AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE CHARLESTON SC
407 PM EDT MON SEP 15 2014
.SYNOPSIS...
A STATIONARY FRONT WILL CONTINUE TO DISSIPATE OVER THE AREA
THROUGH TONIGHT. A STRONG COLD FRONT WILL APPROACH FROM THE
NORTHWEST TUESDAY AND PUSH THROUGH THE REGION LATE WEDNESDAY. A
STRONG INLAND WEDGE OF HIGH PRESSURE WILL THEN PREVAIL IN WAKE OF
THE FRONT INTO NEXT WEEKEND.
&&
.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM TUESDAY MORNING/...
SURFACE OBS INDICATE THE STALLED WEDGE FRONT HAS PRETTY MUCH
RETREATED TO THE NORTHWEST OF THE AREA AS HEATING CONTINUES TO
ERODE THE WEDGE FROM THE SOUTH AND EAST. NUMEROUS SHOWERS AND
SOME THUNDERSTORMS WILL CONTINUE TO PRODUCE A HEAVY RAIN THREAT
THROUGH THIS EVENING AS THE SEA BREEZE SLOWLY WORKS INLAND BEFORE
WINDING DOWN OVERNIGHT.. HOWEVER...SOME SHOWERS COULD OCCUR
THROUGH THE NIGHT AS WEAK SHORTWAVE ENERGY MOVES BY TO THE NORTH
AND DEEP MOISTURE REMAINS OVER THE AREA ALONG WITH THE NEARBY FRONT.
MOISTURE TRAPPED UNDER THE INVERSION WILL LEAD TO STRATUS...WHICH
COULD LEAD TO A BIT OF FOG AS WELL...MAINLY IN AREAS THAT SEE RAIN
TODAY. LOWS MAINLY IN THE LOWER TO MID 70S...BUT WILL BE LARGELY
DETERMINED BY THE RAIN.
&&
.SHORT TERM /6 AM TUESDAY MORNING THROUGH THURSDAY/...
TUESDAY...THE PATTERN ALOFT WILL FEATURE A BROAD TROUGH OVER THE
EASTERN STATES. A STRONG BUT DAMPENING SHORT WAVE WILL LIFT THROUGH
NEW ENGLAND...WHILE A SECOND AND ALSO WEAKENING SHORT WAVE HEADS
INTO OUR AREA WITHIN THE WEST-NW FLOW. THIS FEATURE LOOKED TO BE
FOUND IN THE MID-MS VALLEY AS OF LATE MONDAY. AT THE SURFACE THE
PRESSURE PATTERN BECOMES RATHER NEBULOUS AS A PRE-FRONTAL TROUGH
ALIGNED MAINLY NE-SW SETS UP ACROSS THE REGION AHEAD OF OUR MID WEEK
COLD FRONT. THERE IS A SLIGHT DECREASE IN MOISTURE PROFILES...WITH
PWATS TO FALL TO AROUND 2 INCHES. ALTHOUGH NOT AS MUCH AS RECENT
DAYS...IT IS STILL ABOVE THE 75TH PERCENTILE FOR MID-SEPTEMBER.
THERE IS LARGE SCALE FORCING ASSOCIATED WITH THE RIGHT ENTRANCE
REGION TO THE UPPER JET AND VARIOUS BOUNDARY INTERACTIONS THAT
DEVELOP FOR THE AFTERNOON HOURS. WE HAVE SCATTERED TO LIKELY POPS
ACROSS THE ENTIRE REGION...WITH THE GREATEST COVERAGE FROM NEAR THE
SAVANNAH AREA TO MCINTOSH AND LONG COUNTIES WHERE THE SEA BREEZE
WILL BE MOST ACTIVE. THERE IS A LITTLE BETTER STORM MOTION THAN
PREVIOUS DAYS...BUT NOT ENOUGH TO PREVENT AT LEAST LOCALLY HEAVY
RAINS FROM DEVELOPING. COVERAGE IS NOT ENOUGH FOR A FLASH FLOOD
WATCH BUT WILL MENTION POTENTIAL FLOODING RAINS IN THE HAZARDOUS
WEATHER OUTLOOK. WITH A LITTLE DRIER AIR ALOFT...SLIGHTLY COOLER MID
LEVEL AIR AND BETTER VERTICAL WIND FIELDS THAN OF LATE...THERE IS A
VERY LOW RISK OF SOME GUSTY WINDS WHERE THE BOUNDARY
MERGERS/INTERACTIONS/COLLISIONS OCCUR. ALTHOUGH THE DAY WILL START
WITH LOW STRATUS AND PATCHY FOG...WHICH WILL LIFT INTO A FAIRLY
EXTENSIVE CUMULUS FIELD...DOWNSLOPE TRAJECTORIES THROUGHOUT MUCH OF
THE TROPOSPHERE WILL BOOST TEMPS INTO THE UPPER 80S PRIOR TO THE
ONSET OF THE CONVECTIVE RAINS.
