AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE CHARLESTON SC
109 PM EST SUN DEC 25 2011

.SYNOPSIS...
HIGH PRESSURE WILL WEAKEN AND SLIP EASTWARD AS PROGRESSIVE UPPER
LEVEL ENERGY MOVES IN FROM THE WEST TODAY. HIGH PRESSURE THEN
RETURNS FROM THE NORTHWEST LATE TONIGHT AND MONDAY...AS A LOW
PRESSURE SYSTEM DEVELOPS ALONG THE GULF COAST. A COLD FRONT WILL
CROSS THE REGION ON TUESDAY...WITH WEAK HIGH PRESSURE EXPECTED TO
PREVAIL THROUGH EARLY NEXT WEEKEND.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 PM THIS EVENING/...
A FEW MINOR ADJUSTMENTS WERE NEEDED TO THE POP AND TEMPERATURE
FORECAST WITH THE EARLY AFTERNOON UPDATE PER LATEST RADAR AND
OBSERVATIONAL TRENDS. HAVE INCREASED RAIN CHANCES FOR THE INLAND
LOCATIONS AS SHOWER ACTIVITY INCREASES WEST OF INTERSTATE
95...WHILE STILL PREFERRING TO CAP POPS BELOW 55 PERCENT DUE TO
TIMING AND COVERAGE UNCERTAINTIES.

TEMPERATURES ARE QUITE VARIABLE ACROSS THE REGION DUE TO EARLIER
BREAKS IN THE CLOUD COVER AND ISOLATED SHOWER ACTIVITY. HAVE INDICATED
SLIGHTLY WARMER TEMPERATURES ALONG THE COAST...ESPECIALLY CHARLESTON
COUNTY WHERE CLOUD COVER WAS MOST DELAYED.

LATEST MESOSCALE ANALYSIS PLACES THE FORECAST AREA ON THE SOUTHERN
PERIPHERY OF SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE TO THE NORTH...WHILE A WEAK
COASTAL TROUGH HAS DEVELOPED OVER THE MARINE ZONES. A CLOSED
UPPER LOW REMAINS OVER THE SOUTHWEST/SOUTHERN PLAINS THIS
MORNING...EJECTING PLENTIFUL SHORTWAVE ENERGY NORTHEAST INTO THE
TENNESSEE/OHIO VALLEYS. AS A RESULT...A CONSIDERABLE SWATH OF
THICK CLOUD COVER ACROSS THE GULF COAST AND SOUTHEAST STATES CAN
BE SEEN IN SATELLITE IMAGERY THIS HOUR. ALTHOUGH ISOLATED SHOWERS
ARE SEEN WEST OF INTERSTATE 95 IN SOUTHEAST GEORGIA BY
15Z...REGIONAL RADAR INDICATES THE MAIN AREA OF PRECIPITATION
STILL REMAINS JUST WEST AND NORTH OF THE FORECAST AREA BY EARLY
AFTERNOON.

ISOLATED LIGHT SHOWERS WILL BE POSSIBLE DURING THE NEXT FEW HOURS
MAINLY FOR THE SOUTHERN HALF OF THE FORECAST AREA...WITH LATEST
MODELS SUGGESTING THE MAJORITY OF PRECIPITATION WILL BE DELAYED
UNTIL LATER IN THE AFTERNOON TOWARD THE EARLY EVENING TIME
PERIOD. A SHORTWAVE TROUGH WITHIN THE NORTHERN STREAM OF A SPLIT
FLOW REGIME WILL EFFECTIVELY DAMPEN ANY RESIDUAL RIDGING AS IT
PROGRESSES INTO THE MID ATLANTIC AND NEW ENGLAND STATES THIS
AFTERNOON...ENABLING DEEP MOISTURE EARLIER CONFINED TO THE WEST TO
SLIP INTO THE FORECAST AREA. HAVE THUS INDICATED INCREASING RAIN
CHANCES FROM WEST TO EAST FROM MID AFTERNOON AND PAST SUNSET.
GIVEN THE STEADILY MOISTENING PROFILE SEEN IN MODEL FORECAST
SOUNDINGS...AS WELL AS ABUNDANT ENERGY ALOFT AND INFLUENCES FROM
THE LINGERING COASTAL TROUGH/OFFSHORE BOUNDARY...WILL INDICATE POPS
PEAKING AROUND 45 PERCENT BETWEEN 5 PM TO 7 PM THIS EVENING.

