AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE CHARLESTON SC
1059 AM EDT FRI APR 1 2016

.SYNOPSIS...
A COLD FRONT WILL APPROACH TODAY AND MOVE ACROSS THE REGION LATER
TONIGHT...THEN GRADUALLY MOVE OFFSHORE ON SATURDAY. HIGH PRESSURE
WILL THEN BUILD INTO THE AREA THROUGH EARLY NEXT WEEK. A WEAK COLD
FRONT WILL DROP THROUGH MONDAY NIGHT...FOLLOWED BY A STRONGER COLD
FRONT ON THURSDAY.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...
QUITE A COMPLEX FORECAST FOR TODAY AS MULTIPLE ROUNDS OF CONVECTION
EXPECTED TO IMPACT THE AREA. THE WEATHER PATTERN WILL BE
CHARACTERIZED BY A BROAD LONGWAVE TROUGH ENCOMPASSING THE EASTERN
U.S. WITH POTENT SHORTWAVE ENERGY HELPING TO SEND A COLD FRONT
CURRENTLY LOCATED JUST WEST OF THE CAROLINAS AND GEORGIA TOWARDS
THE AREA.

THE FIRST BATCH OF CONVECTION PROMPTING THE TORNADO WATCH HAS STAYED
RELATIVELY TAME...ALTHOUGH A COUPLE CELLS ACROSS SOUTHEAST GEORGIA
HAS HISTORY OF ROTATION. SPC MESOANALYSIS SHOWS VERY LIMITED
INSTABILITY GIVEN ABUNDANT CLOUD COVER HOWEVER DECENT SHEAR IS
PRESENT. BEST PROBABILITIES FOR SEVERE WEATHER AT THIS POINT WOULD
BE IN THE SOUTHERN TIER OF COUNTIES WHERE CONDITIONS ARE MORE
FAVORABLE. WILL CONTINUE TO MONITOR RADAR AND ENVIRONMENTAL TRENDS
AND REASSESS THE TORNADO WATCH WHICH IS IN EFFECT UNTIL 3 PM.

IMPRESSIVE UPPER DIVERGENCE...VORT ENERGY...AND REMNANT
BOUNDARIES FROM MORNING ACTIVITY SHOULD HELP KICK OFF ANOTHER
ROUND OF CONVECTION LATER THIS AFTERNOON...LIKELY DEVELOPING
ACROSS SOUTHEAST GEORGIA AND THEN LIFTING INTO SC. 0-6 KM WIND
SHEAR INCREASES TO NEAR 45 KT SO AN ADDITIONAL SEVERE THREAT
CERTAINLY EXISTS. INSTABILITY LOOKS TO STAY FAIRLY MARGINAL.
MOISTURE WILL DEFINITELY BE SUFFICIENT SEEING PWATS OF 1.5-1.6
INCHES WHICH IS NEAR THE CLIMATOLOGICAL MAXIMUM FOR THIS EARLY
APRIL. PRIMARY THREATS WOULD BE ISOLATED TORNADOES AND DAMAGING
WINDS WITH THE BEST TIME FRAME BETWEEN 2PM- 10PM.

TONIGHT...MUCH DEEPER MOISTURE WILL BUILD AHEAD OF THE COLD FRONT
WHICH WILL APPROACH OUR INLAND ZONES TOWARD DAYBREAK. IN ADDITION
0-6KM BULK SHEAR WILL TOP OUT IN THE 50-60 KT RANGE AFTER MIDNIGHT
ALONG WITH STRONG FORCING FOR ASCENT AS VERY FOCUSED JET LEVEL
DIVERGENCE IS PROGGED. WHILE ISOLATED INSTANCES OF SEVERE WEATHER
REMAIN POSSIBLE DURING THE OVERNIGHT...HEAVY RAINFALL APPEAR TO BE
THE MAIN THREAT AS PWATS SOAR TO OVER 1.75 INCHES. WE HAVE ADDED
RAIN HEAVY AT TIMES IN THE FORECAST AND WILL CONTINUE TO HIGHLIGHT
LOCALIZED FLOODING POTENTIAL IN THE HAZARDOUS WEATHER OUTLOOK.

