AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE CHARLESTON SC
1103 AM EDT SUN MAR 24 2013

.SYNOPSIS...
A WARM FRONT WILL LINGER ACROSS THE SOUTHERN ZONES THROUGH LATE
MORNING. LOW PRESSURE WILL DEVELOP ALONG THE FRONT AND DEEPEN AS
IT LIFTS NORTHEAST OFF THE SOUTH CAROLINA COAST THIS AFTERNOON. A
TRAILING COLD FRONT WILL THEN MOVE THROUGH TONIGHT...BRINGING STRONG
WINDS AND A COLDER AIR MASS. DEEP LOW PRESSURE WILL MOVE AWAY FROM
THE EAST COAST...WITH COOL HIGH PRESSURE TO BUILD FROM THE WEST
AND NW THROUGH THE WEEK.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 PM THIS EVENING/...
LATEST MESOANALYSIS INDICATES A WARM FRONT CURRENTLY STRETCHES
FROM CENTRAL GEORGIA...THROUGH THE SAVANNAH AREA...AND OFF THE
SOUTHERN SOUTH CAROLINA COASTLINE BY MID MORNING. A COMPLEX
SURFACE PRESSURE PATTERN WILL DICTATE MUCH OF THE SENSIBLE WEATHER
THROUGH THE AFTERNOON HOURS...ESPECIALLY AS WAVES OF LOW PRESSURE
DEVELOP ALONG THE LINGERING FRONT. THE MAIN QUESTION WILL BE THE
EXTENT OF NORTHWARD PROGRESSION OF THE WARM FRONT DURING THE NEXT
SEVERAL HOURS...BEFORE THE MAIN SURFACE LOW CURRENTLY OVER THE
GULF COAST STATES RAPIDLY SHIFTS OFF THE CAROLINA COASTLINE AHEAD
OF DOWNSTREAM SHORTWAVE ENERGY. NOTABLY COOLER AIR TO THE NORTH OF
THE FRONT...ENHANCED BY THE EFFECTS OF HEAVY RAINFALL...COULD
PREVENT THE WARM FRONT FROM SHIFTING ANY FARTHER NORTH THAN WHERE
IT IS CURRENTLY LOCATED. WITH THE BACK EDGE OF DEEP MOISTURE
ALREADY SHIFTING TOWARD INTERSTATE 95 1030 AM EDT...THE POTENTIAL
FOR SEVERE WEATHER AND EXCESSIVE RAINFALL CONTINUES TO DIMINISH
DUE TO THE RAPID PROGRESSION OF SHOWERS/THUNDERSTORMS TOWARD THE
COASTLINE. HEAVY RAINFALL AND FLASH FLOODING WILL STILL BE A
CONCERN FOR ANOTHER FEW HOURS...BEFORE DRYING OCCURS BEHIND THE
MAIN MOISTURE SWATH.

WILL NEED TO MONITOR FOR THE REDEVELOPMENT OF SHOWER/THUNDERSTORM
ACTIVITY BETWEEN 18Z AND 21Z THIS AFTERNOON...AS THE STRONGEST
SHORTWAVE DOWNSTREAM OF THE MAIN UPPER LOW FAR TO THE NORTHWEST
COULD SPAWN SOME ISOLATED CONVECTION. 12Z NAM AND WRF SOLUTIONS
HINT AT THIS POTENTIAL...YET PLACE ANY LINGERING ACTIVITY WITHIN
THE COLDER AND MORE STABLE AIR NORTH OF THE WARM FRONT.

