AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE COLUMBIA SC
216 AM EST TUE JAN 12 2016
.SYNOPSIS...
HIGH PRESSURE OVER THE DEEP SOUTH WILL RETREAT TO THE WEST
OVERNIGHT. A MOISTURE LIMITED REINFORCING COLD FRONT WILL CROSS
THE AREA LATE TUESDAY WITH DRY AND COOL CONDITIONS PREVAILING
THROUGH THE END OF THE WORK-WEEK. THE CHANCE FOR RAIN WILL RETURN
THIS WEEKEND AS A COMPLEX LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM APPROACHES THE
AREA.
&&
.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...
DRY AIR IN PLACE OVER OUR REGION. UPPER TROUGH JUST TO OUR WEST
WILL SHIFT EAST. STRONG UPPER ENERGY AND SURFACE LOW WILL SWING
FROM THE UPPER MIDWEST/GREAT LAKES INTO THE MID ATLANTIC/NE
US...DRAGGING A DRY COLD FRONT THROUGH OUR REGION TONIGHT. EXPECT
INCREASING WINDS TODAY AHEAD OF THE FRONT...AS THE PRESSURE
GRADIENT TIGHTENS UP. GUIDANCE SUGGESTS WIND GUSTS NEAR 30 KT
POSSIBLE THIS AFTERNOON...CONTINUING OPN WARMER LAKE WATERS
TONIGHT. LAKE WIND ADVISORY ISSUED.
&&
.SHORT TERM /WEDNESDAY THROUGH THURSDAY NIGHT/...
DRY CONDITIONS EXPECTED THROUGH THE SHORT TERM PERIOD. A BROAD
UPPER LEVEL TROUGH WILL SWING THROUGH THE AREA ON
TUESDAY...HOWEVER THE BEST DYNAMICS AND MOISTURE WILL REMAIN WELL
NORTH OF THE REGION. MAIN CONSEQUENCE WILL BE INCREASING WINDS
THROUGH THE DAY. SURFACE WINDS WILL INCREASE FROM THE SOUTHWEST
AHEAD OF AN APPROACHING COLD FRONT. EXPECT GUSTY WINDS BY THE
AFTERNOON. NOT SURE IF SUSTAINED WINDS WILL REACH LAKE WIND
ADVISORY CRITERIA...BUT GUSTS MAY. BUFKIT INDICATES POTENTIAL FOR
GUSTS TO RANGE FROM 25 TO 35 MPH. WINDS WILL GRADUALLY DIMINISH
TUESDAY NIGHT THROUGH THE REMAINDER OF THE SHORT TERM PERIOD AS
HIGH PRESSURE MOVES FROM THE NORTHERN PLAINS TO THE SOUTHEAST BY
THE END OF THE PERIOD. EXPECT TEMPERATURES TO REMAIN NEAR NORMAL
FOR TUESDAY AND THURSDAY BUT BELOW NORMAL FOR WEDNESDAY.
&&
.LONG TERM /FRIDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...
BOTH THE ECMWF/GFS MODELS CONTINUE TO MOVE ONE AREA OF LOW
PRESSURE ACROSS THE MIDWEST AND GREAT LAKES DURING THE PERIOD. BUT
ALSO INDICATE THE POTENTIAL FOR A SECONDARY AREA OF LOW PRESSURE
TO DEVELOP IN THE GULF OF MEXICO BY THE END OF THE WEEK/EARLY
WEEKEND. AN UPPER LEVEL TROUGH MOVING ALONG THE GULF COAST STATES
TOWARD THE END OF THE WEEK WILL ALLOW FOR DEVELOPMENT ALONG A
BAROCLINIC ZONE IN THE GULF. MODELS CONTINUE TO BE INCONSISTENT
WITH THE TRACK OF THE LOW...BUT GENERALLY AGREE ON KEEPING THE
TRACK AND BULK OF THE MOISTURE JUST OFF TO THE SOUTH AND EAST OF
THE CWA. BEST CHANCE FOR RAIN APPEARS TO BE FRIDAY AS A WARM FRONT
PUSHING NORTH THROUGH THE AREA. BIG GIVEN THE UNCERTAINTY OVER THE
WEEKEND...CANNOT RULE OUT A SLIGHT CHANCE/LOW CHANCE OF RAIN
THROUGH THE WEEKEND. MODELS AGREE THAT THINGS WILL DRY OUT BY
MONDAY. THIS SYSTEM WILL ALLOW COLD ARCTIC AIR TO FILTER DOWN INTO
THE REGION OVER THE WEEKEND INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK. EXPECT NEAR
NORMAL TEMPERATURES FRIDAY AND SATURDAY WITH BELOW NORMAL
TEMPERATURES EXPECTED FOR SATURDAY THROUGH MONDAY.
&&
.AVIATION /07Z TUESDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/...
VFR CONDITIONS WILL CONTINUE THROUGH THE 24 HOUR TAF PERIOD.
DRY AIR IN PLACE...ALONG WITH SOME EXPECTED INCREASE IN BOUNDARY
LAYER WIND LATE TONIGHT...WILL PRECLUDE ANY FOG CONCERNS...THOUGH
SOME BRIEF MINOR RESTRICTIONS IN SMOKE/HAZE POSSIBLE IN THE NEAR
TERM AT URBAN LOCATION CUB DUE TO SMOKE FROM FIREPLACES. BREEZY
TO WINDY CONDITIONS EXPECTED TO DEVELOP TODAY AHEAD OF AN
APPROACHING DRY COLD FRONT...THAT WILL COME THROUGH TONIGHT.
EXTENDED AVIATION OUTLOOK....RESTRICTIONS POSSIBLE FRIDAY AS
MOISTURE FROM THE GULF OF MEXICO OVERSPREADS THE REGION.
&&
.FIRE WEATHER...
INCREASED FIRE DANGER POSSIBLE. COMBINATION OF LOW RELATIVE
HUMIDITIES THIS AFTERNOON AND BREEZY CONDITIONS COULD LEAD TO
METEORLOGICAL CRITERIA FOR RED FLAG CONDITIONS POSSIBLY BEING MET.
HOWEVER...FUEL MOISTURES MAY STILL BE ON THE WET SIDE.
&&
