Area forecast discussion, Oct 11, 9:28 AM EDT, 1 hour 3 minutes before

Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Charleston SC
928 AM EDT Thu Oct 11 2018

...TROPICAL STORM CONDITIONS CONTINUE...

.SYNOPSIS...
Tropical Storm Michael will continue to move northeast through
central Georgia and South Carolina today. Cooler and drier high
pressure will then build in through the weekend before a
coastal trough and cold front affect the area early to mid next
week.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 PM THIS EVENING/...
The satellite and radar presentation of Tropical Storm Michael
suggests the system is beginning to transition to an
extratropical cyclone. Tropical storm conditions are ongoing
across much of southern South Carolina and the Georgia zones
bordering the Savannah River. Winds will gradually diminish
through the day as Michael moves into North Carolina. Tropical
Storm Warnings will be discontinued through the day at the
regular and intermediate advisories after coordination with the
National Hurricane Center. May need to replace warnings with a
brief Wind Advisory as mixing profiles post Michael suggest
gusts could reach 35-40 mph at times over Southeast Georgia as
skies clear later this afternoon. This decision will be made
depending on Tropical Storm Warnings are dropped.

Rain chances will diminish through the morning and be mainly
confined to the areas bordering the Midlands and the Charleston
Tri-County area. Adjusted pops down per radar trends. Skies
will gradually clear through the afternoon, but should fill back
in with shallow, stable cumulus, especially over interior
Southeast Georgia. Highs will range from the lower 80s along
the Midlands with upper 80s possible across the far southern
Georgia zones.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 PM THIS EVENING THROUGH SUNDAY/...
Tonight: A cold front will kick Michael off the Delmarva and
Virginia Tidewater, and this allows for cooler and much drier
high pressure to build from the central U.S. We'll experience
temps that will be at their lowest since May, and as skies
become clear or mostly clear, upper 50s and lower 60s will be
common inland from US-17, with the middle 60s closer to the
coast. It will certainly feel more autumnal than it has been so
far, but even these levels are still above average.

Friday through Sunday: Cooler and drier high pressure will
build in behind Michael through the period. The only fly in the
ointment will be a weak low pressure trough early next week
which could lead to a few showers given the moister onshore
flow. Temperatures should still remain at or above normal though
through the period. Saturday morning will be the coolest period
when areas away from the coast will be in the 50s.

&&

.LONG TERM /SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
A weak coastal trough early next week will bring a few showers. A
cold front should then move into the area Monday night and linger
until a stronger cold front pushes through toward the end of the
period with better rain chances, including some thunderstorms.
Temperatures look to remain well above normal until possibly
Thu.

&&

.AVIATION /13Z THURSDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...
KCHS: One last rain band associated with TS Michael with move
through early this morning, with a few lingering showers to
remain nearby into early afternoon. MVFR conditions will prevail
during this time, before VFR conditions return after 19Z and
prevail through the rest of the 12Z TAF cycle. Strong S winds of
30-40 kt will veer to SW at 25-35 kt during the late morning and
afternoon, before winds shift to W at around 10 kt toward
sunset.

KSAV: A few light showers near the airport will end this
morning, and the ongoing MVFR conditions will eventually give
way to VFR weather this afternoon and tonight as moisture
scours out in wake of departing TS Michael. SW winds will
average 25-35 kt this morning, clocking around to W at 20-30 kt
this afternoon, with W or WNW winds finally dropping off to 10
kt or less by sunset.

Extended Aviation Outlook: VFR likely through the weekend with a
better chance of some brief restrictions at times thereafter.

&&

.MARINE...
Today: The large cyclonic circulation around TS Michael will
produce hazardous maritime conditions across all waters today,
and a continuation of the Tropical Storm Warning. South and
southwest winds will be as high as 30 to 40 kt, with stronger
gusts. Seas will be as high as 7 to 11 ft.

Tonight: Once the Tropical Storm Warnings end by late today,
they'll need to be replaced by Small Craft Advisories, as cool
advection develops in the wake of a cold front that moves
through, and high pressure that builds from the west and
northwest.

Friday through Tuesday: Cooler/drier high pressure will build in
from the north late this week with a coastal trough likely
developing early next week ahead of an approaching cold front.
Winds/seas should stay below Advisory levels through the period.

Rip Currents: A high risk for rip currents continues today due
to strong winds and moderate swells.

&&

.TIDES/COASTAL FLOODING...
Coastal Flooding: Cancelled the Coastal Flood Advisory for the
Georgia coast as tides are now going below predicted values with
the developing offshore flow. Advisory continues for the South
Carolina zones with a tide expected to peak 7.1 ft MLLW in
Charleston Harbor before winds shift.

High Surf: Breakers can still reach as high as 5 feet at the
beaches today, so the High Surf Advisory continues for one more
day.
