AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE CHARLESTON SC
146 AM EDT SAT SEP 8 2012

.SYNOPSIS...
WEAK HIGH PRESSURE WILL REMAIN ACROSS THE SOUTHWEST ATLANTIC
THROUGH TONIGHT WITH A SUBTLE TROUGH OF LOW PRESSURE PERSISTING
INLAND. A COLD FRONT WILL APPROACH LATE SATURDAY AND MOVE SLOWLY
THROUGH THE AREA THROUGH SUNDAY. STRONG HIGH PRESSURE WILL BUILD
FROM THE NORTH IN WAKE OF THE FRONT AND PERSIST THROUGH MUCH OF
NEXT WEEK.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM THIS MORNING/...
THE UPPER LEVEL PATTERN SHOWS A WEAKENING TUTT LOW NE OF THE
BAHAMAS...SHORT WAVE RIDGING ATOP THE AREA FROM THE MAIN ANTICYCLONE
CENTERED NEAR THE OLD MEXICO AND US BORDER. THERE IS ALSO A
DISTURBANCE IN THE NORTHERN GULF ASSOCIATED WITH REMNANT ENERGY
FROM WHAT ONCE WAS ISAAC. AT THE SURFACE...THERE IS RIDGING FROM
THE ATLANTIC ACROSS FL...WEAK TROUGHINESS LOCALLY AND WEAK LOW
PRESSURE SOUTH OF NEW ORLEANS. A COLD FRONT IS ALSO NOTED IN THE
CENTRAL STATES. THAT FRONT WILL SLIP TOWARD THE SE TONIGHT...WHILE
THE SURFACE LOW IN THE GULF DRIFTS NE TONIGHT.

CONVECTION HAS DISSIPATED ACROSS THE AREA...BUT COULD SEE SOME
ISOLATED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS DEVELOP OFFSHORE LATER TONIGHT
WHERE THE BEST LOW LEVEL CONVERGENCE WILL OCCUR. IT/LL BE ANOTHER
WARM AND STICKY NIGHT WITH OVERNIGHT LOWS MAINLY IN THE LOWER AND
MIDDLE 70S.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 AM THIS MORNING THROUGH MONDAY/...
SATURDAY/SATURDAY NIGHT...THE SYNOPTIC PATTERN WILL GO THROUGH A
TRANSITION STAGE AS THE WEAK RIDGING ALOFT WILL GIVE WAY TO THE
FORMATION OF A BROAD AND GRADUALLY AMPLIFYING TROUGH THAT WILL MOVE
INTO THE EAST/SE STATES. THIS DEVELOPING TROUGH WILL FORCE THE
PERSISTENT TUTT LOW IN THE SW ATLANTIC TO OPEN UP AND SHIFT
EAST/NE...WHILE THE WEAK DISTURBANCE IN THE NORTHERN GULF OF MEXICO
BECOMES ABSORBED INTO THE TAIL END OF THE TROUGH. THIS SCENARIO WILL
ALLOW FOR A FAIRLY DECENT COLD FRONT TO HEAD SE TOWARD THE
APPALACHIAN CHAIN SATURDAY...THEN INTO AREA SATURDAY NIGHT. THE
FRONTAL PROGRESSION WILL SLOW AFTER IT CROSSES THE MOUNTAINS AS IT
BEGINS ORIENTED PARALLEL TO THE FLOW ALOFT.

