AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE CHARLESTON SC
1233 AM EST FRI JAN 15 2016

.SYNOPSIS...
HIGH PRESSURE WILL SHIFT OFFSHORE TONIGHT. LOW PRESSURE WILL THEN
TRACK THROUGH THE AREA FRIDAY WITH ANOTHER LOW PRESSURE MOVING
OVER OR NEAR THE AREA SATURDAY NIGHT INTO SUNDAY. A COLD FRONT
WILL THEN MOVE THROUGH SUNDAY NIGHT USHERING IN MUCH COLDER
TEMPERATURES FOR EARLY TO MID NEXT WEEK.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM THIS MORNING/...
CYCLOGENESIS IS ONGOING ACROSS THE NORTH-CENTRAL GULF OF MEXICO
EARLY THIS MORNING WITH 1006 HPA LOW PRESSURE NOTED JUST
SOUTHWEST OF THE LOUISIANA BOOT. A COASTAL FRONT IS ALSO SLOWLY
DEVELOPING ALONG THE GEORGIA AND SOUTHERN SOUTH CAROLINA COAST
WITH LIGHT NORTHEAST WINDS STARTING TO MATERIALIZE ALONG THE
BEACHES. RAIN HAS BEEN SLOW TO DEVELOP SO FAR TONIGHT WHICH
MATCHES MESOSCALE DATA NICELY. EXPECT A RAPID RAMP UP ON SHOWER
ACTIVITY CLOSER TO SUNRISE WITH A LARGE AREA OF RAIN LIKELY
APPROACHING THE ALTAMAHA RIVER. TRIMMED POPS BACK ACROSS THE SOUTH
CAROLINA ZONES PER GOING TRENDS. POPS WILL RANGE FROM 20 PERCENT
ALONG THE SAVANNAH RIVER TO AROUND 50 PERCENT ACROSS THE FAR
SOUTHWEST. THIN CI AND A MOSTLY DECOUPLED BOUNDARY LYR IS STILL
PROMOTING THERMAL FALLS A BIT QUICKER THAN EXPECTED. NUDGED LOWS
DOWN ANOTHER 1-2 DEGS AS A RESULT...MAINLY INLAND. THE REST OF
THE FCST IS ON TRACK.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 AM THIS MORNING THROUGH SUNDAY/...
FRIDAY...LOW PRESSURE NEAR THE WESTERN FLORIDA PANHANDLE WILL TRACK
NORTHEAST THROUGH SOUTHEAST GEORGIA/SOUTH CAROLINA WHILE
STRENGTHENING...AND ALSO TRYING TO RE-DEVELOP OFFSHORE NEAR THE GULF
STREAM WHERE BAROCLINICITY IS ENHANCED ALONG AN INVERTED SURFACE
TROUGH. RAIN...HEAVY AT TIMES...WILL BE SPREADING NORTHWARD INTO
SOUTHEAST SOUTH CAROLINA DURING THE MORNING. GIVEN PWATS NEAR 1.5
INCHES AND UPPER JET DIVERGENCE...1-1.5 INCHES LOOKS REASONABLE FOR
MOST AREAS WITH ISOLATED HIGHER AMOUNTS OVER 2 INCHES
POSSIBLE...ESPECIALLY IF ENOUGH INSTABILITY CAN DEVELOP. MINOR
FLOODING OF LOW-LYING AND POOR DRAINAGE AREAS WILL BE
POSSIBLE...ESPECIALLY IN DOWNTOWN CHARLESTON NEAR THE TIME OF HIGH
TIDE WHICH IS AROUND NOON. SOME THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE
POSSIBLE...MAINLY NEAR THE COAST...AND GIVEN THE ENHANCED LOW-LEVEL
HELICITY AND DEEP LAYER SHEAR WE CANNOT COMPLETELY RULE OUT A FEW
STRONG TO POSSIBLY SEVERE STORMS. TEMPERATURES WILL BE GREATLY
DEPENDENT ON THE TRACK OF THE LOW BUT MOST AREAS SHOULD REACH THE
60S...EXCEPT POSSIBLY WELL INLAND. RAIN CHANCES WILL DIMINISH
QUICKLY FROM SOUTH TO NORTH DURING THE LATE AFTERNOON AS THE LOW
PULLS AWAY AND DRIER AIR MOVES IN. LOWS MAINLY MID 40S INLAND AND
CLOSER TO 50 AT THE COAST.

SATURDAY...DRY CONDITIONS EXPECTED WITH TEMPERATURES LIKELY TO BE
NEAR TO POSSIBLY ABOVE NORMAL IN THE 60S. ANOTHER SHOT OF RAIN COMES
POSSIBLY AS EARLY AS LATE SATURDAY NIGHT AS AN UPPER SHORTWAVE
TROUGH APPROACHES FROM THE WEST...LIKELY DEVELOPING A WAVE OF LOW
PRESSURE JUST SOUTHEAST OF THE AREA. CONFIDENCE IS LOW IN HOW THIS
WILL PLAY OUT SO WE DID NOT MAKE MUCH CHANGE TO THIS PORTION OF THE
FORECAST. BEST RAIN CHANCES LIKELY WILL BE ACROSS SOUTHEAST GEORGIA
AND COASTAL SOUTH CAROLINA.

SUNDAY...ANY LINGERING SHOWERS SHOULD END EARLY WITH DRIER AND
COOLER AIR MOVING IN FROM THE WEST. TEMPERATURES LIKELY TO BE
AT OR BELOW NORMAL IN THE 50S.

