AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE CHARLESTON SC
1136 AM EDT SUN MAR 27 2011

.SYNOPSIS...
A SERIES OF WEAK LOW PRESSURE SYSTEMS WILL MOVE EAST ALONG A
LINGERING FRONT TODAY. THE FRONT IS EXPECTED TO PUSH SOUTH
TONIGHT...AS COLDER HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS TO THE NORTH. HIGH
PRESSURE WILL REMAIN NORTH OF THE AREA EARLY NEXT WEEK...BEFORE
ANOTHER SERIES OF LOW PRESSURE SYSTEMS IMPACT THE REGION DURING THE
MID TO LATE WEEK TIME FRAME. HIGH PRESSURE IS THEN EXPECTED TO
BUILD BACK INTO THE AREA NEXT WEEKEND.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 PM THIS EVENING/...
A COLD FRONT STRETCHES FROM CENTRAL GEORGIA EASTWARD THROUGH
SOUTHERN SOUTH CAROLINA THIS MORNING. THE REMNANTS OF A MESOSCALE
CONVECTIVE COMPLEX CONTINUE TO TRACK INTO THE NORTHERN SOUTH
CAROLINA ZONES THIS HOUR...WHILE STRONGER CONVECTION TO THE WEST
IS RAPIDLY TRACKING ALONG THE LINGERING FRONT. A SEVERE THUNDERSTORM
WATCH HAS BEEN ISSUED FOR THE ENTIRE FORECAST AREA THROUGH THE
AFTERNOON...AS THE ENVIRONMENT REMAINS CONDUCIVE FOR STRONG TO
SEVERE CONVECTION TODAY.

THE MAIN FOCUS FOR DEVELOPMENT WILL BE THE AFOREMENTIONED
BOUNDARY...WHICH WILL GRADUALLY SLIP SOUTHWARD LATER TODAY AND
INTO TONIGHT. SOUTH OF THE DESCENDING FRONT...CONDITIONS WILL WARM
INTO THE UPPER 70S TO LOWER 80S...WITH DEWPOINTS POTENTIALLY STAYING
IN MID TO UPPER 60S. DECENT INSTABILITY ACROSS SOUTHEAST
GEORGIA...COMBINED WITH DEEP LAYERED SHEAR...SUGGEST ORGANIZED
STRONG THUNDERSTORM DEVELOPMENT IS POSSIBLE. NUMEROUS MESOSCALE
BOUNDARIES AND THE SEABREEZE COULD INTERACT WITH THE SYNOPTIC
SCALE FRONT TO PROVIDE ADDITIONAL CONVERGENCE AND FOCI FOR
CONVECTIVE DEVELOPMENT. AT THIS POINT...THE MAIN HAZARDS WILL BE
DAMAGING WINDS AND LARGE HAIL. A UNIDIRECTIONAL WIND PROFILE WOULD
SUGGEST A LOWER CHANCE OF TORNADOES...HOWEVER CANNOT RULE OUT AN
ISOLATED TORNADO IF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS PERSISTENTLY TRACK ALONG
BOUNDARIES.

WILL NEED TO CLOSELY MONITOR THE PLACEMENT AND MOVEMENT OF THE
FRONT THROUGH THE AFTERNOON HOURS...AS MUCH OF THE SENSIBLE
WEATHER IMPACTS WILL BE HIGHLY DEPENDENT ON THIS FEATURE. EXPECT A
SIGNIFICANT TEMPERATURE GRADIENT ON EITHER SIDE OF THE
FRONT...WITH INLAND SOUTH CAROLINA ZONES STRUGGLING TO GET OUT OF
THE 60 DEGREE RANGE THIS AFTERNOON AND FAR SOUTHEAST GEORGIA
COUNTIES RISING TO NEAR 80 DEGREES. IN ADDITION...CLOUD COVER
TRENDS WILL ALSO NEED TO BE MONITORED...AS THICKENING SKY COVER
COULD SLOW WARMING AND DESTABILIZATION.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 PM THIS EVENING THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
THE WEDGE FRONT WILL SAG SOUTH TONIGHT...WITH THE NAM MOST
AGGRESSIVE AND COLDEST IN ITS WAKE. CONVECTION MAY STILL BE
ROBUST IN THE EARLY EVENING IN PARTS OF SE GEORGIA...THEN LIGHTER
SCATTERED RAINS ARE POSSIBLE LATE. SHALLOW COLD AIR ADVECTION
LOOKS IMPRESSIVE AND VERY LITTLE CHANGE TO PREVIOUS TEMPERATURE
TRENDS AND NUMBERS.

