AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE CHARLESTON SC
1055 PM EST WED FEB 18 2009

.SYNOPSIS...
A STRONG COLD FRONT WILL MOVE ACROSS THE AREA EARLY THURSDAY
FOLLOWED BY HIGH PRESSURE LATER THURSDAY INTO SATURDAY. A COASTAL
LOW WILL DEVELOP OFF THE SOUTH CAROLINA AND GEORGIA COAST SATURDAY
NIGHT AND SUNDAY...THEN TRACK NORTHEAST AND AWAY FROM THE AREA
SUNDAY NIGHT. HIGH PRESSURE WILL BUILD BACK INTO THE AREA EARLY
NEXT WEEK.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM THURSDAY MORNING/...
CURRENTLY AT THE SURFACE...A COLD FRONT EXTENDS FROM WESTERN NORTH
CAROLINA SOUTHWESTWARD THROUGH NORTHERN GEORGIA AND INTO CENTRAL
ALABAMA AND MISSISSIPPI. RADAR IMAGERY SHOWS NUMEROUS SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS MAINLY WEST OF THE FORECAST AREA...WITH SOME ACTIVITY
IMPACTING SOUTHEAST GEORGIA ZONES. MAIN NEAR TERM CONCERNS FOR THE
OVERNIGHT CONTINUE TO REVOLVE AROUND SEVERE POTENTIAL AND POPS.

TONIGHT...
THE STRONG COLD FRONT WILL CONTINUE TO APPROACH FROM THE WEST AND IS
EXPECTED TO REACH THE COAST CLOSE TO OR SHORTLY AFTER 12Z THURSDAY.
QUITE A NICE LINE OF CONVECTION HAS DEVELOPED FROM NEAR KCAE WEST
SOUTHWESTWARD THROUGH CENTRAL GEORGIA AND INTO SOUTHERN ALABAMA AND
MISSISSIPPI IN ADVANCE OF THE COLD FRONT THIS EVENING. UPSTREAM
SURFACE OBSERVATIONS DEPICT A NICE AREA OF 65+ DEWPOINT AIR LIFTING
NORTHEASTWARD FROM THE GULF COAST STATES TOWARD THE FORECAST
AREA...WITH DEWPOINTS ALREADY CLIMBING INTO THE LOWER 60S ACROSS
SOUTHWESTERN ZONES. WITH CONTINUED ADVECTION OF HIGHER SURFACE
DEWPOINTS INTO THE AREA ALONG WITH STRONG SYNOPTIC FORCING FOR
ASCENT PROVIDED BY A ENTRANCE REGION FORCING FROM A 130+ KT H25 JET
AND STRONG MID-LEVEL QG SUPPORT...CERTAINLY DON/T EXPECT SHOWER AND
THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY TO END. LOW LEVEL JET AT H85 IS EXPECTED TO
CONTINUE TO STRENGTHEN TO BETWEEN 50 AND 55 KNOTS THROUGH 09Z
THURSDAY...AND WITH MID-LEVEL LAPSE RATES OF 6.5 C/KM AND SOME
MEAGER SURFACE BASED INSTABILITY OF 200 TO 400 J/KG OF CAPE...IT
STILL APPEARS THAT DAMAGING WINDS AND LARGE HAIL REMAIN A THREAT
WITH THE MORE ORGANIZED CONVECTION THAT DEVELOPS. AN ISOLATED
TORNADO CAN/T BE RULED OUT...BUT GIVEN NEARLY UNIDIRECTIONAL FLOW
THROUGH THE COLUMN...NOT ENOUGH OF A PROBABILITY TO INCLUDE MENTION
IN THE FORECAST OVERNIGHT.

UPSTREAM TEMPERATURES HAVE BEEN SLOW TO DROP WITH MOST READINGS
BEHIND THE FRONT STILL IN THE LOWER TO MID 60S AT THIS HOUR. GIVEN
AN EXPECTED SLOWER FRONTAL PASSAGE THROUGH THE AREA...HAVE RAISED
OVERNIGHT LOWS SEVERAL DEGREES AND MADE SOME ADJUSTMENTS TO HOURLY
TEMPERATURES AS WELL...WITH MOST LOCATIONS NOT EXPECTED TO SEE
TEMPERATURES FALL THROUGH DAYBREAK WHEN THE FRONT SWINGS THROUGH.

