AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE CHARLESTON SC
630 PM EST MON JAN 20 2014

.SYNOPSIS...
WEAKENING HIGH PRESSURE WILL PREVAIL THROUGH TONIGHT. A COLD
FRONT WILL MOVE THROUGH TUESDAY FOLLOWED BY ARCTIC HIGH PRESSURE.
A REINFORCING COLD FRONT WILL DROP THROUGH THURSDAY AFTERNOON WITH
ANOTHER ARCTIC HIGH BUILDING IN BEHIND AND PERSISTING THROUGH
EARLY NEXT WEEK.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM TUESDAY MORNING/...
RAP FORECAST SOUNDINGS SUGGEST A STRONG NOCTURNAL INVERSION WILL
SETUP JUST AFTER SUNSET AND INDEED THE 00Z CHS RAOB IS ALREADY
SHOWING ONE DEVELOPING. EXPECT THE BOUNDARY LAYER TO DECOUPLE
QUICKLY OVER THE NEXT 1-2 HOURS...EXCEPT ALONG THE COAST WHERE
FULL DECOUPLING MAY NOT OCCUR UNTIL VERY LATE. CLEAR SKIES WILL
DOMINATE THROUGH THE NIGHT...ALTHOUGH SOME OF THE HIGHER RESOLUTION
SIMULATE CLOUD PRODUCTS SUGGEST A BAND OF LOW CLOUDS WITH ORIGINS
FROM THE NORTHEAST GULF OF MEXICO COULD SNEAK INTO TATTNALL...LONG
AND MCINTOSH COUNTIES PRIOR TO DAYBREAK. IT IS UNCLEAR WHETHER
THIS WILL OCCUR OR NOT...ESPECIALLY GIVEN THE DRY AIRMASS THAT IS
IN PLACE. HOWEVER...THIS BEARS WATCHING. LOWS WILL RANGE FROM THE
MID 30S INLAND TO THE LOWER 40S AT THE COAST.

FOR THE EARLY EVENING UPDATE...
1. ADJUSTED HOURLY TEMPERATURES TO TRY AND CAPTURE RADIATIONAL
THERMAL FALLS A BIT BETTER.
2. ADJUSTED OVERNIGHT LOWS TO INCLUDE SOME MESOSCALE INFLUENCES.
3. LOWERED WIND SPEEDS ACROSS THE BOARD TO REFLECT A DECOUPLED
BOUNDARY LAYER.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 AM TUESDAY MORNING THROUGH THURSDAY/...
TUESDAY...SURFACE LOW PRESSURE WILL BE RAPIDLY DEEPENING
OVER THE APPALACHIAN REGION BY DAYBREAK. SHORTWAVE ENERGY SWINGING
SOUTHEAST FROM THE GREAT LAKES/OHIO VALLEY REGIONS WILL ENERGIZE THE
WAVE OF LOW PRESSURE THAT WILL FOLLOW THE UPPER LEVEL FEATURE INTO
THE CAROLINAS AND OFF THE MID ATLANTIC COASTLINE AS THE DAY
PROGRESSES. AN ASSOCIATED TRAILING COLD FRONT WILL BE PULLED INTO
THE FORECAST AREA DURING THE AFTERNOON HOURS...WITH COLD ADVECTION
QUICKLY INITIATING IN ITS WAKE. THE FRONT APPEARS TO HAVE LITTLE
ACCESS TO DEEP MOISTURE...THUS CONTINUE TO ADVERTISE A DRY PASSAGE
AND RAIN CHANCES BELOW 15 PERCENT. SUFFICIENT DELAY IN THE COLD
ADVECTION WILL ALLOW HIGH TEMPERATURES TO REACH SEASONAL NORMALS IN
THE UPPER 50S TO AROUND 60 DEGREES.

