AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE CHARLESTON SC
659 PM EDT FRI MAY 13 2011

.SYNOPSIS...
THE UPPER RIDGE WILL WEAKEN OVER THE REGION THROUGH TONIGHT AS A
LEE-SIDE SURFACE TROUGH DEVELOPS OVER THE INLAND CAROLINAS. A COLD
FRONT WILL CROSS THE AREA LATE SAT EVENING FOLLOWED BY A SECONDARY
FRONT MON NIGHT. WEAK HIGH PRES WILL BUILD OVER THE REGION THROUGH
THE REMAINDER OF THE PERIOD.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM SATURDAY MORNING/...
RADAR SHOWS THE SEA BREEZE POISED TO MOVE INTO THE ALLENDALE-
TATTNALL CORRIDOR. ATMOSPHERE AHEAD OF THE BOUNDARY IS VERY
UNSTABLE WITH SBCAPES IN EXCESS OF 3000 J/KG WITH LI/S -6 TO -8C.
CONVECTIVE ACTIVITY WILL LIKELY INCREASE AHEAD OF THE SEA BREEZE
SHORTLY WITH AN ISOLATED SEVERE TSTM POSSIBLE. DCAPES NOTED OVER
1500 J/KG WITH LOW WBZ. UPDATED OUR GRIDDED AND TEXT FCSTS TO
INCREASE POPS SLIGHTLY TO 30 PERCENT WELL INLAND. ALSO MODIFIED
HOURLY POPS...CLOUD COVER AND TEMPERATURES TO BETTER FIT GOING
TRENDS.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 AM SATURDAY MORNING THROUGH MONDAY/...
THE UPPER RIDGE WILL QUICKLY BREAK DOWN BY SATURDAY MORNING AS A
BROAD TROUGHING PATTERN DEVELOPS ACROSS THE EASTERN STATES. THIS
TRANSITION WILL ALLOW SEVERAL POTENT SHORTWAVES TO ROTATE
COUNTERCLOCKWISE AROUND THE TROUGH AXIS SATURDAY THROUGH MONDAY.

ON SATURDAY THE FIRST SHORTWAVE WILL SWING ACROSS THE AREA BRINGING
POTENTIAL FOR SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS AHEAD OF AN APPROACHING
COLD FRONT. MOST MODELS KEEP MAJORITY OF THE AREA DRY DURING THE
LATE MORNING HOURS. HOWEVER...WITH INCREASING LOW LEVEL MOISTURE
PROFILES THROUGH THE DAY AND INCREASING INSTABILITY...HAVE
MAINTAINED HIGH-END CHANCE TO LIKELY POPS FOR SATURDAY AFTERNOON.
INSTABILITY FACTORS COULD INCREASE IF THERE ARE ENOUGH BREAKS IN
CLOUD COVERAGE DURING THE LATE MORNING HOURS. NAM AND GFS CONTINUE
TO SHOW DECENT LIFTED INDICES BETWEEN -4C AND -6C IN THE AFTERNOON
AS THE UPPER LEVELS COOL. THE STORM PREDICTION CENTER CONTINUES TO
KEEP THE FORECAST AREA IN A SLIGHT RISK FOR SATURDAY AND SATURDAY
NIGHT. EXPECT CONVECTION TO DEVELOP INLAND ACROSS SOUTHEAST
GEORGIA AND CONTINUE TO TRACK ACROSS THE CWA THROUGH THE
AFTERNOON. THEN THE BULK OF MOISTURE IS EXPECTED TO TRANSITION
NORTHEASTWARD MAINLY ACROSS SOUTHEAST SOUTH CAROLINA AREAS OF THE
CWA BY LATE AFTERNOON AND INTO THE EVENING. CONVECTION WILL THEN
LINGER INTO THE FIRST PORTION OF THE OVERNIGHT PERIOD AS
WELL...THUS HAVE SLIGHTLY INCREASE POPS ACROSS SOUTH CAROLINA
AFTER SUNSET AND PRIOR TO 03Z.

