AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE CHARLESTON SC
724 PM EST WED NOV 16 2011

...A FEW SEVERE STORMS STILL POSSIBLE THIS EVENING...

.SYNOPSIS...
A COLD FRONT WILL MOVE THROUGH THURSDAY MORNING...WITH HIGH
PRESSURE PREVAILING INTO SATURDAY. A WEAK COASTAL TROUGH WILL
FORM OVER THE NEARBY ATLANTIC THIS WEEKEND...BEFORE ANOTHER HIGH
PRESSURE CENTER BUILDS ACROSS THE REGION EARLY NEXT WEEK. A COLD
FRONT COULD THEN APPROACH NEXT WEDNESDAY.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM THURSDAY MORNING/...
UPDATED THE FORECAST TO INCREASE POPS AS THE LINE OF SHOWERS AND
STORMS MOVES IN FROM THE WEST AHEAD OF AN APPROACHING COLD FRONT.
STILL A THREAT OF SEVERE STORMS FOR THE NEXT SEVERAL HOURS BUT
WANING INSTABILITY SHOULD LIMIT THE CHANCES AS THE ACTIVITY HEADS
TOWARD THE COAST. OVERALL...RAIN CHANCES SHOULD DIMINISH WITH
TIME AS THE DEEPEST MOISTURE SHIFTS OFFSHORE BUT WILL CONTINUE
THROUGH THE NIGHT AS THE REGION REMAINS IN THE RIGHT ENTRANCE
REGION OF A STRONG UPPER JET. OTHERWISE...THE TORNADO WATCH
REMAINS IN EFFECT UNTIL 12 AM...ALTHOUGH WILL LIKELY BE CANCELLED
EARLY. IT WILL ALSO REMAIN BREEZY AT TIMES AHEAD OF THE FRONT AS
STRONG LOW- LEVEL WINDS MIX DOWN. EXPECT MILD LOW
TEMPERATURES...GENERALLY IN THE MID 60S.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 AM THURSDAY MORNING THROUGH SATURDAY/...
GENERAL MODEL CONSENSUS IS STILL INDICATING FRONTAL PROGRESSION OFF
THE COAST BETWEEN 12Z AND 15Z THURSDAY MORNING. HAVE KEPT CHANCE
POPS LINGERING THROUGH MID MORNING FOR LOCATIONS EAST OF INTERSTATE
95...ESPECIALLY AS A FEW FORECAST MODELS HINT AT THE POTENTIAL FOR
ADDITIONAL PRECIPITATION WITH THE PASSAGE OF THE MAIN UPPER
SHORTWAVE BEHIND THE COLD FRONT. BASIC INSTABILITY INDICATORS SUCH
AS SURFACE CAPE AND LIFTED INDICES SUGGEST MARGINAL INSTABILITY
COULD ACTUALLY BE FOUND ALONG THE COAST AT SUNRISE...AND HAVE
INCLUDED A SLIGHT CHANCE FOR THUNDER AS LONG AS RAIN CHANCES
CONTINUE FOR THE AREA. A DECENT COUPLED JET SIGNATURE CAN BE SEEN
IN MODEL FORECAST FIELDS THURSDAY MORNING...YET LATEST THINKING IS
THAT THE STRONGEST FORCING WILL STILL REMAIN NORTH OF THE AREA EVEN
AS THE FRONT PROGRESSES OFFSHORE.

SHOWER/THUNDERSTORM CHANCES WILL THEN DECREASE FROM SOUTHWEST TO
NORTHEAST FOLLOWING THE PROGRESSION OF THE FRONT AND SHORTWAVE
TROUGH...WITH POPS BELOW 15 PERCENT FOR ALL LAND AREAS BY 18Z
THURSDAY. COLD ADVECTION WILL INITIATE BEHIND THE FRONT DURING THE
AFTERNOON HOURS...AND EXPECT A DECENT NORTHWEST/SOUTHEAST TEMPERATURE
GRADIENT TO DEVELOP AS SOME AREAS BECOME LOCATED BEHIND THE FRONT
EARLIER IN THE MORNING. HIGH TEMPERATURES ON THURSDAY WILL BE
NOTICEABLY COOLER THAN PREVIOUS DAYS...PEAKING IN THE UPPER 60S
INLAND SOUTH CAROLINA ZONES TO THE MID 70S COASTAL GEORGIA.