WEDNESDAY THROUGH THURSDAY...OUR NEXT COLD FRONT WILL LIMP TOWARD
THE AREA WEDNESDAY AS IT BECOMES ORIENTED SOMEWHAT PARALLEL TO THE
FLOW ALOFT...AND WAITS FOR THE PUSH FROM CANADIAN HIGH PRESSURE LATE
WEDNESDAY INTO THURSDAY TO KICK THE FRONT THROUGH. MID LEVEL
IMPULSES WILL FORM AT LEAST ONE WAVE OF LOW PRESSURE ALONG THE
FRONT...WHICH ALSO ACTS TO SLOW IT DOWN SOME ON WEDNESDAY. BUT AS
THE MID/UPPER PATTERN AMPLIFIES FURTHER WEDNESDAY NIGHT AND
THURSDAY...THE WAVE AND FRONT WILL PUSH OFFSHORE. IT IS WORTH NOTING
THAT THERE IS NO SIGNS OF ANY TROPICAL CHARACTERISTICS WITH THIS
FEATURE AT THIS TIME. WE NEED TO HOLD ONTO SLIGHT CHANCE AND CHANCE
POPS IN ADVANCE OF THE COLD FRONT WEDNESDAY...WITH PROBABLY NO MORE
THAN SLIGHT CHANCE POPS FOR THURSDAY IN RESPONSE TO WEAK LOW LEVEL
CONVERGENCE OFF THE ATLANTIC. THE COOL AIR LAGS FAR BEHIND THE FRONT
WEDNESDAY...WHICH WILL ALLOW FOR TEMPS TO STILL PEAK IN THE UPPER 80S
TO AROUND 90. COOLER AIR THEN MOVES IN WITH THE BEST COOL ADVECTION
WEDNESDAY NIGHT...WITH LOWS DOWN INTO THE MID AND UPPER 60S AWAY
FROM THE BARRIER ISLANDS. THURSDAY WILL BE A REFRESHING CHANGE IN
AIR MASS WITH LOWER DEW POINTS AND HIGHS ACTUALLY DOWN BELOW
CLIMATOLOGICAL NORMS.
&&
.LONG TERM /THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH MONDAY/...
A WEDGE OF SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE WILL BECOME ESTABLISHED INLAND
LATE WEEK INTO THE WEEKEND. THE UPPER LEVEL PATTERN GRADUALLY
WEAKENS DURING THIS TIME FRAME...AS THE TROUGH ALONG THE EAST
COAST DIMINISHES. THE BEST RAIN CHANCES WILL BECOME INCREASINGLY
CONFINED TO THE IMMEDIATE COASTLINE AND MARINE ZONES...AS DEEPER
MOISTURE AND FORCING REMAIN OFFSHORE ALONG THE PERIPHERY OF THE
INLAND WEDGE. SOLID NORTHEAST FLOW WILL SUPPORT NOTABLY COOLER
CONDITIONS THROUGH THE PERIOD. HIGH TEMPERATURES WILL ONLY REACH
THE LOW 80S FRIDAY AND SATURDAY...WHILE LOW TEMPERATURES FALL INTO
THE LOW TO MID 60S. AS THE WEDGE OF HIGH PRESSURE WEAKENS SUNDAY
AND MONDAY...EXPECT TEMPERATURES TO RETURN TOWARD SEASONAL NORMALS.
