AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE CHARLESTON SC
916 PM EST TUE NOV 12 2013
.SYNOPSIS...
AN ARCTIC FRONT WILL PROGRESS THROUGH THE REGION THIS EVENING.
COLD HIGH PRESSURE WILL BUILD INTO THE AREA WEDNESDAY AND PERSIST
THROUGH LATE WEEK WHILE GRADUALLY LIFTING NORTHEAST. GULF MOISTURE
AND A COASTAL TROUGH WILL RESULT IN UNSETTLED WEATHER THIS
WEEKEND...WITH A POSSIBLE STORM SYSTEM AFFECTING THE AREA EARLY
NEXT WEEK.
&&
.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM WEDNESDAY MORNING/...
THE ARCTIC FRONT IS MOVING RAPIDLY THROUGH THE AREA THIS EVENING
BEING AIDED BY ISALLOBARIC PRESSURE RISES ON THE ORDER OF
7-8MB/3HRS. WINDS ARE CORRESPONDINGLY INCREASING WITH GUSTS TO 40+
MPH NOW COMMON ACROSS PARTS OF THE CHARLESTON TRI-COUNTY AREA.
BASED ON CURRENT TRENDS...HAVE EXPANDED THE WIND ADVISORY SOUTH TO
INCLUDE THE REMAINDER OF SOUTHEAST SOUTH CAROLINA AND A FEW
COUNTIES ALONG THE SAVANNAH RIVER IN SOUTHEAST GEORGIA.
TEMPERATURES HAVE BEEN SLOW TO FALL THIS EVENING...BUT WILL
ACCELERATE OVER THE NEXT FEW HOURS AS INTENSE COLD AIR ADVECTION
ENSUES IN THE WAKE OF THE FRONT. LOWS FROM THE LOWER 30S INLAND
TO THE UPPER 30S/LOWER 40S AT THE BEACHES LOOK ON TRACK. STILL
CAN NOT COMPLETELY RULE OUT A BRIEF FREEZE IN SOME AREAS FAR
INLAND...BUT THE SITUATION LOOKS TOO MARGINAL FOR A FREEZE
WARNING.
IMPRESSIVE DYNAMICS ASSOCIATED WITH A STRONG OF TROUGH OF LOW
PRESSURE HAVE BEEN GENERATING QUITE A BIT OF LIGHT PRECIPITATION
ACROSS THE NORTH CAROLINA AND SOUTH CAROLINA PIEDMONT THIS
EVENING. IT APPEARS THE SOUTHERN EDGE OF THIS AREA OF
PRECIPITATION WILL BRUSH THE CHARLESTON TRI-COUNTY AREA OVER THE
NEXT FEW HOURS. INCREASED POPS TO 40 PERCENT TO ACCOUNT FOR THIS.
RAP THERMAL PROFILES STILL INDICATE LIGHT RAIN MAY BRIEFLY MIX
WITH VERY LIGHT SLEET FOR AN HOUR OR TWO BEFORE ENDING. ALSO...
DESPITE MOISTURE BEING SCOURED OUT OF THE DENDRITIC GROWTH
ZONE...UPSTREAM OBSERVATIONS INDICATE SOME LIGHT SNOW HAS BEEN
ABLE TO MIX IN WITH THE LIGHT RAIN AT TIMES WITHIN CORRIDORS OF
MORE INTENSE PRECIPITATION. HAVE THEREFORE ADDED A SLIGHT CHANCE
OF LIGHT SNOW TO THE GRIDS...MAINLY ALONG AND NORTH OF I-26.
AGAIN...THIS SHOULD BE NON-ISSUE FOR TRAVEL AND MOSTLY A NOVELTY.
THE REMAINDER OF THE FORECAST AREA SHOULD REMAIN DRY FOR THE
OVERNIGHT HOURS.
&&
.SHORT TERM /6 AM WEDNESDAY MORNING THROUGH FRIDAY/...
WEDNESDAY...A STRONG CANADIAN HIGH PRESSURE WILL BLAST UNSEASONABLY
COLD AIR ACROSS THE REGION...POSSIBLY RESULTING IN AFTERNOON HIGHS
TO BE 20 PLUS DEGREES BELOW SEASONAL NORMALS. DESPITE SUNNY
SKIES...COLD AIR ADVECTION WILL ONLY ALLOW TEMPERATURES TO CLIMB
INTO THE UPPER 40S TO LOWER 50S. IN ADDITION...WINDY CONDITIONS WILL
LINGER...ESPECIALLY ALONG THE COAST AND NEAR LAKE MOULTRIE.
