AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE CHARLESTON SC
314 PM EST MON MAR 2 2009

.SYNOPSIS...
HIGH PRESSURE WILL BUILD SOUTHEAST OVER THE REGION TUESDAY INTO
WEDNESDAY...WHILE AN UPPER RIDGE MOVES OVER THE AREA LATE IN THE
WEEK INTO THE WEEKEND.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...
BOTH THE SFC AND UPPER LEVEL AREA OF LOW PRES ARE NOW WELL NE OF
THE REGION WHILE COLD HIGH PRES BEGINS TO MAKE INROADS TO THE SE
STATES. COLD AIR MIDLVL CUMULUS CLOUDS THAT FORMED THIS AFTN WILL
GRADUALLY DISSIPATE...LEADING TO CLEARING SKIES OVERNIGHT. WITH
COLD AIR ADVECTION ONGOING...TEMPS LOOK TO DROP TO THE LOW-MID 20S
AWAY FROM THE COAST AND TO AROUND 30 CLOSER TO THE SHORES. A FEW
ISOLD LOCATIONS FAR INLAND MAY REACH THE UPPER TEENS. THE ONLY
CONCERN FOR TONIGHT WILL BE WIND CHILLS IN THE LOW-MID TEENS IN
WRN AND NRN PORTIONS OF THE CWFA WHICH WILL SEE THE MOST CLEARING
/WRN SECTIONS/ AND THE STRONGEST WINDS /NRN SECTIONS/. ALTHOUGH
WINDS WILL BE ON A DIMINISHING TREND...SPEEDS LOOK TO REMAIN
ELEVATED ENOUGH TO CREATE BITTERLY COLD WIND CHILLS TONIGHT. WILL
HIGHLIGHT THIS IN THE HAZARDOUS WX OUTLOOK FOR TONIGHT.

LAKE WINDS...WIND SPEEDS AT BOTH PINEVILLE AND THE SHORT STAY
SITES HAVE DIMINISHED TO AROUND 15 MPH AND WILL CONTINUE TO DROP
THROUGH TONIGHT. THEREFORE...HAVE CANCELLED THE LAKE WIND ADVY FOR
LAKE MOULTRIE.

&&

.SHORT TERM /TUESDAY THROUGH TUESDAY NIGHT/...
DESPITE MOSTLY CLEAR SKIES TUE...DEEP NWLY FLOW WITHIN STRONG COLD
AIR ADVECTION WILL KEEP BELOW NORMAL TEMPS GOING. ALTHOUGH STRONG
SUBSIDENCE IS EXPECTED AS HIGH PRES MOVES OVER THE AREA FROM THE
NW...THE WANING COLD AIR ADVECTION WILL KEEP MAX TEMPS IN THE
UPPER 40S TO LOWER 50S WHICH IS IN LINE WITH MOST MODEL GUIDANCE.

THE AREA OF HIGH PRES WILL CONTINUE TO SLIDE SE THROUGH THE AREA
TUE NIGHT...KEEPING CLEAR SKIES IN PLACE FOR TUE NIGHT. THIS WILL
TRANSLATE TO BETTER RADIATIONAL COOLING CONDITIONS AND ANOTHER
COLD NIGHT. MIN TEMPS WILL GENERALLY FALL TO THE LOW-MID 20S AWAY
FROM THE COAST AND CLOSER TO 30 NEAR THE SHORES.

&&

.LONG TERM /WEDNESDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...
SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE WILL CONTINUE TO SLIP SOUTHEAST OVER THE MID
ATLANTIC STATES AND CAROLINAS ON WEDNESDAY...WHILE THE UPPER
TROUGH AXIS SHIFTS FURTHER INTO THE ATLANTIC. COOL NORTHEAST FLOW
ON WEDNESDAY WILL BECOME MORE ONSHORE LATE IN THE DAY...
MAINTAINING BELOW NORMAL HIGH TEMPERATURES IN THE MID TO UPPER
50S. THIS INCREASINGLY ONSHORE FLOW WILL HELP TO MODERATE
NIGHTTIME CONDITIONS ALONG THE COAST AND CREATE A WELL-DEFINED LOW
TEMPERATURE GRADIENT ACROSS THE AREA WEDNESDAY NIGHT...RANGING
FROM THE LOWER 30S INLAND TO THE LOWER 40S NEAR THE COAST.

THE SURFACE HIGH WILL PROGRESS OFF THE COAST THURSDAY...WITH THE
FORECAST AREA FALLING WITHIN A MORE SOUTHERLY FLOW COMPONENT.
UPPER LEVEL RIDGING OVER THE WESTERN GULF OF MEXICO WILL ALSO
SHIFT EAST DURING THIS TIME PERIOD...FURTHER ENHANCING A WARMING
TREND THURSDAY INTO THE WEEKEND. HIGH TEMPERATURES ON THURSDAY
WILL REACH THE UPPER 60S TO LOWER 70S...WARMING INTO THE MID 70S
BY FRIDAY...AND THEN RISING INTO THE MID TO UPPER 70S OVER THE
WEEKEND.

