Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Charleston SC
1248 PM EST Sat Jan 7 2017

.SYNOPSIS...
A strong low pressure system will move northeast away from the
area today as Arctic high pressure builds in from the west. High
pressure will remain the dominant feature through next week.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...
The back edge of the isolated light precip was passing through
coastal Southeast South Carolina at midday, producing brief
flurries around the Charleston Tri-County area. We cannot rule
out a brief mix-over down to the Savannah River, but for most
the risk for measurable precip has ended.

Strong low level cold air advection underway and temperatures
will continue to fall this morning as the surface low pulls
away to the northeast, and then hold steady through much of the
afternoon. High temperatures had already been reached many
areas as readings fall through the 30s north and into the upper
30s south.

Lake Winds: Strong cold advection will occur across the
relatively warm lake waters. Winds will increase into the 20-25
knots range today with occasional gusts to 30 knots. The Lake
Wind Advisory remains in effect through this evening.

Tonight: Clear skies and strong cold advection will dominate the
forecast. Temperatures will fall quickly after sunset and
north-northwest winds will remain elevated in the 10-15 mph
range for most of the night. This combination of cold
temperatures and elevated winds will result wind chill values
dropping into the mid to upper teens. The threshold for a Wind
Chill Advisory is 15 degrees along the coast, and conditions
could be marginally supportive of an advisory. However, given
that forecast values are only right around the threshold, will
hold off on issuing an advisory with this package. Regardless,
lows will fall into the low to mid 20s and it will be a very
cold night.

&&

.SHORT TERM /SUNDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...
Arctic high pressure will settle over the area on Sunday,
yielding sunny skies but cold temps in the upper 30s to lower
40s. Cold advection will persist Sunday night though wind speeds
will be coming down somewhat. Lows will be in the low to mid
20s. We could be close to Wind Chill Advisory levels across
portions of Charleston County around daybreak Monday. Monday
will remain somewhat chilly as the high remains just north of
the area, though highs should climb into the mid/upper 40s. A
significant warm up is anticipated by Tuesday when the high
shifts offshore and southerly flow develops. Isolated rain
showers are possible over offshore marine areas Monday through
Tuesday due to a weak coastal trough.

&&

.LONG TERM /TUESDAY NIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY/...
A zonal flow aloft will give way to a building ridge late next
week. With the surface high remaining off the Southeast coast,
daytime temps will warm well into the 70s and mainly dry
conditions will prevail.

&&

.AVIATION /18Z SATURDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/...
Both KCHS/KSAV initializing MVFR at 18Z and cigs are likely to
persist until around dusk before skies clear later this evening.
Strong gusty surface winds from the north will persist until
late afternoon. Occasional gusts could near 30 KT at times,
especially at KCHS.

Extended Aviation Outlook: VFR.

&&

.MARINE...
Today: Strong pressure rises and a tight pressure gradient will
behind the low and strong north-northwest winds will persist
over the local waters. Frequent gusts to 35 knots are expected
for the Charleston County waters and the outer Georgia waters,
and a Gale Warning remains in effect. Elsewhere, solid Small
Craft Advisory conditions will prevail through the day, with
frequent gusts to 30 knots across the nearshore waters. Seas
will increase and average 4-6 feet out to 20 nm, and 6-9 feet
beyond.

Tonight: Conditions will remain steady state through the
evening, and then gradually improve a bit through the overnight
as the best cold advection passes and the gradient relaxes
slightly. The Gale Warnings will end at midnight and will need
to be replaced by Small Craft Advisories thereafter. Winds will
come down in the Charleston Harbor after midnight, but will
remain 15-20 knots through the rest of the night.

Small Craft conditions will linger into Sunday over the
nearshore waters and through midday Monday over the offshore GA
waters, mainly due to seas. Thereafter the marine conditions
will improve as high pressure settles over the area.

&&

.CHS WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
GA...None.
SC...Lake Wind Advisory until 8 PM EST this evening for SCZ045.
MARINE...Small Craft Advisory until noon EST Sunday for AMZ352-354.
     Gale Warning until midnight EST tonight for AMZ350-374.