MODEL SOLUTIONS ARE IN LESS THAN DESIRABLE AGREEMENT THROUGH THE
SHORT TERM PERIODS THIS MORNING...LEADING TO LOWER THAN NORMAL
FORECAST CONFIDENCE. A STRONG HIGH PRESSURE WEDGE IS EXPECTED TO
REMAIN OVER THE REGION MONDAY AND MONDAY NIGHT AS HIGH PRESSURE
BUILDS NORTH OF THE AREA. WILL NEED TO KEEP CHANCE POPS GOING ACROSS
THE FORECAST AREA THROUGH THE DAY MONDAY AS DEEP MOISTURE WILL BE
SLOW TO MOVE OUT OF THE REGION DESPITE THE DEVELOPING WEDGE OF HIGH
PRESSURE IN THE LEE OF THE APPALACHIANS. EXPECT HIGHEST RAIN
PROBABILITIES MONDAY MORNING...WITH DIMINISHING RAIN CHANCES DURING
THE AFTERNOON. SHOULD SEE RAIN FREE CONDITIONS MONDAY NIGHT AS THE
DEEPEST MOISTURE AND BEST FORCING SHIFT OFFSHORE.

THE HIGH PRESSURE WEDGE SHOULD SLOWLY BREAK DOWN/ERODE ON
TUESDAY...WITH A STORM SYSTEM THEN APPROACHING FROM THE WEST TUESDAY
NIGHT AND WEDNESDAY. WILL KEEP THE FORECAST RAIN FREE ON
TUESDAY...THEN CARRY CHANCE POPS TUESDAY NIGHT AND WEDNESDAY AS DEEP
MOISTURE AND STRONGER FORCING FOR ASCENT OVERSPREAD THE AREA ONCE
AGAIN.

AS FOR TEMPERATURES...EXPECT QUITE A RANGE IN TEMPERATURES ACROSS
THE AREA ON MONDAY WITH HIGHS RANGING FROM AROUND 50 TO THE LOWER
50S ACROSS NORTHERN ZONES...TO THE UPPER 60S TO AROUND 70 ALONG THE
ALTAMAHA. LOWS MONDAY NIGHT WILL BOTTOM OUT AROUND 40 TO THE LOWER
40S INLAND...AND IN THE LOWER TO MIDDLE 40S CLOSER TO THE COAST.
HIGHS TUESDAY WILL BE QUITE TRICKY TO PIN DOWN AND WILL BE HIGHLY
DEPENDENT ON HOW QUICKLY THE WEDGE OF HIGH PRESSURE IS ABLE TO BREAK
DOWN. FOR NOW WILL KEEP HIGHS GENERALLY IN THE UPPER 60S AREA WIDE.
LOWS TUESDAY NIGHT SHOULD BOTTOM OUT IN THE 40S MOST LOCALES...WITH
HIGHS WEDNESDAY REBOUNDING INTO THE LOWER AND MIDDLE 70S.

&&

.LONG TERM /WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY/...
QUITE A BIT OF UNCERTAINTY CONTINUES TO PLAGUE THE EXTENDED FORECAST
DUE TO LARGE MODEL INCONSISTENCIES. OVERALL...EXPECT AN UNSETTLED
PATTERN WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY AS A SERIES OF LOW PRESSURE
SYSTEMS IMPACT THE LOCAL AREA...AND WILL CARRY CHANCE POPS AREA
WIDE. WILL KEEP THE FORECAST OPTIMISTIC AT THIS POINT OVER THE
UPCOMING WEEKEND...MAINTAINING RAIN FREE CONDITIONS AS HIGH
PRESSURE BUILDS BACK INTO THE REGION. TEMPERATURES ARE GENERALLY
EXPECTED TO MEANDER WITHIN A FEW DEGREES EITHER SIDE OF CLIMO
THROUGHOUT THE EXTENDED PERIODS.

