AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE CHARLESTON SC
420 PM EDT SAT MAR 26 2016

.SYNOPSIS...
A SERIES OF DISTURBANCES WILL CROSS THE AREA THROUGH SUNDAY. A
COLD FRONT WILL APPROACH THE AREA MONDAY THEN PASS OFFSHORE MONDAY
NIGHT. HIGH PRESSURE WILL BUILD IN FOR THE MIDDLE OF NEXT WEEK
BEFORE A STORM SYSTEM AFFECTS THE AREA LATE NEXT WEEK.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM SUNDAY MORNING/...
CONVECTIVE ACTIVITY HAS INCREASED SIGNIFICANTLY THIS AFTERNOON FOR
INLAND SOUTHEAST GEORGIA AS THE SHORTWAVE APPROACHES THE
AREA...BRINGING DPVA WITH IT. MODEST FILTERED SUNLIGHT ACROSS MUCH
OF SOUTHEAST GEORGIA THROUGH MIDDAY ALLOWED TEMPS TO RISE TO NEAR
80 FOR MANY LOCATIONS SOUTH OF THE SAVANNAH RIVER. THIS...COMBINED
WITH DEW POINTS APPROACHING 70...HAS ALLOWED NEARLY 1000 J/KG OF
SURFACE BASED CAPE TO DEVELOP AND A MODEST SEVERE THREAT WILL
CONTINUE INTO THE EARLY EVENING GIVEN THE POTENTIAL FOR
ORGANIZATION IN 35 KT OF 0-6 KM SHEAR. CATEGORICAL POPS HAVE BEEN
FURTHER REFINED IN ORDER TO REPRESENT THE PROGRESSION OF THE
CONVECTIVE CLUSTER.

EXPECT CONVECTIVE STRENGTH TO TREND DOWNWARD THIS EVENING WITH THE
LOSS OF PEAK HEATING...WITH THE REMNANTS OF THE CLUSTER REACHING THE
CHARLESTON TRI-COUNTY AREA AROUND 22Z. WEAK RIDGING ALOFT WILL
MOVE OVER THE AREA LATE THIS EVENING AS THE SHORTWAVE DEPARTS TO
THE NORTHEAST...AND A RELATIVELY QUITE PERIOD WILL ENSUE THROUGH
THE LATE NIGHT HOURS. STILL...P-WATS OVER 1.5 IN/2-3 STANDARD
DEVIATIONS ABOVE NORMAL WILL JUSTIFY KEEPING LOW END CHANCE POPS
IN THE FORECAST THROUGH THE NIGHT WITH THE POTENTIAL OF THE
PASSAGE OF SOME WEAK DISTURBANCES WITHIN THE POWERFUL SUBTROPICAL
JET ALOFT. AMPLE CLOUD COVER WILL INSULATE THE LOW LEVELS
OVERNIGHT AND LOWS WILL DROP ONLY INTO THE MID TO LOWER 60S. LOW
STRATUS WILL BE THE NORM TONIGHT...POSSIBLY BUILDING TO THE
SURFACE AT TIMES EARLY SUNDAY MORNING.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 AM SUNDAY MORNING THROUGH TUESDAY/...
ON SUNDAY...UNSETTLED WEATHER LOOKS TO BE A NEAR CERTAINTY ACROSS
THE REGION WITH A COMPLEX SYNOPTIC SETUP AT THE SURFACE AS A
QUASI-STATIONARY FRONT EXTENDS FROM JUST OFF THE CAROLINAS INTO SOUTH
GEORGIA. VERY DEEP MOISTURE ROOTED IN A SUBTROPICAL TAP EMANATING
FROM THE SOUTH PACIFIC WILL STREAM ACROSS THE GULF OF MEXICO AND
OVER THE FORECAST AREA SUNDAY INTO SUNDAY EVENING. PWATS COULD
APPROACH 2 INCHES LATE SUNDAY ACROSS PARTS OF SOUTH GEORGIA.
NUMEROUS SHORTWAVES ALOFT MOVING ACROSS THE SOUTHEAST U.S. WILL
PASS OVER THE AREA SUNDAY AFTERNOON OR EVENING. AS THIS BAROCLINIC
ZONE STRENGTHENS...MAINLY DYNAMICALLY DRIVEN PRECIP WILL INCREASE
WITH MUCH OF THE CONVECTIVE ELEMENTS PROBABLY REMAINING ELEVATED.
GIVEN THE VERY HIGH MOISTURE VALUES AND PVA ALOFT AT LEAST
NUISANCE FLOODING IS POSSIBLE...WITH WIDESPREAD FLOODING NOT
EXPECTED. OVERALL LACK OF INSTABILITY WILL GREATLY LIMIT THE
SEVERE THREAT. WE OPTED TO WORK THE MENTION OF LOCALLY HEAVY RAIN
AND PONDING WATER IN OUR HAZARDOUS WEATHER OUTLOOK.

POPS CONTINUE SUNDAY NIGHT AS THE SHORTWAVE CROSSES THE AREA.
THICK CLOUD COVER WILL PROVIDE AMPLE INSULATION AND TEMPS WILL BE MILD
AND RATHER STEADY OVERNIGHT. SOME STRATUS BUILD DOWN IS POSSIBLE
BETWEEN SHOWERS GIVEN THE AMPLE MOISTURE IN THE LOW LEVELS...BUT
CONFIDENCE IN VISIBILITY REDUCTIONS REMAINS TOO LOW TO INCLUDE IN
THE FORECAST PRODUCTS.

