AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE CHARLESTON SC
656 PM EST SUN NOV 4 2012

.SYNOPSIS...
A WAVE OF LOW PRESSURE WILL STEADILY DESCEND SOUTHEAST INTO THE
AREA TONIGHT...WITH A TRAILING COLD FRONT CROSSING THE COASTLINE
AFTER MIDNIGHT. HIGH PRESSURE WILL BUILD FROM THE NORTH MONDAY.
LOW PRESSURE WILL DEVELOP NEAR THE GULF COAST MONDAY NIGHT AND
PASS JUST SOUTH AND EAST OF THE REGION TUESDAY...BRINGING RAIN TO
MANY LOCATIONS. THE LOW THEN WILL INTENSIFY AND TRACK UP THE
EASTERN SEABOARD THROUGH MIDWEEK. HIGH PRESSURE WILL BUILD INTO
THE REGION FROM THE NORTH LATE THIS WEEK AND PREVAIL THROUGH NEXT
WEEKEND.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH MONDAY/...
SURFACE LOW PRESSURE IS TRACKING ACROSS THE CHARLESTON TRI-COUNTY
AREA EARLY THIS EVENING...WHILE ITS TRAILING COLD FRONT PUSHES
THROUGH THE REMAINDER OF SOUTHEAST SOUTH CAROLINA AND SOUTHEAST
GEORGIA.

CONVECTION IS PRIMARILY FOCUSED ACROSS BERKELEY AND CHARLESTON
COUNTIES...BUT SOME ISOLATED SHOWERS/THUNDERSTORMS CONTINUE ALONG
THE FRONT ITSELF. THE THREAT FOR ANY ADDITIONAL SEVERE
THUNDERSTORMS WILL RAPIDLY COME TO AN END BY MID-EVENING AS
INSTABILITY WANES.

THE FRONT IS EXPECTED TO PASS ALL LAND BASED ZONES AFTER MIDNIGHT
BY 04Z TO 08Z...ALLOWING RAIN CHANCES TO STEADILY DECREASE FROM
NORTHWEST TO SOUTHEAST THROUGH THE NIGHT. ALTHOUGH COLD ADVECTION
BEHIND THE FRONT WILL BE DELAYED TO NEAR DAYBREAK MONDAY...LOW
TEMPERATURES WILL STILL BE SEVERAL DEGREES COOLER THAN SATURDAY
NIGHT...FALLING INTO THE UPPER 40S FAR INLAND TO THE MID 50S NEAR
THE COAST.

&&

.SHORT TERM /MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
MONDAY...SHORTWAVE RIDGING ALOFT AND ASSOCIATED SURFACE HIGH
PRESSURE WILL PROVIDE A COOLER AND RAIN-FREE DAY. MID/HIGH LEVEL
CLOUDS WILL BEGIN TO SPREAD INTO THE REGION AHEAD OF AN APPROACHING
SYSTEM...SO ANY SUNSHINE SHOULD FADE AS THE AFTERNOON PROGRESSES.

MONDAY NIGHT...A STRONG SHORTWAVE TROUGH ALOFT WILL DIG SE THROUGH
THE LOWER MS RIVER VALLEY...PROMOTING SURFACE CYCLOGENESIS ALONG THE
NORTHERN GULF COAST. AHEAD OF THESE FEATURES...OVERRUNNING
PRECIPITATION WILL BLOSSOM N/NE...AND RAIN COULD PUSH INTO THE
REGION OVERNIGHT...ESPECIALLY ACROSS S/W COUNTIES. 12Z GUIDANCE
DEPICTION OF MOISTURE TRENDS SUGGESTS THAT LOW LEVEL DRY AIR COULD
DELAY THE ONSET OF PRECIPITATION. ADJUSTED POPS ACCORDINGLY...WITH
POPS BELOW 15 PERCENT THROUGH MIDNIGHT THEN INCREASING TO SLIGHT
CHANCE FAR NORTH TO AROUND 50 PERCENT LATE.

