AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE CHARLESTON SC
ISSUED BY NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE COLUMBIA SC
200 PM EST FRI FEB 10 2012

.SYNOPSIS...
A TROUGH OF LOW PRESSURE WILL LINGER OFF THE COAST THIS AFTERNOON.
A COLD FRONT WILL PUSH OFFSHORE LATE TONIGHT INTO EARLY SATURDAY
AND BE FOLLOWED BY A SECONDARY REINFORCING COLD FRONT SATURDAY
EVENING. COLD HIGH PRESSURE WILL BUILD FROM THE WEST AND PERSIST
THROUGH EARLY NEXT WEEK. ANOTHER STORM SYSTEM COULD AFFECT THE
AREA BY THE MIDDLE OF NEXT WEEK.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 PM THIS EVENING/...
WEAK RIDGE OF HIGH PRESSURE CONTINUES ACROSS THE SOUTHEAST...WITH
A TROUGH OF LOW PRESSURE FROM THE NRN FL COAST NORTHWARD ALONG THE
GA/CAROLINA COAST. THE HEAD OF THE COASTAL TROUGH IS CURRENTLY
POSITIONED JUST EAST OF JACKSONVILLE FLORIDA WITH NORTHEAST WINDS
NOTED ACROSS THE COASTAL WATERS BETWEEN LONG BAY AND SAINT SIMMONS
ISLAND. WV LOOP SHOWS S/W ENERGY ACROSS THE NRN/CNTRL PLAINS WITH
MAIN S/W ACROSS TX/OK. THESE FEATURES WILL CONTINUE TO MOVE TO THE
SE/E THROUGH THE DAY.

ISENTROPIC ASSENT NOT QUITE STRONG ENOUGH FOR WIDESPREAD
MENSURABLE RAIN THROUGH THE AFTERNOON AND WILL CONTINUE TO
THICKENING CLOUD COVER. HOWEVER...A FEW LIGHT SHOWERS/SPRINKLES
WILL OCCUR. EXPECT PRECIPITATION AMOUNTS TO BE LESS THAN ONE TENTH
OF AN INCH.

WITH CLOUD COVER AND LIGHT PRECIPITATION HAVE LOWERED TEMPERATURES
SLIGHTLY TO THE UPPER 50S/AROUND 60S INLAND PORTIONS OF THE
LOWCOUNTRY TO FAR SOUTHERN AREAS FROM SAVANNAH SOUTH TO DARIEN AND
LUDOWICI WHERE MID 60S ARE LIKELY.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 PM THIS EVENING THROUGH SUNDAY/...
TONIGHT...ISOLATED-SCATTERED LIGHT RAIN SHOWERS WILL GRADUALLY
END FROM WEST-EAST THIS EVENING AS A COLD FRONT MOVES ACROSS THE
REGION. THE FRONT IS EXPECTED TO BE WELL OFFSHORE BY SUNRISE
SATURDAY AS LOW PRESSURE RAPIDLY DEEPENS OFF THE MIDDLE ATLANTIC
COAST. TEMPERATURES WILL INITIALLY BE HELD UP WITHIN THE WARM
SECTOR AND WILL BEGIN TO STEADILY FALL IN ITS WAKE AS COLD AIR
ADVECTION ENSUES. LOWS SATURDAY MORNING WILL RANGE FROM THE UPPER
30S/NEAR 40 IN THE MILLEN-SYLVANIA-ALLENDALE CORRIDOR TO THE UPPER
40S ALONG THE COAST.

SATURDAY...SURFACE LOW PRESSURE WILL LIFT OFF THE VIRGINIA AND
NORTH CAROLINA COASTLINE BY DAYBREAK SATURDAY...WHILE SHORTWAVE
ENERGY TRAVERSES THE FORECAST AREA AND PROVIDES THE FINAL PUSH OF
THE COLD FRONT OFFSHORE. ANY ASSOCIATED SHOWER ACTIVITY WILL BE
QUICKLY SHIFTING INTO THE WATERS SATURDAY MORNING...AS A MUCH
DRIER AIR MASS FOLLOWS IN THE WAKE OF THE FRONT. THE FIRST WAVE OF
COLD ADVECTION WILL SUPPRESS HIGH TEMPERATURES IN THE UPPER 50S
SATURDAY AFTERNOON...WITH BREEZY CONDITIONS UNDER AN INTENSIFYING
LOW LEVEL JET AND TIGHTENED PRESSURE GRADIENT.

