AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE CHARLESTON SC
709 AM EST WED FEB 18 2015

.SYNOPSIS...
AN ARCTIC COLD FRONT WILL MOVE THROUGH EARLY THIS EVENING WITH
COLD HIGH PRESSURE THEN BUILDING IN THROUGH FRIDAY. A COASTAL
TROUGH WILL DEVELOP ON SATURDAY...THEN LIFT NORTH ON SUNDAY AHEAD
OF AN APPROACHING COLD FRONT. THE COLD FRONT WILL MOVE THROUGH
SUNDAY NIGHT THEN STALL OFFSHORE AS A WAVE OF LOW PRESSURE TRACKS
ALONG IT EARLY NEXT WEEK.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...
NO SIGNIFICANT CHANGES WITH THE LATEST UPDATE. LINGERING PUDDLES
AND WET SPOTS LEFT OVER FROM RECENT RAINFALL COMBINED WITH
FREEZING TEMPERATURES COULD LEAD TO SOME PATCHY BLACK ICE THROUGH
DAYBREAK. A SPECIAL WEATHER STATEMENT HAS BEEN ISSUED TO ADDRESS
THIS.

TODAY...A STRONG SHORTWAVE TROUGH WILL MOVE THROUGH EARLY THIS
MORNING TAKING THE DEEP MOISTURE WITH IT. LOW-MID LEVEL MOISTURE
WILL DIMINISH THIS MORNING LEADING TO MORE CLEARING ALTHOUGH MORE
CLOUDS WILL MOVE IN FROM THE NORTHWEST AHEAD OF ANOTHER SHORTWAVE.
DOWNSLOPE WEST WINDS WILL DEVELOP AND BECOME BREEZY/GUSTY AS THE
PRESSURE GRADIENT TIGHTENS BETWEEN LOW PRESSURE TO THE NORTH AND
HIGH PRESSURE TO THE WEST. ISALLOBARIC EFFECTS SHOULD CAUSE WINDS
TO GENERALLY BE A BIT GREATER OVER INTERIOR PORTIONS OF SOUTHEAST
GEORGIA INTO ALLENDALE COUNTY IN SC. GUSTS COULD APPROACH ADVISORY
LEVELS /GUSTS NEAR 40 MPH/. TEMPS WILL BE A BIT TRICKY CONSIDERING
THERE WILL BE SOME SUN AND DOWNSLOPE FLOW BUT ALSO LOW- LEVEL
COLD ADVECTION. WE INCREASED HIGHS A BIT FROM THE PREVIOUS
FORECAST INTO THE LOWER TO MID 50S MOST LOCALES BASED ON THE
LATEST MOS GUIDANCE...WARMEST OVER SOUTHEAST GEORGIA WHERE THERE
SHOULD BE MORE SUN.

TONIGHT...AN ARCTIC COLD FRONT LOOKS TO PUSH THROUGH THIS
EVENING. ALTHOUGH GUSTY WINDS WILL DIMINISH SOMEWHAT OVERNIGHT AS
THE PRESSURE GRADIENT AND LOW-LEVEL JET RELAX A BIT...THEY WILL
REMAIN IN THE 10 TO 20 MPH RANGE WITH HIGHER GUSTS THROUGH THE
NIGHT. WITH TEMPS EXPECTED TO PLUNGE INTO THE 20S
EVERYWHERE...PROBABLY JUST ABOVE RECORD LEVELS... WIND CHILLS WILL
LIKELY DROP TO AROUND 15 DEGREES. THIS WILL BE CLOSE TO ADVISORY
LEVELS...ESPECIALLY ALONG THE COAST. THUS...A WIND CHILL ADVISORY
MAY EVENTUALLY BE NEEDED FOR ALL OR PART OF THE FORECAST AREA.

LAKE WINDS...WINDS ON LAKE MOULTRIE WILL GUST TO 25 TO 30 KT LATER
THIS AFTERNOON AND ESPECIALLY TONIGHT AS MUCH COLDER AIR MOVES
INTO THE AREA BEHIND AN ARCTIC COLD FRONT. THUS A LAKE WIND
ADVISORY HAS BEEN ISSUED.

&&

.SHORT TERM /THURSDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/...
A DEEP UPPER LEVEL EAST COAST TROUGH THURSDAY MORNING WILL SHIFT
NORTHEASTWARD AND WEAKEN WITH THE UPPER LEVEL FLOW BECOMING ZONAL
BY SATURDAY. ARCTIC HIGH PRESSURE OVER THE MISSISSIPPI VALLEY
THURSDAY MORNING WILL SHIFT EASTWARD...MOVING OFF THE MID ATLANTIC
COAST FRIDAY NIGHT INTO SATURDAY.

