Area forecast discussion, Feb 14, 12:59 AM EST, 2 hours 34 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE CHARLESTON SC
1259 AM EST SAT FEB 14 2015
.SYNOPSIS...
HIGH PRESSURE WILL PREVAIL OVERNIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY...BEFORE A
REINFORCING COLD FRONT MOVES THROUGH THE AREA SATURDAY NIGHT. COLD
HIGH PRESSURE WILL PERSIST INTO MONDAY BEFORE A GULF LOW PRESSURE
SYSTEM AND COLD FRONT AFFECT THE AREA TUESDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY.
&&
.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM THIS MORNING/...
SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE WILL CONTINUE TO BUILD INTO THE REGION FROM
THE NORTHERN GULF COAST REGION THROUGH THE REMAINDER OF THE NIGHT.
CALM WINDS AND VERY DRY BOUNDARY LAYER CONDITIONS HAVE LED TO
VERY GOOD RADIATIONAL COOLING...WHICH COULD BE JUST SLIGHTLY
OFFSET BY SOME HIGH LEVEL CLOUDS THAT WILL STREAM ACROSS THE AREA
OVERNIGHT. OVERALL...LOWS WILL BE IN THE MID 20S JUST ABOUT
EVERYWHERE INLAND FROM THE IMMEDIATE COAST...WITH A FEW LOWER 20S
POSSIBLE IN WELL SHELTERED INLAND LOCATIONS.
&&
.SHORT TERM /6 AM THIS MORNING THROUGH MONDAY/...
SATURDAY...A BREEZY SOUTHWEST FLOW WILL DOMINATE THE REGION SATURDAY
AS HIGH PRESSURE SHIFTS SOUTH AND A STRONG ARCTIC COLD FRONT
APPROACHES FROM THE NORTHWEST. WEAK WARM AIR ADVECTION AND MOSTLY
SUNNY SKIES WILL HELP PUSH HIGHS INTO THE UPPER 50S/NEAR 60...WHICH
IS STILL SLIGHTLY BELOW NORMAL FOR MID-FEBRUARY. SOUTHWEST WINDS
OF 15-25 MPH WITH GUSTS 30-35 MPH WILL BE COMMON...BUT BOTH
SUSTAINED WINDS AND WIND GUSTS LOOK TO REMAIN JUST SHY OF WIND
ADVISORY CRITERIA. CRITICAL FIRE WEATHER CONDITIONS ARE LIKELY.
SEE THE FIRE WEATHER SECTION BELOW FOR ADDITIONAL DETAILS.
SATURDAY NIGHT...THE ARCTIC COLD FRONT WILL PUSH RAPIDLY SOUTH
OVERNIGHT...CLEARING THE ALTAMAHA RIVER AFTER 3 AM SUNDAY. IT WILL
BE A DRY COLD FRONTAL PASSAGE WITH LITTLE MOISTURE NOTED THROUGHOUT
MUCH OF THE TROPOSPHERE. ANY SIGNIFICANT LIFT THAT COULD COUNTERACT
THIS IS PROGGED TO REMAIN DISPLACED WELL TO THE NORTH OVER THE MID-
ATLANTIC STATES AND NEW ENGLAND. IT WILL REMAIN FAIRLY BRISK
OVERNIGHT WITH LOWS DROPPING INTO THE UPPER 20S TO LOWER 30S FOR
MOST LOCATIONS...POSSIBLY A BIT WARMER ALONG THE IMMEDIATE GEORGIA
COAST WHERE MEAN TRAJECTORIES WILL REMAIN MOSTLY PARALLEL TO THE
ORIENTATION OF THE COAST ITSELF. WIND CHILLS WILL DROP INTO THE
UPPER TEENS TO LOWER 20S. WIND CHILLS COULD GET CLOSE TO WIND CHILL
ADVISORY CRITERIA FOR THE CHARLESTON METRO AREA...SO THIS WILL NEED
TO BE WATCHED CAREFULLY.