SATURDAY NIGHT...MORE SIGNIFICANT COLD AIR ADVECTION WILL OCCUR
OVERNIGHT...AS THE AXIS OF THE BROAD UPPER TROUGH CROSSES THE EAST
COAST. A SECONDARY DRY FRONT WILL ALSO PASS THROUGH THE
REGION...LEADING AN IMPRESSIVE WAVE OF ARCTIC AIR INTO THE
SOUTHEAST STATES. TEMPERATURES WILL RAPIDLY FALL INTO THE 20S FOR
MANY LOCATIONS AS ADVECTION PUSHES CONSIDERABLE COLD AIR TOWARD
THE COASTLINE. A 30 TO 40 KT LOW LEVEL JET UNDERNEATH A NEARLY 150
KT UPPER JET WILL MAINTAIN DECENT NORTHWEST FLOW OVERNIGHT...
CONTRIBUTING TO WIND CHILL VALUES IN THE 12-18 DEGREE RANGE.
RESIDENTS OF SOUTHEAST SOUTH CAROLINA AND SOUTHEAST GEORGIA WITH
SENSITIVE OUTDOOR VEGETATION WILL WANT TO TAKE THE PROPER
PRECAUTIONS. SINCE THE FROST/FREEZE PROGRAM HAS YET TO OFFICIALLY
BEGIN...FROST ADVISORIES OR FREEZE WATCHES/WARNINGS WILL NOT BE
ISSUED FOR THIS EVENT. HOWEVER...WILL CONTINUE TO HIGHLIGHT THE
COLD WEATHER IN THE HAZARDOUS WEATHER OUTLOOK AND WILL CONSIDER
ISSUING SPECIAL WEATHER STATEMENTS AS THE COLD SPELL APPROACHES.

SUNDAY...WITH COLD HIGH PRESSURE IN PLACE...TEMPERATURES ON SUNDAY
WILL BE DRAMATICALLY LOWER COMPARED TO PREVIOUS DAYS. EXPECT
TEMPERATURES TO BE SUPPRESSED IN THE UPPER 40S TO AROUND 50
DEGREES DESPITE ABUNDANT SUNSHINE. LOW TEMPERATURES ON SUNDAY
NIGHT COULD EVEN BE A DEGREE OR TWO COLDER THAN SATURDAY
NIGHT...AS RADIATIONAL COOLING WILL BE MORE EFFICIENT UNDER
LIGHTER WINDS AND CLEAR SKIES.

MONDAY...EXPECT A GRADUAL MODERATION IN TEMPERATURES TO BEGIN ON
MONDAY...AS SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE STEADILY TRACKS EAST TOWARD THE
COASTLINE AND HEIGHTS ALOFT BEGIN TO SUBTLY INCREASE. LIGHT WINDS
COULD ACTUALLY SHIFT AROUND TO THE SOUTH AND EFFECTIVELY SHUT OFF
ANY LINGERING COLD ADVECTION. HIGH TEMPERATURES ON MONDAY WILL
REACH THE UPPER 50S.

LAKE WINDS...STRONG WINDS ARE EXPECTED TO DEVELOP ON LAKE MOULTRIE
FOLLOWING THE PASSAGE OF A COLD FRONT SATURDAY AND THEN INCREASE
FURTHER BEHIND A REINFORCING COLD FRONT SATURDAY NIGHT. A LAKE
WIND ADVISORY WILL LIKELY BE NEEDED SATURDAY AFTERNOON THROUGH
SUNDAY MORNING.

&&

.LONG TERM /SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY/...
SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE WILL CONTINUE TO TRACK EAST INTO THE ATLANTIC
WATERS LATE MONDAY THROUGH TUESDAY. SHORTWAVE ENERGY EMBEDDED
WITHIN NEARLY ZONAL FLOW ALOFT WILL SHIFT INTO THE FORECAST AREA
BY TUESDAY AFTERNOON...ACCOMPANIED BY A DEVELOPING SURFACE FRONT.
THIS SYSTEM APPEARS TO HAVE A DECENT TAP INTO DEEP MOISTURE DURING
ITS APPROACH ON TUESDAY...WITH FORECAST MODELS SHOWING EVIDENCE OF
STRONG WARM ADVECTION AND SOUTHWEST FLOW LIKELY TAPPING INTO GULF
MOISTURE. WILL THUS CONTINUE TO CARRY RAIN CHANCES 30 PERCENT OR
LESS LATE MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY NIGHT...ACCOUNTING FOR SOME
UNCERTAINTY IN THE TIMING AND TRACK OF THE FRONT.

MEDIUM RANGE FORECAST MODELS ARE INDICATING LITTLE TO NO COLD
ADVECTION BEHIND THE FRONT...AND TEMPERATURES MID TO LATE WEEK
COULD ACTUALLY REMAIN ABOVE SEASONAL NORMALS AS THE WEATHER
PATTERN APPEARS MORE UNSETTLED. CONFIDENCE IN FORECAST DETAILS
FOLLOWING THE TUESDAY FRONTAL SYSTEM IS QUITE LOW...AND PREFER TO
LEAN TOWARD A BLEND OF GUIDANCE AND PERSISTENCE AT THIS TIME.
WILL KEEP POPS BELOW 15 PERCENT FOR WEDNESDAY...THEN REINTRODUCE
RAIN CHANCES THURSDAY AND FRIDAY AS ANOTHER SURFACE WAVE/FRONTAL
SYSTEM COULD IMPACT THE SOUTHEAST STATES LATE WEEK.