&&

.SHORT TERM /SATURDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...
SATURDAY BEGINS WITH A PRONOUNCED UPPER TROUGH OVER THE EASTERN
UNITED STATES AND A COLD FRONT FAIRLY CLOSE TO THE COAST AT
DAYBREAK. THE BEST UPPER VORTICITY ENERGY WILL BE MOVING OFF THE
COAST BY MID-MORNING...ALLOWING THE FRONT TO CONTINUE MOVING
OFFSHORE FAIRLY QUICKLY. PWATS WILL STILL BE ABOVE 1.7" AT 12Z
SATURDAY BUT WITH THE FRONT SWEEPING OFFSHORE...SIGNIFICANTLY
DRIER AIR WILL BEGIN TO SHIFT IN FROM THE WEST.

THE EXACT TIMING OF THE BACK EDGE OF THE FRONTAL PRECIPITATION IS
QUITE TRICKY DUE TO VARYING MODEL SOLUTIONS. THE ECMWF CONTINUES
TO BE THE FASTEST SOLUTION THOUGH IT DOES MAINTAIN SHOWERS ALONG
THE COAST THROUGH MID TO LATE MORNING BEFORE SHIFTING THE BRUNT OF
THE ACTIVITY OFFSHORE. THE GFS IS A BIT SLOWER AND THE NAM IS BY
FAR THE SLOWEST. THOUGH WE ARE LEANING TOWARD THE FASTER ECMWF
SOLUTION...OUR CONFIDENCE IS NOT HIGH ENOUGH TO COMPLETELY
DISCOUNT THE SLOWER MODELS. IT IS WORTH NOTING THAT THE 00Z RUN OF
BOTH THE ECMWF AND GFS WERE A BIT FASTER THAN THEIR PREVIOUS
RESPECTIVE RUNS. WE TRENDED TOWARD THE FASTER SOLUTION WHICH KEEPS
FAIRLY GOOD COVERAGE OF SHOWERS ACROSS COASTAL AREAS THROUGH MID
MORNING BEFORE TAPERING OFF FROM THE WEST THROUGH THE EARLY TO MID
AFTERNOON. ESSENTIALLY THE BEST COVERAGE OF SHOWERS AND ISOLATED
TSTMS WILL BE THROUGH 10 AM WITH DIMINISHING COVERAGE THEREAFTER.

HIGH TEMPERATURES ARE A CHALLENGE DUE TO POSSIBLE COLD ADVECTION
LATE IN THE DAY AND THE UNCERTAINTY WITH SKY COVER. THERE IS ALSO
THE POTENTIAL FOR WEAK COMPRESSIONAL HEATING AS DOWNSLOPE FLOW
DEVELOPS. WE STUCK WITH HIGHS IN THE MID TO UPPER 70S WHICH IS ON
THE HIGHER SIDE OF THE MODEL SUITE.

ZONAL FLOW ALOFT AND HIGH PRESSURE AT THE SURFACE WILL BRING DRY
WEATHER WITH TEMPS WITHIN A FEW DEGREES OF NORMAL SATURDAY NIGHT
THROUGH MONDAY. LOWS IN THE 40S WITH HIGHS 67-72F ON SUNDAY AND
72-76F ON MONDAY.

&&

.LONG TERM /MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY/...
A DRY BACKDOOR FRONT DROPS THROUGH MONDAY NIGHT BEFORE UPPER
RIDGING PUSHES HIGH PRESSURE DOWN THE EASTERN SEABOARD TUESDAY
THROUGH WEDNESDAY. ANOTHER PRONOUNCED UPPER TROUGH DIGS OVER THE
CENTRAL AND EASTERN UNITED STATES ON THURSDAY...PUSHING A COLD
FRONT THROUGH THE AREA THURSDAY AND THURSDAY NIGHT. THIS WILL BE
OUR NEXT GOOD CHANCE FOR PRECIPITATION. EARLY INDICATIONS ARE THAT
A SIGNIFICANTLY COLDER AIRMASS WILL MOVE IN BEHIND THE FRONT NEXT
FRIDAY WITH HIGHS ONLY IN THE LOW TO MID 60S.

