Special Weather Statement, NWS Charleston, SC

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE CHARLESTON SC
731 PM EDT SUN MAR 31 2013

.SYNOPSIS...
ATLANTIC HIGH PRESSURE WILL PREVAIL THROUGH TONIGHT. A COLD FRONT
WILL MOVE ACROSS THE AREA LATE MONDAY AFTERNOON INTO MONDAY
EVENING...FOLLOWED BY HIGH PRESSURE BUILDING FROM THE NORTH THROUGH
THE MIDDLE OF THE WEEK. A LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM WILL THEN PASS ALONG
THE SOUTHEAST COAST LATE IN THE WEEK INTO EARLY NEXT WEEKEND.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM MONDAY MORNING/...
CONVECTION HAS BECOME SCATTERED TO NUMEROUS IN COVERAGE EARLY THIS
EVENING...MAINLY ACROSS INLAND PORTIONS OF THE FORECAST
AREA. RADAR INDICATES ADDITIONAL CONVECTION UPSTREAM AHEAD OF AN
APPROACHING SHORT WAVE...AND THIS ACTIVITY SHOULD MOVE INTO THE
AREA THROUGH MID-EVENING...AGAIN AFFECTING MAINLY INLAND AREAS.
THE CONVECTION SHOULD THEN BEGIN TO DISSIPATE LATER THIS EVENING
AS THE SHORT WAVE SHIFTS NORTHEAST OF THE AREA. DURING THE
OVERNIGHT WE MAY SEE A FEW HOURS WITH MINIMAL PRECIPITATION UNTIL
A COLD FRONT DROPS SOUTHEAST LATE TONIGHT. WE ARE SHOWING POPS
RAMPING BACK UP AFTER MIDNIGHT WITH SOME LIKELY POPS BY DAYBREAK
MONDAY.

WE MAINTAINED ISOLATED SEVERE TSTMS IN THE HAZARDOUS WEATHER
OUTLOOK ALTHOUGH THE CHANCES MAY BE DWINDLING A BIT GIVEN THE
DEWPOINTS ONLY IN THE LOWER TO MID 50S. THE LOW WET BULB ZERO
VALUES COULD SUPPORT SOME MARGINAL SEVERE HAIL IN A STRONGER STORM
AND THE DRY AIR OFF THE DECK COULD ENHANCE DOWNDRAFT ACCELERATION.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 AM MONDAY MORNING THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
MONDAY...A COLD FRONT WILL BE SITUATED ACROSS THE SOUTH CAROLINA
MIDLANDS AND EAST-CENTRAL GEORGIA TO START THE DAY...WITH AN AXIS OF
DEEP MOISTURE IN PLACE OVER THE AREA AHEAD OF THE FRONT WHERE
PRECIPITABLE WATER VALUES WILL PEAK AROUND 1.3 TO 1.4 INCHES. THE
DEEP MOISTURE COMBINED WITH FORCING FROM THE RIGHT ENTRANCE REGION
OF A WEAKENING H25 JET WILL SUPPORT NUMEROUS SHOWERS ACROSS THE AREA
IN THE MORNING. THE SHOWERS WILL THEN BEGIN TO TAPER OFF FROM THE
WEST DURING THE AFTERNOON AS THE FRONT SHIFTS ACROSS THE AREA AND
OFFSHORE BY LATE IN THE DAY. SOME THUNDERSTORMS ARE POSSIBLE...A FEW
OF WHICH COULD BE STRONG/SEVERE AT TIMES WITH SURFACE BASED CAPE
VALUES OF  800-1000 J/KG AND...LI VALUES OF -3C TO -5C AND MID LEVEL
LAPSE RATES OF 6-7 C/KM. WET BULB ZERO HEIGHTS POSSIBLY REACHING AS
LOW AS 8-9K FT WILL SUPPORT A HAIL THREAT...WITH DAMAGING WINDS ALSO
POSSIBLE. THE GREATEST POTENTIAL FOR ANY STRONG/SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS
APPEARS TO BE ACROSS SOUTHEAST GEORGIA...BUT GIVEN UNCERTAINTY IN
THE EXTENT OF DIURNAL HEATING THAT CAN TAKE PLACE DUE TO EXTENSIVE
CLOUD COVER AND PRECIPITATION...WILL KEEP MENTION OUT OF THE
HAZARDOUS WEATHER OUTLOOK FOR NOW. DESPITE THE EXTENSIVE CLOUD COVER
INITIALLY...A GOOD SOUTHWEST FLOW AND WEAK COMPRESSIONAL HEATING
AHEAD OF THE FRONT FOLLOWED BY A WARM WESTERLY FLOW IN ITS WAKE
SHOULD ALLOW TEMPERATURES TO REACH HIGHS IN THE MID 70S ACROSS THE
AREA AWAY FROM THE COOLER IMMEDIATE COAST.

