AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE CHARLESTON SC
332 PM EST SUN NOV 4 2012

.SYNOPSIS...
A WAVE OF LOW PRESSURE WILL STEADILY DESCEND SOUTHEAST INTO THE
AREA TONIGHT...WITH A TRAILING COLD FRONT CROSSING THE COASTLINE
AFTER MIDNIGHT. HIGH PRESSURE WILL BUILD FROM THE NORTH MONDAY.
LOW PRESSURE WILL DEVELOP NEAR THE GULF COAST MONDAY NIGHT AND
PASS JUST SOUTH AND EAST OF THE REGION TUESDAY...BRINGING RAIN TO
MANY LOCATIONS. THE LOW THEN WILL INTENSIFY AND TRACK UP THE
EASTERN SEABOARD THROUGH MIDWEEK. HIGH PRESSURE WILL BUILD INTO
THE REGION FROM THE NORTH LATE THIS WEEK AND PREVAIL THROUGH NEXT
WEEKEND.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...
THE FORECAST AREA REMAINS WITHIN THE WARM SECTOR OF A DESCENDING
WAVE OF LOW PRESSURE AND ASSOCIATED COLD FRONT THIS AFTERNOON.
INCREASING MOISTURE UNDER SOLID WEST/SOUTHWEST FLOW...AS WELL AS
DIURNAL INSTABILITY WITHIN UNSEASONABLY WARM CONDITIONS...HAS
SUPPORTED THE DEVELOPMENT OF ISOLATED SHOWERS ACROSS THE FAR
INLAND PORTIONS OF THE FORECAST AREA. THE MAIN CONCERNS FOR THE
NEAR TERM PERIOD CONTINUE TO BE THE COVERAGE AND ORGANIZATION OF
CONVECTION ASSOCIATED WITH THE APPROACHING FRONTAL SYSTEM.

HAVE INTRODUCED SLIGHT CHANCE POPS ACROSS WESTERN TIER ZONES A FEW
HOURS EARLIER...CONSIDERING LATEST RADAR TRENDS. AS THE CENTER OF
THE SURFACE LOW SHIFTS DIRECTLY OVER MUCH OF THE FORECAST AREA IN
THE NEXT FEW HOURS...WHILE CONVERGENCE AND INCREASED MOISTURE DROP
SOUTHWARD WITH THE FRONTAL PROGRESSION...EXPECT
SHOWER/THUNDERSTORM COVERAGE TO INCREASE FROM WEST TO EAST
ACCORDINGLY. DESPITE AN EARLIER INITIATION TO ISOLATED
CONVECTION...MODEL CONSENSUS REMAINS THAT THE BEST COVERAGE OF
PRECIPITATION WILL BE DELAYED MORE TOWARD THE EVENING HOURS...WHEN
JET DYNAMICS IMPROVE OVER THE SOUTHEAST STATES AND THE FRONT
PUSHES INTO THE FORECAST AREA.

STORM PREDICTION CENTER HAS MAINTAINED A SLIGHT RISK FOR SEVERE
WEATHER ACROSS THE ENTIRE FORECAST AREA FOR DAY ONE...WITH 15
PERCENT PROBABILITIES FOR DAMAGING WIND AND LARGE HAIL. MUCH OF
THE CONCERN FOR SEVERE WEATHER STEMS FROM STRONG SYNOPTIC
DYNAMICS. 500 MB TEMPERATURES COULD FALL AS LOW AS -17 DEG
C...SUPPORTING RATHER STEEP MID LEVEL LAPSE RATES UPWARDS OF -6.5
C/KM. THE FORECAST AREA WILL ALSO BECOME LOCATED IN THE LEFT FRONT
QUADRANT OF THE STRONGER 110 KT SOUTHERN STREAM JET BY THE EVENING.
ALL THESE FACTORS...COMBINED WITH 0 TO 6 KM BULK SHEAR CURRENTLY
BETWEEN 30 TO 35 KT...SUGGEST AT LEAST A SMALL POTENTIAL FOR
THUNDERSTORMS TO BECOME SEVERE.

