AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE CHARLESTON SC
1036 PM EDT SAT MAR 28 2009

.SYNOPSIS...
A STRONG COLD FRONT WILL APPROACH FROM THE WEST AND MOVE OFFSHORE
LATE TONIGHT. HIGH PRESSURE WILL BUILD INTO THE AREA SUNDAY AND
PERSIST THROUGH EARLY TUESDAY. ANOTHER COLD FRONT WILL APPROACH
FROM THE WEST TUESDAY NIGHT AND PUSH THROUGH THE AREA EARLY
WEDNESDAY. THE FRONT WILL SETTLE SOUTH OF THE AREA THEN LIFT
NORTH AS A WARM FRONT LATE THURSDAY...FOLLOWED BY ANOTHER COLD
FRONT EARLY FRIDAY MORNING. HIGH PRESSURE LOOKS TO RETURN FOR
SATURDAY.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM SUNDAY MORNING/...
SURFACE BASED INSTABILITY HAS DECREASED ACROSS THE AREA THIS
HOUR...WHILE WIDESPREAD MODERATE RAIN AND EMBEDDED WEAK
THUNDERSTORMS STILL AFFECT A MAJORITY OF THE FORECAST AREA.
THERE REMAINS A SMALL POTENTIAL FOR ISOLATED STORMS TO PRODUCE
SMALL HAIL AND GUSTY WINDS FOR THE NEXT FEW HOURS...AS A RESULT OF
MID LEVEL LAPSE RATES AND SOME ELEVATED INSTABILITY. HOWEVER FEEL
THAT THE BEST SEVERE POTENTIAL HAS PASSED...AND FLOODING IS NOW
THE MAJOR CONCERN OVERNIGHT.

HAVE UPDATED RAIN CHANCES TO REFLECT TRENDS FOR THE OVERNIGHT AND
EARLY MORNING PERIOD. MAINTAINED CATEGORICAL POPS ABOVE 80
PERCENT...WITH LOWER PROBABILITIES OF THUNDER...FOR AREAS GENERALLY
EAST OF INTERSTATE 95 AND SOUTHEAST OF INTERSTATE 16. HAVE THEN
INDICATED A DECREASING TREND IN POPS FROM SOUTHWEST TO NORTHEAST
AFTER 01Z...AS DEEP LAYER MOISTURE SHIFTS OFFSHORE AHEAD OF THE
APPROACHING COLD FRONT CURRENTLY STRETCHING FROM CENTRAL TENNESSEE
THROUGH CENTRAL ALABAMA.

THE MAIN UPPER LOW WILL SWING INTO THE OHIO VALLEY
OVERNIGHT...WHILE THE COLD FRONT PUSHES THROUGH AROUND DAYBREAK.
BREEZY CONDITIONS WILL LIKELY DEVELOP DURING THE NEXT FEW HOURS AS
THE PRESSURE GRADIENT TIGHTENS AHEAD OF THE COLD FRONT. HAVE MADE
ADJUSTMENTS TO HOURLY TEMPERATURES AND DEWPOINTS TO REFLECT
COOLER CONDITIONS THAN INDICATED BY LATEST MODEL RUNS...HOWEVER
FEEL THAT OVERALL LOW TEMPERATURES WILL STILL RANGE FROM THE
UPPER 50S INLAND TO THE LOWER 60S NEAR THE COAST.

LAKE WINDS...A LAKE WIND ADVISORY WILL REMAIN IN EFFECT
OVERNIGHT...AS WINDS AROUND 20 KT DEVELOP IN ASSOCIATION WITH A
TIGHTENED PRESSURE GRADIENT AND INTENSIFYING LOW LEVEL WINDS AHEAD
OF AN APPROACHING COLD FRONT.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 AM SUNDAY MORNING THROUGH 6 PM SUNDAY/...
THE COLD FRONT SHOULD PUSH THROUGH THE AREA AROUND DAYBREAK SUNDAY.
EXPECT CLEARING AND DRYING...BUT QUITE BREEZY DAY...WITH GUSTS UP TO
AROUND 35 MPH DUE TO A TIGHT PRESSURE GRADIENT AND VERTICAL MIXING
OF STRONG LOW-LEVEL WINDS IN MODEST COLD AIR ADVECTION.

