAVANNAH RIVER AT BURTONS FERRY SINCE
THESE RIVERS ARE ALSO LIKELY TO SEE SIGNIFICANT RISES. MOST OF OUR
SOUTH CAROLINA RIVER FORECAST POINTS ARE RUNNING WELL BELOW FLOOD
STAGE SO SHORT TERM RIVER FLOODING APPEARS UNLIKELY ATTM ALTHOUGH
SOME SHARP RISES ARE LIKELY.

&&

.SHORT TERM /SATURDAY/...
DEEPENING LOW PRESSURE WILL QUICKLY SHIFT INTO THE MID ATLANTIC ON
SATURDAY. LINGERING SHOWER ACTIVITY WILL EXIT OFF THE NE THROUGH
LATE MORNING AS HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS INTO THE REGION BEHIND THE
DEPARTING STORM SYSTEM. THE COMBINATION OF A VERY TIGHT PRESSURE
GRADIENT AND DEEP MIXING PROFILES TAPPING INTO A BELT OF HIGHER
WINDS JUST OFF THE SURFACE INDICATE WINDS HAVE A VERY GOOD SHOT OF
REACHING WIND ADVISORY CRITERIA ACROSS SOUTHERN SC AND SOUTHEAST
GA. SUSTAINED WINDS OF 25 TO 35 MPH ARE LIKELY WITH GUSTS POSSIBLY
REACHING AS HIGH AS 50 MPH. MOSTLY CLOUDY SKIES IN THE MORNING
WILL GIVE WAY TO MOSTLY SUNNY TO PARTLY CLOUDY CONDITIONS BY
AFTERNOON. HIGHS WILL RANGE FROM THE MID 50S ACROSS THE FAR
INTERIOR ZONES TO THE LOWER 60S ALONG THE COAST.

LAKE WINDS...WINDS ARE EXPECTED TO REACH LAKE WIND ADVISORY LEVELS
THIS EVENING AND MAY APPROACH WARNING CRITERIA ON SATURDAY. FCST
SOUNDINGS NEAR LAKE MOULTRIE INDICATE WINDS COULD REACH 35 KNOTS
FOR SEVERAL HOURS FROM LATE MORNING THROUGH LATE SATURDAY
AFTERNOON. HIGH WIND WARNINGS ARE ISSUED FOR LAKE MOULTRIE WHEN
WIND SPEEDS ARE EXPECTED TO REACH 35 KNOTS OR HIGHER FOR 1-HOUR OR
MORE. SINCE THIS EVENT IS IN THE THIRD PERIOD...A HIGH WIND WATCH
WILL BE ISSUED. WAVES ON THE OPEN LAKE WATERS COULD REACH 3-4
FEET.

&&

.LONG TERM /SATURDAY NIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY/...
WITH THE COLD FRONT WELL OFFSHORE BY SAT EVE...W-NW FLOW AT THE SFC
AND ALOFT WILL TAKE HOLD AND ALLOW THE AREA TO DRY OUT. SFC HIGH
PRES WILL THEN SLIDE ACRS THE AREA SUN-MON. WITH THE ORIGIN OF THE
SFC RIDGE OF A MODIFIED CANADIAN NATURE...TEMPS FOR THE START OF
NEXT WEEK WILL BE BELOW NORMAL.

A CLIPPER-TYPE SYSTEM WILL SWING THROUGH THE GREAT LAKE SUN-MON AND
THE UPR LVL IMPULSE OF THIS COMPLEX WILL SHIFT SE THROUGH THE OH VLY
MON...POSSIBLY PUSHING AN UPR LVL SHTWV THROUGH THE AREA MON NIGHT
INTO TUE. MOISTURE WILL BE LACKING FROM THIS DISTURBANCE SO WILL
KEEP THE FCST DRY AND PTLY CLDY. ALTHOUGH WEAK SFC HIGH PRES WILL
REMAIN OVR THE AREA MON NIGHT INTO WED...ANOTHER WEAK DISTURBANCE
MAY ALSO MOVE THROUGH THE AREA TUE NIGHT INTO WED...THIS ONE COMING
FROM THE SRN PLAINS. IT ALSO LOOKS TO BE TOO DRY TO CAUSE ANY PRECIP
SO WILL MAINTAIN A DRY FCST.