WEAK FRONTS DURING THE EXTENDED PERIOD WILL LIKELY BE SHUNTED TO
THE NORTH BY THE STRONG UPPER RIDGE. THE WETTER ECMWF SOLUTION
INDICATES THE MOST ROBUST FRONT WILL APPROACH EARLY SUNDAY...BUT
KEEPS MOISTURE LIMITED WITH THE SYSTEM. 12Z GFS SOLUTION KEEPS
THIS FEATURE PINNED MUCH FURTHER TO THE WEST. HAVE THUS MAINTAINED
RAIN FREE WEATHER THROUGH THE EXTENDED PERIOD AT THIS
POINT...WITH POPS AT OR BELOW 10 PERCENT INTO THE WEEKEND.

&&

.AVIATION /20Z MONDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/...
VFR CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED TO CONTINUE FOR BOTH KCHS AND KSAV
THROUGH THE 18Z TAF PERIOD. VISIBLE SATELLITE CONTINUES TO SHOW
PLENTY OF CLOUD COVERAGE ACROSS THE AREA THIS AFTERNOON IN
ASSOCIATION WITH A LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM TO THE NORTHEAST. SOME OBS
JUST WEST OF KCHS CONTINUE TO INDICATE SOME MVFR CEILING.
THEREFORE CAN/T EXCLUDE THE POSSIBILITY OF SOME BRIEF PERIODS OF
BROKEN LOWER CEILINGS ACROSS THE CHARLESTON AREA THIS
AFTERNOON...YET DID NOT MENTION THIS IN THE TAFS SINCE ANY MVFR
CONDITIONS WILL REMAIN MARGINAL AROUND 3K FEET. AS THE LOW PULLS
AWAY FROM THE REGION...CLOUD COVERAGE WILL CONTINUE TO DECREASE
WITH MAINLY CLEAR SKIES EXPECTED THIS EVENING. WINDS ARE EXPECTED
TO REMAIN NORTHERLY 10 KNOTS OR LESS INTO TUESDAY AFTERNOON AS
HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS INTO THE REGION.

EXTENDED AVIATION OUTLOOK...VFR CONDITIONS WILL PREVAIL.

&&

.MARINE...
WINDS ARE CONTINUING THEIR DOWNWARD TREND THIS AFTN INTO THIS EVE
AS THE POTENT COMPLEX STORM SYSTEM PULLS AWAY TO THE NE. ALL
WATERS WILL HAVE CONDITIONS BELOW SCA LEVELS THROUGH THE OVERNIGHT HOURS.

TOWARDS DAYBREAK...A LINGERING TROUGH AXIS IN THE WAKE OF THE
SYSTEM WILL PUSH THROUGH AND MAKE FOR SOME SURGING OF WIND SPEEDS
FROM MID MORNING THROUGH LATE TMRW AFTERNOON ACROSS ALL THE
WATERS. THIS WILL MAKE FOR SLIGHTLY ELEVATED CONDITIONS OVER THIS
EVENING AND SUCH THAT SCA CONDITIONS LOOK LIKELY FOR THE OUTER GA
WATERS STARTING AROUND DAYBREAK TMRW. THUS...HAVE OPTED TO HAVE
SCA HEADLINES FOR AMZ374 FOR MUCH OF THE DAY TMRW WHILE THE
REMAINDER OF THE MARINE ZONES REMAIN BELOW HEADLINE CRITERIA.

AS HIGH PRESSURE CONTINUES TO SLIDE IN FROM THE NW...CENTERING
ITSELF OVER THE CHS MARINE AREA BY TMRW EVENING...CONDITIONS WILL
IMPROVE SIGNIFICANTLY TMRW NIGHT ALLOWING ALL ZONES TO AGAIN DROP
BELOW SCA LEVELS.

SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE WILL SHIFT SOUTHEAST WEDNESDAY...BEFORE
SLIPPING OFF THE COAST AND INTO THE ATLANTIC THURSDAY THROUGH THE
WEEKEND. NORTH WINDS EARLY WEDNESDAY WILL THUS BECOME MORE ONSHORE
LATE IN THE DAY. WITH THE COASTAL WATERS ON THE WESTERN PERIPHERY
OF THE SURFACE HIGH THURSDAY...WINDS WILL CONTINUE TO VEER TO THE
SOUTH THURSDAY AFTERNOON. WARM TEMPERATURES OVER LAND SUGGEST
THAT SEABREEZE FORMATION IS POSSIBLE DURING THE AFTERNOON HOURS LATE
IN THE WEEK. A TYPICAL DIURNAL PATTERN OF SOUTHERLY WINDS DURING
THE DAY...BACKING TO SOUTHWEST OVERNIGHT HAS BEEN DEPICTED. WITH
NO FRONTAL PASSAGE EXPECTED...WINDS AND SEAS WILL REMAIN BELOW
ADVISORY CRITERIA THROUGH THE WEEK.

&&

.CHS WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
GA...NONE.
SC...NONE.
MARINE...SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY FROM 5 AM TO 5 PM EST TUESDAY FOR AMZ374.
