AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE CHARLESTON SC
732 PM EDT THU OCT 13 2011

.SYNOPSIS...
A STRONG COLD FRONT WILL CROSS THE REGION TONIGHT...FOLLOWED BY
DRY HIGH PRESSURE THROUGH EARLY NEXT WEEK. ANOTHER COLD FRONT
COULD MOVE INTO THE AREA DURING THE MIDDLE OF THE WEEK.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM FRIDAY MORNING/...
AHEAD OF A STRONG SHORTWAVE TROUGH AND ASSOCIATED SURFACE COLD FRONT...
SHOWERS/THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS INLAND COUNTIES WILL CONTINUE
ADVANCE THROUGH THE FORECAST AREA THIS EVENING. A DAMAGING WIND
THREAT/ISOLATED LARGE HAIL THREAT WILL PERSIST ACROSS WESTERN
COUNTIES AS 0-6 KM BULK SHEAR 40-50 KT...INCREASING MID LEVEL
WINDS...DOWNDRAFT CAPES APPROACHING 1000 J/KG AND FAVORABLE WET
BULB ZERO HEIGHTS/COOLING MID LEVELS WILL CONTINUE TO SUPPORT
BOWING SEGMENTS/OCCASIONAL SUPERCELL STRUCTURES. PRE-CONVECTIVE
INSTABILITY IS NOT STRONG...AND DIURNAL STABILIZATION SHOULD
TRANSLATE TO A DIMINISHING DAMAGING WIND/LARGE HAIL THREAT
WITH TIME/EASTWARD PROGRESSION OF THUNDERSTORMS THIS EVENING.
EVEN WITH A WEAKENING TREND...CENTRAL/EASTERN COUNTIES CAN EXPECT
GUSTY WINDS AND SMALL HAIL IN STRONG THUNDERSTORMS.

EARLIER ONSET OF SHOWERS/THUNDERSTORMS SHOULD TRANSLATE TO AN
EARLIER END TO PRECIPITATION/DRYING IN THE WAKE OF COLD FROPA
OVERNIGHT/EARLY FRIDAY.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 AM FRIDAY MORNING THROUGH SUNDAY/...
THE COLD FRONT WILL RAPIDLY SHIFT INTO THE ATLANTIC BY FRIDAY
MORNING...AS THE AXIS OF THE UPPER LEVEL TROUGH SWINGS ACROSS THE
REGION AND LIFTS NORTHEAST. NEGATIVE VORTICITY ADVECTION WILL SLIP
INTO THE SOUTHEAST STATES BEHIND THE TROUGH AXIS...WHILE DRY
SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE ALSO PRESSES EAST INTO THE FORECAST AREA.
EXPECT RAIN CHANCES TO BE NEAR ZERO BY MID MORNING FRIDAY UNDER
CLEARING SKIES.

THE SURFACE HIGH WILL HAVE ORIGINATED FROM THE LEEWARD SIDE OF THE
ROCKY MOUNTAIN RANGE...AND HAVING TRACKED ACROSS MUCH OF THE
SOUTHERN UNITED STATES BEFORE REACHING THE SOUTHEAST COAST...WILL
ONLY BE ASSOCIATED WITH WEAK COLD ADVECTION. DEEP LAYER FLOW WILL
HAVE A DOWNSLOPE COMPONENT...AND WHEN COMBINED WITH ABUNDANT
SUNSHINE...ANY EFFECTS OF COLD ADVECTION WILL LIKELY BE
MITIGATED. THUS EXPECT HIGH TEMPERATURES TO STILL REACH THE LOWER
80S AWAY FROM THE LOCALLY COOLER COASTLINE. BREEZY CONDITIONS WILL
DEVELOP BY FRIDAY AFTERNOON...AS DAYTIME MIXING TAPS INTO A
STRONG 25 TO 30 KT LOW LEVEL JET.

THE CENTER OF THE SURFACE HIGH WILL CONTINUE TO SHIFT EAST THROUGH
SATURDAY...MOVING DIRECTLY OVER THE FORECAST AREA AND THEN OFFSHORE
BY LATE SUNDAY. THIS PATTERN WILL SUPPORT A PERIOD OF DRY AND QUIET
WEATHER DURING THE WEEKEND. UNDER A WEAK UPPER RIDGE AND ABUNDANT
SUNSHINE...TEMPERATURES WILL GENERALLY RANGE A DEGREE OR TWO ABOVE
SEASONAL NORMALS...RISING TO AROUND 80 TO 82 DEGREES AWAY FROM
THE LOCALLY COOLER COASTLINE. AFTERNOON DEWPOINTS IN THE 40S TO
LOW 50S ARE INDICATIVE OF THE NOTICEABLY LOWER HUMIDITY BEHIND THE
COLD FRONT FRIDAY INTO THE WEEKEND.

PERHAPS THE MOST NOTICEABLE CHANGE IN TEMPERATURES WILL BE AT
NIGHT...AS LOWER HUMIDITY COMBINES WITH CLEAR SKIES AND
DIMINISHING WINDS TO SUPPORT IMPROVED RADIATIONAL COOLING
CONDITIONS. LOW TEMPERATURES WILL RANGE FROM AROUND 50 DEGREES
INLAND TO NEAR 60 ALONG THE COAST.

