Area forecast discussion, Apr 5, 3:37 AM EDT, 1 hour 12 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE CHARLESTON SC
337 AM EDT TUE APR 5 2011

.SYNOPSIS...
A STRONG COLD FRONT WILL MOVE RAPIDLY OFF THE COAST TODAY. HIGH
PRES WILL SHIFT OVER THE SOUTHEAST STATES MID WEEK...BEFORE
SETTLING OVER THE ATLC THROUGH THE WEEKEND. A COLD FRONT COULD
APPROACH FROM THE W EARLY NEXT WEEK.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 PM THIS EVENING/...
A COUPLE OF INTERESTING DEVELOPMENTS HAVE OCCURRED OVERNIGHT THAT
HAVE US CONCERNED FOR A POTENTIAL OF SEVERE WEATHER IN SOME OF OUR
FORECAST AREA PRIOR TO MID MORNING. THE FIRST IS THE TIMING OF THE
IMPRESSIVE QLCS/SQUALL LINE MOVED WELL AHEAD OF JUST ABOUT ALL OF THE
HIGH RESOLUTION MODELS AT 06Z. THIS ALLOWS FOR ENHANCED MOMENTUM
POTENTIAL DESPITE DIMINISHING MID LEVEL INSTABILITY AND WEAKER
CONVECTIVE PARAMETERS. MUCH WARMER TEMPERATURES AND DEW POINTS
HAVE BEEN ADVECTED N INTO S GEORGIA OVERNIGHT. THE SECOND ISSUE IS
THE NAM/RUC/HRRR DEPICTION OF A POTENT DIVERGENCE MAX AT 250 MB
RACING E INTO SE GEORGIA THROUGH 13Z THIS MORNING. A COUPLE OF THE
HIGH RESOLUTION MODELS WHICH SEEM REASONABLE BEYOND 1-2 HOURS SHOW
A CONVECTIVE ENHANCEMENT ACROSS AT LEAST THE SOUTHERN TWO THIRDS
OF THE FORECAST AREA...ROCKETING OFF THE COAST NOT LONG AFTER
SUNRISE.

A TORNADO WATCH HAS BEEN ISSUED FOR THE ENTIRE FORECAST AREA
THROUGH 14Z. WHILE MODELS CONTINUE TO WEAKEN CONVECTION TO THE
E OF I-95 AROUND SUNRISE...THE STRONG AVAILABLE SHEAR AND MUCH
MORE IMPRESSIVE THAN PREVIOUSLY EXPECTED SURFACE BASED ENVIRONMENT
SUGGEST THE PRE-FRONTAL CONVECTION WILL REMAIN STRONG TO SEVERE
AS IT APPROACHES THE COAST. THE HRRR MODEL WHICH WAS ONE OF THE
ONLY MODELS TO PAINT AN HOUR BY HOUR REALISTIC TIMING/STRENGTH
UPSTREAM CONVECTIVE PATTERN OVERNIGHT...SUGGESTS THAT THE STRONG
UPPER FORCING IN THE RIGHT REAR JET ENTRANCE REGION WILL ENHANCE
CONVECTION ON THE NOSE OF A WEAKENING STABILITY NOSE ALONG THE
CENTER PORTION OF THE FORECAST AREA THIS MORNING. THE INFLECTION
POINT OF THE CENTER OF THE LINE ECHO WAVE PATTEN ACROSS EAST
CENTRAL GEORGIA SUGGESTS THE EASTWARD ADVANCEMENT OF STRONG
UPPER DYNAMICS AND PROGRESSIVE RADAR TRENDS.

THE STRONG COLD FRONT WILL SWEEP OFFSHORE LATER THIS MORNING WITH
AFTERNOON CLEARING AND MUCH DRIER AIR MOVING INTO THE AREA. NO
SIGNIFICANT CHANGE TO FORECAST TEMPERATURES TODAY WITH READINGS
STRUGGLING TO TOP 70 AT MANY LOCATIONS. WE HAVE ALSO MAINTAINED
WIND ADVISORIES IN PLACE UNTIL THE FRONT/CONVECTION CLEARS THE
AREA. OVERNIGHT WE HAVE SEEN WIND GUSTS TO 40 MPH ALONG COASTAL
AREAS AND EVEN SOME GUSTS NEAR 40 MPH AT TIMES FURTHER INLAND
IN THE AXIS OF THE LOW LEVEL JET.

