Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Charleston SC
402 PM EDT Thu Apr 18 2019

.SYNOPSIS...
A strong cold front will approach from the west tonight, then
sweep through the region on Friday. Low pressure over the Ohio
Valley will prevail Saturday, followed by high pressure
building into the region Sunday and into early next week.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM FRIDAY MORNING/...
To start, Atlantic moisture pushing onshore has produced
isolated/fast-moving showers mainly centered around the lower
Savannah River. These initial showers should dissipate this
evening. Then, as moisture transport intensifies, additional
showers should develop over the Atlantic and push onshore
tonight, mainly after midnight. Eventually, sufficient
instability should develop to support a few thunderstorms as
well. Latest guidance suggests sufficient coverage to justify
likely/categorical PoPs along at least the Charleston County
starting late tonight. Uncertainty persists regarding the timing
and location of these more widespread showers, and additional
forecast adjustments can be expected. The threat for severe
weather should remain low with this initial round of
thunderstorms. Otherwise, temperatures will only bottom out in
the upper 60s/lower 70s overnight, well above normal for mid-
April.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 AM FRIDAY MORNING THROUGH SUNDAY/...
Friday: The focus of the short term forecast continues to be the
potential severe weather event Friday. Overall, there has been no
change to the overall dynamic setup. A deep trough is still forecast
to dig across the lower Mississippi Valley and close off into an
upper low. This anomalous setup will push impressive forcing into
the forecast area as a strong cold front moves west to east across
the forecast area. The ambient wind field is progged to be quite
impressive, producing strong shear profiles and notable low level
veering. The shear environment continues to look supportive of an
elevated damaging wind threat and isolated tornadoes. As is almost
always the case, the biggest question mark remains instability and
that will likely hinge on the timing of the frontal line of
convection.

History favors a faster timing as the convection tends
to race out ahead of the main front. The ECMWF and GFS continue to
be the faster solutions, while the NAM is a few hours slower. Also
of note, we are now getting into the window of time where the HRRR
and RAP extend into Friday morning. It's a bit concerning that both
the HRRR and RAP are even slower than the NAM, with the RAP showing
the line of thunderstorms still west of our inland zones (Jenkins,
Candler, and Tattnall counties) at 15 UTC. The slower the line is in
getting into the area, the more the atmosphere can destabilize,
further enhancing the severe weather threat. The forecast does slow
arrival down a bit, but still depicts the line knocking on the
doorstep of southeast Georgia around 12 UTC. This would make the
main time period for severe weather for southeast Georgia roughly
from 8am-noon, then noon-4pm for southeast South Carolina. This
timing will likely need adjusting overnight as the line develops and
we can make better assessments of how various models are
initializing. As SPC notes in the Enhanced Risk severe weather
outlook, MLCAPE values of 1000-1500 J/kg are possible. This
instability combined with the ambient shear will favor a linear
convective mode with embedded supercellular elements. The line is
expected move east of the area by mid/late afternoon at the latest,
ending the severe weather threat.

Also of note, the strong wind field will produce gusty winds outside
of thunderstorms on Friday. Confidence has increased to the point
where we have issued a Wind Advisory for Beaufort, Coastal Colleton,
and the entire Tri-County region for frequent gusts to 40-45 mph.
Such winds will also be possible further to the southwest, primarily
along the Georgia coast, but confidence isn't high enough at this
time to include in the advisory. The advisory will run from late
morning through late afternoon.

Friday night: The front will move well to the east and mid/upper
level moisture will strip out of the region. There doesn't appear to
be much support for lingering shower activity so the bulk of the
overnight will be dry. Low temperatures should dip into the low to
mid 50s in most areas.

Saturday through Sunday: The large and deep upper low will encompass
much of the eastern CONUS on Saturday and then start to drift
eastward on Sunday. The surface low will spend much of Saturday
across the Ohio Valley, leading to a breezy and cool day with clouds
filling in from the west and northwest. Cold temperatures aloft,
around -20C at 500 mb, could help produce isolated showers during
the day, but virtually every model keeps shower activity upstream of
the forecast area. We still show a slight chance of showers but this
area has been trimmed to a smaller region. For Sunday, high pressure
will begin building in and skies will clear out. Look for Saturday
highs to range from the low 60s inland to the mid/upper 60s closer
to the coast. Then for Sunday, a nice warmup with highs rising into
the mid and upper 70s.