SUNDAY...IT WILL BE DOWN RIGHT COLD WITH 850 HPA TEMPERATURES
DROPPING TO -2 TO -8C. DESPITE FULL SUN...HIGHS WILL STRUGGLE TO
RISE THROUGHOUT THE DAY. MOST AREAS LOOK TO ONLY TOP OUT IN THE
UPPER 30S ACROSS THE CHARLESTON TRI-COUNTY AREA WITH LOWER-MID 40S
ELSEWHERE ACROSS THE AREA...WARMEST SOUTH OF THE I-16 CORRIDOR. THIS
IS ABOUT 20-25 DEGREES BELOW NORMAL. IT WILL NOT BE NEARLY A BREEZY
AS SATURDAY WITH DIMINISHING COLD AIR ADVECTION AND A RELAXING
PRESSURE GRADIENT. QUIET CONDITIONS WILL LINGER INTO SUNDAY NIGHT AS
ARCTIC HIGH PRESSURE BEGINS TO WEDGE DOWN THE CAROLINA PIEDMONT.
LOWS WILL RANGE MID-UPPER 20S EXCEPT TO AROUND 30 SOUTH OF THE I-16
CORRIDOR AND RIGHT ALONG THE LOWER SOUTH CAROLINA COAST. DRY
CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED TO PREVAIL...ALTHOUGH A FEW ENSEMBLE MEMBERS
SPIT OUT A LITTLE QPF CLOSER TO SUNRISE MONDAY ACROSS FAR INTERIOR
SOUTHEAST GEORGIA AS WEAK ISENTROPIC ASSENT/WARM AIR ADVECTION TRIES
TO DEVELOP AHEAD A DEVELOPING AREA OF LOW PRESSURE OVER THE NORTHERN
GULF OF MEXICO. ALTHOUGH UNLIKELY ATTM...SHOULD LIGHT PRECIPITATION
BREAK OUT...IT WOULD LIKELY FALL AS VERY LIGHT FREEZING RAIN GIVEN A
PRONOUNCED WARM LAYER IS NOTED AT 800 HPA.
MONDAY...MONDAY WILL BE A DAY OF TRANSITION AS DEEP LAYER MOISTURE
INCREASES AHEAD OF A SOUTHERN STREAM SHORTWAVE AND LOW PRESSURE OVER
THE NORTHERN GULF OF MEXICO. A MODEST INLAND WEDGE LOOKS TO DEVELOP
AS HIGH PRESSURE WEDGES FARTHER DOWN THE CAROLINA PIEDMONT. THE
SUB- CLOUD LAYER LOOKS TO REMAIN TOO DRY TO SUPPORT MEASURABLE
RAINFALL DURING THE MORNING HOURS...WITH RAIN CHANCES SLOWLY
INCREASING FROM THE SOUTHWEST LATE MONDAY AFTERNOON. THE BEST
CHANCES FOR ANY LIGHT MEASURABLE RAINFALL WILL BE MAINLY ACROSS
FAR INTERIOR SOUTHEAST GEORGIA WHERE SLIGHT CHANCE POPS WILL BE
MAINTAINED. THE MORE SIGNIFICANT RAIN CHANCES WILL HOLD OFF UNTIL
AFTER SUNSET. HIGHS WILL RANGE MID-UPPER 40S INLAND AND NORTH TO
THE LOWER-MID 50S SOUTH...BUT THESE COULD BE TOO WARM...ESPECIALLY
INLAND...IF RAIN DEVELOPS QUICKER THAN EXPECTED AND DIABATIC
PROCESSES TAKE HOLD.
LAKE WINDS...WINDS UP TO 20 KNOTS ARE POSSIBLE ON LAKE MOULTRIE
SATURDAY AHEAD OF AN ARCTIC COLD FRONT. IT IS UNCLEAR EXACTLY HOW
MUCH MIXING WILL OCCUR OVER THE COLD OPEN LAKE WATERS...SO THE
DECISION TO ISSUE A LAKE WIND ADVISORY HAS BEEN DEFERRED TO THE
OVERNIGHT FORECAST CYCLE SO ADDITIONAL MODEL DATA CAN BE ASSESSED.