TUESDAY AND TUESDAY NIGHT...THE STRONG SHORTWAVE THROUGH WILL SWING
THROUGH THE SOUTHEAST AND OFF THE COAST...AND THE ASSOCIATED SURFACE
LOW WILL BEGIN TO DEEPEN AND TRACK NE. MEANWHILE...AT THE SURFACE AN
INLAND WEDGE OF HIGH PRESSURE WILL EXTEND INTO THE FORECAST AREA
FROM THE N/NE. DEEP LAYER MOISTURE AND STRONG FORCING/FOCUSED ASCENT
WILL SUPPORT OVERRUNNING RAIN FALLING INTO A COOL LOW LEVEL
AIR MASS...JUSTIFYING A PERIOD OF LIKELY TO CATEGORICAL
POPS...HIGHEST TUESDAY AFTERNOON.

THE 12Z NAM SOLUTION WHICH PUSHES DEEPEST MOISTURE/PRECIPITATION
ONLY THROUGH FAR SOUTHERN/COASTAL COUNTIES ACCOMPANIED BY LITTLE/NO
PRECIPITATION INLAND DOES NOT APPEAR REASONABLE AND WAS NOT UTILIZED
FOR THE SUNDAY AFTERNOON FORECAST PACKAGE.

WITH PRECIPITATION FALLING INTO THE SURFACE WEDGE OF HIGH PRESSURE
AND ENHANCING THE COOL/MOIST AIR MASS...LOWERED TEMPERATURES A FEW
DEGREES INTO THE LOWER/MID 50S MOST AREAS AWAY FROM THE IMMEDIATE
COAST TUESDAY...AND SOME LOCATIONS COULD HOLD IN THE 40S AS RAIN
FALLS MUCH OF ELECTION DAY.

TUESDAY NIGHT...THE UPPER TROUGH AXIS WILL BECOME NEGATIVELY TILTED
AS THE SOUTHERN SHORTWAVE BEGINS TO PHASE WITH AN AMPLIFYING
NORTHERN TROUGH...AND THE SURFACE LOW WILL DEEPEN AS IT TRACKS
NORTHEAST JUST OFF THE SOUTHEAST COAST. AS A RESULT...AN ASSOCIATED
COMMA FEATURE/DEEP LAYER MOISTURE WILL WRAP BACK INTO THE FORECAST
AREA...ESPECIALLY INTO N/E COUNTIES. THUS...RAISED POPS TO LIKELY
N/E AND CHANCE ELSEWHERE TUESDAY EVENING...AND HIGHER POPS COULD
EVENTUALLY BE REQUIRED DEPENDING ON THE COVERAGE/PERSISTENCE OF THE
WRAP AROUND MOISTURE. THEN...DEEP MOISTURE SHOULD LIFT NORTH OF THE
REGION OVERNIGHT TUESDAY NIGHT...AND PRECIPITATION WILL WIND DOWN
FROM S/SW TO N/NE.

WEDNESDAY...THE DEEPENING SURFACE LOW WILL PASS CAPE HATTERAS...BUT
THE CYCLONIC CIRCULATION WILL CONTINUE TO PRODUCE COOL AND BREEZY
CONDITIONS ACROSS THE REGION. HIGH TEMPS SHOULD TOP OUT IN THE LOWER
TO MID 60S...BELOW NORMAL FOR EARLY NOVEMBER.

&&

.LONG TERM /WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY/...
MODEL AGREEMENT AND OVERALL FORECAST CONFIDENCE IS GOOD FOR THE LONG
TERM FORECAST PERIOD. DEEP LAYER RIDGING WILL GRADUALLY BUILD ACROSS
THE EASTERN CONUS THROUGH THE UPCOMING WEEKEND. HIGH PRESSURE WILL
BUILD INTO THE REGION BY THURSDAY AND REMAIN THE DOMINANT FEATURE
THROUGH THE END OF THE PERIOD. TEMPS WILL START OFF BELOW NORMAL ON
THURSDAY...GRADUALLY MODERATING TO NEAR NORMAL BY THE WEEKEND.