THURSDAY...VERY COLD AIR WILL OVERSPREAD THE AREA WITH 850MB
TEMPERATURES STARTING THE DAY FROM -13 TO -17 AND ONLY CLIMBING A
FEW DEGREES DURING THE DAY. LOW LEVEL MODEL THICKNESSES ONLY SUPPORT
HIGHS IN THE LOWER TO MID 30S...BUT DOWNSLOPE LOW LEVEL FLOW SHOULD
ADD A COUPLE OF DEGREES ONTO THESE VALUES...SO THINK HIGHS WILL
MAINLY BE IN THE MID TO UPPER 30S. AS A RESULT THINK CHANCES TO
BREAK LOW MAXIMUM TEMPERATURES AT ALL THREE CLIMATE SITES LOOK QUITE
GOOD. EVEN WITH ABUNDANT SUNSHINE...GUSTY WINDS WILL MAKE IT FEEL
QUITE COLD...LIKELY AS LOW AS THE TEENS DURING THE MORNING.

THURSDAY NIGHT...THURSDAY NIGHT WILL BE PERHAPS THE COLDEST NIGHT OF
THE YEAR FOR MANY AREAS AS THE CENTER OF THE ARCTIC HIGH MAKES ITS
CLOSEST APPROACH. WINDS WILL BE DIMINISHING AND CLEAR SKIES WILL
PERSIST...THOUGH THE BOUNDARY LAYER WILL PROBABLY NOT DECOUPLE. LOWS
WILL BE IN THE MID TO UPPER TEENS INLAND WITH LOWER 20S COASTAL.
THERE IS A GOOD CHANCE THAT RECORD LOW TEMPERATURES WILL BE BROKEN
AT ALL THREE CLIMATE SITES. GIVEN THE COLDER AMBIENT TEMPS...EVEN
THOUGH WIND SPEEDS WILL BE QUITE A BIT LOWER...LATE NIGHT WIND
CHILLS WILL BE A TAD COLDER THAN THURSDAY MORNING /5-10F INLAND
SOUTH CAROLINA AND 10-15F COASTAL SOUTH CAROLINA AND GEORGIA/. THUS
A WIND CHILL ADVISORY SEEMS INCREASINGLY LIKELY FOR LATE THURSDAY
NIGHT.

FRIDAY...EVEN THOUGH THE ARTIC HIGH BEGINS TO SHIFT OFF THE EAST
COAST...A VERY SLOW RECOVERY IS EXPECTED...ESPECIALLY IN SOUTH
CAROLINA WHERE THE ARCTIC AIR WILL BE A LITTLE MORE FIRMLY
ENTRENCHED. HIGHS IN FAR NORTHERN PORTIONS OF THE COUNTY WARNING
AREA WILL BE SIMILAR TO THOSE OF THURSDAY MAINLY IN THE MID TO UPPER
30S WHILE HIGHS WILL ONLY BE A FEW DEGREES HIGHER FURTHER
SOUTH...MAINLY FROM 40 TO 45. LOOKS LIKE A GOOD CHANCE THAT THE
RECORD LOW MAXIMUM TEMPERATURES AT DOWNTOWN CHARLESTON AND THE
CHARLESTON AIRPORT WILL BE BROKEN.

FRIDAY NIGHT...FURTHER MODIFICATION OF THE AIRMASS AND INCREASING
HIGH LEVEL CLOUDINESS WILL ALLOW FOR LOWS TO BE ALMOST 10 DEGREES
WARMER IN MANY AREAS THAN ON THURSDAY NIGHT.

SATURDAY...A GOOD WARMUP AS SOUTHEAST WINDS DEVELOP AND LOW LEVEL
THICKNESS VALUES RISE AHEAD OF THE NEXT STORM SYSTEM. CLOUDS WILL BE
ON THE INCREASE AND THERE IS A SMALL THREAT FOR A SHOWER MAINLY
ACROSS THE NORTH AS A COASTAL TROUGH DEVELOPS. HIGHS SHOULD RANGE
FROM THE MID TO UPPER 50S NORTH TO THE LOWER 60S SOUTH.

LAKE WINDS...WINDS ON LAKE MOULTRIE COULD REACH LAKE WIND ADVISORY
CRITERIA THURSDAY.

