AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE CHARLESTON SC
421 PM EST MON MAR 3 2014

.SYNOPSIS...
AN ARCTIC COLD FRONT WILL PUSH THROUGH TONIGHT...WITH A WEDGE OF
COLD HIGH PRESSURE BUILDING FROM THE NORTH THROUGH LATE WEEK.
MEANWHILE A LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM WILL MOVE NORTHEAST FROM THE GULF OF
MEXICO TO JUST EAST OF THE AREA THURSDAY AND FRIDAY. HIGH PRESSURE
SHOULD THEN RETURN INTO SUNDAY BEFORE ANOTHER COLD FRONT LIKELY
PUSHES THROUGH SUNDAY NIGHT.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM TUESDAY MORNING/...
WARM AND BREEZY CONDITIONS WILL CONTINUE FOR A FEW MORE HOURS THIS
EVENING AHEAD OF A COLD FRONT APPROACHING FROM THE WEST AS THE AREA
REMAINS SITUATED ALONG THE WESTERN EDGE OF ATLANTIC HIGH PRESSURE AT
THE SFC AND A MID LVL RIDGE ALOFT. SHOWER COVERAGE IS EXPECTED TO
EXPAND THIS EVENING AS MOISTURE DEEPENS AND ENHANCED LIFTING OCCURS
AHEAD AND ALONG THE EASTWARD MOVING FRONT...BUT QPF WILL REMAIN
SOMEWHAT LIMITED AS THE FRONT QUICKLY RACES TO THE COAST EARLY
TONIGHT. A WIND SHIFT TO THE NORTHWEST WILL OCCUR BEHIND THE INITIAL
COLD FRONT...SHIFTING DEEPER MOISTURE OFFSHORE BEFORE AN ARCTIC COLD
FRONT APPROACHES FROM THE NORTH. THE ARCTIC FRONT WILL BRING
SIGNIFICANTLY COLDER TEMPS OVERNIGHT AS STRONG COLD AIR ADVECTION
OCCURS OVER THE SOUTHEAST. LATEST SOUNDINGS INDICATE FREEZING
TEMPERATURES LIKELY FOR LOCATIONS AWAY FROM THE COAST AND NORTH OF
INTERSTATE 16 IN SOUTHEAST GEORGIA FOR AT LEAST A FEW HOURS BEFORE
DAYBREAK TUESDAY. HAVE THUS EXPANDED THE CURRENT FREEZE WARNING
TONIGHT TO INCLUDE ALL ZONES THAT WERE FORMERLY UNDER A FREEZE
WATCH. TEMPS SHOULD REACH 27 TO 32 DEGREES LATE TONIGHT...COLDEST
OVER OUR NORTHWEST TIER OF COUNTIES INLAND.

THE GREATEST CONCERN FOR THE OVERNIGHT PERIOD WILL BE FREEZING
DRIZZLE THAT DEVELOPS AS TEMPERATURES APPROACH FREEZING LATE. AT
THIS TIME...MODEL SOUNDINGS DEPICT SOME POST-FRONTAL LOW LEVEL
MOISTURE REMAINING IN PLACE AS THE INVERSION STRENGTHENS FROM THE
NORTH...BUT DRY MID/UPPER LVLS WILL LIKELY THE LIMIT OVERALL PRECIP
TO THE FORM OF LIGHT DRIZZLE OR LIGHT FREEZING DRIZZLE...RATHER THAN
LIGHT RAIN/FREEZING RAIN. NO ICE ACCUMULATIONS ARE EXPECTED TONIGHT
SINCE SOIL TEMPS WILL REMAIN WELL ABOVE FREEZING WHILE ENHANCED SFC
WINDS EVAPORATE MOST DRIZZLE BEFORE REACHING THE GROUND.
HOWEVER...THERE IS STILL A LOW POTENTIAL OF LIGHT ICE ACCRETION TO
ELEVATED SURFACES...IF AT ALL.

LAKE WINDS...LIMITED MIXING PROFILES OVER RELATIVELY COOL WATER
TEMPS OF LAKE MOULTRIE SHOULD KEEP WINDS BELOW 20 KT TONIGHT...ALTHOUGH
HIGHER GUSTS COULD OCCUR FOR A SHORT PERIOD ALONG THE LAKE SHORE
AS AN ARCTIC FRONT MOVES THROUGH THIS EVENING. SHOULD WINDS BE
HIGHER THAN ANTICIPATED...A LAKE WIND ADVISORY COULD BE NEEDED
LATER TONIGHT.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 AM TUESDAY MORNING THROUGH THURSDAY/...
TUESDAY...A COLD HIGH PRESSURE WEDGE WILL SPREAD DOWN THE EASTERN
SEABOARD BEHIND THE BACKDOOR COLD FRONT. MEANWHILE AMPLE MOISTURE
WILL OVERSPREAD THE WEDGE ALOFT...MAINTAINING OVERCAST SKIES. A
DEVELOPING COASTAL TROUGH WITH SOME ISENTROPIC LIFT WILL SUPPORT
PATCHY LIGHT RAIN OVER THE COASTAL WATERS AND IMMEDIATE COASTAL
AREAS. DUE TO PERSISTENT COLD ADVECTION COMBINED WITH VERY LIMITED
INSOLATION...TEMPERATURES WILL ONLY CREEP UPWARD DURING THE DAY. WE
LOWERED TEMPERATURES SEVERAL DEGREES BASED ON HOURLY TEMPERATURE
PROGS FROM HIGH-RES MODEL DATA. HIGH TEMPS WILL ONLY REACH THE LOW
TO MID 40S.

