AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE CHARLESTON SC
343 PM EDT WED MAY 9 2012

...SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH UNTIL 9 PM EDT...

.SYNOPSIS...
A COLD FRONT WILL MOVE OFFSHORE TONIGHT AND BE FOLLOWED BY HIGH
PRESSURE THROUGH MONDAY. THE HIGH WILL BEGIN TO WEAKEN EARLY
NEXT WEEK AS IT GIVES WAY TO A SLOW MOVING FRONTAL SYSTEM
THROUGH WEDNESDAY.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM THURSDAY MORNING/...
SHOWERS/TSTMS ARE STEADILY EXPANDING ACROSS SOUTHEAST SOUTH
CAROLINA THIS AFTERNOON AND EXPECT TO SEE A SIMILAR PATTERN
EVOLVE ACROSS SOUTHEAST GEORGIA SOON. VISIBLE SATELLITE AND RADAR
SHOW NUMEROUS CONVECTIVE OUTFLOWS BEING GENERATED BY ONGOING
CONVECTION...THE STRONGEST OF WHICH IS EXTENDING FROM NORTHERN
JASPER COUNTY INTO SOUTHERN BULLOCH COUNTY. THIS OUTFLOW WILL
INTERSECT THE INLAND MOVING SEA BREEZE SHORTLY WHICH SHOULD
INITIATE NEW CONVECTION. INSTABILITY PROFILES OUTSIDE OF
CONVECTION IS DECENT FOR EARLY MAY WITH SBCAPES APPROACHING 2800
J/KG...MAINLY ACROSS SOUTHEAST GEORGIA. THE FOCUS FOR SEVERE
WEATHER WILL GRADUALLY SHIFT TO THE LOWER SOUTH CAROLINA COAST AND
INTO MUCH OF SOUTHEAST GEORGIA EAST OF A STATESBORO-REIDSVILLE
LINE. THE MOST IMPRESSIVE INSTABILITY PARAMETERS ARE GENERALLY
CONFINED TO SOUTHEAST GEORGIA WHERE STRONG SURFACE HEATING IS
STILL ONGOING WITH SURFACE TEMPERATURES APPROACHING THE UPPER 80S.
COULD SEE SBCAPE BRIEFLY SURPASS 3000 J/KG PRIOR TO THE ONSET OF
CONVECTION.

0-6KM BULK SHEAR AND UPPER-LEVEL DYNAMICS WILL INCREASE AS AN
UPPER TROUGH AND H5 JET STREAK APPROACH. THE RISK FOR LOOSELY
ORGANIZED SEVERE TSTMS WILL THEREFORE INCREASE OVER THE NEXT FEW
HOURS. A SEVERE TSTM WATCH REMAINS IN EFFECT FOR MUCH OF THE AREA
UNTIL 9 PM...EXCLUDING ALLENDALE/SCREVEN AND JENKINS COUNTIES. THE
WESTERN PARTS OF THE WATCH WILL LIKELY BE CLEARED AS THE CORE OF
THE CONVECTION SHIFTS CLOSER TO THE COAST. WILL MAINTAIN
CATEGORICAL POPS ACROSS MAINLY THE CENTRAL AND EASTERN PORTIONS OF
THE FORECAST AREA. THE COLD FRONT WILL PUSH OFF THE COAST AFTER
MIDNIGHT WITH DRIER AIR ADVECTING IN BEHIND IT. SHOULD SEE MAINLY
CLEAR SKIES AND COOLER CONDITIONS BY SUNRISE THURSDAY.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 AM THURSDAY MORNING THROUGH SATURDAY/...
BROAD UPPER RIDGING WILL SLOWLY TAKE SHAPE THURSDAY THROUGH
SATURDAY. SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE WILL OVERSPREAD THE REGION FROM THE
NORTHWEST ON THURSDAY...SHIFTING SLOWLY EAST THROUGH SATURDAY WITH
WINDS SHIFTING FROM NORTH TO NORTHEAST AND EVENTUALLY EAST.
RAIN-FREE WEATHER IS EXPECTED WITH TEMPERATURES NEAR NORMAL.
DEWPOINTS WILL BE NOTICEABLY LOWER DURING THE PERIOD...ESPECIALLY
THURSDAY AND FRIDAY BEFORE THE SURFACE HIGH SHIFTS OFFSHORE AND THE
FLOW BECOMES MORE ONSHORE. THE BEST CUMULUS COVERAGE IS EXPECTED
ACROSS SOUTHEAST GA FRIDAY AND SATURDAY DUE TO THE BETTER MOISTURE
ADVECTION. WE CANNOT COMPLETELY RULE OUT AN ISOLATED SHOWER ACROSS
SOUTHEAST GA SATURDAY AFTERNOON BUT AT THIS POINT THE MOISTURE AND
CONVERGENCE LOOK TOO LIMITED TO JUSTIFY A POP.