MOISTURE WILL INCREASE IN ADVANCE OF THE FRONT...INITIALLY ON
SATURDAY COMING FROM THE SW AS MOISTURE ASSOCIATED WITH THE GULF OF
MEXICO FEATURE IS DRAWN NE AND SKIRTS THE SOUTHERN SECTIONS OF THE
CWFA. THEN DEEPER MOISTURE ADVECTS INTO THE AREA SATURDAY NIGHT AS
THE FRONT DRAW CLOSER...AND PWATS CLIMB TO 1.75-2.00 INCHES. IT
LOOKS LIKE ANY EARLY MORNING CONVECTION SATURDAY WILL STAY OFFSHORE
AS THE LOW LEVEL FLOW IS TOO MUCH OFFSHORE THE COAST. THUS WE/LL
KEEP THE MORNING HOURS DRY...SHOWING COVERAGE INCREASING DURING THE
AFTERNOON AS THE GULF MOISTURE STARTS TO WORK ITS WAY IN...AND
INTERACTS WITH THE RESULTANT SEA BREEZE. WE/LL LIMIT POPS TO SLIGHT
CHANCE NORTH AND CHANCE SOUTH SATURDAY AFTERNOON...BUT AS DEEPER
MOISTURE POOLS AS THE FRONT APPROACHES SATURDAY NIGHT AND BETTER
UPPER FORCING ARRIVES WE/LL INCREASE COVERAGE TO 50 PERCENT. THIS
WILL BE A CONSERVATIVE FORECAST FOR SOME LOCATIONS...AND FIGURE THAT
LATER FORECAST ISSUANCES WILL NEED TO RAISE POPS AT LEAST FOR PARTS
OF THE AREA ONCE TRENDS BECOME MORE DEFINED.

THERE IS LITTLE IF ANY HEIGHT FALLS SATURDAY AND SATURDAY
NIGHT...THE BEST UPPER DIFFLUENCE REMAINS NORTH AND WEST WHILE THE
INSTABILITY IS RATHER WEAK. WITH POOR MID LEVEL LAPSE RATES AND
SBCAPES NO MORE THAN ABOUT 1200-1800 J/KG WE/RE NOT THAT IMPRESSED
WITH THE SEVERE POTENTIAL. HOWEVER...LOW LEVEL LAPSE RATES SATURDAY
AFTERNOON/EVENING AS AS HIGH AS 8-9C AND 0-6 KM BULK SHEAR DOES
CLIMB AS HIGH AS 15-25 KT LATE SATURDAY INTO SATURDAY NIGHT. SO FOR
THAT REASON WE CAN/T RULE OUT A FEW STRONGER STORMS...AND WITH
BOUNDARY INTERACTIONS POSSIBLE AND DCAPES AS HIGH AS 800-1000
J/KG...WITH LINGERING MID LEVEL DRY AIR THERE IS A RISK OF STRONG
WINDS.

850 MB TEMPS ARE FAIRLY UNIFORM AROUND 18C ACROSS THE AREA
SATURDAY...AND WITH SOME COMPRESSIONAL HEATING AHEAD OF THE FRONT WE
LOOK FOR MAX TEMPS A COUPLE OF DEGREES EITHER SIDE OF 90 AWAY FROM
THE A SLIGHTLY COOLER BEACHES. EXTREMELY MUGGY CONDITIONS AS THE
FRONT LIMPS TOWARD THE AREA SATURDAY NIGHT...WITH LOWS FROM SOME
UPPER 60S IN ALLENDALE TO THE LOWER AND MIDDLE 70S ELSEWHERE.

SUNDAY/SUNDAY NIGHT...A SHORT WAVE EMBEDDED WITHIN THE TROUGH ALOFT
OVER THE EASTERN U.S. WILL PUSH THROUGH THE AREA DURING THE LATE
MORNING/AFTERNOON HOURS...EVENTUALLY PUSHING THE SLOW MOVING COLD
FRONT THROUGH AT THE SURFACE. ALTHOUGH DRIER AIR WILL ARRIVE IN WAKE
OF THE FRONT AS A COOLER AND DRIER AIR MASS FROM CANADA BEGINS TO
ARRIVE FROM THE NW...THERE ARE STILL SOME UNCERTAINTIES IN REGARDS
TO THE TIMING SINCE THE FRONT INITIALLY WILL BE PARALLEL TO THE FLOW
ALOFT. WE/LL SHOW SLIGHT CHANCE POPS NORTH AND NW TO CHANCE POPS
SOUTH AND SE SUNDAY...THEN ONLY SLIGHT POPS FAR SE SUNDAY NIGHT.
FURTHER REFINEMENTS WILL BE POSSIBLE PENDING THE PROGRESSION OF THE
FRONT. AS 850 MB TEMPS FALL TO 14-16C ON SUNDAY...THEN DOWN A COUPLE
OF MORE DEGREES CELSIUS SUNDAY NIGHT...THERE WILL EVENTUALLY BE A
MORE NOTICEABLE CHANGE IN THE AIR. MAX TEMPS SUNDAY WILL BE IN THE
MID AND UPPER 80S...AND MIN TEMPS SUNDAY NIGHT AT PRESENT WILL RANGE
FROM LOWER 60S NW TIER TO THE MID AND UPPER 60S MOST ELSEWHERE. THE
EXCEPTION WILL BE THE COASTLINE WHERE SOME LOWER 70S WILL BE COMMON.