&&

.LONG TERM /SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY/...
A SHORT WAVE DROPS OUT OF CANADA INTO THE NORTHERN PLAINS EARLY IN
THE WEEK...EVENTUALLY DROPPING SE INTO THE OH VALLEY. SHORT WAVE
ENERGY DROPPING INTO THE BASE OF THE TROUGH WILL FORM A SURFACE LOW
OVER THE MID MS VALLEY OR THEREABOUTS EARLY NEXT WEEK...WITH AN
ASSOCIATED COLD FRONT TRAILING FROM THE LOW TO HEAD TOWARD THE AREA
BY TUESDAY. THE LACK OF MOISTURE AND ANTICYCLONIC FLOW AROUND THE
WESTERN EDGE OF THE ATLANTIC RIDGE KEEPS US DRY THROUGH TUESDAY. THE
FRONT THEN LOOKS TO PUSH THROUGH WEDNESDAY...BUT MOISTURE IS STILL
SOMEWHAT RESTRICTED SO WE WILL SHOW POPS NO HIGHER THAN 20 PERCENT.
THERE ARE INDICATIONS THAT THE STRONG HIGH BUILDING IN WAKE OF THE
COLD FRONT WILL BRING EVEN COOLER WEATHER BY THURSDAY OR NEXT WEEK.
BUT PRIOR TO THAT TIME...TEMPS WILL REMAIN NEAR OR ABOVE SEASONAL
LEVELS.

&&

.AVIATION /00Z FRIDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...
SHOWERS/THUNDERSTORMS WILL IMPACT KSAV BY 02Z AND KCHS 02Z-04Z.
EXPECT GUSTY/SHIFTING WINDS AND A RAPID ONSET OF IFR OR LOWER
CONDITIONS. SHOWERS AND VFR/OCCASIONAL MVFR CONDITIONS WILL THEN
PERSIST FOR A FEW HOURS AFTER INITIAL THUNDERSTORMS. THEN...IN THE
WAKE OF COLD FROPA...PREVAILING VFR CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED
OVERNIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY. MODEL SOUNDINGS DEPICT A SMALL CHANCE
FOR BRIEF MVFR CEILINGS INTO FRIDAY MORNING...BUT A DRYING TREND
SHOULD OFFSET THIS POTENTIAL FRIDAY...A DEEPENING MIXED LAYER WILL
SUPPORT WEST WIND GUSTS 20-25 KNOTS.

EXTENDED AVIATION OUTLOOK...VFR.

&&

.MARINE...
THUNDERSTORMS..PERHAPS WITH STRONG WIND GUSTS...WILL PUSH THROUGH
THE COASTAL WATERS LATE THIS EVENING INTO THE OVERNIGHT.

THE LOW-LEVEL JET WILL STRENGTHEN DRAMATICALLY THIS EVENING WITH
THE APPROACH OF A POTENT SHORTWAVE. THE BEST MIXING PROFILES WILL
BE OVER THE OUTER GA WATERS WHERE WE EXPECT SOME 25 KT GUSTS TO
DEVELOP BY LATE THIS EVENING. THE NEARSHORE WATERS COULD BE CLOSE
TO SMALL CRAFT AT TIMES DUE TO OCCASIONAL 25 KT GUSTS BUT WE HELD
OFF ON SMALL CRAFT ADVISORIES EXCEPT TO CONTINUE THE ADVISORY FOR
THE OFFSHORE GA LEG.

SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY WINDS IN THE OUTER GEORGIA WATERS WILL LIKELY
LINGER INTO FRIDAY MORNING. CONDITIONS IN THE SOUTH CAROLINA
ZONES WILL BE MORE MARGINAL...WITH OCCASIONAL GUSTS ABOVE 20 KT
BEFORE NOON. PREFER TO CAP WEST WINDS AT 20 KT FOR THESE ZONES
DUE TO UNCERTAINTY IN THE EXTENT AND DURATION OF ANY MORE FREQUENT
GUSTS. THE CHARLESTON HARBOR COULD ALSO SEE MARGINAL SMALL CRAFT
ADVISORY CONDITIONS DEVELOP DURING THE AFTERNOON HOURS...AS ROBUST
DIURNAL MIXING COULD TAP INTO A 25 KT LOW LEVEL JET. STILL PREFER
TO HOLD OFF ON ISSUING AN ADVISORY AT THIS TIME CONSIDERING
BORDERLINE CRITERIA AND UNCERTAINTY IN DURATION. DESPITE MODERATE
WIND SPEEDS ON FRIDAY...AN OFFSHORE FETCH WILL LIMIT THE HEIGHT OF
SEAS TO NO MORE THAN 3 OR 4 FT WITHIN 20 NM...AND 4 OR 5 FT
FURTHER OFFSHORE.

WITH SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE IN CONTROL OF THE WATERS SATURDAY INTO
NEXT WEEK...WINDS WILL HOLD MAINLY AT 15 KT OR LESS...WITH SEAS NO
MORE THAN 3 OR MAYBE 4 FT THROUGH TUESDAY. WINDS AND SEAS WILL
BUILD IN WAKE OF THE COLD FRONT DURING MID WEEK...AND ADVISORY
CONDITIONS COULD RETURN FOR WEDNESDAY AND THURSDAY.

&&

.CHS WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
GA...NONE.
SC...NONE.
MARINE...SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY UNTIL NOON EDT FRIDAY FOR AMZ374.