&&

.AVIATION /00Z MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/...
VFR CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED TO PREVAIL AT KCHS AND KSAV THROUGH
00Z TUESDAY. A COLD FRONT WILL MOVE ACROSS THE TERMINALS LATE THIS
EVENING INTO THE EARLY OVERNIGHT HOURS. ISOLATED/SCATTERED SHOWERS COULD
IMPACT THE TERMINALS ALONG AND AHEAD OF THE FRONT. PROBABILITIES
APPEAR GREATER AT KCHS WHERE A TEMPO GROUP FOR SHOWERS HAS BEEN
ADDED FROM 01Z-03Z. MODEL TIME/HEIGHT CROSS SECTIONS INDICATE SOME
LOW LEVEL MOISTURE REMAINING IN PLACE BEHIND THE FRONT...SO SCATTERED
LOW CLOUDS ARE CERTAINLY POSSIBLE UNTIL MID-MORNING. HOWEVER...CONFIDENCE
THAT ANY SUB-VFR CEILINGS WILL DEVELOP ARE TOO LOW TO INCLUDE IN
THE TAF/S AT THIS TIME.

EXTENDED AVIATION OUTLOOK...VFR CONDITIONS INTO MONDAY EVENING.
THE PROBABILITY FOR FLIGHT RESTRICTIONS WILL INCREASE MONDAY
NIGHT...AND IFR OR LOWER CONDITIONS COULD DEVELOP/PREVAIL IN RAIN
TUESDAY INTO TUESDAY NIGHT. VFR LIKELY WEDNESDAY THROUGH FRIDAY.

&&

.MARINE...
TONIGHT...LOW PRESSURE WILL STEADILY SHIFT INTO THE ATLANTIC OFF
THE CAROLINAS AROUND MIDNIGHT...WITH ITS TRAILING COLD FRONT
CROSSING THE MARINE ZONES AROUND THE 06Z TO 09Z TIME FRAME.
SOUTHWEST TO WEST WINDS UP NEAR 15 KT AHEAD OF THE FRONT WILL
VEER AROUND TO THE NORTHWEST AND NORTH AT SIMILAR OR SLIGHTLY LOWER
SPEEDS BEHIND THE FRONT. SEAS WILL BRIEFLY REACH 4 FT ACROSS THE
FAR NORTHERN SOUTH CAROLINA WATERS AND THE OUTERMOST PORTION OF
OFFSHORE GEORGIA ZONES...OTHERWISE 3 FT OR LESS CAN BE EXPECTED.
SCATTERED SHOWERS AND ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS WILL ACCOMPANY THE
FRONT. A FEW STORMS DURING THE EVENING HOURS COULD BECOME STRONG
OR EVEN SEVERE WITH GUSTY TO DAMAGING WINDS AND FREQUENT LIGHTNING.
REMEMBER TO CHECK NOAA WEATHER RADIO...ALL HAZARDS...FOR UPDATES
THROUGH TONIGHT.

MONDAY...HIGH PRESSURE BUILDING FROM THE NORTH WILL MAINTAIN A
PREVAILING N/NE FLOW MAINLY 10-15 KNOTS...ACCOMPANIED BY SEAS 1-3 FT
WITHIN NEARSHORE WATERS AND 2-4 FT BEYOND 20 NM.

MONDAY NIGHT...BETWEEN HIGH PRESSURE CENTERED NORTH OF THE WATERS
AND LOW PRESSURE DEVELOPING OVER THE NORTHERN GULF COAST...NE WINDS
WILL GRADUALLY INCREASE...PERHAPS REACHING 15-20 KT BY DAYBREAK
TUESDAY. INCREASING WINDS WILL SUPPORT GRADUALLY BUILDING SEAS...AND
SEAS OF 3-5 FT WILL BECOME COMMON BY TUESDAY MORNING.

TUESDAY AND TUESDAY NIGHT...AS THE LOW PRESSURE INTENSIFIES AND
TRACKS NORTHEAST...CONFIDENCE IS HIGH THAT SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY
WINDS AND SEAS WILL DEVELOP OVER ALL COASTAL WATERS. STRENGTHENING
NE WINDS WILL BACK TOWARD THE N THEN NW AS THE SURFACE LOW PASSES
JUST OFFSHORE TUESDAY NIGHT. IF THE LOW DEEPENS MORE QUICKLY THEN
EXPECTED...GALES COULD DEVELOP OVER THE COASTAL WATERS LATE TUESDAY
INTO EARLY WEDNESDAY.

WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON THROUGH FRIDAY...THE LOW PRESSURE WILL MOVE AWAY
FROM THE REGION...AND SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE WILL EXPAND INTO THE
REGION FROM THE NORTH. THIS WILL TRANSLATE TO GRADUALLY SLACKING
WINDS AND SUBSIDING SEAS THROUGH THE PERIOD.
