AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE CHARLESTON SC
159 PM EST SUN DEC 11 2011

.SYNOPSIS...
SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE WILL PREVAIL THROUGH THIS WEEK. AN UPPER
LEVEL DISTURBANCE WILL CROSS THE AREA TONIGHT INTO MONDAY.
A COLD FRONT COULD STALL OVER OR NEAR THE REGION NEXT WEEKEND.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 PM THIS EVENING/...
EARLY IN THE AFTERNOON...OVERCAST SKIES HAVE FIRMLY TAKEN CONTROL
OF THE FORECAST AREA. CLOUDS WILL CONTINUE TO FILL IN AROUND THE
VICINITY THROUGH THIS EVENING AND WILL PERSIST OVERNIGHT. SO FAR
SHOWER ACTIVITY HAS REMAINED OFFSHORE AND AWAY FROM THE MARINE
ZONES CLOSER TO THE GULF STREAM. OTHER THAN SHOWERS AND PERHAPS AN
ISOLATED THUNDERSTORM STARTING TO EXPAND INTO THE OUTER
WATERS...THINGS SHOULD REMAIN DRY INTO THE EARLY EVENING. A FEW
BREAKS IN THE CLOUDS THIS AFTERNOON HAVE ALLOWED ENOUGH SUN FOR
TEMPS TO WARM INTO THE MID 50S PRETTY MUCH EVERYWHERE. OVERALL
TEMPS SHOULD REMAIN STEADY OVER THE NEXT FEW HOURS AND THEN START
TO FALL SLOWLY AFTER SUNSET. PREVIOUS DISCUSSION CONTINUES BELOW.

LATE THIS MORNING...CLOUDS IN THE FORM OF STRATUS AND
STRATOCUMULUS HAVE CONTINUED TO STEADILY EXPAND ACROSS THE
FORECAST AREA. THIS IS EXPECTED TO PERSIST AND CLOUDY SKIES WILL
BE THE NORM FOR TODAY ACROSS MOST AREAS. CURRENT TEMPERATURES ARE
RUNNING 4 TO 8 DEGREES BELOW 24 HOURS AGO...AND WITH EXTENSIVE
CLOUD COVER ANOTHER COOL DAY IS EXPECTED. I HAVE TRIMMED ABOUT 2
DEGREES OFF FORECAST HIGHS FOR TODAY WHICH RESULTS IN LOW TO MID
50S ACROSS THE REGION.

A STRONG 1038 MB HIGH CONTINUES TO BUILD IN FROM THE NORTH WITH A
RATHER TIGHT PRESSURE GRADIENT SETTING UP ALONG THE SC/GA
COASTLINE. THIS WILL SUPPORT BREEZY CONDITIONS ACROSS INLAND AREAS
TODAY WITH GUSTS PRIMARILY IN THE 25 TO 30 MPH HOUR POSSIBLE.
COASTAL GA COULD PERHAPS SEE SOME STRONGER WINDS...PERHAPS IN THE
30 TO 35 MPH RANGE...ESPECIALLY FROM TYBEE SOUTH TO SAPELO ISLAND.
IF WINDS BECOME STRONGER THAN THAT THIS AFTERNOON IN THESE
AREAS...A WIND ADVISORY MAY BE NECESSARY. WILL MONITOR WIND TRENDS
OVER THE NEXT FEW HOURS. CURRENTLY PRECIP IS REMAINING WELL
OFFSHORE AND I EXPECT THIS TO CONTINUE INTO THE LATE AFTERNOON FOR
THE MOST PART. THIS EVENING PRECIP SHOULD START TO SPREAD IN FROM
THE SOUTH AND I HAVE MAINTAINED THE CURRENT POP TREND.

