AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE CHARLESTON SC
352 AM EDT SAT MAR 28 2009

...SEVERE WEATHER LIKELY TODAY AND TONIGHT...

.SYNOPSIS...
A STRONG COLD FRONT WILL APPROACH FROM THE WEST TODAY AND MOVE
OFFSHORE LATE TONIGHT. WEAK HIGH PRESSURE WILL BUILD INTO THE
AREA SUNDAY AND PERSIST THROUGH MONDAY NIGHT. A SERIES OF
DISTURBANCES WILL AFFECT THE AREA TUESDAY THROUGH FRIDAY...
CREATING ANOTHER PERIOD OF UNSETTLED WEATHER.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TODAY/...
ITS ANOTHER QUIET EARLY MORNING ACROSS SOUTHEAST SOUTH CAROLINA
AND SOUTHEAST GEORGIA--A FAR CRY FROM WHAT WILL LIKELY BE
TRANSPIRING IN ABOUT 12-18 HOURS. TEMPERATURES HAVE COOLED A
LITTLE MORE THAN EXPECTED ACROSS INTERIOR SOUTHEAST GEORGIA WHERE
SURPRISINGLY WINDS HAVE BEEN CALM FOR SEVERAL HOURS NOW. GENERALLY
EXPECT LOWS TO BOTTOM OUT IN THE UPPER 50S WELL INLAND WITH LOWER
60S ELSEWHERE. SOME PATCHY FOG IS BEGINNING TO DEVELOP WHERE WINDS
HAVE DROPPED OFF BUT REALLY DO NOT EXPECT THE FOG TO BECOME TOO
SIGNIFICANT AS BOUNDARY LAYER WIND FIELDS ARE EXPECTED TO INCREASE
AS SUNRISE APPROACHES.

A POTENTIALLY SIGNIFICANT SEVERE WEATHER EVENT IS SHAPING UP FOR
THE SOUTHEAST U.S. TODAY AND TONIGHT AS AN IMPRESSIVE STORM SYSTEM
MOVES RAPIDLY EAST OUT OF THE SOUTHERN PLAINS AND A WARM FRONTAL
BOUNDARY MOVES NORTH THROUGH THE DEEP SOUTH. A LARGE MESOSCALE
CONVECTIVE SYSTEM WITH WIDESPREAD HEAVY RAIN AND POCKETS OF SEVERE
THUNDERSTORMS ARE ALREADY ONGOING ACROSS MUCH OF THE LOWER
MISSISSIPPI VALLEY WITH ADDITIONAL SHOWERS/TSTMS BEGINNING TO
BLOSSOM WITHIN THE STRENGTHENING WAA REGIME ACROSS THE FLORIDA
PANHANDLE AND WESTERN GEORGIA. THIS LARGE CONVECTIVE COMPLEX WILL
CONTINUE TO ORGANIZE THIS MORNING...LIKELY MORPHING INTO ONE OR
TWO SQUALL LINES OR SEVERAL QLCS CLUSTERS IT PROGRESSES EAST AND
INTERACTS WITH INCREASING SURFACE BASED INSTABILITY AND STRENGTHENING
WIND FIELDS.

ALTHOUGH EXTENSIVE CLOUD COVER SHOULD LIMIT POTENTIAL INSTABILITY
SOMEWHAT TODAY...HIGH TEMPERATURES REACHING INTO THE 70S COUPLED
WITH DEWPOINTS RISING INTO THE MID TO UPPER 60S SHOULD BE ENOUGH
TO SUPPORT SBCAPES AROUND 1000-1500 J/KG WITH LIFTED INDICES
DROPPING TO -3 TO -5C. THIS COUPLED IMPRESSIVE KINEMATIC PROFILES
AND A STRONG 250MB DIFLUENCE SIGNATURE FORECAST TO DEVELOP OVER
E-CENTRAL GEORGIA AND CENTRAL SOUTH CAROLINA AFTER 18Z WILL
SUPPORT AN ENHANCED RISK FOR SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS FROM THIS
AFTERNOON THROUGH THIS EVENING WITH LARGE HAIL...DAMAGING WINDS
AND TORNADOES BEING THE MAIN HAZARDS. FLOODING COULD BECOME A
SECONDARY CONCERN AS MODELS SHOW PWATS SURGING AS HIGH AS 1.85
INCHES /NEAR RECORD LEVELS FOR LATE MARCH/...BUT THE PROGRESSIVE
NATURE OF THE STORMS SUGGEST WIDESPREAD FLASH FLOODING APPEARS
UNLIKELY ATTM.

