AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE CHARLESTON SC
353 PM EDT SAT MAY 14 2011

.SYNOPSIS...
A COLD FRONT WILL CROSS THE AREA LATE TONIGHT. A COMPLEX MID AND
UPPER LEVEL LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM WILL PERSIST OVER OR NEAR THE
AREA THROUGH WEDNESDAY...BRINGING SEVERAL DISTURBANCES THROUGH THE
SE STATES. HIGH PRES WILL BUILD IN LATE NEXT WEEK.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM SUNDAY MORNING/...
THE LARGE ROTATING UPPER LEVEL LOW OVER THE OHIO VALLEY WILL
WOBBLE OVER THAT REGION THROUGH THE OVERNIGHT HOURS. ITS SFC
REFLECTION PUSHING INTO THE NORTHEAST WILL USHER A COLD FRONT
TOWARD THE SOUTHEAST COAST. AHEAD OF THE FRONT...CLUSTERS OF
SHWRS/TSTMS WILL CONTINUE TO DEVELOP MAINLY OVER CENTRAL AND
SOUTHERN GA AND MOVE TOWARD THE NORTHEAST. THE SHWRS AND TSTMS
MAY BE BRIEFLY ENHANCED BY SPOKES OF VORTICITY /UPPER LEVEL
SHORTWAVE DISTURBANCES/ ROUNDING THE BASE OF THE UPPER LEVEL LOW.
SOME OF THESE CLUSTERS WILL PUSH THROUGH THE AREA...ABLE TO TAP
SOME OF THE ELEVATED INSTABILITY OVER THE AREA. DEBRIS CLOUD COVER
FROM EARLIER CONVECTION HAS EFFECTIVELY HELD TOWN INSOLATION WHICH
HAS IN TURN HELD DOWN CONVECTION...SO COVERAGE IS NOT EXPECTED TO
BE ALL THAT GREAT THROUGH THE EVENING HOURS BEFORE STORMS
GRADUALLY DIMINISH. HAVE SHOWN HIGHEST POPS OVER SOUTHEAST
PORTIONS OF THE AREA AND NORTHWEST PORTIONS...TRANSITIONING
NORTHWARD OVERNIGHT THEN SHOWED THE DOWNWARD TREND IN POPS SUCH
THAT BY DAYBREAK IT IS EXPECTED THAT THERE WILL BE NO REMAINING
SHOWERS. STILL CANNOT RULE OUT AN ISOLD STRONG TO SEVERE
TSTM...BUT BETTER CHCS FOR SEVERE APPEAR TO BE FURTHER INLAND FROM
THE CHS CWFA.

WITH COOLER AIR MOVING IN LATE TONIGHT WITH THE COLD FRONT...MIN
TEMPS TONIGHT WILL BE A FEW DEGREES COOLER THAN WHAT WAS
EXPERIENCED LAST NIGHT. WILL LOOK FOR LOWS IN THE LOW 60S AWAY
FROM THE COAST AND MID 60S NEAR THE SHORES.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 AM SUNDAY MORNING THROUGH TUESDAY/...
SUNDAY...DEEP LOW PRESSURE WILL PERSIST ALOFT OVER THE OHIO
VALLEY...WHILE THE SURFACE COLD FRONT PUSHES INTO THE ATLANTIC
EARLY IN THE DAY. CONSIDERABLE DRY AIR ABOVE THE BOUNDARY LAYER
WITH A DRY TONGUE MOVING IN AND PWATS FALLING UNDER 1 INCH AND
SOLID NVA IN WAKE OF A DEPARTING SHORT WAVE SUGGESTS THAT A
RAINFREE FORECAST WILL OCCUR. ANY LINGERING CLOUDS NEAR THE COAST
IN THE MORNING WILL GIVE WAY TO MOSTLY SUNNY SKIES THE REMAINDER
OF THE DAY. ALTHOUGH 850 MB TEMPS ARE ONLY 10-12C...THIS IS
NEGATED BY PLENTY OF INSOLATION AND SOMEWHAT OF A WESTERLY
DOWNSLOPE OFF THE APPALACHIANS. THUS WE LOOK FOR MAX TEMPS IN THE
LOWER 80S ACROSS THE MAJORITY OF THE REGION. SUNDAY NIGHT WILL
FEATURE BELOW NORMAL TEMPS...WITH DECENT COOL AIR ADVECTION TO
MOVE IN AROUND THE DEEP CYCLONE ALOFT. READINGS WILL FALL TO THE
MID AND UPPER 50S INLAND AND TO THE LOWER 60S AT THE COAST.