&&

.LONG TERM /SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY/...
Dry sfc high pressure will prevail across the region Sunday night
through the middle of next week with temps warming each day as a
mid/upper lvl ridge axis shifts over the Southeast United States. In
general, high temps in the the low 80s Monday will warm into the low
80s Tuesday, then low/mid 80s Wednesday. Overnight lows should range
in the low mid 50s away from the coast Sunday night, then mid/upper
50s inland to lower 60s near the coast Monday night, followed by
low/mid 60s Tuesday night.

&&

.AVIATION /19Z THURSDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...
18Z TAFs maintain VFR conditions, although the probability
for MVFR ceilings will increase beginning later tonight,
especially after 6z. S/SE winds will gust to around 20 kt this
afternoon, then winds will slacken just a bit after dark before
strengthening again after 6z. Then, gusts in to the 30-35 knots
range should become common after 12-14z Friday. Also of note,
coverage of showers/thunderstorms late tonight into Friday
morning remains uncertain but should remain focused in the KCHS
vicinity. For now, limited mention to VCSH at KCHS. Finally,
timing the arrival of strong/severe thunderstorms remains
somewhat uncertain. Opted to limit mention to VCTS at KSAV to
close out the 18Z TAF period, with no mention of thunder at
KCHS, but changes can be expected within subsequent TAF
packages.

Extended Aviation Outlook: A line of thunderstorms is expected
to impact the terminals early Friday afternoon. Gusty south
winds are expected outside of thunderstorms Friday afternoon and
evening. VFR conditions should return overnight Friday.

&&

.MARINE...
Tonight: Conditions will deteriorate with time tonight. As a
strong cold front approaches from the west and south winds
strengthen, Small Craft Advisory winds/seas will spread across
the coastal waters, including Charleston Harbor overnight, and
gale force gusts are expected to spread into AMZ374 overnight.
Seas 2-3 feet nearshore and 3-4 feet beyond 20 nm to start will
build to as high as 4-8 feet nearshore waters and 7-9 feet
beyond 20 nm by late tonight.

Friday through Tuesday: A strong cold front and
associated line of thunderstorms is expected to move across the
local waters on Friday. Southerly winds will increase significantly
Friday morning ahead of the cold front and confidence has increased
such that Gale Warnings are now in effect for all waters including
Charleston Harbor. Expect frequent gusts into the 35-40 knot range
beginning in the morning and continuing into the afternoon. The
likelihood of gales will end from west to east as the cold front
moves through and the warnings will come down at various times.
However, all the warnings should be down by late Saturday night.
Seas will increase significantly, and could rise into the 6-10 ft
range out to 20 nm on Friday, and 9-12 ft beyond. Conditions will
improve Friday night, but we will certainly need Small Craft
Advisories through Saturday evening to account for elevated west-
southwesterly winds and seas in an enhanced pressure gradient around
low pressure well to the north. Much more tranquil conditions can be
expected starting Sunday and continuing into early next week as high
pressure builds in across the Southeast.

As thunderstorms move across the waters on Friday, strong damaging
winds and isolated waterspouts will be possible through the day,
first in the Georgia waters and then in the South Carolina waters.

Surf Zone Hazards: Strong winds could produce high surf and a High
Surf Advisory could be needed for breakers of 5 ft or greater. A
Moderate Risk of Rip Currents is in effect Friday at all beaches.

&&

.TIDES/COASTAL FLOODING...
Issued a Coastal Flood Advisory for Charleston/coastal Colleton
county this evening for expected minor salt water flooding
around the time of the high tide. Also, we will remain alert
for the potential for locally heavy rain around the time of the
Friday morning high tide in Charleston and surrounding coastal
communities.

Blow-out tides are possible with Saturday morning's low tide.
