Area forecast discussion, Nov 10, 10:46 PM EST, 1 hour 36 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Charleston SC
1046 PM EST Thu Nov 10 2022

.SYNOPSIS...
Tropical Cyclone Nicole is expected to impact the area tonight
through Friday. A strong cold front will sweep across the
region Saturday, with cool high pressure building in its wake.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM FRIDAY MORNING/...
Late this evening: Another quick update to expire the Coastal
Flood Advisory for Charleston and coastal Colleton counties.

Nicole is forecast to move northwest into southern GA later
this evening, then slowly north into central GA by late tonight.
Much of the local area has remained in a cold air damming
regime today due to strong high pressure to the north which has
continually been reinforced by precipitation falling into the
wedge. We are now starting to see indications of veering winds
at coastal SC/GA locations. Surface dewpoints have risen into
the lower 70s within approximately 25 miles of the coast. As the
low and mid level wind fields continue to veer this evening,
the coastal front will be forced inland, eroding the wedge and
spreading a southeasterly flow into much of the forecast area.
At that point the precipitation will likely transition from a
more stratiform pattern to convective with discrete bands
rotating in from the Atlantic. Surface-based instability is
forecast to increase above 1,000 J/kg by late this evening
across the eastern half of the area which, combined with
effective SRH of 300-400 m2/s2, will result in a considerable
threat for tornadoes with the convective bands moving onshore. A
Tornado Watch is in effect for coastal GA and far southern SC
including the adjacent coastal waters until 7p. Additional
watches are likely farther north and west through the overnight
hours as the instability expands.

Mesoanalysis shows PWATs of 2-2.1" across much of the area. The
convective pattern will transition from a more widespread
shield of precip to scattered to numerous convective bands.
While widespread flooding rainfall is not anticipated overnight,
many areas could pick up 1-2" of additional rainfall and some
localized flooding is possible where a series of heavy rain
showers moves over the same area in rapid succession.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 AM FRIDAY MORNING THROUGH SUNDAY/...
Friday: Tropical Cyclone Nicole is forecast to be located over
central GA and will be heading northeast towards central SC.
Nicole will continue to accelerate to the northeast as a strong
trough axis (~80 to 100 m height falls) approaches from the
west. Friday morning, the best instability in association with
the surface thetaE advection will be across Charleston County
with 0 - 1 km SRH around 200 m2/s2. These type of values would
support a continued Tornado threat initially (supported by a
slight risk in the SPC day 2 outlook). By late Friday morning,
the dry slot will begin to wrap around into Nicole with a brief
break in the precipitation expected. As this occurs, the PBL
will become more and more mixed with wind gusts picking up to
the 25 to 30 kt range. The latest GFS forecast soundings would
support wind gusts up to 35 kt, while the NAM would indicated
wind gusts more in the 25 to 30 kt range (via momentum transfer
techniques). In these situations, the GFS tends to over mix the
PBL, and therefore have trended slightly below the GFS solution
(and below Wind Advisory criteria). A lake wind advisory has
been issued for Lake Moultrie and is in effect through Friday
evening. Friday afternoon and evening the back edge of Nicole
will cross the zones and quickly move away. High res guidance is
indicating a line of showers and storms Friday afternoon with
the southern wind shift in association with Nicole. General
experience with recurving tropical systems is that the backside
of tropical systems usually is quick to clear. Expect high
temperatures in the mid to upper 70s Friday with dewpoints right
around 70 degrees.

Saturday: The upper level trough axis will be rapidly
approaching from the west Saturday with southwest flow
established across the region. 850 MB temperatures will remain
warm Saturday at 11/12 degrees C with high temperatures again
forecast to reach the upper 70s. PWATs Saturday rapidly fall to
around 1.25". This will make Saturday precipitation free. Late
Saturday evening the cold front will cross the zones with
temperatures and dewpoints falling through Saturday night.
Expect low temperatures Saturday night in the upper 40s to lower
50s.

&&

.LONG TERM /SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY/...
The long term continues to favor below normal heights through
Monday with a recovery in mid-level heights by the middle of
next week. By the end of next week global ensembles again
indicate heights falling below normal. Each deterministic run of
the GFS/ ECMWF does show an above average amount of variability
though, with ensemble MOS guidance running a 3 to 5 SD spread
by the end of the extended.