MONDAY...A DRY WEST AND NW FLOW WILL ENCOMPASS THE REGION AS
CANADIAN HIGH PRESSURE SETTLES INTO THE EASTERN HALF OF THE NATION.
PLENTIFUL SUNSHINE AND 850 MB TEMPS AROUND 12-13C WILL COMBINE WITH
LOWER HUMIDITY LEVELS TO PROVIDE THE AREA WITH THE FIRST HINTS OF
AUTUMN-LIKE WEATHER...WITH MAX TEMPS IN THE LOWER-MIDDLE 80S.

&&

.LONG TERM /MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY/...
DRY AND COOLER CONDITIONS WILL PERSIST THROUGH MUCH OF NEXT WEEK
AS HIGH PRESSURE REMAINS THE DOMINANT WEATHER FEATURE OVER THE
SOUTHEASTERN UNITED STATES. LIGHT NORTH/NORTHEAST FLOW WILL KEEP SKIES
MOSTLY SUNNY WITH OVERALL HIGH TEMPS IN THE MID 80S AND OVERNIGHT
LOWS IN THE LOW/MID 60S. EXPECT A GRADUAL INCREASE IN MOISTURE LATE
WEEK AS WINDS BECOME ONSHORE AROUND THE SOUTHERN BASE OF HIGH
PRESSURE TO THE NORTHEAST.

&&

.AVIATION /06Z SATURDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
VFR CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED TO PREVAIL AT KCHS AND KSAV THROUGH
06Z SUNDAY. THERE IS A LOW PROBABILITY THAT MVFR CEILINGS COULD
DEVELOP FOR A FEW HOURS TOWARD DAYBREAK DUE TO STRATUS FORMATION.
ISOLATED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS COULD DEVELOP LATE THIS
AFTERNOON...WITH SLIGHTLY BETTER COVERAGE EXPECTED ACROSS
SOUTHEAST GEORGIA. AS A RESULT...HAVE INCLUDED A PROB30 GROUP FOR
THUNDERSTORMS FROM 21-01Z AT ONLY KSAV. THE POTENTIAL FOR SHOWERS
AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL INCREASE AS THE NIGHT PROGRESSES AHEAD OF A
COLD FRONT...BUT IT IS VERY POSSIBLE THE BULK OF THE CONVECTION
WILL OCCUR AFTER THE VALID TAF PERIOD SO WILL NOT INCLUDE MENTION
IN THE FORECAST AT THIS TIME.

EXTENDED AVIATION OUTLOOK...THERE IS MODERATE RISK OF MVFR/IFR
CONDITIONS IN ASSOCIATION WITH A COLD FRONT LATE SATURDAY
NIGHT/EARLY SUNDAY. OTHERWISE VFR CONDITIONS WILL PREVAIL.

&&

.MARINE...
TONIGHT...WEAK HIGH PRESSURE OVER THE SOUTHWEST ATLANTIC AND A SUBTLE
TROUGH OF LOW PRESSURE INLAND WILL MAINTAIN A SOUTHWEST FLOW OVER
THE COASTAL WATERS. SOME WEAK SURGING WILL KEEP WINDS UP AROUND 15
KT FOR THE REMAINDER OF THE NIGHT. SWELL GENERATED FROM TROPICAL
CYCLONE LESLIE...WITH PERIODS OF AROUND 12 SECONDS...WILL CONTINUE
TO IMPACT THE WATERS AND EXPECT SEAS TO REMAIN 2-4 FT WITHIN 20 NM
AND UP TO 5 FT ACROSS THE OUTER GEORGIA WATERS.

