Hail and Damaging Winds in Georgia, April 14 to 15, 2007

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE CHARLESTON SC
425 PM EDT SAT APR 14 2007

...POTENTIAL FOR SEVERE WEATHER TONIGHT INTO SUN...
...STRONG STORM SYSTEM WILL PRODUCE A VARIETY OF HAZARDS THROUGH
SUNDAY...

.SHORT TERM /TONIGHT AND SUNDAY/...
CONVECTIVE OUTLOOK WAS UPGRADED TO A MODERATE RISK FOR MOST INLAND
COUNTIES AROUND MIDDAY...CLOSER TO THE TRACK OF THE DEVELOPING
SURFACE LOW...WHERE PREFRONTAL THUNDERSTORMS WILL LIKELY REMAIN
SURFACE BASED AS THEY ADVANCE INTO AN ENVIRONMENT FEATURING 50-80
KNOT 850-500 MB WINDS...0-6 KM BULK SHEAR EXCEEDING 50 KTS AND
UNMODIFIED HODOGRAPHS DEPICTING 0-3 KM HELICITY AROUND 500 M2/S2...
SUGGESTING AN ENHANCED RISK FOR DAMAGING WINDS AND EVEN ISOLATED
TORNADOES...PERHAPS STRONG. THEN...THE THREAT FOR WIND DAMAGE AND
ISOLATED TORNADOES MAY CONTINUE BUT DIMINISH AS PREFRONTAL
CONVECTION PUSHES EAST OVERNIGHT INTO SUNDAY MORNING...AS
INSTABILITY WILL REMAIN WEAK...LOW LEVEL WIND FIELDS BECOME
INCREASINGLY UNIDIRECTIONAL AND CONVECTION POSSIBLE BECOMES SOMEWHAT
ELEVATED. OTHERWISE...ISOLATED SHOWERS/THUNDERSTORMS THIS EVENING
WILL EVOLVE INTO WIDESPREAD PRECIPITATION AS DEEP LAYER
FORCING/PLUME OF DEEP MOISTURE OVERSPREADS THE REGION OVERNIGHT.
THEN...PER 12Z MODEL TRENDS DEPICTING A SLOWER
FROPA...SHOWERS/THUNDERSTORMS AND THE THREAT FOR SEVERE
WEATHER...MAINLY FOR DAMAGING WINDS WITH STRONG LOW/MID LEVEL WIND
FIELDS...WILL PERSIST INTO SUNDAY MORNING. THEN...DRIER AIR WILL
SWEEP INTO THE REGION IN THE WAKE OF THE COLD FRONT. WILL STILL NEED
TO REMAIN ALERT TO ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS WITH HAIL AS THE DIGGING
UPPER TROUGH AXIS/ASSOCIATED COLD POOL AND SECONDARY PERIOD OF
SYNOPTIC ASCENT OVERSPREAD THE REGION SUNDAY AFTERNOON.

.LONG TERM /SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY/...MAIN CDFNT LOOKS TO BE
WELL OFFSHORE BY SUN EVE WHILE POTENT UPR LVL TROF AXIS SWINGS
THROUGH THE CWFA ARND 00Z MON. ALL PRECIPITATION LOOKS TO BE DONE BY
00Z MON...SO ASIDE FROM SOME LINGERING POST-FRONTAL CLOUDS WILL KEEP
SUN NIGHT INTO MON DRY AS MUCH DRIER NWLY FLOW TAKES HOLD. THE MAIN
LOW PRES CENTER ASSOCIATED WITH THE CDFNT WILL DEEPEN SIGNIFICANTLY
OFF THE MID ATLC/NEW ENGLAND COAST...AND THIS COMBINED WITH INCOMING
HIGH PRES AND STRONG MID/UPR LVL WINDS WILL MAKE FOR WINDY
CONDITIONS CONTINUING MON INTO TUE.

AS HIGH PRES CONTINUES TO BUILD INTO THE AREA LATE TUE THROUGH TUE
NIGHT...WINDS WILL SETTLE DOWN BUT A QUICK-MOVING SYSTEM MOVING WWD
FROM TX ALONG THE GULF COAST AND ACRS FL TUE NIGHT THROUGH WED MAY
BRING ENOUGH LIFT WITHIN THE DEEPENING MOISTURE TO SPARK A FEW SHWRS
WED AFTN SO HAVE KEPT SLGT CHC POPS GOING. THIS SYSTEM QUICKLY MOVES
OFFSHORE...BUT IN ITS WAKE WITHIN THE LONGWAVE TROF WILL BE ANOTHER
SHTWV THAT IS IN CONCERT WITH A TRAILING LOW PRES CENTER. THIS
SECONDARY LOW PRES AREA LOOKS PUSH QUICKLY THROUGH ERN TN AND ALONG
THE NC/SC BORDER WHICH MAY BRING A FEW SHWRS TO NRN PORTIONS OF THE
CWFA THU...SO HAVE ADDED IN SLGT CHC POPS ALONG THE NR TIER
COUNTIES. HIGH PRES RETURNS FOR THE END OF THE WEEK ALLOWING FOR
DRYING CONDITIONS.

