AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE CHARLESTON SC
612 PM EDT SUN MAY 10 2009

.SYNOPSIS...
A STATIONARY FRONT WILL REMAIN OVER THE REGION TONIGHT THROUGH
EARLY MON...THEN WILL PUSH S OF THE AREA AS A COLD FRONT LATE MON
THROUGH TUE AS HIGH PRES BUILDS TO THE N. ATLC HIGH PRES WILL
PERSIST WED THROUGH FRI. ANOTHER COLD FRONT WILL MOVE IN NEXT
WEEKEND.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM MONDAY MORNING/...
SUNDAY EVENING...STRONG TO SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS CONTINUED TO
DEVELOP ALONG THE STATIONARY FRONT...PRIMARILY ACROSS
INLAND/NORTHERN COUNTIES. LOWER DEWPOINTS/WEAKER INSTABILITY HAD
GREATLY LIMITED THUNDERSTORM DEVELOPMENT ACROSS SE GA.

THE 18Z KCHS SOUNDING REVEALED AN ENVIRONMENT FAVORABLE FOR PULSE
SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS WITH LARGE HAIL/DAMAGING WINDS AND FOR
LOCALLY HEAVY RAIN. SPECIFICALLY... THE OBSERVATION REVEALED
SBCAPES 3000 J/KG AND PWATS NEAR 1.9 INCHES...WHILE 0-6 KM BULK
SHEAR REMAINED UNDER 20 KNOTS. MEANWHILE... THE KCHS RADAR
DEPICTED NUMEROUS CONVECTIVE BOUNDARIES ACROSS THE REGION.
THUNDERSTORMS WILL CONTINUE TO FIRE ALONG/S OF THE STATIONARY
FRONT AND ALONG OUTFLOW BOUNDARIES THIS EVENING. DIURNAL/
PRECIPITATION INDUCED STABILIZATION SHOULD EVENTUALLY DIMINISH
THUNDERSTORM INTENSITY/COVERAGE...BUT THIS PROCESS MAY TAKE MUCH
OF THE EVENING.

MEANWHILE...A SEVERE MCS WAS ADVANCING THROUGH WESTERN GA
AND WILL PUSH INTO WESTERN COUNTIES IN SOME FORM THIS EVENING.
DIURNAL TRENDS SHOULD FAVOR A WEAKENING TREND BUT WILL CONTINUE
TO MONITOR. ADDITIONAL CLUSTERS OF SHOWERS/THUNDERSTORMS WILL
CONTINUE TO TRACK EAST ALONG THE STATIONARY FRONT
OVERNIGHT...JUSTIFYING AT LEAST CHANCE POPS ACROSS NORTHERN/WESTERN
COUNTIES OF THE FORECAST AREA OVERNIGHT. OVERNIGHT THUNDERSTORMS
SHOULD REMAIN BELOW SEVERE LIMITS...BUT HIGH PWATS POOLED NEAR THE
BOUNDARY AND THE POTENTIAL FOR ADDITIONAL ECHO TRAINING MAY
PRODUCE LOCALLY EXCESSIVE RAINFALL. IF JUSTIFIED BY EVENING
TRENDS...HIGHER POPS MAY YET BE REQUIRED FOR NORTHERN COUNTIES
OVERNIGHT.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 AM MONDAY MORNING THROUGH MONDAY NIGHT/...
MONDAY WILL START WITH A STATIONARY FRONT OVER OR CLOSE TO
NORTHERN COUNTIES OF THE FORECAST AREA. GIVEN THIS NORTHERN
POSITION...RAISED HIGH TEMPERATURES SIGNIFICANTLY MOST
AREAS...ESPECIALLY ACROSS THE NORTHERN 1/2 OF THE FORECAST AREA.
HIGH PRESSURE WILL BUILD NORTH OF THE REGION...AND MONDAY
AFTERNOON THIS HIGH WILL PUSH THE BOUNDARY SOUTH AS A COLD FRONT.
THIS SHOULD SUPPORT AT LEAST SCATTERED SHOWERS/THUNDERSTORMS
ACROSS THE REGION. ISOLATED SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ARE
POSSIBLE...ESPECIALLY AS STRONGER MID LEVEL WINDS/BULK SHEAR
ADVANCE TOWARD THE SOUTH AND IF HIGHER DEWPOINTS STRONG
INSTABILITY CAN POOL NEAR THE ADVANCING COLD FRONT. HOWEVER...12Z
GUIDANCE SUGGESTS THAT PREFRONTAL DEWPOINTS MAY FALL THROUGH THE
60S DURING THE TIME OF MAX HEATING...LIMITING SBCAPES TO LESS THAN
2000 J/KG AND PERHAPS LIMITING THE SCOPE OF THE SEVERE POTENTIAL.

MONDAY NIGHT...THE COLD FRONT WILL CONTINUE TO PRESS SOUTH...WITH
POPS GRADUALLY DECREASING FROM N/NW TO S/SE....LIMITED TO SLIGHT
CHANCE S/E LATE. IN THE WAKE OF THE FRONT...COOLER/DRIER AIR WILL
SPREAD INTO THE REGION...AND TEMPERATES WILL FALL INTO THE 50S AT
MANY LOCATIONS.

