AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE CHARLESTON SC
743 PM EDT FRI MAY 29 2009

.SYNOPSIS...
A COLD FRONT WILL MOVE THROUGH THE AREA FROM THE NORTHWEST
TONIGHT. ATLANTIC HIGH PRESSURE WILL BUILD INTO THE REGION OVER
THE WEEKEND. ANOTHER COLD FRONT WILL THEN SHIFT INTO THE AREA
SUNDAY NIGHT...BEFORE DISSIPATING ON MONDAY. ATLANTIC HIGH
PRESSURE WILL REESTABLISH ITSELF THROUGH THE MIDDLE OF NEXT
WEEK...WITH ANOTHER COLD FRONT EXPECTED TO APPROACH THE AREA LATE
NEXT WEEK.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM SATURDAY MORNING/...
CONVECTION HAS BEEN ON A DOWNWARD TREND DURING THE LAST HOUR DUE
TO THE LOSS OF DAYTIME HEATING AND THE FACT THAT MOST AREAS HAVE
BEEN WORKED OVER TODAY. THE EXCEPTION IS IN FAR SOUTHEAST GA ALONG
THE ALTAMAHA RIVER WHERE SOME STRONG TO SEVERE STORMS MOVING UP
FROM THE FL PANHANDLE ARE TRIGGERING ADDITIONAL STORMS IN
RELATIVELY UNTAPPED AIR. THIS ACTIVITY SHOULD REMAIN SOUTH OF I-16
AND BE SHIFTING OFF THE GA COAST BETWEEN 02-03Z. SFC OBS AND
VISIBLE SATELLITE IMAGERY INDICATE THE COLD FRONT IS PUSHING INTO
THE WESTERN PORTION OF THE FORECAST AREA...APPROXIMATELY FROM
FAYETTEVILLE NC TO COLUMBIA SC TO ALBANY GA AT 730 PM. MOST OF THE
CONVECTION HAS LIKELY ENDED ALTHOUGH A STRAY SHOWER WITH THE
ACTUAL FRONT CANNOT BE RULED OUT OUTSIDE OF AREAS CURRENTLY SEEING
SHOWERS AND TSTMS. SEVERE TSTM THREAT IS WINDING DOWN ALTHOUGH
ORGANIZED CONVECTION IN FAR SOUTHEAST GA COUNTIES STILL CAPABLE OF
PRODUCING DAMAGING WINDS AND LARGE HAIL THROUGH APPROXIMATELY 02Z.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 AM SATURDAY MORNING THROUGH SATURDAY NIGHT/...
COLD FRONT SHOULD BE PUSHING OFF THE COAST BY DAYBREAK SATURDAY
WITH DRIER HIGH PRESSURE BUILDING IN FROM THE NORTH. CONSIDERABLE
NVA SHOULD HELP CLEAR OUT MOST OF THE LOW AND MID-LEVEL CLOUDS
ALTHOUGH A DECENT AMOUNT OF CU WILL PROBABLY POP UP BY MIDDAY.
THICKNESSES SUPPORT HIGHS AGAIN IN THE 88-90 DEGREE RANGE AWAY
FROM THE IMMEDIATE COAST.

COOLER TEMPS ANTICIPATED SAT NIGHT WITH CLEAR SKIES AND LIGHT
WINDS AS HIGH PRESSURE EXTENDS SW ACROSS THE REGION. LOWS COULD
DROP TO NEAR 60 FAR INLAND ALTHOUGH LOWER TO MIDDLE 60S SHOULD BE
THE GENERAL RULE.

&&

.LONG TERM /SUNDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/...
A WESTERLY FLOW AT THE SURFACE AND ALOFT AHEAD OF A COLD FRONT
APPROACHING FROM THE NORTHWEST WILL KEEP DRY CONDITIONS IN PLACE
OVER THE AREA ON SUNDAY. MOSTLY SUNNY SKIES AND STRONG COMPRESSIONAL
HEATING WILL ALLOW TEMPERATURES TO REACH WELL INTO THE LOWER 90S
AWAY FROM COASTAL AREAS.

THE FRONT WILL DROP INTO THE AREA SUNDAY NIGHT AS A SHORT WAVE
SHIFTS OFF THE CAROLINA COAST. GIVEN THE LACK OF DEEP
MOISTURE...EXPECT ONLY AN INCREASE IN MID LEVEL CLOUD COVER WITH
THIS FEATURE. AS THE FRONT DISSIPATES OVER THE AREA ON MONDAY...AN
ONSHORE FLOW WILL DEVELOP ALLOWING FOR A SLIGHT INCREASE IN
MOISTURE. AS A RESULT...THE FORECAST WILL SHOW A SLIGHT CHANCE OF
SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ALONG AND AHEAD OF THE SEA BREEZE DURING
THE AFTERNOON.