THEREFORE...HAVE EXTENDED THE WIND ADVISORY FOR BERKELEY AND
COASTAL COUNTIES FROM TUESDAY NIGHT INTO LATE WEDNESDAY MORNING AS
THE LOW LEVEL JET SLOWLY PULLS FURTHER OFFSHORE.
WEDNESDAY NIGHT...THE ABNORMALLY COLD TREND WILL CONTINUE AS A
WIDESPREAD FREEZE EVENT DEVELOPS. COLD ADVECTION WILL INITIALLY
PERSIST EARLY WEDNESDAY EVENING...BUT AS HIGH PRESSURE SHIFTS
EASTWARD AND SETTLES OVER THE AREA...BOUNDARY LAYER WINDS WILL
QUICKLY DIMINISH. THIS SETUP WILL ALLOW WINDS TO DECOUPLE AND
TEMPERATURES TO QUICKLY DROP UNDER MAINLY CLEAR SKIES. TEMPERATURES
WILL BOTTOM OUT IN THE MID TO UPPER 20S ACROSS MOST AREAS...WITH
LOWER TO MIDDLE 30S EXPECTED ALONG THE COAST. HAVE ISSUED A FREEZE
WATCH FOR ALL AREAS EXCEPT COASTAL GEORGIA.
THURSDAY THROUGH FRIDAY...ALTHOUGH TEMPERATURES WILL CONTINUE TO
UNDERCUT SEASONAL NORMALS...A SLOW WARMING TREND WILL DEVELOP AS THE
SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE SHIFTS NORTHEASTWARD UP THE MID-ATLANTIC
STATES AND LOW/MID LEVEL MOISTURE ACROSS THE GULF STATES SPREADS
NORTHWARD. THURSDAY TEMPERATURES WILL CLIMB INTO THE UPPER 50S TO
LOWER 60S UNDER MAINLY CLEAR SKIES. A DECENT TEMPERATURE GRADIENT
COULD DEVELOP THURSDAY NIGHT AS INCREASING CLOUDS FROM THE SOUTHWEST
PROVIDE SOME INSULATION ACROSS SOUTHEAST GEORGIA AND CLEARER SKIES
PERSIST ACROSS TO THE NORTH. THEREFORE...SHOWCASE THIS TEMPERATURE
TREND WITH LOWS IN THE UPPER 30S ACROSS NORTHERN AND INLAND LOCATIONS
AND UPPER 40S TO NEAR 50 DEGREES FURTHER SOUTH AND ALONG THE COAST.
ON FRIDAY...HIGH PRESSURE WEDGE WILL BUILD IN FROM THE NORTH AS
CLOUDS CONTINUE TO INCREASE FROM THE SOUTH. IN ADDITION...A COASTAL
TROUGH WILL DEVELOP JUST OFF THE COAST WHICH COULD SUPPORT ISOLATED
RAIN SHOWERS ALONG COASTAL AREAS. FRIDAY TEMPERATURES WILL CONTINUE
TO NUDGE WARMER WITH HIGHS IN THE MID TO UPPER 60S AND LOWS DIPPING
INTO THE UPPER 40S INLAND AND UPPER 50S ALONG THE COAST.
&&
.LONG TERM /FRIDAY NIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY/...
A HIGHLY UNSETTLED PATTERN IS EXPECTED IN THE LONGER RANGE DUE TO A
BROAD UPPER TROUGH SETTING UP SHOP TO OUR WEST WITH A SERIES OF
VORTS MOVING THROUGH. THE SURFACE HIGH WILL GRADUALLY SHIFT
NORTHEAST TO A POSITION OFF THE MID-ATLANTIC COAST WHICH IS A
TYPICAL COLD AIR DAMMING SCENARIO FOR US. WE EXPECT SOMEWHAT COOL
NORTHEAST FLOW TO REMAIN IN PLACE FRIDAY NIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY WITH
GULF MOISTURE MOVING IN ALOFT. AT A MINIMUM WE ARE LOOKING AT
PROLONGED CLOUDY CONDITIONS. A COASTAL TROUGH WILL PROVIDE LIFT FOR
AT LEAST SCATTERED SHOWERS OVER THE COASTAL WATERS THOUGH MODELS ARE
SPITTING OUT SCATTERED SHOWERS OVER LAND FROM TIME TO TIME. WE
BUMPED UP POPS A TAD THOUGH ARE NOT GOING WHOLE HOG UNTIL THERE IS
MORE MODEL CONSISTENCY SINCE THE TIMING OF THE BEST RAIN CHANCES IS
UNCLEAR AT THIS TIME. A STRONG WARM FRONT IS PROGGED TO LIFT NORTH
ON MONDAY WITH A COLD FRONT POTENTIALLY MOVING THROUGH MONDAY NIGHT
OR TUESDAY.