TEMPS THROUGHOUT THE EXTENDED PORTION OF THE FCST WILL REMAIN BELOW
TO WELL BELOW NORMAL...WITH THE COLDEST TEMPS EXPECTED SUN NIGHT
BEHIND THE CDFNT AND MON NIGHT WITH BETTER RADIATIONAL CONDITIONS
AND LIGHTER WINDS. TEMPS WELL INLAND MAY REACH THE MID 30S SUN
NIGHT. MOS GUIDANCE FOR SOME CO-OP SITES DO REACH 30 FOR SUN
NIGHT...BUT AM NOT QUITE CONVINCED TEMPS WILL DROP THAT LOW DUE TO
THE WINDS NOT CALMING DOWN. MAX TEMPS MON THEN RISE TO AROUND 70
DEGREES...THEN DROP BACK DOWN TO THE UPR 30S AND LOWER 40S.
RADIATIONAL COOLING CONDS ARE BETTER MON NIGHT WITH WINDS CALMING
DOWN...BUT BEST CAA WILL BE GONE BY THEN. TEMPS THEN CONTINUE TO
MODERATE THROUGH THE REST OF THE WEEK...WITH MIN TEMPS IN THE MID TO
UPR 40S AND MAX TEMPS IN THE 70S.
&&

.MARINE...
CONFIDENCE HAS INCREASED THAT GALE FORCE WINDS WILL FOLLOW THE COLD
FRONT INTO THE COASTAL WATERS SUNDAY...PERSISTING AT LEAST INTO
SUNDAY EVENING ACROSS NEARSHORE WATERS...INCLUDING CHS HARBOR...AND
POSSIBLY INTO MONDAY ACROSS THE OUTER GA WATERS. BECAUSE WIND GUSTS
COULD ATTAIN GALE FORCE AHEAD OF THE COLD FRONT
TONIGHT...DISCONTINUED THE ONGOING SMALL CRAFT ADVISORIES AND
UPGRADED ALL MARINE ZONES TO GALE WARNINGS STARTING TONIGHT. NO
DOUBT...SCA CONDITIONS WILL PERSIST AFTER GALES CEASE...AS THE DEEP
SURFACE LOW PERSISTS OVER THE NE US. MEANWHILE...PERSISTENT
DEWPOINTS IN THE MID TO UPPER 60S OVER THE RELATIVELY COOL WATERS
WILL SUPPORT AREAS OF FOG TONIGHT INTO SUNDAY MORNING.

EXTENDED MARINE...GALES LOOK TO CONTINUE OVER AT LEAST THE OUTER GA
WATERS AND POSSIBLY THE NRN SC WATERS SUN NIGHT INTO MON WITH THE
MAIN CDFNT OFFSHORE BUT A SECONDARY CDFNT MOVING THROUGH THE WATERS.
WINDS WILL SLOWLY SETTLE DOWN BY MON SUCH THAT WIND SPEEDS DROP TO
SCA LEVELS. SCA CONDS LOOK TO PERSIST MON THROUGH MON NIGHT FOR ALL
WATERS AND INTO TUE FOR THE OUTER GA WATERS AS THE PRES GRAD SLOWLY
WEAKENS OVR THE WATERS AND HIGH PRES ENCOMPASSES THE MARINE AREA.
WIND SPEEDS BECOME RATHER BENIGN TUE NIGHT INTO WED...BUT A QUICK
MOVING LOW PRES AREA MOVG EWD ALONG THE GULF COAST STATES AND ACRS
FL WED AND WED NIGHT WILL INCRS SPEEDS TO NEAR SCA LEVELS. HAVE KEPT
SPEEDS BELOW THE 20 KT THRESHOLD. CONDS IMPROVE ONCE AGAIN BY THE
END OF THE WEEK AS HIGH PRES RETURNS.
&&