A MORE SIGNIFICANT COOLING TREND WILL THEN OCCUR THURSDAY NIGHT
INTO FRIDAY...AS SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS ACROSS VIRGINIA AND
THE CAROLINAS. CLEAR SKIES AND DIMINISHING WINDS WILL SUPPORT AN
IDEAL RADIATIONAL COOLING ENVIRONMENT...AND WITH CONTINUED COLD
ADVECTION...EXPECT TEMPERATURES THURSDAY NIGHT TO FALL INTO THE
MID 30S INLAND TO THE LOW 40S NEAR THE COAST. SOLID NORTHEAST
FLOW ON FRIDAY IS EVIDENCE OF THE CONTINUED BELOW NORMAL
TEMPERATURES...WITH AFTERNOON HIGHS ONLY IN THE UPPER 50S TO LOW
60S DESPITE RATHER ABUNDANT DAYTIME SUNSHINE.

THE CENTER OF HIGH PRESSURE WILL SLIP OFF THE MID ATLANTIC
COASTLINE FRIDAY NIGHT INTO SATURDAY. FORECAST MODELS CONTINUE TO
DEPICT A WEAK COASTAL TROUGH DEVELOPING ALONG THE GEORGIA AND
SOUTH CAROLINA WATERS AS A RESULT. EXPECT AN INCREASE IN CLOUD
COVER COVER...ESPECIALLY ACROSS THE COASTAL COUNTIES...WITH LOW
LEVEL FLOW BECOMING MORE ONSHORE INTO SATURDAY. WILL MAINTAIN A
SLIGHT CHANCE FOR SHOWERS ACROSS THE MARINE ZONES WITHIN THE
SLIGHTLY ENHANCED MOISTURE CONVERGENCE OF THE COASTAL TROUGH...YET
PREFER TO KEEP POPS BELOW 15 PERCENT FOR LAND AREAS AT THIS TIME.

TEMPERATURES FRIDAY NIGHT WILL AGAIN BE QUITE COOL IN THE MID 30S
TO MID 40S. WANING COLD ADVECTION AND A WARMER EAST/SOUTHEAST LOW
LEVEL FLOW WILL SUPPORT A WARMING TREND BY SATURDAY...WITH HIGH
TEMPERATURES RISING INTO THE UPPER 60S TO LOWER 70S UNDER PARTLY
CLOUDY SKIES.

&&

.LONG TERM /SATURDAY NIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
THE COASTAL TROUGH WILL DISSIPATE EARLY NEXT WEEK...AS THE SURFACE
HIGH TO THE NORTH SAGS SOUTH ACROSS THE AREA. THIS PATTERN...ALONG
WITH ZONAL FLOW OR EVEN RIDGING ALOFT AND LIMITED MOISTURE...WILL
KEEP MEASURABLE POPS OUT OF THE FORECAST THROUGH AT LEAST MONDAY.
A BACKDOOR COLD FRONT WILL THEN APPROACH LATER TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY.
WHILE ZONAL FLOW ALOFT INITIALLY COULD PREVENT SHOWERS FROM IMPACTING
THE AREA...THERE MIGHT BE SOME SHORT WAVE ENERGY AND POOLING OF
MOISTURE NEAR THE FRONT ON WEDNESDAY TO SUPPORT SMALL POPS. TEMPS
WILL BE WELL ABOVE SEASONAL NORMS THROUGH TUESDAY...THEN TREND
CLOSER TO NORMAL WEDNESDAY WITH THE APPROACH OF THE FRONT.

