AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE CHARLESTON SC
125 PM EDT SAT OCT 8 2011

.SYNOPSIS...
STRONG HIGH PRESSURE WILL PREVAIL NORTH OF THE REGION THROUGH
EARLY NEXT WEEK. MEANWHILE...LOW PRESSURE IS EXPECTED TO DEVELOP
SOUTH OF THE REGION LATE THIS WEEKEND...AND THIS LOW COULD
EVENTUALLY LIFT NORTH TO IMPACT THE REGION INTO MID WEEK. HIGH
PRESSURE SHOULD GRADUALLY BUILD EAST TOWARD THE AREA LATE NEXT
WEEK.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 PM THIS EVENING/...
NO MAJOR CHANGES WERE MADE TO THE FORECAST FOR THE REMAINDER OF
THE AFTERNOON HOURS. WINDS CONTINUE TO HOWL ALONG THE COAST WITH
MESONET SENSORS SUPPORTING THE GOING WIND ADVISORY ALONG ACROSS
THE NORTH GEORGIA COASTAL ZONES.

THERE WILL BE LOTS TO DISCUSS LATER THIS AFTERNOON AND FURTHER
ADJUSTMENTS TO ONGOING WATCHES...WARNINGS AND ADVISORIES WILL BE
NEEDED.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 PM THIS EVENING THROUGH TUESDAY/...
THE UPPER LEVEL PATTERN WILL REMAIN BLOCKED BY A STRONG RIDGE OF
HIGH PRESSURE OVER THE NORTHEASTERN STATES AND A CLOSED LOW OVER
THE EASTERN GULF OF MEXICO TONIGHT. HIGH PRESSURE AT THE SURFACE
WILL CONTINUE TO BUILD INTO THE REGION FROM THE NORTH WHILE A WEAK
COASTAL TROUGH REMAINS JUST OFFSHORE. THERE SHOULD BE A NOCTURNAL
INCREASE IN CONVECTION OVER THE ADJACENT COASTAL WATERS...WITH
TRAJECTORIES HELPING TO ADVECT SCATTERED OR EVEN NUMEROUS SHOWERS
ONSHORE TONIGHT...ESPECIALLY ALONG THE SOUTHEAST GEORGIA COAST.
FARTHER INLAND THE COVERAGE OF SHOWERS WILL BE SIGNIFICANTLY
LESS...WITH MANY AREAS LIKELY REMAINING RAIN-FREE DUE TO THE
INFLUENCE OF HIGH PRESSURE AND LIMITED MOISTURE. WINDS WILL REMAIN
COUPLED TONIGHT...WITH EVEN SOME GUSTY CONDITIONS POSSIBLE RIGHT
ALONG THE COAST. THIS WILL PREVENT TEMPERATURES FROM FALLING MUCH
LOWER THAN THE UPPER 50S TO LOWER 60S INLAND WITH CONSIDERABLY
WARMER TEMPERATURES EXPECTED AT THE BEACHES.

THE UPPER RIDGE OVER THE NE U.S. IS EXPECTED TO SHIFT OFF THE
NEW ENGLAND COAST ON SUNDAY ALLOWING EFFECTS FROM A COMPLEX LOW PRES
SYSTEM OVER THE EASTERN GULF TO MEXICO...FLORIDA AND THE BAHAMAS TO
TAKE HOLD OVER SE GEORGIA AND SOUTHERN SOUTH CAROLINA. THE UPPER
LEVEL TROUGH AXIS IS FORECAST TO ELONGATE NORTHWARD ON THE SW
PERIPHERY OF THE EAST COAST RIDGE AND THIS WILL INITIATE A TREND
THAT WILL SEE DEEP TROPICAL MOISTURE BEGIN ADVECT INTO OUR FORECAST
AREA FROM THE S AND SE SUNDAY AND PERSIST INTO TUE. ON SUNDAY...POP
FORECASTS WERE DIFFICULT AS THERE WILL LIKELY BE SIGNIFICANT RAINS
ACROSS FAR S GEORGIA...YET INLAND AREAS TO THE W OF I-95 IN SOUTH
CAROLINA MAYBE STAYING DRY. COASTAL AREAS WILL BECOME BREEZY TO
WINDY AND DEPENDING ON THE SURFACE GRADIENT ALIGNMENT...STRENGTH OF
MOISTURE GRADIENTS AND PINCHING TRENDS.

