AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE CHARLESTON SC
338 PM EDT TUE SEP 11 2012

.SYNOPSIS...
HIGH PRESSURE WILL DOMINATE THE WEATHER PATTERN ACROSS THE EASTERN
HALF OF THE UNITED STATES THIS WEEK. A WEAK TROUGH OF LOW PRESSURE
COULD APPROACH THE AREA FROM THE WEST LATE THIS WEEKEND.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM WEDNESDAY MORNING/...
SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE WILL LINGER OVER THE MID ATLANTIC AND
SOUTHEAST STATES TONIGHT...WHILE UPPER LEVEL RIDGING CONTROLS THE
PATTERN ALOFT. NUMERICAL MODEL CROSS SECTIONS AND FORECAST
SOUNDINGS CONTINUE TO INDICATE THAT MID LEVEL MOISTURE WILL ADVECT
OVER THE COASTAL WATERS AFTER MIDNIGHT...LIKELY INITIATING
ISOLATED SHOWER ACTIVITY ACROSS PORTIONS OF THE MARINE ZONES.
CONSIDERING THE ONSHORE COMPONENT OF PREVAILING NORTHEAST
FLOW...THERE IS A SMALL POTENTIAL FOR ISOLATED SHOWERS TO SLIP
ONTO ADJACENT LAND AREAS DURING THE PRE-DAWN HOURS...MAINLY ACROSS
THE SOUTHEAST GEORGIA COASTLINE. AT THIS POINT...PREFER TO CAP
POPS BELOW 15 PERCENT FOR COASTAL COUNTIES...SINCE COVERAGE AND
INTENSITY OF ANY PRECIPITATION OVER LAND WILL BE QUITE LIMITED AT
BEST.

THE INCREASE IN MOISTURE FROM OFFSHORE COULD SUPPORT THE
DEVELOPMENT OF SCATTERED STRATOCUMULUS ALONG THE IMMEDIATE
COASTLINE...AGAIN MOSTLY SOUTH OF THE SAVANNAH RIVER. MOSTLY CLEAR
SKIES ARE LIKELY ELSEWHERE...AND WHEN COMBINED WITH DIMINISHING
WINDS OVERNIGHT...WILL ONCE AGAIN CREATE AN IDEAL RADIATIONAL
COOLING ENVIRONMENT. LOW TEMPERATURES WILL THUS BE COOL
OVERNIGHT...FALLING INTO THE UPPER 50S INLAND TO THE LOWER 60S
ALONG THE COAST.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 AM WEDNESDAY MORNING THROUGH FRIDAY/...
WEDNESDAY AND WEDNESDAY NIGHT...THE MID/UPPER LEVEL RIDGE IN
PLACE ACROSS THE SOUTHEAST AND THE EASTERN SEABOARD WILL CONTINUE
TO STRENGTHEN WITH THE ANTICYCLONE BECOMING CENTERED JUST NORTH OF
THE FORECAST AREA. THE SURFACE PATTERN WILL REMAIN VERY SIMILAR TO
TUESDAY WITH HIGH PRESSURE LOCATED TO THE NORTHEAST. THIS WILL
MAINTAIN THE EAST/NORTHEAST FLOW REGIME ACROSS THE REGION. MODELS
CONTINUE TO SHOW INCREASING MOISTURE IN THE LOWEST 5-7 KFT OF THE
ATMOSPHERE WITH VERY DRY AIR ALOFT. DESPITE THE ABSENCE OF A WELL
DEFINED COASTAL TROF AND CONVERGENCE IN THE LOW LEVEL NORTHEAST
FLOW...THE MODELS CONTINUE TO DEPICT ISOLATED SHOWERS ACROSS THE
COASTAL WATERS. I HAVE KEPT THE OVERALL POP TREND AS IT WAS...WITH
SLIGHT CHANCES OFFSHORE AND THEN SOME SLIGHT CHANCES SLIPPING JUST
INLAND FURTHER SOUTH NEAR THE ALTAMAHA. TEMPS WILL CONTINUE TO BE
AT OR JUST BELOW NORMAL FOR MID SEPTEMBER.

THURSDAY THROUGH FRIDAY...THE MID/UPPER LEVEL RIDGE WILL GRADUALLY
WEAKEN AND GET SQUEEZED IN BETWEEN A POTENT SHORTWAVE TROF MOVING
ACROSS THE GREAT LAKES AND A LINGERING WEAK UPPER LOW OVER THE
ATLANTIC. WE WILL CONTINUE TO SEE A GOOD DEAL OF LOW LEVEL MOISTURE
IN PLACE...AND THE MID/UPPER LEVELS WILL MOISTEN UP AS WELL.
SOUNDINGS ON THURSDAY ARE STILL QUITE CAPPED OFF AND ANY SHOWER
ACTIVITY WILL PRIMARILY REMAIN CONFINED TO THE COASTAL WATERS AND
THE IMMEDIATE COASTLINE. BY FRIDAY...BETTER DEEP MOISTURE AND
SLIGHTLY MORE CONDUCIVE SOUNDINGS MAY ALLOW FOR SHOWER ACTIVITY TO
PENETRATE FURTHER INLAND. TEMPS WILL CONTINUE TO BE RIGHT AROUND
NORMAL.