&&

.LONG TERM /SATURDAY NIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
RIDGING ALOFT WILL SLIDE INTO THE ATLANTIC FOR SUNDAY...AND WILL
EVENTUALLY GIVE WAY TO EITHER A CLOSED LOW OR DEEP TROUGH DURING
THE EARLY TO MIDDLE PORTION ON NEXT WEEK. SURFACE LOW PRESSURE
WILL FORM AS A RESULT OVER OR NEAR THE TENNESSEE VALLEY OR NORTHERN
GULF COAST. BUT A BLOCKING ATLANTIC RIDGE WILL PREVENT THE LOW AND
ITS ASSOCIATED WARM AND COLD FRONTS FROM TRACKING EAST TOO QUICKLY.
THIS MEANS WE/RE LOOKING AT A FAIRLY UNSETTLED PATTERN DURING THE
EARLY AND MID WEEK PERIOD. SLIGHT CHANCE POPS FOR SUNDAY WILL
INCREASE INTO THE CHANCE RANGE FOR MOST PLACES MONDAY...THEN SOLIDLY
INTO THE CHANCE RANGE EVERYWHERE TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY.

MAX TEMPS WILL AVERAGE NEAR OR SLIGHTLY BELOW SEASONAL NORMS...WHILE
NIGHTTIME LOWS WILL START OUT NEAR NORMAL...BUT CLIMB ABOVE NORMAL
IN LATER PERIODS.

&&

.AVIATION /20Z WEDNESDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...
VFR CONDITIONS WILL PERSIST THROUGH 19Z AT CHS AND SAV TERMINALS
DESPITE LIGHT SHOWERS NEAR/OVER THE TERMINALS. TEMPO MVFR CIGS/VSBYS
ARE THEN POSSIBLE BETWEEN 19-23Z WITH SHOWER/THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY
ALONG AND AHEAD OF A COLD FRONT. SOME THUNDERSTORMS MAY BE STRONG AS
THEY SHIFT OVER BOTH TERMINALS. HAVE INCLUDED TEMPO 20-25 KT WIND
GUSTS WITH THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY AT THE CHS TERMINAL. WIND GUSTS MAY
BE NEEDED AT THE SAV TERMINAL WHEN TIMING OF THUNDERSTORMS BECOMES
MORE CONFIDENT. TEMPO THUNDERSTORMS MAY NEED TO BE EXTENDED THROUGH
01Z AT BOTH TERMINALS TONIGHT IF THE FRONT SLOWS. VFR CONDITIONS
WILL THEN PREVAIL POST FROPA TONIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY AFTERNOON.

EXTENDED AVIATION OUTLOOK...MVFR CIGS COULD LINGER LATE TONIGHT
SHORTLY AFTER 06Z BUT OTHERWISE NO SIG CONCERNS THROUGH SUN.

&&

.MARINE...
STRONG-SEVERE TSTMS WILL MOVE ACROSS THE WATERS THIS EVENING AS A
COLD FRONT APPROACHES. SOUTHWEST WINDS WILL TURN WEST AND
EVENTUALLY NORTHWEST LATE AS THE FRONT PUSHES OFFSHORE. SHOULD SEE
A BIT OF SURGE IN THE WAKE OF THE FRONT WITH WINDS NO HIGHER THAN
15 KT TO 15-25 KT. SEAS WILL REMAIN 3 FT OR LESS.

THURSDAY...WE EXPECT A BRIEF EARLY MORNING NORTHERLY WIND SURGE DUE
TO THE COLD ADVECTION BEHIND THE COLD FRONT. SEAS WILL TEMPORARILY
BUILD TO AS HIGH AS 5 FT OVER THE OFFSHORE GA WATERS. IF WINDS ARE A
BIT STRONGER THERE COULD BE A FEW HOURS WITH 6 FT SEAS BEYOND ABOUT
40 NM FROM THE GA COAST. WINDS/SEAS WILL DROP OFF THURSDAY
AFTERNOON/EVENING AS THE SURFACE HIGH BUILDS CLOSER TO THE AREA.

FRIDAY THROUGH SUNDAY...HIGH PRESSURE WILL COVER THE MARINE AREA
WITH AN ONSHORE FLOW TO PREVAIL. WINDS WILL GENERALLY HOLD AT 15 KT
OR LESS WITH SEAS NO MORE THAN 3-5 FT.

MONDAY...THE COASTAL WATERS WILL LIE BETWEEN ATLANTIC HIGH PRESSURE
TO THE NE AND EAST...WITH LOW PRESSURE TO BE FOUND ALONG THE
NORTHERN GULF COAST. ALTHOUGH THERE DOES APPEAR TO BE AN INCREASE IN
THE PRESSURE GRADIENT BETWEEN THESE TWO FEATURES...CONDITIONS AT
THIS TIME LOOK TO REMAIN BELOW SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY LEVELS.

&&

.TIDES/COASTAL FLOODING...
LATEST SURGE GUIDANCE AND LATE AFTERNOON TIDE TRENDS SUGGEST TIDES
MAY APPROACH 7.0 FT MLLW IN THE CHARLESTON HARBOR. SINCE THIS IS
JUST AT SHALLOW COASTAL FLOODING CRITERIA...PREFER TO HOLD OFF ON
THE ISSUANCE OF A COASTAL FLOOD ADVISORY AND LET THE EVENING SHIFT
MONITOR TIDE TRENDS.
