AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE CHARLESTON SC
236 PM EDT MON APR 7 2014

...TORNADO WATCH IN EFFECT UNTIL 9 PM EDT...

.SYNOPSIS...
A WARM FRONT WILL LIFT NORTH OF THE REGION THIS MORNING. A COLD
FRONT WILL MOVE THROUGH THE REGION TONIGHT FOLLOWED BY A
REINFORCING COLD FRONT TUESDAY NIGHT INTO WEDNESDAY. COOL AND DRY
HIGH PRESSURE WILL THEN PREVAIL THROUGH THURSDAY BEFORE MILDER
WEATHER RETURNS LATE IN THE WEEK AS THE HIGH MOVES OFFSHORE. AN
APPROACHING COLD FRONT COULD BRING RAIN BACK TO THE AREA NEXT
MONDAY.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 7 PM THIS EVENING/...
TORNADO WATCH 68 ISSUED FOR ALL BUT ALLENDALE-SCREVEN-JENKINS
UNTIL 9 PM. NASTY QLCS IS TAKING SHAPE ACROSS SOUTH-CENTRAL
GEORGIA WHICH WILL SPREAD EAST/NORTHEAST INTO THE AREA. BEST
CHANCES FOR SEVERE WEATHER WILL BE SOUTH OF THE I-16 CORRIDOR UP
ALONG THE LOWER SOUTH CAROLINA COAST INTO THE CHARLESTON METRO
AREA. WHAT APPEARS TO BE THE WEDGE FRONT IS MOVING BACK TO THE
SOUTH PER INFLUENCES FROM PRECIPITATION FALLING OVER THE CENTRAL
MIDLANDS. THE BOUNDARY IS SHOWING UP NICELY ON KCLX REFLECTIVITY
AND MAY SERVE TO ENHANCE THE TORNADO THREAT ALONG AND JUST AHEAD
OF IT AS IT DROPS EAST/SOUTHEAST. TRENDS ARE BEING MONITORED...

&&

.SHORT TERM /7 PM THIS EVENING THROUGH THURSDAY/...
TONIGHT...A SMALL SEVERE WEATHER POTENTIAL EXISTS AHEAD OF A COLD
FRONT BUT EXPECT LOWER LEVELS MAY BE STABILIZED SOMEWHAT BY THE
INITIAL CONVECTION AND POCKETS OF HEAVIER CONVECTIVE RAINS.
VERY HIGH PWATS SUGGEST WE WILL SEE SOME BANDS OF HEAVY RAINFALL
WITH A BIT OF TRAINING POTENTIAL OVERNIGHT POTENTIALLY CREATING
MINOR FLOODING ISSUES IN SOME AREAS.

TUESDAY...A COLD FRONT WILL BE NEAR THE COAST AND PUSHING
OFFSHORE AROUND DAYBREAK. RAIN CHANCES WILL BE LOWERING FROM WEST
TO EAST AS DRIER AIR FILTERS IN FROM THE WEST. HOWEVER...WEAK LOW
PRESSURE WILL PERSIST OVER THE AREA AHEAD OF THE DEEP UPPER TROUGH
APPROACHING FROM THE WEST AND WITH SOME DEEPER MOISTURE SHIFTING
BACK IN FROM THAT DIRECTION WE COULD SEE SOME SHOWERS EVEN DURING
THE AFTERNOON...BUT BETTER CHANCES WILL BE TUESDAY NIGHT AS THE
TROUGH AXIS SHIFTS OVER THE AREA. COULD SEE SOME GRAUPLE WITH THE
SHOWERS AS THE MID-LEVELS RAPIDLY COOL. TEMPERATURES SHOULD REACH
THE LOWER 70S TUESDAY AFTERNOON BEFORE FALLING BACK TO NEAR 50
TUESDAY NIGHT.

WEDNESDAY...COOL AND MOSTLY DRY CONDITIONS EXPECTED WEDNESDAY AS
HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS FROM THE WEST. THERE COULD BE SOME LINGERING
MOISTURE ALONG THE SC COAST TO PRODUCE SOME LIGHT SHOWERS IN THE
MORNING...POSSIBLY EVEN SOME GRAUPLE GIVEN THE LOW FREEZING/WET BULB
ZERO HEIGHTS. HIGH PRESSURE WILL EVENTUALLY SHIFT OVER THE CAROLINAS
WEDNESDAY NIGHT PROVIDING DECENT RADIATIONAL COOLING CONDITIONS.
COULD TEMPS DOWN NEAR 40 DEGREES BY DAYBREAK THURSDAY.

THURSDAY...HIGH PRESSURE WILL SLIP OFFSHORE CAUSING A SLIGHTLY
WARMER ONSHORE FLOW. EXPECT DRY CONDITIONS WITH HIGHS GENERALLY IN
THE LOWER TO MID 70S AWAY FROM THE LOCALLY COOLER COAST.

&&

.LONG TERM /THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY/...
A WARMING TREND WILL BE ON TAP INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK AS HIGH PRESSURE
REMAINS OFFSHORE ALLOWING A MORE SOUTHERLY FLOW TO PREVAIL. NO
SIGNIFICANT RAIN CHANCES ARE EXPECTED THROUGH THE WEEKEND BUT THAT
COULD CHANGE ON MONDAY AS A COLD FRONT BEGINS TO APPROACH FROM THE
WEST.

