AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE CHARLESTON SC
647 AM EST FRI JAN 7 2011

.SYNOPSIS...
A COLD FRONT WILL MOVE THROUGH THE AREA TONIGHT...WITH HIGH
PRESSURE BUILDING FROM THE NW INTO SUNDAY. A COMPLEX STORM SYSTEM
WILL IMPACT THE AREA AS IT MOVES OUT OF THE EASTERN GULF AND UP
THE SE COAST SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY. HIGH PRESSURE WILL
BUILD BACK INTO THE REGION DURING MID TO LATE NEXT WEEK.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 PM THIS EVENING/...
AT THE SFC...THE CHS CWFA REMAINS IN A TRANSITION ZONE BETWEEN
HIGH PRESSURE TO THE S WITH AN AREA OF LOW PRESSURE APPROACHING
FROM THE NW. ALOFT...A WELL-DEFINED TROUGH AXIS HAS PUSHED WELL
OFFSHORE... ALLOWING A DEFINITIVE NW UPPER LEVEL FLOW TO PREVAIL.
THIS WILL RESULT IN A DRIER AIRMASS TO MOVE INTO THE
AREA...PARTICULARLY AT THE SFC DUE TO DOWNSLOPING. HOWEVER...MODEL
TIME HEIGHTS INDICATE THAT MID AND UPPER LEVEL MOISTURE WILL
ROTATE AROUND THE BASE OF THE LONGWAVE TROUGH SITTING OVER THE ERN
CONUS. THIS MAY BRING IN ADDITIONAL CLOUD COVER FOR MAINLY THE NRN
HALF OF THE CHS CWFA AS THE DAY PROGRESSES ALTHOUGH NO PRECIP IS
EXPECTED. THESE CLOUDS MAY INHIBIT WARMING SLIGHTLY FOR COLLETON
COUNTY AND POINTS N...KEEPING MAX TEMPS IN THE MID 50S. GOING
S...WHERE CLOUD COVER IS EXPECTED TO BE LESS...WILL LOOK FOR HIGHS
IN THE UPR 50S TO ARND 60.

GUSTY WEST AND SW BREEZES WILL DEVELOP ACROSS THE FORECAST AREA
TODAY...AS MIXING HEIGHTS CLIMB AND TAP INTO THE 20-30 KT LOW
LEVEL JET THAT IMPACTS THE AREA. WHILE THIS IS BELOW ANY WIND
ADVISORY CRITERIA...WE WILL ISSUE A SPECIAL WEATHER STATEMENT TO
ADDRESS HIGHER WINDS ACROSS THE AREA BRIDGES FOR THIS
AFTERNOON...WITH GUSTS OF 30-35 MPH EXPECTED.

LAKE WINDS...WESTERLY WINDS WILL STEADILY INCREASE ACROSS LAKE
MOULTRIE THIS MORNING...THEN BACK AROUND TO THE SW AND INCREASE
FURTHER BY MID TO LATE MORNING IN ADVANCE OF LOW PRESSURE AND ITS
ASSOCIATED COLD FRONT. GEOSTROPHIC WINDS WILL BE AROUND 25 OR 30
MOST OF THE DAY...AND ALTHOUGH MIXING WILL BE SOMEWHAT TEMPERED BY
THE WEAKENING OF COLD AIR ADVECTION THIS AFTERNOON...WE STILL LOOK
FOR SPEEDS TO REACH LAKE WIND ADVISORY CRITERIA. GUSTS NEAR AND
ALONG THE LAKE SHORE WILL REACH NEAR 25 OR 30 KT AT TIMES WHERE
THE BEST MIXING WILL OCCUR THIS AFTERNOON.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 PM THIS EVENING THROUGH MONDAY/...
TONIGHT...AN AREA OF LOW PRESSURE WILL PUSH OFFSHORE N OF THE AREA
THIS EVENING...DRAGGING A DRY COLD FRONT THROUGH SC AND GA. THIS
WILL ALSO BRING ANY MID/UPR LEVEL MOISTURE AWAY FROM THE AREA...
RESULTING IN CLEARING SKIES UNDER A PRIMARILY WESTERLY DRY FLOW
BOTH AT THE SFC AND ALOFT. MODEL SOUNDINGS STILL INDICATE PROFILES
WHICH PROMOTE DEEP MIXING WITH THE STRONG LOW LEVEL JETTING ACROSS
THE REGION...MAKING FOR STILL BREEZY CONDITIONS OVERNIGHT.
THEREFORE... RADIATIONAL COOLING CONDITIONS WILL NOT QUITE BE
OPTIMIZED DESPITE THE CLEAR/DRY CONDITIONS AND THIS WILL KEEP
TEMPS FROM DROPPING BELOW THE FREEZING MARK. WILL LOOK FOR LOWS IN
THE LOW 30S INLAND...IN THE MID 30S ALONG THE HWY 17 CORRIDOR AND
AROUND 40 ALONG THE SHORES.