A fractured frontal zone will exist across the Carolinas Sunday
with the primary cold front already off the coast. The fracture
will likely be visible in the wind field with northerly flow
across NC and northwesterly flow across SC. Sunday afternoon
into evening the fracture zone will push offshore with winds
veering around from the northeast. High temperatures Sunday will
also be much cooler than on Saturday as the 850 MB front clears
the coast and low level thermal profiles collapse. Sunday night
into Monday morning, winds will decouple and temperatures will
quickly fall. Lows Monday morning will likely be near 40 degrees
along the coast, and low to mid 30s for the inland/ rural
areas. The latest deterministic run of the NBM has lows mostly
in the upper 30s to mid 40s, and looking at the PDF reveals a
tailed distribution towards the colder solutions. Given that,
have blended in the NBM 50th percentile to account for the
colder solutions. A freeze watch will likely be needed Monday
morning for the rural areas.

Monday into Tuesday, temperatures will remain well below with
precipitation potentially moving in Tuesday as a wave approaches
from the west. Mostly dry conditions are then expected for
Wednesday and Thursday as the wave exits east. Temperatures will
also likely remain slightly below normal.

&&

.AVIATION /04Z FRIDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...
MVFR ceilings will be prevalent for much of the night, along
with occasional visibility restrictions due to heavy showers.
Ceilings may remain VFR at KJZI for much of the night due to its
proximity to the deeper marine layer that is now moving
onshore. High-res models indicate a large band of showers and
thunderstorms lifting through the Charleston metro area between
06-09Z tonight so we added a TEMPO TSRA to both KCHS and KJZI.

The coverage of showers and isolated tstms should diminish
toward daybreak Friday. Gusty southeast winds will become
southerly during the day Friday. Guidance is nearly unanimous
that MVFR ceilings will prevail through the day Friday at
KCHS/KJZI and that IFR ceilings will develop Friday morning at
KSAV.

Extended Aviation Outlook: Prevailing VFR conditions are
expected to return Saturday.

&&

.MARINE...
All Tropical Storm Warnings have been dropped and replaced with
Small Craft Advisories. Gusty E to SE winds expected through
tonight across the coastal waters due to a tight gradient
between high pressure to the north and Nicole well to the
south.

The other main concern through the overnight will be the
possibility for low-topped supercells and isolated waterspouts.
Conditions are forecast to become increasingly favorable for
rotating cells late this evening and overnight. Additional
Tornado Watches are likely.

Friday through Tuesday: Tropical Cyclone Nicole will continue
to impact the marine waters through Friday as it tracks inland
across the SC/NC upstate into the Mid-Atlantic states. Southerly
winds up to Tropical Storm force could continue through Friday
with Tropical Storm Warnings in place for nearshore and offshore
waters. A small craft advisory is in effect for the Charleston
Harbor. There is a risk for isolated waterspouts Friday, mainly
across the South Carolina waters where tornado parameters are
most favorable. Seas will be 6 to 10 ft in the nearshore waters
Friday and 10 to 12 ft in the outer GA waters. Saturday, seas
will fall below 5 feet. Late Saturday night, a cold front is
forecast to cross the waters veering the winds around from the
northwest and then finally northeast by Sunday. The gradient
will be strong enough to support seas right around 5 ft in the
nearshore waters and 5 to 7 ft in the outer GA waters. Small
Craft Advisories could be needed for the majority of the waters
Monday evening into Tuesday.

High Surf: Breaking waves 5 feet or larger are expected to
impact the beaches until Tropical Cyclone Nicole lifts away from
the immediate area Friday. In addition, areas of beach erosion
will occur, some of which could potentially be significant due
to the large waves for an extended period. A High Surf Advisory
remains in effect along the Southeast SC and Southeast GA
beaches.

&&

.TIDES/COASTAL FLOODING...
Another round of minor coastal flooding will be possible with
the Friday morning high tide along the Charleston and coastal
Colleton county coast. Though winds will be turning to a less
favorable direction, there is just a tremendous amount of water
caught up in the tidal system that tidal anomalies are still
running over 2 ft at Charleston Harbor. The Friday morning high
tide will occur around 9:30-10 am.

&&