SFC HIGH PRES WITH RIDGING ALOFT WILL THEN SLIDE ACRS THE AREA
WED-THU...BUT ANOTHER STORM SYSTEM WILL BE BREWING OVER THE
CENTRAL-SOUTHERN PLAINS AS ANOTHER SIGNIFICANT UPR LVL TROF
DEVELOPS. TIMING/LOCATION OF FRONTAL BOUNDARIES IS PROBLEMATIC BUT
IT IS SAFE TO SAY THAT ANOTHER STORM SYSTEM LOOKS TO APPROACH FROM
THE WEST FOR THE LATTER PORTION OF THE WEEK. TEMPS WILL GRADUALLY
MODERATE THROUGH EARLY-MIDDLE PORTIONS OF NEXT WEEK...RISING TO NEAR
NORMAL LEVELS BY TUE THEN CONTINUING TO WARM TO ABOVE NORMAL LEVELS
BY THU.

&&

.AVIATION /18Z FRIDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
COMPLEX SCENARIO THIS TAF PERIOD AS AT LEAST TWO SEPARATE LOWS
TRACKING W OF THE TERMS THROUGH TONIGHT WITH A COLD FRONT TO PUSH
THROUGH THE TERMS 12-15Z SAT. OUTSIDE OF LINGERING SHOWERS AT THE
ONSET AT KCHS...THE TERMS SHOULD MOSTLY BE RAIN FREE FOR THE REST
OF THE AFTN. HOWEVER...ADDITIONAL SHOWERS ARE EXPECTED TO RE-
DEVELOP AND MOVE THROUGH THE AREA OVERNIGHT AHEAD OF THE COLD FRONT.
CANNOT RULE OUT ISO TSTMS BUT CONFIDENCE NOT HIGH ENOUGH IN
TIMING/LOCATION TO MENTION ATTM. OTHERWISE...CIGS WILL LIKELY
REMAIN IN THE MVFR/IFR RANGE UNTIL LATE TONIGHT AND THEN SHOULD
BEGIN TO SLOWLY LIFT INTO A VFR DECK BY THE END OF THE TAF PERIOD.

THE OTHER MAIN CONCERN WILL BE WINDS. ALTHOUGH WE ARE SEEING WIND
GUSTS THIS AFTN...2K FT WINDS ARE 40-50 KT AND THUS MAINTAINED
LLWS. WILL LIKELY SEE SFC WINDS COME DOWN A BIT AT SOME POINT
THIS EVE UNTIL A SECONDARY LOW BEGINS TO STRENGTHEN INLAND AND
THUS LLWS APPEARS A GOOD BET THROUGH THEN. LLWS CONCERNS THEN
DIMINISH TOWARD SUNRISE AS THE SFC WINDS INCREASE ONCE AGAIN AND
THEN BECOME QUITE STRONG BY THE END OF THE TAF PERIOD AS VERTICAL MIXING
COMMENCES WHILE THE PRESSURE GRADIENT REMAINS TIGHT OVER THE AREA.

&&

.MARINE...
AS OF 10 AM...BUOY/TOWER OBS INDICATE WINDS MAINLY AOB 15 KT WITHIN
20 NM AND 20-25 KT OVER THE GA WATERS BEYOND 20 NM. LOOKS LIKE CONDS
WILL CONTINUE TO DETERIORATE THROUGH THE DAY AS AT LEAST ONE AREA OF
LOW PRESSURE STRENGTHENS INLAND AND MOVES NE INTO CNTRL NC. WITH
CONDS ALREADY AT SMALL CRAFT CRITERIA OVER THE OUTER GA
WATERS...WILL PUSH UP THE BEGIN TIMES OF THE ADVISORIES FOR AMZ374
WITH THE MORNING FCST UPDATE. WILL ALSO BUMP UP THE START TIME OF
THE ADVISORY FOR THE NEARSHORE GA WATERS DUE TO SEAS.
OTHERWISE...HEADLINES APPEAR TO BE ON TRACK WITH SMALL CRAFT ADV
CONDS BY THIS EVE ACROSS THE REST OF THE WATERS AND GALES BEGINNING
THIS EVE OVER THE OUTER GA WATERS.