FOR MONDAY AND TUESDAY THE DEEP CLOSED LOW ALOFT WILL REMAIN OVER
THE OH VALLEY...WITH THE MEAN ASSOCIATED TROUGH AXIS TO PERSIST
OVER OR NEAR THE REGION. A SERIES OF SHORT WAVES WILL ROTATE
AROUND THE LOW...WITH ONE STRONG SHORT WAVE WILL PUSH THROUGH
AROUND 18-21Z MONDAY...WITH ANOTHER SHORT WAVE FROM 21-24Z
TUESDAY. THE FIRST FEATURE MONDAY AFTERNOON COMES IN WITH AN
UNUSUALLY COLD POOL OF AIR ALOFT...WHERE 500 MB TEMPS ARE AS COLD
AS -18/-19C. ALTHOUGH THERE IS LIMITED MOISTURE AND SURFACE BASED
INSTABILITY...STEEP MID LEVEL LAPSE RATES AND THE STRONG DPVA WITH
THE SHORT WAVE WILL PRODUCE A SLIGHT CHANCE TO CHANCE OF SHOWERS
AND T-STORMS. WITH SUCH COLD AIR ALOFT WE COULD EXPERIENCE SOME
HAIL AND/OR GRAUPEL IN ANY OF THIS CONVECTION. ALTHOUGH THERE IS
LESS DPVA WITH THE LATE TUESDAY SHORT WAVE...500 MB TEMPS ARE
STILL DOWN AS LOW AS 17-18C RESULTING IN GOOD MID LEVEL LAPSE
RATES YET AGAIN. 20-30 POPS THOUGH WILL AGAIN RESULT...HIGHEST
NORTH...WITH LITTLE TO NO POPS NEAR THE ALTAMAHA RIVER. AGAIN
THERE IS A RISK OF HAIL AND/OR GRAUPEL. 850 MB TEMPS ARE AS LOW AS
7-9C BOTH DAYS...AND WITH CLOUDS INCREASING EACH AFTERNOON WE LOOK
FOR TEMPS TO GENERALLY REMAIN BELOW 80. THERE IS AN OUTSIDE CHANCE
OF SOME UPPER 40S ALONG THE NW TIER MONDAY NIGHT...BUT OTHERWISE
LOW TO MID 50S WILL BE COMMON AWAY FROM THE COAST.

&&

.LONG TERM /TUESDAY NIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY/...
UPPER LEVEL RIDGING WILL OCCUR WEDNESDAY THROUGH SATURDAY WITH
ATLANTIC HIGH PRESSURE BUILDING AT THE SURFACE. WE EXPECT MOSTLY
DRY CONDITIONS WITH TEMPS WARMING WELL INTO THE 80S BY LATE IN
THE WEEK.