THE SPC CONTINUES TO HIGHLIGHT ENHANCED SEVERE WEATHER PROBABILITIES
ACROSS THE INTERIOR COUNTIES...WHICH SEEMS REASONABLE GIVEN THE
ANTICIPATED SETUP TODAY. WOULD NOT BE SURPRISED TO SEE AN UPGRADE
TO A MODERATE RISK SOMEWHERE ACROSS A PORTION OF SOUTH CAROLINA
AND/OR GEORGIA LATER THIS MORNING...WHICH COULD INCLUDE PARTS OF
THE LOCAL FORECAST AREA. THIS WILL BE COORDINATED LATER THIS
MORNING. WILL GO AHEAD AND MENTION LARGE HAIL...DAMAGING WINDS AND
TORNADOES IN THE GRIDS AND TEXT FORECAST PRODUCTS WITH THIS
FORECAST CYCLE AS CONFIDENCE IS PRETTY HIGH THAT A TORNADO WATCH
WILL LIKELY BE ISSUED FOR THE AREA LATER TODAY. TIMING FOR THE
GREATEST RISK FOR SEVERE WEATHER LOOKS TO BE ROUGHLY IN THE 4 PM-
10 PM TIME FRAME...WHICH IS A LITTLE EARLIER THAN EXPECTED
YESTERDAY.

AS FOR POPS...COULD SEE SOME ISOLATED TO SCATTERED WARM ADVECTION
SHOWERS MOVE THROUGH THE AREA FROM SUNRISE THROUGH MID-MORNING SO
WILL CARRY SOME 20-40 PCNT POPS DURING THIS TIME WITH POPS RAMPING
UP TO 40-60 PCNT BY MID AFTERNOON...HIGHEST ACROSS THE WESTERN
ZONES.

BREEZY CONDITIONS APPEAR LIKELY FOR MANY AREAS TODAY AS INCREASING
MIXING HEIGHTS BEGIN TO TAP INTO THE STRENGTHENING WINDS ALOFT.
COULD SEE GUSTS APPROACH 30-35 MPH AT TIMES THIS AFTERNOON. WIND
SPEEDS LOOK TO REMAIN BELOW WIND ADVISORY CRITERIA...BUT WILL BE
CAREFULLY MONITORED.

LAKE WINDS...WINDS LOOK TO REACH LAKE WIND ADVISORY CRITERIA BY
LATE MORNING AND WILL CONTINUE THROUGH SUNDAY EVENING. WINDS MAY
BRIEFLY DROP BELOW CRITERIA FOR A FEW HOURS LATE TONIGHT IN THE
WAKE OF THE SQUALL LINE BUT ARE EXPECTED TO PICK BACK UP SUNDAY
MORNING AS A COLD FRONT SWEEPS OFFSHORE. FELT IT BEST TO KEEP THE
ADVISORY IN TACT THROUGH SUNDAY EVENING IN LIEU OF DROPPING IT
LATE TONIGHT...JUST TO REISSUE IT AGAIN FOR SUNDAY.

