AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE CHARLESTON SC
120 AM EST WED JAN 7 2015

.SYNOPSIS...
A STRONG COLD FRONT WILL PUSH THROUGH THE REGION LATE
TODAY...FOLLOWED BY VERY COLD HIGH PRESSURE TONIGHT THROUGH
FRIDAY. HIGH PRESSURE WILL PREVAIL NORTH OF THE REGION SATURDAY
THROUGH EARLY NEXT WEEK...WHILE A TROUGH OF LOW PRESSURE DEVELOPS
ALONG THE COAST.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM THIS MORNING/...
A BROAD MID AND UPPER LEVEL TROUGH ROTATING AROUND LOW PRESSURE
IN EASTERN CANADA WILL AMPLIFY FURTHER TONIGHT AS AN IMPRESSIVE
SHORT WAVE DIGS THROUGH THE GREAT LAKES AND UPPER MIDWEST. THIS
WILL SEND THE ARCTIC COLD FRONT TOWARD OUR REGION FROM THE NW AS A
MASSIVE 1060-ISH HIGH BUILDS BEHIND THE FRONT OUT OF THE WESTERN
CANADIAN PROVINCES.

OTHER THAN SOME JET STREAM CIRRUS CLOUDS THIS EVENING...SKIES WILL
BE CLEAR TONIGHT AS COLDER AIR FILTERS IN AS THE SYNOPTIC FLOW
VEERS FROM WEST TO NW. THIS WILL LEAF TO LOWS IN THE LOWER-MIDDLE
30S FAR INLAND TO THE UPPER 30S-LOWER 40S CLOSER TO THE INTRA-
COASTAL AND THE BARRIER ISLANDS.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 AM THIS MORNING THROUGH FRIDAY/...
WEDNESDAY...THE ARCTIC FRONT WILL PUSH SOUTHEAST INTO THE REGION
DURING THE AFTERNOON HOURS...REPRESENTING THE LEADING EDGE OF
IMPRESSIVELY STRONG SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE ACROSS THE CENTRAL
UNITED STATES. UPPER LEVEL SHORTWAVE ENERGY WILL DESCEND TOWARD
THE EAST COAST AND HELP DRIVE THE FRONT OFFSHORE BY THE EVENING
HOURS. TEMPERATURES WILL PEAK IN THE LOW TO MID 50S AHEAD OF THE
FRONT BY EARLY AFTERNOON...THE COMBINED RESULT OF DOWNSLOPE FLOW
AND PRE-FRONTAL COMPRESSION WARMING EFFECTS...AS WELL AS SOME
CLOUD COVER ACCOMPANYING THE SHORTWAVE. VEERING WINDS IN THE WAKE
OF THE FRONT WILL QUICKLY INCREASE AND BECOME QUITE BREEZY...AS
THE GRADIENT TIGHTENS ON THE PERIPHERY OF HIGH PRESSURE AND A 30
TO 35 KT LOW LEVEL JET MOVES OVER THE SOUTHEAST STATES. STRONG
COLD ADVECTION WILL INTRODUCE A VERY COLD AND DRY AIR MASS INTO
THE REGION...AND WHEN COMBINED WITH WINDS 15 TO 25 MPH AND GUSTS
UP TO 30 MPH...SUGGESTS WIND CHILL ADVISORIES WILL BECOME
NECESSARY. TEMPERATURES WILL FALL INTO THE UPPER TEENS INLAND TO
THE LOW 20S NEAR THE COAST...WITH WIND CHILL VALUES BETWEEN 5 AND
15 DEGREES FOR MANY LOCATIONS.

THURSDAY...THE CENTER OF SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE WILL GRADUALLY
DESCEND TOWARD THE GULF COAST STATES AND SOUTHEAST REGION...WHILE
UPPER LEVEL FLOW EVENTUALLY BECOMES MORE ZONAL. WIND SPEEDS WILL BE
DIMINISHING AS THE GRADIENT RELAXES...WITH COLD ADVECTION LIKELY
ENDING BY MIDDAY. THE COLD AIR MASS WILL REMAIN IN PLACE DESPITE
THE WANING COLD ADVECTION AND FULL SUNSHINE...AND EXPECT
TEMPERATURES TO BE SUPPRESSED IN THE UPPER 30S FOR MOST LOCATIONS.
THESE HIGH TEMPERATURES WILL BE MORE THAN 20 DEGREES BELOW
SEASONAL NORMALS. NIGHTTIME LOW TEMPERATURES WILL BE THE RESULT OF
RADIATIONAL COOLING RATHER THAN COLD ADVECTION...AS SKIES REMAIN
CLEAR AND WINDS DIMINISH BELOW 5 OR 6 MPH INLAND. WILL ADVERTISE
TEMPERATURES FALLING INTO THE LOW TO MID 20S...WITH WIND CHILL
VALUES IN THE UPPER TEENS TO LOW 20S.

FRIDAY...HIGH PRESSURE WILL WEAKEN AS IT MOVES OFF THE COAST. LOW
LEVEL WINDS BECOME MORE WEST/NORTHWEST AS A RESULT...ALLOWING
TEMPERATURES TO MODERATE. EXPECT HIGH TEMPERATURES TO RANGE FROM
THE UPPER 40S INLAND TO THE LOW 50S SOUTHEAST GEORGIA COAST.