THICK CLOUD COVER AND DIMINISHING HEIGHTS ALOFT WILL SUPPORT COOLER
TEMPERATURES TODAY. HIGH TEMPERATURES WILL RANGE FROM THE UPPER
50S INLAND AREAS TO THE LOWER 60S NEAR THE COAST.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 PM THIS EVENING THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
THE SHORT WAVE ALOFT WILL PULL INTO THE ATLANTIC EARLY
TONIGHT...AS SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE IN THE PLAINS BUILDS EAST AND
SOUTHEAST OVERNIGHT. AS ISENTROPIC LIFT SHUTS OFF AND DRIER AIR
WORKS ITS WAY INTO THE REGION...LINGERING LIGHT RAINS IN THE
EVENING WILL END FROM WEST TO EAST...WITH ALL ACTIVITY SHIFTING
INTO THE ATLANTIC BY 12 AM TO 1 AM. PRIOR TO THE DRIER AIR MOVING
IN...THERE IS A BRIEF WINDOW WHERE THE LIGHT RAINS AND DRIZZLE
THIS EVENING...WHEN COMBINED WITH THE LOWERING STRATUS...WILL
ALLOW FOR SOME FOG DEVELOPMENT. HAVE THUS ADDED PATCHY FOG TO THE
FORECAST FROM 8 PM TO MIDNIGHT FOR THE EAST AND SOUTHEAST SECTIONS.

COLD ADVECTION WILL DEVELOP OVERNIGHT...AND AS SKIES BEGIN TO
CLEAR...TEMPS WILL STEADILY FALL TO LOWS MAINLY IN THE UPPER 30S
AND LOWER 40S NORTH...MID 40S CENTRAL AND UPPER 40S SOUTH.

MONDAY AND MONDAY NIGHT...PROMINENT UPPER LEVEL RIDGING WILL
TRANSLATE ACROSS MUCH OF THE EASTERN SEABOARD. SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE
WILL BUILD IN ACROSS THE CAROLINAS DURING THE DAY WITH DEEP LAYER
DRY AIR AND A STRONG SUBSIDENCE INVERSION NOTED ON MODEL SOUNDINGS.
OVERALL EXPECT A TRANQUIL DAY WITH TEMPS TOPPING OUT IN THE LOW 60S
ACROSS THE FORECAST AREA. OVERNIGHT...THE SURFACE HIGH WILL SLIDE
OFFSHORE AND THE LOW LEVEL FLOW WILL VEER AROUND TO MORE E AND SE
OUT AHEAD OF A LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM ORGANIZING ACROSS MS/AL. ALOFT
THE UPPER RIDGE WILL MOVE OFF THE EAST COAST AS A VIGOROUS CLOSED
LOW OVER THE CENTRAL PLAINS MOVES INTO THE LOWER MS VALLEY. THE LOW
LEVEL FLOW BECOMING MORE ONSHORE WILL RESULT IN INCREASING LOW LEVEL
MOISTURE WITH SOME HIGHER LEVEL MOISTURE STREAMING IN AHEAD OF THE
APPROACHING SYSTEM. CLOUD COVER WILL BE ON THE INCREASE THROUGH THE
OVERNIGHT WHICH IS EXPECTED TO HELP KEEP TEMPS ELEVATED. I HAVE GONE
WITH UPPER 40S ACROSS THE NORTH END OF THE FORECAST AREA WITH LOW TO
MID 50S ACROSS FAR SE GA.

TUESDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY...OVERALL THE OPERATIONAL MODELS SEEM TO
BE IN PRETTY GOOD AGREEMENT FOR THE PASSAGE OF THE COLD FRONT. THERE
ARE SOME DIFFERENCES AMONGST THE MODELS CONCERNING THE MAIN CLOSED
LOW/UPPER TROF AND ITS EVENTUAL PHASING WITH NORTHERN STREAM ENERGY
DIVING OUT OF THE NORTHERN PLAINS. THE GFS/CANADIAN SEEM TO BE
SLOWER WITH THIS PHASING AND AS A RESULT ARE SLOWER WITH THE SYSTEM
IN GENERAL...BRINGING THE FRONT THROUGH THE AREA IN THE LATE
AFTERNOON/EARLY EVENING. THE ECMWF ON THE OTHER HAND PHASES THE
CLOSED LOW SOONER AND BRING THE FRONT THROUGH A BIT EARLIER. I
HAVEN/T TRIED TO GET REAL CUTE WITH POPS...HAVING GONE WITH HIGH
LIKELY THROUGH THE DAY. THE BACKGROUND WIND FIELDS WITH THIS
SYSTEM CONTINUE TO LOOK QUITE IMPRESSIVE...SUPPORTING 0-3 KM SHEAR
VALUES ON THE ORDER OF 50 KT. THE SLOWER TIMING OF THE FRONT SEEN
IN SOME MODELS HAS BECOME MARGINALLY MORE SUPPORTIVE OF AFTERNOON
HEATING AND RESULTING WEAK SURFACE BASED INSTABILITY.
REGARDLESS...CAPE VALUES ARE STILL QUITE LIMITED AND ARE ONLY ON THE
ORDER OF A COUPLE HUNDRED J/KG. AS SUCH...I HAVE ADDED A SLIGHT
CHANCE THUNDER MENTION FOR THE AFTERNOON/EVENING HOURS. STILL DON/T
FEEL CONFIDENT ENOUGH AT THIS POINT TO MENTION IN THE HWO HOWEVER.

THE COLD FRONT WILL PUSH QUICKLY OFFSHORE TUESDAY NIGHT AND WEAK
HIGH PRESSURE WILL GRADUALLY BUILD IN ACROSS THE DEEP SOUTH THROUGH
WEDNESDAY.

&&

.LONG TERM /WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY/...
OVERALL THE LONG TERM PERIOD WILL BE DEFINED BY BROAD CYCLONIC FLOW
ALOFT...WITH SEVERAL FAST MOVING SHORTWAVES PASSING BY TO THE NORTH
IN THE VERY PROGRESSIVE PATTERN. WEAK HIGH PRESSURE WILL GENERALLY
BE THE NAME OF THE GAME ACROSS THE SOUTHEAST INTO THE WEEKEND WITH
RATHER BENIGN CONDITIONS EXPECTED. TEMPERATURES WILL START THE
PERIOD VERY CLOSE TO CLIMO...WITH A GRADUAL WARMING TREND INTO THE
WEEKEND.

&&

.AVIATION /18Z SUNDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/...
THE 18Z TAF PERIOD WILL FEATURE A WIDE RANGE OF FLIGHT CONDITIONS.
A SHORTWAVE TROUGH AND ASSOCIATED WIDESPREAD RAINFALL WILL IMPACT
THE TERMINALS LATER THIS AFTERNOON INTO THIS EVENING. AS PRECIPITATION
MOISTENS LOW LEVELS...VFR CONDITIONS WILL DETERIORATE THROUGH MVFR
TO IFR/LIFR DURING THE LATE AFTERNOON/EVENING. AS THE SHORTWAVE
TROUGH EXITS THE REGION OVERNIGHT...MODEL SOUNDINGS DEPICT
STRONG/DEEP LAYER DRYING...AND VFR CONDITIONS ARE THEN EXPECTED TO
RETURN OVERNIGHT. DRYING/IMPROVEMENT WILL OCCUR INITIALLY AT KCHS
AROUND 06Z AND AT KSAV BY 09Z. VFR CONDITIONS WILL THEN PREVAIL
FOR THE BALANCE OF THE 18Z TAF PERIOD.