THERE IS A WINDOW OF OPPORTUNITY FOR A MARGINAL WIND ADVISORY
ACROSS PARTS OF THE AREA EARLY TONIGHT...MAINLY FROM AROUND 01Z
TO 07Z...AND MOST ESPECIALLY FOR COASTAL SC AND PERHAPS BERKELEY
AND DORCHESTER COUNTIES. A LOW LEVEL JET OF 40-45 KT WILL CROSS
THE AREA IN ASSOCIATION WITH LOW PRESSURE MOVING BY TO THE NORTH
NEAR THE NC BORDER. FOR NOW WE WILL INCLUDE MENTION OF THIS
POSSIBILITY IN THE SPECIAL WEATHER STATEMENT...AND ALLOW THE DAYTIME
FORECASTERS AN OPPORTUNITY TO SEE AS TO WHETHER OR NOT WE REACH OUR
WIND ADVISORY CRITERIA OF SUSTAINED WINDS OF 30 MPH OR MORE AND/OR
GUSTS OF 40 MPH OR MORE.

LAKE WINDS...WINDS ACROSS LAKE MOULTRIE WILL REMAIN ELEVATED
TONIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY EVENING...WITH A CONTINUATION OF THE
LAKE WIND ADVISORY. LOW LEVEL JET OF 40-45 KT WILL CROSS THE AREA
THIS EVENING AND WILL ALLOW FOR WINDS TO SURGE UPWARDS TO 20-25 KT
OR /PERHAPS EVEN HIGHER THROUGH AROUND 06Z. EVEN IN WAKE OF THE
DEPARTING JET THERE IS STILL PLENTY OF WINDS WITHIN THE MIXED
LAYER LATER TONIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY EVENING TO EXPERIENCE WINDS
OF 20 KT AND GUSTY.

SAT AND SAT NIGHT...COLDER HIGH PRESSURE WILL MAKE INROADS FROM
THE NW BUT THE STRENGTHENING AREA OF LOW PRESSURE OFF THE MID
ATLC COAST WILL CONTINUE THE BREEZY CONDITIONS OVER THE AREA. THE
MAIN DIFFERENCE WILL BE THE COLD AIR ADVECTION THAT WILL BE
STARTING... NUDGING MAX TEMPS DOWN TO THE LOW 50S ACROSS MUCH OF
THE AREA. AS THE CENTER OF HIGH PRESSURE CROSSES THE APPALACHIANS
SAT EVENING INTO SAT NIGHT...MOSTLY CLEAR SKIES WILL PREVAIL
ALTHOUGH SOME HIGH CLOUDS MAY START TO MOVE IN FROM THE W AHEAD OF
THE NEXT STORM SYSTEM. WINDS LOOK TO SETTLE BACK SOME AS THE
PRESSURE GRADIENT SLACKENS...RESULTING IN BETTER RADIATIONAL
CONDITIONS AND NOTICEABLY COLDER TEMPERATURES. LOWS FOR SAT NIGHT
WILL REACH THE MID 20S OVER THE NORTHERN INLAND TIER WITH UPR 20S
OVER THE HWY 17 CORRIDOR IN SE SC AND S OF INTERSTATE 16 IN SE GA.
SHORELINE LOWS WILL HIT THE LOW-MID 30S.

SUN...HIGH PRESSURE FROM THE N WILL PREVAIL THROUGH THE FIRST
HALF OF THE DAY THEN SHIFT AWAY TO THE N BY LATE IN THE DAY AS
CYCLOGENESIS OCCURS OVER THE NORTH-CENTRAL GULF ALONG A LINGERING
SFC FRONT. CLOUDS WILL STREAM IN WITH GREATER FREQUENCY THROUGHOUT
THE DAY... FIRST IN THE UPPER LEVELS THEN STEADILY LOWERING. THE
RESIDUAL HIGH PRESSURE LOOKS TO MAINTAIN ENOUGH OF A PRESENCE TO
KEEP PRECIPITATION FAR ENOUGH W TO MAKE AN IMPACT OVER THE
AREA...BUT THERE IS NO DEBATING THE INCREASE IN MOISTURE. HAVE
OPTED TO RUN WITH A DRY FORECAST...BUT THERE IS STILL A SMALL CHC
/AROUND 10 PERCENT/ THAT SOME ISOLD RAIN SHOWERS COULD PUSH INTO
FAR WRN PORTIONS OF THE REGION BEFORE DARK. THE INCREASE IN CLOUD
COVER ALONG WITH A SHIFT IN SFC WINDS TO A NE DIRECTION AND MODEST
CONTINUATION OF COLD AIR ADVECTION WILL MAKE FOR A BRISK DAY WITH
HIGHS ONLY IN THE MID-UPR 40S.