MON AND TUE LOOK LIKE VERY UNSETTLED DAYS ACROSS THE REGION WITH
DEEP TROPICAL MOISTURE AND PWATS OVER 2 INCHES AT TIMES SPREADING
N ACROSS THE FORECAST AREA. IMPRESSIVE LOW LEVEL CONVERGENCE AND
UPPER LEVEL DIFLUENCE SUPPORT THE IDEA FOR HEAVY RAINFALL ACROSS
PARTS OF OUR REGION. MODELS STILL HAVE SOME TIMING DIFFERENCES
BUT ALL SEEM TO AGREE ON WET WEATHER WITH STRONG NE WINDS ALONG
THE IMMEDIATE COAST. WITH THE ONSET OF A DEEPLY SATURATED AIR
MASS WE LOWERED MAX TEMPS EARLY NEXT WEEK A BIT. WE THINK THERE
COULD BE POTENTIAL WIND IMPACTS ALONG THE IMMEDIATE COASTAL AREAS
SUNDAY NIGHT INTO MONDAY NIGHT AND WIND ADVISORIES MAY BE NEEDED
FOR THESE PERIODS...AT LEAST FOR BEACHES AND BARRIER ISLANDS.

LAKE WINDS...A LAKE WIND ADVISORY MAY EVENTUALLY BE REQUIRED FOR
LAKE MOULTRIE LATE THIS WEEKEND OR EARLY NEXT WEEK.

&&

.LONG TERM /TUESDAY NIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY/...
MID AND UPPER LEVEL TROUGHING WILL PERSIST OVER THE REGION THROUGH
MID WEEK...ALTHOUGH DEEPEST MOISTURE IS EXPECTED TO LIFT N OF THE
FORECAST AREA ON WED. GLOBAL MODELS HINTING THAT WET WEATHER IN
THE FORM OF MORE STRATIFORM/DEFORMATION RAINS COULD LINGER THROUGH
WED NIGHT. A BIT OF RIDGING LATE WEEK WITH SOME DRIER OFFSHORE FLOW
SHOULD DIMINISH RAIN CHANCES AND ALLOW FOR SOME SUNSHINE TO RETURN.
TEMPS WITH WEAK DOWNSLOPE COULD REBOUND TO SLIGHTLY ABOVE CLIMO BY
LATE WEEK. DESPITE A DEEPLY AMPLIFIED UPPER PATTERN...WE LOOK
TO STAY DRY INTO THE FIRST PART OF THE WEEKEND.

&&

.AVIATION /18Z SATURDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/...
VFR CONDITIONS WILL PREVAIL AT KCHS AND KSAV THROUGH 12Z SUNDAY.
HOWEVER...BRIEF REDUCTIONS TO MVFR CONDITIONS WILL BE POSSIBLE AT
TIMES AT KSAV SHOULD ANY ISOLATED SHOWERS AND/OR BROKEN
STRATOCUMULUS MAKE IT THAT FAR INLAND...MAINLY TONIGHT. THIS WILL
BE LESS OF AN ISSUE AT KCHS DUE TO A LACK OF MOISTURE AND ITS
CLOSER PROXIMITY TO THE CENTER OF A LARGE HIGH PRESSURE SYSTEM.
SURFACE WINDS WILL CONTINUE TO INCREASE AS THE PRESSURE DROPS AND
THE GRADIENT TIGHTENS. WINDS WILL BECOME GUSTY DURING THE LATE
AFTERNOON TODAY...PEAKING AT 20-25 KT AT TIMES. LOW LEVEL WIND
SHEAR COULD BE AN ISSUE AROUND DAYBREAK SUNDAY...HOWEVER THE
DIFFERENTIAL BETWEEN WINDS ALOFT AND THE SURFACE WINDS APPEAR TO
BE JUST BELOW CRITERIA.

EXTENDED AVIATION OUTLOOK...PERIODIC MVFR/IFR CONDITIONS COULD
DEVELOP LATE WEEKEND...THEN BECOME A MORE PREVAILING RISK EARLY
NEXT WEEK AS RAIN CHANCES INCREASE FROM SOUTH TO NORTH. CLOUDS AND
PRECIP MAY LINGER INTO LATE WED. SURFACE WINDS WILL BE QUITE GUSTY
AT TIMES FROM THE NE WITH SOME LLWS ALSO POSSIBLE AT SOME POINT.

