AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE CHARLESTON SC
203 AM EDT WED SEP 28 2011

.SYNOPSIS...
A WEAK TROUGH OF LOW PRESSURE WILL LINGER OVER OR NEAR THE AREA
THROUGH MID WEEK...BEFORE A COLD FRONT APPROACHES THE REGION LATE
IN THE WEEK. A COOLER AND DRIER AIR MASS WILL PUSH INTO THE REGION
BEHIND THE FRONT DURING THE WEEKEND AND PERSIST INTO EARLY NEXT
WEEK.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM THIS MORNING/...
ISOLATED SEVERE CONVECTION ONGOING ACROSS THE FORECAST AREA IS
EVIDENCE OF THE INFLUENCE OF SHORTWAVE ENERGY THAT CONTINUES TO
ROTATE ALONG THE BASE OF THE UPPER TROUGH OVERNIGHT. MESOSCALE
BOUNDARY INTERACTIONS HAS ALLOWED THUNDERSTORMS TO INTENSIFY AND
PERSIST...SHIFTING NEARLY DUE EAST TOWARD THE COASTLINE. AS MUCH
OF THIS NOCTURNAL CONVECTION IS NOW BEING DRIVEN BY BOUNDARY
INTERACTIONS...THERE REMAINS MUCH UNCERTAINTY REGARDING COVERAGE
THROUGH THE EARLY MORNING HOURS. MOST MODEL SOLUTIONS SUGGEST A
GENERAL EASTWARD TREND OF THE MAIN STORM CELLS...WITH ISOLATED
CONVECTION POSSIBLY INITIATING OVER THE WATERS TOWARD DAYBREAK.
HAVE PREFERRED TO REMAIN RATHER GENERIC REGARDING POP TRENDS FOR
THE NEXT SEVERAL HOURS...INDICATING A SLIGHT CHANCE FOR
SHOWERS/THUNDERSTORMS OVER MUCH OF THE FORECAST AREA THROUGH THE
NEAR TERM.

CONSIDERING THAT CONVECTION COULD TEMPORARILY DISRUPT THE LOCAL
ENVIRONMENT...FOG POTENTIAL REMAINS QUITE UNCERTAIN. ALTHOUGH SOME
PATCHY FOG IS POSSIBLE IN SOME LOCATIONS DURING THE PRE DAWN
HOURS...FOG DEVELOPMENT COULD BE HIGHLY DEPENDENT ON WHETHER
THUNDERSTORMS HAVE HAD AN IMPACT. WILL THUS KEEP MENTION OF FOG
OUT OF THE FORECAST AT THIS POINT.

AT LEAST SCATTERED CLOUD COVERAGE IS EXPECTED THROUGH THE EARLY
MORNING...A COMBINATION OF DEBRIS CLOUDS FROM CONVECTION AND SOME
POTENTIAL LOW STRATUS DEVELOPMENT. HOURLY TEMPERATURES HAVE
GENERALLY BEEN ON TRACK...AND EXPECT LOWS TO RANGE IN THE LOWER
70S THIS MORNING.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 AM THIS MORNING THROUGH FRIDAY/...
A CLOSED UPPER LEVEL LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM WILL LINGER OVER THE OHIO
VALLEY ON WEDNESDAY...BEFORE WEAKENING AS IT GRADUALLY LIFTS
NORTHEAST INTO THE GREAT LAKES REGION WEDNESDAY NIGHT. MEANWHILE...A
SURFACE TROUGH WILL REMAIN IN PLACE INLAND OF THE FORECAST AREA MOST
OF THE DAY...BEFORE SHIFTING TOWARD THE COAST LATE. DEEP
MOISTURE...SHORT WAVE ENERGY PASSING ALOFT WITHIN THE BASE OF THE
UPPER LEVEL LOW...AND MESOSCALE BOUNDARY INTERACTIONS WILL SUPPORT A
CHANCE FOR SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS THE AREA...MAINLY
WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON INTO WEDNESDAY EVENING. A CONTINUED WARM
SOUTHERLY FLOW AHEAD OF THE TROUGH WILL SUPPORT HIGH TEMPERATURES
ABOVE NORMAL ONCE AGAIN WITH UPPER 80S PREDOMINANT ACROSS MOST OF
THE AREA. A SLIGHT COOLING TREND WILL START TO TAKE PLACE WEDNESDAY
NIGHT AS CLEARING BEGINS TO DEVELOP AS THE FLOW SHIFTS OFFSHORE.