&&

.AVIATION /19Z SATURDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/...
WILL LOOK FOR CONVECTION AT/NEAR BOTH TERMINALS THROUGH SUNSET
THIS EVENING. SOLID BATCH OF RAIN TO THE SOUTHWEST WILL CONTINUE
MOVING NORTHEAST BUT IS SHOWING SOME SIGNS OF DIMINISHING.
HOWEVER...SCATTERED SHWRS/TSTMS STARTING TO POP OUT TO THE W AND
NW WHICH IS SHIFTING E. AS THE AFTN PROGRESSES...COVERAGE OF THE
CLUSTERED SHWRS/TSTMS WILL INCREASE SUCH THAT THE BEST TIMING FOR
IMPACTING THE TERMINALS LOOKS TO BE ABOUT 14/20Z THROUGH 15/00Z.
CONDITIONS GENERALLY EXPECTED TO BE REDUCED TO MVFR. IFR
CONDITIONS ARE POSSIBLE...BUT CONFIDENCE NOT HIGH ENOUGH TO PUT
INTO TAFS ATTM AND WILL LET TRENDS DICTATE IF AMENDMENTS ARE
NEEDED. PRECIP WILL START TO DIMINISH ARND 15/03Z OR SO...THEN
SKIES WILL SLOWLY CLEAR OUT GOING THROUGH THE OVERNIGHT HOURS.
SHOULD WINDS DIMINISH MORE THAN EXPECTED...LOW STRATUS AND/OR
GROUND FOG MAY DEVELOP BUT WILL ONLY DROP VSBYS DOWN TO 6SM ATTM.
VFR CONDITIONS THEN EXPECTED TMRW AS THE COLD FRONT RESPONSIBLE
FOR THE PRECIP MOVES OFFSHORE.

EXTENDED AVIATION OUTLOOK...BRIEF MVFR CONDITIONS POSSIBLE IN
DIURNAL SHRA/TSRA MONDAY THROUGH TUESDAY. OTHERWISE VFR.

&&

.MARINE...
AS A COLD FRONT APPROACHES THE WATERS TONIGHT...SW WINDS WILL
GENERALLY AVERAGE CLOSE TO 15 KT WITH OCCASIONAL 15-20 KT WINDS AS
THE LOW LEVEL JET MOVES OVER THE WARMER SHELF WATERS. SWELLS FROM
THE LARGE LOW PRESSURE AREA IN THE ATLC ARE STILL HELPING PRODUCE
PERIODS OF 9-11 SECONDS AT AREA BUOYS...SO THESE SWELLS COMBINED
WITH WIND WAVES FROM THE SW WILL CREATE 3-5 FT WAVES OVER MUCH OF
THE MARINE AREA OVERNIGHT. AM NOT EXPECTING CONDITIONS TO ECLIPSE
SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY THRESHOLDS...BUT THERE MAY BE THE OCCASIONAL
GUST IN THE 20-25 KT RANGE OVER THE OUTER GA WATERS BUT ONLY OF
SHORT DURATION. CONDITIONS MAY SETTLE DOWN SLIGHTLY TOWARDS
DAYBREAK BUT NAVIGATION WILL STILL BE ON THE ROUGH SIDE NEAR
INLETS AND JETTIES.

THE COLD FRONT WILL SHIFT THROUGH THE WATERS EARLY SUNDAY...BUT
THE CIRCULATION AROUND SURFACE LOW PRESSURE OVER THE MID
ATLANTIC REGION AND SEA BREEZE INFLUENCES WILL KEEP WINDS SW
ACROSS THE LOCAL WATERS. SPEEDS WILL INCREASE TO AROUND 15 KT IN
THE CHARLESTON HARBOR AND THE CHARLESTON COUNTY WATERS LATE IN THE
DAY...WITH SPEEDS GENERALLY 10-15 KT ELSEWHERE. THE WAVE SPECTRUM
WILL BE COMPRISED OF BOTH WIND DRIVEN WAVES AND SMALL 9-10 SECOND
PERIOD SWELLS. BUT COMBINED SEAS WILL HOLD AT 4 FT OR LESS.