SATURDAY/SATURDAY NIGHT...THE PRESSURE GRADIENT WILL TAKE ON A
TIGHTER FORM AS IT INCREASES BETWEEN AN UPSTREAM COLD FRONT AND WEAK
ATLANTIC HIGH PRESSURE. WHILE MIXING IS TEMPERED BY THE WARM
ADVECTION...WE STILL LOOK FOR SW WINDS TO CLIMB AS HIGH AS 13-18 KT
SATURDAY AND 15-20 KT MUCH OF SATURDAY NIGHT. THE WAVE SPECTRUM WILL
BE COMPRISED OF BOTH LONG PERIOD SWELL ENERGY AND SHORT PERIOD WIND
DRIVEN WAVES. CONFIDENCE AND PROBABILITIES ARE NOT HIGH ENOUGH TO
ISSUE ANY SCA FOR THE OUTER GA WATERS...BUT THERE COULD BE SOME 6
FOOTERS ARRIVING NEAR 50 OR 60 NM OFF THE SE GA COAST LATE SATURDAY
INTO SATURDAY NIGHT. FOR THE MOST PART IT LOOKS LIKE SEAS WILL MAX
OUT AT 3-5 FEET. MARINERS ARE ADVISED THAT SOME STRONGER T-STORMS
ARE POSSIBLE OUT AHEAD OF THE FRONT...WITH GUSTY WINDS...HEAVY RAINS
AND LIGHTNING STRIKES TO OCCUR.

SUNDAY/SUNDAY NIGHT...THE COLD FRONT WILL GRADUALLY PUSH THROUGH THE
COASTAL WATERS...ALLOWING FOR WINDS TO CLOCK AROUND FROM WEST AND
NW EARLY SUNDAY TO THE NORTH AND NE BY LATE SUNDAY INTO SUNDAY
NIGHT. WIND SPEEDS SUNDAY WILL BE NO MORE THAN ABOUT 10-13 KT...BUT
COOL ADVECTION SUNDAY NIGHT AND MODEST PINCHING AS HIGH PRESSURE
BUILDS FROM THE NW WILL ALLOW FOR SPEEDS TO INCREASE TO AROUND 12-17
KT. SEAS WILL BE CAPPED AT 5 FEET...STILL THE MIXTURE OF LONG
PERIOD SWELLS AND SHORT PERIOD WIND DRIVEN WAVES.

MONDAY...THERE WILL EXIST ENOUGH OF A GRADIENT BETWEEN THE DEPARTING
COLD FRONT AND A 1023 MB HIGH CENTERED OVER THE OHIO VALLEY TO
GENERATE NORTH TO NE WINDS AS HIGH AS 15-20 KT. THIS FAVORABLE FETCH
IN TURN WILL ALLOW FOR SEAS TO BUILD ANOTHER FOOT...AND MARGINAL
SCA/S WILL BE POSSIBLE ESPECIALLY ACROSS AMZ374.

TUESDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY...SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY CONDITIONS MAY
LINGER THROUGH MID-WEEK OVER OUTER GEORGIA WATERS WHILE
NORTH/NORTHEAST FLOW PERSISTS IN THE CIRCULATION AROUND STRONG HIGH
PRESSURE TO THE NORTH.

RIP CURRENTS...A CONTINUATION OF LONG PERIOD SWELLS FROM TC LESLIE
WILL IMPACT THE BEACHES AGAIN ON SATURDAY...RESULTING IN A MODERATE
RISK OF RIP CURRENTS. THE RISK WILL REMAIN ELEVATED INTO AT LEAST
EARLY NEXT WEEK WITH LINGERING SWELL ENERGY AND EVENTUALLY A NE
FETCH DEVELOPING.
