Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Charleston SC
1045 AM EDT Fri May 5 2017

.SYNOPSIS...
A cold front will shift offshore this morning. High pressure will
then prevail across the Gulf into Saturday, with a secondary cold
front to move through Saturday night. High pressure will prevail
early next week, with a back door cold front to approach during the
middle of the week. A cold front could impact the area late in the
week.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...
Today: The cold front has moved off of most of our coast and
cooler and much drier air will infiltrate during the day. Clouds
may tend to clear out a bit behind the front this morning to
the west of I-95 but we expect an extensive stratocu field to
fill in under deep cyclonic flow aloft just under a
strengthening mid level subsidence cap. Breezy to windy
conditions will continue today with the strongest winds during
the afternoon hours across southeast GA and there should be
occasional gusts up to 35 mph at times. It will be cooler with
highs in the 70s all areas.

Tonight: Cold air advection will increase in the wake of a
strong upper vort that will pass the region overnight. Winds
will remain elevated with some clouds remaining at times.
Lows will dip into the upper 40s inland to the lower 50s
along the coast.

Lake Winds: We kept winds below advisory criteria today, but
suspect advisory condition could develop at some point either
this afternoon or overnight as cold air advection increases. An
advisory may be required today.

&&

.SHORT TERM /SATURDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...
Saturday and Saturday night: A highly anomalous low aloft will
spiral over and near Lake Erie and Lake Ontario as deep surface low
pressure pulls north from PA into western NY. A pair of impressive
short waves will rotate around the mid/upper low. The first swings
through early Saturday, accompanied by 500 mb temps around -15 to -
17C, with a second short wave to rotate through at night, bringing
with it not only similar 500 mb temps, but also brings with a
secondary cold front that reinforces the already cooler and drier
air mass. There may be just enough mid level moisture that coincides
with the second short wave and cold pool aloft to maybe produce a
few showers across locations north of I-26 in SC. For now though
with the lack of low level convergence within a deep W-NW flow, we
have no more than 10% chances. The downslope flow and strong May
insolation will still enable temps to reach the mid and upper 70s,
while cold advection at night behind the cold front will allow for
min temps down 50-55F far inland, 56-60F over the coastal corridor.
A strong cyclonic flow around the low in NY state and the associated
deep mixing will contribute to breezy to windy conditions throughout
the daytime hours, as speeds reach as high as 20-30 mph.

Sunday through Monday: The mean mid and upper trough will maintain
its hold over the eastern states, as an abnormally deep mid level
cyclone rotates from near Hudson Bay in Canada, through NY and PA
and then into New England through the period. We're still within the
large cyclonic flow around deep low pressure in eastern Canada that
keeps high pressure locked back to the W-NW and in the Gulf of
Mexico. This keeps us locked within a dry, "cool" and quiet weather
pattern, with temps actually below normal for the time of year.

&&

.LONG TERM /MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY/...
The mid and upper trough over the east early in the week is finally
replaced by ridging for mid to late week. Deep low pressure aloft
pulls off the NE coast and develops a surface low in the NW Atlantic
early in the period, which spirals in the ocean for several days,
and high pressure persists across the Gulf of Mexico. There is
little if any moisture available in this pattern, so little if any
rain chances until maybe late week when a cold front approaches from
the local area. below normal temps early in the period will moderate
during days 5 through 8.

&&

.AVIATION /15Z FRIDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...
VFR through 12Z Saturday. Gusty surface winds will continue
through the day and into the evening hours as a strong vort
rolls across the region. Cold air advection will begin to
diminish late and winds will slowly subside late tonight.

Extended Aviation Outlook: VFR. Breezy/gusty conditions are expected
again Saturday during the daylight hours.

&&

.MARINE...
Showers associated with a cold front are moving offshore and
this will continue the rest of today. Winds will remain strong
and gusty with a bit of ebbing from late morning through early
afternoon. Winds will ramp up again later this afternoon and
especially tonight as a strong upper disturbance moves by. Small
Craft Advisories are in effect for all waters today including
the CHS Harbor. Tonight, we have a Gale Watch for the GA waters
beyond 20 NM as cold air advection and the deep upper trough
create excellent conditions for jetting and surging offshore
flow. Winds could gust to 35-40 KT since surface geostrophic
flow may top 45 KT at times. It certainly could gale at Grays
Reef tonight as well. Seas will remain elevated, 3-5 FT near
shore and up to 7-9 FT out near the Gulf Stream.

Saturday and Saturday Night: The start of the weekend will be
highlighted by solid SCA's all waters, maybe even a Gale Warning for
AMZ374, within a tight cyclonic flow between intense low pressure
near Buffalo, NY and high pressure centered south of New Orleans. A
secondary cold front will cross the waters at night, and although
there is some minor slackening to the pressure pattern ,the
resulting CAA is enough to keep winds elevated. SCA's will likely
still be ongoing for at least part of the night.

Sunday through Monday: Despite high pressure still situated to the
west and in the Gulf of Mexico, the pressure pattern will finally
relax enough for winds and seas to calm down and better boating
conditions will eventually prevail.

Tuesday: While a weak back door cold front may approach, high
pressure looks to be more in control, keeping winds and seas well
below any advisory thresholds.