&&

.SHORT TERM /TONIGHT/...
SEE THE NEAR TERM SECTION ABOVE FOR SPECIFICS ON THE EXPECTED
SEVERE WEATHER EVENT. OTHERWISE THE SEVERE WEATHER EVENT WILL
LIKELY BE ONGOING OR JUST GETTING STARTING AT THE BEGINNING OF
THE TONIGHT PERIOD WITH SQUALL LINE LIKELY MOVING IN FROM THE WEST
SHORTLY AFTER SUNSET. TIMING OF THE GREATEST SHOWERS/TSTM COVERAGE
LOOKS TO OCCUR BETWEEN 00-06Z SO WILL CARRY 80 PCNT POPS FOR ALL
AREAS DURING THIS TIME. HIGHER POPS ARE CERTAINLY A POSSIBILITY...
BUT MUCH WILL DEPEND ON HOW THE UPSTREAM MCS EVOLVES TODAY. STORM
TOTAL AMOUNTS LOOK TO RUN IN THE 1-2 INCH CATEGORY WITH LOCALLY
HIGHER AMOUNTS POSSIBLE. WILL CONTINUE TO MENTION LARGE HAIL/DAMAGING
WINDS AND TORNADOES THROUGH LATE EVENING...AFTER WHICH THE RISK
FOR SEVERE WEATHER LOOKS TO QUICKLY WIND DOWN. LOWS WILL BE TRICKY
TONIGHT AND MAINLY A FUNCTION OF HOW QUICKLY THE COLD FRONT
PROGRESSES THROUGH THE AREA. ATTM EXPECT LOWS FROM THE MID 50S
ACROSS FAR INTERIOR SOUTHEAST GEORGIA TO THE LOWER TO MID 60S
CLOSER TO THE COAST. THIS MAY NEED TO BE ADJUSTED PENDING FURTHER
MODEL RUNS.

&&

.LONG TERM /SUNDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/...
LATEST MODEL SOLUTIONS INDICATE A SLIGHTLY FASTER FRONTAL
PROGRESSION OFFSHORE SUNDAY MORNING...AND HAVE THUS ADJUSTED RAIN
CHANCES ACCORDINGLY. INDICATE ONLY A SLIGHT CHANCE OF SHOWERS OVER
THE COASTAL LOCATIONS DURING THE MORNING HOURS...WITH A CHANCE FOR
SHOWERS AND SLIGHT CHANCE OF THUNDER LINGERING OVER THE MARINE
ZONES. RAIN CHANCES SHOULD END FOR ALL AREAS BY SUNDAY
AFTERNOON...AS THICK CLOUD COVER SCATTERS BEHIND THE DEPARTING
COLD FRONT. SOME COLD ADVECTION WILL KEEP HIGH TEMPERATURES SUNDAY
AFTERNOON IN THE LOWER 70S...BUT MAINLY COMBINE WITH A TIGHT
PRESSURE GRADIENT TO PRODUCE BREEZY CONDITIONS ACROSS THE AREA.
WEST WINDS COULD REACH 15 TO 20 KT OVER LAND ON SUNDAY...WITH LAKE
WIND ADVISORY CONDITIONS CONTINUING FOR LAKE MOULTRIE.

WEAK HIGH PRESSURE WILL MOVE IN FROM THE WEST LATE SUNDAY THROUGH
MONDAY...BRINGING A SHORT PERIOD OF DRY AND QUIET WEATHER TO THE
REGION. THE CENTER OF THE SURFACE HIGH WILL QUICKLY SHIFT OFFSHORE
BY LATE MONDAY...AS A WEAKENING COLD FRONT APPROACHES FROM THE WEST.
MODELS HAVE BEEN FAIRLY CONSISTENT IN INDICATING WAVES OF LOW
PRESSURE DEVELOPING ALONG THE SOUTHERN EXTENT OF THE FRONT TUESDAY
INTO WEDNESDAY. HOWEVER THERE REMAINS SIGNIFICANT DISAGREEMENT IN
THE TIMING AND TRACK OF THE MAIN LOW SYSTEM THAT MOVES INTO THE
REGION FROM THE GULF OF MEXICO EARLY WEDNESDAY. DESPITE
DIFFERENCES IN THE DETAILS...THERE IS ENOUGH CONFIDENCE THAT
PORTIONS OF TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY WILL BE CLOUDY AND WET TO
MAINTAIN CHANCE POPS. WILL CAP RAIN CHANCES AROUND 40
PERCENT...HIGHEST TUESDAY NIGHT INTO WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON.

