AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE CHARLESTON SC
700 PM EST MON JAN 10 2011

.SYNOPSIS...
LOW PRESSURE WILL PASS OFFSHORE TONIGHT. STRONG AND COLD HIGH
PRESSURE WILL BUILD OVER THE REGION DURING THE MID AND LATE WEEK
PERIOD KEEPING TEMPERATURES WELL BELOW NORMAL. THE WEATHER WILL
BECOME MORE UNSETTLED EARLY NEXT WEEK AS THE NEXT STORM SYSTEM
APPROACHES FROM THE WEST.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM TUESDAY MORNING/...
CONVECTIVE PRECIPITATION WILL EXIT THE REGION EARLY AS A MID LEVEL
DRY SLOT SWEEPS ACROSS THE REGION...LEAVING LOW LEVEL MOISTURE AND
LIGHT RAIN/DRIZZLE.

WELL INLAND...LIGHT FREEZING RAIN/FREEZING DRIZZLE WILL LEAVE ONLY
AN ADDITIONAL LIGHT GLAZE OF ICE. HOWEVER...DUE TO EARLIER HEAVY ICE
ACCUMULATIONS...TREE LIMBS/POWER LINES CONTINUE TO FALL AND ICY
SPOTS PERSIST ON BRIDGES/OVERPASSES. THUS...MAINTAINED THE ONGOING
WINTER STORM WARNING UNTIL 11 PM...AND ADDED BULLOCH/CANDLER
COUNTIES TO THIS WARNING. THESE WARNINGS COULD BE FOLLOWED BY
ADVISORIES OVERNIGHT.

ELSEWHERE...IN A SWATH OF COUNTIES FROM CHARLESTON THROUGH
BEAUFORT...SAVANNAH/SPRINGFIELD/HINESVILLE TO LUDOWICI AND
REIDSVILLE...PRECIPITATION WILL FALL MAINLY AS LIGHT/DRIZZLE THIS
EVENING. HOWEVER...TEMPERATURES WILL HOVER CLOSE TO FREEZING
THROUGH THE EVENING...AND POCKETS OF LIGHT FREEZING PRECIPITATION
CANNOT BE RULED OUT. OF GREATER CONCERN...AS LOW PRESSURE
INTENSIFIES AND PASSES OFFSHORE...WINDS WILL BACK TOWARD THE NORTH
AND WILL PUSH COLDER INLAND AIR BACK TOWARD THE S/E. THIS WILL
INCREASE TO POTENTIAL FOR FREEZING DRIZZLE AFTER MIDNIGHT...AND
WATER ON BRIDGES/OVERPASSES COULD TURN TO BLACK ICE. THUS...ISSUED
WINTER WEATHER ADVISORIES FOR FREEZING RAIN AND BLACK ICE FOR THIS
TIER OF COUNTIES THROUGH 11 AM TUESDAY.

ALONG THE GA COAST AND MCINTOSH COUNTIES...TEMPERATURES SHOULD
REMAIN ABOVE FREEZING...AND ONLY LIGHT RAIN/DRIZZLE ARE EXPECTED
TONIGHT.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 AM TUESDAY MORNING THROUGH THURSDAY/...
TUESDAY AND TUESDAY NIGHT...LOW PRESSURE OFF THE UPPER SOUTH CAROLINA
COAST WILL CONTINUE TO PULL NORTHEAST AND AWAY FROM THE AREA WITH
DRIER AIR WORKING IN FROM THE WEST. HOWEVER...LOW-LEVEL MOISTURE
WILL LIKELY LINGER MUCH OF THE DAY LEADING TO RATHER CLOUDY SKIES
WITH DRIZZLE AND POSSIBLY SOME LIGHT RAIN IN THE
MORNING...ESPECIALLY ACROSS SOUTHERN SOUTH CAROLINA. THERE COULD BE
POCKETS OF FREEZING DRIZZLE INLAND AS WELL WITH TEMPERATURES AT OR
JUST BELOW FREEZING. KEPT ON THE COOL SIDE OF MOS GUIDANCE...CLOSER
TO THE NAM MOS...WITH HIGHS LIKELY ONLY REACHING THE UPPER 30S
ACROSS INTERIOR AREAS WITH LOWER TO MID 40S ALONG THE SC COAST AND
UPPER 40S TO NEAR 50 ALONG THE CENTRAL GA COAST INLAND TO AROUND
HINESVILLE AND REIDSVILLE. TEMPERATURES WILL DROP INTO THE MID TO
UPPER 20S MOST LOCALES TUESDAY NIGHT WITH FREEZING TEMPERATURES
POSSIBLE ALL THE WAY TO THE COAST AS A BRISK WEST FLOW PICKS UP.
ALTHOUGH THERE SHOULD BE DECENT DRYING CONDITIONS THROUGH THE NIGHT
     ANY LINGERING WET AREAS WILL BE PRONE TO BLACK ICE.

WEDNESDAY THROUGH THURSDAY...TEMPERATURES WILL CONTINUE WELL BELOW
NORMAL THROUGH THE PERIOD AS THE COLD AIRMASS WILL BE MAINTAINED BY
THE CONTINUATION OF THE UPPER TROUGH. HIGHS WILL LIKELY REMAIN NO
WARMER THAN THE MID 40S FOR MOST LOCALES EACH DAY...ALTHOUGH SOME
UPPER 40S ARE POSSIBLE ACROSS SOUTHEAST GEORGIA THURSDAY. LOWS
WEDNESDAY NIGHT SHOULD DIP TO AROUND 20 DEGREES WELL INLAND WITH
FREEZING TEMPERATURES LIKELY ALL THE WAY TO THE COAST.

