AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE CHARLESTON SC
154 PM EDT SAT APR 19 2014

.SYNOPSIS...
LOW PRESSURE WILL SHIFT OFF THE SOUTHEAST COAST LATE TODAY INTO
TONIGHT. THEN...THE LOW WILL CONTINUE TO GRADUALLY MOVE AWAY FROM
COAST SUNDAY. HIGH PRESSURE WILL BRIEFLY BUILD INTO THE REGION
MONDAY. A WEAKENING COLD FRONT WILL PUSH THROUGH THE AREA BY
WEDNESDAY... FOLLOWED BY HIGH PRESSURE AND WARMER TEMPERATURES
THROUGH LATE WEEK.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...
A DREARY DAY IS IN STORE AS A COMPLEX LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM MOVES
OFF THE FL/GA COAST INTO THE WESTERN ATLANTIC WHILE PRODIGIOUS
MOISTURE WRAPS AROUND THE NORTHWEST PERIPHERY. A WEAK WEDGE OF
HIGH PRESSURE WILL REMAIN ENTRENCHED ACROSS INLAND AREAS WHILE THE
SURFACE LOW TRACKS TO A POSITION OFF THE FL COAST BY EARLY THIS
EVENING. MORNING WATER VAPOR IMAGERY DEPICTS THE POWERFUL UPPER
LOW SPINNING ACROSS NORTHERN FLORIDA WITH AN ATMOSPHERIC RIVER
EXTENDING FROM THE BAHAMAS INTO EASTERN NC. A LARGE DRY SLOT
REMAINS ACROSS SC THOUGH A SECONDARY WAVE OF MID/UPPER LEVEL
MOISTURE WILL MOVE IN FROM THE SW THIS AFTERNOON.

DUE TO THE POSITION OF THE UPPER LOW SO NEAR THE AREA...THE MID
LEVELS ARE QUITE UNSTABLE. 700-500 MB LAPSE RATES EXCEED 8 C/KM
AND SHOWALTER INDICES WILL BE -4 TO -6C ACROSS SOUTHEAST GA THIS
AFTERNOON. THIS WOULD NORMALLY BE RATHER CONCERNING FOR HAIL
GROWTH. HOWEVER IT LOOKS AS THOUGH THE EXTENSIVE ISENTROPIC ASCENT
TODAY WILL MAINTAIN DENSE STRATUS AND THUS PRECLUDE THE
DEVELOPMENT OF SURFACE BASED INSTABILITY. WE STILL THINK A FEW
ELEVATED TSTMS WILL BE POSSIBLE DURING THE AFTERNOON IF SOME
POCKETS OF INSTABILITY DEVELOP. THOUGH THE PRIMARY PRECIPITATION
WILL BE AREAS OF DRIZZLE AND LIGHT RAIN SHOWERS TRAVERSING THE
AREA FROM TIME TO TIME.

LOW CLOUDS AND AREAS OF DRIZZLE/FOG LIKELY TO PERSIST INTO TONIGHT
AS THE LOW SLOWLY MOVES EAST OFF THE COAST. BREEZY CONDITIONS
EXPECTED LATER TONIGHT AS THE GRADIENT TIGHTENS.

&&

.SHORT TERM /SUNDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...
THE CUT-OFF UPPER LOW WILL ROLL ONLY SLOWLY EAST/NORTHEAST SUNDAY
THROUGH MONDAY...SUPPORTING ONLY GRADUAL IMPROVEMENT/LOWERING POPS.
CAPPED MAXIMUM POPS AROUND 50 PERCENT SUNDAY MORNING ACROSS NORTHERN
COASTAL COUNTIES/ADJACENT COASTAL WATERS...BUT HIGHER POPS COULD BE
REQUIRED SUNDAY DEPENDING ON THE DISTRIBUTION OF WRAP-AROUND
MOISTURE. ALSO OF NOTE...A TIGHT SURFACE PRESSURE GRADIENT BETWEEN
THE OFFSHORE LOW PRESSURE AND HIGH PRESSURE BUILDING FROM THE NORTH
WILL SUPPORT BREEZY/WINDY CONDITIONS AND BELOW-NORMAL TEMPERATURES
MAINLY IN THE 60S SUNDAY...FOLLOWED BY TEMPERATURES IN THE 70S AND
LIGHTER WINDS MONDAY.

TUESDAY...AN UPPER TROUGH AND ASSOCIATED SURFACE COLD FRONT WILL
APPROACH THE REGION FROM THE WEST/NORTHWEST. AHEAD OF THESE
FEATURES...TEMPERATURES SHOULD WARM INTO THE LOWER 80S AT MANY
LOCATIONS. DURING THE AFTERNOON/EVENING...GUIDANCE CONTINUES TO
DEPICT A BAND OF ENHANCED 850-500 MB MOISTURE PUSHING THROUGH THE
REGION. THE 19/00 UTC GFS DEPICTION OF INSTABILITY FEATURING SBCAPES
AS HIGH AS 900-1000 J/KG AND CLIMATOLOGY JUSTIFY A SLIGHT CHANCE OF
THUNDERSTORMS DURING THIS PERIOD.