ATLANTIC HIGH PRESSURE WILL BECOME ESTABLISHED THROUGH THE MIDDLE OF
NEXT WEEK...WHILE A LEE SIDE TROUGH PREVAILS INLAND. THERE WILL BE A
SLIGHT CHANCE FOR SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS IN THE AFTERNOON ON BOTH
TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY WELL INLAND IN CLOSER PROXIMITY TO THE LEE
SIDE THROUGH...OTHERWISE MOSTLY CLEAR TO PARTLY CLOUDY SKIES AND
SLIGHTLY ABOVE NORMAL TEMPERATURES WILL PREVAIL.

THERE IS DISAGREEMENT BETWEEN THE MEDIUM RANGE GUIDANCE TOWARD THE
END OF THE FORECAST PERIOD...WITH THE OPERATIONAL 12Z GFS SHOWING A
GULF COAST LOW ON THURSDAY SHIFTING INTO THE WESTERN ATLANTIC ON
FRIDAY...WHILE THE 12Z ECMWF SHOWS A COLD FRONT DROPPING SOUTHEAST
ACROSS THE AREA. WHILE THE DETAILS ARE UNCERTAIN...IT DOES APPEAR
THAT THE ATLANTIC HIGH PRESSURE SYSTEM WILL BEGIN TO ERODE ALONG ITS
WESTERN PERIPHERY. AS A RESULT...THE FORECAST WILL INDICATE A CHANCE
OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS THURSDAY THROUGH FRIDAY.

&&

.AVIATION /00Z SATURDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
CONVECTION LOOKS TO HAVE ENDED AT CHS DUE TO STABILIZATION OF THE
AIRMASS ALTHOUGH THERE STILL MAY BE A STRAY SHOWER TO MOVE THROUGH
SAV PRIOR TO 03Z. REMOVED TEMPO TSRA FROM KSAV AS IT APPEARS THE
BRUNT OF THE ONGOING TSTM ACTIVITY WILL REMAIN S OF THE TERMINAL.
PREFER TO CARRY A VCTS FOR THE NEXT 3 HRS AS SOME OF THE STORMS
MAY MOVE FAIRLY CLOSE TO THE S. OVERNIGHT...SHALLOW GROUND FOG MAY
REDUCE VSBYS TO MVFR AT TIMES...ESPECIALLY SINCE BOTH CHS AND SAV
RECEIVED A FAIR AMOUNT OF RAINFALL. KEPT BOTH SITES AT A TOKEN 6
MI IN MIST AT THIS POINT.

VFR CONDITIONS FOR SATURDAY WITH DRIER AIR FILTERING IN FROM THE
NORTH. A LATE DAY SEABREEZE SHOULD MOVE THROUGH BOTH
TERMINALS...BACKING WINDS TO SOUTHERLY BUT LESS THAN 10 KT. ANY
AFTERNOON CUMULUS SHOULD CLEAR OUT LATE IN THE DAY TO YIELD CLEAR
SKIES SAT NIGHT.

EXTENDED AVIATION OUTLOOK...VFR CONDITIONS EXPECTED THROUGH WED.

&&

.MARINE...
WINDS WILL BECOME VARIABLE OVER THE WATERS LATE TONIGHT AS THE
COLD FRONT DROPS THROUGH. WEAK PRESSURE GRADIENT THROUGH SATURDAY
NIGHT WILL MAINTAIN RELATIVELY WEAK WINDS AND LOW SEAS. A WEAK
SEABREEZE SHOULD DEVELOP FAIRLY EARLY ON SATURDAY DUE TO THE WEAK
FLOW AND STRONG INLAND WARMING.

ATLANTIC HIGH PRESSURE WILL BE IN PLACE ON SUNDAY...WITH A WEAKENING
COLD FRONT DROPPING INTO THE AREA SUNDAY NIGHT BEFORE DISSIPATING ON
MONDAY. ATLANTIC HIGH PRESSURE WILL THEN REESTABLISH ITSELF THROUGH
THE MIDDLE OF NEXT WEEK. GIVEN A WEAK SURFACE PRESSURE GRADIENT IN
PLACE OVER THE REGION SUNDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY...WINDS SHOULD REMAIN
15 KT OR LESS WITH SEAS NO GREATER THAN 2 OR 3 FT THROUGH THE
PERIOD.