LAKE WINDS...WILL MAINTAIN LAKE WIND ADVY AS DEEP MIXING PROFILES
WILL BE CONDUCIVE TO PRODUCE AT LEAST 20 KT WINDS OVER THE LAKE
ALL NIGHT.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 AM THURSDAY MORNING THROUGH THURSDAY NIGHT/...
COLD FRONT AND ANY REMAINING PRECIP WILL PUSH OFFSHORE AROUND
DAYBREAK OR SHORTLY THEREAFTER. THUS...HAVE KEPT IN SLGT-LOW END
CHC POPS NEAR THE COAST IN THE MORNING THEN HAVE ALL AREAS DRY FOR
LATE MORNING THROUGH THE AFTN HOURS. SKIES WILL RAPIDLY CLEAR OUT
DURING THE DAY WHILE WESTERLY WINDS INCREASE FOR THE LATE MRNG
THROUGH THE AFTN HOURS. DEEP MIXING PROFILES PER MODEL SOUNDINGS
INDICATE WINDS IN TE 15-25 MPH RANGE WITH GUSTS UP TO 35 MPH. COLD
AIR ADVECTION IS NOT ALL THAT IMPRESSIVE BUT WILL HAVE MAX TEMPS
GENERALLY IN THE LOW- MID 60S.

THE MEAN UPPER LEVEL TROF AXIS WILL SWING THROUGH THE AREA THU
NIGHT...FOLLOWED BY DEEP NWLY FLOW. THIS WILL HELP DIMINISH THE
PRES GRADIENT AND ALLOW WIND SPEEDS TO GRADUALLY DIMINISH.
ALTHOUGH IDEAL RADIATIONAL COOLING CONDS WILL NOT BE REALIZED DUE
TO THE ELEVATED WINDS...DECENT COLD AIR ADVECTION COMBINED WITH
CLEAR SKIES WILL ALLOW MIN TEMPS TO DROP TO THE UPPER 20S AWAY
FROM THE COAST TO THE LOW-MID 30S NEAR THE SHORES.

LAKE WINDS...WILL MAINTAIN LAKE WIND ADVY AS POST FRONTAL
SUBSIDENCE WILL ALLOW FOR DEEP MIXING OF 30-35 KT 925MB TO REACH
THE LAKE SURFACE. WINDS SHOULD SUBSIDE LATE DAY AS THE UPPER LEVEL
TROUGH SHIFTS OFFSHORE AND THIS COINCIDES WITH CURRENTLY
ADVERTISED ENDING TIME OF LWA.

&&

.LONG TERM /FRIDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
A FAIRLY PROGRESSIVE PATTERN SEEMS QUITE LIKELY DURING
THE FRIDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY PERIOD. SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE WILL
BUILD INTO THE AREA FRIDAY AND FRIDAY NIGHT AS A BROAD WESTERN
ATLANTIC TROUGH LIFTS AWAY FROM THE AREA.

A STRONG UPPER LEVEL STORM SYSTEM WILL DROP INTO THE MISSISSIPPI
VALLEY THIS WEEKEND AND THEN LIFT OUT TO THE EAST AND NORTHEAST. 12Z
GFS AND NAM SOLUTIONS HAVE TRENDED SLOWER AND DEEPER WITH THIS
SYSTEM AND ARE ABOUT 12 HOURS SLOWER THAN THE 12Z ECMWF.
PRECIPITATION CHANCES ARE BETTER WITH THE SLOWER SOLUTION AS UPPER
LEVEL DYNAMICS ARE MORE IMPRESSIVE AND THE RESIDENCE TIME OVER THE
AREA WILL BE A LITTLE LONGER. HAVE TRENDED TOWARD THE SLOWER
SOLUTION OF THE GFS/NAM WHICH RESULTED IN LOWER PRECIPITATION
CHANCES SATURDAY NIGHT...ESPECIALLY DURING THE FIRST PART OF THE
NIGHT AND HIGHER CHANCES SUNDAY...ESPECIALLY DURING THE MORNING INTO
EARLY AFTERNOON. IF THE FASTER ECMWF SOLUTION IS CORRECT THEN POPS
SATURDAY NIGHT WILL LIKELY BE ABOUT RIGHT WITH POPS LIKELY BEING TOO
HIGH ON SUNDAY. IF THE SLOWER SOLUTION OF THE GFS/NAM IS CORRECT
THAN POPS ON SUNDAY AND ESPECIALLY SUNDAY AFTERNOON WILL NEED TO BE
RAISED. GFS AND ECMWF HAVE TRENDED JUST A BIT WARMER SO THAT
SUFFICIENT MOISTURE IS EAST OF THE AREA BY THE TIME THE ATMOSPHERE
COOLS ENOUGH TO SUPPORT SNOW.