LAKE WIND ADVISORY CONDITIONS...A MARGINAL LAKE WIND ADVISORY
WAS MAINTAINED FOR GUSTS TO 25 KT OVER OPEN WATERS TODAY.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 PM THIS EVENING THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
CONSENSUS MODEL OUTPUT INDICATES THE APPROACHING UPPER DISTURBANCE
WILL DRIVE DECENT DYNAMICS THROUGH SE GEORGIA LATE TONIGHT. THE
LEFT FRONT EXIT REGION OF AN UPPER JET SEGMENT LOOKS TO BRING
A PERIOD OF STRONG UPPER DIVERGENCE OVER THE WEDGE. PWATS OF
1.25 INCH...DEEP MOISTURE OVER SOUTH GEORGIA AND COASTAL SPEED
CONVERGENCE IN THE LOWER LEVELS...ALL SUGGEST RAINS BREAKING OUT
OVER OUR GEORGIA ZONES AS DAYBREAK APPROACHES MON MORNING. IN
SOUTH CAROLINA...SCATTERED RAINS MAY HOLD OFF UNTIL DAWN TO THE
SOUTH OF CHARLESTON AND POPS BORDERING THE PEE DEE AND MIDLANDS OF
SOUTH CAROLINA WERE MAINTAINED IN THE LOW END CHANCE RANGE. IT
WILL REMAIN BREEZY ALONG THE IMMEDIATE COAST WITH NE WINDS GUSTY
AT TIMES.

HIGH PRESSURE WEDGE WILL REMAIN FIRMLY ENTRENCHED ON MONDAY WHILE A
FEW SHORTWAVES RIPPLE THROUGH THE BROAD UPPER LEVEL TROUGH PATTERN.
THE COASTAL TROUGH AND HENCE THE MOISTURE CONVERGENCE WILL REMAIN
HIGHEST IN SOUTHEAST GA AND THE ADJACENT COASTAL WATERS...THUS WE
ARE CARRYING THE HIGHEST POPS IN THIS AREA. PRECIP SHOULD TAPER OFF
DURING THE AFTERNOON AS THE VORT ENERGY PUSHES TO THE EAST AND 500
MB RIDGING OCCURS. EXTENSIVE CLOUDINESS AND COLD ADVECTION WILL
RESULT IN MONDAY HIGH TEMPERATURES ONLY IN THE LOWER/MIDDLE 50S.

SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE WILL BUILD SOUTH AND EAST TUESDAY INTO
WEDNESDAY. INCREASING UPPER HEIGHTS WILL ALLOW FOR GRADUAL
WARMING...MOSTLY CLEAR SKIES AND DRY CONDITIONS.

LAKE WIND ADVISORY CONDITIONS...FEATURING GUSTS TO 25 KNOTS...WILL
CONTINUE ON LAKE MOULTRIE TONIGHT AS A STRONG PRES GRADIENT RESIDES
OVER SE SOUTH CAROLINA.

&&

.LONG TERM /WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY/...
A BROAD UPPER RIDGE WILL DOMINATE THE PATTERN DURING THE EXTENDED
PERIOD. A WEAKNESS IN THE RIDGE ON SATURDAY MAY ALLOW A MOSTLY DRY
COLD FRONT TO DROP SOUTH THROUGH THE AREA. ABOVE NORMAL TEMPERATURES
AND DRY WEATHER ARE EXPECTED WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY. WE
MAINTAINED DRY CONDITIONS FRIDAY NIGHT AND SATURDAY ALTHOUGH THIS
MAY CHANGE IF MODEL SOLUTIONS COME INTO BETTER AGREEMENT ON
AVAILABLE MOISTURE ACCOMPANYING THE COLD FRONT. IF THE BOUNDARY
DROPS THROUGH AS CURRENTLY FORECAST SATURDAY NIGHT...HIGH
TEMPERATURES ON SUNDAY COULD DROP TEN DEGREES OR SO.

&&

.AVIATION /19Z SUNDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/...
MVFR CIGS HAVE SETTLED IN FOR THE MOST PART AT BOTH KCHS AND KSAV
THIS AFTERNOON. I EXPECT THIS WILL CONTINUE INTO THE EVENING
BEFORE CONDITIONS BEGIN TO DETERIORATE FURTHER. MODEL SOUNDINGS
AND TIME HEIGHTS DEFINITELY SUPPORT IFR CIGS DURING THE OVERNIGHT
WITH SHOWERS AND LIGHT RAIN BECOMING MORE PREVALENT...ESPECIALLY
AT KSAV. I HAVE TIMED IFR CIGS BEGINNING IN THE PRE DAWN HOURS AT
KSAV...WITH A COUPLE HOURS WORTH OF DELAY AT KCHS. MODELS DO NOT
SHOW RAINFALL SPREADING AS QUICKLY NORTHWARD INTO KCHS SO I HAVE
LIMITED PRECIP MENTION TO JUST SHRA FOR NOW. CONDITIONS WILL
IMPROVE INTO EARLY MONDAY AFTERNOON...BUT I THINK MVFR CIGS WILL
LIKELY LINGER THROUGH MUCH OF THE DAY. IFR CIGS MAY PERSIST INTO
THIS TIME AS WELL...BUT CONFIDENCE ISN/T HIGH ENOUGH AT THIS POINT
TO CARRY AS PREVAILING INTO THE LATE MORNING.