&&

.LONG TERM /SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY/...
A COLD FRONT WILL PUSH THROUGH THE REGION SUNDAY NIGHT...ALLOWING
COLD AND DRY HIGH PRESSURE EXPANDING OVER THE NORTH CENTRAL UNITED
STATES TO EVENTUALLY SHIFT OVER SOUTHEASTERN UNITED STATES. THIS
AIRMASS WILL ONLY SUPPORT HIGH TEMPS IN THE THE MID/UPPER 40S DURING
PEAK HEATING HOURS MONDAY AND TUESDAY. MONDAY AND TUESDAY NIGHT LOWS
WILL ALSO BE COLDER...IN THE UPPER 20S TO LOW/MID 30S CLOSER TO THE
COAST. BY WEDNESDAY...THE AIRMASS WILL MODIFY AS A LIGHT SOUTHERLY
WIND DEVELOPS AHEAD OF A LARGE AND DEVELOPING LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM
OVER THE CENTRAL UNITED STATES. CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED TO REMAIN
DRY...BUT AFTERNOON TEMPS SHOULD PEAK INTO THE LOW/MID 50S OVER MOST
AREAS. ON THURSDAY...THE WARMING TREND SHOULD CONTINUE AS THE LOW
PRESSURE SYSTEM SHIFTS OVER THE MIDWEST. AFTERNOON HIGH TEMPS
SHOULD APPROACH THE MID/UPPER 50S.

&&

.AVIATION /06Z FRIDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...
CONDITIONS WILL DETERIORATE AT THE TERMINALS THIS MORNING AS LOW
PRESSURE APPROACHES FROM THE SOUTHWEST. LIGHT RAIN WILL INTENSIFY
THROUGH THE MORNING WITH HIGH RESOLUTION DATA SUGGESTING THE
HEAVIEST RAINS WILL OCCUR AT KCHS WITHIN AN AXIS OF ENHANCED
PWATS. EXPECT WIDESPREAD LOW-END MVFR CIGS TO ENCOMPASS BOTH
TERMINALS BY MID-MORNING WITH RAIN REDUCED VSBYS TO 3-4SM. THERE
IS A RISK FOR IFR OR LOWER VSBYS...BUT HIGHEST AT KCHS WHERE
HEAVIER RAINS ARE EXPECTED. LLWS WL BE AN ISSUE AT BOTH TERMINALS
ROUGHLY 14-20Z WHERE 1500 FT WINDS PEAK 40-45 KT. EXPECT IMPROVING
CONDITIONS BY MID AFTERNOON ON AT KSAV AND LATE AFTERNOON INTO
THIS EVENING AT KCHS.

EXTENDED AVIATION OUTLOOK...FLIGHT RESTRICTIONS ARE LIKELY INTO
EARLY SATURDAY AS LOW-LEVEL MOISTURE LINGERS BEHIND DEPARTING LOW
PRESSURE MOVING NORTHEAST AWAY FROM THE AREA. MORE FLIGHT
RESTRICTIONS ARE POSSIBLE SUNDAY...ESPECIALLY AT KSAV...AS ANOTHER
LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM TRACKS OVER OR NEAR THE AREA.

&&

.MARINE...
TONIGHT...THE CENTER OF THE SURFACE HIGH WILL PUSH EASTWARD AND AWAY
FROM THE LOCAL WATERS...ALLOWING PREVAILING WINDS TO BECOME MORE
SOUTHEASTERLY. THEN LATE TONIGHT...AN AREA OF LOW PRESSURE
ORGANIZING OVER THE GULF WILL MOVE TOWARD THE AREA AND ENHANCE THE
GRADIENT A BIT ACROSS THE WATERS WITHIN A SURFACE TROUGH. WINDS
WILL BEGIN TO INCREASE...MAINLY LATE. WINDS IN THE NEARSHORE
WATERS WILL PRIMARILY BE 10-15 KT AT THEIR STRONGEST...AND 15-20
KT OVER THE OUTER WATERS. SEAS WILL BE 1-2 FT MOST OF THE
NIGHT...INCREASING VERY LATE INTO THE 2-4 FT RANGE IN THE OUTER
GEORGIA WATERS.

FRIDAY THROUGH TUESDAY...WINDS/SEAS WILL DETERIORATE
FRIDAY...POSSIBLY SIGNIFICANTLY...AS A LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM TRACKS
FROM THE FLORIDA PANHANDLE NORTHEAST THROUGH SOUTHEAST GEORGIA AND
SOUTHEAST SOUTH CAROLINA. SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY CONDITIONS ARE
EXPECTED BEYOND 20 NM FOR WINDS TO 30 KT AND SEAS TO 9 FT AND OVER
THE SC NEAR SHORE WATERS FOR WINDS NEAR 25 KT AND SEAS UP TO 7 FT.
SOME 35 KT GALE FORCE GUSTS WILL BE POSSIBLE...ESPECIALLY BEYOND 40
NM CLOSER TO THE WARMER GULF STREAM AND BETTER INSTABILITY/MIXING.
HOWEVER...LOW CONFIDENCE IN OCCURRENCE/DURATION PRECLUDES US FROM
ISSUING A GALE WATCH AT THIS TIME.

ANOTHER QUICK-MOVING STORM SYSTEM COULD MOVE CLOSE TO THE AREA LATE
SATURDAY NIGHT INTO SUNDAY FOLLOWED BY A COLD FRONT SUNDAY NIGHT.
ADVISORIES WILL BE POSSIBLE AGAIN SUNDAY INTO MONDAY...ESPECIALLY
FOR OFFSHORE WATERS.

&&

.TIDES/COASTAL FLOODING...
THERE IS A SLIGHT CHANCE TIDES COULD REACH SHALLOW COASTAL
FLOODING THRESHOLDS FRIDAY...ESPECIALLY AROUND CHARLESTON...BUT
THIS WILL BE DEPENDENT ON THE TRACK OF LOW PRESSURE MOVING THROUGH
THE AREA.