&&

.AVIATION /19Z MONDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/...
EXPECT DETERIORATING CONDITIONS THIS AFTERNOON AS CONVECTION
ASSOCIATED WITH AN APPROACHING COLD FRONT IMPACTS BOTH KCHS AND
KSAV. EVEN AHEAD OF THIS LINE...A STRONG GRADIENT WILL CONTINUE TO
RESULT IN GUSTS NEAR 25 KNOTS. TIMED THE LINE OF THUNDERSTORMS TO
NEAR THE TERMINALS AROUND 20Z-21Z...AND LINGER INTO THE EVENING
HOURS. AS RADAR TRENDS BECOME BETTER ESTABLISHED LATER THIS
AFTERNOON...WILL AMEND TAFS WITH MORE CONVECTIVE DETAILS.

OVERNIGHT...EXPECT PLENTY OF LINGERING MOISTURE TO RESULT IN
ADDITIONAL RAIN AND/OR LOWERING CEILINGS. HAVE MAINTAINED LOW-END
MVFR CONDITIONS FOR NOW...BUT SOME GUIDANCE SUGGEST IFR CEILINGS. IN
ADDITION...MODEL SOUNDINGS SHOW 30-40 KNOTS JUST OFF THE SURFACE. IF
WIND GUSTS DIMINISH AFTER THE BULK OF DEEP CONVECTION PUSHES
OFFSHORE...SEVERAL HOURS /GENERALLY BETWEEN 03Z-09Z/ OF LLWS MAY BE
NEEDED IN THE TAFS. EXPECT CONDITIONS TO SLOWLY IMPROVE AFTER
DAYBREAK ON TUESDAY.

EXTENDED AVIATION OUTLOOK...LOW CHANCE THAT LOW CIGS COULD LINGER
INTO TUESDAY AFTERNOON WITH A MODERATE TO HIGH CHANCE THEY WILL OCCUR
AGAIN TUESDAY NIGHT AS A REINFORCING COLD FRONT MOVES THROUGH.
BREEZY CONDS LIKELY TUESDAY AFTERNOON...POSSIBLY WEDNESDAY
AFTERNOON AS WELL. OTHERWISE...VFR WED-SAT.

&&

.MARINE...
ADDED A MENTION OF SEA FOG TO THE FORECAST AND ISSUED A MARINE
WEATHER STATEMENT TO HIGHLIGHT POTENTIAL DEVELOPMENT. ALREADY
SEEING AREAS OF FOG DEVELOPING OFF THE CHARLESTON COUNTY COAST PER
PILOT BOAT AND WEBCAM REPORTS. DO NOT ANTICIPATE THE NEED FOR A
MARINE DENSE FOG ADVISORY SINCE WINDS WILL BE INCREASING PRIOR TO
THE ARRIVAL OF THE SQUALL LINE...BUT TRENDS ARE BEING WATCHED
CAREFULLY.

NO SIGNIFICANT CHANGES TO THE FORECAST GIVEN MARINE STABILITY
FACTORS AND LATEST TRENDS FROM SURFACE WINDS AND SEA HEIGHT
OBSERVATIONS. A SOLID SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY IN THE CHARLESTON
HARBOR THIS AFTERNOON BUT OUR NEAR SHORE WATERS WILL LIKELY SEE
SPEEDS ONLY INCREASING TO 15 TO 20 KT AND SEAS BUILDING TO 4-5 FT.
SEAS BUILDING FURTHER OFFSHORE WILL SCA CONDITIONS DEVELOPING IN
OUR OUTER GEORGIA WATERS BY MID MORNING TODAY. TONIGHT...STRONGEST
FLOW OVER WARMER WATERS BEYOND 20 NM OFF THE GEORGIA COAST. SEAS
CLOSER TO THE GULF STREAM AT 6-7 FT. CONVECTION WILL LIKELY PLAY
HAVOC WITH WINDS AT SOME POINT THIS EVENING AND OVERNIGHT.

TUESDAY THROUGH SATURDAY...A COLD FRONT WILL PUSH THROUGH THE WATERS
TUESDAY MORNING WITH WINDS DIMINISHING DURING THE DAY GIVEN THE
SLACKENING PRESSURE GRADIENT/LOW-LEVEL JET. HOWEVER...A REINFORCING
COLD FRONT LOOKS TO PUSH THROUGH TUESDAY NIGHT INTO EARLY WEDNESDAY
BEHIND A STRONG UPPER LEVEL DISTURBANCE. ADVISORY CONDITIONS LIKELY
FOR MOST WATERS DURING THIS TIME. IMPROVING CONDITIONS THEN ON TAP
LATER WEDNESDAY AND CONTINUING THROUGH SATURDAY WITH NO HEADLINES
EXPECTED THIS PERIOD.

&&

.CHS WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
GA...NONE.
SC...NONE.
MARINE...SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY UNTIL 4 AM EDT TUESDAY FOR AMZ330.
     SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY UNTIL NOON EDT WEDNESDAY FOR AMZ374.