&&

.LONG TERM /SATURDAY NIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY/...
WEST-SOUTHWEST ZONAL LIKE FLOW WILL PREVAIL THROUGH THIS PERIOD
WITH AT LEAST A COUPLE OF UPPER LEVEL DISTURBANCES MOVING BY AND
GIVING OR INCREASING THE RAIN CHANCES ACROSS THE AREA. MODELS IN
GOOD AGREEMENT ON THE BIG PICTURE BUT DIFFER SOME ON THE DETAILS.
SUNDAY WILL BY FAR BE THE WARMEST DAY OF THE PERIOD WITH HIGH FROM
THE MID AND UPPER 60S NORTH AND NEAR THE COAST TO THE LOWER 70S IN
GEORGIA. THERE WILL BE A COOLING TREND MONDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY
WITH HIGHS BELOW NORMAL AGAIN. THERE WILL BE A THREAT FOR SHOWERS
SUNDAY THROUGH TUESDAY NIGHT. THE MODELS HAVE TRENDED WARMER WHEN
PRECIPITATION IS EXPECTED SO FOR THE TIME BEING THERE DOES NOT
APPEAR TO BE ANY THREAT FOR WINTRY PRECIPITATION. IT APPEARS THAT
ANOTHER ARCTIC FRONT WILL MOVE THROUGH THE AREA TOWARDS THE END OF
THE PERIOD...BUT BY THEN ALL OF THE MOISTURE WILL HAVE LIKELY
SHIFTED WELL EAST OF THE AREA.

&&

.AVIATION /12Z WEDNESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/...
VFR CONDITIONS EXPECTED TO PREVAIL THROUGH 12Z THURSDAY AFTER
MVFR CIGS AT KCHS THROUGH ABOUT 13-14Z DUE TO LINGERING LOW-
LEVEL MOISTURE AND LIFT AHEAD OF A STRONG UPPER TROUGH/JET. THE
MAIN ISSUE FOR BOTH TERMINALS WILL BE STRONG AND GUSTY WEST WINDS
THIS AFTERNOON. GUSTS AROUND 30 KT ARE EXPECTED FROM ABOUT
18-23Z...LIKELY STRONGEST AT KSAV. DEPENDING ON HOW MUCH SURFACE
WINDS DIMINISH THIS EVENING THERE COULD BE A PERIOD OF LLWS.

EXTENDED AVIATION OUTLOOK...GUSTY WINDS WILL OCCUR AT THE TERMINALS
ON THURSDAY. MVFR OR LOWER CEILINGS ARE POSSIBLE FRIDAY NIGHT INTO
SATURDAY AS A COASTAL TROUGH DEVELOPS. SUB VFR CONDITIONS WILL BE
POSSIBLE SATURDAY NIGHT AND SUNDAY.

&&

.MARINE...
TODAY AND TONIGHT...CONDITIONS WILL GO DOWNHILL LATER TODAY AS THE
PRESSURE GRADIENT AND LOW-LEVEL JET INTENSIFY OVER THE AREA IN
ASSOCIATION WITH AN ARCTIC COLD FRONT WHICH WILL PUSH THROUGH THIS
EVENING. WINDS SHOULD GUST TO 35-40 KT OFF THE CHARLESTON COUNTY
COAST AND THE GA WATERS BEYOND 20 NM AND A GALE WATCH HAS BEEN
ISSUED FOR THESE AREAS. ELSEWHERE SOLID SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY
CONDITIONS ARE ANTICIPATED...BUT EVEN THERE WE CANNOT RULE OUT A
FEW GALE FORCE GUSTS THIS EVENING AS STRONG PRESSURE RISES OCCUR
ALONG WITH STRONG COLD ADVECTION-INDUCED VERTICAL MIXING OF THE
LOW-LEVEL JET.

THURSDAY THROUGH MONDAY NIGHT...IMPROVING CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED
THURSDAY AND THURSDAY NIGHT AS THE WINDS GRADUALLY DECREASE AND THE
SEAS SLOWLY SUBSIDE. SMALL CRAFT CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED ACROSS MOST
OF THE WATERS AT LEAST UNTIL MID MORNING. FROM FRIDAY INTO AT LEAST
THE FIRST PART OF SATURDAY...TRANQUIL CONDITIONS WILL PREVAIL WITH
FAIRLY LIGHT WINDS AND SEAS MAINLY AOB 3 FEET. WINDS AND SEAS START
TO INCREASE ON SATURDAY AND CONTINUE INTO SUNDAY AHEAD OF AN
APPROACHING COLD FRONT. LATER SATURDAY AND QUITE LIKELY BY
SUNDAY...SMALL CRAFT CONDITIONS WILL ONCE AGAIN DEVELOP ACROSS MANY
AREAS AND LIKELY CONTINUE INTO MONDAY.

&&

.FIRE WEATHER...
BREEZY AND DRY CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED TODAY WITH WINDS AND
RELATIVE HUMIDITY AT OR NEAR CRITICAL LEVELS...ALTHOUGH THE FIRE
DANGER SHOULD BE MINIMAL GIVEN THE RECENT RAINFALL. ON
THURSDAY...CRITICAL RELATIVE HUMIDITY AND WINDS ARE LIKELY AND
THE FIRE DANGER SHOULD BE HIGHER GIVEN THE DRIER FUEL MOISTURES.