TUESDAY NIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY LOOK QUITE WET. THE UPPER PATTERN
SHIFTS TO A TROUGH IN THE EASTERN UNITED STATES WITH PROGRESSIVELY
STRONGER SHORTWAVES LIFTING OUT OF THE MISSISSIPPI VALLEY INTO THE
CAROLINAS. MEANWHILE WE EXPECT UPPER JET STREAKS TO DEVELOP IN
FAVORABLE REGIONS FOR SUBSTANTIAL UPPER LEVEL DIVERGENCE. A STRONG
UPPER LOW WILL LIFT NORTHEAST INTO THE REGION ON THURSDAY WITH A
SERIES OF SURFACE LOWS DEVELOPING IN THE EASTERN GULF AND NORTHERN
FLORIDA AND SHIFTING UP THE COAST.

WE EXPECT THE FIRST BATCH OF PRECIP TO DEVELOP TUESDAY NIGHT AND
MOVE UP THE COAST ON WEDNESDAY. THE SECOND BOUT WILL BE WEDNESDAY
NIGHT INTO THURSDAY AS THE PRIMARY SHORTWAVE BEGINS TO INTERACT WITH
THE AREA. WE HAVE MODERATE TO HIGH POPS FOR MUCH OF THE PERIOD...
HIGHEST ON THURSDAY. INSTABILITY PARAMETERS DO NOT APPEAR TO SUPPORT
THUNDER THOUGH WE COULD HAVE SOME HEAVIER SHOWERS ON THURSDAY DUE TO
FAVORABLE ATMOSPHERIC MOISTURE PROFILES COMBINED WITH STRONG
DYNAMICS.

CONTINUED COLD ADVECTION DUE TO WEDGING FROM THE NORTH...EXTENSIVE
CLOUD COVER AND EVAPORATIONAL COOLING...HIGHS WILL PERHAPS MAKE THE
LOWER 50S ON WEDNESDAY AND UPPER 40S ON THURSDAY.

&&

.LONG TERM /THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH MONDAY/...
GENERALLY IMPROVING CONDITIONS THURSDAY NIGHT AS THE UPPER TROUGH
SHIFTS OFFSHORE. MORE HIGH PRESSURE RIDGING FOR THE WEEKEND MEANS
WARMING TEMPS...LIKELY GETTING BACK ABOVE NORMAL. ANOTHER COLD FRONT
SHOULD PUSH THROUGH SUNDAY NIGHT WITH LIMITED MOISTURE...AND THUS
RAIN CHANCES...AND LEAD TO TEMPS DROPPING BACK CLOSER TO NORMAL IN
THE UPPER 60S/NEAR 70.

&&

.AVIATION /21Z MONDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/...
VFR IS EXPECTED EARLY IN THE PERIOD...THEN CONDITIONS WILL DETERIORATE
THIS EVENING. A COLD FRONT WILL APPROACH THE TERMINALS FROM THE
WEST TODAY WITH A FEW LIGHT SHOWERS POSSIBLE AHEAD OF IT. ONCE THE
FRONT PASSES THIS EVENING...MODEL SOUNDINGS INDICATE SIGNIFICANT
MOISTURE REMAINING IN THE LOW LEVELS WHICH WILL RESULT IN PERIODS
OF DRIZZLE AND LOWERING CIGS. THUS HAVE MAINTAINED A DOWNWARD
TREND IN THE TAF WITH CIGS BECOMING MVFR AND EVENTUALLY IFR
OVERNIGHT.

GUSTY SOUTHWEST WINDS WILL PERSIST THIS AFTERNOON AHEAD OF THE
FRONT...WITH SUSTAINED SPEEDS OF AROUND 15 KT WITH GUSTS 20-25 KTS.
AS THE FRONT CROSSES THE TERMINALS...WINDS WILL SHIFT TO THE NORTH
AND REMAIN FAIRLY GUSTY.

EXTENDED AVIATION OUTLOOK...HIGH CONFIDENCE IN MVFR CIGS TUESDAY
INTO FRIDAY...POSSIBLY LOWER AT TIMES...AS LOW-LEVEL MOISTURE
PERSISTS IN AN INLAND HIGH PRESSURE WEDGE/OFFSHORE LOW PRESSURE
PATTERN.

&&

.MARINE...
TONIGHT...WINDS/SEAS WILL QUICKLY INCREASE/BUILD FROM NORTH TO SOUTH
OVER THE WATERS WITH AN ARCTIC COLD FRONT THAT DROPS SOUTHWARD
ACROSS THE WATERS THIS EVENING. SMALL CRAFT ADVISORIES WILL BEGIN
EARLY TONIGHT AS AN IMPRESSIVE PRESSURE GRADIENT DEVELOPS IN WAKE OF
THE FRONT. A STRONG NORTHERLY SURGE ALONG WITH 40-45 KT 1000 MB
GEOSTROPHIC WINDS SUPPORT GALE FORCE WIND GUSTS OVER NORTHERN SC
WATERS FOR MOST OF TONIGHT....HIGHEST BEYOND 10 NM FROM THE COAST.
HAVE THEREFORE UPGRADED NORTHERN SC WATERS TO A GALE WARNING FOR
THE TONIGHT PERIOD. ELSEWHERE...SMALL CRAFT ADVISORIES WILL REMAIN
IN EFFECT FOR NORTHERLY WINDS AS HIGH AS 25 TO 30 KTS AND SEAS UP
TO 5-8 FT.

TUESDAY THROUGH SATURDAY...PERSISTENT NORTH-NORTHEAST WINDS WITH
ELEVATED SEAS PERSIST THROUGH MID TO LATE WEEK BEFORE THE PATTERN
SHIFTS OVER THE WEEKEND. SMALL CRAFT CONDITIONS WILL CONTINUE FOR
MUCH OF THE WEEK...MAINLY IN SEAS...OVER THE OFFSHORE GA WATERS.
