Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Charleston SC
834 PM EDT Fri Nov 5 2021
.SYNOPSIS...
A coastal storm will bring unsettled weather to our area
through Saturday night. High pressure will then build into the
region next week.
&&
.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM SATURDAY MORNING/...
Ongoing 00Z KCHS sounding observed strong NE winds below 950 mbs
this evening. These winds will likely strengthen as a coastal
low deepens off the coast of the Southeast U.S. this evening and
overnight. In addition, the sfc pressure gradient between the
coastal low and ridging high pressure over the western Carolinas
should result in gusty NNE winds across the forecast area
tonight. No changes planned for the placement and timing of the
Wind Advisory and Lake Wind Advisory. Temperatures should remain
generally steady tonight, with periods of cooling during
moderate rainfall.
The heaviest rains will likely occur over the coastal waters
and near the immediate coast late tonight and early Saturday
morning. Average rainfall through the night is forecast to be
0.25-0.75 inches, though it's worth noting some probabilistic
guidance such as the HREF indicates there could be higher
amounts especially along the southeast Georgia coast.
&&
.SHORT TERM /6 AM SATURDAY MORNING THROUGH MONDAY/...
Saturday: The mid-levels will consist of a strengthening/amplifying
trough and a closed low within it that'll be moving over the
Southeast. At the surface, strong High pressure over the
northeastern U.S. in the morning will trend offshore with time.
Meanwhile, a strong storm will continue to trend to the northeast
with time, paralleling our coast. The storm is expected to start
moving away from our area overnight. Models still have a deep plume
of moisture on the eastern half of the storm. In fact, PWATs
exceeding 1.5" appear to be right along or just off our coast. These
values are well above normal for this time of year. All of the
models remain in great agreement showing a large area of showers
with this coastal storm. They have come into better agreement
regarding the location and timing of the widespread/heavier showers
and the timing. We don't have the time to break down these details
in this discussion, but the general trend has been wetter. For this
reason, we raised both the POPs and the QPF. The highest QPF remains
along the immediate coast, tapering as one heads inland. The worst
conditions are expected Saturday morning. Winds will be very gusty,
especially along the immediate coast. We have Wind Advisories in
effect for some locations along with a Lake Wind Advisory for
Moultrie. Conditions will improve from southwest to northeast
overnight as the coastal storm moves away and high pressure starts
to build from the west. It's entirely reasonable our GA counties
could be rain-free by daybreak Sunday. Finally, due to all the rain
and north to northeast winds, high temperatures will be well below
normal.
Sunday and Monday: The mid-level trough and its closed low will
slowly move off the coast. The coastal storm will be moving away
from our area Sunday, followed by high pressure building from the
west. The high should settle over the Southeast by Monday. There
could be some remnant showers over our SC counties Sunday morning.
But these will quickly dissipate and move away by Sunday afternoon
as drier air moves into the area. Dry conditions are then anticipate
Sunday night into Monday. Gusty N to NW winds Sunday afternoon will
keep high temperatures well below normal. Low temperatures Sunday
night will also be well below normal due to northwest winds in a
cold air mass. High temperatures are expected to warm up on Monday,
being just a few degrees below normal.
&&
.LONG TERM /MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY/...
High pressure will bring dry weather and warmer daytime temperatures
to our area through Thursday. A cold front could bring showers on
Friday.
&&
.AVIATION /00Z SATURDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
The terminals will remain between low pressure developing and
tracking off the coast and high pressure ridging across the
western Carolinas into NE GA through the 0Z TAF period. This
pattern should support NNE winds of 15-20 kts with gusts around
30 kts through much of the TAF period, especially during the
daylight hours Saturday. In addition, winds between 1-2 kft with
strengthen to around 50 kts Saturday morning, remaining through
much of the day. These stronger winds are expected to result in
a period of LLWS over the terminals by 11Z and remain through
the rest of the period. Deep moisture combined with deep forcing
should promote heavier rainfall rates and lower ceilings by
mid-morning Saturday. The TAFs will feature IFR to MVFR flight
conditions developing during the mid to late morning hours and
persisting through the afternoon.
