AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE CHARLESTON SC
817 PM EDT THU MAR 31 2011

.SYNOPSIS...
A COLD FRONT WILL PUSH OFFSHORE TONIGHT FOLLOWED BY A SECONDARY
COLD FRONT FRONT FRIDAY NIGHT. HIGH PRESSURE WILL PREVAIL OVER THE
WEEKEND INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK. A COLD FRONT WILL THEN MOVE THROUGH
THE AREA TUESDAY INTO WEDNESDAY FOLLOWED BY HIGH PRESSURE FOR THE
MIDDLE AND LATTER PART OF NEXT WEEK.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM FRIDAY MORNING/...
UPPER TROUGH/SURFACE COLD FRONT WILL PUSH A BAND OF SHOWERS/
ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS THE FORECAST AREA THROUGH EARLY
EVENING. AS OF 8 PM...THE BACK EDGE OF THE RAIN WAS NEAR
INTERSTATE 95 AND MOVING QUICKLY OFF TO THE NE. CLEARING IS
OCCURRING QUICKLY BEHIND THE FRONT...MAINLY ACROSS SE GA WHERE
SOME DOWNSLOPE FLOW SEEMS TO HAVE HELPED ERODE MORE OF THE LOW
CLOUDS. RESIDUAL HIGH PRES WEDGING CONTINUES ACROSS MOST OF SC.
HAVE ALREADY ADJUSTED THE FORECAST BASED ON THE LATEST RADAR TRENDS.

THE DRYING TREND AND PERSISTENT W/NW SURFACE WINDS SHOULD OFFSET
THE POTENTIAL FOR SIGNIFICANT FOG DEVELOPMENT OVERNIGHT...ALTHOUGH
PATCHY FOG COULD DEVELOP IF SKIES CLEAR AND THE BOUNDARY LAYER
DECOUPLES.

EVEN WITH CLOUD COVER...COLD ADVECTION SHOULD PUSH TEMPERATURES INTO
THE LOWER/MID 40S MOST LOCATIONS AWAY FROM THE IMMEDIATE COAST
OVERNIGHT. A FEW LOCATIONS WELL INLAND COULD FALL INTO THE UPPER
30S TOWARD DAYBREAK...BUT FROST APPEARS UNLIKELY.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 AM FRIDAY MORNING THROUGH SUNDAY/...
FRIDAY AND FRIDAY NIGHT...THE UPPER LEVEL LONGWAVE TROUGH AXIS WILL
PUSH OFFSHORE FRIDAY MORNING...FOLLOWED BY A DRIER NW FLOW ALOFT. AT
THE SFC...ONE COLD FRONT WILL CONTINUE TO PUSH WELL INTO THE ATLC
WHILE A SECONDARY COLD FRONT APPROACHES FROM THE W. MUCH LESS
MOISTURE WILL BE AVAILABLE WITH THE SECONDARY FRONT...DUE TO THE
DEEP W-NW FLOW ASSOCIATED WITH IT. IN ADDITION...GREATER STABILITY
LATE FRI THROUGH FRI NIGHT WILL AID TO SUPPRESS PRECIP DEVELOPMENT.
THUS...HAVE REMOVED POPS FOR THE PERIOD. MOSTLY CLOUDY SKIES SHOULD
PREVAIL BUT IT WOULD NOT BE UNREASONABLE TO HAVE A FEW MORE BREAKS
IN THE CLOUD COVER THAN CURRENTLY ANTICIPATED. THE LACK OF A HIGH
PRESSURE WEDGE WILL RESULT IN WARMER TEMPS FOR FRIDAY WITH HIGHS IN
THE UPR 60S TO LWR 70S. FOR FRIDAY NIGHT...LOWS WILL BOTTOM OUT IN
THE MID-UPR 40S.

SATURDAY THROUGH SUNDAY...HIGH PRESSURE WILL BUILD BACK INTO THE
REGION...RESULTING IN RAIN FREE CONDITIONS. MORNING CLOUDS SHOULD
DISSIPATE BY LATE SATURDAY MORNING FOLLOWED BY PLENTY OF SUNSHINE
SATURDAY AFTERNOON. LOW LEVEL THICKNESS VALUES SUPPORT HIGHS IN THE
MID TO UPPER 70S...AND WITH DOWNSLOPE FLOW AND PLENTY OF SUNSHINE
ANTICIPATED...SEE NO REASON TO DEVIATE FROM THESE VALUES. LOWS
SATURDAY NIGHT WILL BOTTOM OUT IN THE LOWER 40S INLAND...AND IN THE
MID TO UPPER 40S CLOSER TO THE COAST. AFTER A CHILLY START...EXPECT
HIGHS TO TOP OUT IN THE 70S AWAY FROM THE BEACHES ON SUNDAY.