LAKE WINDS...MAY NEED AN ADVISORY FOR LAKE MOULTRIE TUESDAY NIGHT
THROUGH WEDNESDAY NIGHT DUE TO STRONG COLD AIR ADVECTION AND ELEVATED
LOW-LEVEL WIND FIELDS.

&&

.LONG TERM /THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH MONDAY/...
A BROAD UPPER TROUGH OVER THE EASTERN PORTION OF THE COUNTRY AND A
MODERATELY STRONG SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE WILL DOMINATE THE REGION
THROUGH THE END OF THE WEEK. CONTINUED COLDER THAN NORMAL WITH HIGHS
ONLY SLOWLY MODERATING THROUGH THE PERIOD.

LATEST RUNS OF THE GFS AND ECMWF HOLD BACK RAIN CHANCES UNTIL MONDAY
OR LATER SO HAVE STARTED A DOWNWARD TREND OF POPS BUT STILL KEEP
SLIGHT CHANCES IN BEGINNING SUNDAY. THE COLD DOMINATING SURFACE HIGH
WILL BE SHIFTING OFFSHORE ALLOWING A WARMER RETURN FLOW.

&&

.AVIATION /00Z TUESDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/...
ABUNDANT LOW LEVEL MOISTURE WILL PERSIST ACROSS THE REGION THROUGH
THE FORECAST PERIOD...RESULTING IN WIDESPREAD LOW CLOUDS AND
OCCASIONAL DRIZZLE AT THE TERMINALS. TEMPERATURES ARE FORECAST TO
FALL TO JUST BELOW FREEZING AT KCHS AND NEAR FREEZING AT KSAV. AS
A RESULT...THE TAF WILL INDICATE PREVAILING FREEZING DRIZZLE FROM
05-15Z AT KCHS AND TEMPORARY FREEZING DRIZZLE AT KSAV FROM 11-15Z
WHERE FREEZING TEMPERATURES WILL BE MORE MARGINAL.

IN GENERAL...IFR CEILINGS WILL PREVAIL THROUGH MUCH OF THIS
EVENING AT THE TERMINALS...BEFORE LOWERING TO LIFR LEVELS AFTER MIDNIGHT
AND PERSISTING INTO LATE TUESDAY MORNING. VISIBILITIES COULD ALSO
BE REDUCED TO MVFR LEVELS OR LOWER AT TIMES INTO LATE TUESDAY
MORNING. ONLY SLIGHT IMPROVEMENTS ARE EXPECTED BY AROUND MIDDAY
TUESDAY...WITH IFR CONDITIONS LINGERING THROUGH THE REMAINDER OF
THE FORECAST PERIOD DUE TO THE LOW CEILINGS.

A LOW LEVEL EASTERLY JET OF 35 KNOTS IS OCCURRING AT KCHS AT 2000
FEET BASED ON THE 00Z KCHS SOUNDING. GIVEN NORTHEAST SURFACE WINDS
AROUND 10 KT AT THE SURFACE...THERE APPEARS TO BE MARGINAL
SPEED/DIRECTIONAL SHEAR...AND HAVE LOW LEVEL WIND SHEAR IN THE
KCHS THROUGH 05Z...AT WHICH TIME THE JET APPEARS TO WEAKEN. MODELS
INDICATE THAT THE JET IS MUCH WEAKER ACROSS SOUTHEAST GEORGIA...THUS
NO MENTION OF LOW LEVEL WIND SHEAR IN THE KSAV FORECAST.

EXTENDED AVIATION OUTLOOK...IFR OR LIFR CIGS COULD PERSIST THROUGH
TUE EVENING. AFTER THAT...VFR CONDITIONS WILL PREVAIL. MARGINAL LLWS
POSSIBLE TUE NIGHT INTO WED MORNING.

&&

.MARINE...
HAZARDOUS MARINE CONDITIONS WILL CONTINUE...AS THE SURFACE PRESSURE
GRADIENT WILL REMAIN TIGHT BETWEEN OFFSHORE LOW PRESSURE AND INLAND
HIGH PRESSURE TONIGHT. UNTIL MIDNIGHT...MAINTAINED THE ONGOING SMALL
CRAFT ADVISORY FOR CHARLESTON HARBOR...AND GALE WARNINGS FOR ALL
OTHER MARINE ZONES. AS THE GRADIENT RELAXES SOMEWHAT...SMALL CRAFT
ADVISORY CONDITIONS WILL CONTINUE OUTSIDE CHS HARBOR THROUGH THE
OVERNIGHT.

WINDS AND SEAS ARE EXPECTED TO DIMINISH TUE BUT THEN RAMP BACK UP
TUE NIGHT AS STRONG COLD AIR ADVECTION ENSUES AND THE PRES GRADIENT
TIGHTENS BACK UP WITH THE APPROACH OF STRONG HIGH PRES TO THE W.
THIS PATTERN WILL MAINTAIN INTO EARLY THU AND THUS CONDITIONS WILL
BE NEAR OR ABOVE ADVISORY LEVELS THROUGH THE PERIOD...AT LEAST FOR
THE OUTER WATERS BEYOND 20 NM. HIGH PRES WILL GET CLOSE ENOUGH THU
TO DIMINISH THE PRES GRADIENT AND ALLOW CONDITIONS TO DROP BELOW
ADVISORY LEVELS BEGINNING THU AFTERNOON.
