AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE CHARLESTON SC
123 AM EDT TUE MAR 25 2014

.SYNOPSIS...
HIGH PRESSURE WILL EXTEND ACROSS THE REGION OVERNIGHT AS LOW
PRESSURE DEVELOPS OFF THE SOUTHEAST COAST. THE LOW WILL
STRENGTHEN AND TRACK NORTHEAST OFF THE COAST TUESDAY...FOLLOWED
BY COLD AND DRY HIGH PRESSURE THROUGH THURSDAY. EXPECT A WARMING
TREND AS THE HIGH PRESSURE SHIFTS INTO THE ATLANTIC LATE IN THE
WEEK. A COLD FRONT SHOULD THEN PUSH THROUGH SATURDAY...WITH HIGH
PRESSURE RETURNING EARLY NEXT WEEK.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM THIS MORNING/...
RAIN IS EXPANDING ALONG THE COAST AS EXPECTED. THIS TREND WILL
CONTINUE THROUGH SUNRISE WITH THE HEAVIEST RAINFALL SHIFTING INTO
THE CHARLESTON TRI-COUNTY AREA. ADJUSTED POPS SLIGHTLY...MAINLY TO
EXPAND CATEGORICAL POPS SLIGHTLY.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 AM THIS MORNING THROUGH THURSDAY/...
TUESDAY...A DEEPENING COASTAL LOW WILL CONTINUE TO SHIFT ALONG
SOUTHEAST COAST EARLY...BEFORE PULLING NORTHEAST AND AWAY FROM THE
AREA DURING THE AFTERNOON. THE PATTERN WILL LIKELY RESULT IN DRYING
CONDITIONS FROM SOUTHWEST TO NORTHEAST OVER THE COURSE OF THE DAY
AS HIGH PRESSURE BEGINS TO EXPAND OVER THE REGION. A STRONG NORTHWEST
WIND IS EXPECTED TO DEVELOP BETWEEN THE DEEPENING COASTAL LOW AS
IT TRACKS NORTHEAST AND HIGH PRESSURE AS IT BUILDS IN FROM THE
WEST. GUSTY WINDS ARE THEREFORE EXPECTED TUESDAY AFTERNOON AS SFC
TEMPS APPROACH THE LOW/MID 60S AND TAP INTO A 30-40 KT LOW LVL
JET. NORTHWEST FLOW WILL PERSIST THROUGH TUESDAY NIGHT...ADVECTING
MUCH COLDER AIR TO THE SOUTHEAST. LATEST GUIDANCE SUGGESTS LOW
TEMPS NEAR 32 DEGREES OVER INLAND COUNTIES AFTER MIDNIGHT. A
FREEZE WATCH IS THEREFORE IN EFFECT FOR OUR INLAND TIER OF
COUNTIES TUESDAY NIGHT INTO EARLY WEDNESDAY MORNING...WITH BEST
CHANCES OF FREEZING TEMPS ALONG AND WEST OF INTERSTATE 95 AND
NORTH OF INTERSTATE 16. AREAS CLOSER TO THE COAST SHOULD SEE TEMPS
IN THE MID/UPPER 30S.

WEDNESDAY...DRY AND COOLER CONDITIONS WILL PERSIST AS HIGH PRESSURE
BECOMES CENTERED OVER THE MID ATLANTIC STATES. OVERALL HIGH TEMPS
WILL STRUGGLE TO REACH THE MID/UPPER 50S OVER MOST AREAS...WARMEST
IN SOUTHEAST GEORGIA. TEMPS WILL ALSO BE COLDER AGAIN WEDNESDAY
NIGHT WITH STRONG RADIATIONAL COOLING IN PLACE. AT THIS TIME...HIGH
PRESSURE SHOULD BEGIN TO SLIDE OFFSHORE WEDNESDAY NIGHT...RESULTING
IN A LIGHT ONSHORE FLOW AND WARMER THAN FREEZING TEMPS OVER MOST
AREAS. THERE IS STILL HOWEVER A LOW CHANCE WE COULD SEE TEMPS REACH
FREEZING OVER INLAND COUNTIES IN SOUTH CAROLINA AND GEORGIA NORTH OF
INTERSTATE 16...BUT CURRENT THINKING IS THAT TEMPS SHOULD REMAIN
SLIGHTLY ABOVE FREEZING WITH SOME FROST. TEMPS SHOULD REMAIN IN THE
UPPER 30S TO LOWER 40S CLOSER TO THE COAST.