WEAK INSTABILITY...A LINGERING DRY AIR MASS...AND A LATER FRONTAL
TIMING ARE ALL FACTORS CONTRIBUTING TO MUCH OF THE UNCERTAINTY
REGARDING OVERALL POTENTIAL AND COVERAGE OF ANY SEVERE
THUNDERSTORMS. ALTHOUGH DCAPE VALUES ARE NEAR 1000 J/KG AND
SUGGEST STRONG TO DAMAGING WIND POTENTIAL IF THUNDERSTORMS CAN
STRENGTHEN...SURFACE BASED INSTABILITY PARAMETERS ARE QUITE
MARGINAL. IT WOULD SEEM THAT THE BEST WINDOW OF OPPORTUNITY FOR
SEVERE THUNDERSTORM INITIATION IS FROM THE PRESENT TIME INTO THE
EARLY EVENING. LATER SHOWERS/THUNDERSTORMS COULD STRUGGLE TO
STRENGTHEN WITHIN WANING INSTABILITY AND HEATING AFTER SUNSET.

PRECIPITATION COVERAGE IS STILL EXPECTED TO INCREASE THIS EVENING
AND OVERNIGHT WITHIN A DEEPENING MOISTURE PROFILE...AS THE FRONT
MOVES INTO THE AREA. HOWEVER THE SEVERE THREAT WILL ALSO DIMINISH
WITH TIME...LIKELY BY 8 OR 9 PM EST. THE FRONT IS EXPECTED TO PASS
ALL LAND BASED ZONES AFTER MIDNIGHT BY 04Z TO 08Z...ALLOWING RAIN
CHANCES TO STEADILY DECREASE FROM NORTHWEST TO SOUTHEAST THROUGH
THE NIGHT. ALTHOUGH COLD ADVECTION BEHIND THE FRONT WILL BE
DELAYED TO NEAR DAYBREAK MONDAY...LOW TEMPERATURES WILL STILL BE
SEVERAL DEGREES COOLER THAN SATURDAY NIGHT...FALLING INTO THE
UPPER 40S FAR INLAND TO THE MID 50S NEAR THE COAST.

&&

.SHORT TERM /MONDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
MONDAY...SHORTWAVE RIDGING ALOFT AND ASSOCIATED SURFACE HIGH
PRESSURE WILL PROVIDE A COOLER AND RAIN-FREE DAY. MID/HIGH LEVEL
CLOUDS WILL BEGIN TO SPREAD INTO THE REGION AHEAD OF AN APPROACHING
SYSTEM...SO ANY SUNSHINE SHOULD FADE AS THE AFTERNOON PROGRESSES.

MONDAY NIGHT...A STRONG SHORTWAVE TROUGH ALOFT WILL DIG SE THROUGH
THE LOWER MS RIVER VALLEY...PROMOTING SURFACE CYCLOGENESIS ALONG THE
NORTHERN GULF COAST. AHEAD OF THESE FEATURES...OVERRUNNING
PRECIPITATION WILL BLOSSOM N/NE...AND RAIN COULD PUSH INTO THE
REGION OVERNIGHT...ESPECIALLY ACROSS S/W COUNTIES. 12Z GUIDANCE
DEPICTION OF MOISTURE TRENDS SUGGESTS THAT LOW LEVEL DRY AIR COULD
DELAY THE ONSET OF PRECIPITATION. ADJUSTED POPS ACCORDINGLY...WITH
POPS BELOW 15 PERCENT THROUGH MIDNIGHT THEN INCREASING TO SLIGHT
CHANCE FAR NORTH TO AROUND 50 PERCENT LATE.

TUESDAY AND TUESDAY NIGHT...THE STRONG SHORTWAVE THROUGH WILL SWING
THROUGH THE SOUTHEAST AND OFF THE COAST...AND THE ASSOCIATED SURFACE
LOW WILL BEGIN TO DEEPEN AND TRACK NE. MEANWHILE...AT THE SURFACE AN
INLAND WEDGE OF HIGH PRESSURE WILL EXTEND INTO THE FORECAST AREA
FROM THE N/NE. DEEP LAYER MOISTURE AND STRONG FORCING/FOCUSED ASCENT
WILL SUPPORT OVERRUNNING RAIN FALLING INTO A COOL LOW LEVEL
AIR MASS...JUSTIFYING A PERIOD OF LIKELY TO CATEGORICAL
POPS...HIGHEST TUESDAY AFTERNOON.

THE 12Z NAM SOLUTION WHICH PUSHES DEEPEST MOISTURE/PRECIPITATION
ONLY THROUGH FAR SOUTHERN/COASTAL COUNTIES ACCOMPANIED BY LITTLE/NO
PRECIPITATION INLAND DOES NOT APPEAR REASONABLE AND WAS NOT UTILIZED
FOR THE SUNDAY AFTERNOON FORECAST PACKAGE.

