Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Charleston SC
1111 AM EDT Mon Sep 11 2017

...Significant impacts expected from Irma today...

.SYNOPSIS...
Tropical Storm Irma will move northward into southwest Georgia and
Alabama through tonight while weakening. Warmer weather will
return during the middle of the week and persist until the
weekend.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...
No significant changes were made to the previous forecast. Main
change was to update for the expansion of the Tornado Watch
northward through the Charleston metro and in time through 2 pm.
Temperatures likely to only slowly rise inland with quicker
rises near the coast as the coastal front along the coast moves
a bit westward.

Severe Weather: The stable air on the west side of the front
across most of the inland areas is forecast to weaken with time
into the afternoon. Will likely need another Tornado Watch
later this afternoon, at least for areas near the coast as the
coastal front edges a bit farther inland as TS Irma tracks
northwest through southern GA.

Winds: Tropical Storm force winds, especially in gusts, will
continue to impact much of the area through the afternoon. As
spiral rainbands around Irma move in, winds could occasionally
gust as high as 70 mph at times, especially near the coast. We
have already seen an observation from Folly Beach of 72 mph.

Flooding Rainfall: See HYDROLOGY section below.

For more detailed potential impact information refer to our
Hurricane Local Statement /HLS/, Tropical Cyclone Watch/Warning
Statement /TCV/, and/or Hurricane Threats/Impacts Graphics which are
all available from our website at:

http:/weather.gov/chs/tropical_briefing

&&

.SHORT TERM /TUESDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/...
The remnants of Irma are expected to be centered over the TN Valley
Tuesday, moving northward slightly on Wednesday, then finally
shifting into the OH Valley on Thursday. A generally warmer and
somewhat drier pattern is expected for our area. Tuesday will be dry
and mostly sunny. Wednesday will have some moisture increasing from
the south, leading to slight chance POPs. More moisture continues
moving into our area on Thursday, leading to a chance of
showers/thunderstorms. High temperatures will be in the mid 80s
Tuesday, warming into the mid/upper 80s Wednesday and Thursday. Lows
will range from the mid/upper 60s well inland to the lower 70s at
the immediate coast.

&&

.LONG TERM /THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY/...
A trough will be over the Northeastern states Thursday night,
lifting away this weekend. Near or slightly above normal
temperatures are expected with isolated to scattered mainly diurnal
convection. Hurricane Jose is expected to be far offshore this
weekend.

&&

.AVIATION /15Z MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/...
Conditions continue to deteriorate at both terminals. MVFR
conditions at both terminals with periods of IFR conditions
possible this morning. Strong tropical force wind gusts up to
45-50 KT with potential for periods of vsbys of 1 NM or less.
Isolated tornadoes are possible this afternoon somewhere along
the coastal corridor. In the last 6 hours of the 12Z TAF cycle,
cigs and wind speeds will improve while rain chances diminish
from south to north.

Extended Aviation Outlook: Brief flight restrictions are possible in
afternoon/evening showers/thunderstorms, mainly Thursday and Friday.

&&

.MARINE...
Monday through Friday: Tropical storm conditions will prevail
today with some gusts to hurricane force possible mainly south
of the Savannah River leading to very dangerous conditions. Seas
will likely reach near 25 feet out near the Gulf Stream and
peak 14-17 ft in the near shore waters. Small craft should remain
in port!

Wind fields will diminish tonight as the gradient weakens with
Irma losing her grip across southeast GA and southern SC.
Conditions will slowly improve after midnight and we expect
SCA conditions to supplant tropical warnings. Seas will
diminish to 5-8 ft near shore and 8-10 ft well offshore late.

Tuesday through Saturday: Conditions will improve as Irma moves
inland. We'll likely have advisories up for all of the coastal
waters due to seas Tuesday. As seas subside Tuesday night, the
advisories should end for the waters within 20 nm, but continue for
the offshore GA waters into Wednesday morning. No other significant
wind/seas concerns are expected until Friday. By late Friday into
Saturday, seas will begin to build as swells from Hurricane Jose
impact the area.

&&

.HYDROLOGY...
A Flash Flood Watch remains in effect for the entire forecast area
through late tonight.

The best chance for significant flooding will be along the
coast due to the very high tides expected through this evening.
Torrential rainfall is expected to coincide with a particularly
high tide and max storm surge through mid afternoon. Additional
rainfall amounts of 4-6 inches are expected across the forecast
area, with locally higher amounts.

Beyond the immediate flash flood threat, river flooding will become
a concern Tuesday or Wednesday. Some river points could exceed major
flood stage if current QPF numbers verify over the headwaters.

&&

.TIDES/COASTAL FLOODING...
Onshore flow in the tropical storm force range today will
persist as Irma makes the closest approach. These forecast wind
directions/speeds and the surge produced by Irma's approach
will favor significant inundation along our coastal areas, with
the highest tide levels with the midday high tide today.
Increasing swell energy will also enhance the tidal anomalies.
Tides have been running high for a few days already followed the
full moon, so the underlying tides are also somewhat high,
including during low tide.

A Storm Surge Warning is in effect for the entire southeast
Georgia and southeast South Carolina coast, with 4-6 feet of
inundation above ground level in low-lying coastal areas
expected. Such tide levels, when combined with the large
breaking waves, would result in significant coastal flood
damage, beach erosion, and cut off access routes to/from barrier
islands.