THE MAIN CONCERN DURING FRONTAL PASSAGE ON TUESDAY REMAINS
BREEZY TO GUSTY CONDITIONS...AS RAPID PRESSURE RISES AND A 35 TO
45 KT LOW LEVEL JET SHIFTS OVER THE AREA. GUIDANCE NUMBERS HAVE
TRENDED DOWNWARD DURING THE PAST FEW MODEL RUNS...WITH MODEL
OUTPUT GENERALLY KEEPING CONDITIONS JUST BELOW WIND ADVISORY
THRESHOLDS. IN ADDITION...THE LACK OF PRECIPITATION/CONVECTION
ASSOCIATED WITH THE FRONT SUGGESTS THAT IMPACTS OF STRONGEST GUSTS
COULD BE LESS THAN IN WETTER SCENARIOS. THUS PREFER TO HOLD OFF ON
ISSUING A WIND ADVISORY AT THIS TIME.

TUESDAY NIGHT INTO WEDNESDAY NIGHT...EXPECT LOW TEMPERATURES TO BE
QUITE COLD TUESDAY NIGHT...AS HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS INTO THE
SOUTHEAST STATES AND COLD ADVECTION CONTINUES. WINDS WILL ALSO
REMAIN SOMEWHAT ELEVATED INTO AT LEAST THE LATE EVENING TO
NIGHTTIME PERIOD. AS A RESULT...TEMPERATURES WILL FALL INTO THE
LOW 20S INLAND TO THE MID/UPPER 20S CLOSER TO THE COAST...WHILE
WIND CHILLS REACH THE TEENS. WEDNESDAY WILL BE NOTABLY COLDER AS
DRY ARCTIC AIR FILTERS INTO THE REGION...WITH HIGH TEMPERATURES
SUPPRESSED IN THE LOW TO MID 40S...NEARLY 20 DEGREES BELOW
SEASONAL NORMALS. WIND CHILLS WILL NOT BE AS MUCH AN ISSUE ON
WEDNESDAY NIGHT...HOWEVER IMPROVED RADIATIONAL COOLING CONDITIONS
WILL SUPPORT LOW TEMPERATURES IN THE 20 DEGREE RANGE ONCE AGAIN.

THURSDAY...A SECONDARY REINFORCING COLD FRONT WILL SWEEP TOWARD THE
SOUTHEAST STATES ON THURSDAY...AHEAD OF A DEVELOPING LONGWAVE
TROUGH UPSTREAM. HIGH TEMPERATURES WILL BE ABLE TO MODERATE TO THE
LOWER 50S WITHIN SLIGHTLY HIGHER THICKNESSES AND PERHAPS SOME PRE-
FRONTAL COMPRESSION...YET STILL FALL WELL BELOW NORMALS.

LAKE WINDS...COLD ADVECTION WILL INITIATE BEHIND A COLD FRONT
LATE TUESDAY MORNING...ALLOWING STRONG LOW LEVEL WINDS TO MIX
DOWN TO THE LAKE SURFACE. A LAKE WIND ADVISORY HAS BEEN ISSUED FOR
LAKE MOULTRIE TO ACCOUNT FOR WEST/NORTHWEST WINDS 20 TO 25 KT FROM
LATE TUESDAY MORNING THROUGH TUESDAY NIGHT.

&&

.LONG TERM /THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH MONDAY/...
ANOTHER STRONG COLD FRONT PUSHES THROUGH THURSDAY NIGHT WITH
REINFORCING ARCTIC HIGH PRESSURE SETTLING OVER THE AREA FRIDAY INTO
EARLY NEXT WEEK. THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY NIGHT WILL BE THE
COLDEST PERIODS...WITH LOWS WELL INTO THE 20S AND HIGHS ONLY IN THE
40S. BY SATURDAY...THE AIR MASS BEGINS TO MODIFY AND LOW-LEVEL
THICKNESSES RISE. HIGHS WILL CLIMB INTO THE 50S WITH LOWS IN THE
30S.