THE RISK FOR LAKE WINDS WILL BE MORE SIGNIFICANT SATURDAY NIGHT AS
STRONG COLD AIR ADVECTION AND MORE FAVORABLE MIXING PROFILES OCCUR
IN THE WAKE OF AN ARCTIC COLD FRONT.
&&
.LONG TERM /MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY/...
EXPECT A STORMY AND WINTRY PATTERN THIS PERIOD. LOW PRESSURE IS
FORECAST TO TRACK THROUGH SOUTHEAST GEORGIA TUESDAY AND THEN
OFFSHORE TUESDAY NIGHT BRINGING A GOOD SHOT OF RAIN TO THE REGION
/POSSIBLY NEAR 1 INCH/ THROUGH TUESDAY NIGHT...POSSIBLY MORE INTO
WEDNESDAY. SHOULD SEE A GOOD SPREAD IN TEMPS FROM NORTH TO SOUTH
TUESDAY AS THE LOW PASSES BY AND WARMER AIR MOVES IN FROM THE
SOUTH AHEAD OF THE STORM. COLD AIR WILL MOVE IN FROM THE WEST
TUESDAY NIGHT AS THE MOISTURE DEPARTS BUT WILL NEED TO WATCH THIS
CLOSELY AS AGAIN THERE IS A SMALL RISK FOR SOME LIGHT WINTRY
PRECIPITATION...MAINLY INLAND. BREEZY AND COLD CONDITIONS EXPECTED
THROUGH MID WEEK AS A DEEP UPPER TROUGH REMAINS IN PLACE OVER THE
EAST COAST. THE 00Z/13 GFS AND TO SOME EXTENT THE ECMWF INDICATE A
QUICK-MOVING STORM SYSTEM WILL MOVE THROUGH THURSDAY WITH SOME
MOSTLY LIGHT PRECIPITATION...MOST LIKELY IN THE FORM OF A COLD
RAIN...ALTHOUGH SOME NON-LIQUID PRECIPITATION CANNOT COMPLETELY
BE RULED OUT. HIGH PRESSURE SHOULD THEN RETURN FROM THE NORTH
FRIDAY WITH CHILLY TEMPERATURES REMAINING WELL BELOW NORMAL.
&&
.AVIATION /06Z SATURDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
VFR CONDITIONS WILL PREVAIL AT KCHS AND KSAV THROUGH 06Z SUNDAY.
A STRENGTHENING LOW LEVEL JET AHEAD OF AN APPROACHING COLD FRONT
WILL RESULT IN BREEZY CONDITIONS BEGINNING MID-MORNING SATURDAY
AND CONTINUING THROUGH THE END OF THE FORECAST PERIOD...WITH
GUSTS PEAKING UPWARDS OF 30 KT IN THE AFTERNOON.
EXTENDED AVIATION OUTLOOK...VFR THIS WEEKEND. IFR TO MVFR
CONDITIONS ARE LIKELY DUE TO LOW CLOUDS AND RAIN MONDAY NIGHT INTO
TUESDAY AS LOW PRESSURE IMPACTS THE REGION. GUSTY WINDS WILL
AFFECT THE AREA TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY.
&&
.MARINE...
A WEAK PRESSURE GRADIENT WILL TRANSLATE TO WINDS 15 KT OR LESS OVERNIGHT.
W/NW WINDS WILL INCREASE SOMEWHAT AS THE OFFSHORE SURFACE PRESSURE
GRADIENT BEGINS TO TIGHTEN TOWARD DAYBREAK. SEAS WILL RANGE FROM
1-3 FT WITHIN NEARSHORE WATERS TO 3-4 FT BEYOND 20 NM.