SUN NIGHT...SUN NIGHT STILL LOOKS TO BE QUITE TRICKY DUE TO THE
UNKNOWN PATH OF THE LOW PRESSURE CENTER AND THE AMOUNT OF COLD AIR
ENVELOPED INTO THE SYSTEM. MOISTURE WILL CERTAINLY CONTINUE TO
BE ON THE INCREASE AS THE SYSTEM TRAVERSES THE GULF COAST EASTWARD
WHILE THE COLD AREA OF HIGH PRESSURE RETREATS NORTHWARD. THERE ARE
SOME INDICATIONS HIGH PRESSURE MAY REMAIN OVER INLAND AREAS IN THE
FORM OF A WEDGE... WHICH WOULD CREATE QUITE A SPREAD IN
TEMPERATURES AS A SOLID ONSHORE FLOW DEVELOPS. ISENTROPIC LIFT
CONTINUES TO LOOK IMPRESSIVE WHICH WOULD CREATE SCATTERED
PRECIPITATION ACROSS THE AREA. THE QUESTION FOR LATER ON IN THE
NIGHT IS WHETHER THE PRECIPITATION BECOMES FROZEN AT SOME POINT.
MODEL SOUNDINGS INDICATE THAT THERE COULD BE A VARIETY OF PRECIP
TYPES...FROM S- INLAND TO IP-/FZRA- CLOSER TO THE COAST AND RA-
ALONG THE SHORES AND CLOSE TO THE ALTAMAHA RIVER. THAT SAID...MOST
INDICATIONS POINT TO A RA-/SN- MIX LATE SUN NIGHT SO HAVE
INDICATED AS SUCH BUT GOING NO CONFIDENT THAN CHANCE WORDING FOR
THE WINTRY PRECIP. MIN TEMPS WILL DROP TO AROUND FREEZING FOR MUCH
OF SE SC AWAY FROM THE COAST AND IN SE GA N OF INTERSTATE 16...
WITH LOWS IN THE MID 30S CLOSER TO THE COAST AND LOW 40S ALONG THE
SHORES. ATTM...BEST SHOT FOR SEEING A RAIN/SNOW MIX WOULD BE FROM
BERKELEY COUNTY SC THROUGH JENKINS COUNTY GA...AND POSSIBLY FROM
CANDLER COUNTY GA THROUGH JASPER COUNTY SC.

MON...THE COMPLEX SFC LOW PRESSURE CENTER WILL SHIFT FROM THE NE
GOMEX MON MORNING TO OFF THE GA/SC COAST BY LATE MON AFTERNOON.
THERE STILL MAY BE THE RAIN/SNOW MIX AROUND AND SHORTLY AFTER
SUNRISE MON MORNING...BUT ENOUGH WARMING WILL OCCUR IN THE MORNING
ON THE BACKSIDE OF THIS SYSTEM TO CHANGE ANY FROZEN PRECIP TO ALL
LIQUID BY THE TIME IT REACHES THE GROUND. WILL STILL MAINTAIN
LIKELY POPS AS THERE SHOULD BE GOOD COVERAGE OF PRECIP THROUGH
MUCH OF THE DAY ON MONDAY. THERE ALSO LOOKS TO BE A GOOD SPREAD IN
TEMPERATURES AS INLAND LOCATIONS WILL STILL BE CAUGHT IN A N-NE
FLOW WHILE THE COAST AND FAR SOUTHERN PORTIONS OF THE CHS CWFA
WILL HAVE A MORE ONSHORE TO SOUTHERLY FLOW...RESULTING IN MUCH
WARMER VALUES. ATTM...AM SHOWING LWR 40S N TO MID 50S S BUT THERE
REMAINS A GOOD CHC FOR TEMPERATURE BUSTS IN SUCH SCENARIOS.