TEMPERATURE TRENDS WILL BE EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO FOLLOW THROUGH
THE NEXT SEVERAL HOURS...GIVEN UNCERTAINTY IN THE PROGRESSION OF
THE WARM FRONT AND LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM...AS WELL AS THE EXTENT OF
RAIN-INDUCED COOLING AND ANY RECOVERY ONCE ACTIVITY PUSHES
OFFSHORE. TEMPERATURES ARE CURRENTLY RUNNING SEVERAL DEGREES
COOLER THAN CURRENTLY FORECAST...AND WILL NEED TO UPDATE FOR THESE
TRENDS AND REASSESS HIGH TEMPERATURES FOR THIS AFTERNOON. HAVE
INHERITED A SIGNIFICANT TEMPERATURE GRADIENT FROM NORTH TO
SOUTH...WITH HIGHS PEAKING ONLY IN THE LOWER 60S FAR NORTHERN
SECTIONS WHILE RISING INTO THE UPPER 70S FARTHER SOUTH NEAR THE
ALTAMAHA RIVER. MAY NEED TO CONSIDER DECREASING SOUTHERN
TEMPERATURES PER LATEST OBSERVATIONS THIS MORNING. DEPENDING ON
THE EXTENT OF WARMING...AND EVEN POSSIBLE SCATTERING OF SKY
COVER...BREEZY CONDITIONS COULD DEVELOP SOUTH OF THE WARM
FRONT...WITH MIXING HEIGHTS TAPPING INTO 30 KT FLOW WITHIN THE
BOUNDARY LAYER.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 PM THIS EVENING THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
TONIGHT...THE CYCLONIC SYSTEM ALOFT WILL DEEPEN AS IT MOVES
THROUGH THE OH/TN VALLEYS. THIS GENERATE DECENT HEIGHT FALLS
LOCALLY...SO UNTIL THE COLD FRONT MOVES THROUGH THERE IS STILL A
SMALL RISK OF SHOWERS EARLY ON...MAINLY NORTH AND NW. THE ATLANTIC
LOW WILL CONTINUE TO INTENSIFY AS IT MOVES NE UP THE COAST...WITH
ITS TRAILING COLD FRONT TO SWEEP QUICKLY THROUGH DURING THE FIRST
PART OF THE NIGHT. THIS WILL ALLOW FOR RAPID CLEARING ND USHER IN
A MUCH COLDER AIR MASS. ISALLOBARIC PRESSURE RISES OF 1-2 MB EVERY
3 HOURS AFTER THE FROPA SUGGEST THAT IT WILL BECOME BREEZY IF NOT
WINDY AT TIMES. PROBABLY NOT ENOUGH FOR A WIND ADVISORY...BUT
30-40 KNOTS WITHIN THE PLANETARY BOUNDARY LAYER WE MIGHT BE CLOSE.

LAKE WINDS...COLD ADVECTION AND THE STEADY PRESSURE RISES AFTER
THE COLD FRONT MOVES THROUGH WILL GENERATE AN INCREASE IN WINDS TO
LAKE WIND ADVISORY CRITERIA BEGINNING AT 3 AM MONDAY.

MONDAY AND MONDAY NIGHT...THE FORECAST AREA WILL FIND ITSELF JUST
SOUTH OF A VERY DEEP AND POTENT UPPER LOW MOVING ACROSS THE CENTRAL
APPALACHIANS AND OFF THE MID ATLANTIC COAST ON MONDAY. THE SURFACE
LOW ASSOCIATED WITH IT WILL BE UNDERGOING AN IMPRESSIVE DEEPENING
TREND AS IT MOVES OVER THE ATLANTIC...SETTING UP A VERY TIGHT
WESTERLY PRESSURE GRADIENT OVER THE FORECAST AREA. THIS TIGHTENING
GRADIENT COMBINED WITH A STRONG LOW LEVEL JET AND DIURNAL MIXING
WILL RESULT IN A WINDY DAY. FREQUENT GUSTS TO 40 MPH ARE EXPECTED
FOR MUCH OF THE AREA AND A WIND ADVISORY WILL LIKELY BE NEEDED FOR
SOME OR ALL OF THE FORECAST AREA. THE OTHER STORY CONCERNS THE
CLIMATOLOGICALLY COOL TEMPERATURES. EXPECT HIGHS TO NOT GET OUT OF
THE UPPER 50S IN MOST AREAS EXCEPT FOR FAR SE GA NEAR THE ALTAMAHA.
THESE TYPES OF TEMPS ARE BETWEEN 10-15 DEGREES BELOW NORMAL FOR LATE
MARCH. OVERNIGHT...WINDS WILL REMAIN ELEVATED AND BREEZY. LOWS WILL
FALL INTO THE LOW TO MID 30S WITH SOME INLAND AREAS FALLING TO NEAR
FREEZING. GIVEN THE AMOUNT OF WIND EXPECTED...FROST LIKELY WILL NOT
BE AN ISSUE BUT AN ADVECTIVE FREEZE IS POSSIBLE IN THESE LOCATIONS.
A FREEZE WATCH MAY EVENTUALLY BE NEEDED.

TUESDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY...THE OVERALL SETUP WILL NOT CHANGE MUCH
AS HIGH PRESSURE OVER THE CENTRAL CONUS CONTINUES TO SLOWLY BUILD
IN. TUESDAY WILL BE ANOTHER BREEZY DAY...ALBEIT LESS THAN
MONDAY...WITH WESTERLY GUSTS INTO THE 30-35 MPH RANGE POSSIBLE. A
SHARP UPPER TROUGH AND VIGOROUS CHANNELED VORT MAX WILL MOVE THROUGH
IN THE AFTERNOON. SOME MODELS ARE TRYING TO GENERATE VERY LIGHT
PRECIP ASSOCIATED WITH THIS UPPER FEATURE...BUT GIVEN THE DEGREE OF
DRY AIR...IT WILL LIKELY MANIFEST ITSELF AS AN INCREASE IN CLOUDS
TUESDAY AFTERNOON. WEDNESDAY WILL BE LESS BREEZY AS THE HIGH MOVES
CLOSER AND THE GRADIENT RELAXES. TEMPS WILL REMAIN QUITE CHILLY
THOUGH WITH HIGHS PRIMARILY IN THE UPPER 50S...STILL ABOUT 15
DEGREES BELOW CLIMO. POTENTIAL EXISTS FOR SOME FROST/FREEZE ISSUES
TUESDAY NIGHT AS WELL.

&&

.LONG TERM /WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY/...
THE AREA WILL REMAIN UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF DEEP NW FLOW ALOFT
ASSOCIATED WITH THE COOL UPPER LEVEL TROUGH NEAR THE NORTHEAST US.
HIGH PRESSURE WILL BE IN CONTROL ACROSS THE REGION INTO THE WEEKEND.
AS THE TROUGH WEAKENS ALOFT AND THE LOW LEVEL FLOW FINALLY TURNS
MORE SOUTHERLY...TEMPS WILL START TO MODERATE BY THE WEEKEND CLOSER
TO NORMAL. THE FORECAST IS DRY FOR THE BULK OF THE FORECAST
PERIOD...WITH A COLD FRONT POTENTIALLY APPROACHING FROM THE
NORTHWEST LATE IN THE WEEKEND.

&&

.AVIATION /14Z SUNDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/...
WIDESPREAD SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS CONTINUE TO RAPIDLY SHIFT
TOWARD THE COASTLINE BY MID MORNING. CONVECTION COULD CONTINUE TO
IMPACT BOTH TERMINALS THROUGH ABOUT NOON. WINDS WILL BECOME GUSTY
AT BOTH SITES THIS AFTERNOON IN WAKE OF THE SQUALL LINE...AS
MIXING HEIGHTS TAP INTO STRONGER WINDS WITHIN THE BOUNDARY LAYER.
THERE REMAINS SOME SIGNIFICANT UNCERTAINTY AS TO HOW CEILINGS WILL
RESPOND TO THE DIMINISHING SHOWER COVERAGE...AND EXPECT AMENDMENTS
WILL BE NEEDED TO ACCOUNT FOR TRENDS DURING THE NEXT SEVERAL HOURS.
THERE IS A SMALL POTENTIAL FOR THE REDEVELOPMENT OF SOME SHOWERS
LATER TODAY/THIS EVENING UNTIL THE COLD FRONT AND ASSOCIATED UPPER
LEVEL ENERGY CLEARS THE AIRFIELDS. GUSTY WINDS AND GRADUAL
IMPROVEMENT TO VFR WEATHER WILL EVENTUALLY PREVAIL.