&&
.AVIATION /02Z WEDNESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/...
THE COLD FRONT HAS CLEARED KCHS AND WILL MOVE THROUGH KSAV
SHORTLY. WINDS WILL INCREASE DRAMATICALLY BY 02Z AT KCHS AND 04Z
AT KSAV WITH GUSTS NEARING 30 KT. CIGS WILL LOWER SUBSTANTIALLY
WITH MARGINAL MVFR CIGS POSSIBLE BRIEFLY FROM 04-07Z AT KCHS AS AN
AREA OF LIGHT PRECIPITATION PIVOTS NORTH OF THE TERMINAL. WILL SEE
SIGNIFICANT CLEARING PRIOR TO SUNRISE WITH GUSTY WINDS LINGERING
THROUGH THE DAY WEDNESDAY.
EXTENDED AVIATION OUTLOOK...CEILING AND/OR VISIBILITY RESTRICTIONS
WILL BECOME INCREASINGLY LIKELY LATE FRIDAY THROUGH THE WEEKEND DUE
TO A COASTAL TROUGH DEVELOPING.
&&
.MARINE...
TONIGHT...UPGRADED THE GALE WARNING TO A STORM WARNING FOR THE
GEORGIA OFFSHORE WATERS...MAINLY ACROSS THE EASTERN HALF OF THAT
ZONE WHERE THE WEST WALL OF THE GULF STREAM RESIDES. UPSTREAM
OBSERVATIONS ACROSS NORTH CAROLINA AND NORTHEAST SOUTH CAROLINA
ALREADY SHOW WINDS GUSTING NEAR 45 KNOTS...AND THESE OBSERVATIONS ARE
LOCATED WITHIN THE COOLER NEARSHORE WATERS. RAP MIXING PROFILES
SHOW WINDS OF 45-50 KT WITHIN THE MIXED LAYER OCCURRING OVER THE
WESTERN WALL OF THE GULF STREAM TONIGHT...WHICH SHOULD EASILY MIX
TO THE SURFACE WHERE WATER TEMPERATURES ARE IN THE MID 70S WITHIN
THE WEST WALL. THIS SHOULD SUPPORT FREQUENT GUSTS TO STORM FORCE--
48 KT. ELSEWHERE...SOLID GALES ARE IMMINENT WITH WINDS 30-35 KT
WITH GUSTS TO 45 KT.
WEDNESDAY...HAZARDOUS MARINE CONDITIONS WITH GALE FORCE WINDS AND
DANGEROUS SEAS WILL PERSIST ACROSS THE COASTAL WATERS. THE LOW LEVEL
JET WILL SLOWLY NUDGE FURTHER OFFSHORE WEDNESDAY...ALLOWING GALES TO
END IN THE CHARLESTON HARBOR BY LATE MORNING. HOWEVER...GALES ACROSS
THE COASTAL WATERS OUTSIDE OF THE HARBOR WILL EASILY LINGER THROUGH THE
AFTERNOON.
WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY...MARINE CONDITIONS WILL STEADILY
IMPROVE WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH THE END OF THE WEEK...AS HIGH
PRESSURE SETTLES OVER THE AREA BEFORE SLIPPING OFF THE MID ATLANTIC
COASTLINE. SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY SEAS COULD STILL PERSIST THROUGH AT
LEAST THURSDAY FOR THE OUTER GEORGIA WATERS GIVEN THE PERSISTENT
NORTHEAST FLOW.
&&
.CLIMATE...
ARCTIC HIGH PRESSURE WILL DELIVER UNSEASONABLY COLD AIR TO THE
REGION. SOME RECORD LOW MAXIMUM TEMPERATURE RECORDS COULD BE IN
JEOPARDY WEDNESDAY. IN ADDITION...EARLY THURSDAY MORNING
TEMPERATURES COULD END UP WITHIN A FEW DEGREES OF RECORD LOW FOR
THE DATE. A SUMMARY OF MIDWEEK RECORDS FOLLOWS.
WEDNESDAY NOVEMBER 13 RECORD LOW MAXIMUM TEMPERATURES...
CHS 52F...1977
