AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE CHARLESTON SC
424 PM EDT THU APR 21 2011

.SYNOPSIS...
A COLD FRONT WILL STALL ACROSS THE AREA TONIGHT INTO FRIDAY BEFORE
DISSIPATING. ATLANTIC HIGH PRESSURE WILL REGAIN CONTROL SATURDAY
THROUGH THE EARLY OR MIDDLE PART OF NEXT WEEK. A WEAK COLD FRONT
COULD APPROACH NEXT WEDNESDAY NIGHT OR THURSDAY.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM FRIDAY MORNING/...
ISOLATED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS HAVE DEVELOPED THIS AFTERNOON
WITHIN A VERY WARM AND SLIGHT TO MODERATELY UNSTABLE ATMOSPHERE.
CONVECTION IS MAINLY DRIVEN BY DIURNAL INSTABILITY AND SEABREEZE
CONVERGENCE...AS THE BACKDOOR FRONT REMAINS JUST TO THE NORTH BY
MID AFTERNOON. CONVECTIVE COVERAGE IS UNCERTAIN FOR THE NEAR
TERM...WITH THE GFS SOLUTION WELL OVERDONE AND THE NAM SOLUTION
SUGGESTING ACTIVITY WILL RAMP UP IN THE NEXT FEW HOURS. PREFER TO
FOLLOW THE NAM AND LOCAL WRF GUIDANCE BY MAINTAINING SOLID CHANCE
POPS FROM ABOUT 21Z INTO THE EVENING HOURS...AS A STRONGER SERIES
OF SHORTWAVES WILL TRACK INTO THE REGION FROM THE WEST AND COULD
SUPPORT INCREASING THUNDERSTORM COVERAGE. CONSIDERING BOUNDARY
INTERACTIONS AND SOME UPPER SUPPORT FROM THE SHORTWAVES...CANNOT
RULE OUT AN ISOLATED STRONG TO SEVERE STORM THROUGH THE AFTERNOON.

BOTH THE GFS AND NAM SOLUTION INDICATE LINGERING RAIN CHANCES
THROUGH THE EVENING AND OVERNIGHT...AS THE COLD FRONT SHIFTS INTO
THE REGION FROM THE NORTH AND STALLS ACROSS THE FORECAST AREA.
CONSIDERING THE SHORTWAVE ENERGY TRACKING INTO THE ATLANTIC...AS
WELL AS DEEP MOISTURE WITHIN A BUILDING INLAND HIGH PRESSURE
WEDGE...WILL MAINTAIN A SLIGHT CHANCE FOR SHOWERS/WEAK
THUNDERSTORMS OVERNIGHT FOR MOST OF THE FORECAST AREA. CONFIDENCE
IN COVERAGE AND STRENGTH OF ANY CONVECTION AFTER SUNSET IS
LOW HOWEVER...AS THIS IS A CLIMATOLOGICALLY UNFAVORABLE TIME TO
MAINTAIN THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY LACKING STRONGER UPPER LEVEL
SUPPORT. UNDER THICK NIGHTTIME CLOUD COVER...LOW TEMPERATURES
WILL BE MILD IN THE LOWER 60S.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 AM FRIDAY MORNING THROUGH SUNDAY/...
A WEAK WEDGE OF HIGH PRESSURE IS EXPECTED TO SETTLE OVER SOUTHERN SC
FRIDAY MORNING. DEEP MOISTURE WILL POOL ACROSS THE AREA BUT THE BEST
ISENTROPIC LIFT IS PROGGED TO REMAIN ACROSS NORTHERN AREAS AND MORE
INTO THE SC MIDLANDS AND PEE DEE REGION. EXTENSIVE CLOUD COVER WILL
PERSIST AT LEAST DURING THE MORNING BUT SOME THINNING IS POSSIBLE
DURING THE AFTERNOON...ESPECIALLY ACROSS SOUTHEAST GEORGIA. DURING
THE MORNING WE ONLY KEPT SOME SLIGHT CHANCE POPS ACROSS NORTHERN
ZONES WITH SLIGHT CHANCE POPS EXPANDING SOUTHWARD DURING THE
AFTERNOON DUE TO THE POSSIBILITY OF SEABREEZE CONVERGENCE. FOR HIGHS
WE WENT A DEGREE OR TWO ABOVE GUIDANCE...ESPECIALLY IN SOUTHEAST GA
WHERE CONSIDERABLE SUNSHINE IS POSSIBLE.

