Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Charleston SC
743 PM EDT Sun Mar 22 2026

.WHAT HAS CHANGED...
The Aviation Section has been updated for the 00Z TAF issuance.

&&

.KEY MESSAGES...
- 1) A strong backdoor cold front will move through Monday
  evening, resulting in breezy winds and cooler conditions
  Tuesday.

&&

.DISCUSSION...
KEY MESSAGE 1: A strong backdoor cold front will move through Monday
evening, resulting in breezy winds and cooler conditions
Tuesday.

A strong backdoor cold front will push through the region late
Monday night, bringing breezy winds and noticeably cooler
temperatures in its wake. Following highs in the mid to upper 80s on
Monday, temperatures will fall into the 60s for Tuesday and
Wednesday. Despite the noticeable cool-down, temperatures will align
more closely with seasonal norms.

A line of showers and thunderstorms could develop ahead of the
front, but coverage should remain limited, with rain chances at or
below 25%. Models suggest storms could move in from the northwest
during the evening. As they develop, instability could begin to
weaken, with SBCAPE values peaking near 1200 J/kg before decreasing.
Early on, this moderate instability combined with 35-45 kt of wind
shear could support an isolated strong thunderstorm capable of
producing damaging wind gusts, mainly across the Lowcountry. As the
storms shift south toward Georgia later in the night, weakening
instability could reduce their strength.

Outside of convection, breezy conditions are expected
late Monday night into Tuesday. Most places are likely to see gusts
up to 25 mph. The immediate coast will see the gustiest conditions
with a 50-60% chance of wind gusts exceeding 30 mph.

&&

.AVIATION /00Z MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/...
VFR conditions are expected at CHS/JZI/SAV terminals through
00Z Tuesday. However, gusty west-southwest winds in the 20-25 kt
are likely at all terminals late Monday morning and afternoon
prior to a cold front approaching from the north Monday night.
Showers and/or thunderstorms could eventually be introduced at
the terminals ahead of fropa, starting around 00Z Tuesday.

Extended Aviation Outlook: A backdoor cold front will move through
Monday evening, possibly producing a few showers/thunderstorms at
the terminals. Northeasterly winds could gust up to 25 kt behind the
front on Tuesday.

&&

.MARINE...
Tonight into early Monday: High pressure should generally
support southwest winds between 10 to 15 kts with gusts around
20 kts. Wave heights should range between 3-4 ft.

Monday through Friday: Forecast guidance remains consistent
regarding the timing and progression of a backdoor cold front moving
across the marine zones late Monday. In the wake of the front, a 4-5
mb pressure gradient is expected to develop across the marine zones
Monday night into Tuesday. Winds over the Atlantic waters will shift
out of the northeast and rapidly increase late Monday night.

Gusts are likely to peak late Tuesday morning around 30 to 35 kt
with potential for 35 to 40 kt. Gale Watches have been issued for
all marine zones, including the Charleston Harbor. Wave heights are
expected to peak Tuesday, reaching 6-9 ft within 20 nm and 9-11 ft
across the Georgia offshore waters (from 20-60 nm).

By Wednesday, high pressure building into the region should lead to
diminishing winds and gradually subsiding seas, although 6 ft waves
could persist over the outer Georgia waters. Conditions are expected
to continue improving into Thursday.
