AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE CHARLESTON SC
153 PM EDT TUE MAR 26 2013

.SYNOPSIS...
DRY AND UNSEASONABLY COOL HIGH PRESSURE WILL PREVAIL THROUGH THE
WEEK. WARMER WEATHER WILL RETURN FOR EARLY NEXT WEEK AS A COLD
FRONT IMPACTS THE REGION.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 PM THIS EVENING/...
HAVE RAISED A FREEZE WARNING TONIGHT FOR MUCH OF THE
REGION...EXCEPT GENERALLY COASTAL COUNTIES.

REST OF TODAY...CLOUDS HAVE DEVELOPED AS EXPECTED...WHICH IS
LIMITING WIND GUSTS...ESPECIALLY OVER THE SC REGION...AND KEEPING
TEMPS TO ONLY AROUND 50 MOST PLACES. HAVE LOWERED HIGHS A DEG OR
SO TO ACCOUNT FOR CLOUDS AND LATEST TRENDS...BUT STILL IN THE
LOWER 50S...WARMEST OVER THE SOUTH WITH LESS CLOUDS. GIVEN
SLIGHTLY BETTER MIXING DUE TO LESS CLOUDS OVER THE SOUTHERN AND SE
REGION...EXPECT SLIGHTLY HIGHER WIND GUSTS IN THAT AREA THROUGH
REST OF TODAY.

LAKE WINDS...WINDS HAVE BEEN MUCH LIGHTER THAN EXPECTED DUE TO
CLOUD COVER AND POOR MIXING. THUS...HAVE CANCELED THE WIND
ADVISORY FOR TODAY. COULD STILL SEE WINDS OF 15 TO 20 KT...MAINLY
CLOSER TO THE LAKE SHORE THIS AFTERNOON.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 PM THIS EVENING THROUGH FRIDAY/...
STILL CONCERNED ABOUT FREEZING TEMPERATURES ACROSS MUCH OF THE
AREA TONIGHT. THUS...FREEZE WATCH STILL IN PLACE FOR TONIGHT.

TONIGHT...THE SURFACE HIGH POSITIONED OVER THE LOWER MS VALLEY WILL
SHIFT A BIT FURTHER EASTWARD. AS IT DOES...THE GRADIENT WILL
CONTINUE TO RELAX RESULTING IN LESS LOW LEVEL FLOW OVERNIGHT. 850 MB
TEMPS WILL FALL TO AROUND -6C AND WITH AREAS AWAY FROM THE COAST
LIKELY DECOUPLING...BETTER RADIATIONAL COOLING CONDITIONS WILL
EXIST. GUIDANCE CONTINUES TO SUPPORT AT OR JUST BELOW FREEZING TEMPS
FOR MUCH OF THE FORECAST AREA...AND WITH BETTER CONDITIONS IN
PLACE...CONFIDENCE IS HIGH ENOUGH TO HOIST A FREEZE WATCH FOR ALL
COUNTIES EXCEPT FOR THE IMMEDIATE COAST.

THERE IS LITTLE OVERALL CHANGE TO THE PATTERN ALOFT THROUGH
FRIDAY...WITH A BROAD LOW AMPLITUDE TROUGH COVERING THE EASTERN
STATES AND THE WESTERN ATLANTIC...WITH RIDGING IN THE WESTERN PART
OF THE NATION. THE RESULTING NW FLOW WILL MAINTAIN A COOL/CHILLY AIR
MASS IN PLACE ACROSS THE FORECAST AREA...WITH TEMPS TO CONTINUE AT
LEVELS FAR BELOW LATE MARCH NORMS. DAY AND COOL CONTINENTAL SURFACE
HIGH PRESSURE STRETCHING FROM NORTHERN CANADA THROUGH THE UPPER
MIDWEST OF THE CONUS TO THE GULF OF MEXICO ON WEDNESDAY...WILL SHIFT
SLOWLY EAST THURSDAY AND SITUATE ITSELF OVERHEAD ON FRIDAY. DESPITE
PLENTIFUL INSOLATION EACH DAY...LOW LEVEL THICKNESS FORECAST
SUPPORTS TEMPS NO HIGHER THAN MAYBE 60 ON WEDNESDAY...59-63 THURSDAY
AND THE LOWER AND MIDDLE 60S ON FRIDAY.

THE BIGGEST FORECAST CHALLENGE WILL BE IN REGARDS TO NIGHT TIME
MINIMUMS AND THE POTENTIAL FOR FROST AND/OR FREEZING CONDITIONS.
GIVEN THAT THE SURFACE HIGH IS STILL WEST OF THE APPALACHIANS
WEDNESDAY NIGHT...GEOSTROPHIC WINDS DROP NO LOWER THAN 10 OR 15 KT.
THUS THE RISK FOR FROST APPEARS SMALL...BUT AN ADVECTIVE FREEZE IS
CERTAINLY POSSIBLE FAR INLAND. THERE IS A GREATER CHANCE OF WINDS
DECOUPLING THURSDAY NIGHT...SO WITH BETTER RADIATIONAL COOLING THERE
MAY BE A HIGHER PROBABILITY OF FROST AND/OR A FREEZE. FOR FRIDAY
NIGHT IT WILL BE A BATTLE BETWEEN STRONG RADIATIONAL COOLING WITH
THE HIGH ATOP THE AREA...BUT AT THE SAME TIME INCREASING HIGH LEVEL
CLOUDS FROM THE WEST AND NW.