THURSDAY...HIGH PRESSURE WILL SLIDE FURTHER OFFSHORE...RESULTING IN
A WARMER SOUTHERLY FLOW OVER THE SOUTHEASTERN UNITED STATES. DESPITE
ONSHORE FLOW...EXPECT CONDITIONS TO REMAIN DRY OVER MOST AREAS. A
FEW MODELS SUGGEST A WEAK COASTAL TROUGH DEVELOPING ALONG THE
WESTERN EDGE OF ATLANTIC HIGH PRESSURE THURSDAY AFTERNOON...BUT
CONFIDENCE REMAINS TOO LOW TO INCLUDE MENTION OF SHOWERS ON THE
COAST AT THIS TIME. LATEST 1000-850MB THICKNESSES SUPPORT OVERALL
HIGH TEMPS IN THE MID/UPPER 60S UNDER INCREASING CLOUD COVER FROM
THE SOUTH THURSDAY AFTERNOON.

LAKE WINDS...A LAKE WIND ADVISORY WILL LIKELY BE NEEDED LATE TUESDAY
INTO TUESDAY NIGHT AS A 30 TO 40 KT LOW LEVEL JET AT LEAST PARTIALLY
MIXES ACROSS LAKE MOULTRIE.

&&

.LONG TERM /THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH MONDAY/...
ATLANTIC HIGH PRESSURE WILL CONTINUE TO RETREAT FARTHER OUT TO
SEA LATE THURSDAY INTO FRIDAY...AS NORTHERN STREAM ENERGY SPINS UP
A STRONG LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM LIFTING NORTH THROUGH THE GREAT LAKES
REGION. THE SOUTHEAST STATES WILL SEE DEEP MOISTURE INCREASE AHEAD
OF THE TRAILING COLD FRONT VIA SOUTHERN STREAM ENERGY TRACKING UP
FROM THE GULF OF MEXICO. THE PATTERN BECOMES A BIT MUDDLED FRIDAY
INTO SATURDAY...AS WAVES OF LOW PRESSURE POSSIBLY DEVELOP ALONG
THE TRAILING COLD FRONT ATTEMPTING TO MOVE INTO THE REGION FROM
THE WEST. STILL PREFER TO REMAIN RATHER GENERIC REGARDING RAIN
CHANCES LATE WEEK INTO THE WEEKEND DUE TO CONTINUED DISCREPANCIES
IN MODEL DETAILS...YET WILL ADVERTISE SOLID 30 TO 40 PERCENT POPS
FRIDAY INTO THE DAYTIME HOURS ON SATURDAY. MEDIUM RANGE MODELS DO
AGREE THAT THE FRONT WILL LIKELY BE OFFSHORE SATURDAY NIGHT...WITH
DRY HIGH PRESSURE DEVELOPING ACROSS THE REGION EARLY NEXT WEEK.
THERE IS EVIDENCE OF AT LEAST MARGINAL INSTABILITY FRIDAY AND
SATURDAY AFTERNOON...AND HAVE THUS INCLUDED A SLIGHT CHANCE OF
THUNDER DURING THOSE TIME FRAMES.

THE WARMING TREND WILL CONTINUE THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY...
WITH HIGH TEMPERATURES IN THE LOW TO MID 70S AND NIGHTTIME LOWS IN
THE 50S. HAVE THEN INDICATED A SLIGHT COOL-DOWN SUNDAY AND MONDAY
BEHIND THE COLD FRONT...AS HIGH TEMPERATURES RETURN TO MORE
SEASONAL NORMALS.