HIGH TEMPERATURES WILL BE IN THE LOWER 70S...WITH RAIN FREE
CONDITIONS ALL AREAS AFTER THE MORNING HOURS.

&&

.LONG TERM /SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY/...
BROAD BUT WEAK HIGH PRESSURE WILL SLIDE E ACROSS THE AREA SUN NIGHT
THROUGH TUE MORNING...MAKING FOR DRY AND COOLER CONDITIONS ACROSS
THE AREA. A WEAK COLD FRONT WILL APPROACH FROM THE W LATE MON INTO
EARLY TUE...HELPING SHIFT THE HIGH OFFSHORE. IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE
APPROACHING FRONT IS A DEEPENING LOW PRES CENTER OVER THE UPPER MISS
RIVER VALLEY...BEING USHERED E BY A DEEPENING AND TILTING UPPER
LEVEL TROUGH OVER THE UPPER CENTRAL CONUS. AS THE UPPER LEVEL
BECOMES FURTHER NEGATIVELY TILTED TUE NIGHT INTO WED MORNING...THIS
WILL SHUNT THE COLD FRONT QUICKLY TOWARD THE COAST BY LATE WED MORNING.
DEEP SW FLOW AHEAD OF THE FRONT ALONG WITH STRONG WIND FIELDS IN THE
MID AND UPPER LEVELS LOOK TO PRODUCE A FEW BANDS OF RAIN/TSTMS IN
THE PREFRONTAL ENVIRONMENT. THUS...HAVE INCREASED POPS TO HIGH END
CHC FOR TUE NIGHT INTO WED MORNING WITH THE PROGRESSION OF THIS
FRONT. THE FRONT WILL SETTLE S OF THE AREA BY MIDDAY WED WHILE HIGH
PRES RETURNS FROM THE SW...ALLOWING FOR MORE TRANQUIL CONDS FOR LATE
WED THROUGH MIDDAY THU.

ANOTHER UPPER LEVEL LOW PRESSURE WAVE LOOKS TO TAKE A SIMILAR TRACK
THROUGH THE CENTRAL PLAINS ON ITS WAY THROUGH THE GREAT LAKES WED
NIGHT THROUGH THU NIGHT...AND LOOKS TO PUSH ANOTHER COLD FRONT
THROUGH THE AREA THU NIGHT INTO FRI MORNING...FOLLOWED BY HIGH PRES
FOR THE START OF NEXT WEEKEND. LESS CONFIDENCE DUE TO MORE MODEL
DIVERGENCE THIS FAR OUT LEADS TO ONLY 20/30 POPS FOR THE END OF THE
WEEK.

TEMPS WILL HAVE LITTLE VARIATION THROUGH THE WEEK WITH THE RAPID
PROGRESSION OF LOW PRESSURE SYSTEMS THROUGH THE AREA. TEMPS
GENERALLY WILL REMAIN NEAR CLIMATOLOGICAL NORMS.

&&

.AVIATION /02Z SUNDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/...
HAVE INCLUDED A BRIEF PERIOD OF LLWS AT THE START OF THE 29/00Z
TAFS...AS THE KCHS RAOB INDICATED 31038KT WINDS AT 1 KFT WITH
RELATIVELY LIGHT SFC WINDS. BY 06Z...SFC WINDS WILL INCREASE FROM
THE SW WHILE UPPER LEVEL WINDS BACK MORE TO SW...REDUCING THE LLWS
INFLUENCE TO A MORE LOW LEVEL TURBULENCE EFFECT.

