AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE CHARLESTON SC
508 AM EST SUN MAR 1 2009

.SYNOPSIS...
COMPLEX LOW PRESSURE WILL IMPACT THE REGION THROUGH MON. HIGH
PRESSURE WILL BUILD IN TUE.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 PM THIS EVENING/...
FORECAST THINKING HAS CHANGED LITTLE SINCE 12 HRS AGO. POWERFUL
UPPER LOW IS HARD TO MISS ON WATER VAPOR IMAGERY BOTTOMING OUT
OVER MS/AL WITH STRONG DEFORMATION ON THE NW SIDE. POSITIVE
VORTICITY ADVECTION ON THE EASTERN SIDE HAS ALLOWED A SURFACE LOW
TO STRENGTHEN AS IT CROSSES THE CENTRAL SAVANNAH RIVER AREA. TIGHT
LOW-LEVEL BAROCLINIC ZONE WILL MAINTAIN STRONG OMEGA THROUGH EARLY
THIS AFTERNOON OVER MUCH OF THE AREA. ATLANTIC MOISTURE FEED WILL
KEEP LOW-LEVEL DEWPOINTS IN THE UPPER 50S TO AROUND 60.
CATEGORICAL POPS CONTINUE THROUGH EARLY AFTERNOON WITH POTENTIAL
FOR SEVERE WEATHER THROUGH MID-MORNING.

THIS AFTERNOON...SURFACE TEMPERATURES SHOULD FALL ACROSS THE
REGION AS STRONG COLD ADVECTION GETS UNDERWAY. MEANWHILE...
GUIDANCE SUGGESTS THAT DEEP WRAP AROUND MOISTURE WILL ROTATE
THROUGH INLAND COUNTIES DURING THE 18Z-00Z TIME FRAME. TRADITIONAL
THICKNESS FORECASTS...INCLUDING 1000-850 MB THICKNESS...SUGGEST
THAT THE ENVIRONMENT WILL BECOME COLD ENOUGH FOR ALL SNOW MOST
AREAS DURING THE AFTERNOON. HOWEVER...GFS/NAM MODEL SOUNDINGS
SUGGEST THAT FREEZING LEVELS WILL REMAIN TOO HIGH...AT LEAST 2 KFT
AGL...TO SUPPORT ANY SNOW. ACROSS FAR INLAND SC/GA ZONES...THE
COMBINATION OF DEEP WRAP AROUND MOISTURE...COLD ADVECTION AND DEEP
LAYER ASCENT/DYNAMIC COOLING COULD SUPPORT SOME WET SNOW DURING
THE AFTERNOON...A POTENTIAL SUFFICIENT TO JUSTIFY A MENTION OF A
CHANCE OF SNOW...WITH LITTLE/NO ACCUMULATION...TO ACCOMPANY
CATEGORICAL POPS FOR RAIN SHOWERS DURING THE AFTERNOON. CONFIDENCE
IS STILL TOO LOW THAT MORE THAN HALF AN INCH WOULD ACCUMULATE DUE
TO SUCH WARM GROUND TEMPS...THUS NO WINTER HEADLINES ARE JUSTIFIED
AT THIS TIME.

LAKE WINDS...WE HAVE ISSUED A LAKE WIND ADVISORY FROM LATE THIS
AFTERNOON THROUGH MON. DANGEROUS CONDITIONS MAY BRIEFLY DEVELOP
IN THE WAKE OF THE SURFACE LOW TO THE N THIS EVENING. WAVES WILL
BUILD ALONG THE S-SE SIDE OF THE LAKE TODAY.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 PM THIS EVENING THROUGH 6 PM MONDAY/...PRIMARY
SURFACE LOW WILL BE OFF THE NC OUTER BANKS BY 00Z WITH WEAK
SECONDARY LOW POSSIBLY OVER BULLS BAY WHILE THE POTENT UPPER LOW
SHIFTS DIRECTLY ACROSS SOUTHERN SC. CONSIDERABLE WRAP-AROUND
MOISTURE ALONG A DEFORMATION AXIS SHOULD SUPPORT SOME
PRECIPITATION ACROSS THE WESTERN HALF OF THE AREA THROUGH ABOUT
10Z. SURFACE WET BULBS SHOULD DROP INTO THE LOWER 30S DURING THE
EARLY EVENING HOURS AND MODEL SOUNDINGS SHOW CRITICAL THICKNESSES
SUB-FREEZING DURING THE OVERNIGHT. THE POTENTIAL LIMITING FACTORS
FOR A DECENT SNOW EVENT ARE A LACK OF MOISTURE IN THE CRITICAL
DENDRITIC GROWTH ZONE AROUND -10C AND OVERALL LOW QPF EXPECTED.

BASED ON OUR LATEST QPF FORECAST AND AN APPROX 8 TO 1 SNOW TO
LIQUID RATIO...WE ARE THINKING AN INLAND TIER OF COUNTIES COULD
SEE UP TO HALF AN INCH OF SNOW ACCUMULATION BY LATE TONIGHT. THERE
IS ALWAYS A CHANCE THAT A BANDING FEATURE WILL SETUP AND ENHANCE
SNOW RATES ENOUGH TO ALLOW ISOLATED SPOTS TO PICK UP MORE THAN
THAT. AT THIS POINT...CONFIDENCE IN AN INCH OR MORE OF
ACCUMULATION IN ANY GIVEN LOCATION IS TOO LOW TO WARRANT ISSUANCE
OF ANY WINTER WEATHER ADVISORIES.