MONDAY NIGHT...A SECONDARY COLD FRONT WILL SWING THROUGH THE AREA
DURING THE EVENING...WITH A DEVELOPING NORTHWEST/NORTH FLOW
ADVECTING A DRIER AIRMASS INTO THE REGION. ANY LINGERING ISOLATED
SHOWERS EARLY IN THE EVENING WILL QUICKLY COME TO AN END...WITH
MOSTLY CLEAR TO PARTLY CLOUDY SKIES EXPECTED THROUGH THE REMAINDER
OF THE NIGHT. LOW TEMPERATURES WILL BE IN THE UPPER 40S TO LOWER
50S.

TUESDAY AND TUESDAY NIGHT...A WEAK BUBBLE HIGH WILL SETTLE OVER THE
CAROLINAS WITH A NEARLY ZONAL FLOW IN PLACE ALOFT. RAIN-FREE
CONDITIONS AND PARTLY CLOUDY SKIES ARE EXPECTED. A WEAK DOWNSLOPE
FLOW ALOFT SHOULD HELP TEMPERATURES REACHES HIGH ON TUESDAY IN THE
LOWER TO MID 70S ACROSS MUCH OF THE AREA AWAY FROM THE IMMEDIATE
COAST...WITH SOME UPPER 70S EVEN POSSIBLE SOUTH OF THE I-16
CORRIDOR. LOWS TUESDAY NIGHT WILL BE IN THE UPPER 40S TO LOWER 50S
ONCE AGAIN.

WEDNESDAY...IT APPEARS THAT A WEAK BACKDOOR COLD FRONT DROPS THROUGH
THE AREA IN RESPONSE TO A STRONGER WEDGE OF HIGH PRESSURE BUILDING
FROM THE NORTH. THERE IS SOME MODEL DISAGREEMENT WITH RESPECT TO THE
EXTENT OF MOISTURE ACCOMPANYING THE BUILDING WEDGE...WITH THE NAM
MUCH MORE AGGRESSIVE THAN THE OTHER MODELS. WHILE THE CONSENSUS IS
FOR NOT MUCH IN THE WAY OF RAINFALL STILL FEEL THAN AN ISOLATED
SHOWER CANNOT BE RULED OUT AND THE FORECAST INDICATES A SLIGHT
CHANCE OF RAIN AS A RESULT. THE TEMPERATURE FORECAST IS ALSO TRICKY
AND THERE WILL LIKELY BE A LARGE GRADIENT ACROSS THE AREA...BUT FEEL
THE SAFEST BET IS TO FORECAST HIGHS RANGING FROM THE LOWER AND MID
60S IN SOUTHEAST SOUTH CAROLINA TO THE UPPER 60S AND LOWER 70S IN
SOUTHEAST GEORGIA.

&&

.LONG TERM /WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY/...
WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY...WE WILL SEE A TRANSITION TO A MUCH
WETTER PATTERN AS A SFC LOW DEEPENS OVER THE NORTHERN GULF WHILE AN
H5 SHORTWAVE DIGS OVER THE DEEP SOUTH. PRECIP CHANCES WILL INCREASE
IN SOUTHEAST GEORGIA..THEN INTO SOUTHEAST SOUTH CAROLINA AS AN
EASTWARD EXTENDING WARM FRONT DEVELOPS WEDNESDAY NIGHT AND BECOMES
POSITIONED ALONG THE SOUTHEAST COAST THURSDAY. THE AMOUNT OF
RAINFALL ASSOCIATED WITH THIS SYSTEM WILL BE HIGHLY DEPENDENT ON THE
POSITION OF THE WARM FRONT AND THE TRACK OF THE SFC LOW FROM THE
NORTHERN GULF OF MEXICO TO THE SOUTHEAST COAST.

AT THIS TIME...HIGH PRESSURE LOOKS TO MAINTAIN SOME HOLD OVER THE
FORECAST AREA...THUS FORCING A MORE SOUTHERN TRACK OF THE SFC LOW
OVER NORTHERN FLORIDA AND THEN ALONG THE SOUTHEAST COAST. WITH THIS
TRACK IN MIND...HAVE INTRODUCED LIKELY POPS OVER SOUTHEAST GEORGIA
AND CHANCE POPS OVER SOUTHEAST SOUTH CAROLINA WEDNESDAY NIGHT...WITH
LIKELY POPS ACROSS THE AREA THURSDAY AND THURSDAY NIGHT BEFORE THE
SFC LOW RAPIDLY DEEPENS AND SHIFTS TO THE NORTHEAST FRIDAY. SHOULD A
MORE NORTHERN TRACK TAKE PLACE...A CHANCE OF THUNDERSTORMS WILL
LIKELY NEED TO BE INTRODUCED OVER THE AREA. OVERALL TEMPS SHOULD
REMAIN COOL ON THURSDAY WITH HIGH PRESSURE MAINTAINING A HOLD.
OVERALL TEMPS SHOULD RANGE BETWEEN THE UPPER 50S NORTH...TO LOW/MID
60S SOUTH. BY FRIDAY...TEMPS SHOULD MODIFY A FEW DEGREES WITH THE
WARM FRONT ALONG THE COAST. OVERNIGHT LOWS SHOULD REACH THE LOW/MID
40S WEDNESDAY NIGHT AND UPPER 40S TO LOWER 50S THURSDAY AND FRIDAY
NIGHT.

