AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE COLUMBIA SC
253 AM EDT SUN APR 25 2010
.SYNOPSIS...
SOUTHERLY FLOW AHEAD OF AN APPROACHING STORM SYSTEM WILL INCREASE
MOISTURE ACROSS THE AREA THIS MORNING. EXPECT SCATTERED SHOWERS
AND THUNDERSTORMS TODAY UNTIL A COLD FRONT PUSHES THROUGH THE
REGION THIS EVENING. ISOLATED SHOWERS WILL BE POSSIBLE ON MONDAY
AND TUESDAY AS UPPER DISTURBANCES PASS BY TO THE NORTH.
&&
.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TODAY/...
POTENTIAL FOR SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS MAY INCREASE DURING THE
MORNING. DEEP LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM OVER ILLINOIS MOVING NORTHEAST.
COLD FRONT MOVING SLOWLY ACROSS EASTERN MISSISSIPPI AT 06Z.
THUNDERSTORMS DEVELOPING AHEAD OF WARM FRONT ACROSS NORTHERN
ALABAMA/CENTRAL GEORGIA. AIR MASS BECOMING MARGINALLY UNSTABLE
ACROSS CSRA WITH SURFACE LI AROUND -1 NEAR AGS. EXPECT A WEAK
INSTABILITY/HIGH SHEAR ENVIRONMENT THIS MORNING. THUNDERSTORMS
OVER CENTRAL AND EAST GEORGIA MOVING NORTHEAST WILL AFFECT THE
REGION THIS MORNING. MORE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS NORTHWEST GEORGIA
MAY MOVE INTO THE AREA BY EARLY THIS AFTERNOON. MODELS SUGGEST
STRONGER INSTABILITY BY THIS AFTERNOON...HOWEVER DEEPER MOISTURE
SHIFTING EAST OF THE AREA ALONG WITH THE DEEP LAYER SHEAR. LOW
LEVEL MOISTURE SHOULD BE SUFFICIENT TO SUPPORT ISOLATED TO
SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS THIS AFTERNOON. WILL CONTINUE
LIKELY/CATEGORICAL POPS EARLY THIS MORNING AND CHANCE POPS THIS
AFTERNOON.
TEMPERATURES WILL BE ABLE TO REACH INTO THE LOWER 80S GIVEN THE
DRY SLOT AND DEEP MIXING THAT IS EXPECTED TO OCCUR. WITH THE DEEP
MIXING STRONG WINDS ARE EXPECTED WITH GUSTS TO AROUND AROUND 30 MPH
POSSIBLE THROUGH EVENING. A LAKE WIND ADVISORY FROM 6 AM TODAY THROUGH
MIDNIGHT.
&&
.SHORT TERM /TONIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY NIGHT/...
IN THE WAKE OF A COLD FRONT PUSHING ACROSS THE FORECAST AREA LATE
THIS AFTERNOON/EVENING...THE FORECAST AREA WILL REMAIN UNDER
GENERAL TROUGHING AND HEIGHT FALLS TONIGHT AND MONDAY AS THE MAIN
UPPER LOW OVER THE OHIO VALLEY BEGINS TO OPEN UP AND SHIFT
EASTWARD AND OFF THE MID ATLANTIC COAST. THE DEEP MOISTURE WILL BE
LACKING AS A MID LEVEL DRY SLOT WILL BE SITUATED OVER THE REGION
AND THIS WILL MINIMIZE THE OPPORTUNITY FOR CONVECTION. WILL KEEP
SLIGHT CHANCE POPS ON MONDAY WITH DAYTIME HEATING DESTABILIZING
ATMOSPHERE. GUSTY WINDS EXPECTED AGAIN MONDAY SO LAKE WIND
ADVISORY WILL LIKELY BE NEEDED.