LATEST GFS SOLUTION PRODUCES A SLIGHTLY MORE NORTHERLY TRACK OF
THE LOW SYSTEM...WHICH WOULD KEEP THE FORECAST AREA WITHIN THE
WARM SECTOR AND ALLOW FOR HIGHER INSTABILITY. HAVE THUS INCLUDED
MENTION OF THUNDER FOR WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON. ALTHOUGH SHORTWAVE
ACTIVITY WILL BE MOVING THROUGH THE AREA...UPPER LEVEL DYNAMICS ARE
NOT VERY IMPRESSIVE AT THIS POINT.

TRAILING COLD FRONT BEHIND THE LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM WILL SWING
THROUGH THE FORECAST AREA LATE WEDNESDAY...ALLOWING SOME DRIER AIR
TO BRIEFLY PUSH INTO THE SOUTHEAST STATES. GFS MODEL THEN DRAGS
THE LINGERING BOUNDARY BACK NORTH THROUGH THE AREA...THUS
INCREASING DEEP LAYER MOISTURE AND RAIN CHANCES AGAIN FOR LATE IN
THE WEEK. WILL REMAIN GENERIC THIS FAR OUT IN THE FORECAST PERIOD
AND KEEP POPS AT OR BELOW 30 PERCENT THURSDAY AND FRIDAY.

HIGH TEMPERATURES WILL GENERALLY REMAIN IN THE 70S. THURSDAY AND
FRIDAY LOOK TO BE THE WARMEST DAYS...AS THE REGION FALLS WITHIN
SOLID WARM SOUTHERLY FLOW.

&&

.AVIATION /07Z SATURDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
THE MAIN CHANGES FOR THE 06Z TAF CENTER AROUND BACKING OFF ON MVFR
CEILINGS THROUGH SUNRISE AND TRYING TO PIN DOWN THE TIMING OF WHEN
THUNDERSTORMS WILL IMPACT THE TERMINALS. FIRST...MVFR CEILINGS
WHICH HAVE PLAGUED THE KCHS TERMINAL SINCE SUNSET APPEAR TO HAVE
MOVED OFF THE NORTH WITH WINDS NOW TURNING SLIGHTLY WEST OF SOUTH.
ONLY KLRO AND KMKS ARE STILL REPORTING CEILINGS AROUND 1500 FT BUT
THESE TOO SHOULD IMPROVE OVER THE NEXT FEW HOURS. THE LATEST
SHORT TERM GUIDANCE SUGGESTS VFR CONDITIONS WILL PREVAIL FOR THE
REMAINDER OF THE NIGHT AT BOTH TERMINALS. COULD SEE A BRIEF PERIOD
OF MVFR VSBYS FROM LIGHT FOG AT KSAV JUST PRIOR TO SUNRISE...BUT
THIS SHOULD REMAIN INSIGNIFICANT.

GENERALLY EXPECT VFR CONDITIONS TO PREVAIL THROUGH AT LEAST EARLY
TO MID AFTERNOON AS THE AREA REMAINS LOCATED SOLIDLY WITH THE
WARM SECTOR. CAN NOT RULE OUT A FEW WAA INDUCED SHOWERS PUSHING
THROUGH LATER THIS MORNING BUT LACK OF TIMING CONFIDENCE
PRECLUDES ANY MENTION ATTM. DATA SUGGESTS A SQUALL LINE WILL
APPROACH FROM THE WEST BY MID-LATE AFTERNOON AND LIKELY PUSH
THROUGH BOTH TERMINALS SOMETIME WITHIN THE 22-03Z TIME FRAME.
HAVE PLAYED ANY POTENTIAL IMPACTS FAIRLY CONSERVATIVELY FOR
NOW...GOING NO LOWER THAN MVFR. HOWEVER HAIL...STRONG WINDS AND
FREQUENT CLOUD TO GROUND LIGHTNING COULD ACCOMPANY THIS LINE.
LATER FORECAST CYCLES WILL MOST LIKELY TREND CONDITIONS DOWN
FURTHER ONCE CONVECTIVE TRENDS BECOME BETTER ESTABLISHED LATER
TODAY. FINALLY...GUSTY SOUTHERLY WINDS APPEAR LIKELY FROM LATE
MORNING/EARLY AFTERNOON UNTIL THE PASSAGE OF THE SQUALL LINE.
GUSTS COULD REACH 30 KNOTS AT TIMES OUTSIDE OF TSTMS.