.AVIATION /20Z-18Z/...
AFTER A BRIEF PERIOD OF MVFR CUMULUS CIGS AT KSAV...VFR CONDITIONS
SHOULD PREVAIL UNTIL AFTER 6Z...WHEN SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL
OVERSPREAD THE REGION AHEAD OF AN APPROACHING COLD FRONT. PRIOR TO
THE ONSET OF PRECIPITATION...THERE IS A SMALL CHANCE FOR MARINE
STRATUS TO DEVELOP AND PUSH ONSHORE WITH OCCASIONAL MVFR OR IFR
CIGS. THEN...TAFS INDICATE DETERIORATING CONDITIONS WITH THE ONSET
OF SHOWERS/THUNDERSTORMS OVERNIGHT...CONTINUING UNTIL AFTER COLD
FROPA AROUND 15Z SUNDAY. TAFS OFFER MORE SPECIFIC TIMING FOR
THUNDERSTORM/ASSOCIATED IFR OR LOWER CONDITIONS...BUT LATER
AMENDMENTS WILL LIKELY BE NEEDED AS IMPENDING CONDITIONS BECOME MORE
EVIDENT. FINALLY...LOW LEVEL WIND SHEAR WILL IMPACT BOTH TAFS LATER
THIS EVENING INTO SUNDAY MORNING...AS A STRONG LOW LEVEL JET
DEVELOPS AHEAD OF THE COLD FRONT.
&&

.FIRE WEATHER...NO RED FLAG ISSUES SUN WITH MIN RH VALUES IN THE 40S
AND 50S DESPITE THE STRONG WINDS. HOWEVER...BEHIND THE STRONG COLD
FRONT WILL BE MUCH DRIER AIR THAT WILL MOVE INTO THE AREA. ALONG
WITH THE DRIER AIR THAT WILL DROP RH VALUES TO 20-25 PERCENT ON
MON...STRONG WINDS WITHIN A TIGHT PRES GRADIENT WILL DEVELOP MON.
THE KEY WILL BE THE AMOUNT OF RAINFALL RECEIVED TONIGHT INTO TMRW
THAT WILL AFFECT THE FUEL MOISTURE...AND THIS MAY MITIGATE THE
METEOROLOGICALLY-INDUCED RED FLAG CONDITIONS. FIRE WEATHER OFFICIALS
ARE URGED TO CONSULT FIRE WEATHER FORECASTS OVER THE NEXT DAY OR SO
AND EVALUATE FUEL MOISTURES WITH THE EXPECTED RAINFALL.
&&

.STRONG WINDS...
SOUTH WINDS COULD GUST TO 40 MPH ALONG THE COAST TONIGHT...JUST
BELOW WIND ADVISORY CRITERIA. THEN...WITHIN THE POST COLD FROPA CAA
REGIME...MODEL SOUNDINGS DEPICT 40-50 KNOT WINDS WITHIN THE
DEVELOPING MIXED LAYER...SUPPORTING A SUFFICIENTLY HIGH POTENTIAL
FOR SURFACE GUSTS TO 45 MPH TO JUSTIFY A WIND ADVISORY FOR ALL AREAS
SUNDAY AFTERNOON INTO SUNDAY EVENING.

MEANWHILE...ADJUSTED THE TIME OF THE LAKE WIND ADVISORY FOR LAKE
MOULTRIE TO END AT 20Z SUNDAY...THEN ISSUED A WIND ADVISORY FOR ALL
OF BERKELEY COUNTY FOR THE 20Z-03Z TIME FRAME SUNDAY. LAKE WIND
ADVISORY CONDITIONS WILL LIKELY PERSIST BEYOND 03Z.
&&

.COASTAL HAZARDS...
EXPANDED THE HIGH SURF ADVISORY INTO GA COASTAL ZONES...AS 5 FOOT
WAVES WILL LIKELY IMPACT THE SURF ZONE. BEACH EROSION ALSO APPEARS
LIKELY ALONG THE COAST...ESPECIALLY AROUND THE TIME OF HIGH TIDE
SUNDAY MORNING. FINALLY...LOCAL GUIDANCE SUGGESTS THAT HIGH TIDE AT
CHS HARBOR...646 AM EDT SUNDAY...MAY BE PUSHED TO 7.2 OR 7.3 FT BY
STRONG ONSHORE WINDS. THUS...WILL HEADLINE SHALLOW COASTL FLOODING
FOR CHS COUNTY.
&&

.RIP CURRENTS...
COMBINATION OF STRONG WINDS...ONSHORE TONIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY
MORNING...ONSHORE SWELL AND THE UPCOMING NEW MOON WILL SUPPORT A
MODERATE RISK OF RIP CURRENTS THIS EVENING AND AGAIN SUNDAY.