WITH PRECIPITATION FALLING INTO THE SURFACE WEDGE OF HIGH PRESSURE
AND ENHANCING THE COOL/MOIST AIR MASS...LOWERED TEMPERATURES A FEW
DEGREES INTO THE LOWER/MID 50S MOST AREAS AWAY FROM THE IMMEDIATE
COAST TUESDAY...AND SOME LOCATIONS COULD HOLD IN THE 40S AS RAIN
FALLS MUCH OF ELECTION DAY.

TUESDAY NIGHT...THE UPPER TROUGH AXIS WILL BECOME NEGATIVELY TILTED
AS THE SOUTHERN SHORTWAVE BEGINS TO PHASE WITH AN AMPLIFYING
NORTHERN TROUGH...AND THE SURFACE LOW WILL DEEPEN AS IT TRACKS
NORTHEAST JUST OFF THE SOUTHEAST COAST. AS A RESULT...AN ASSOCIATED
COMMA FEATURE/DEEP LAYER MOISTURE WILL WRAP BACK INTO THE FORECAST
AREA...ESPECIALLY INTO N/E COUNTIES. THUS...RAISED POPS TO LIKELY
N/E AND CHANCE ELSEWHERE TUESDAY EVENING...AND HIGHER POPS COULD
EVENTUALLY BE REQUIRED DEPENDING ON THE COVERAGE/PERSISTENCE OF THE
WRAP AROUND MOISTURE. THEN...DEEP MOISTURE SHOULD LIFT NORTH OF THE
REGION OVERNIGHT TUESDAY NIGHT...AND PRECIPITATION WILL WIND DOWN
FROM S/SW TO N/NE.

WEDNESDAY...THE DEEPENING SURFACE LOW WILL PASS CAPE HATTERAS...BUT
THE CYCLONIC CIRCULATION WILL CONTINUE TO PRODUCE COOL AND BREEZY
CONDITIONS ACROSS THE REGION. HIGH TEMPS SHOULD TOP OUT IN THE LOWER
TO MID 60S...BELOW NORMAL FOR EARLY NOVEMBER.

&&

.LONG TERM /WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY/...
MODEL AGREEMENT AND OVERALL FORECAST CONFIDENCE IS GOOD FOR THE LONG
TERM FORECAST PERIOD. DEEP LAYER RIDGING WILL GRADUALLY BUILD ACROSS
THE EASTERN CONUS THROUGH THE UPCOMING WEEKEND. HIGH PRESSURE WILL
BUILD INTO THE REGION BY THURSDAY AND REMAIN THE DOMINANT FEATURE
THROUGH THE END OF THE PERIOD. TEMPS WILL START OFF BELOW NORMAL ON
THURSDAY...GRADUALLY MODERATING TO NEAR NORMAL BY THE WEEKEND.

&&

.AVIATION /20Z SUNDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/...
A SURFACE WAVE OF LOW PRESSURE CURRENTLY ACROSS THE NORTH
CAROLINA/SOUTH CAROLINA BORDER WILL DROP SOUTHEAST OVER THE AREA
THROUGH TONIGHT...PULLING A TRAILING COLD FRONT OFF THE COAST BY
DAYBREAK MONDAY. THE MAIN FORECAST QUESTIONS ARE IN REGARDS TO THE
TIMING AND STRENGTH OF SHOWERS/THUNDERSTORMS ASSOCIATED WITH THE
FRONTAL PASSAGE. LATEST NUMERICAL MODEL SOLUTIONS SUGGEST THAT
UPSTREAM CONVECTION WILL MOVE TOWARD THE TERMINALS AS LATE AS
SUNSET OR AFTER. HOWEVER EARLIER THUNDERSTORM INITIATION SEEN IN
LATEST RADAR TRENDS MAY REQUIRE SOME ALTERATIONS TO THE ONGOING
TAFS...IF DEVELOPMENT SHIFTS FARTHER EASTWARD EARLIER THAN
EXPECTED. WINDS WILL STEADILY VEER TO THE NORTH AS THE FRONT
PROGRESSES THROUGH THE AREA.

WILL MAINTAIN MENTION OF -SHRA AT BOTH TERMINALS BETWEEN 00Z AND
06Z...THE MOST FAVORED TIME FOR PRECIPITATION ALONG THE FRONT TO
IMPACT KCHS AND KSAV. DUE TO THE LATER TIMING OF PRECIPITATION
INTRUSION...INSTABILITY COULD BE DIMINISHING AS CONVECTION
APPROACHES THE TERMINAL...AND THUS PREFER TO KEEP THUNDER OUT OF
THE TAFS AT THIS TIME. PRECIPITATION SHOULD BE MOVING OFF THE
COAST BY SUNRISE MONDAY MORNING.