&&

.LONG TERM /FRIDAY NIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY/...
CHANCES OF PRECIP WILL BEGIN TO INCREASE OVER THE WEEKEND AS SFC
FLOW BECOMES MORE ONSHORE AND A SERIES OF WEAK WAVES OVER THE
ATLANTIC SWING AROUND THE SOUTHERN BASE OF HIGH PRESSURE TO THE
NORTH AND EAST. HAVE MAINTAINED 15-20 POPS SATURDAY...BEFORE
INCREASING POPS TO HIGH END SLIGHT CHANCE OVER ALL AREAS LATE THIS
WEEKEND INTO EARLY NEXT. HAVE ALSO INCLUDED A SLIGHT CHANCE OF
THUNDERSTORMS BY SUNDAY AS INSTABILITY INCREASES AHEAD OF A WEAK
TROUGH APPROACHING THE AREA FROM THE WEST. CHANCES OF PRECIP LOOK TO
BE HIGHEST MONDAY AND TUESDAY AS A MID LVL WAVE DEVELOPS OVER THE
SOUTH CENTRAL UNITED STATES AND AND PASSES OVER THE SOUTHEAST.

&&

.AVIATION /19Z TUESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/...
VFR CONDITIONS EXPECTED THROUGH THE 18Z TAF PERIOD.

EXTENDED AVIATION OUTLOOK...VFR CONDITIONS WILL PREVAIL. LOW
CHANCES OF PERIODIC MVFR LEVEL CIGS EACH MORNING THROUGH THE END
OF THE WEEK.

&&

.MARINE...
LATEST SURFACE ANALYSIS REVEALS AN ENHANCED GRADIENT BETWEEN HIGH
PRESSURE ACROSS THE MID ATLANTIC/SOUTHEAST STATES AND LOWER
PRESSURES OVER THE GULF/BAHAMAS. AS A RESULT...SOME COASTAL AND
NEARSHORE OBSERVATIONS HAVE BEEN INDICATING NORTHEAST FLOW UP TO
15 TO 20 KT WITH OCCASIONAL HIGHER GUSTS. CURRENT THINKING IS THAT
MODERATE WINDS WILL CONTINUE ACROSS THE MARINE ZONES THROUGH
TONIGHT...ESPECIALLY OVER THE GEORGIA WATERS WHERE THE GRADIENT
WILL LIKELY REMAIN TIGHTEST. SEAS WITHIN 20 NM WILL RANGE FROM 3
TO 4 FT...YET SOME 5 FT HEIGHTS COULD IMPACT GRAYS REEF TONIGHT.

WEDNESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY...THE OVERALL SETUP WILL CONTINUE TO
FEATURE HIGH PRESSURE ALONG THE EASTERN SEABOARD WHICH WILL
SUPPORT A PERSISTENT NORTHEAST FLOW REGIME. THE PRESSURE GRADIENT
WILL REMAIN RELATIVELY TIGHT ACROSS THE WATERS THROUGH
THURSDAY...BEFORE RELAXING AS THE HIGH WEAKENS INTO THE WEEKEND.
ON WEDNESDAY...NORTHEAST FLOW WILL BE ON THE ORDER OF 15-20 KNOTS
WITH POTENTIAL FOR GUSTS TO 25 KNOTS ESPECIALLY ACROSS THE GEORGIA
WATERS. THE RESULTING INCREASE IN SEAS WILL BE A COMBINATION OF
LINGERING SWELL ENERGY AND WIND DRIVEN IN THE NORTHEAST FLOW.
GUIDANCE BRINGS 6 FOOT SEAS INTO THE OUTER GEORGIA WATERS IN THE
AFTERNOON AND AN SCA HAS BEEN ISSUED TO ACCOUNT FOR THE HIGHEST
LIKELIHOOD THERE. ADDITIONAL SCA/S MAY BE NEEDED FOR THE NEARSHORE
GEORGIA WATERS...AND PERHAPS THE SOUTHERN SOUTH CAROLINA
WATERS...BUT WILL LET THE MIDNIGHT SHIFT REASSESS THE PROBABILITY.

RIP CURRENTS...THE RISK OF RIP CURRENTS WILL REMAIN ELEVATED
THROUGH FRIDAY...DUE TO THE COMBINATION OF LINGERING SMALL LONG
PERIOD SWELLS AND ELEVATED EAST TO NORTHEAST WINDS.