CONFIDENCE IN THE OVERALL FORECAST SCENARIO REMAINS SOLID...BUT
AMENDMENTS TO ADJUST FORECASTS DETAILS INCLUDING TIMING CAN BE
EXPECTED.

EXTENDED AVIATION OUTLOOK...VFR CONDITIONS WILL PREVAIL UNTIL A COLD
FRONT AFFECTS THE REGION ON TUESDAY. MVFR OR LOWER CONDITIONS
ASSOCIATED WITH THE FRONT CAN BE EXPECTED TUESDAY AFTERNOON AND
EVENING. VFR WEATHER WILL THEN RETURN FROM WEDNESDAY ONWARD.

&&

.MARINE...
SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE TO THE NORTH WILL WEAKEN AND SLIP EASTWARD
TODAY...WHILE A COASTAL TROUGH ALSO DIMINISHES. A LIGHT PRESSURE
PATTERN WILL DEVELOP ACCORDINGLY...ALLOWING WINDS TO FALL TO UNDER
10 KT AND SEAS TO SUBSIDE ANOTHER FOOT OR SO. EXPECT THESE LIGHTER
CONDITIONS TO BE ONLY TEMPORARY...AS COLD ADVECTION DEVELOPS LATER
TONIGHT AND HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS FROM THE NORTHWEST. WINDS WILL
BECOME NORTHWEST 10 TO 15 KT BY MIDNIGHT...THEN SHIFT TO NORTH AND
INCREASE TO 15 TO 20 KT LATE. SEAS WILL BE HELD AT 5 FT OR LESS
GIVEN THE OFFSHORE FETCH.

MARINERS ARE ADVISED THAT VISIBILITIES EARLY TONIGHT WILL BE DOWN
UNDER 3 NM AT TIMES DUE TO THE LIGHT RAIN/DRIZZLE AND FOG.
HOWEVER...AS WINDS INCREASE THROUGH THE NIGHT AND DRIER AIR WORKS
ITS WAY IN...VISIBILITIES WILL IMPROVE AFTER MIDNIGHT.

MONDAY THROUGH THURSDAY...HIGH PRESSURE WILL BUILD IN TO THE REGION
WITH A RESULTING NE SURGE ACROSS THE LOCAL WATERS THROUGH MONDAY
MORNING. AN SCA APPEARS LIKELY FOR THE OUTER GA WATERS...WITH
CONDITIONS APPEARING MORE MARGINAL INSIDE OF 20 NM. WINDS WILL
SUBSIDE DURING THE DAY ON MONDAY AS THE HIGH CENTER SHIFTS OFFSHORE
AND WINDS BEGIN TO VEER AROUND TO E AND SE OUT AHEAD OF AN
APPROACHING COLD FRONT. AN IMPRESSIVE LOW LEVEL JET OUT AHEAD OF THE
FRONT WILL MOVE ACROSS THE LOCAL WATERS ON TUESDAY AS THE PRESSURE
GRADIENT TIGHTENS UP. SCA/S WILL LIKELY BE NEEDED FOR SOME OR ALL OF
THE MARINE ZONES DURING THIS TIME...THOUGH LIMITED MIXING IN THE
WARM AIR ADVECTION REGIME SHOULD PREVENT WINDS FROM GETTING TOO
STRONG. WINDS AND SEAS WILL THEN DROP OFF AGAIN STARTING MID WEEK AS
HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS BACK INTO THE REGION. CONDITIONS SHOULD THEN
REMAIN BELOW SCA CRITERIA THROUGH THE END OF THE WEEK.