EXTENDED AVIATION OUTLOOK...VFR. GUSTY W/NW WINDS MONDAY THROUGH
TUESDAY.

&&

.MARINE...
TODAY...A COMPLEX SURFACE PATTERN WILL ADD SOME UNCERTAINTY TO
DETAILS IN WINDS AND SEAS DURING THE NEXT SEVERAL HOURS. A WARM
FRONT CURRENTLY STRETCHING FROM THE GEORGIA COASTLINE NORTHEAST
INTO THE MARINE ZONES WILL LINGER INTO THE EARLY AFTERNOON...BEFORE
A WAVE OF LOW PRESSURE FORMS ALONG THE FRONT AND MOVES DIRECTLY
OVER THE WATERS AND OFF THE CAROLINA COASTLINE. WILL MAINTAIN
SMALL CRAFT ADVISORIES FOR ALL WATERS DUE TO ENHANCEMENTS IN THE
PRESSURE GRADIENT...INITIALIZING THE ADVISORY FOR THE SOUTH
CAROLINA WATERS NORTH OF EDISTO TO THE CURRENT TIME. THE ONLY
EXCEPTION IS THE CHARLESTON HARBOR...WHERE WINDS ARE EXPECTED TO
REMAIN JUST BELOW CRITERIA. MARINERS ARE ADVISED THAT SCATTERED
THUNDERSTORMS WILL OCCUR TODAY...A FEW OF WHICH WILL BECOME STRONG
OR SEVERE WITH FREQUENT LIGHTNING...WIND GUSTS UP TO 35 OR 40
KT...AND POSSIBLY EVEN ISOLATED WATERSPOUTS.

TONIGHT...THE PRESSURE PATTERN BECOMES MUCH MORE RELAXED THIS
EVENING...BUT THIS IS ONLY TEMPORARY WAITING FOR THE PASSAGE OF A
STRONG COLD FRONT THE SECOND PART OF THE NIGHT. STRONG COLD
ADVECTION WILL MIX PLENTY OF THE 40-45 KT GEOSTROPHIC WINDS...AND
THAT ALONG WITH STEADY ISALLOBARIC PRESSURE RISES WILL RESULT IN
GALE FORCE CONDITIONS DEVELOPING. WE HAVE RAISED A GALE WARNING
FOR ALL ATLANTIC WATERS...WITH A GALE WATCH IN CHARLESTON HARBOR.

MONDAY THROUGH THURSDAY...DEEPENING LOW PRESSURE WILL PULL AWAY FROM
THE EAST COAST ON MONDAY. AS IT DOES...A TIGHT PRESSURE GRADIENT AND
STRONG LOW LEVEL JET COMBINED WITH COLD ADVECTION WILL RESULT IN AN
ONGOING GALE EVENT MONDAY MORNING. MODEL SOUNDINGS SHOW FREQUENT
GALES CONTINUING TO OCCUR ACROSS ALL WATERS OUTSIDE OF THE
CHARLESTON HARBOR WHERE IT WILL BE CLOSE TO GALE WARNING CONDITIONS.
GALES WILL PERSIST THROUGH THE DAY AND INTO THE EVENING HOURS.
THEREAFTER...SOLID SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY CONDITIONS WILL LINGER
THROUGH TUESDAY NIGHT. THE GRADIENT WILL FINALLY RELAX BY MID WEEK
AS THE SURFACE HIGH MOVES INTO THE REGION.