&&

.AVIATION /05Z TUESDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/...
RAIN IS STEADILY EXPANDING WITHIN THE COASTAL CORRIDOR EARLY THIS
MORNING. HIGH RESOLUTION GUIDANCE SUPPORTS THE HEAVIEST RAINS
SHIFTING TO THE MIDDLE SOUTH CAROLINA COAST THROUGH
SUNRISE...WHICH INCLUDES KCHS. WILL SHOW LOW-END MVFR CONDITIONS
THERE IN LIGHT RAIN BETWEEN 08-12Z...BUT THERE MAY BE BRIEF
POCKETS OF HIGH-END IFR AS CONVECTIVE RAIN ELEMENTS PUSH THROUGH.
AT KSAV...SUSPECT THE BULK OF THE RAIN WILL REMAIN JUST EAST AND
NORTHEAST OF THE TERMINAL...BUT THERE WILL BE AN INCREASED RISK
FOR LOWER CIGS. WILL SHOW PREVAILING MID-RANGE MVFR CIGS WITH JUST
-RA OR VCSH TO COVER THROUGH SUNRISE. CONDITIONS WILL IMPROVE AT
BOTH TERMINALS AS THE MORNING PROGRESSES. GUSTY WEST/NORTHWEST
WINDS WILL AFFECT THE TERMINALS THIS AFTERNOON AS LOW PRESSURE
DEVELOPS OFF THE COAST AND STRONG COLD AIR ADVECTION INITIATES IN
ITS WAKE.

EXTENDED AVIATION OUTLOOK...GUSTY NW WINDS EXPECTED AT BOTH
TERMINALS TUESDAY NIGHT. OTHERWISE...EXPECT MOSTLY VFR CONDITIONS
THROUGH FRIDAY. THERE IS A LOW CHANCE OF CIG/VSBY RESTRICTIONS
FRIDAY AFTERNOON WITH SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS.

&&

.MARINE...
BETWEEN HIGH PRESSURE CENTERED NORTH OF THE REGION AND DEVELOPING
LOW PRESSURE TO THE SOUTH...A TIGHT PRESSURE GRADIENT WILL
MAINTAIN ELEVATED WINDS/SEAS ACROSS COASTAL WATERS TONIGHT.

PER MONDAY EVENING WIND/SEA TRENDS...EXTENDED THE ONGOING SMALL
CRAFT ADVISORY FOR AMZ354 FOR EXPECTED 6 FT SEAS AND NE GUSTS TO
25 KT UNTIL 5 AM TUESDAY. MEANWHILE...CONTINUED TO SMALL CRAFT
ADVISORY FOR AMZ374 UNTIL LATER TUESDAY DUE TO PERSISTENT GUSTS
25-30 KT AND SEAS 6-8 FT. ACROSS SC WATERS...E/NE WINDS 15-20 KT
AND SEAS AS HIGH AS 4-5 FT WILL CONTINUE TONIGHT.

TUESDAY AND TUESDAY NIGHT...MARINE CONDITIONS WILL RAPIDLY
DETERIORATE BY LATE MORNING/EARLY AFTERNOON AS A STRONG PRESSURE
GRADIENT DEVELOPS BETWEEN A STRENGTHENING COASTAL LOW SHIFTING TO
OUR NORTHEAST AND HIGH PRESSURE BUILDING INLAND. SMALL CRAFT
ADVISORIES HAVE THEREFORE BEEN ISSUED FOR ALL NEARSHORE WATERS
BEGINNING TUESDAY EVENING. IT IS POSSIBLE WIND GUSTS COULD
APPROACH GALE FORCE TUESDAY NIGHT OVER WATERS BEYOND 15 NM FROM
THE COAST. A SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY WILL ALSO BE ONGOING IN OUTER
GEORGIA WATERS ON TUESDAY...BEFORE CONDITIONS DETERIORATE FURTHER
TUESDAY NIGHT AS STRONG COLD AIR ADVECTION OCCURS OVER THE WATERS.
A GALE WATCH HAS THEREFORE BEEN ISSUED FOR OUTER GEORGIA WATERS
TUESDAY NIGHT INTO EARLY WEDNESDAY MORNING...WITH WINDS EXPECTED
TO GUST BETWEEN 35-40 KT AND SEAS BUILDING AS HIGH AS 6-8 FT.

WEDNESDAY THROUGH FRIDAY...CONDITIONS WILL RAPIDLY IMPROVE OVER ALL
WATERS ON WEDNESDAY AS CONTINENTAL HIGH PRESSURE PROGRESSES INTO THE
ATLANTIC THURSDAY THROUGH FRIDAY. WINDS/SEAS WILL LIKELY DROP BELOW
ANY ADVISORY CRITERIA BY WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON AND THEN REMAIN BELOW
THROUGH LATE WEEK.