&&

.LONG TERM /MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY/...
THE LOW WILL CONTINUE TO PULL OFF TO THE NE MON NIGHT...AS WILL
MUCH OF THE MOISTURE. NEVERTHELESS...THERE WILL STILL BE ENOUGH
DEEP MOISTURE AND WEAK LIFT TO PRODUCE AT LEAST SCATTERED SHOWERS
GOING INTO MON NIGHT. LOOKING AT THICKNESS VALUES AND MODEL
SOUNDINGS SHOWS A REDUCED CHC FOR ANY KIND OF CHANGE TO OR MIX
WITH LGT SNOW SO HAVE DROPPED MENTION OF SN-. LOWS WILL REACH THE
MID 30S INLAND TO THE MID 40S NEAR THE COASTS.

THE AREA OF LOW PRESSURE WILL CONTINUE TO MOVE NE AND AWAY FROM
THE AREA TUE...ALLOWING HIGH PRESSURE TO BUILD IN BEHIND IT FOR
THE MIDDLE PORTION OF THE WEEK. THAT SAID...ANOTHER ROUND OF COLD
AIR ADVECTION IS EXPECTED TO OCCUR AS THIS DEEP AREA OF HIGH
PRESSURE DROPS IN FROM CANADA OVER THE CENTRAL STATES AND SPREADS
SOUTHEAST. HIGHS WILL BE HELD IN THE 40S WITH LOWS IN THE 20S OVER
MUCH OF THE CHS CWFA.

&&

.AVIATION /12Z FRIDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...
CONDITIONS WILL REMAIN VFR AT BOTH TERMINALS THROUGH 12Z
SATURDAY...WITH NO MORE THAN SOME MID AND HIGH LEVEL CLOUDINESS TO
OCCUR.

THE MAIN CONCERN FOR AVIATION INTERESTS TODAY AND TONIGHT WILL BE
IN REGARDS TO WINDS...BOTH AT THE SURFACE AND WITHIN THE FIRST
COUPLE OF THOUSAND FEET. DATA FROM THE MORNING UPPER AIR
RADIOSONDE FLIGHT CONFIRMS THAT WIND SHEAR WILL CONTINUE THROUGH
MID MORNING...WHEN SURFACE WINDS BEGIN INCREASING. WITH GOOD
MIXING TO TAP INTO THE LOW LEVEL JET OF 20-30 KT...WEST AND SW
SURFACE WINDS WILL CLIMB TO AROUND 14-18 KT BY MIDDAY AND
CONTINUE THROUGH THE AFTERNOON...WITH GUSTS AS HIGH AS 23-27 KT TO
OCCUR. THERE MAY BE A BRIEF DROP IN WINDS WITH SUNSET...BUT THIS
WOULD ONLY BE TEMPORARY...AS AN EVEN STRONGER LOW LEVEL JET OF
40-45 KT CROSSES THE AREA IN ASSOCIATION WITH DEEPENING LOW
PRESSURE NEAR THE NC/SC BORDER. THIS RESULTS IN ADDITIONAL GUSTY
SW AND WEST WINDS FOR MUCH OF TONIGHT...BEFORE THE STRONGEST LOW
LEVEL WIND FIELDS SHIFT EAST INTO THE ATLANTIC LATE TONIGHT.
DESPITE THE SURFACE WINDS AVERAGING 15 KT WITH GUSTS TO 25
KT...WE HAVE ALSO INCLUDED SEVERAL MORE HOURS OF WIND SHEAR FROM
00-12Z SATURDAY DUE TO THE STRONG LOW LEVEL WIND FIELDS.

THERE IS A SMALL CHANCE OF -SHRA IMPACTING KCHS EARLY TONIGHT AS
A COLD FRONT MOVES ON THROUGH...BUT CEILINGS AND VSBYS WILL STILL
REMAIN AT VFR LEVELS.

EXTENDED AVIATION OUTLOOK...VFR CONDITIONS WILL PREVAIL THROUGH
SUNDAY. MVFR OR LOWER CONDITIONS POSSIBLE SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH
EARLY TUESDAY.