DEEP STRONG CONVECTION HAS PUSHED OFFSHORE BUT WITH THE COLD
FRONT STILL OVER ALABAMA AND DEEP MOISTURE IN PLACE ACROSS COASTAL
SC AND GA...WIDESPREAD MODERATE RAIN WITH OCCASIONAL LIGHTNING
STRIKES AND POCKETS OF HEAVY RAIN WILL CONTINUE ACROSS THE AREA
THROUGH 29/03Z. BY MIDNIGHT...THE RAIN SHOULD BE OFFSHORE BUT
DECOUPLING BETWEEN STRONG 1 KFT WINDS AND WEAKER SFC WINDS WILL
ALLOW FOR CIGS DROPPING TO LOW MVFR OR SOLID IFR LEVELS THROUGH
DAYBREAK. AS DRIER AIR MOVES INTO THE AREA BY DAYBREAK...THE LOW
CLOUDS WILL BREAK UP MAKING FOR VFR CONDS THROUGH THE DAY TMRW.

THE MAIN CONCERN FOR TMRW TURNS TO WINDS. THE FRONT WILL BE
OFFSHORE BY DAYBREAK...FOLLOWED BY STRONG SUBSIDENCE AND A DEEP
DRY NW FLOW. A STRONG PRESSURE GRADIENT WITH HIGH PRESSURE QUICKLY
COMING IN BEHIND THE FRONT WILL INCREASE SUSTAINED WINDS TO THE
15-20KT RANGE WITH GUSTS UP TO 30 KT. WINDS WILL THEN SETTLE DOWN
LATE TMRW EVENING.

EXTENDED AVIATION OUTLOOK...HIGH PRESSURE RETURNS SUN NIGHT
THROUGH EARLY TUE...ALLOWING VFR CONDITIONS TO PREVAIL. ANOTHER
COLD FRONT WILL MOVE THROUGH THE AREA WED...BRINGING POSSIBLY
MVFR/IFR CONDITIONS WITHIN SHOWERS/THUNDERSTORMS TUE NIGHT INTO
WED MORNING.

&&

.MARINE...
TONIGHT...ALTHOUGH WIND SPEEDS AND DIRECTIONS ARE CURRENTLY A BIT
VARIABLE...EXPECT WINDS TO VEER SOLID SW AND BEGIN TO SURGE AS A
COLD FRONT APPROACHES FROM THE WEST. EXPECT SOLID SCA CONDS FOR
ALL WATERS...WITH GALE FORCE WINDS A GOOD BET ACROSS THE WARMER GA
WATERS BEYOND 40 NM FROM SHORE. MAY NEED TO EVENTUALLY EXTEND THE
SCA FOR THE GA NEARSHORE WATERS A BIT LONGER...BUT WILL RE-EVALUATE
THIS LATER.

SHOWERS WITH EMBEDDED WEAK THUNDERSTORMS WILL CONTINUE TO MOVE
OVER THE COASTAL WATERS OVERNIGHT INTO SUNDAY MORNING.

SUNDAY...SLOWLY IMPROVING CONDITIONS SUN BEHIND THE COLD FRONT...WITH
THE SCA COMING DOWN ACROSS THE SRN SC NEARSHORE WATERS BY AFTERNOON. HAVE
EXTENDED THE SCA FOR CHS HARBOR THROUGH THE AFTERNOON AS GREAT
MIXING IS EXPECTED THROUGH THE DAY.

SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY...HIGH PRESSURE WILL MOVE THROUGH
THE WATERS SUN NIGHT THROUGH TUE MORNING...MAKING FOR FAIRLY
BENIGN CONDITIONS. ANOTHER COLD FRONT WILL APPROACH THE WATERS
FROM THE W TUE AND PUSH THROUGH THE MARINE AREA TUE NIGHT INTO WED
MORNING WHICH WILL LEAD TO DETERIORATING CONDITIONS ACROSS TE
WATERS...INCLUDING LIKELY SCA HEADLINES AND POSSIBLE GALE
HEADLINES DEPENDING ON THE STRENGTH OF THE SYSTEM. THIS FRONT WILL
PUSH OFFSHORE WED...MAKING FOR A RETURN OF HIGH PRES LATE WED INTO
THU AND MORE BENIGN CONDITIONS.