LAKE WINDS...GUSTY WINDS WILL LIKELY NECESSITATE A LAKE WIND
ADVISORY SUNDAY INTO SUNDAY NIGHT.

&&

.LONG TERM /TUESDAY NIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY/...
THE UPPER TROUGH AND ASSOCIATED SURFACE COLD FRONT WILL PUSH THROUGH
THE REGION TUESDAY NIGHT. SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE WILL THEN BUILD OVER
THE REGION FROM THE NORTH...SUPPORTING RAIN-FREE CONDITIONS AND
TEMPERATURES RANGING FROM THE THE MID 70S LOWER 80S WEDNESDAY AND
UPPER 70S TO MID 80S THURSDAY. AS THE HIGH SHIFTS OFFSHORE
FRIDAY...TEMPERATURES IN THE LOWER TO MID 80S WILL BE COMMON AWAY
FROM THE IMMEDIATE COAST.

&&

.AVIATION /18Z SATURDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/...
IFR/LIFR CEILINGS EXPECTED TO PERSIST THROUGH TONIGHT AS A LOW
PRESSURE SYSTEM SITS OFFSHORE AND CONTINUES TO WRAP LOW-LEVEL
MOISTURE INTO THE AREA. SCT SHOWERS WILL POP UP THIS AFTERNOON AS
THE UPPER LOW MOVES CLOSER TO THE AREA. COVERAGE IS TOO LOW TO
JUSTIFY MORE THAN A MENTION OF VICINITY SHOWERS. CONDITIONS WILL
IMPROVE AFTER DAYBREAK SUNDAY ONCE THE LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM STARTS
TO PUSH EAST AND SOME DRIER AIR STARTS TO FILTER IN FROM THE WEST.
HOWEVER WE WILL LIKELY SEE MVFR CEILINGS CONTINUE THROUGH 18Z.

GUSTY WINDS WILL DEVELOP OVERNIGHT INTO SUNDAY WITH A TIGHTENING
PRESSURE GRADIENT.

EXTENDED AVIATION OUTLOOK...MVFR CEILINGS POSSIBLE THROUGH SUNDAY
EVENING. BRIEF BOUT OF MVFR CONDITIONS AROUND DAYBREAK MONDAY.

&&

.MARINE...
CONDITIONS NOT LOOKING TO IMPROVE TOO MUCH TODAY AS LOW PRES
MOVES OFF THE NE FLORIDA COAST LATE. THE GRADIENT WILL BEGIN TO
PACK AGAIN TONIGHT PRODUCING INCREASING N TO NE FLOW AND WINDS
GUSTING OVER 30 KT AGAIN...ESPECIALLY AFTER MIDNIGHT. SMALL CRAFT
ADVISORIES WILL CONTINUE ALL WATERS INCLUDING THE CHARLESTON
HARBOR THROUGH TONIGHT.

AN IMPRESSIVE SURFACE PRESSURE GRADIENT AND 35-40 KT WINDS AS LOW AS
THE 950-925 MB LAYER SUGGEST THE POTENTIAL FOR GALES OUTSIDE
CHARLESTON HARBOR SUNDAY INTO SUNDAY NIGHT. THUS...RAISED GALE
WATCHES FOR ALL ZONES OUTSIDE THE HARBOR BEGINNING 12Z SUNDAY AND
CONTINUING THROUGH SUNDAY EVENING ACROSS NEARSHORE WATERS AND
THROUGH SUNDAY NIGHT ACROSS AMZ374. SOLID SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY
CONDITIONS WILL PREVAIL ON CHARLESTON HARBOR DURING THIS PERIOD.
EXPECT A TRANSITION TO SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY CONDITIONS OUTSIDE THE
HARBOR WHEN GALES END OVERNIGHT SUNDAY NIGHT INTO MONDAY. SMALL
CRAFT ADVISORY SEAS COULD PERSIST ACROSS AMZ374 THROUGH MONDAY
NIGHT/TUESDAY MORNING.

WINDS/SEAS ARE EXPECTED TO REMAIN SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY LEVELS AHEAD
OF AN APPROACHING COLD FRONT TUESDAY. THIS FRONT WILL ADVANCE
THROUGH THE WATERS TUESDAY NIGHT...AND A PERIOD OF SMALL CRAFT
ADVISORY WINDS IS POSSIBLE ESPECIALLY ACROSS AMZ374 THROUGH
WEDNESDAY. THEN...WINDS/SEAS SHOULD REMAIN BELOW SCA LEVELS THROUGH
LATE WEEK.

RIP CURRENTS...MODERATE TO HIGH RISK TODAY...HIGHEST ALONG THE
GEORGIA COAST. AN ENHANCED RISK FOR RIP CURRENTS WILL PERSIST
THROUGH THE WEEKEND AND PERHAPS INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK.

&&

.TIDES/COASTAL FLOODING...
TIDES WILL CONTINUE TO RUN HIGH THROUGH THE WEEKEND AND COASTAL
FLOOD ADVISORIES COULD BE NEEDED DURING THE NIGHTTIME HIGH TIDE
CYCLES.

&&

.CHS WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
GA...NONE.