&&

.AVIATION /19Z FRIDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
CONVERGENCE ASSOCIATED WITH THE COASTAL TROUGH AND APPROACHING COLD
FRONT WILL RESULT IN MVFR OR VFR CEILINGS. DRYING WILL OCCUR LATE
TONIGHT AS THE DEVELOPING LOW PRESSURE OFF THE COAST BEGINS TO LIFT
NORTHEASTWARD AND WEST WINDS DEVELOP. USED THE GFS MOS AND LAMP FOR
THE TIMING. IT WILL BE BREEZY SATURDAY. MODEL TIME-HEIGHT DISPLAYS
SUPPORT GUSTS NEAR 25 KNOTS.

EXTENDED AVIATION OUTLOOK...A WARM FRONT MAY RESULT IN WIDESPREAD
IFR CONDITIONS TUESDAY INTO WEDNESDAY.

&&

.MARINE...
TONIGHT...DID NOT MAKE MANY CHANCES TO THE CURRENT FORECAST.
TROUGH/COLD FRONT STILL PROGGED TO MOVE THROUGH THE REGION AND THE
COASTAL WATERS THROUGH THE OVERNIGHT HOURS. THE MAIN FRONT WILL BE
MOVING OUT OF THE GULF STREAM BY SUNRISE. THE INITIAL BOUT OF COLD
ADVECTION LOOKS FAIRLY WEAK...WHICH SHOULD ONLY YIELD A MODEST
INCREASE IN BOTH WINDS AND SEAS FOR MUCH TONIGHT. HOWEVER AS WE
APPROACH THE MORNING HOURS...SPEEDS WILL BEGIN GO STEADILY INCREASE
TO NEAR SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY CONDITIONS NEAR THE COAST.  FURTHER
OFFSHORE...EXPECTING WINDS TO INCREASE QUICKER...AND HAVE THUS
DECIDED TO PUT OUT A SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY FOR THE OFFSHORE WATERS
FROM 20NM AND OUT BEGINNING AT 4 AM.

SATURDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY...THE MAIN COLD FRONT WILL PUSH THROUGH
THE FORECAST AREA SATURDAY MORNING...WITH ANOTHER STRONGER PUSH OF
COLD AIR COMING IN SATURDAY EVENING. WITH THE WARMER WATERS OFF THE
COAST...EXPECT GOOD MIXING TO OCCUR SATURDAY INTO SUNDAY.  WINDS
NEAR THE SHORE OUT TO 20 NM WILL INCREASE TO SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY
CONDITIONS SATURDAY MORNING...AND SHOULD LAST THROUGH AT LEAST
SUNDAY AFTERNOON.  FURTHER OFFSHORE...WINDS WILL CONTINUE AT SMALL
CRAFT ADVISORY CRITERIA...AND THEN BEGINNING LATE SATURDAY EVENING
AND OVERNIGHT...PORTIONS OF THE OFFSHORE 20 NM AND OUT COULD
ACTUALLY SEE GALE FORCE WIND GUSTS.  HAVE ELECTED TO HOIST A GALE
WATCH FOR THE GA OFFSHORE WATERS 20 NM AND OUT FROM 00Z SUNDAY NIGHT
THROUGH 15Z SUNDAY.

CONDITIONS MAY SLOWLY IMPROVE BY SUNDAY AFTERNOON AND EVENING AND
THE PRESSURE GRADIENT WEAKENS AND THE HIGH BEGINS TO SETTLE IN.   AT
THIS TIME...IT STILL APPEARS THAT CONDITIONS WILL DROP BELOW
ADVISORY LEVELS ACROSS THE NEAR SHORE WATERS AROUND NOON ON
SUNDAY...WITH SEAS MOST LIKELY REMAINING AT OR ABOVE CRITERIA ACROSS
THE OUTER GEORGIA WATERS THROUGH LATE SUNDAY AFTERNOON OR EARLY
SUNDAY EVENING. CONDITIONS WILL CONTINUE TO IMPROVE SUNDAY NIGHT
THROUGH MONDAY NIGHT...THEN POSSIBLY GO DOWNHILL AGAIN TUESDAY INTO
WEDNESDAY AS ANOTHER AREA OF LOW PRESSURE MOVES THROUGH THE
SOUTHEAST STATES.

&&

.FIRE WEATHER...
IT WILL BE BREEZY AND DRY BEHIND THE COLD FRONT SATURDAY. EXPECT
THERE WILL LIKELY BE A PERIOD OF SUSTAINED WINDS AROUND 20 MPH WITH
GUSTS NEAR 35 MPH. RELATIVE HUMIDITIES WILL LIKELY LOWER TO NEAR 25
PERCENT. WE HAVE COORDINATED WITH THE SOUTH CAROLINA FORESTRY
COMMISSION AND THE UNITED STATES FOREST SERVICE. A FIRE WEATHER
WATCH HAS BEEN POSTED FOR SATURDAY.
