AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE CHARLESTON SC
406 PM EDT TUE MAR 18 2008

.SYNOPSIS...
A STRONG COLD FRONT WILL APPROACH FROM THE NW ON WED AND MOVE
OFFSHORE LATE WED NIGHT. HIGH PRES IS EXPECTED TO RETURN THU INTO
SAT. ANOTHER STORM SYSTEM MAY APPROACH THE AREA EARLY NEXT WEEK.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM WEDNESDAY MORNING/...
HIGH PRESSURE WILL CONTINUE PUSHING OFFSHORE INTO THE ATLANTIC
TONIGHT AS A COLD FRONT APPROACHES THE AREA FROM THE NW. BENIGN
CONDITIONS WILL PREVAIL OVERNIGHT WITH CLOUDS BREAKING UP OVER THE
AREA AFTER MIDNIGHT. HOWEVER...ONSHORE WINDS WILL SLOWLY BEGIN
INCREASING LATE AS THE GRADIENT TIGHTENS.

TEMPERATURES WILL DROP DOWN INTO THE MID 50S INLAND TO AROUND 60
NEAR THE COAST.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 AM WEDNESDAY MORNING THROUGH WEDNESDAY NIGHT/...
A COLD FRONT WILL APPROACH THE AREA FROM THE NW ON WEDNESDAY.
MODELS ARE SLOW WITH THE FRONTAL PASSAGE PUSHING IT THROUGH LATE
WEDNESDAY NIGHT. MEANWHILE...HAVE SLOWED THE PRECIP DOWN TO START
LATER IN THE AFTERNOON IN THE WESTERN ZONES. MODELS ARE
INDICATING WEAK INSTABILITY ASSOCIATED WITH THE LOW PRESSURE
SYSTEM. MID-LEVEL LAPSE RATES ARE REMAINING AROUND 5-5.5C...LI/S
ARE BETWEEN 0 AND 2...AND 0-3KM CAPE VALUES ARE AROUND 100 J/KG.
DAY 2 CONVECTIVE OUTLOOK KEEPS US IN THE SLIGHT RISK WHICH STILL
LOOKS FEASIBLE AT THIS TIME. THE MAIN CONCERN WITH THE DEVELOPING
THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE DAMAGING WINDS AS A LOW LEVEL JET WILL
INCREASE TO 50 KNOTS OVER THE AREA. ALTHOUGH AN ISOLATED RISK OF
TORNADOES CAN NOT BE RULED OUT.

WINDS...STRONG PREFRONTAL WINDS...INCLUDING 925MB WINDS OF 40KT AND
850MB WINDS ARND 60 KT...MOVING OVER THE REGION WILL MAKE FOR STRONG
WINDS OVER THE AREA STARTING SHORTLY AFTER SUNRISE. FAVORABLE MIXING
PROFILES WILL MAKE FOR 20-25 KT WINDS AT THE SFC FOR THE LATE MRNG
THROUGH THE EARLY EVE HOURS. SLIGHTLY HIGHER WIND SPEEDS CAN BE
EXPECTED NEAR THE COAST...SO WITH 20-30 MPH WINDS EXPECTED ALL DAY
AND GUSTS REACHING NEAR 40 MPH A WIND ADVY HAS BEEN ISSUED FOR THE
ENTIRE AREA TMRW.

&&

.LONG TERM /THURSDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...
SKIES WILL QUICKLY CLEAR OUT IN THE WAKE OF THE FRONT AS A RIDGE
OF HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS BACK INTO THE AREA THROUGH THE WEEKEND.
ANOTHER SYSTEM MAY APPROACH THE AREA BY LATE WEEKEND. MINIMUM
TEMPERATURES WILL BE IN THE LOW TO MID 40S WITH HIGHS IN THE UPPER
60S TO LOW 70S THROUGH THE WEEKEND AND COOLING DOWN BY EARLY WEEK.

&&

.AVIATION /19Z TUESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/...
EXTENSIVE STRATOCU CLOUD SHIELD ACRS THE SE STATES WILL PERSIST
THROUGH LATE EVENING...THEN WEAK SUBSIDENCE OVERNIGHT AND SLIGHT
DECOUPLING MAY ALLOW FOR A FEW BREAKS IN THE BKN DECK...ESP AT
KCHS RATHER THAN KSAV. THE SCT LAYERS WILL LOWER TO BETWEEN
1500-2000 FT OVERNIGHT...AND WITH BETTER MOISTURE POOLING NEAR
KSAV THERE IS A GOOD CHANCE FOR A FEW PREDAWN HOURS OF MVFR CIGS.
KCHS LOOKS TO REMAIN VFR THROUGHOUT THE OVERNIGHT HOURS. AFTER
SUNRISE...MULTIPLE SCT LAYERS LOOK TO DEVELOP AHEAD OF THE CDFNT
DUE FOR LATER WED EVE. PRECIP LOOKS TO HOLD OFF UNTIL AFTER 18Z
WED SO HAVE NOT INCLUDED ANY PRECIP WITH THE MOST RECENT TAF SET.