EXTENDED AVIATION OUTLOOK...PERIODS OF MVFR/IFR CONDITIONS POSSIBLE
LATE SUNDAY NIGHT AND MONDAY.

&&

.MARINE...
MANY FACTORS POINTING TOWARD LOCALIZED ENHANCED MARINE GRADIENT
PINCHING THROUGH THIS EVENING BUT CONFIDENCE ON WHICH PARTS OF OUR
MARINE SEGMENTS SEE PERIODS OF GALES WITH THIS EVENT AND EXACT
TIMING ARE NOT HIGH ON A PURELY MESOSCALE FIELD. PRE-DAWN THIS
MORNING...WE ARE NOTING FREQUENT GUSTS OVER 30 KT ALREADY AT THE
BUOYS WITH SUSTAINED 20 TO 25 KT NE FLOW INSIDE THE JETTY WATERS
AND INTRA- COASTAL REGION. WITH GALE WATCHES UP AND MODELS
INDICATING THE SURFACE PRES FIELDS WILL TIGHTEN ANOTHER 1-2 MB
BETWEEN MYRTLE BEACH AND JACKSONVILLE TODAY...WE DECIDED TO WARN
FOR PERIODIC AND TRANSITORY GALES OVER NEAR SHORE WATERS THROUGH
THIS EVENING. WE THINK MODEL WIND FORECASTS ARE UNDERDONE ALONG
THE SOUTHERN SOUTH CAROLINA COAST THIS EVENING GIVEN THE IMPRESSIVE
THERMAL AND MOISTURE GRADIENTS. IN FACT...THERE IS SOME DECENT
INSTABILITY OVER THE GULF STREAM AND THERE COULD BE SOME TSTMS
NEAR THE OUTER GEORGIA WATERS TONIGHT. SEAS ALREADY 5 TO 7 FT IN
NEAR SHORE WATERS AND EVEN HIGH BEYOND 20 NM...DESTINED TO
INCREASE A BIT MORE TODAY. IN THE CHARLESTON HARBOR WE MAINTAINED
A SOLID SCA THROUGH TONIGHT.

A GRADUAL RELAXATION OF THE SURFACE PRESSURE GRADIENT WILL LEAD TO
SLOWLY DECREASING NORTHEAST WINDS MONDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY. HOWEVER
THE FAVORABLE FETCH WILL MAINTAIN ELEVATED SEAS AT LEAST THROUGH
WEDNESDAY. QUIETER CONDITIONS ANTICIPATED BY THURSDAY AS HIGH
PRESSURE BUILDS OVERHEAD.

&&

.TIDES/COASTAL FLOODING...
HIGH SURF AND BEACH EROSION ARE EXPECTED INTO TONIGHT ESPECIALLY
FROM COASTAL BEAUFORT COUNTY SOUTH TO ALTAMAHA SOUND. SEAS ALREADY
OVER 7 FT AT GRAYS REEF BUOY PRE-DAWN AND WILL GO HIGHER TO AT
LEAST 8 FT ONCE PINCHING GRADIENTS MAXIMIZE SOMETIME TODAY OR
EARLY EVENING...WITH A FAVORABLE NE FETCH FOR PUSHING 5-7 FT
BREAKERS INTO THE SURF ZONE. THUS...CONTINUED A HIGH SURF ADVISORY
FROM BEAUFORT COUNTY SOUTH VALID NOON TODAY TO NOON MONDAY.

&&

.CHS WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
GA...HIGH SURF ADVISORY UNTIL NOON EST MONDAY FOR GAZ117-119-139-
     141.
SC...HIGH SURF ADVISORY UNTIL NOON EST MONDAY FOR SCZ048-051.
