AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE CHARLESTON SC
400 PM EDT SUN SEP 25 2011

.SYNOPSIS...
A TROUGH OF LOW PRESSURE WILL LINGER MAINLY OFFSHORE THROUGH
EARLY THIS WEEK. HIGH PRESSURE OVER THE NEARBY ATLANTIC WILL GIVE
WAY TO THE APPROACH OF A WEAK COLD FRONT DURING MID WEEK. A
STRONGER COLD FRONT WILL THEN MOVE THROUGH LATE IN THE WEEK
FOLLOWED BY COOLER HIGH PRESSURE DURING THE WEEKEND.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM MONDAY MORNING/...
SCATTERED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS REMAIN POSSIBLE INTO EARLY
EVENING. SOME OF THESE STORMS HAVE ALREADY BEEN SEVERE WITH
DAMAGING WINDS AND LARGE HAIL AND THIS THREAT WILL
CONTINUE...MAINLY ACROSS INTERIOR PORTIONS OF THE FORECAST AREA
WHERE NUMEROUS MESOSCALE BOUNDARIES EXIST. DIMINISHING CLOUD
COVER...MOIST LOW LEVELS AND LIGHT WINDS WILL ALLOW FOR FOG LATE...SOME
OF WHICH COULD BECOME DENSE. LOWS GENERALLY AROUND 70 AWAY FROM
THE LOCALLY MILDER COAST.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 AM MONDAY MORNING THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
MONDAY...THE DEEP CUT OFF OVER THE UPPER MIDWEST WILL MOVE LITTLE
THROUGH THE DAY...WHILE A BROAD ANTICYCLONE ALOFT IS FOUND OVER THE
WEST AND NW ATLANTIC. IN BETWEEN THESE TWO FEATURES IS A DEEP SW
FLOW ACROSS THE LOCAL AREA...WHICH WILL CONTINUE TO ADVECT A DECENT
AMOUNT OF MOISTURE INTO THE AREA WITH PWATS THAT ARE A LITTLE ABOVE
NORMAL.

CONVECTION WILL BE DRIVEN BY THE SEA BREEZE...DIFFERENTIAL HEATING
BOUNDARIES FROM MORNING STRATUS/FOG AND ADDITIONAL MESOSCALE
BOUNDARIES THAT DEVELOP THROUGHOUT THE DAY. THUS WE WILL RESTRICT
POPS TO NO MORE THAN THE SCATTERED RANGE DURING THE
AFTERNOON/EVENING. CONVECTIVE TEMPS ARE IN THE LOWER AND MIDDLE 80S
AND LCL/S ARE FAIRLY LOW...WITH A WEAK CAP IN PLACE. THUS WE LOOK
FOR ACTIVITY TO START DEVELOPING BY 16Z...AND INCREASING IN COVERAGE
THEREAFTER. HIGHEST POPS WILL BE NEAR AND WEST OF I-95.

WE DON/T HAVE THE UPPER LEVEL JET ENHANCEMENT LIKE WE SAW
TODAY...BUT THERE IS STILL CONCERN FOR ISOLATED SEVERE WEATHER. DRY
AIR ALOFT AND DCAPES THAT ARE AS HIGH AS 1200-1600 J/KG...TOTAL
TOTALS THAT ARE 45-50 AND WINDEX VALUES OF 45-50 KT SUGGEST THAT
WHERE BOUNDARY INTERACTION OCCURS WE COULD SEE LOCALLY DAMAGING
WINDS AND MAYBE MARGINALLY SEVERE HAIL. A SLOW STORM MOTION ALSO
POINTS TOWARD LOCALLY HEAVY RAINFALL IN PERSISTENT STORMS.

WITH 850 MB TEMPS NEAR 17-18C AND LOW LEVEL THICKNESS OF 1418-1426
METERS SUGGEST THAT IF WE GET ENOUGH INSOLATION BETWEEN THE TIME OF
THE LOW STRATUS/FOG BURNING OFF IN THE MORNING AND THE ONSET OF
CONVECTION...THAT TEMPS WILL PEAK IN THE UPPER 80S TO NEAR 90 AWAY
FROM THE SHORELINE.

TUESDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY...THE CUTOFF LOW BEGINS TO SHIFT EVER SO
SLOWLY EAST AND NE...REACHING THE LOWER GREAT LAKES DURING THE
MIDDLE OF THE WEEK. AS THIS OCCURS IT DOES CAUSE THE ATLANTIC RIDGING
ALOFT TO WEAKEN A TAD AS IT SHIFTS A TAD EASTWARD. AT THE SAME TIME
A WEAK COLD FRONT ATTEMPTS TO APPROACH FROM THE WEST AND NW
TUESDAY...BUT LOOKS TO WASH OUT ON WEDNESDAY. DO NOT THINK THAT THE
FRONT IS ABLE TO PUSH THROUGH THE REGION GIVEN THAT IT BECOMES
PARALLEL TO THE WEST OR WEST-SW FLOW ALOFT...KEEPING US WITH ABOVE
NORMAL TEMPS...AND AT LEAST A SLIGHT CHANCE OR CHANCE OF POPS.
COVERAGE OF CONVECTION WILL BE GREATEST OVER NORTHERN AND WESTERN
SECTIONS TUESDAY IN CLOSER PROXIMITY TO THE UPSTREAM FRONT AND WHERE
BOUNDARY INTERACTION OCCURS. BUT ON WEDNESDAY THE RISK LOOKS TO BE
OVER SOUTHERN AND SW SECTIONS WHERE THERE MIGHT BE SOME SHORT WAVE
ENERGY THAT MOVES IN. DCAPES ARE CLOSE TO 1000 J/KG BOTH DAYS...AND
COMBINED WITH THE DRY AIR ALOFT SUPPORTS THE RISK OF ISOLATED SEVERE
STORMS.

COMPRESSIONAL HEATING AND DOWNSLOPE FLOW OFF THE APPALACHIANS WILL
SUPPORT MAX TEMPS 90-92 IN MANY AREAS TUESDAY...BEFORE AN INCREASE
IN CLOUD COVER AND LESS DOWNSLOPE FLOW DROPS TEMPS A COUPLE OF
DEGREES WEDNESDAY.

&&

.LONG TERM /WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY/...
THE COLD FRONT WILL CONTINUE TO DROP INTO THE REGION FROM THE
NORTHWEST THURSDAY AND FRIDAY. THE MAIN AIR MASS CHANGE COULD BE
DELAYED UNTIL FRIDAY...WHEN THE AXIS OF AN UPPER TROUGH SWINGS
ACROSS THE EAST COAST. NUMERICAL MODELS ARE SHOWING A DECENT PUSH
OF COLD ADVECTION FRIDAY INTO SATURDAY...AS WINDS VEER SHARPLY
TO THE NORTH/NORTHEAST. A STEADY COOLING TREND WILL RESULT...WITH
TEMPERATURES SUPPRESSED IN THE LOWER 80S SATURDAY AND POSSIBLY THE
UPPER 70S BY SUNDAY. ACCOMPANYING THE MORE FALL-LIKE TEMPERATURES
WILL BE DRIER AIR AND RAIN FREE CONDITIONS INTO NEXT WEEKEND.

&&

.AVIATION /19Z SUNDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/...
EXPECT VFR CONDITIONS TO PREVAIL THROUGH SUNSET. SCATTERED
SHRA/TSRA WILL LIKELY BE LURKING AROUND THE TERMINALS THIS
AFTERNOON INTO EARLY EVENING...AND WILL INITIALIZE WITH CB/S AND
VCSH BASED ON LATEST RADAR TRENDS. STRATUS AND FOG APPEAR LIKELY
AGAIN TONIGHT AND HAVE INTRODUCED IFR CONDS DURING PERIOD OF
HIGHEST CONFIDENCE. HOWEVER...CONDS COULD DROP BELOW IFR LEVELS AT
SOME POINT.

EXTENDED AVIATION OUTLOOK...PERIODS OF MVFR OR LOWER CIGS/VSBYS WILL
BE POSSIBLE AT TIMES THROUGH MID WEEK DUE TO ISOLATED TO SCATTERED
SHRA/TSRA DURING THE AFTERNOON/EVENING HOURS AND LATE NIGHT/EARLY
MORNING FOG/STRATUS. OTHERWISE VFR WEATHER WILL PREVAIL.