UPPER HEIGHTS BRIEFLY BECOME ZONAL MONDAY NIGHT BEFORE FALLING AGAIN
ON TUESDAY AS YET ANOTHER SHORTWAVE DIVES ACROSS THE OHIO VALLEY
INTO THE MID ATLANTIC/CAROLINAS BY TUESDAY NIGHT. IT APPEARS THAT THE BEST
LIFT AND DEEPER MOISTURE WILL AGAIN REMAIN TO THE NORTH OF THE
FORECAST AREA...MINIMIZING THE CHANCES FOR PRECIPITATION...BUT WILL
LEAVE THE CURRENT SLIGHT CHANCE POPS ON TUESDAY AS DAYTIME HEATING
AND SIGNIFICANT COOLING AT 500MB COULD RESULT IN STEEPENING LAPSE
RATES AND SOME ISOLATED CONVECTION.
TEMPERATURES WILL BE NEAR NORMAL ON MONDAY...IN THE UPPER 70S...BUT
FALL BELOW NORMAL IN THE LOWER TO MID 70S ON TUESDAY.
&&
.LONG TERM /WEDNESDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/...
THE EXTENDED FORECAST PERIODS FEATURE A TRANSITION FROM AN EAST
COAST TROUGH AND COOLER AND DRIER WEATHER TO AN EAST COAST RIDGE
WITH CONTINUED DRY WEATHER AND WARMING TEMPERATURES.
CONTINUED NORTHWEST UPPER FLOW IN THE WAKE OF A DEPARTING EAST COAST
TROUGH COMBINING WITH NORTHWESTERLY SURFACE WINDS AS SURFACE HIGH
PRESSURE BUILDS IN FROM THE WEST...WILL RESULT IN A COOL AND DRY DAY
ON WEDNESDAY WITH TEMPERATURES BELOW NORMAL IN THE LOWER 70S.
UPPER HEIGHTS BUILD ON THURSDAY ALL THE WAY INTO SATURDAY AS AN
UPSTREAM RIDGE TRANSLATES EASTWARD AND AMPLIFIES AS A LARGE TROUGH
DEVELOPS OVER THE WEST COAST AND INTERMOUNTAIN WEST. THIS WILL
ALLOW FOR MOSTLY CLEAR SKIES AND TEMPERATURES TO WARM BACK TO NEAR
NORMAL ON THURSDAY AND CLIMB ABOVE NORMAL IN THE 80S ON FRIDAY AND
SATURDAY. AS THE SURFACE HIGH RETREATS OFF THE COAST BY
SATURDAY...SOUTHERLY FLOW OFF THE GULF SHOULD INCREASE LOW LEVEL
MOISTURE OVER THE AREA AND COULD LEAD TO ISOLATED CONVECTION BY
SATURDAY...BUT WILL LEAVE OUT AT THIS TIME DUE TO UNCERTAINTY.
&&
.AVIATION /06Z SUNDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/...
AN AREA OF LOW PRESSURE MOVING THROUGH THE LOWER MISSISSIPPI VALLEY
WILL CONTINUE TO DEEPEN AND MOVE EASTWARD OVER THE NEXT 24 HOURS. A
STRONG LOW LEVEL JET IS SETTING UP OVERNIGHT...WHICH WILL CONTINUE
TO PULL LOW LEVEL MOISTURE IN TO THE REGION. LLWS WILL BE POSSIBLE
NEAR 2KFT AS WINDS OF 45 KNOTS MOVE OVERHEAD THROUGH 12Z.
OCCASIONAL SHOWERS WILL CONTINUE OVERNIGHT AHEAD OF THIS
SYSTEM...WITH THE POSSIBILITY OF THUNDERSTORMS DEVELOPING INTO
SUNDAY MORNING. CEILINGS WILL BEGIN LOWERING INTO THE MVFR RANGE
OVERNIGHT.. THE COLD FRONT EXPECTED TO MOVE THROUGH NEAR 18Z WITH
MVFR CONDITIONS BECOMING VFR AFTER 19Z.
AVIATION OUTLOOK...VFR THROUGH THURSDAY. STRONG AND GUSTY SOUTHWEST
TO WEST WINDS POSSIBLE SUNDAY THROUGH TUESDAY.