THE UPPER LOW WILL OPEN UP INTO A TROUGH ON THURSDAY AS IT LIFTS
NORTHEAST INTO NEW ENGLAND AND EVENTUALLY GETS ABSORBED BY ANOTHER
LOW DROPPING ACROSS THE GREAT LAKES REGION. A WEAK COLD FRONT
ASSOCIATED WITH THE WEAKENING UPPER LEVEL TROUGH WILL SWING THROUGH
THE AREA ON THURSDAY...USHERING IN A DRIER AIR MASS WITHIN A WESTERLY
FLOW. THERE IS A LOW PROBABILITY FOR SHOWERS NEAR THE IMMEDIATE
COAST THURSDAY MORNING...BUT OVERALL CLEARING AND RAIN FREE
CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED DURING THE DAY. HIGHS ON THURSDAY WILL
REMAIN ABOVE NORMAL...GENERALLY IN THE UPPER 80S...WITH A DOWNSLOPE
FLOW BECOMING MORE OF A FACTOR THAN THE WEAK COLD AIR ADVECTION
ALOFT. TEMPERATURES THURSDAY NIGHT WILL DROP SLIGHTLY BELOW NORMAL
WITH GOOD RADIATIONAL COOLING CONDITIONS EXPECTED.

UPPER LEVEL TROUGHING WILL EXPAND SOUTHWARD ACROSS THE EASTERN U.S.
ON FRIDAY...WHILE AT THE SURFACE A REINFORCING COLD FRONT APPEARS TO
APPROACH FROM THE NORTHWEST. LIMITED MOISTURE WILL KEEP RAIN FREE
CONDITIONS IN PLACE ON FRIDAY. A LACK OF ANY SIGNIFICANT COLD AIR
ADVECTION WILL ALSO KEEP TEMPERATURES ABOVE NORMAL BUT SLIGHTLY
COOLER THAN PREVIOUS DAYS.

&&

.LONG TERM /FRIDAY NIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY/...
NUMERICAL MODELS SHOW RATHER STRONG DYNAMICS ON SATURDAY...AS THE
ELONGATED UPPER TROUGH CROSSES THE EAST COAST. COLD AND DRY HIGH
PRESSURE WILL MAKE A STRONGER PUSH SOUTHEAST INTO THE
REGION...INITIATING ROBUST COLD ADVECTION ACROSS THE MID ATLANTIC
AND SOUTHEAST STATES. WHETHER THIS DEVELOPMENT COULD BE CONSIDERED
ANOTHER FRONTAL PASSAGE IS STILL UNCERTAIN...HOWEVER THE MOST
CONSIDERABLE TEMPERATURE CHANGE IS EXPECTED TO OCCUR OVER THE
WEEKEND. HIGH TEMPERATURES COULD BE SUPPRESSED IN THE 70S WITHIN
NORTH/NORTHEAST FLOW AND UNDER ABUNDANT SUNSHINE. BELOW NORMAL LOW
TEMPERATURES IN THE 50S BOTH SATURDAY AND SUNDAY NIGHT WILL BE
THE COMBINED RESULT OF COLD ADVECTION AND DECENT RADIATIONAL
COOLING UNDER CLEAR SKIES AND DIMINISHING NOCTURNAL WINDS.

COLD ADVECTION WILL DIMINISH MONDAY AND TUESDAY AS THE CENTER OF
HIGH PRESSURE SHIFTS DIRECTLY OVER THE REGION. THIS WILL ALLOW
TEMPERATURES TO MODERATE SLIGHTLY...WHILE STILL REMAINING A
DEGREE OR TWO BELOW SEASONAL NORMALS. RAIN FREE WEATHER IS
EXPECTED TO CONTINUE INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK.

