AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE COLUMBIA SC
421 AM EST THU DEC 24 2015
.SYNOPSIS...
HIGH PRESSURE RIDGING INTO THE REGION FROM THE ATLANTIC WILL KEEP
UNSEASONABLY WARM WEATHER ACROSS THE AREA THROUGH THIS WEEKEND. A
COLD FRONT COULD STALL OVER OR CLOSE TO THE REGION THEN LIFT NORTH
AS A WARM FRONT EARLY NEXT WEEK...BRINGING AN INCREASED CHANCE FOR
SHOWERS.
&&
.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...
SHORTWAVE ENERGY AND ASSOCIATED ENHANCED 850MB JET WILL EXIT
THE REGION TO THE NORTHEAST TODAY. PRECIPITABLE WATER WILL REMAIN
VERY HIGH...1.5 TO 1.8 INCHES. LINGERING SHOWERS THIS MORNING
WILL DECREASE IN COVERAGE AS UPPER HEIGHTS BEGIN TO BUILD INTO THE
REGION AND UPPER FORCING LIFTS NORTH OF THE MIDLANDS. THE AIR MASS
IS FORECAST TO BECOME MODERATELY UNSTABLE THIS AFTERNOON...SO
CANNOT RULE OUT ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS. WILL INDICATE SLIGHT
CHANCE POPS FOR THE SOUTHEASTERN COUNTIES...INCREASING TO HIGH
CHANCE ACROSS THE PIEDMONT AND NORTH MIDLANDS.
WILL HOLD ONTO FLASH FLOOD WATCH THIS MORNING...THOUGH HEAVIEST
RAINFALL SHOULD BE WEST OF THE MIDLANDS AND CSRA. SHOULD SEE
MAINLY DRY CONDITIONS OVER THE WEEKEND AS SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE
AND THE MID LEVEL RIDGE HEIGHTS INCREASE ACROSS THE SOUTHEASTERN
STATES. WILL KEEP SLIGHT CHANCE POPS GIVEN ABUNDANT LOW LEVEL
MOISTURE AND UNSTABLE AIRMASS.
A DEVELOPING WARM FRONT WILL FOCUS PRECIPITATION NORTH OF THE
FORECAST AREA ACROSS THE UPSTATE AND INTO NORTH CAROLINA TONIGHT
AND SHOULD REMAIN NORTH OF OUR AREA...SO WILL CONTINUE CHANCE POPS
WITH A GRADIENT FROM HIGHER POPS NORTHWEST TO LOWEST POPS SOUTHEAST.
TEMPERATURES WILL BE VERY WARM FOR THIS TIME OF YEAR WITH POSSIBLE
RECORDS BEING TIED OR BROKEN TODAY. SHOULD SEE HIGHS IN THE UPPER
70S TO LOWER 80S AND LOWS TONIGHT IN THE MID 60S.
&&
.SHORT TERM /FRIDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/...
THE UPPER AND MID LEVEL RIDGE IS FORECAST TO BUILD OVER THE
SOUTHEASTERN STATES FRIDAY THROUGH SUNDAY IN RESPONSE TO A
DIGGING VIGOROUS SHORTWAVE THAT CUTS OFF INTO A CLOSED LOW OVER
THE FOUR CORNERS REGION AND MOVES INTO THE SOUTHERN PLAINS BY SUNDAY.
CONTINUED SOUTHERLY LOW LEVEL FLOW CIRCULATING AROUND A WESTERN
ATLANTIC RIDGE WILL KEEP A WARM AND MOIST AIRMASS OVER THE
FORECAST AREA SUPPORTING CONTINUED WELL ABOVE NORMAL TEMPERATURES.
DESPITE THE UPPER RIDGE THINK ENOUGH MOISTURE IN PLACE WILL
SUPPORT ISOLATED DIURNAL SHOWERS AND WILL HOLD ON TO THE SLIGHT
CHANCE POPS.
RECORDS HIGH TEMPERATURES COULD BE TIED OR BROKEN ON CHRISTMAS
DAY. DAYTIME HIGHS WILL RANGE FROM THE MID 70S TO LOWER 80S WITH
NIGHTTIME LOWS IN THE LOW TO MID 60S.
&&
.LONG TERM /SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
MODELS DIVERGE A BIT WITH THE TIMING OF THE DEEP CLOSED LOW
EJECTION OVER THE MIDDLE OF THE COUNTRY AND EVENTUAL FRONTAL
PASSAGE THROUGH THE FORECAST AREA. GFS IS MORE PROGRESSIVE LIFTING
THE UPPER LOW INTO THE MISSISSIPPI VALLEY ON MONDAY THEN
ACCELERATING IT THROUGH THE GREAT LAKES ON TUESDAY WHICH WOULD
BRING INCREASED MOISTURE TRANSPORT AND THE FRONTAL PASSAGE TO THE
AREA LATE MONDAY THROUGH EARLY TUESDAY. THE ECMWF IS A BIT SLOWER
WITH THE UPPER LOW STILL LOCATED OVER OK/TX LATE MONDAY THEN
LIFTING IT NORTHWARD INTO THE UPPER MIDWEST TUESDAY ALONG A
FURTHER WEST TRACK THAN THE GFS. THIS RESULTS IN A SLOWER TIMING
OF THE FRONTAL PASSAGE TUESDAY AFTERNOON AND NIGHT.
HAVE INDICATE HIGH CHANCE TO LIKELY POPS MONDAY INTO MONDAY INTO
TUESDAY. UNCERTAINTY CONTINUES INTO THE MIDDLE OF NEXT WEEK AS
THE FRONTAL BOUNDARY MAY BECOME STALLED OVER OR NEAR THE FORECAST
AREA PROVIDING A FOCUS FOR POSSIBLE PRECIPITATION. TEMPERATURES
WILL REMAIN WELL ABOVE NORMAL THROUGHOUT THE EXTENDED FORECAST
PERIOD.
&&
.AVIATION /09Z THURSDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...
REGIONAL RADAR AND LATEST HIGH RESOLUTION MODELS SUGGEST
MOST RAIN WILL REMAIN TO THE NORTH AND WEST OF OUR TERMINALS
TODAY. CEILINGS FLUCTUATED QUITE A BIT AROUND MIDNIGHT...BUT SEEM
TO HAVE SETTLED DOWN TO AROUND 1K FT OR LOWER. STILL EXPECT A
DIURNAL LOWERING OF FLIGHT CATEGORIES OVERNIGHT...BUT LIMITED
CONFIDENCE ON SPECIFICS. WILL CONTINUE MENTION OF LLWS AS LOW
LEVEL JET CONTINUES. COULD SEE SOME IMPROVEMENT IN CONDITIONS LATE
TODAY...BUT GUIDANCE ONCE AGAIN LOWERS CEILINGS/VSBYS TONIGHT.
EXTENDED AVIATION OUTLOOK...CHANCE OF SHOWERS AND MAINLY LATE
NIGHT AND MORNING RESTRICTIONS THROUGH MONDAY.
&&
.HYDROLOGY...
RIVER FLOOD WARNINGS HAVE BEEN POSTED FOR ALL BUT THREE OF OUR
FORECAST POINTS. WILL NEED TO MONITOR CLOSELY THE CONGAREE RIVER
AT COLUMBIA DUE TO ADDITIONAL MODERATE/HEAVY RAINFALL AT THE UPPER
PORTION OF THE BASIN OF BOTH THE BROAD AND SALUDA RIVERS. WILL