&&

.AVIATION /00Z TUESDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/...
VFR. GUSTY SOUTHWEST WINDS WILL DEVELOP BY 15-16Z AS THE MORNING
INVERSION BREAKS. ARCTIC COLD FRONT FORECAST TO CROSS THE
TERMINALS 21-22Z TUESDAY. THE FRONT WILL PASS THROUGH DRY...BUT A
2-3 HOURS SIGNIFICANT WIND SURGE WILL LIKELY OCCUR WITH THE
FRONTAL PASSAGE DUE TO ISALLOBARIC EFFECTS. COULD SEE GUSTS
APPROACH 25-30 KT FOR A TIME AS WINDS TURN WEST.

EXTENDED AVIATION OUTLOOK...GUSTY WINDS WILL LINGER OVERNIGHT
TUESDAY.

&&

.MARINE...
WILL CONSIDER UPGRADING THE GALE WATCH TO A GALE WARNING FOR THE
GEORGIA OFFSHORE WATERS WITH THE LATE EVENING UPDATE AS CONFIDENCE
IS HIGH FOR REACHING GALE WARNING CRITERIA BEGINNING TUESDAY
AFTERNOON. CONFIDENCE FOR NEARSHORE WATERS IS STILL TOO LOW TO
JUSTIFY AN UPGRADE ATTM. MORE INFORMATION LATER THIS EVENING.

TONIGHT...WINDS WILL INCREASE SLIGHTLY AHEAD OF AN APPROACHING
COLD FRONT. WINDS LOOK TO GO NO HIGHER THAN 15-20 KT AT BEST WITH
SEAS 1-3 FT NEARSHORE...3-4 FT OFFSHORE.

MARINE CONDITIONS WILL BE DETERIORATING RAPIDLY BY EARLY TUESDAY
AFTERNOON...AS A COLD FRONT CROSSES THE AREA AND STRONG COLD
ADVECTION INITIATES IN ITS WAKE. A 35 TO 45 KT LOW LEVEL JET WILL
SHIFT OVER THE WATERS BY LATE AFTERNOON...AND WITH COLDER AIR
MOVING OVER THE WARMER WATERS...EXPECT SOME OF THESE STRONG WINDS
TO MIX TO THE SURFACE LATE IN THE DAY AND OVERNIGHT. HAVE
INITIATED WITH SMALL CRAFT ADVISORIES FOR ALL MARINE ZONES TUESDAY
MORNING...SINCE THE STRONGEST WINDS WILL LIKELY BE DELAYED UNTIL
THE MID TO LATE AFTERNOON HOURS. HAVE THEN RAISED A GALE WATCH FOR
THE NEARSHORE AND OFFSHORE ZONES THROUGH TUESDAY NIGHT TO ACCOUNT
FOR THE POTENTIAL OF FREQUENT GUSTS TO 35 KT. MODEL GUIDANCE
NUMBERS REMAIN JUST BELOW GALE CRITERIA CLOSEST TO THE
COASTLINE...AND HAVE THEREFORE PLACED THE CHARLESTON HARBOR WITHIN
A HIGH-END SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY FOR THE DURATION OF THE EVENT.
SEAS WILL BE MITIGATED BY THE PREVAILING OFFSHORE FLOW...YET STILL
BUILD 4 TO 6 FT WITHIN 20 NM AND 6 TO 8 FT OUTER WATERS.

WINDS AND SEAS WILL DIMINISH WEDNESDAY THROUGH THURSDAY WITH HIGH
PRESSURE BUILDING INTO THE REGION. HOWEVER ANOTHER COLD FRONT
WITH ARCTIC HIGH PRESSURE IN ITS WAKE WILL BRING A SURGE IN
WINDS/SEAS AGAIN ON FRIDAY.

.FIRE WEATHER...
AS A STRONG COLD FRONT PASSES...STRONG/GUSTY WEST WINDS EASILY
EXCEEDING CRITICAL THRESHOLDS WILL COMBINE WITH MINIMUM RELATIVE
HUMIDITY LEVELS IN THE 30-40 PERCENT RANGE TO ENHANCE THE FIRE

VALID ALL AREAS. THERE IS A LOW PROBABILITY FOR LOWER DEWPOINTS/
RELATIVE HUMIDITY WHICH COULD APPROACH RED FLAG CRITERIA.