&&

.MARINE...
WE HAVE INITIATED THE MORNING FORECAST WITH SCA/S FOR ALL WATERS
TODAY. A TIGHT PRESSURE GRADIENT BETWEEN A 1015 MB HIGH IN THE FAR
SOUTHERN GULF OF MEXICO AND DEEPENING LOW PRESSURE MOVING QUICKLY
EAST AND SE ACROSS THE TN VALLEY WILL ALLOW FOR WEST AND SW WINDS
TO REACH AS HIGH AS 20 OR 25 KT AND GUSTY. THE HIGHEST WINDS
OVER THE ATLANTIC WATERS WILL OCCUR THIS MORNING WITH THE BEST
COLD AIR ADVECTION...EXCEPT FOR CHARLESTON HARBOR WHICH WILL SEE
ITS HIGHEST WINDS THIS AFTERNOON WHEN MIXING IS OPTIMIZED DUE TO
THE LAND/SEA INTERFACE. DESPITE THE OFFSHORE FETCH THE SEAS WILL
STILL REACH NEAR 4 OR 5 FT WITHIN 20 NM OF THE COAST...AND UP TO 6
OT 7 FT ACROSS THE OUTERMOST GA WATERS.

MARINERS SHOULD THEN BE PREPARED FOR POSSIBLE GALES TONIGHT...AS A
STRONG LOW LEVEL JET OF AT LEAST 40 OR 45 KT CROSSES THE MARINE
AREA BETWEEN ABOUT 01Z AND 08Z. THIS JET IS IN ASSOCIATION WITH
THE AFOREMENTIONED SURFACE LOW THAT MOVES OFF THE SE NC COAST
AFTER MIDNIGHT...WHICH IN TURN PULLS A COLD FRONT THROUGH THE
LOCAL WATERS. MIXING WILL BE SLIGHTLY RESTRICTED WITH THE
RELATIVELY WARM AIR OVER THE COOLER WATERS WITHIN 20 NM OF THE
COAST...WHICH WILL LIMIT THE DOWNWARD MOMENTUM TRANSPORT OF THESE
WINDS. BUT A PINCHING OF THE PRESSURE GRADIENT SHOULD COMPENSATE
FOR THIS...WHILE ACROSS THE OUTER GA WATERS THERE WILL BE A BETTER
MIXING OF THE 35 TO 40 KT GEOSTROPHIC WINDS AS THEIR WATER TEMPS
WILL BE QUITE A BIT HIGHER THAN THE AIR TEMP. THUS WE LOOK FOR THE
POSSIBILITY OF GALE FORCE WINDS ACROSS AMZ350-352 AND 374...AND
HAVE RAISED A GALE WATCH. IT WILL BE CLOSE OVER AMZ330 AND
354...BUT WE HAVE CAPPED THEIR WINDS AT 30 KT. SEAS WILL BUILD AT
LEAST ANOTHER 1 TO 2 FT OVER THE ATLANTIC WATERS DURING TONIGHT.

THE STRONGEST WINDS WILL SHIFT NE AND EAST OF THE AREA SATURDAY
AND SATURDAY NIGHT AS THE SURFACE LOW SHIFTS PULLS OFF TO THE NEW
ENGLAND WATERS. BUT THERE REMAINS A DECENT PINCHING OF THE PRESSURE
GRADIENT BETWEEN THAT LOW AND HIGH PRESSURE BUILDING FROM THE NW.
THEREFORE WE STILL ANTICIPATE SCA CONDITIONS TO OCCUR.

EVEN THOUGH HIGH PRESSURE WILL CONTINUE TO BUILD ACROSS THE WATERS
SUNDAY...WINDS WILL VEER AROUND TO THE NE...ALLOWING FOR ENOUGH
OF A GRADIENT AND A FAVORABLE FETCH TO KEEP WINDS AND SEAS
SOMEWHAT ELEVATED. HOWEVER...AT THE PRESENT TIME MOST IF NOT ALL
WATERS WILL LIKELY BE BELOW ANY SCA CONDITIONS.

LOW PRESSURE MOVING ALONG THE NORTHERN GULF COAST EARLY MONDAY
WILL REDEVELOP OFF THE SC/GA COASTS BY LATE MONDAY OR MONDAY
NIGHT...BEFORE INTENSIFYING AS IT MOVES FURTHER NORTH AND NE
TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY. ALTHOUGH THE EXACT WIND/SEA DETAILS WITH
THIS SYSTEM HAVE YET TO BE FULLY RESOLVED...THERE ARE HIGH
PROBABILITIES THAT THERE WILL BE A PINCHING OF THE PRESSURE
GRADIENT IN ADVANCE OF THE SYSTEM EARLY IN THE WEEK...AND STRONG
COLD AIR ADVECTION IN ITS WAKE. THIS WILL RESULT IN AT LEAST SCA
CONDITIONS ACROSS THE ENTIRE MARINE AREA...WITH A SMALL
POSSIBILITY OF GALES.