DEEP LOW PRESSURE ALOFT AND A SERIES OF WEAKER SURFACE LOWS MOVING
THROUGH THE SE AND MID ATLANTIC REGION WILL CONTINUE THROUGH
EARLY TUESDAY...BEFORE FINALLY SHIFTING NORTH BY WEDNESDAY OR
THURSDAY AS HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS BACK IN. WHILE THERE WILL BE SOME
SURGES ACROSS THE WATERS WITHIN THE COOL AIR ADVECTION SUNDAY AND
MONDAY NIGHT...AND AGAIN WITH SEA BREEZE CIRCULATIONS IN
CHARLESTON HARBOR MONDAY AFTERNOON/EVENING...WINDS WILL REMAIN AT
NO MORE THAN 15 OR PERHAPS 15-20 KT. A SLACKENING OF THE GRADIENT
WILL HOLD WINDS AT LESS THAN 10 OR 15 KT TUESDAY THROUGH THURSDAY.
SEAS WILL REACH NO MORE THAN 3 OR 4 FT.

RIP CURRENTS...ALTHOUGH THE SW WIND DIRECTION IS SOMEWHAT
UNFAVORABLE FOR RIP CURRENTS ON SUNDAY...THIS IS MORE THAN
COMPENSATED BY THE 2-3 FOOT SWELLS AND THE ASTRONOMICAL
INFLUENCES. WHILE CHANCES MAY ACTUALLY BE A LITTLE GREATER ALONG
THE CHARLESTON COUNTY BEACHES WITH A STRONGER PARALLEL WIND AND
SWELLS A TAD HIGHER...A MODERATE RISK IS FORECAST FOR ALL BEACHES
IN THE CWFA. IT STILL LOOKS LIKE SMALL LINGERING SWELLS ON
MONDAY...AND WITH CONTINUED ASTRONOMICAL INFLUENCES WE ANTICIPATE
AN ELEVATED RISK ONCE AGAIN.

&&

.TIDES/COASTAL FLOODING...
WILL MAINTAIN THE COASTAL FLOOD ADVISORY FOR CHARLESTON-COLLETON
COUNTIES THIS EVENING. TIDAL DEPARTURES IN CHARLESTON HARBOR HAVE
BEEN RUNNING 0.7-0.9 FT ABOVE PREDICTED VALUES SINCE MIDNIGHT SO
CONTINUING THIS TREND SHOULD PUSH THE TIDE LEVEL TO JUST ABOUT 7.0
FT IN CHARLESTON HARBOR...THE THRESHOLD FOR SHALLOW COASTAL
FLOODING.

TIDAL DEPARTURES HAVE BEEN RUNNING LESS AT FORT PULASKI /0.5-0.8
FT ABOVE PREDICTED/ AND WITH THIS TREND CONTINUING...SHALLOW
COASTAL THRESHOLDS ARE NOT EXPECTED TO BE MET SO WILL KEEP THE
STATUS QUO FOR BEAUFORT COUNTY ON SOUTHWARD. TRENDS WILL BE
MONITORED IN CASE ANY ADJUSTMENTS ARE NEEDED FOR THE ADVISORY FOR
THIS EVENING.

TIDES WILL CONTINUE TO RUN HIGH THROUGH AT LEAST WEDNESDAY DUE
TO ASTRONOMICAL FACTORS. ALTHOUGH PREVAILING WIND FLOW WILL BE
FROM THE SOUTHWEST WHICH IS NOT CONDUCIVE TO SIGNIFICANT EKMAN
PUMPING ALONG THE SC/GA COAST...PERSISTENT LOW PRESSURE ALONG THE
EASTERN SEABOARD IS SUPPORTING ABOVE-NORMAL TIDE LEVELS. AS
PREDICTED VALUES INCREASE THROUGH SUNDAY...THE ADDITIONAL POSITIVE
ANOMALY WILL LIKELY PUSH TIDES ABOVE COASTAL FLOOD ADVISORY
THRESHOLDS WITH THE EVENING HIGH TIDE. THEREFORE ADDITIONAL
COASTAL FLOOD ADVISORIES APPEAR LIKELY.

&&

.CHS WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
GA...NONE.
SC...COASTAL FLOOD ADVISORY UNTIL 8 PM EDT THIS EVENING FOR SCZ049-
     050.
MARINE...NONE.