&&

.MARINE...
WINDS AND SEAS ARE STEADILY BUILDING OVER THE AREA. HAVE INCREASED
WINDS TO 25-30 KT FOR ALL GEORGIA MARINE ZONES AND THE SOUTH
CAROLINA WATERS SOUTH OF EDISTO BEACH. COULD SEE A FEW GUSTS TO 35
KT GALES...BUT DO NOT THINK DURATION WILL BE ENOUGH FOR A GALE
WARNING AT THIS POINT. OPTED TO INCREASE SEAS BY ABOUT A FOOT
GIVEN CURRENT TRENDS. ALL SMALL CRAFT ADVISORIES AND GALE WATCHES
REMAIN IN FORCE.

AN IMPRESSIVE WIND AND SEA EVENT UPCOMING ACROSS OUR MARINE AREA
AS THE PRES GRADIENT CONTINUES TO SQUEEZE BETWEEN THE HIGH TO THE
N AND ADVANCING WAVES OF LOW PRES COMING UP FROM THE S. THERE
WAS ENOUGH EVIDENCE TO ISSUE A A GALE WATCH STARTING ON SUNDAY
AND CONTINUING INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK. BY MON...THE GRADIENT IS
ENOUGH TO SUPPORT GUSTS UP TO 40 KT AND WITH LOCALIZED PINCHING
SOME WINDS COULD BE LOCALLY HIGHER. SEAS WILL CONTINUE TO
BUILD TO 8-11 FT WITHIN 20 NM AND POSSIBLY 15-20 KT CLOSER TO
THE GULF STREAM WELL OFF THE GEORGIA COAST. WE MAY EVENTUALLY
NEED A GALE WATCH OR WARNING IN THE CHARLESTON HARBOR BUT WE
HAVE JUST CONTINUED AN SCA THERE FOR NOW. CONDITIONS WILL IMPROVE
TOWARD MID WEEK AS LOW PRES FINALLY MOVES N OF THE REGION BY LATER
WED.

RIP CURRENTS...STRONG ONSHORE WINDS COMBINED WITH BUILDING SEAS IN
THE SURF ZONE WITH A PERIOD OF AROUND 8 SECONDS WILL LEAD TO A
HIGH RISK OF RIP CURRENTS AT ALL AREA BEACHES TODAY. GIVEN A
CONTINUED STRONG ONSHORE FETCH INTO THE MIDDLE OF NEXT WEEK...AN
ELEVATED RISK OF RIP CURRENTS WILL CONTINUE.

&&

.HYDROLOGY...
WE ARE BECOMING INCREASING CONFIDENT IN THE POSSIBILITY OF A
HEAVY RAINFALL EVENT SETTING UP EARLY IN THE WEEK. MANY
UNCERTAINTIES REMAIN FOR THE LOCATION OF EXCESSIVE RAINFALL
MAXES LATE SUNDAY INTO TUE...BUT WE WILL CONTINUE TO MENTION IN OUR
HAZARDOUS WEATHER OUTLOOK. MANY AREAS HAVE SEEN A PROLONGED
DRY SPELL OF LATE BUT WE THINK COASTAL AREAS WILL BECOME QUITE
VULNERABLE GIVEN THE STRONG ONSHORE FLOW...INCREASING TIDAL
ANOMALIES AND POTENTIAL FOR POCKETS OF RAIN PRODUCING 3-5 INCH
AMOUNTS LOCALLY...PERHAPS EVEN HIGHER. A FLOOD WATCH MAY BE
NEEDED AT SOME POINT LEADING INTO THIS EVENT.

&&

.TIDES/COASTAL FLOODING...
WAVE WATCH GUIDANCE PUSHES 8-9 FT SEAS WITHIN 20 NM OF THE COAST
TODAY. THIS SHOULD EASILY TRANSLATE TO 4-6 FOOT BREAKERS WITHIN
THE SURF ZONE...INITIALLY HIGHEST ON GA BEACHES. THUS...PER OUR 5
FT BREAKER CRITERIA HAVE CONTINUED THE HIGH SURF ADVISORY VALID
THROUGH MONDAY NIGHT. HIGH SURF COULD CONTINUE INTO THE MIDDLE OF
NEXT WEEK...BUT UNCERTAINTY REGARDING WINDS/SEAS BEYOND MONDAY
NIGHT PRECLUDES A LONGER DURATION ADVISORY AT THIS TIME.

LATE THIS WEEKEND INTO THE EARLY/MIDDLE PORTION OF NEXT
WEEK...INCREASING ONSHORE FLOW WILL ALSO INCREASE CHANCES FOR
SHALLOW SALT WATER FLOODING AND BEACH EROSION DURING HIGH TIDE
CYCLES WITH THE LONG DURATION NE FLOW EVENT.