THE 850 MB RIDGE WILL STRENGTHEN ACROSS THE SOUTHEAST STATES AND
ALLOW BERMUDA HIGH PRESSURE TO BUILD AT THE SURFACE. CONSIDERABLE
MID-LEVEL SUBSIDENCE SHOULD PRECLUDE MUCH OF A RAINFALL THREAT
THROUGH MIDDAY SUNDAY. WE ADDED A SLIGHT CHANCE POP ACROSS INTERIOR
SOUTHEAST GA SUNDAY AFTERNOON WHERE IT APPEARS ENOUGH LOW-LEVEL
INSTABILITY WILL COINCIDE WITH WEAKENING MID-LEVEL CAPPING. TEMPS
WILL BE BACK WELL ABOVE NORMAL BOTH SATURDAY AND SUNDAY. WE WENT
WITH HIGHS CLOSE TO THICKNESS VALUES AS THIS METHOD HAS BEEN DOING
MUCH BETTER THAN GUIDANCE RECENTLY. THIS YIELDS UPPER 80S FOR HIGHS
BOTH DAYS WITH LOWS IN THE LOW/MID 60S.

&&

.LONG TERM /SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY/...
WHILE THE RIDGING ALOFT WILL GRADUALLY BREAK DOWN DURING THE EARLY
AND MIDDLE PART OF NEXT WEEK...THE SURFACE AND LOW LEVEL RIDGE WILL
HOLD FIRM UNTIL TUESDAY OR WEDNESDAY. AT THAT TIME A DEEPENING
TROUGH LOOKS TO DEVELOP OVER THE CENTRAL STATES. IN RESPONSE AN AREA
OF SURFACE LOW PRESSURE WILL FORM OVER THE SOUTHERN PLAINS TUESDAY
AND SHIFT NE INTO THE OHIO VALLEY WEDNESDAY...AND INTO THE NE
STATES OR SE CANADA THURSDAY. AN ASSOCIATED COLD FRONT TRAILING FROM
THE LOW WILL PUSH INTO THE AREA LATE WEDNESDAY OR THURSDAY.

THE LACK OF SIGNIFICANT TRIGGERS AND DEEP MOISTURE WILL ALLOW US TO
MAINTAIN RAIN FREE CONDITIONS THROUGH TUESDAY...BUT DEPENDENT UPON
HOW MUCH GULF MOISTURE IS ABLE TO MAKE IT INTO THE AREA AHEAD OF THE
COLD FRONT...WE ARE LOOKING FOR AT LEAST SLIGHT CHANCE TO CHANCE
POPS IN ASSOCIATION WITH THE NEXT COLD FRONT.

ALTHOUGH UPPER HEIGHTS WILL BEGIN TO LOWER NEXT WEEK...850 MB TEMPS
CHANGE LITTLE. THUS WE WILL CONTINUE TO SHOW TEMPS ABOVE NORMAL
THROUGH THE LONG TERM PERIOD.

&&

.AVIATION /20Z THURSDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...
HAVE REMAINED SOMEWHAT CONSERVATIVE IN ADDRESSING THE SPECIFIC
COVERAGE AND TIMING OF THUNDERSTORMS THIS AFTERNOON...AS
CONVECTIVE INITIATION AND FRONTAL PROGRESSION HAVE BEEN SLOWER
THAN DEPICTED IN EARLIER MODEL SOLUTIONS. LATEST THINKING IS THAT
THUNDERSTORM COVERAGE WILL INCREASE CLOSER TO 20Z TO 21Z...WITH
HIGHEST CONFIDENCE THAT STORMS COULD IMPACT THE TERMINALS BETWEEN
20Z AND 00Z. FORECAST MODELS SUGGEST SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS
CONTINUING THROUGH THE EVENING AND OVERNIGHT HOURS. CONSIDERING
THAT THESE ARE NOT CLIMATOLOGICALLY FAVORED PERIODS FOR
CONVECTION...PREFER TO JUST DEPICT CB AT BOTH TERMINALS FROM 00Z
TO 03Z UNTIL CONVECTIVE TRENDS BECOME MORE APPARENT.

