516 PM EDT FRI APR 19 2013

...SEVERE TSTMS MOVING ACROSS THE REGION...

.SYNOPSIS...
A COLD FRONT WILL APPROACH FROM THE WEST AND WILL MOVE ACROSS THE

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM SATURDAY MORNING/...
A LINE OF SVR TSTMS CONTINUES TO MOVE E ACROSS THE CWFA.
INSTABILITY CONTINUE TO POOL AHEAD OF THE PRIMARY CONVECTIVE LINE
AND THERE WILL BE AN INCRG SVR THREAT ACROSS MUCH OF SOUTHERN SC
OVR THE NEXT 2-3 HRS...INCLUDING THE CHARLESTON METRO AREA. KCLX
HAS BEEN PICKING UP ON A NUMBER OF SVR WIND SIGNATURES AND WITH
ELEVATED DCAPES IN PLACE...DAMAGING WINDS WILL BE THE PRIMARY HAZARD...
ALTHOUGH AN ISOLATED TORNADO CAN NOT BE COMPLETELY RULED OUT.
WILL LIKELY BE ABLE TO CLEAR THE FAR INTERIOR SOUTHWEST ZONE OVER
THE NEXT HOUR AS A COLD FRONT ENTERS AND STABILIZES THE
ATMOSPHERE. FREQUENT UPDATES WILL BE MADE OVR THE NEXT FEW HOURS.

FOR THIS UPDATE...INCREASED POPS TO NEAR 100 PERCENT FOR MOST
AREAS PER GOING RADAR TRENDS.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 AM SATURDAY MORNING THROUGH MONDAY/...
SATURDAY...THE CDFNT WL BE PSND JUST OFF THE COAST BY SUNRISE SAT
WITH ANAFRONTAL RAINS LINGERING ACROSS THE ERN HALF OF THE FCST
AREA. RAINS ARE XPCTD TO SLOWLY END FROM W-E THROUGH THE DAY AS THE
FNT MEANDERS FARTHER OFFSHORE BEFORE STALLING. CLOUDS WL ALSO THIN
FROM THE W...BUT THE COASTAL COUNTIES WL LIKELY NOT SEE MUCH SUN
UNTIL LATE IN THE AFTN. IT WILL BE CONSIDERABLY COOLER WITH STRONG
POST-FRONTAL COLD AIR ADVECTION DRIVING H8 TEMPS DOWN TO +3 TO +6C.
THIS WL TRANSLATE TO HIGHS IN THE UPR 60S/N70 INLAND TO THE LWR-MID
60S AT THE COAST WHERE CLOUDS WILL PERSIST THE LONGEST.

BTWN THE TWO FEATURES WL YIELD BREEZY-WINDY CONDITIONS WITH SPEEDS
PSBLY REACHING WIND ADV THRESHOLDS ACROSS THE COASTAL COUNTIES. IT
WL BE RATHER CLOUDY AND COOL WITH HIGHS IN THE UPR 60S/N70. IT IS
UNCLEAR EXACTLY HOW MUCH SHOWER ACTIVITY WL BE AROUND...BUT ONGOING
ISENTROPIC LIFT COUPLED WITH IMPULSES PASSING THROUGH ALOFT SHOULD
SUPPORT ISOLD TO SCT ACTIVITY AT TIMES. LOWS WL RANGE FROM THE UPR
40S INLAND TO THE MID-UPR 50S AT THE COAST.

30 KNOTS IS POSSIBLE PRIOR TO SUNSET. THEREAFTER...GUSTS WILL
DIMINISH SOMEWHAT...BUT WINDS WILL REMAIN ELEVATED THROUGH THE
OVERNIGHT PERIOD. IN ADDITION...SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS AHEAD OF
THE FRONT WILL LIKELY IMPACT THE TERMINALS ROUGHLY AROUND 21Z/22Z.
ISOLATED CONVECTION COULD DEVELOP PRIOR TO THIS TIME FRAME...BUT
DUE TO LACK OF EXPECTED COVERAGE...WILL EXCLUDE AN MENTION OF TS
PRIOR TO 21Z.

THE FRONT WILL PASS OVER THE AREA SEVERAL HOURS AFTER SUNSET WITH
MODELS SHOWING POST-FRONTAL SHOWERS LINGERING UNTIL POSSIBLY
DAYBREAK. IN ADDITION...WINDS WILL SHIFT WESTERLY AFTER THE
PASSAGE OF THE FRONT...THEN CONTINUE TO VEER MORE NORTHERLY AROUND SUNRISE.

EXTENDED AVIATION OUTLOOK....FLIGHT RESTRICTIONS ARE POSSIBLE INTO

FOLLOWING THE PASSAGE OF THE COLD FRONT AFTER MIDNIGHT. SMALL CRAFT
ADVISORIES ARE IN EFFECT THROUGH MID-EVENING FOR CHARLESTON HARBOR
AND AMZ354 AND THROUGH THE NIGHT FOR ALL OTHER COASTAL WATERS.

SATURDAY...NW WNDS WL GRADLY VEER NE THROUGH THE DAY AS THE CDFNT
SHIFTS FARTHER OFFSHORE AND INLAND HIGH PRES BEGINS TO WEDGE S.
WINDS WILL INCREASE TO 15-20 KT NEARSHORE WATERS AND 20-25 KT
OFFSHORE WATERS. WL LIKELY NEED A SMALL CRAFT ADV FOR AT LEAST THE
GEORGIA OFFSHORE WATERS SAT NGT.

SATURDAY NIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY NIGHT...ESPECIALLY NASTY AND
POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS CONDITIONS WILL DEVELOP OVER THE WATERS DURING
THIS TIME AS THE PRES GRADIENT TIGHTENS BTWN INLAND HIGH PRES AND A
STRONG/SHARP COASTAL TROUGH JUST OFFSHORE. WNDS WILL EASILY REACH
WELL INTO THE 25-30 KT RANGE WITH GUSTS EXCEEDING GALE FORCE OF
35-40 KT. IF TRENDS CONTINUE...A GALE WATCH WILL BE NEEDED FOR MOST
MARINE ZONES IN LATER FORECASTS. LOCAL SWAN MODEL SUGGESTS SEAS WILL
PEAK 7-11 FT NEARSHORE WATERS AND 11-15 FT OFFSHORE WATERS SUN INTO
SUN EVNG.

A MODERATE RISK FOR RIP CURRENTS WILL PERSIST INTO EARLY EVENING.
OFFSHORE WINDS TURNING SLOWLY NORTHEAST WILL LIMIT THE RIP RISK FOR
TOMORROW SO WILL FORECAST A LOW CATEGORY.

THE RIP CURRENT RISK WILL BECOME ENHANCED SUNDAY INTO MONDAY AS
STRONG NORTHEAST WINDS COUPLED WITH BUILDING SEAS IMPACT THE SURF
ZONE.
