AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE COLUMBIA SC
233 AM EST SUN JAN 10 2016

.SYNOPSIS...
A WARM FRONT WILL LIFT NORTH THROUGH THE AREA EARLY THIS MORNING
WITH A COLD FRONT CROSSING THE AREA SHORTLY AFTER. HIGH PRESSURE
BUILDING IN FROM THE WEST WILL BRING DRY WEATHER AND BREEZY
CONDITIONS BEHIND THE FRONT TODAY. DRY AND COOL WEATHER WILL
PREVAIL THROUGH MID-WEEK.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TODAY/...
EARLY THIS MORNING...LOW PRESSURE OVER THE OHIO VALLEY WILL
CONTINUE TO PUSH NORTHEASTWARD WHICH WILL LIFT A WARM FRONT
NORTHWARD THROUGH THE AREA AND THEN DRAG A COLD FRONT ACROSS THE
AREA. MOST OF THE SHOWER ACTIVITY IS CURRENTLY CONFINED TO THE
UPSTATE OF SOUTH CAROLINA. EXPECT SHOWERS TO DIMINISH AS THE FRONT
MOVES THROUGH THE FORECAST AREA TOWARD DAYBREAK. WITH THE WARM
FRONT LIFTING NORTH...EXPECT TEMPERATURES TO SLIGHTLY RISE TOWARD
DAYBREAK.

TODAY...CLOUD COVER WILL DIMINISH THIS MORNING BEHIND THE FRONT
AS DRY HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS IN FROM THE WEST. BREEZY CONDITIONS
ARE EXPECTED WITH A TIGHT PRESSURE GRADIENT OVER THE AREA.
SUSTAINED WINDS FROM 15 TO 20 MPH WITH GUSTS UP TO 25 MPH AT
TIMES. DESPITE LAKE TEMPERATURES WHICH HAVE COOLED SOME OVER THE
PAST WEEK...STILL EXPECT SLIGHTLY ENHANCED SPEEDS OVER LAKES
WHICH SHOULD MEET LAKE WIND ADVISORY. THE LAKE WIND ADVISORY WILL
BE ISSUED FROM 9 AM THIS MORNING THROUGH MIDNIGHT. EXPECT A NON-
DIURNAL TEMPERATURE TREND TODAY WITH TEMPERATURES PEAKING EARLIER
THAN NORMAL...BEFORE THICKNESSES FALL BEHIND THE FRONT...IN THE
LOWER 50S WEST TO LOWER 60S EAST.

&&

.SHORT TERM /TONIGHT THROUGH MONDAY/...
ONLY SIGNIFICANT CHANGE IN THE SHORT TERM IS TO CONTINUE THE LAKE
WIND ADVISORY UNTIL MIDNIGHT. LOW-LEVEL WINDS WILL REMAIN STRONG
THIS EVENING...BUT ARE FORECAST TO LESSEN AFTER MIDNIGHT.  LOW
TEMPS TONIGHT WILL BE COOLER THAN NORMAL. CLEAR SKIES AND A DRY
AIRMASS FAVOR COLDER TEMPERATURES...HOWEVER WITH THE SURFACE WINDS
REMAINING UP OVERNIGHT...THIS SHOULD PREVENT IDEAL RADIATIONAL
COOLING CONDITIONS. DRY WEATHER ON MONDAY UNDER HIGH PRESSURE.
WINDS NOT QUITE AS STRONG. AFTERNOON HIGHS SLIGHTLY BELOW NORMAL.

&&

.LONG TERM /MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY/...
ONCE AGAIN...NOT MUCH CHANGE IN THE FORECAST THINKING FOR THE
LONGER TERM PERIOD. MODELS CONTINUE WITH A DRY PATTERN THROUGH
THE MIDDLE TO END OF THE WEEK.  A REINFORCING COLD FRONT IS
EXPECTED TO MOVE THROUGH THE FORECAST AREA MID-WEEK BRINGING
COOLER TEMPS IN FOR WEDNESDAY. TEMPERATURES NEAR OR BELOW NORMAL
DURING THE PERIOD.

BY NEXT WEEKEND...MODELS TO DIVERGE SLIGHTLY.  MODELS HAVE
COME INTO A LITTLE BETTER AGREEMENT ON WHETHER THE LOW MOVING OUT
OF THE GULF LATE IN THE WEEK INTO THE WEEKEND WILL TRACK NORTHWARD
ALONG THE EAST COAST. LOOKS AS IF REGION WILL SEE SOME SORT OF
RAINFALL AT SOME POINT NEXT WEEKEND. STILL ISSUES IN EXACT TIMING
AND TRACK THOUGH OF ANY RAINFALL.

&&

.AVIATION /08Z SUNDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/...
HIGH CONFIDENCE FOR IFR CONDITIONS THROUGH 10/12Z.

A WARM FRONT WILL LIFT NORTH ACROSS THE TAF SITES THIS MORNING
WITH A COLD FRONT CROSSING THE AREA SHORTLY AFTERWARD. MOST OF THE
RAINFALL IS CURRENTLY OVER THE UPSTATE AND HI-RES MODELS SHOW RAIN
CHANCES GENERALLY DECREASING AS THE FRONT PUSHES EAST. IFR VISIBILITIES
SHOULD IMPROVE TO MVFR BY 08/09Z AS WINDS BEGIN TO PICK UP. LOW CLOUDS
WILL DIMINISH AS DRIER AIR MOVES INTO THE AREA BEHIND THE FRONT
WITH CEILINGS RETURNING TO VFR AFTER 14Z. MAIN CONCERN FOR TODAY
WILL BE STRONG/GUSTY WESTERLY WINDS. GENERALLY EXPECT WINDS AROUND
15 TO 20 KNOTS WITH GUSTS UP TO 25 KNOTS. WINDS WILL GRADUALLY
DECREASE TONIGHT TO 10 KNOTS OR LESS.

EXTENDED AVIATION OUTLOOK....NO WIDESPREAD RESTRICTIONS EXPECTED.
