AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE CHARLESTON SC
1001 PM EST WED JAN 11 2012

.SYNOPSIS...
A WEAK AREA OF HIGH PRESSURE WILL BUILD INTO THE REGION THROUGH
THURSDAY. A REINFORCING COLD FRONT WILL THEN CROSS THE REGION
THURSDAY NIGHT. HIGH PRESSURE WILL BUILD BACK IN FROM THE WEST
OVER THE WEEKEND AND SETTLE IN ALONG THE EASTERN SEABOARD EARLY
NEXT WEEK. ANOTHER FRONTAL SYSTEM COULD IMPACT THE EASTERN UNITED
STATES BY MID WEEK.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM THURSDAY MORNING/...
THE COLD FRONT HAS MOVED EAST OF THE FORECAST AREA LATE THIS
EVENING WITH COOL DRY HIGH PRESSURE BUILDING IN ITS WAKE. CLEAR
SKIES EXPECTED THROUGH THE EARLY MORNING HOURS...AFTER WHICH SOME
STRATUS UNDER THE UPPER LOW PRESSURE COMMA HEAD COULD PUSH INTO
OUR WESTERN ZONES. HOWEVER...SINCE MOST OF THE OVERNIGHT COOLING
WILL BE DUE TO ADVECTION...THIS INCREASE IN CLOUDINESS WILL NOT
PUT A HUGE DAMPER ON SURFACE COOLING. BASED ON TEMPERATURE TRENDS
DURING THE LAST COUPLE HOURS...WE BUMPED OVERNIGHT LOWS DOWN BY
2-3 DEGREES.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 AM THURSDAY MORNING THROUGH SATURDAY/...
THURSDAY AND THURSDAY NIGHT...THE PERIOD WILL BEGIN WITH THE REGION
IN A BROAD TROFFING REGIME ALOFT WITH ONE CLOSED LOW OVER THE MID
ATLANTIC AND ANOTHER EXTENDING ACROSS THE NORTHERN PLAINS. THIS
SECOND CLOSED LOW WILL MOVE EASTWARD INTO THE OH VALLEY THROUGH
THURSDAY NIGHT WITH A 130 KT 250 MB JET PUSHING ACROSS THE
SOUTHEAST. AT THE SURFACE...ONE MORE WARM DAY IS ON TAP FOR THURSDAY
OUT AHEAD OF AN APPROACHING COLD FRONT. BREEZY SW FLOW CAN BE
EXPECTED AND MODEL LOW LEVEL THICKNESS VALUES SUPPORT HIGHS IN THE
MID TO UPPER 60S ACROSS THE REGION IN THE AFTERNOON. SKIES SHOULD BE
MOSTLY CLEAR TO PARTLY CLOUDY...MAINLY TO ACCOUNT FOR AFTERNOON HIGH
CLOUDS. THE COLD FRONT WILL BEGIN TO PUSH INTO THE FORECAST AREA
FROM THE WEST THURSDAY EVENING AND IS EXPECTED TO BE OFFSHORE BY
EARLY FRIDAY MORNING. ALTHOUGH THE FRONT IS RELATIVELY MOISTURE
STARVED...PWATS DO INCREASE TO AROUND 0.8 INCHES IMMEDIATELY AHEAD
OF THE FRONT. FURTHERMORE...THE SUITE OF OPERATIONAL MODELS SEEM TO
BE TRENDING TOWARD GENERATING MORE PRECIP WITH THE FRONT. THE NAM
HAS BEEN MOST CONSISTENT BUT NOW EVEN THE GFS AND ECMWF ARE PUMPING
OUT A FEW HUNDREDTHS OF QPF. AFTER LOOKING AT MODEL SOUNDINGS...IT
APPEARS THAT ANY RAINFALL WILL BE VERY LIGHT AT BEST AND FALLING OUT
OF MAINLY MID-LEVEL CLOUDS. I HAVE OPTED TO CONTINUE ADVERTISING A
DRY FORECAST AND WILL LET UPCOMING SHIFTS REEVALUATE FUTURE MODEL
RUNS. STOUT COLD ADVECTION WILL COMMENCE JUST BEHIND THE
FRONT...RESULTING IN A BREEZY TO GUSTY NIGHT. OVERNIGHT LOWS WILL
FALL INTO THE MID TO UPPER 30S AS A 50 KT LOW LEVEL JET USHERS IN
SUB ZERO 850 MB TEMPS.

FRIDAY THROUGH SATURDAY...THE MEAN LONGWAVE UPPER TROF WILL REMAIN
OVER THE EASTERN THIRD OF THE COUNTRY WITH A SERIES OF SHORTWAVES
PASSING QUICKLY IN THE PROGRESSIVE FLOW. AT THE SURFACE...HIGH
PRESSURE WILL SLOWLY BUILD IN FROM THE WEST THROUGH THE END OF THE
PERIOD. LOW LEVEL FLOW WILL REMAIN PRIMARILY OUT OF THE WEST AND
MUCH COOLER AIR WILL BE IN PLACE. FRIDAYS HIGHS WILL STRUGGLE TO
REACH THE LOW 50S IN THE ONGOING COLD ADVECTION...WITH ONLY SLIGHT
MODERATION EXPECTED FOR SATURDAY WITH TEMPS PERHAPS REACHING THE MID
50S. FRIDAY NIGHT WILL BE A COLD NIGHT WITH LOWS FALLING BELOW
FREEZING FOR ALMOST THE ENTIRE AREA.