CONFIDENCE IN THE MAGNITUDE AND TIMING OF THE SECOND SYSTEM EITHER
TUESDAY IF THE ECMWF IS RIGHT OR WEDNESDAY IF THE GFS IS RIGHT IS
NOT VERY HIGH. FOR NOW JUST KEPT SLIGHT CHANCE FOR POPS TUESDAY INTO
WEDNESDAY.

&&

.AVIATION /04Z THURSDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...
LINE OF CONVECTION IS ORGANIZING OFF TO THE WEST OF THE TERMINALS
THIS EVENING AND IS EXPECTED TO SWING THROUGH THE AIRPORTS
OVERNIGHT. HAVE INCLUDED TEMPO GROUPS AT BOTH TERMINALS FOR SOME
GUSTY WINDS AND IFR VSBY/S IN TSRA PRIOR TO COLD FRONTAL PASSAGE.
THE COLD FRONT IS EXPECTED TO SWING THROUGH ROUGHLY AROUND
DAYBREAK THURSDAY...WITH VFR CONDITIONS THEN EXPECTED THROUGH THE
REMAINDER OF THE TAF FORECAST PERIOD.

EXTENDED AVIATION OUTLOOK...HIGH PRES EXPECTED THU NIGHT-SAT TO
PRODUCE VFR CONDS. A COLD FRONT WILL PUSH THROUGH THE AREA SAT
NIGHT INTO SUN...POSSIBLY BRINGING MVFR CONDITIONS. HIGH PRES
RETURNS LATE SUN INTO MON TO AGAIN ALLOW VFR CONDS TO PREVAIL.

&&

.MARINE...
STRONG LOW LEVEL JET WILL CONTINUE TO INTENSIFY OVERNIGHT...AND THIS
IS EXPECTED TO CONTINUE TO INCREASE WINDS ACROSS THE AREA. ONGOING
HEADLINES LOOK IN GOOD SHAPE...SO ONLY SOME MINOR CHANGES FOR THE
EVENING COASTAL WATERS FORECAST UPDATE.

WINDS WILL GRADUALLY SETTLE DOWN LATE THU AND THU NIGHT AS THE
COLD FRONT PUSHES OFFSHORE AND FURTHER INTO THE ATLC...TO BE
REPLACED BY INCOMING HIGH PRES. THE FRONT SHOULD CLEAR THE COASTAL
WATERS BY MID-MORNING BUT MODEST COLD AIR ADVECTION MAY KEEP THE
GALES GOING INTO THE AFTN HOURS. ANOTHER SURGE IS POSSIBLE THU
NIGHT AS THE MAIN UPPER LEVEL SYSTEM PUSHES THROUGH AND A FEW
DISTURBANCES FORCE STRONGER WINDS TO THE SFC. AS HIGH PRES MAKES
INROADS TO THE WATERS LATE THU NIGHT INTO EARLY FRI MORNING...
WINDS SHOULD SETTLE DOWN BELOW GALE FORCE AND SOME OF THE SCA
HEADLINES MAY ALSO BE ABLE TO BE DROPPED.

EXTENDED MARINE...WITH HIGH PRESSURE BUILDING OVER THE AREA WINDS
AND SEAS WILL BE DECEASING ON FRIDAY. FRIDAY NIGHT AND SATURDAY
WILL FEATURE TRANQUIL CONDITIONS WITH SEAS AT OR BELOW 3 FEET.
INCREASING WINDS ASSOCIATED WITH THE SYSTEM LATE IN THE WEEKEND
WILL RESULT IN SOME INCREASE IN SEAS SATURDAY NIGHT AND SUNDAY. AS
THE AREA OF LOW PRESSURE MOVES AWAY FROM THE AREA...THE GFS IS
INDICATING FAIRLY STRONG NORTHERLY WINDS SUNDAY NIGHT AND INTO
MONDAY. THIS WILL RESULT IN A FAIRLY QUICK INCREASE IN SEAS THAT
COULD REACH UP TO 5 FEET WITHIN 20 NM OF THE COAST AND 7 TO
PERHAPS 8 FEET 30 TO 60 NM OFF THE GEORGIA COAST. AT THIS TIME IT
APPEARS THAT SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY CONDITIONS WILL BE REACHED FOR
MUCH OF THE COASTAL WATERS SUNDAY NIGHT AND MONDAY.