THE PASSAGE OF THE COLD FRONT IS EXPECT LATE SATURDAY NIGHT WHICH
WILL ALLOW WEAK HIGH PRESSURE TO BRIEFLY BUILD INTO THE AREA. THIS
WILL RESULT IN MUCH DRIER CONDITIONS ON SUNDAY. MODEL SOUNDINGS
SHOW DECREASING LOW LEVEL MOISTURE WITH PWATS DROPPING BELOW 1.0
INCH. OVERALL HAVE A DRY FORECAST FOR SUNDAY WITH THE EXCEPTION OF
THE TRI COUNTY AREA. HAVE CONFINED SLIGHT CHANCE POPS FOR THESE
AREAS AS LOW LEVEL MOISTURE WILL REMAIN JUST A SLIGHT BIT HIGHER
THERE AND A LINGERING ISOLATED SHOWERS COULD AFFECT THE AREA.

THE UPPER LOW WILL DEEPEN ON MONDAY AND SEND A FEW RIPPLES OF
SHORTWAVE ENERGY THROUGH THE CAROLINAS AND SOUTHEAST GEORGIA. A
FAIRLY DRY BOUNDARY LAYER WILL LIMIT LOW-LEVEL INSTABILITY BUT
ENOUGH DEEP LAYERED MOISTURE RETURN AHEAD OF THE SECONDARY COLD
FRONT MONDAY NIGHT SHOULD ALLOW FOR SCATTERED SHOWERS AND ISOLATED
THUNDERSTORMS PRIOR TO THE PASSING OF THE FRONT.

&&

.LONG TERM /MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY/...
AN ANOMALOUS TROUGH UPPER PATTERN IS EXPECTED TO CONTINUE MONDAY
NIGHT THROUGH ABOUT WEDNESDAY BEFORE UPPER RIDGING TAKES PLACE LATE
IN THE WEEK. FOR THE MOST PART WE HAVE A DRY FORECAST...WITH TEMPS
BELOW NORMAL TO START THE PERIOD BEFORE WARMING TO NEAR/ABOVE NORMAL
BY LATE WEEK.

&&

.AVIATION /00Z SATURDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
VFR CONDITIONS FORECAST THROUGH 18Z TMRW BUT CONFIDENCE IS NOT
GREAT THAT BOTH TERMINALS...PARTICULARLY KCHS...WILL ESCAPE
WITHOUT HAVING MVFR OR LOWER CONDITIONS EITHER THIS EVENING AND/OR
MIDDAY TOMORROW DUE TO CONVECTION. PRECIP CHANCES ARE LOW THROUGH
18Z TOMORROW...WITH AROUND 20 PERCENT CHC THROUGH TONIGHT THEN
INCREASING TO 40/50 PERCENT BY MIDDAY TOMORROW. WITH A SURFACE
TROUGH FORMING OVER THE INLAND CAROLINAS TONIGHT FOLLOWED BY AN
INCOMING COLD FRONT TOMORROW...CONVECTION MAY IMPACT EITHER
TERMINAL BUT CONFIDENCE TOO LOW AT THIS POINT TO EVEN HIGHLIGHT CB
DUE TO TIMING AND COVERAGE DIFFERENCES AMONG THE VARIOUS MODELS.
HAVE ALSO OPTED TO NOT INCLUDE FOG SINCE ENHANCED LOW LEVEL WINDS
WILL KEEP THE ATMOSPHERE MIXED ENOUGH TO PREVENT MOISTURE SETTLING
NEAR THE SURFACE.

EXTENDED AVIATION OUTLOOK...OCCASIONAL MVFR CONDITIONS SAT NIGHT.
SCATTERED SHRA/TSRA POSSIBLE MONDAY WITH VFR THEREAFTER.

&&

.MARINE...
WINDS WILL INCREASE ALONG THE LAND/SEA INTERFACE IN SOUTH CAROLINA
THIS EVENING INTO TONIGHT AS AN INCREASING SW LOW LEVEL JET IS
FORECAST. THE WARMER SHELF WATERS WILL ALSO BE CONDUCIVE TO THE
INCREASED WINDS...BUT ALL INDICATIONS ARE THAT WIND SPEEDS WILL
REMAIN BELOW SMALL CRAFT ADVY THRESHOLDS. THERE MAY BE THE
OCCASIONAL GUST IN THE 20-25 KT RANGE THIS EVENING IN NOCTURNAL
SURGING...BUT NOT FREQUENT ENOUGH TO JUSTIFY SCA HEADLINES. SWELL
WAVES CLOSE TO 3 FT WILL KEEP SEAS ELEVATED 3 TO 5 FT...HIGHEST
BEYOND 20 NM OFF THE COAST.