STRONG COLD...DRY ADVECTION ON MONDAY WILL SLOWLY CLEAR SKIES FROM
THE WEST AND KEEP HIGH TEMPS IN THE 40S.

&&

.LONG TERM /MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY/...
HIGH PRES WILL BE THE PREDOMINANT WX FEATURE THROUGH THE
REMAINDER OF THE WEEK AS IT SLOWLY MOVES E THROUGH THE SE STATES
AND SETTLES IN THE WRN ATLC. THERE LOOKS TO BE A FEW STREAKS OF
MOISTURE IN THE UPPER LEVELS TUE-WED THAT WILL MAKE FOR A MORE
PESSIMISTIC CLOUD COVER FCST BUT THE LACK OF DEEP MOISTURE AND
LIFTING MECHANISMS WILL MAKE FOR A DRY FCST THROUGHOUT. TEMPS WILL
GRADUALLY WARM BACK TO NEAR AND EVEN ABOVE NORMAL LEVELS BY THE
END OF THE WEEK.

&&

.AVIATION /09Z SUNDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/...
CONDITIONS WILL DETERIORATE RATHER QUICKLY EARLY THIS MORNING WITH
A SURFACE LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM MOVING TOWARD THE COAST FROM THE
NORTHWEST. RAIN SHOWERS WITH EMBEDDED TSTMS WILL INCREASE IN
COVERAGE AND INTENSITY THROUGH MID-MORNING. MVFR TO IFR CEILINGS
AND VSBYS WILL DOMINATE THROUGH MUCH OF THE NEXT 24 HRS. INCLUDED
A TEMPO WITH SOME HEAVY RAIN AND 2SM VSBY AT CHS DURING THE MID-
MORNING HOURS. MUCH OF THE MODEL GUIDANCE CONTINUES TO INDICATE A
STRONG AREA OF DEEP FORCING WILL SHIFT THROUGH THE CHS AREA AHEAD
OF THE MAIN LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM DURING THAT TIME. WINDS WILL SWING
AROUND TO WEST AND NORTHWEST DURING THE EARLY AFTERNOON AS MUCH
COOLER AIR SHIFTS IN. GUSTY CONDITIONS ANTICIPATED THROUGH TONIGHT
WITH THE STRONG COLD AIR MOVING IN.

EXTENDED AVIATION OUTLOOK...GUSTY NORTH WINDS EXPECTED TO CONTINUE
LATE TONIGHT INTO MON. AT THIS TIME WE ARE NOT EXPECTING
ACCUMULATING SNOWFALL AT EITHER AIRPORT TONIGHT INTO MON MORNING.
VFR CONDITIONS RETURN MON AND LAST THROUGH MIDWEEK AS HIGH
PRESSURE MOVES IN FROM THE NW.

&&

.MARINE...
THERE WERE MANY SIGNALS IN THE MODELS THAT SUGGEST A POTENT INITIAL
SURGE OF WIND WILL RACE OFF THE GEORGIA COAST LATER THIS MORNING.
THIS IS PORTRAYED BY THE SOUNDING PROFILE FROM THE WRF MODEL FOR
SSI JUST BEFORE NOON WITH 48 KT OF WIND AT 925 MB AND A DRYING LAYER
ASSOCIATED WITH THE DRY SLOT. WHAT HAPPENS AFTER FOR PORTIONS OF OUR
SOUTH CAROLINA WATERS IS STILL QUESTIONABLE CLOSER TO THE CHARLESTON
COUNTY COAST GIVEN THE ROCKING FORM OF THE SURFACE BOUNDARY. WE FELT
COMFORTABLE ISSUING GALE WARNING FOR ALL OUR WATERS FOR SURGING 30-35
KT OR GREATER AT SOME POINT DURING THIS COMPLEX CYCLOGENESIS AND
PASSAGE OF THE POWERFUL UPPER LEVEL DISTURBANCE.

IN THE CHARLESTON HARBOR...WE HAVE A SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY THROUGH
MON MORNING BUT WOULD NOT BE SURPRISED TO SEE SOME KIND OF GRAVITY
WAVE FEATURE OR LOCALIZED KINKING IN THE SURFACE PRES PATTERN CREATE
A BRIEF PERIOD OF GALE FORCE GUSTS.

WE BELIEVE WAVEWATCH IS A BIT TOO LOW AFTER TONIGHT INTO MON NIGHT
GIVEN THE STRONG THERMAL GRADIENTS. FLOW TRAJECTORIES FAVOR SEAS
BELOW 5-6 FT ADJACENT TO THE LAND/SEA INTERFACE WITH THIS EVENT...
BUT MARINERS SHOULD BE ALERT FOR THE POTENTIAL FOR AT LEAST ONE
DANGEROUS SURGE OF SW TO W WINDS BEHIND THE FINAL SQUALL LINE.

WE RAIN GALES UNTIL MID MORNING MON...THEY WILL PROBABLY COME DOWN
A LITTLE SOONER BUT GUSTY WINDS IN COLD AIR ADVECTION REGIME.

NO CHANGES TO A QUIETER MID TO LATE WEEK PATTERN AFTER SOME WEAK
TO MODERATE SURGES TUE MORNING.