THE MAIN CONCERN THROUGHOUT THE 18/18Z TAFS WILL BE THE WINDS.
CURRENT WIND SPEEDS ARE ARND 15 KT AT BOTH SITES. WITH LESSER
MIXING TNGT...SPEEDS WILL DROP OFF TO ARND 10 KT. HOWEVER...A
STRONG LLJ WILL APPROACH THE AREA BY EARLY MRNG WED AND BRING 40
KT WIND SPEEDS AS LOW AS 2 KFT. THUS...WITH SFC WIND SPEED ARND 10
KT...HAVE INCLUDED A LLWS GROUPING AT BOTH SITES LATE TNGT THROUGH
SUNRISE. AFTER SUNRISE...EFFICIENT MIXING WILL ALLOW FOR SFC
SUSTAINED SPEEDS TO EXCEED 15 KT BY LATE MRNG WITH GUSTS REACHING
25 KT. LOOK FOR SUSTAINED SPEEDS TO APPROACH 20 KT BY MID AFTN
WED.

EXTENDED AVIATION OUTLOOK...MVFR OR LOWER CONDITIONS DUE TO
SHWRS/TSTMS EXPECTED LATE WED INTO WED NIGHT AS A COLD FRONT
APPROACHES AND MOVES THROUGH THE AREA. VFR CONDS WILL RETURN THU-
SAT.

&&

.MARINE...
AS HIGH PRES CENTERED OFF THE JERSEY SHORE PUSHES FURTHER INTO THE
ATLC...A WEAK COASTAL TROF OFF THE CAROLINA COAST WILL GRADUALLY
MOVE EAST AS WELL. THIS WILL ALLOW FOR A SLIGHT WEAKENING IN WIND
SPEEDS THROUGH THIS EVE. HOWEVER...AS A CDFNT APPROACHES FROM THE W
AND STRONG PREFRONTAL JETTING MOVES TWD THE COAST...WIND SPEEDS WILL
QUICKLY INCRS ACRS THE COASTAL WATERS. WIND SPEEDS WILL EXCEED 20 KT
FOR ALL MARINE ZONES BY DAYBREAK TMRW MRNG AND WILL LIKELY REACH 25
KT BY LATE MRNG. BOTH MMG AND MRP GUIDANCE DICTATE 25-30 KT
SUSTAINED WIND SPEEDS AT AREA BUOYS...WHICH GIVES RISE TO POSSIBLE
GALES BEYOND 20 NM OF SHORE. AM QUITE CONFIDENT THAT GUSTS TO GALE
FORCE WILL BE EXPERIENCED OVER THE OUTER GA WATERS TMRW...SO HAVE
UPGRADED THE GALE WATCH TO A WRNG FOR MIDDAY TMRW THROUGH TMRW EVE.
THE OTHER CONCERN FOR GALES IS THE FAR NE PORTION OF THE NEARSHORE
SC WATERS. GIVEN THE LONGER S TO SW FETCH OF WINDS ALONG THAT ZONE
AND GOOD MIXING IN THE AFTN...CONFIDENCE IS GROWING THAT GALES WILL
BE EXPERIENCED BUT NOT QUITE ENOUGH TO ISSUE A GALE WRNG SO WILL
HOIST A GALE WATCH FOR TMRW AFTN WITH A SCA HEADLINE AHEAD OF IT FOR
TNGT INTO TMRW. THE REMAINING MARINE ZONES...INCLUDING CHAS
HARBOR...WILL CONTINUE TO HAVE SCA HEADLINES.

SEAS WILL ALSO RISE IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE WIND SPEEDS DUE TO A
STRONG SLY FETCH. SEAS MAY REACH 9-10 FT IN THE NRN SC
WATERS...DROPPING TO ABOUT 6-8 FT IN THE SRN NEARSHORE GA WATERS
WHILE THE OUTER GA WATERS ALSO REACH UP TO 10 FT. WITH THE STRONG
SLY WINDS ANTICIPATED AT THE TIME OF THESE HIGH SEAS...THERE IS THE
CHANCE THAT BREAKERS IN THE NRN SC WATERS MAY REACH 4-5 FT AND MINOR
TO MODERATE BEACH EROSION IS POSSIBLE. ALSO COMPLICATING MATTERS IS
THAT THE CYCLE IS APPROACHING A FULL MOON. WITH THE FULL MOON AND
UPSTREAM BUOYS SHOWING GROWING SWELLS...LOCAL RIP CURRENT WORKSHEET
PRODUCES A HIGH RISK OF RIP CURRENTS TMRW.

ONCE THE FRONT PUSHES OFFSHORE LATE TMRW EVE...WINDS WILL SHIFT TO
W-NW AND THE GRADIENT WILL RELAX SO CONDITIONS BOTH AT THE BEACHES
AND IN THE COASTAL WATERS WILL STEADILY IMPROVE. HIGH PRESSURE WILL
FOLLOW THE FRONT AND SLOWLY SLIDE OVER THE COASTAL WATERS LATE THU
THROUGH SAT...MAKING FOR TRANQUIL CONDS FOR THE END OF THIS WEEK.