&&

.MARINE...
TONIGHT...
WEAK PRESSURE GRADIENT WILL MEAN LIGHT WINDS BUT SEAS ARE EXPECTED
TO INCREASE A BIT OVERNIGHT DUE TO INCREASING SE SWELL. DECIDED TO
CANCEL THE ADVISORY FOR THE CHARLESTON COUNTY COASTAL WATERS AS
SIGNIFICANT WAVE HEIGHTS SHOULD REMAIN 5 FT OR LESS.

MONDAY THROUGH THURSDAY...
A WEAK LOW PRESSURE WAVE WILL BE FOUND OVER OR NEAR THE COASTAL
WATERS AT THE START OF MONDAY...TEMPORARILY INTERRUPTING THE
CLOCKWISE FLOW AROUND THE BERMUDA HIGH. BUT THIS HIGH WILL
RE-ESTABLISH ITSELF ACROSS THE WATERS BY AFTERNOON INTO EARLY
TUESDAY...BEFORE IT SHIFTS EAST IN ADVANCE OF A WEAK COLD FRONT
LATER TUESDAY. THE FRONT WILL FIZZLE OUT DURING WEDNESDAY...AS THE
HIGH EXTENDS WEST AGAIN ACROSS THE AREA.

WINDS WILL OSCILLATE WITH LAND BREEZE AND SEA BREEZE CIRCULATION
THROUGH WEDNESDAY...GENERALLY HOLDING AT LESS THAN 15 KT. SEAS WILL
BE CAUSE FOR CONCERN WITH SOME LONGER PERIOD SWELLS TO IMPACT THE
WATERS IN ASSOCIATION WITH DISTANT TROPICAL CYCLONE OPHELIA. WHILE
MOST WATERS WILL EXPERIENCE COMBINED SEAS OF 5 FEET OR LESS...SOME 6
FOOTERS WILL IMPACT THE OUTER GA WATERS INTO LATE TUESDAY. THUS A
CONTINUATION OF THE SCA FOR AMZ374. AS A RESULT OF THE SWELLS...THE
BULK OF THE WAVE ENERGY WILL BE AROUND 9-13 SECONDS THROUGH THE
FIRST PART OF THE WEEK.

WINDS WILL THEN STEADILY VEER MORE OFFSHORE BY THURSDAY AHEAD OF A
STRONGER COLD FRONT THAT APPROACHES LATE IN THE WEEK. WIND SPEEDS
ARE EXPECTED TO REMAIN BELOW ADVISORY CRITERIA THROUGH
THURSDAY...BEFORE COLD ADVECTION ASSOCIATED WITH THE FRONT INITIATES
A SURGE INTO THE WEEKEND.

RIP CURRENTS...SMALL BUT LONGER PERIOD SWELLS WILL IMPACT THE SURF
ZONE ON MONDAY. THAT ALONG WITH ONSHORE WINDS AND THE ASTRONOMICAL
INFLUENCES FROM THE UPCOMING PERIGEE AND NEW MOON WE RESULT IN A
MODERATE RISK OF RIP CURRENTS AT ALL BEACHES MONDAY. AN ELEVATED
RISK WILL PERSIST THROUGH AT LEAST MID WEEK DUE TO SIMILAR
INFLUENCING FACTORS.

&&

.TIDES/COASTAL FLOODING...
GIVEN THE PERIGEAN SPRING TIDE DURING THE EARLY AND MIDDLE PART
OF THE WEEK THE FORECAST TIDE LEVELS WILL BE CLOSE TO WHERE
SHALLOW COASTAL FLOODING BEGINS. ANY INCREASE IN ONSHORE WINDS
AND/OR HIGHER SURF COULD RESULT IN THE ISSUANCE OF COASTAL FLOOD
ADVISORIES FOR AT LEAST PARTS OF THE COAST. PROBABILITIES THOUGH ARE
NOT YET HIGH ENOUGH TO INCLUDE IN THE HAZARDOUS WEATHER
OUTLOOK...SINCE AT THE EARLIEST WE ANTICIPATE ANY POSSIBLE MINOR
CONCERNS WOULD BE TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY...WHEN THE LEVELS WILL ONLY
BE MARGINAL.

&&

.CHS WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
GA...NONE.
SC...NONE.
MARINE...SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY FROM 8 PM THIS EVENING TO 5 PM EDT
     TUESDAY FOR AMZ374.