THE BACKDOOR FRONT IS EXPECTED TO MAKE PROGRESS SOUTHWARD THROUGH
THE EVENING HOURS...AND HAVE INDICATED WINDS GRADUALLY BECOMING
MORE EAST/NORTHEAST OVERNIGHT AS HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS INLAND. GUIDANCE
VALUES AND MODEL PROFILES SUGGEST THAT MVFR CEILINGS WILL LIKELY
DEVELOP AS LOW LEVEL FLOW TRANSITIONS SOLIDLY ONSHORE AFTER MIDNIGHT.
EXPECT IMPROVING CONDITIONS AFTER DAYBREAK FRIDAY...WITH CEILINGS
RISING TO VFR LEVELS. RAIN POTENTIAL FOR FRIDAY IS TOO UNCERTAIN
TO INCLUDE IN THE TAFS AT THIS TIME.

EXTENDED AVIATION OUTLOOK...THERE IS A CHANCE FOR A PERIOD OF
MVFR OR LOWER CONDITIONS AROUND DAYBREAK IN LOW STRATUS/FOG EACH
MORNING THROUGH MONDAY. SHRA AND/OR TSRA MAY ALSO IMPACT THE
TERMINALS FRIDAY AFTERNOON WITH A PERIOD OF MVFR/IFR VSBYS AND/OR
CIGS. OTHERWISE VFR WEATHER WILL PREVAIL.

&&

.MARINE...
SOUTH TO SOUTHEAST FLOW PREVAILS ACROSS THE WATERS THIS
AFTERNOON...WITH THE BACKDOOR COLD FRONT STILL LINGERING JUST TO
THE NORTH. THIS FEATURE IS EXPECTED TO GRADUALLY SHIFT INTO THE
REGION THIS EVENING AND OVERNIGHT...AS AN INLAND WEDGE OF HIGH
PRESSURE BUILDS FROM THE NORTH. EXPECT A SLIGHT NORTH TO NORTHEAST
SURGE AS THE FRONT PASSES AND THE GRADIENT TIGHTENS. THE MAIN MARINE
CONCERN WILL BE THE POTENTIAL FOR WINDS TO APPROACH SMALL CRAFT
ADVISORY THRESHOLDS IN THE CHARLESTON HARBOR AND SOUTH CAROLINA
WATERS NORTH OF EDISTO...CLOSEST TO THE TIGHTENING PRESSURE
GRADIENT. CONFIDENCE IS LOW IN THE TIMING AND DURATION OF ANY
ADVISORY LEVEL WINDS...ESPECIALLY CONSIDERING THE LACK OF
AGREEMENT BETWEEN FORECAST MODEL SOLUTIONS. PREFER TO CAP SPEEDS
AT 20 KT NORTH OF EDISTO AND 15 TO 20 KT IN THE CHARLESTON HARBOR.
AT THIS POINT...WINDS AND SEAS FARTHER TO THE SOUTH WILL LIKELY
REMAIN BELOW CRITERIA TONIGHT.

A WEAK HIGH PRESSURE WEDGE WILL RESULT IN E TO ENE WINDS ON FRIDAY
BUT THE LATEST GUIDANCE INDICATES THE PINCHING WILL BE RATHER
MINIMAL SO ONLY A MODEST BUILDING OF SEAS IS EXPECTED. ONSHORE FLOW
WILL PREVAIL SATURDAY THROUGH TUESDAY AS BERMUDA HIGH PRESSURE
BUILDS ACROSS THE WESTERN ATLANTIC. NO FLAGS ANTICIPATED.