&&

.AVIATION /15Z FRIDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...
VFR CONDITIONS WILL PREVAIL THROUGH MUCH OF THE MORNING AT BOTH
KCHS AND KSAV...BUT THERE IS A SMALL POTENTIAL FOR MVFR/IFR
CEILINGS TO DEVELOP IN THE 12Z-15Z TIME FRAME AT KSAV. TRENDING
TOWARD A TSTM RISK AFTER MIDDAY AT THE TERMINALS WITH THE
POTENTIAL FOR BOUTS OF RAINS AND TSTMS TO CONTINUE THIS EVENING
INTO THE OVERNIGHT. SW FLOW WILL BE GUSTY AT TIMES AS LOW LEVEL
WIND FIELDS REMAIN STOUT. MFVR/IFR CIGS WITH SHOWERS AND TSTMS ARE
EXPECTED LATER TONIGHT AS UPPER DYNAMICS STRENGTHEN AND MOISTURE
DEEPENS. WIDESPREAD MVFR/IFR CIGS AND PERHAPS VSBYS IN HEAVY RAIN
ARE POSSIBLE OVERNIGHT.

EXTENDED AVIATION OUTLOOK...MVFR CEILINGS MAY PERSIST INTO
SATURDAY MORNING. OTHERWISE VFR CONDITIONS EXPECTED.

&&

.MARINE...
THROUGH TONIGHT...SOUTH TO SOUTHWEST FLOW WILL PREVAIL ACROSS THE
COASTAL WATERS AHEAD OF A COLD FRONT. SW WINDS OVERNIGHT SURGED
ALONG COASTAL CHARLESTON COUNTY BUT SHOULD EBB A BIT BY MID
MORNING BUT INCREASE AGAIN THIS AFTERNOON. MOST OF THE SHELF
WATERS WILL AVERAGE 15 KT WITH GUSTS TO 20 KT AT TIMES ALONG THE
LAND/SEA INTERFACE. WE MAINTAINED A SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY FOR OUTER
GEORGIA WATERS UNTIL MID/LATE MORNING MAINLY FOR LINGERING SEAS
NEAR 6 FT CLOSER TO THE GULF STREAM.

TONIGHT THE MAIN CONCERNS WILL BE POTENTIAL FOR HEAVY RAINS AND
THUNDERSTORMS. IN ADDITIONAL POOR VSBYS IN LOW CLOUDS AND RAINFALL
IS ANTICIPATED. SW FLOW WILL CONTINUE IN THE 15 KT RANGE ON AVERAGE
WITH HIGHER GUSTS AT TIMES LIKELY.

SEA FOG...ELEVATED DEW POINTS STREAMING OVER COOLER ATLANTIC SHELF
WATERS MAY RESULT IN AT LEAST PATCHY DENSE SEA FOG TODAY INTO EARLY
SATURDAY AHEAD OF THE COLD FRONT.

SATURDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY...WINDS BECOME WEST ON SATURDAY BEHIND
THE COLD FRONT. WINDS WILL INCREASE AS HIGH AS 15-20 KT ALONG THE
CHARLESTON COUNTY WATERS AND THE OUTER GEORGIA WATERS...AND GUSTS
TO AROUND 25 KT COULD OCCUR OCCASIONALLY. SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY
CONDITIONS WILL LIKELY NOT OCCUR UNTIL SATURDAY AND SATURDAY NIGHT
IN THE WESTERLY FLOW BEHIND THE COLD FRONT. ADVISORIES COULD BE
NEEDED FOR ALL OF THE WATERS FOR A TIME SATURDAY NIGHT...UNTIL
CONDITIONS IMPROVE SUNDAY MORNING AND THEREAFTER. ANOTHER COLD
FRONT WILL DROP THROUGH MONDAY NIGHT WITH NORTH TO NORTHEAST FLOW
DEVELOPING BEHIND IT...BUT ADVISORIES DO NOT APPEAR LIKELY.
