Area forecast discussion, Jan 18, 4:04 PM EST, 2 hours 31 minutes before

Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Charleston SC
404 PM EST Sat Jan 18 2020

.SYNOPSIS...
A cold front is expected to move through late tonight into
Sunday morning. In the wake of the front, a cold and dry air
mass will build over the region early next week and will remain
until Thursday. A low pressure system will bring warmer
temperatures and showers beginning Friday.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM SUNDAY MORNING/...
A rather slow-moving cold front will gradually move into the
area overnight. The best upper vorticity energy will move in
late tonight which coincides with the highest PW values around
1.5". Overall the forcing for ascent with this front is
relatively weak given the deep layered flow becoming parallel to
the front as it approaches. We delayed the PoPs a few hours
this evening with mentionable values moving into far western
areas after 10 pm. Highest PoPs are late tonight as the front
moves into our area. Temps are expected to drop 5 or so degrees
after sunset this evening but then rise again as southerly flow
strengthens ahead of the front.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 AM SUNDAY MORNING THROUGH TUESDAY/...
Sunday: As the cold front progresses through the area during the
morning hours, showers are expected to continually decrease until
the afternoon, when cool and dry high pressure moves into the
area. This will help decrease POPs quickly, with a mostly dry
afternoon/evening. Temperatures are expected to be in the low to mid
60s. Throughout the night, temps will trend much cooler with lows in
the high 30s, low 40s.

Monday and Tuesday: As high pressure continues to prevail,
temperatures will be much lower than we have seen in recent days.
While mid 40s to low 50s are expected, temps could actually stay
lower. Into the night, temps will drop into the low 30s along the
coast while inland will see upper 20s. Tuesday will start off quite
cold and warm up to similar temps as Monday, just a little chiller.

It is interesting that a clipper-like system is expected to quickly
ripple over the region on Tuesday, slowly closing off at H5. As the
system passes over the CWA, H85 temperatures cool to -6 to -9C.
Using a blend of MOS, highs on Tuesday are expected to remain 10-13
degrees below normal. The core of the mid and high level moisture is
expected to pass to the south, however, cloud cover is expected to
increase through the daylight hours on Tuesday. By late Tuesday, the
mid-level disturbance will pass over the cold front over the western
Atlantic, resulting in cyclogenesis east of the Gulf Stream. As a
result, a few showers are forecast to develop across the outer GA
waters, temperatures in the upper 40s to low 50s should support all
liquid.

&&

.LONG TERM /TUESDAY NIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY/...
A large area of sfc high pressure will dominate much of the East
Conus with its center shifting across the Midwest midweek, then into
the Northeast by Friday. Aloft, a large trough of low pressure will
begin to shift offshore midweek, setting up a period of mid-lvl
ridging through late week. The pattern will favor cold temps Tuesday
night with lows in the mid/upper 20s away from the coast, before
conditions gradually warm as winds become more directly onshore
through late week. Temps will likely warm into the low/mid 50s
Wednesday, then mid 50s well inland to upper 50s/lower 60s on
Thursday. On Friday, onshore winds should prevail as high pressure
shifts off the East Coast. A developing coastal trough could also
bring some showers onshore. In general, temps should approach the
mid/upper 60s. Chances of precip should increase during the weekend
as low pressure over the Gulf of Mexico merges with a cold front
approaching from the west on Saturday. Scattered to potentially
numerous showers are possible during peak forcing/moisture across
the area Saturday afternoon.

&&

.AVIATION /21Z SATURDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/...
Winds veering around to south this afternoon as a warm front
lifts north. VFR expected through much of the night, then MVFR
ceilings likely at both terminals as the cold front drops into
the area late tonight through Sunday morning. Precipitation
coverage associated with the front looks spotty so we only
included vicinity showers at this time. VFR likely to return
around 18Z Sunday.

Extended Aviation Outlook: VFR conditions are expected at both
terminals Monday through the middle of next week.

&&

.MARINE...
South to southwest winds increasing tonight ahead of a cold
front. Seas will also build. We issued another Small Craft
Advisory for the Charleston nearshore waters for seas edging
back up to 6 ft over outer portions, along with some 25 kt gusts
overnight. An SCA continues for the offshore GA waters for
similar conditions.

Sunday: A cold front will sweep across the waters on Sunday. Winds
are forecast to veer from SW during the morning from the WNW by the
afternoon. Conditions are expected to become gusty, with frequent
gusts to around 25 kts across AMZ350 and 374. Seas across these
zones are forecast to range between 4 to 7 ft. Small Craft
Advisories will remain until 6 PM Sunday.

On Monday, large high pressure centered over the Mid West will build
SE across region. The pressure gradient across the marine zones
should support gusts in the low 20s early Monday morning, decreasing
to 20kts or less during the daylight hours.

Tuesday through Wednesday night: Low pressure will organize and
deepen offshore as a mid-level disturbance arrives from the NW. The
marine zones will remain between the developing low to the east and
high pressure centered to the NW. This pattern will likely yield
Small Craft Advisory conditions outside the CHS Harbor Tuesday
through Wednesday night with gusty NE winds and building seas. On
Thursday, seas above 6 ft may linger across AMZ374 through much of
the day. High pressure will build over the area on Thursday, with
gradually lowering wind gusts and seas.
