Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Columbia SC
654 AM EDT FRI OCT 7 2016

.SYNOPSIS...
The surface pressure ridge extending into the forecast area from
the north will weaken while an inverted trough remains near the
Georgia and South Carolina coast. Hurricane Matthew is forecast to
move northward off the Georgia coast tonight then move northeast
off the South Carolina coast Saturday before moving farther out to
sea Saturday night. Strong winds and periods of heavy rain is
possible. Cool and dry high pressure will settle over the region
early next week. Please see the latest advisory from the National
Hurricane Center.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 PM THIS EVENING/...
Hurricane Matthew will be moving north-northwest near or over the
east coast of the Florida peninsula today. Easterly wind flow
pattern will help to draw Atlantic moisture inland in advance of
Hurricane Matthew. Regional radar this morning shows scattered
showers moving from to east west into the Midlands and Pee Dee
regions associated with moisture flux into the area and isentropic
lift. Precipitable water values will increase throughout the day
with values around 2.0 inches west to near 2.3 inches east by this
evening. High resolution models show mainly scattered showers
through midday and show increasing coverage from the southeast
this afternoon/evening as rain bands associated with the northern
periphery of Matthew move into the forecast area. Moderate to
heavy rain will be possible. A Flash Flood Watch for a large
portion of the forecast area is in effect. Winds will gradually
increase through the day but will generally be around 15 to 25 mph
with gusts around 25 to 35 mph. The highest winds will be in the
eastern Midlands this afternoon and evening. Cloud cover and
rainfall will promote high temperatures in the mid to upper 70s
this afternoon.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 PM THIS EVENING THROUGH SATURDAY NIGHT/...
Strong easterly flow tonight will bring Atlantic moisture inland in
advance of Hurricane Matthew. The latest NHC forecast has Matthew a
category 3 hurricane off the GA coast tonight, then a category 2
hurricane off the SC coast by Saturday morning. Still expect
rainbands to cross the area tonight into Saturday bringing copious
rainfall amounts. Have indicated categorical pops tonight into
Saturday. Storm total rainfall amounts through Saturday night of 6-
10 inches are possible across the eastern Midlands, 3-6 inches over
the central Midlands and 1-3 inches across the western Midlands.
Flash Flood Watch continues for a large portion of the forecast area
through Saturday night.

In addition to widespread rainfall, strong winds are also forecast
tonight through into Saturday night. Followed the National Hurricane
Center guidance for the wind forecast. Winds of 30 to 35 mph with
gusts up to 45 mph currently possible. Both the GFS and NAM models
indicated boundary layer winds of 40 to 50 knots across the eastern
half of South Carolina. Some of these winds could mix down to the
surface in stronger rainbands. Have expanded the Wind Advisory to
all of the Midlands and most of the CSRA. A high wind watch/warning
may be needed for the eastern Midlands late tonight into Saturday.

Based on the forecast track, the forecast area will not get into
the right-front quadrant of the storm and there should be little
or no surface-based instability because of cloudiness and the
lingering effects of the cool wedge of air that has overspread the
area. Therefore, there is a diminished tornado threat.

Matthew should be pushing eastward and out to sea Saturday night,
and have indicated decreasing pops and winds through that period.

Expect lows temperatures tonight to range from the upper 60s west to
lower 70s east.  Highs Saturday should be slightly below normal...
in the mid 70s to lower 80s. Cooler reading in the lower 60s are
forecast Saturday night.

&&

.LONG TERM /SUNDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/...
Should see a drying trend Sunday with dry weather lingering into
Thursday. Dry high pressure will likely dominate at least through the
early part of the medium-range period. The models support pops 20
percent or less through the period. Temperatures should continue to
be on the cool side of climatology. May see a little bit of a warm
up by the middle of next week.

&&

.AVIATION /12Z FRIDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...
High pressure ridging down the eastern seaboard, combined with
the offshore trough, and circulation associated with Hurricane
Matthew located off the east coast of the Florida peninsula,
providing a continued NE low level wind. Widespread IFR/MVFR CIGS
in place across the forecast area this morning. Confidence in
diurnal ceiling improvement is low but have indicated a return to
MVFR by midday. Increasing low level moisture flux/isentropic lift
is supporting some showers this morning. More significant rain
bands, associated with the northern periphery of Matthew, are
expected to affect the area late this afternoon. Rain may be
moderate to heavy at times which will likely result in visibility
restrictions. Ceilings also expected to decline to IFR again by
late afternoon. Winds will increase through the period as Matthew
approaches the South Carolina coast.

EXTENDED AVIATION OUTLOOK...Aviation interests are urged to monitor
the latest official forecasts regarding track and intensity of
Hurricane Matthew. Windy conditions, along with heavy rain bands and
associated restrictions, expected to affect our terminals through
Saturday night. It appears that the strongest winds and heaviest
rain/restrictions will occur late tonight through Saturday.
Return to VFR expected Saturday night/Sunday, but breezy
conditions could linger into Sunday.