&&

.LONG TERM /FRIDAY NIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY/...
A WEAK COLD FRONT WILL DROP THROUGH FRIDAY NIGHT AS ANOTHER
EXPANSIVE HIGH PRESSURE SYSTEM BUILDS EAST...THEN SHIFTS OVER THE
NORTHEAST STATES LATER IN THE WEEKEND. A PERSISTENT WEDGE PATTERN IS
EXPECTED DURING THE WEEKEND INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK. THE UPPER PATTERN
WILL TREND TOWARD A BROAD LONGWAVE TROUGH WITH A SERIES OF SHORTWAVE
DISTURBANCES MOVING THROUGH THE SOUTHEAST UNITED STATES. A COASTAL
TROUGH SHOULD SETUP SATURDAY OR SATURDAY NIGHT AND PERSIST THROUGH
EARLY NEXT WEEK. THERE CONTINUE TO BE SIGNIFICANT DIFFERENCES BETWEEN
THE GFS AND ECMWF REGARDING MOISTURE AND PRECIPITATION OVER THE WEEKEND.
WE INCREASED POPS A BIT SUNDAY THROUGH MONDAY THOUGH CAPPED VALUES
AT 40 PERCENT GIVEN THE CONSIDERABLE UNCERTAINTY ON TIMING AND MOISTURE.
THERE IS GREATER CONFIDENCE THAT SKIES WILL BE MOSTLY CLOUDY FOR
MOST OF THE PERIOD AND THAT HIGH TEMPS WILL NOT MAKE IT OUT OF THE
50S.

&&

.AVIATION /06Z WEDNESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/...
VFR THROUGH 06Z THURSDAY. GUSTY WINDS WILL DEVELOP AT BOTH TAF
SITES AROUND SUNSET THIS EVENING AS THE ARCTIC COLD FRONT SWINGS
THROUGH.

EXTENDED AVIATION OUTLOOK...VFR CONDITIONS. MAYBE SOME SHOWERS
RETURNING FROM THE ATLANTIC LATE SUNDAY.

&&

.MARINE...
A SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY REMAINS IN EFFECT FOR AMZ374 EARLY THIS
EVENING. MARINE BOUNDARY LAYER INSTABILITY WILL SUPPORT GUSTS TO
25 KT ESPECIALLY BEYOND 40 NM. THESE WINDS WILL BE ACCOMPANIED BY
SEAS AS HIGH AS 5-6 FT. WITHIN THE 0-20 NM WATERS AND CHARLESTON
HARBOR...WEST/NORTHWEST WINDS WILL REMAIN CAPPED AT 20 KNOTS OR
LESS TONIGHT...AND SEAS WILL REMAIN 4 FT OR LESS.

WEDNESDAY...AN ARCTIC COLD FRONT MOVING THROUGH THE MARINE ZONES
WEDNESDAY EVENING WILL ADVECT SIGNIFICANTLY COLDER AIR OVER THE
WATERS...WHILE THE PRESSURE GRADIENT TIGHTENS ON THE PERIPHERY OF
STRONG AND EXPANSIVE HIGH PRESSURE ACROSS THE CENTRAL UNITED
STATES. WEST WINDS WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON WILL SURGE AND THEN VEER
TO THE NORTHWEST IN THE WAKE OF THE FRONT. GUSTS TO 35 KT ARE
POSSIBLE ACROSS ALL MARINE ZONES BEGINNING WEDNESDAY EVENING...WHILE
THE HARBOR COULD EXPERIENCE AT LEAST  HIGH-END SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY
WINDS. HAVE ISSUED A GALE WATCH FOR THE NEARSHORE AND OFFSHORE SC
AND GA WATERS BEGINNING WEDNESDAY EVENING AND CONTINUING INTO
THURSDAY MORNING. SEAS WILL PEAK AROUND 5 TO 8 FT WITHIN 20 NM AND 9
TO 11 FT 20 TO 60 NM.

THURSDAY THROUGH SUNDAY...CONDITIONS WILL STEADILY IMPROVE BY
MIDDAY THURSDAY...AS THE CENTER OF THE SURFACE HIGH APPROACHES THE
SOUTHEAST STATES AND ALLOWS THE PRESSURE GRADIENT AND COLD
ADVECTION TO RELAX. THERE COULD BE A SHORT PERIOD OF SMALL CRAFT
ADVISORY CONDITIONS THROUGH THURSDAY AFTERNOON...BEFORE
WINDS/SEAS FALL BELOW CRITERIA. ANOTHER FRONT WILL DROP THROUGH
THE AREA FRIDAY NIGHT...WITH HIGH PRESSURE BUILDING NORTH OF THE
WATERS SATURDAY THROUGH EARLY NEXT WEEK. A PROLONGED NORTHEAST
GRADIENT IS EXPECTED TO DEVELOP...WITH INCREASING CHANCES FOR
SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY CONDITIONS BY SUNDAY.

&&