&&

.AVIATION /00Z THURSDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...
VFR TO START BUT THE THREAT FOR IFR OR LOWER CIGS IS HIGH...ESPECIALLY
TOWARD MIDNIGHT...ALTHOUGH COULD BE EARLIER IF SHOWERS AND TSTMS
ARRIVE SOONER THAN THAT. OUTSIDE OF ANY HEAVIER SHOWERS AND TSTMS VSBYS
SHOULD REMAIN NO WORSE THAN MVFR DUE TO THE STRONG LOW- LEVEL
WINDS IN PLACE. MARINE SEA FOG SHOULD STAY OFFSHORE DUE TO THE
FLOW BECOMING MORE SWLY OVERNIGHT. ALSO...THESE STRONG WINDS OFF THE
SURFACE WILL LEAD TO LLWS DESPITE SURFACE WINDS AROUND 10 KT...AT
LEAST AT KSAV AND OUTSIDE OF CONVECTION.

EXTENDED AVIATION OUTLOOK...LINGERING MVFR OR LOWER CONDITIONS
POSSIBLY INTO EARLY THURSDAY AFTERNOON WITH ISOLATED TO SCATTERED
SHRA/TSRA IN ADVANCE OF THE COLD FRONT. VFR WEATHER WILL THEN
PREVAIL THE BALANCE OF THURSDAY THROUGH MONDAY.

&&

.MARINE...
TONIGHT...A COLD FRONT TO APPROACH THE WATERS WITH SOLID SWLY FLOW
IN PLACE AHEAD OF IT. EXPECT WINDS TO REMAIN MOSTLY BELOW SCA
CRITERIA DUE TO THE COOLER WATER TEMPS NEARSHORE. SEAS SHOULD
BUILD SLIGHTLY PUSHING INTO THE SCA RANGE FOR THE GA WATERS BEYOND
20 NM AND THE NORTHEASTERN PORTIONS OF THE CHARLESTON COUNTY
WATERS. DENSE FOG LINGERING MAINLY ALONG THE SC COAST THIS
EVENING...THUS THE ADVISORIES CONTINUE THERE.

THURSDAY THROUGH MONDAY...A STRONG LOW LEVEL JET ACROSS THE
WATERS IN THE MORNING WILL PULL AWAY BY THURSDAY AFTERNOON
FOLLOWING THE PROGRESSION OF THE COLD FRONT OFFSHORE. ALTHOUGH
THERE COULD BE A BRIEF LULL IN SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY CONDITIONS
IMMEDIATELY AFTER FRONTAL PASSAGE...PREFER TO EXTEND THE ONGOING
ADVISORY FOR THE CHARLESTON COUNTY WATERS THROUGH FRIDAY
AFTERNOON TO ACCOUNT FOR A RESURGENCE IN WINDS AND SEAS WITHIN
COLD ADVECTION BEHIND THE FRONT. THE OFFSHORE GEORGIA WATERS
WILL REMAIN UNDER A SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY THROUGH SATURDAY...AS
IDEAL FETCH MAINTAINS SEAS AT OR ABOVE 6 FT INTO THE EARLY
WEEKEND.

STRENGTHENING HIGH PRESSURE WILL BUILD EAST IN THE WAKE OF THE
FRONT...AND A TIGHTENING PRESSURE GRADIENT AND COLD AIR OVER THE
WARMER WATERS COULD SUPPORT AN EXPANSION OF ADVISORIES ACROSS ALL
ATLANTIC WATERS.

A WEAK COASTAL TROUGH COULD DEVELOP OVER THE WEEKEND...AND THIS
WOULD ALLOW FOR A SLACKENING OF THE PRESSURE GRADIENT. AS A
RESULT...WINDS/SEAS WILL FALL AND THE SMALL CRAFT ADVISORIES WILL
BE ABLE TO COME DOWN.

&&

.CHS WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
GA...NONE.
SC...NONE.
MARINE...DENSE FOG ADVISORY UNTIL 11 PM EST THIS EVENING FOR AMZ350-352.
     SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY FROM 10 PM THIS EVENING TO 5 PM EST
     SATURDAY FOR AMZ374.
     SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY FROM 10 PM THIS EVENING TO 5 PM EST
     FRIDAY FOR AMZ350.