&&

.AVIATION /15Z SUNDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/...
HIGH RESOLUTION MODEL DATA SHOWS CEILINGS SHOULD BE DECREASING TO
LOW END MVFR AT KCHS AS THE DAY PROGRESSES...WITH INCREASING
POTENTIAL FOR CONVECTIVE RAINS. AT KSAV...DETERIORATING CONDITIONS
LATER TODAY SHOULD BE DIRECTLY DRIVEN BY CONVECTION...PRIOR TO ANY
BACKDOOR FRONTAL PASSAGE LATE DAY.

BOTH TERMINALS WILL SEE MORE CONVECTION TODAY...YET TIMING REMAINS
A BIT QUESTIONABLE. THE BEST CHANCE FOR SIGNIFICANT CONVECTION
WITH SOME SEVERE POTENTIAL WILL BE AT KSAV LATER TODAY...BUT HAIL
AND WIND RISK AT KCHS CANNOT BE RULED OUT.

TONIGHT...IFR/LIFR CIGS WILL EXPAND OVER THE COASTAL CORRIDOR WITH
VSBYS PROBABLY MVFR RANGES.

EXTENDED AVIATION OUTLOOK...MVFR/IFR CONDITIONS ARE LIKELY THROUGH
MUCH OF THE WEEK. IFR CONDITIONS ARE LIKELY MONDAY AND MONDAY
NIGHT...FOLLOWED BY MVFR AND PERIODIC IFR CONDITIONS TUESDAY THROUGH
THURSDAY NIGHT. SHOULD SEE VFR CONDITIONS RETURN ON FRIDAY.

&&

.MARINE...
A LINGERING FRONT WILL BISECT THE SOUTH CAROLINA WATERS
TODAY...WITH WINDS HEAVILY DEPENDENT ON THE LOCATION AND
PROGRESSION OF THIS FEATURE. WINDS WILL SHIFT NORTH TO NORTHEAST
OFF CHARLESTON COUNTY FIRST...WHILE SOUTHWEST FLOW IS MORE
PERSISTENT CLOSER TO THE SAVANNAH RIVER ENTRANCE. SOUTHWEST TO
WEST WINDS SHOULD PERSIST ALL DAY TO THE SOUTH OF SAVANNAH...AROUND
GRAYS REEF. THE COLD FRONT COULD SUPPORT SOME SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY
CONDITIONS ALONG THE SOUTH CAROLINA COAST TONIGHT IF A FEW OF THE
MODEL PINCHING TRENDS ARE CORRECT. CONFIDENCE REMAINS LOW DUE TO
FAIRLY SIGNIFICANT MODEL DISCREPANCIES. NORTHEAST WINDS SHOULD REACH
THE ALTAMAHA RIVER REGION AFTER MIDNIGHT TONIGHT...WITH LATE NIGHT
SURGES TO AT LEAST 15 KT. ELSEWHERE TONIGHT...CLOSE TO 20 KT IS
LIKELY WITH SEAS BUILDING TO 3 TO 5 FT...HIGHER WELL OFFSHORE.

HIGH PRESSURE WILL BUILD NORTH OF THE WATERS MONDAY THROUGH
TUESDAY...BEFORE A SERIES OF LOW PRESSURE SYSTEMS TRACK THROUGH THE
AREA WEDNESDAY AND THURSDAY. HIGH PRESSURE IS THEN EXPECTED TO BUILD
BACK INTO THE REGION FOR FRIDAY. PERSISTENT NORTHEAST FLOW WILL
LIKELY RESULT IN SEAS REACHING SMALL CRAFT THRESHOLDS ACROSS THE
OUTER GEORGIA WATERS MONDAY AND CONTINUING THROUGH TUESDAY NIGHT.
ACROSS THE NEARSHORE WATERS...SEAS MAY BRIEFLY APPROACH ADVISORY
LEVELS MONDAY NIGHT AND TUESDAY. WINDS AND SEAS ARE THEN EXPECTED TO
REMAIN BELOW SMALL CRAFT LEVELS WEDNESDAY THROUGH FRIDAY FOR ALL
WATERS.