EXTENDED AVIATION OUTLOOK...VFR CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED TO RETURN
EARLY NEXT WEEK.

&&

.MARINE...
WINDS HAVE DIMINISHED SOMEWHAT OVER THE PAST FEW HOURS BUT SPEEDS
SHOULD BEGIN TO INCREASE LATER THIS MORNING AS LOW-LEVEL JETTING
INTENSIFIES. EXPECT WINDS TO REACH 20-25 KT FOR MOST AREAS THIS
AFTERNOON WITH GUSTS APPROACHING GALE FORCE BY LATE AFTERNOON
OVER THE EASTERN HALF OF THE GEORGIA OFFSHORE ZONE. SMALL CRAFT
ADVISORIES WILL REMAIN IN FORCE WITH SEAS EXPECTED TO TOP OUT 5-7
FT NEARSHORE AND 7-10 FT OFFSHORE.

WINDS WILL VEER SOUTHWEST TONIGHT AS A COLD FRONT APPROACHES FROM
THE WEST. NAM AND GFS WIND FIELDS SUGGEST WIND GUSTS COULD REACH
GALE FORCE FOR ABOUT A 7-10 HOUR PERIOD AS THE PRE-FRONTAL LOW-
LEVEL JET PEAKS. THE WARMEST WATER TEMPERATURES ARE LOCATED ABOUT
40 NM OUT SO THIS IS WHERE THE RISK FOR FREQUENT GALE FORCE GUSTS
WILL BE THE GREATEST. FOR THIS REASON...A GALE WARNING WILL BE
ISSUED FOR AMZ374 THROUGH LATE TONIGHT. OF COURSE...HIGHER WINDS
ALONG WITH LARGE HAIL AND WATERSPOUTS WILL BE POSSIBLE ACROSS THE
ENTIRE MARINE AREA AS A SQUALL LINE MOVES THROUGH FROM THE WEST
DURING THE LATE EVENING HOURS. MARINERS SHOULD PREPARE NOW FOR
POSSIBLE SEVERE WEATHER FROM LATE AFTERNOON THROUGH LATE THIS
EVENING. COORDINATED HEADLINES WITH WFO JAX AND THE OCEAN
PREDICTION CENTER...MUCH THANKS.

SUNDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY...SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY CONDITIONS WILL
CONTINUE ACROSS MOST OF THE MARINE ZONES THROUGH SUNDAY...AS A
RESULT OF A TIGHT PRESSURE GRADIENT BEHIND THE DEPARTING COLD
FRONT AND COLD ADVECTION ENHANCED MIXING OVER THE WATERS. MARINE
CONDITIONS WILL IMPROVE SUNDAY NIGHT AS WEAK HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS
INTO THE REGION FROM THE WEST. RATHER BENIGN CONDITIONS WILL THEN
PERSIST THROUGH MONDAY AS PRESSURE REMAINS IN CONTROL OF THE
PATTERN. ANOTHER STORM SYSTEM FROM THE GULF OF MEXICO MAY AFFECT
THE WATERS TUESDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY. MODEL DISAGREEMENT IN THE
TRACK OF THE LOW PRESSURE LENDS LOW CONFIDENCE IN DETAILS. HOWEVER
IT DOES APPEAR THAT SOUTHERLY WINDS WILL BE INCREASING BY MID
WEEK...POSSIBLY APPROACHING SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY CRITERIA IN AT
LEAST THE OFFSHORE WATERS.

RIP CURRENTS...DESPITE BREEZY CONDITIONS ALONG THE BEACHES AND
LINGERING INFLUENCES FROM THE RECENT NEW MOON...SWELLS HAVE THUS
FAR BEEN TOO SMALL TO JUSTIFY A HIGH RIP CURRENT RISK. WILL
MAINTAIN A MODERATE RIP CURRENT RISK THROUGH THIS EVENING.