THE PRESSURE GRADIENT WILL TIGHTEN IN ASSOCIATION WITH THE
APPROACHING COLD FRONT SATURDAY. WINDS WILL REMAIN SHY OF SMALL
CRAFT CRITERIA WITH SEAS REMAINING CAPPED AT 4 TO 5 FEET AND GUSTS
GENERALLY MAXED AROUND 20 KNOTS. THE GRADIENT WILL REMAIN FAIRLY
TIGHT THROUGH MID WEEK AS A SERIES OF SHORTWAVES TRACK ACROSS
THE WATERS. STILL...CONDITIONS WILL CONTINUE TO FALL SHORT OF SCA
CRITERIA THUS AM NOT EXPECTING THE NEED FOR ANY SMALL CRAFT
ADVISORIES AT THIS TIME.

RIP CURRENTS...WE HAVE MAINTAINED A MODERATE RISK OF RIP CURRENTS
FOR SATURDAY...DUE TO 15 KNOT WINDS MAINLY ONSHORE WINDS...THE
UPCOMING PERIGEE AND MOST IMPORTANTLY SMALL 2 TO 3 FOOT SWELLS
EVERY 10-11 SECONDS. AN ELEVATED RISK MAY CONTINUE THROUGH THE
WEEKEND WITH CONTINUED SMALL SWELLS AND ADDITIONAL ASTRONOMICAL
INFLUENCES FROM THE UPCOMING FULL MOON.

&&

.TIDES/COASTAL FLOODING...
TIDES HAVE BEEN RUNNING BETWEEN 0.7FT AND 1.0FT ABOVE PREDICTED
VALUES AT BOTH CHARLESTON HARBOR AND FORT PULASKI OVER THE PAST
DAY OR SO. GIVEN THESE CONTINUED TRENDS...IT WOULD APPEAR THAT
FORT PULASKI WOULD FALL SHORT OF SHALLOW COASTAL FLOODING CRITERIA
BUT CHARLESTON WOULD RUN VERY CLOSE. HOWEVER...THE RECENT ANOMALY
TREND OVER THE PAST FEW HOURS HAS BEEN DOWNWARD DESPITE THAT
TIDES ARE STILL RISING TO THE HIGH TIDE EXPECTED TO OCCUR SHORTLY
AFTER 5PM EDT. CONFIDENCE IS TOO LOW AT THIS POINT AND WOULD
PREFER TO SEE HOW TRENDS EVOLVE AFTER THE HIGH TIDE CYCLE THIS
EVENING BEFORE POSTING A COASTAL FLOOD ADVISORY. WILL ADD ITS
MENTION TO THE HWO /HAZARDOUS WEATHER OUTLOOK/ FOR NOW AND LET
LATER SHIFTS EVALUATE TRENDS.

TIDES WILL CONTINUE TO BE RUN HIGH THROUGH THE WEEKEND INTO EARLY
NEXT WEEK DUE TO ASTRONOMICAL FACTORS. ALTHOUGH PREVAILING WIND
FLOW WILL BE FROM THE SOUTHWEST WHICH IS NOT USUALLY CONDUCIVE TO
EXTRATROPICAL SURGE...PERSISTENT LOW PRESSURE OVER THE EASTERN
HALF OF THE COUNTRY MAY ALLOW FOR A CONSIDERABLE SURGE. THUS
SHALLOW COASTAL FLOODING IS POSSIBLE AROUND THE TIMES OF HIGH
TIDE...ESPECIALLY THIS WEEKEND DURING THE EVENING HIGH TIDES AND
BEFORE WINDS BECOME A BIT MORE OFFSHORE.

&&

GA...NONE.
SC...NONE.