&&

.LONG TERM /SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY/...
HIGH PRESSURE WILL HOLD IN PLACE SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH MONDAY NIGHT
RESULTING IN RAIN FREE WEATHER ACROSS THE AREA. A COLD FRONT WILL
THEN APPROACH FROM THE WEST SOMETIME LATE TUESDAY INTO MIDDAY
WEDNESDAY AND MOVE THROUGH THE FORECAST AREA BY LATE WEDNESDAY.
THERE IS GROWING CONFIDENCE THAT THE FROPA WILL OCCUR...BUT TIMING
IS HIGHLY SUSPECT WITH THE LATEST MODEL RUNS SO HAVE KEPT POPS NO
HIGHER THAN 40 PERCENT FOR SHOWER/THUNDERSTORM POSSIBILITIES. HIGH
PRESSURE WILL THEN BUILD BACK INTO THE REGION WEDNESDAY THROUGH
THURSDAY...WITH RAIN FREE WEATHER ANTICIPATED. EXPECT WELL ABOVE
NORMAL TEMPERATURES MONDAY AND TUESDAY...BEFORE A COOLER MORE
SEASONAL AIRMASS MOVES IN FOR MID TO LATE WEEK.

&&

.AVIATION /00Z FRIDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...
GENERALLY IMPROVING CONDS TONIGHT BEHIND A COLD FRONT. KSAV HAS
ALREADY SEEN CONDS BACK TO VFR BUT KCHS IS STILL SEEING IFR CONDS
WITH THE BACK EDGE OF THE RAIN YET TO PUSH THROUGH. THE RAIN
SHOULD PUSH THROUGH KCHS BY 01Z BUT LOW CIGS COULD LINGER LONGER
INTO THE NIGHT AS LOW-LEVEL MOISTURE REMAINS. HOWEVER...MAINTAINED
PREVIOUS FORECAST TIMING WITH CONDS BECOMING VFR BY 09Z...ALTHOUGH
THIS PART OF THE FORECAST IS RATHER LOW CONFIDENCE. AT KSAV...MVFR
CIGS ARE STILL POSSIBLE THROUGH ABOUT 06Z BUT CONFIDENCE WAS LOW
ENOUGH NOT TO INCLUDE MENTION IN THE 00Z TAFS.

WINDS WILL BE ON THE INCREASE OFF THE SURFACE OVERNIGHT AND THIS
SHOULD HINDER ANY FOG FORMATION. VSBY RESTRICTIONS SHOULD MAINLY
BE TIED TO THE PRECIP.

EXTENDED AVIATION OUTLOOK...VFR CONDITIONS PREVAIL THROUGH
MONDAY. MVFR/IFR VSBYS IN SHOWERS/TSTMS POSSIBLE TUESDAY AFTERNOON
OR EVENING AS A STRONG COLD FRONT APPROACHES.

&&

.MARINE...
SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY WINDS/SEAS CANNOT BE RULED OUT TONIGHT...BUT
THE PROBABILITY REMAINS TOO LOW TO JUSTIFY ANY HEADLINES WITHIN
THE LATE THURSDAY AFTERNOON FORECAST PACKAGE.

LOW PRESSURE WILL PASS OVER SOUTHERN WATERS FOLLOWED BY COLD FROPA
THIS EVENING. THUS...VARIABLE/SHIFTING WINDS WILL GIVE WAY TO
STRENGTHENING OFFSHORE WINDS...W/NW AS HIGH AS 20 KT OVERNIGHT.
SEAS WILL RANGE FROM 2-3 FT WITHIN NEARSHORE WATERS TO 4-5 FT
BEYOND 20 NM.

FRIDAY THROUGH TUESDAY...A COLD FRONT WILL APPROACH FROM THE
NORTHWEST ON FRIDAY AND MOVE THROUGH THE WATERS FRIDAY NIGHT. HIGH
PRESSURE WILL THEN BUILD BACK INTO THE AREA THROUGH EARLY NEXT WEEK.
A COLD FRONT WILL APPROACH THE REGION FROM THE WEST NEXT WEEK...BUT
THERE ARE QUESTIONS ABOUT THE TIMING. MODELS NARROW IT DOWN TO
TUESDAY INTO WEDNESDAY. NO REAL SIGNIFICANT MARINE CONCERNS THROUGH
THE WEEKEND...WITH WINDS AND SEAS REMAINING BELOW ADVISORY
THRESHOLDS. DEPENDING ON THE STRENGTH OF THE COLD AIR ADVECTION
FOLLOWING THE COLD FRONT PASSAGE FRIDAY NIGHT AND SATURDAY...THERE
IS AN OUTSIDE CHANCE THAT WINDS COULD APPROACH SMALL CRAFT LEVELS IN
GUSTS...BUT THE DURATION APPEARS TOO SHORT TO WARRANT FLAGS AT THIS
TIME. EXPECT A FAIRLY GOOD GRADIENT TO DEVELOP AHEAD OF A COLD FRONT
EARLY NEXT WEEK...AND SMALL CRAFT ADVISORIES MAY EVENTUALLY BE
NEEDED FOR PORTIONS OF THE MARINE AREA.