Extended Aviation Outlook: A coastal storm should bring IFR and low-
level wind shear through Saturday night. Gusty NE winds are expected
through Sunday evening.
&&
.MARINE...
Tonight: Hazardous marine conditions are expected over all coastal
waters tonight as a tight pressure gradient remains in place
between high pressure inland and low pressure lifting off the
northeast Florida and Georgia coasts. Gale Warnings are now in
effect for all waters through the night. The worst conditions
are expected after 06z when gusts to 45 kt will be common,
except around 35 kt in the Charleston Harbor. There is also a
potential for storm force gusts over the outer Georgia waters
late tonight, but confidence in duration and frequency were too
low to hoist a Storm Warning at this time. Seas will build to
7-10 ft across the nearshore waters and 10-15 ft beyond.
Saturday: Dangerous marine conditions are expected. Strong High
pressure over the northeastern U.S. in the morning will trend
offshore with time. Meanwhile, a strong storm will continue to trend
to the northeast with time, paralleling our coast. The interaction
between these two synoptic features will generate a steep surface
gradient. Gale force winds are expected across all of the ocean
waters, with gusts exceeding 40 kt beyond 10 nm during the day and
evening. Gusts are expected to reach or exceed 45 kt for the GA
waters beyond 20 nm during the day and evening. There could even be
occasional gusts to 50 kt. But given the infrequency of these gusts,
we opted to hold off on a Storm Warning for this zone. Gale Warnings
remain in place for all of the ocean waters. For the Charleston
Harbor, a Gale Warning is in effect through the evening. Then, near
gale force gusts will persist during the overnight hours for the
harbor. As for seas, very steep, short-period wind waves are
expected. Seas are expected to exceed 10 ft beyond 10 nm and reach
near 15 ft across the GA waters beyond 20 nm. Winds and waves will
start to lower late at night as the low moves away.
Sunday: The coastal low will gradually move away to the northeast.
Meanwhile, high pressure will build from the west. This will cause
winds and seas to trend lower across the waters.
The remaining Gale Warnings should expire during this time period,
replaced by Small Craft Advisories due to gusty winds and elevated
seas.
Monday and Tuesday: High pressure will be over the Southeast. Winds
and seas are expected to continue their downward trends, with wind
gusts dropping below 25 kt for all of our ocean waters by late
Monday. However, seas may remain elevated just enough for the GA
waters beyond 20 nm that a Small Craft Advisory could persist there
through Tuesday.

.TIDES/COASTAL FLOODING...
Based on latest tidal departures and guidance, minor flooding is
expected with the high tide this evening (occurring at 9:02 PM
in the Charleston Harbor) along the Charleston and Colleton
county coasts. A Coastal Flood Advisory has been issued.
Locations further south/along the Georgia coast would need a
higher tidal departure to reach minor coastal flooding levels,
so have held off on issuance for now.
A considerable coastal flood event will continue through Sunday
morning due to a combination of high astronomical tides, strong
NNE winds, and low pressure. Minor to moderate coastal flooding
is anticipated with Saturday evening's high tide while major
coastal flooding is expected during the Saturday/Sunday morning
high tides. It still looks like the Saturday morning high tide
will be the highest of the event since the wind direction/speeds
will be most favorable for surge, and a Coastal Flood Watch has
been issued. Models are trending toward a more offshore wind
component by Sunday morning which should start to bring down the
anomalies late Saturday night.
Another important aspect of the forecast will be the extent of
rainfall. If showers occur around/at the time of high tide, any
future or ongoing flooding could be exacerbated. The best chance
for precip will be this evening through Saturday evening.
In addition, large waves and the strong winds will occur in
tandem with the high tides, resulting in erosion along
beachfront locations.
High Surf: Breakers over 5 feet are expected late tonight into
Saturday in the surf zone. A High Surf Advisory has been issued.