&&

.AVIATION /06Z WEDNESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/...
MAIN CONCERN FOR THE FIRST 6 HOURS OF THE TAF WILL BE ANY VSBY
REDUCTIONS TOWARD DAYBREAK. MODEL GUIDANCE DOES NOT SUGGEST
SIGNIFICANT VSBYS LIMITATIONS...AND SREF PROBABILITIES ARE NOT
INDICATIVE OF MUCH FOG DEVELOPMENT. WINDS HAVE DIMINISHED AWAY
FROM THE INFLUENCES OF ONGOING EARLY MORNING CONVECTION...AND WITH
DECENT LOW LEVEL MOISTURE LINGERING...CANNOT RULE OUT AT LEAST
MVFR VSBYS DURING THE PRE-DAWN HOURS. HESITATE TO INDICATE VSBYS
ANY LOWER THAN MVFR...AS NEITHER TERMINAL RECEIVED MUCH RAIN
TUESDAY AFTERNOON. WILL CONTINUE TO MONITOR TRENDS AND ADJUST AS
NECESSARY.

LATEST RADAR TRENDS SUGGEST THAT THE ISOLATED SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS
SHOULD REMAIN AWAY FROM THE TERMINALS EARLY THIS MORNING. ANOTHER
ROUND OF CONVECTION IS POSSIBLE AGAIN THIS AFTERNOON...AS UPPER
LEVEL ENERGY CONTINUES TO IMPACT THE AREA. WILL INCLUDE CB IN BOTH
TAFS AFTER 18Z...YET SUBSEQUENT SHIFTS MAY NEED TO INDICATE
EARLIER THUNDER POTENTIAL ONCE DAYTIME CONVECTIVE TRENDS BECOME
MORE EVIDENT. HAVE MAINTAINED VFR CONDITIONS AFTER DAYBREAK...HOWEVER
VSBYS AND CIGS WILL LIKELY BE REDUCED WITHIN ANY CONVECTION LATER
TODAY.

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

&&

.MARINE...
THE PRESSURE PATTERN ACROSS THE WATERS WILL FAVOR SOUTH TO SOUTHWEST
WINDS AROUND 10 TO 15 KT. SEAS HAVE DECREASED OVER THE LAST 24
HOURS OR SO...ALTHOUGH THERE IS STILL A SWELL COMPONENT AROUND 3 FT
AND 11 SECONDS BEYOND 20 NM. SWELL WILL BE PERSISTENT THROUGHOUT
THE OVERNIGHT BUT WILL BE ON THE DECREASING TREND BY WEDNESDAY
MORNING.

SOUTH TO SOUTHWEST FLOW WILL PREVAIL ON WEDNESDAY...THEN VEER TO THE
WEST ON THURSDAY AS A COLD FRONT SHIFTS INTO THE REGION. MODERATE
WEST FLOW WILL PREVAIL THROUGH FRIDAY...UNTIL A SECONDARY COLD
FRONT INITIATES STRONG COLD ADVECTION ACROSS THE REGION THROUGH
THE WEEKEND. WINDS AND SEAS ARE EXPECTED TO REMAIN BELOW ADVISORY
LEVELS THROUGH AT LEAST FRIDAY. ONCE STRONG HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS
FROM THE NORTHWEST AND PUSHES THE COLDER AIR MASS INTO THE FORECAST
AREA LATE FRIDAY INTO SATURDAY...WINDS WILL QUICKLY VEER TO THE
NORTH/NORTHEAST AND SURGE DOWN THE COAST. SMALL CRAFT ADVISORIES MAY
BE NEEDED FOR PORTIONS OF THE WATERS DURING THIS PERIOD FOR BOTH
WINDS AND SEAS.

RIP CURRENTS...A MODERATE RISK FOR RIP CURRENTS WILL BE MAINTAINED
FOR ALL BEACHES WEDNESDAY DUE TO ONGOING TIDAL AND LUNAR INFLUENCES
AS WELL AS A PERSISTENT 3 FT/9-11 SECOND SWELL.

&&

.TIDES/COASTAL FLOODING...
ASTRONOMICAL HIGH TIDES WILL CONTINUE THROUGHOUT THE WEEK...AND
AIDED BY OCCASIONAL INCREASES IN ONSHORE WINDS AND A LITTLE HIGHER
THAN NORMAL SURF...SHALLOW COASTAL FLOODING IS POSSIBLE...ESPECIALLY
ALONG THE SOUTH CAROLINA COAST.

&&