MODEL GUIDANCE FROM ALL THREE SOURCES KEEP CONDITIONS VFR THROUGH
THE TAF PERIOD. ANALYSIS OF MODEL FORECAST SOUNDINGS SUGGEST A
WINDOW OF OPPORTUNITY FOR A FEW TO SCATTERED LOW CLOUDS TO DEVELOP
BETWEEN MIDNIGHT AND SUNRISE...YET LATEST THINKING IS THAT ANY
BROKEN CEILINGS THAT DEVELOP WILL REMAIN AT VFR LEVELS.

EXTENDED AVIATION OUTLOOK...VFR CONDITIONS INTO MONDAY EVENING.
THE PROBABILITY FOR FLIGHT RESTRICTIONS WILL INCREASE MONDAY
NIGHT...AND IFR OR LOWER CONDITIONS COULD DEVELOP/PREVAIL IN RAIN
TUESDAY INTO TUESDAY NIGHT. VFR LIKELY WEDNESDAY THROUGH FRIDAY.

&&

.MARINE...
TONIGHT...LOW PRESSURE WILL STEADILY SHIFT INTO THE ATLANTIC OFF
THE CAROLINAS AROUND MIDNIGHT...WITH ITS TRAILING COLD FRONT
CROSSING THE MARINE ZONES AROUND THE 06Z TO 09Z TIME FRAME.
SOUTHWEST TO WEST WINDS UP NEAR 15 KT AHEAD OF THE FRONT WILL
VEER AROUND TO THE NORTHWEST AND NORTH AT SIMILAR OR SLIGHTLY LOWER
SPEEDS BEHIND THE FRONT. SEAS WILL BRIEFLY REACH 4 FT ACROSS THE
FAR NORTHERN SOUTH CAROLINA WATERS AND THE OUTERMOST PORTION OF
OFFSHORE GEORGIA ZONES...OTHERWISE 3 FT OR LESS CAN BE EXPECTED.
SCATTERED SHOWERS AND ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS WILL ACCOMPANY THE
FRONT. A FEW STORMS DURING THE EVENING HOURS COULD BECOME STRONG
OR EVEN SEVERE WITH GUSTY TO DAMAGING WINDS AND FREQUENT LIGHTNING.
REMEMBER TO CHECK NOAA WEATHER RADIO...ALL HAZARDS...FOR UPDATES
THROUGH TONIGHT.

MONDAY...HIGH PRESSURE BUILDING FROM THE NORTH WILL MAINTAIN A
PREVAILING N/NE FLOW MAINLY 10-15 KNOTS...ACCOMPANIED BY SEAS 1-3 FT
WITHIN NEARSHORE WATERS AND 2-4 FT BEYOND 20 NM.

MONDAY NIGHT...BETWEEN HIGH PRESSURE CENTERED NORTH OF THE WATERS
AND LOW PRESSURE DEVELOPING OVER THE NORTHERN GULF COAST...NE WINDS
WILL GRADUALLY INCREASE...PERHAPS REACHING 15-20 KT BY DAYBREAK
TUESDAY. INCREASING WINDS WILL SUPPORT GRADUALLY BUILDING SEAS...AND
SEAS OF 3-5 FT WILL BECOME COMMON BY TUESDAY MORNING.

TUESDAY AND TUESDAY NIGHT...AS THE LOW PRESSURE INTENSIFIES AND
TRACKS NORTHEAST...CONFIDENCE IS HIGH THAT SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY
WINDS AND SEAS WILL DEVELOP OVER ALL COASTAL WATERS. STRENGTHENING
NE WINDS WILL BACK TOWARD THE N THEN NW AS THE SURFACE LOW PASSES
JUST OFFSHORE TUESDAY NIGHT. IF THE LOW DEEPENS MORE QUICKLY THEN
EXPECTED...GALES COULD DEVELOP OVER THE COASTAL WATERS LATE TUESDAY
INTO EARLY WEDNESDAY.

WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON THROUGH FRIDAY...THE LOW PRESSURE WILL MOVE AWAY
FROM THE REGION...AND SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE WILL EXPAND INTO THE
REGION FROM THE NORTH. THIS WILL TRANSLATE TO GRADUALLY SLACKING
WINDS AND SUBSIDING SEAS THROUGH THE PERIOD.