CONDITIONS WILL STEADILY DETERIORATE ACROSS THE WATERS THROUGH
TONIGHT. MIXING PROFILES WILL NOT BE ALL THAT FAVORABLE FOR VIGOROUS
MIXING OVER THE COOLER SHELF WATERS...EXCEPT BEYOND 40 NM IN THE GA
OFFSHORE WATERS WHERE WARMER WATER TEMPERATURES ARE CURRENTLY FOUND.
CONFIDENCE IS INCRG THAT FREQUENT GUSTS TO GALE FORCE WILL OCCUR IN
THIS AREA AFTER AFTER MIDNIGHT SO THE GALE WATCH FOR AMZ374 WILL BE
UPGRADED TO A GALE WARNING. SMALL CRAFT ADVISORIES WILL BE
MAINTAINED ACROSS THE REMAINDER OF THE WATERS DURING THIS TIME. SEAS
WILL BUILD TO 6-9 FT ACROSS THE SC NEAR SHORE WATERS...4-7 FT OVER
THE GA NEAR SHORE WATERS AND UP TO 11 FT IN THE GA OFFSHORE LEG.

WINDS ARE EXPECTED TO INCREASE TO GALE FORCE ACROSS THE ENTIRE
MARINE AREA SATURDAY AS A COLD FRONT PUSHES OFFSHORE IN THE WAKE
OF DEPARTING LOW PRESSURE. A GALE WATCH WILL BE ISSUED FOR SAT
OUTSIDE OF THE GALE WARNING AREA AND WILL INCLUDE THE CHARLESTON
HARBOR. THE GALE WATCH MAY BE UPGRADED TO A GALE WARNING WITH THE
AFTERNOON FCST CYCLE.

SATURDAY NIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY..AS THE COLD FRONT PUSHES FURTHER E
INTO THE ATLC SAT NIGHT AND HIGH PRES SLOWLY RETURNS...WINDS AND
WAVES WILL BOTH SETTLE DOWN SAT NIGHT INTO SUN. NOT MUCH OF A PRES
GRAD IS EVIDENT ON THE BACKSIDE OF THE CDFNT...SO WILL LOOK FOR
CONDITIONS TO DROP BELOW SCA LEVELS BY DAYBREAK SUN MRNG. HIGH PRES
WILL THEN MAINTAIN ITS PRESENCE OVER THE WATERS THROUGH THE FIRST
HALF OF NEXT WEEK...KEEPING BOTH WINDS AND WAVES BELOW SCA LEVELS
DURING THIS TIME.

&&

.FIRE WEATHER...
BEHIND THIS CURRENT STORM SYSTEM...SIGNIFICANTLY DRIER AIR WILL MOVE
INTO THE AREA FOR LATE SAT THROUGH MON. RH VALUES LOOK TO DROP TO
AROUND 30 PERCENT FOR MUCH OF THE AREA SAT...THEN DROP TO 15-20
PERCENT SUN AND TO AROUND 25-30 PERCENT ON MON. IN TERMS OF FIRE
DANGER POTENTIAL...THE ONLY DAY OF THESE THAT WILL HAVE WIND SPEEDS
OF CONCERN WILL BE SAT WHICH LOOKS TO HAVE WIND SPEEDS IN EXCESS OF
CRITICAL LEVELS. SINCE NONE OF THE DAYS HAVE BOTH RH AND WINDS AT
CRITICAL LEVELS...AND THE ANTICIPATED RAINFALL PRODUCING MOIST
FUELS...AM NOT ANTICIPATING ANY RED FLAG DAYS BUT THOSE INVOLVED IN
BURNING ACTIVITIES SHOULD USE EXTRA CAUTION AND MAY WANT TO CONSIDER
POSTPONING ANY BURNING DURING THIS TIME.
