Area forecast discussion, Apr 7, 4:49 PM EDT, 0 minutes before

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

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

.SYNOPSIS...
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 6 AM TUESDAY MORNING/...
TORNADO WATCH HAS BEEN CLEARED FOR BULLOCH-EVANS-TATTNALL-CANDLER.
WHAT IS LEFT OF THE QLCS IS MOVING STEADILY NORTHEAST AND EXTENDS
FROM ROUGHLY BRANCHVILLE-CUMMINGS-SPRINGFIELD-BLOOMINGDALE-
RICHMOND HILL WITH A SECONDARY AREA OF CONVECTION FIRING NEAR
HORTENSE GEORGIA. THE RISK FOR DAMAGING WINDS AND TORNADOES
CONTINUES ACROSS THE REMAINDER OF THE TORNADO WATCH AREA.

ONCE THE INITIAL QLCS MOVES ACROSS THE FORECAST AREA...THERE WILL
BE SEVERAL HOURS OF MODERATE TO LOCALLY HEAVY RAINFALL AS THE
COLD FRONT APPROACHES FROM THE WEST. GENERAL RAINFALL AMOUNTS OF
1-3 INCHES WILL BE POSSIBLE WHICH COULD PRODUCE SOME FLOODING
PROBLEMS...ESPECIALLY IF THE ENTIRE SYSTEM SLOWS SLIGHTLY AS
SUGGESTED BY SOME GUIDANCE. WIDESPREAD FLASH FLOODING APPEARS
UNLIKELY ATTM SO A FLASH FLOOD WATCH IS NOT BEING CONSIDERED AT
THIS JUNCTURE. THE FRONT LOOKS TO PUSH OFF THE COAST PRIOR TO
SUNRISE TUESDAY. THERE WILL BE A RISK FOR LOCALLY HEAVY RAINFALL FOR
MUCH OF THE NIGHT. TEMPERATURES WILL BE PRIMARY DRIVEN BY CONVECTION
THIS EVENING...WITH LOWS BOTTOMING OUT IN THE UPPER 50S ACROSS FAR
INTERIOR SOUTHEAST GEORGIA TO THE MID 60S AT THE COAST.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 AM TUESDAY MORNING THROUGH THURSDAY/...
THE COLD FRONT WILL BE MOVING OFF THE COAST DURING THE MORNING.
NUMEROUS SHOWERS WILL ACCOMPANY THE FRONT...WITH THE BEST POPS
PUSHING INTO THE COASTAL WATERS BY LATE MORNING. A POCKET OF DRIER
AIR IMMEDIATELY FOLLOWING THE FRONT WILL DIMINISH RAIN CHANCES
ACROSS INLAND AREAS DURING THE DAY. THEN TUESDAY NIGHT A SECONDARY
COLD FRONT WILL DROP IN FROM THE NORTHWEST. THIS FRONT WILL COINCIDE
WITH THE MAIN UPPER TROUGH AXIS SHIFTING THROUGH. A POOL OF SLIGHTLY
DEEPER MOISTURE WILL OVERSPREAD THE AREA TUESDAY NIGHT WITH WEAK
ISENTROPIC ASCENT SQUEEZING OUT SOME ISOLATED SHOWERS ACROSS
SOUTHERN SC.

WEDNESDAY INTO THURSDAY LOOK DRY WITH A GRADUAL WARMING TREND AND
DIMINISHING CLOUD COVER. TEMPS WILL CLIMB INTO THE MID TO UPPER 70S.

&&

.LONG TERM /THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH MONDAY/...
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 /21Z 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...THERE ARE NO MAJOR CONCERNS.

&&

.MARINE...
TONIGHT...SOUTH WINDS WILL TURN SOUTHWEST THIS EVENING AS A COLD
FRONT APPROACHES FROM THE WEST. THERE IS A SLIGHT POSSIBILITY THAT
WINDS COULD BRIEFLY TURN OFFSHORE IF OUTFLOW/WEDGE FRONT
COMBINATION CURRENTLY MOVING THROUGH THE CENTRAL PORTIONS OF THE
FORECAST AREA KEEPS PROGRESSING EAST. WINDS IN THE CHARLESTON
HARBOR HARBOR HAVE SUBSIDED AND ARE NOT REALLY EXPECTED TO CLIMB
OVERNIGHT...SO THE SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY WILL BE CANCELLED. OVER
THE OFFSHORE WATERS...SEAS ARE EXPECTED TO CLIMB TO 6 FT THIS
EVENING SO THE SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY FOR THE GEORGIA OFFSHORE
WATERS WILL REMAIN IN FORCE. A TORNADO WATCH REMAINS IN EFFECT FOR
ALL LEGS...EXCLUDING THE GEORGIA OFFSHORE WATERS...UNTIL 9 PM.

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. THE OFFSHORE FETCH WILL
MINIMIZE POTENTIAL FOR SMALL CRAFT ADVISORIES ACROSS NEARSHORE
WATERS BUT THE OFFSHORE GA WATERS WILL REMAIN IN ADVISORY STATUS
UNTIL MIDDAY WEDNESDAY. IMPROVING CONDITIONS THEN ON TAP LATER
WEDNESDAY AND CONTINUING THROUGH SATURDAY AS HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS IN.

&&

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