LAKE WINDS...A WIND ADVISORY ON LAKE MOULTRIE WILL LIKELY REMAIN
UP LATER TODAY AS A PURE LAKE WIND ADVISORY...JUST FOR LAKE
WATERS AND SHORES.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 PM THIS EVENING THROUGH FRIDAY/...
THE CENTER OF SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE WILL SETTLE DIRECTLY OVER THE
FORECAST AREA TONIGHT...WITH THE ASSOCIATED WEAK PRESSURE
GRADIENT SUPPORTING NEARLY CALM WINDS DURING THE EARLY MORNING
HOURS ON WEDNESDAY. THE LIGHT SURFACE FLOW AND CLEAR SKIES WILL
ENHANCE RADIATIONAL COOLING...AND EXPECT TEMPERATURES TO DROP INTO
THE MID TO UPPER 30S AWAY FROM THE COAST. DEWPOINTS WILL REMAIN
WITHIN 5 DEGREES OF THE AIR TEMPERATURE AT THIS TIME...SUGGESTING
A POTENTIAL FOR PATCHY TO SCATTERED FROST FORMATION ACROSS INLAND
LOCATIONS EARLY WEDNESDAY MORNING. WILL CONTINUE TO MENTION
PATCHY FROST IN THE FORECAST AND ADDRESS THE POTENTIAL FOR A FROST
ADVISORY IN THE HAZARDOUS WEATHER OUTLOOK.

THE SURFACE HIGH WILL RAPIDLY SLIP OFF THE COAST AND INTO THE
ATLANTIC ON WEDNESDAY. EXPECT AFTERNOON HIGH TEMPERATURES A
DEGREE OR TWO WARMER THAN TODAY...REACHING THE UPPER 60S TO LOWER
70S UNDER ABUNDANT SUNSHINE AND SURFACE WINDS VEERING TO THE
SOUTHEAST WITHIN RETURN FLOW.

UPPER LEVEL RIDGING WILL BUILD FROM THE SOUTH THURSDAY AND
FRIDAY...SUPPORTING A STEADY WARMING TREND THROUGH THE LATE WEEK
PERIOD. HIGH TEMPERATURES ON THURSDAY WILL REACH THE MID TO UPPER
70S INLAND...WHILE AFTERNOON TEMPERATURES ON FRIDAY RISE INTO THE
LOWER 80S ACROSS MUCH OF THE FORECAST AREA. OVERNIGHT LOWS WILL
ALSO BECOME MORE MILD...WITH NO RISK OF FROST WEDNESDAY NIGHT AND
ONWARD.

ALTHOUGH A SURFACE WAVE OF LOW PRESSURE WILL SHIFT FROM WEST TO
EAST ACROSS THE MID ATLANTIC STATES AND CAROLINAS ON FRIDAY...THE
ROBUST UPPER LEVEL RIDGE WILL LIKELY PREVENT ANY ASSOCIATED WEAK
FRONT FROM MOVING INTO THE AREA. AS A RESULT...WILL MAINTAIN RAIN
FREE WEATHER THROUGH THE SHORT TERM PERIOD...WITH PERHAPS JUST AN
INCREASE IN CLOUDS ON FRIDAY.

&&

.LONG TERM /FRIDAY NIGHT THROUGH MONDAY/...
STRONG UPPER RIDGING WILL REMAIN OVER THE REGION THROUGH MIDDAY
SUNDAY. THIS PATTERN WILL MAINTAIN RAIN FREE WEATHER AND HIGH
TEMPERATURES IN THE LOW TO MID 80S OVER THE WEEKEND...WELL ABOVE
SEASONAL NORMALS. THE AXIS OF THE UPPER RIDGE WILL THEN SLIP
FARTHER INTO THE ATLANTIC ON MONDAY AHEAD OF AN APPROACHING COLD
FRONT FROM THE WEST. SUBSEQUENT FORECAST SHIFTS WILL LIKELY
CONSIDER RAISING PRECIPITATION CHANCES EARLY NEXT WEEK...ONCE
MODELS SHOW BETTER CONSENSUS IN THE TIMING OF THE FRONTAL
PASSAGE.

&&

.AVIATION /08Z TUESDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/...
WE HAVE MAINTAINED VFR CONDITIONS THROUGH THE BULK OF THE FORECAST
PERIOD THROUGH 06Z WEDNESDAY...BUT THERE WILL BE ABOUT A 3-4 HOUR
WINDOW WHERE MVFR CONDITIONS AND POSSIBLY EVEN IFR WEATHER WILL
IMPACT THE TERMINALS WITH THE SQUALL LINE AHEAD OF THE FRONT
LATER THIS MORNING. THE MOST LIKELY TIMING OF THIS OCCURRING IS
FROM 10-13Z AT KSAV AND FROM 11-14Z AT KCHS.