LAKE WINDS...BREEZY CONDITIONS CAN BE EXPECTED ALONG THE SHORES OF
LAKE MOULTRIE THURSDAY AFTERNOON IN THE SOUTHWEST FLOW OUT AHEAD OF
AN APPROACHING COLD FRONT...BUT A LAKE WIND ADVISORY IS NOT
ANTICIPATED AT THIS TIME. WINDS WILL THEN STRENGTHEN THURSDAY NIGHT
BEHIND THE FRONT IN STRONG COLD ADVECTION. A LAKE WIND ADVISORY WILL
LIKELY BE NEEDED THURSDAY NIGHT AS WIND GUSTS OF UP TO 30 KTS WILL
BE POSSIBLE.

&&

.LONG TERM /SATURDAY NIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
THE LAST IN A SERIES OF SHORTWAVE TROUGHS WILL DIVE FROM THE
NORTHERN PLAINS STATES INTO THE MID ATLANTIC REGION ON
SUNDAY...WHILE THE ASSOCIATED SURFACE SYSTEM REMAINS NORTH OF THE
FORECAST AREA AS IT CROSSES THE COASTLINE. DRY SURFACE HIGH
PRESSURE WILL PERSIST ACROSS THE SOUTHEAST STATES SUNDAY THROUGH
TUESDAY...MAINTAINING RAIN FREE WEATHER. THE SURFACE HIGH WILL
BE STEADILY TRACKING EAST AND OFF THE ATLANTIC COAST MONDAY AND
TUESDAY...WHILE A TRANSIENT UPPER RIDGE BUILDS ALOFT. A FRONTAL
SYSTEM COULD APPROACH FROM THE WEST BEHIND THE DEPARTING SURFACE
HIGH BY MID WEEK...BRINGING A CHANCE FOR RAIN LATE IN THE PERIOD.
TEMPERATURES WILL STEADILY MODERATE THROUGH THE EXTENDED
PERIOD...WITH HIGH TEMPERATURES POSSIBLY WARMING BACK INTO THE
LOWER 60S TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY.

&&

.AVIATION /03Z THURSDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...
VFR CONDITIONS ANTICIPATED THROUGH 00Z FRI. THERE IS ONLY A
SLIGHT CHANCE FOR A BRIEF LOW CEILING TO DEVELOP AT SAV AROUND
DAYBREAK THU. MOISTURE WILL PROBABLY POOL JUST WEST OF THE
TERMINAL SO WE LEFT OUT ANY MENTION. BREEZY CONDITIONS EXPECTED ON
THURSDAY...ESPECIALLY LATE IN THE AFTERNOON INTO THE EVENING AS
ANOTHER COLD FRONT APPROACHES AND A LOW-LEVEL JET DEVELOPS.

EXTENDED AVIATION OUTLOOK...VFR CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED TO
PREVAIL THROUGH THE WEEKEND.

&&

.MARINE...
HIGH PRESSURE WILL CONTINUE TO BUILD OVER THE WATERS TONIGHT. THE
INITIAL SURGE IS BEGINNING TO TAPER OFF BUT COLD ADVECTION AND
CONSIDERABLE LOW-LEVEL JETTING WILL KEEP WINDS UP FOR MUCH OF THE
NIGHT. WE WENT AHEAD AND DROPPED THE SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY IN THE
HARBOR DUE TO A SIGNIFICANT DROP IN WINDS DURING THE LAST 3 HRS.
ELSEWHERE WE LEFT FLAGS AS-IS...WHICH STILL SEEM TO BE ON TRACK.
NEARSHORE GA AND LOWER SC WATERS SHOULD DROP OFF BY EARLY THU
MORNING WHILE THE NORTHERN SC NEARSHORE LEG AND OFFSHORE GA LEG
CONTINUE TO BLOW WITH SEAS AS HIGH AS 6 FT THROUGH DAYBREAK.

THURSDAY THROUGH MONDAY...WINDS AND SEAS WILL BOTH RELAX A BIT
THROUGH THE DAY ON THURSDAY IN THE SW FLOW OUT AHEAD OF THE
APPROACHING COLD FRONT. CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED TO REMAIN BELOW SCA
CRITERIA THROUGH THE DAY. THE COLD FRONT IS POISED TO BEGIN ENTERING
THE LOCAL WATERS THURSDAY EVENING AND WILL QUICKLY PUSH OFF TO THE
EAST BY AROUND MIDNIGHT. STRONG COLD ADVECTION WILL COMMENCE
IMMEDIATELY BEHIND THE FRONT AND DEEP MIXING PROFILES WILL LEAD TO
STRENGTHENING WESTERLY WINDS. A 50 KT LOW LEVEL JET WILL PUSH ACROSS
THE REGION AND MODEL SOUNDINGS INDICATE THAT WINDS WILL APPROACH
GALE CRITERIA FOR SEVERAL HOURS EARLY FRIDAY MORNING. SINCE THE
TIME IN QUESTION FALLS IN THE THIRD PERIOD...I HAVE OPTED NOT TO
ISSUE A GALE WATCH WITH THIS FORECAST PACKAGE. INSTEAD WILL ADD A
MENTION IN THE HWO. WINDS WILL REMAIN ELEVATED THROUGH THE DAY ON
FRIDAY...THOUGH ONLY TO SCA CRITERIA FOLLOWING THE PERIOD OF
POSSIBLE GALES. HIGH PRESSURE WILL BUILD IN FROM THE WEST INTO
EARLY NEXT WEEK AND MARINE CONDITIONS WILL SLOWLY IMPROVE AS COLD
ADVECTION AND THE PRESSURE GRADIENT WEAKENS.

&&

.CHS WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
GA...NONE.
SC...NONE.
MARINE...SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY UNTIL 1 AM EST THURSDAY FOR AMZ352-354.
     SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY UNTIL 6 AM EST THURSDAY FOR AMZ350-374.
