Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Charleston SC
321 PM EDT Tue Apr 5 2022

.SYNOPSIS...
A potent low pressure system will move through the region
tonight bringing a round of strong thunderstorms to southeast
Georgia and southeast South Carolina. A cold front will
approach the area on Wednesday before pushing offshore
Thursday. Drier and cooler weather is expected to return late
week through early next week.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM WEDNESDAY MORNING/...
Forecast updated to add headlines for Tornado Watch 98.

A potent short-wave trough will make its way eastward across
the southern states over the next few hours as a warm front
lingers across the region. While southerly flow has enhanced our
temperatures today, unexpected stratus has hindered extensive
warming. This could play into how the rest of the afternoon and
evening pans out. Therefore, did lower high temperatures a
couple degrees. Outside of any showers and thunderstorms, winds
will be gusty.

Severe thunderstorms: Out to the west, an organized line
of thunderstorms will race towards the region, before swiftly
moving through. Over the next few hours, the instability
across the region is expected to increase. Surface based
cape will eventually be in the 1500-2000 J/kg range with mixed
layer having similar values. Also, 0-6 km bulk shear will be
around 50 knots. As instability/shear increase, the severe
potential will also increase. At the minimum, damaging winds
will likely impact portions of the region. SPC has the area
outlined in an Enhanced Risk. As of note, the tornado risk is
also elevated. The SPC outlook has a hatched 10 percent
probability for strong tornadoes across the majority of the
region. This aligns with forecast supercell composite and the
line of storms has a history of producing tornadoes/severe
thunderstorms. There is also a chance for large hail. Timing
wise, the current thinking is the main line will be across
northern counties by 5 pm then offshore by late this evening.

Tonight: Thunderstorm complex will move off the Atlantic coast
through mid evening, with generally no precip anticipated for
the balance of the night. Temps cool into the 60s and there may
be some fog around given the afternoon/evening rainfall.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 AM WEDNESDAY MORNING THROUGH FRIDAY/...
The forecast area will be in the warm sector ahead of a cold front
approaching the region on Wednesday. Models hint at a wave of low
pressure developing along the front late in the day or Wednesday
night as it moves to the western Carolinas. Aloft, shortwave energy
is progged to eject out of the Gulf of Mexico and pass across the
region. Deep moisture will once again overspread the area. PWats are
forecast to exceed 1.5 inches, which is well above early April
climatology. Another round of showers and thunderstorms is expected
through the afternoon/evening and then also overnight into early
Thursday morning with activity along/ahead of the front. There will
be instability to work with, but deep layer shear during the day is
nothing particularly interesting. Shear will increase overnight. SPC
Day 2 Outlook currently features the entire area within a Slight
Risk for severe weather. Damaging wind gusts and perhaps an isolated
tornado will be the primary threats. Additional rainfall through
Wednesday night is around an inch on average, with locally higher
amounts possible. High temps will be the warmest of the set,
reaching around 80 or low 80s in most locations. Lows Wednesday
night will be unseasonably mild, mainly in the mid 60s.

Once the front pushes offshore mid-day Thursday, rain chances and
cloud cover will decrease through the remainder of the day. The area
will be precip-free Thursday night. Lows will range from the upper
40s inland to low/mid 50s closer to the coast.

The forecast area will be on the far southern periphery of a large
area of low pressure over the Great Lakes and Northeast on Friday.
Aloft, a highly amplified mid level trough will encompass the
eastern half of the country. Enhanced pressure gradient will lead to
gusty west winds. No other concerns with dry weather expected. It
will be cooler than previous days. Highs will peak in the upper 60s
to around 70.

&&

.LONG TERM /FRIDAY NIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY/...
Mid level trough over the eastern U.S. on Saturday will slide
offshore Saturday night and be replaced by ridging early next week.
At the surface, high pressure will expand into the region as low
pressure moves off the Northeast coast. Outside of breezy conditions
on Saturday, the weather is expected to be quiet and dry.
Temperatures will be cooler than normal through the weekend then on
a warming trend early next week.

&&

.AVIATION /20Z TUESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/...
Unexpected stratus has led to MVFR prevailing conditions at KSAV
throughout the morning. Conditions are not expected to improve
but deteriorate as a line of showers/thunderstorms moves into
the area. Therefore, KSAV, KJZI and KCHS will likely have
periodic flight restrictions throughout the rest of the
afternoon and evening. Then overnight, there could be a brief
time of VFR conditions, before falling back into MVFR by
daybreak. Outside of showers/thunderstorms, winds will be gusty
and low-level wind shear will be possible once showers move out
of the region.

Extended Aviation Outlook: Flight restrictions are possible in
showers/thunderstorms Wednesday through Thursday morning. Gusty
winds possible Friday and Saturday.

&&

.MARINE...
Gustier southeast to southerly winds will develop today ahead
of a complex of thunderstorms that will move through the region
later this afternoon and this evening. Have hoisted small craft
advisories for most coastal waters as a result. Mariners should
also remain alert for likely special marine warnings for severe
storms later this afternoon and this evening.

Gustier winds over land may also necessitate the need for a Lake
Wind Advisory for Lake Moultrie later this morning and through
the afternoon.

Wednesday through Sunday: South to southwest winds will prevail on
Wednesday ahead of an approaching cold front. Speeds and seas will
increase late Wednesday night into Thursday as the front crosses
through the area. Small Craft Advisories will be possible for at
least portions of the coastal waters. There should be some
improvement thereafter, but conditions will remain fairly elevated
through late week. Additional advisories will be possible,
especially on Saturday. The pressure gradient will relax on Sunday
with no additional concerns.

&&

.CHS WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
GA...None.
SC...None.
MARINE...Small Craft Advisory until 1 AM EDT Wednesday for AMZ330-354.
     Small Craft Advisory until 6 AM EDT Wednesday for AMZ350-352-