&&

.LONG TERM /TUESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/...
HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS IN BEHIND A COLD FRONT WHICH WILL BE PLACED
JUST SOUTH OF THE AREA TUESDAY. HAVE MAINTAINED SLIGHT CHANCE POPS
IN THE SOUTHERN AREAS DUE TO THE PLACEMENT OF THE FRONT AND
INSTABILITY PARAMETERS LOOK DECENT. GFS INDICATES A SERIES OF
SHORTWAVES COMING INTO THE AREA WITH AT LEAST SLIGHT CHANCE OF
ASSOCIATED CONVECTION IN THE AFTERNOON THROUGH THE END OF THE WEEK.
HOWEVER...INSTABILITY LOOKS TO BE SOMEWHAT LESS WITH DRIER AIR
PUSHING INTO THE AREA ASSOCIATED WITH THE HIGH PRESSURE.

TEMPERATURES WILL BE SLIGHTLY BELOW NORMAL THROUGH WEDNESDAY BUT
WILL BEGIN WARMING UP INTO THE LOW TO MID 80S BY MID TO LATE WEEK.

&&

.AVIATION /22Z SUNDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/...
THUNDERSTORM POTENTIAL WILL DOMINATE ATTENTION THROUGH THE 18Z
TAF PERIOD. THUNDERSTORMS WILL PUSH THROUGH KCHS THIS
AFTERNOON...PRODUCING PERIODS OF MVFR OR LOWER CONDITIONS AND
OTHER ASSOCIATED HAZARDS. THUNDERSTORMS COULD ALSO DEVELOP FARTHER
SOUTH ALONG THE SEA BREEZE TOWARD KSAV...STARTED THAT TERMINAL
WITH CBS UNTIL 0Z...AND WILL UPDATE AS NEEDED. TONIGHT...12Z
GUIDANCE SUGGESTS A LULL IN CONVECTIVE ACTIVITY.
HOWEVER...UPSTREAM TRENDS SUGGEST THAT A SHORTWAVE WILL TRAVERSE
THE STATIONARY FRONT OVERNIGHT...PERHAPS ENHANCING SHOWERS/
THUNDERSTORMS...ESPECIALLY IN THE KCHS VICINITY. DUE TO
UNCERTAINTY...DID NOT INCLUDE ANY CBS OR MENTION OF PRECIP
OVERNIGHT...BUT LATER TAFS MAY ADDRESS THIS ISSUE. ALSO...WITH LOW
LEVEL MOISTURE POOLED NEAR THE STATIONARY FRONT...STRATUS/FOG
COULD DEVELOP OVERNIGHT...ESPECIALLY WHERE RAIN FALLS...AND MVFR
OR LOWER CONDITIONS MAY DEVELOP LATE INTO MONDAY MORNING.
AGAIN...ODDS FOR SUB-VFR CONDITIONS AT SPECIFIC TERMINALS REMAINS
TOO LOW TO JUSTIFY A MENTION WITHIN 18Z TAFS OVERNIGHT.
MONDAY...THE MORNING STATIONARY FRONT WILL ATTEMPT TO PUSH TOWARD
THE SOUTH AS A COLD FRONT BY AFTERNOON...LIKELY INITIATING
ADDITIONAL SHOWERS/THUNDERSTORMS. MENTIONED CBS IN BOTH TAFS
STARTING AT 14-15Z.

EXTENDED AVIATION OUTLOOK...MVFR/BRIEF IFR CONDITIONS POSSIBLE
INTO MON NIGHT IN SCATTERED SHOWERS AND TSTMS. THEN...VFR TUE
THROUGH THU.

&&

.MARINE...
WITH A SURFACE FRONT STALLED OVER NORTHERN WATERS AND WITH
CONVECTIVE OUTFLOW BOUNDARIES ACROSS THE AREA...A COMPLEX BUT WEAK
PRESSURE PATTERN WILL SUPPORT VARIABLE WINDS TONIGHT...REMAINING
LESS THAN 15 KNOTS OUTSIDE THUNDERSTORMS. THIS REGIME WILL PERSIST
MONDAY. THEN...HIGH PRESSURE WILL BUILD TO THE NORTH AND WILL PUSH
THE SYNOPTIC BOUNDARY SOUTH AS A COLD FRONT LATE MONDAY AND MONDAY
NIGHT. IN THE WAKE OF COLD FROPA...NE WINDS WILL SURGE INTO THE
COASTAL WATERS...AND MARGINAL SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY CONDITIONS
COULD DEVELOP OUTSIDE CHARLESTON HARBOR...ESPECIALLY ON GA COASTAL
WATERS BEYOND 20 NM AFTER MIDNIGHT.

A NORTHEAST SURGE WILL INCREASE WINDS TO AROUND 15 TO 20 KNOTS
THROUGH WEDNESDAY NIGHT BEFORE DIMINISHING TO AROUND 10 KNOTS AND
LASTING THROUGH THE END OF THE WEEK. ALONG THE COAST WILL FEEL THE
EFFECTS OF THE AFTERNOON SEABREEZE AS THERE WILL BE A SURGE OF 10 TO
15 KNOTS AT THE BEACHES. SEAS WILL BUILD TO 6 TO 7 FEET TUESDAY
NIGHT INTO WEDNESDAY BEFORE SUBSIDING TO 2 TO 4 FEET THROUGH THE END
OF THE WEEK.