&&

.LONG TERM /FRIDAY NIGHT THROUGH MONDAY/...
THE LARGE SCALE MID AND UPPER PATTERN WILL ESSENTIALLY BE UNCHANGED
FOR LATE IN THE WEEK...WITH A NW CYCLONIC FLOW OVER THE EASTERN
UNITED STATES AND RIDGING IN THE SW. HOWEVER...SOME AMPLIFICATION
WILL TRANSPIRE EARLY NEXT WEEK AS A CYCLONE ALOFT DIGS OVER THE
WESTERN PART OF THE COUNTRY AND A SECOND AND STRONGER CYCLONE ALOFT
DROPS MOVES THROUGH THE GREAT LAKES. THE FLOW LOCALLY WILL STILL BE
NW INTO SATURDAY...BUT THEN BECOMES MORE ZONAL SUNDAY AND MONDAY. AT
THE SAME TIME AT THE SURFACE...HIGH PRESSURE ACROSS SOUTHERN SC AND
SE GA WILL MOVE INTO THE ATLANTIC SATURDAY. A NORTHERN STREAM SHORT
WAVE TROUGH WILL TRIGGER THE FORMATION OF LOW PRESSURE IN THE
MIDWEST AND OHIO VALLEY SUNDAY THAT LIFTS NE INTO SE CANADA ON
MONDAY. A COLD FRONT TRAILING FROM THIS FEATURE WILL APPROACH LATE
SUNDAY/SUNDAY NIGHT...THEN MOVES THROUGH ON MONDAY. WE/RE NOT
CONVINCED YET ON THE AMOUNT OF MOISTURE RETURN WITH THE WESTERLY
FLOW ALOFT...SO WE PREFER NO TO GO ANYTHING MORE THAN SLIGHT CHANCE
POPS AT THIS STAGE. WARMER CONDITIONS WILL FINALLY MAKE A RETURN AS
MARCH CHANGES INTO APRIL...MAKING IT FEEL MUCH MORE LIKE THE
CALENDAR INDICATES.

&&

.AVIATION /18Z TUESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/...
VFR THROUGH 12Z WEDNESDAY. WINDS HAVE NOT BEEN AS STRONG AS
EXPECTED THIS AFTERNOON FOR KCHS...LIKELY DUE TO SCT-BKN CLOUD
COVER. HAVE LOWERED GUST VALUES FOR THIS AFTERNOON.
HOWEVER...LESS CLOUDS AND DEEPER MIXING OVER KSAV HAS ALLOWED FOR
WIND GUSTS OF 25-30 KTS. HOWEVER...THINK CLOUDS WILL THICKER OVER
KSAV TOO...WHICH SHOULD LOWER GUST VALUES CLOSER TO 25 KTS THIS
AFTERNOON. WINDS WILL DROP DOWN TO 10 KTS OR LESS TONIGHT AS THE
INVERSION DEVELOPS. CIGS THIS AFTERNOON WILL BE VFR...WITH
CLEARING SKIES TONIGHT.

EXTENDED AVIATION OUTLOOK...VFR.

&&

.MARINE...
REST OF TODAY...WINDS HAVE NOT BEEN AS STRONG AROUND CHS HARBOR
TODAY...LIKELY DUE TO COOLER TEMPS AND CLOUD COVER. HAVE DROPPED
SCA FOR THE HARBOR AND EXPECT WINDS OF 15 TO 20 KTS REST OF TODAY.
OTHERWISE...MARGINAL SCA CONDITIONS CONTINUE ACROSS THE REST OF
THE MARINE AREA FOR TODAY AND INTO THIS EVENING. WILL LIKELY BE
DROPPING SCA FOR AT LEAST THE NEAR SHORE WATERS LATER TONIGHT/EARLY
THIS EVENING AS GRADIENT GRADUALLY WEAKENS.

WEDNESDAY THROUGH FRIDAY...THE COASTAL WATERS WILL LIE UNDER THE
EASTERN SIDE OF CONTINENTAL HIGH PRESSURE THROUGH EARLY
FRIDAY...BEFORE THE HIGH SHIFTS ABOVE THE LOCAL MARINE AREA FRIDAY.
MARINERS CAN EXPECT SMALL SURGES IN WIND DURING THE LATE NIGHT AND
EARLY MORNING HOURS THROUGH THE PERIOD...BUT EVEN SO...CONDITIONS DO
REMAIN BELOW ANY SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY CRITERIA.

SATURDAY THROUGH SUNDAY...AN ANTICYCLONE ACROSS THE WATERS THE START
OF THE WEEKEND WILL SHIFT EAST THEREAFTER IN ADVANCE OF A COLD FRONT
THAT WILL MOVE INTO THE SE STATES LATE SUNDAY. QUIET CONDITIONS ON
SATURDAY WILL GIVE WAY TO A TIGHTENING OF THE PRESSURE GRADIENT
BETWEEN THE ATLANTIC RIDGE AND UPSTREAM COLD FRONT FOR SUNDAY...AND
WE MIGHT BE CLOSE TO REQUIRING SMALL CRAFT ADVISORIES ON SUNDAY.

&&

.CLIMATE...
RECORD LOW TEMPS...