OUTSIDE OF THE CONVECTION...WINDS WILL BE CAUSE FOR CONCERN. A
40 KT OR GREATER LOW LEVEL JET DOWN AS LOW AS 1-2K FT OVERNIGHT
WILL CROSS THE REGION. WHILE MUCH OF THESE WINDS WILL TRANSLATE
DOWN TO THE SURFACE AND KCHS TO KEEP GUSTY SURFACE WINDS
GOING...THE SURFACE WINDS AT KSAV HAVE BEEN SOMEWHAT RELUCTANT TO
FEEL THE LOW LEVEL JET. THUS WE WILL CARRY WIND SHEAR THROUGH
0730Z...WITH GUSTY SURFACE WINDS TO DEVELOP AFTER THAT TIME.
HOWEVER...PILOTS ARE STRONGLY ADVISED THAT IF SURFACE WINDS REMAIN
HESITANT TO INCREASE...THAT LOW LEVEL WIND SHEAR WOULD CONTINUE
LONGER.

WIND GUSTS WILL ACCOMPANY THE LINE OF CONVECTION LATER THIS
MORNING...WITH A BRIEF PERIOD OF WEST AND SW WINDS GUSTING TO NEAR
30 KT WITH ITS PASSAGE. IN WAKE OF THE COLD FRONT SURFACE WINDS
WILL VEER AROUND TO THE NW...AND WITH DEEP MIXING TO OCCUR...MUCH
OF THE 25-35 KT WINDS WITHIN THE BOUNDARY LAYER WILL MIX DOWN.
THUS WE LOOK FOR GUSTY SURFACE WINDS TO PERSIST THROUGH SUNSET
THIS EVENING. WINDS WILL DECOUPLE SIGNIFICANTLY AFTER THAT TIME.

EXTENDED AVIATION OUTLOOK...VFR.

&&

.MARINE...
A SPRING GALE EVENT TAKING PLACE ACROSS THE COASTAL WATERS...WITH
AN EXTREMELY TIGHT PRES GRADIENT TO CONTINUE ACROSS THE WATERS
OVERNIGHT. WE ARE LOOKING AT ABOUT A 4 MB SPREAD FROM NW TO SE
ACROSS THE AREA AHEAD OF A STRONG COLD FRONT...AND THAT ALONG WITH
A 50-60 KT LOW LEVEL JET ACROSS THE WATERS WILL LEAD TO THE GALES
OVER ALL BUT AMZ354. GEOSTROPHIC WINDS AT 1000 MB ARE AS HIGH AS
50 KT...AND WHILE WARM ADVECTION WILL LIMIT HOW MUCH OF THIS WILL
MIX DOWN...LOCAL FORECAST TOOLS SUGGEST THAT AROUND 60 PERCENT OF
THOSE WINDS WILL REACH THE WATERS SURFACE. THUS WE LOOK FOR
SUSTAINED WINDS AS HIGH AS 25-30 KT...BUT WITH GUSTS UP TO 35 KT.
SEAS WILL CONTINUE TO BUILD WITH THE SOUTHERLY FETCH...REACHING
AS HIGH AS 7-9 FT OVER THE ATLANTIC...WITH PERHAPS EVEN SOME 10
FOOTERS POSSIBLE ACROSS AMZ350-374. EVEN WAVES IN CHARLESTON
HARBOR WILL BUILD TO 3 FT. CONDITIONS WILL REMAIN IN SCA LEVELS
THIS AFTERNOON POST FRONT...BUT WE THINK GALES WILL BE ABLE TO
BE LOWERED AFTER THE PASSAGE.

MARINE CONDITIONS WILL BE IMPROVING TONIGHT...AS SURFACE HIGH
PRESSURE SETTLES OVER THE REGION. ATLANTIC HIGH PRESSURE WILL THEN
DOMINATE THE WEATHER PATTERN THROUGH LATE WEEK. WINDS AND SEAS ARE
EXPECTED TO REMAIN BELOW SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY THRESHOLDS.

&&

.TIDES/COASTAL FLOODING...
HIGH SURF...STRONG S WINDS WILL CREATE BREAKERS AS HIGH AS 5-6 FT IN
THE SURF ZONE ON MOST SC BEACHES INTO MID MORNING. THUS...A
HIGH SURF ADVISORY CONTINUES FOR THE SC COAST FROM BEAUFORT COUNTY
NORTH THROUGH CHARLESTON COUNTY. ALSO...THE HIGH SURF COULD CREATE
BEACH EROSION AROUND THE TIMES OF HIGH TIDE DURING THE MIDDLE OF
THIS MORNING.

RIP CURRENTS...STRONG WINDS WILL CONTRIBUTE TO A LINGERING
MODERATE RISK FOR RIP CURRENTS ON SOUTH CAROLINA BEACHES TODAY.
PERHAPS THE THREAT WILL RELAX WITH OFFSHORE WINDS DURING THE
AFTERNOON.

&&

.CHS WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
GA...NONE.
SC...WIND ADVISORY UNTIL NOON EDT TODAY FOR SCZ044-045-048>050-052.
     HIGH SURF ADVISORY UNTIL NOON EDT TODAY FOR SCZ048>050.