MONDAY...A STRONG SHORT WAVE WILL MOVE THROUGH THE NE U.S. WHILE
THE MID TO UPPER FLOW ACROSS GEORGIA AND SOUTH CAROLINA BECOMES ZONAL
WITH TIME. EVEN THOUGH A SURFACE COLD FRONT WILL SAG TOWARD THE COAST
DURING THE DAY FROM THE NW...LOW LEVEL FLOW WILL BECOME DOWNSLOPING
AND DEEP MOISTURE WILL BE WELL OFFSHORE BY LATE MORNING. THERE MAY
BE A FEW SHOWERS EARLY MORNING ON MONDAY...BUT THE AFTERNOON HOURS
SHOULD BE CLEARING OUT AND TEMPS WARMING WITH A COMPRESSIONAL
HEATING/DOWNSLOPE FACTOR. WE RAISED TEMPS ON MONDAY INTO THE MID 80S
IN MANY AREAS ALONG AND JUST WEST OF THE U.S. 17 CORRIDOR.

TUESDAY...COOLER SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE CENTERED OVER THE GREAT LAKES
WILL BUILD INTO THE CAROLINAS WHILE A RIDGE WILL BE MOVING OVER
THE MISSISSIPPI VALLEY. NORTHEAST WINDS AT THE SURFACE COMBINED WITH
NORTHWEST WINDS ALOFT WILL USHER IN COOLER TEMPERATURES TO OUR
REGION. DESPITE PLENTY OF SUNSHINE...HIGH TEMPERATURES MAY STILL BE
SLIGHTLY BELOW NORMAL.

&&

.LONG TERM /TUESDAY NIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY/...
DRY HIGH PRESSURE WILL BUILD INTO THE AREA TUESDAY NIGHT AND
WEDNESDAY. TEMPERATURES WILL BE NEAR NORMAL. A WARMING TREND IS
EXPECTED THURSDAY AS THE HIGH MOVES OFFSHORE. A LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM
WILL APPROACH THE SOUTHEASTERN U.S. BY THURSDAY...BRINGING OUR AREA
THE THREAT OF RAIN INTO FRIDAY.

&&

.AVIATION /20Z SATURDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/...
THE FORECAST THROUGH THIS EVENING IS FAIRLY LOW CONFIDENCE DUE TO
THE VOLATILE CEILINGS AND CONVECTIVE INITIATION PATTERN. A
SHORTWAVE PASSING OVERHEAD CONTINUES TO INITIATE CONVECTION INLAND
LATE THIS AFTERNOON...AND WHILE THE MAJORITY OF THE CONVECTIVE
ACTIVITY SHOULD BE PAST KSAV AT THIS POINT THE POSSIBILITY OF
THUNDER WILL CONTINUE AT KCHS THROUGH 0Z. OVERALL...MVFR SHOULD
PERSIST AT KCHS THROUGH THE TAF PERIOD WHILE VFR IS EXPECTED AT
KSAV INTO THE EARLY EVENING. LOW STRATUS COULD DEVELOP OVERNIGHT
AND BUILD DOWN TO THE GROUND AS FOG AT TIMES AS A WARM/MOIST
AIRMASS REMAINS IN PLACE WITH WET GROUNDS. CONDITIONS WILL SHOW
LITTLE IMPROVEMENT AFTER SUNRISE TOMORROW AS A WAVE OF LOW
PRESSURE MOVES ACROSS THE SOUTHEAST.

EXTENDED AVIATION OUTLOOK...PERIODS OF FLIGHT RESTRICTIONS ARE
EXPECTED SUNDAY AFTERNOON INTO MID MORNING ON MONDAY. LOW CLOUDS
WITH IFR OR LOWER CIGS A GOOD BET BENEATH A LOW LEVEL INVERSION
DURING SUNDAY NIGHT.

&&

.MARINE...
THIS EVENING AND TONIGHT...LIGHT SOUTHERLY FLOW BACKGROUND FLOW
WILL CONTINUE THROUGH TONIGHT. SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS PASSING
OVER THE COASTAL WATERS COULD BRING GUSTY WINDS AT TIMES. SEAS
WILL AVERAGE 2-4 FT.

ON SUNDAY A WARM FRONT WILL WAVER ATOP THE CAROLINA WATERS AND WITH
A POOR LOW LEVEL MIXED ENVIRONMENT...WINDS WILL BE 10 KT OR LESS
WITH A 2 TO 3 FT SWELL WAVE. SUNDAY NIGHT INTO MONDAY...SW FLOW WILL
TEND TO RAMP UP BUT SPEEDS MOSTLY IN THE 15 KT RANGE AHEAD OF THE
COLD FRONT. SEAS 2 TO 4 FT...HIGHEST OFFSHORE.

LATER MONDAY NIGHT INTO TUESDAY...WE WILL HAVE TO WATCH FOR
POTENTIAL SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY CONDITIONS DEVELOPING BUT MODELS STILL
NEED TO COME TOGETHER FOR TIMING THE SURGE FROM NORTH TO SOUTH AND
STRENGTH OF PINCHED GRADIENTS. DURING THIS TIME...WINDS AND SEAS WILL
UNDERGO A NOTICEABLE UPTICK.
