What forecasters said that day
The local office's own words before this wind advisory went out, as it sent them, from the Iowa Environmental Mesonet's archive of National Weather Service text.
NWS Charleston, SC wrote its last area forecast discussion before this wind advisory went out at Mar 11, 3:39 PM EST, 3 hours 13 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Mar 11, 3:39 PM EST, 3 hours 13 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Charleston SC
339 PM EST Fri Mar 11 2022
.SYNOPSIS...
A strong cold front will cross the region tonight into Saturday
morning. Cold high pressure will build into the area through
early next week. Another storm system could affect the area by
mid-week.
&&
.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM SATURDAY MORNING/...
The bulk of the shower activity will remain offshore through the
evening, before a lull in precipitation is forecast. The region
today was under the influence of a cold air damming regime, with
a damming high over northern NC/Tidewater VA area. This surface
high will completely erode this evening, while the low level
flow steadily turns more southerly. A strong cold front will
pass through the forecast area in the 3 to 5 AM time frame,
bringing a line of strong thunderstorms. The 18Z Models are
showing a little more instability than previous runs, depicting
400 - 500 J/kg of MLCAPE. While instability remains rather
meager, there will be plentiful shear, on the order of 40 to 50
knots. Storm Relative Helicity values from 0 to 3 km are rather
impressive as well, with 400 to 500 m2/s2. The forecast
challenge of the overnight will be if there is enough synoptic
forcing with the strong cold front to overcome the lack of
instability. Given the favorable convective parameters and
synoptic forcing, a strong line of thunderstorms is forecast to
move through the forecast area in the early morning hours. As
the cold front approaches the region, frequent gusts into the
25-30 mph range are expected as sunrise approaches.
Lake Winds: As a strong cold front approaches late tonight,
winds across Lake Moultrie will quickly increase. Frequent gusts
into the 25-30 knot range are expected by the predawn hours. A
Lake Wind Advisory has been issued, beginning late tonight.
&&
.SHORT TERM /6 AM SATURDAY MORNING THROUGH MONDAY/...
Saturday: By daybreak, a strong cold front will be moving swiftly
through the area. Along the front, instability will be lacking.
Although, there will be decent shear and helicity which will support
strong to severe thunderstorms. The main threats are damaging winds
and isolated tornadoes. By 7 am, SPC has the South Carolina coast
and slightly inland far east SC outlooked in an Enhanced Risk with
areas to the west lingering in Marginal/Slight Risk. In regards to
timing, the cold front should be mostly offshore by mid morning.
There could be isolated showers behind the front but high pressure
will push drier air into the area by the afternoon and cloud cover
will decrease, leading to a little bit of sunshine. Outside of
precip, winds are going to be quite gusty along and behind the
front. At this time, winds are below Wind Advisory criteria but one
could eventually be needed if winds become stronger than currently
forecast. High temperatures will max out in the upper 50s to mid 60s
and fall in the afternoon.
Saturday night through Monday: Surface high pressure will build into
the region and prevail through much of Monday. Overnight Saturday,
winds will be slightly elevated but will start to decrease. Sunday
will be sunny and then cloud cover will slightly increase on Monday.
The biggest concern of the period is low temperatures. Lows on
Sunday morning will be in the mid 20s to low 30s. A Freeze
Watch/Warning will eventually be needed. Another chilly morning is
then expected on Monday morning, although most areas could remain
above freezing. The bigger issue would be frost formation and have
mention in the gridded forecast for areas away from the coast.
Lake Winds: Gusty winds of 25 to 30 knots are expected across Lake
Moultrie early Saturday through late Saturday. A Lake Wind Advisory
has been raised for this time period.
&&
.LONG TERM /MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY/...
The forecast for mid-week is slightly complicated as the timing and
strength of a potential weak surface low moves out of the Gulf and
closer to the region. Overall though, the area will become more
conducive for showers as high pressure weakens and moves away from
the area. For Tuesday-early Thursday, at least sporadic showers will
be possible. The best chance for thunder will be late Tuesday and
into Wednesday so have maintained slight chance. High pressure will
then return late Thursday. Otherwise, temperatures will warm each
day.
&&
.AVIATION /20Z FRIDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
KCHS/KJZI/KSAV will likely remain IFR through the afternoon and
into the overnight hours. Showers will impact all three of the
terminals on and off through the afternoon. A lull in shower
activity is expected from around 00Z to 05Z, before ramping back
up again ahead of an approaching cold front. This cold front
will bring thunderstorms to all three of the terminals, within
the 10 to 13Z time frame. After the cold front moves through
gusty west to northwesterly winds will persist through the rest
of the TAF period. Frequent gusts in the 25 to 30 mph range can
be expected. Ceilings will likely lift to MVFR post FROPA,
becoming VFR right around 18Z.
Saturday evening through Wednesday: VFR will prevail through at
least Monday. Thereafter, flight restrictions will be possible in
showers and thunderstorms. Overnight Saturday, gusty winds will
continue before dropping off early Sunday.
&&
.MARINE...
Southerly winds will increase significantly and turn to the
southwest ahead of an approaching cold front. Gusts to gale
force are likely early morning hours, and a Gale Warning has
been issued for all coastal waters including the Charleston
Harbor starting at 1 AM. Seas will quickly increase in
response, becoming 4-6 ft and trending upward around sunrise
Saturday. A line of thunderstorms will accompany the cold
front, moving over the coastal waters in the early morning
hours. Strong wind gusts are the primary threat, waterspouts
will also be possible.
Saturday through Wednesday: A strong cold front will move across the
waters on Saturday morning, leading to gusty winds and strong to
severe thunderstorms. There will be a chance for waterspouts in any
convection that forms. Gale Warnings will remain in effect through
late Saturday for the Charleston Harbor then early Sunday for the
nearshore and outer Georgia waters. High pressure will then build in
over the waters on Sunday, leading to better marine conditions.
Although, Small Craft Advisories could be needed due to lingering
elevated seas and winds. By Monday, no marine headlines are expected
through Wednesday.