SATURDAY...GUSTY SOUTHWEST WINDS WILL BE TEMPERED SOMEWHAT DUE TO
UNFAVORABLE MIXING PROFILES OVER THE COLD ATLANTIC SHELF WATERS.
HOWEVER...MIXING WILL BE A BIT MORE ROBUST IN THE SMALL CHARLESTON
HARBOR WHERE WINDS MAY GUST TO 25 KNOTS FOR MUCH OF THE AFTERNOON
PERIOD. A SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY HAS THEREFORE BEEN ISSUED FOR THE
HARBOR. CONDITIONS WILL CHANGE RAPIDLY OVERNIGHT AS A STRONG ARCTIC
COLD FRONT PUSHES OFFSHORE AND MIXING PROFILES BECOME INCREASINGLY
FAVORABLE FOR DEEP MIXING WITH THE ONSET OF STRONG COLD AIR
ADVECTION. FREQUENT GUSTS TO GALE FORCE LOOK LIKELY FOR THE GEORGIA
OFFSHORE WATERS AND THE OUTER PORTIONS OF THE CHARLESTON COUNTY
NEARSHORE WATERS...SO A GALE WATCH WILL BE ISSUED FOR THESE AREAS
PER COLLABORATION WITH WFO/S JACKSONVILLE AND WILMINGTON. SMALL
CRAFT ADVISORIES WILL LIKELY BE NEEDED FOR THE REMAINING NEARSHORE
WATERS IN LATER FORECAST CYCLES. SEAS LOOK TO BUILD TO 4-7 FT
NEARSHORE WATERS WITH 5-8 FT OFFSHORE WATERS.
SUNDAY...CONDITIONS WILL STEADILY IMPROVE OVER THE WATERS AS COLD
AIR ADVECTION WANES AND HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS SOUTH. WINDS AND SEAS
WILL LIKELY REMAIN ABOVE SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY CRITERIA DURING THE
MORNING HOURS WITH CONDITIONS DROPPING BELOW BY AFTERNOON.
MONDAY AND TUESDAY...NO SIGNIFICANT CONCERNS AGAIN UNTIL LATER
TUESDAY AND ESPECIALLY TUESDAY NIGHT AS DEVELOPING LOW PRESSURE FROM
THE GULF COAST MOVES THROUGH. ONCE AGAIN SMALL CRAFT ADVISORIES ARE
A GOOD BET FOR ALL WATERS DURING THIS TIME...ESPECIALLY NEAR THE
GULF STREAM WHERE GALE FORCE GUSTS ARE POSSIBLE.
&&
.FIRE WEATHER...
A FIRE WEATHER WATCH REMAINS IN EFFECT FOR ALL OF SOUTHEAST SOUTH
CAROLINA AND SOUTHEAST GEORGIA FOR SATURDAY AFTERNOON FROM NOON
UNTIL 6 PM. THE WATCH HAS BEEN COLLABORATED ACROSS MULTIPLE WFO/S
AND FIRE WEATHER AGENCIES. THE COMBINATION OF LOW HUMIDITY AROUND
20 PERCENT...WIND GUSTS IN EXCESS OF 25 MPH AND DRY FUELS WILL
SUPPORT DANGEROUS FIRE WEATHER CONDITIONS WITH ERRATIC WILDFIRE
BEHAVIOR LIKELY WITH ANY FIRES THAT DEVELOP. BURNING IS HIGHLY
DISCOURAGED. A RED FLAG FIRE WEATHER ALERT ALSO REMAINS IN EFFECT
FOR SOUTH CAROLINA FOR THE NEXT FEW DAYS. DRY CONDITIONS WILL
LINGER INTO SUNDAY WITH CONTINUED DRY FUELS...HOWEVER THE LACK OF
A SIGNIFICANT WIND COMPONENT SUGGESTS THE FIRE WEATHER SITUATION
WILL NOT BE AS BAD AS WHAT WILL OCCUR SATURDAY AFTERNOON.