SATURDAY AND SUNDAY...A DRY AND WARMING TREND IS ANTICIPATED FOR THE
SECOND HALF OF THE WEEKEND AS MID LVL RIDGING GRADUALLY EXPANDS INTO
THE SOUTHEAST. WITH LITTLE CLOUD ANTICIPATED...OVERALL TEMPS SHOULD
REACH THE UPPER 60S TO LOWER 70S SATURDAY AND LOWER 70S OVER MOST
LOCATIONS ON SUNDAY.

&&

.AVIATION /00Z MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/...
SCATTERED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ARE EXPECTED AT CHS IN THE
FIRST HOUR AT KCHS. MORE CONVECTION IS UPSTREAM...BUT SHOULD
REMAIN NORTH AND WEST OF KSAV FOR NOW. EXPECT CONDITIONS TO ONCE
AGAIN DETERIORATE AS ADDITIONAL CONVECTION APPROACHES THE
TERMINALS...MAINLY AFTER MIDNIGHT. AT THIS POINT...HAVE PREVAILING
MVFR CONDITIONS STARTING AROUND 08Z AND LINGERING AFTER
SUNRISE...BUT MUCH WILL DEPEND CONVECTION FORMATION.

EXTENDED AVIATION OUTLOOK...MVFR CIGS/VSBYS SHOULD BECOME VFR MONDAY
AFTERNOON AS SHOWERS PUSH OFFSHORE IN WAKE OF A PASSING COLD FRONT.
VFR CONDITIONS SHOULD THEN PREVAIL THROUGH WEDNESDAY. MVFR OR LOWER
CIGS/VSBYS ARE POSSIBLE WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY MORNING DUE
TO RAIN/SHOWERS ASSOCIATED WITH A SFC LOW TRACKING OVER NORTHERN
FLORIDA AND THEN ALONG THE SOUTHEAST COAST.

&&

.MARINE...
WITH TEMPS 70+ AND 30 KT 925 MB WINDS WE HAVE SEEN SOME 25 KT
GUSTS IN THE CHARLESTON HARBOR AT TIMES. THOUGH THE SUSTAINED
WINDS WILL REMAIN CLOSER TO 15 KT THROUGH MID EVENING WE
MAINTAINED THE SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY UNTIL 8 PM DUE TO THE
CONTINUED HIGHER GUSTS. OVER THE COASTAL WATERS DESPITE A
CONSIDERABLE SOUTHWESTERLY LOW-LEVEL JET...THE COOLER WATER
TEMPERATURES ARE NOT LEADING TO VERY GOOD MIXING PROFILES EXCEPT
OVER THE GULF STREAM WHICH IS NOW BEYOND 40 NM FROM THE COAST.
ALTHOUGH IT IS MARGINAL WE MAINTAINED THE SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY FOR
THE OFFSHORE GA WATERS WHICH RUNS BEYOND TONIGHT. SEAS MAY TOUCH 6
FT OVER FAR OUTER PORTIONS AND WINDS MAY OCCASIONALLY GUST TO 25
KT.

MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY...SOUTHWEST FLOW WILL PREVAIL AHEAD OF AN
APPROACHING COLD FRONT MONDAY...WITH A TIGHT SURFACE PRESSURE
GRADIENT SUPPORTING MARGINAL SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY CONDITIONS OVER
PORTIONS OF THE OUTER GEORGIA WATERS DURING THE MORNING. CONDITIONS
WILL IMPROVE FOLLOWING THE PASSAGE OF A COLD FRONT MONDAY EVENING AS
WINDS SHIFT OFFSHORE. BUILDING HIGH PRESSURE WILL ALLOW A NORTHEAST
SURGE TO DEVELOP LATE MONDAY NIGHT INTO TUESDAY...WITH WINDS PEAKING
AROUND 15-20 KT. WEAK HIGH PRESSURE OVER THE CAROLINAS WILL THEN
KEEP CONDITIONS RATHER BENIGN OVER THE WATERS THROUGH TUESDAY NIGHT.
A WEAK BACK DOOR COLD FRONT WILL DROP THROUGH AS STRONGER HIGH
PRESSURE BUILDS FROM THE NORTH ON WEDNESDAY...CAUSING WINDS/SEAS TO
BEGIN DETERIORATING LATE WEDNESDAY AND WEDNESDAY NIGHT. SMALL CRAFT
ADVISORY CONDITIONS ARE THEN LIKELY LATE WEEK AS CONDITIONS
DETERIORATE FURTHER DUE TO AN ENHANCED PRESSURE GRADIENT BETWEEN
HIGH PRESSURE OVER THE WESTERN ATLANTIC AND LOW PRESSURE OVER THE
NORTHERN GULF ON THURSDAY FOLLOWED BY THE PASSAGE OF A COASTAL LOW
ALONG THE SOUTHEAST COAST THURSDAY NIGHT INTO FRIDAY.

&&

.CHS WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
GA...NONE.
SC...NONE.
MARINE...SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY UNTIL 8 PM EDT THIS EVENING FOR AMZ330.