&&
.AVIATION /20Z MONDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/...
GENERALLY VFR CONDS EXPECTED OUTSIDE SHOWERS AND TSTMS THROUGH
THIS EVENING...ALTHOUGH SOME SHOWERS COULD LINGER OVERNIGHT INTO
TUESDAY WITH THE STALLED FRONT NEARBY AND PLENTY OF MOISTURE TO GO
AROUND. LOW CIGS EXPECTED AGAIN TONIGHT AS LOW-LEVEL MOISTURE GETS
TRAPPED UNDERNEATH THE INVERSION...POSSIBLY GOING LIFR AND PROBABLY
LOWERING ENOUGH TO EVEN YIELD SOME MVFR VSBYS.
EXTENDED AVIATION OUTLOOK...PERIODIC FLIGHT RESTRICTIONS POSSIBLE
IN OCCASIONAL SHRA AND/OR TSRA DURING THE AFTERNOON AND EARLY
NIGHT TIME PERIODS...AND IN LATE NIGHT/MORNING LOW STRATUS AND/OR
FOG.
&&
.MARINE...
TONIGHT...DISSIPATING FRONT WILL MEAN WINDS BECOMING MORE
SOUTHERLY THIS EVENING AND THEN VEERING TO THE SOUTHWEST TO WEST
LATE. WINDS WILL REMAIN LESS THAN 10 KT WITH SEAS 1-2 FT...EXCEPT
2-3 FT OVER THE GEORGIA OFFSHORE LEG.
TUESDAY...WEAK OFFSHORE FLOW IN THE MORNING WILL SHIFT AROUND TO
ONSHORE WITH THE SEA BREEZE INFLUENCES FOR THE AFTERNOON. SMALL BUT
LONG PERIOD SWELLS AROUND 15-16 SECONDS FROM HURRICANE EDOUARD MAY
ARRIVE BY LATE IN THE DAY...BUT WITH SIGNIFICANT WAVE HEIGHT NO MORE
THAN 2 OR 3 FT. CONDITIONS AGAIN FAVOR WATERSPOUTS DURING THE
MORNING HOURS...ONCE ANY LOW STRATUS AND/OR FOG IN CHARLESTON HARBOR
AND THE NEARBY ATLANTIC WATERS LIFTS/DISSIPATES.
WEDNESDAY THROUGH THURSDAY...A COLD FRONT AND WAVE OF LOW PRESSURE
WILL PROGRESS INTO AND THROUGH THE WATERS DURING THE MID WEEK
PERIOD. LIGHT TO GENTLE BREEZES IN ADVANCE OF THE FRONT WILL GIVE
WAY TO MODERATE BREEZES AFTER BEHIND THE FRONT. SEAS WILL BE
COMPRISED MAINLY OF LONG PERIOD SWELLS FROM DISTANT
EDOUARD...AVERAGING AROUND 2-4 FT WITHIN 20 NM AND 3-5 FT FURTHER
OUT.
FRIDAY THROUGH SUNDAY...THE PRESSURE GRADIENT WILL BECOME QUITE
PINCHED AS THE COLD FRONT STALLS AND BECOMES STATIONARY TO OUR SE
AND A STRONG INLAND WEDGE OF HIGH PRESSURE DEVELOPS. A LONG ONSHORE
FETCH AND STRONGER NE WINDS LOOK TO SUPPORT THE ISSUANCE OF SMALL
CRAFT ADVISORIES.
RIP CURRENTS...LONG PERIOD SWELL FROM TROPICAL CYCLONE EDOUARD COULD
START ARRIVING AT THE BEACHES LATE TUESDAY AND CONTINUE INTO
THURSDAY. FOR NOW THERE DOESN/T APPEAR TO BE MUCH MORE THAN ABOUT 2
FT SWELL THAT MAKES IT TO THE BEACHES BY LATE TUESDAY...SO WILL KEEP
THE RIP CURRENT RISK LOW. HOWEVER...SLIGHTLY LARGER SWELLS AROUND 3
FT MIGHT OCCUR WEDNESDAY INTO THURSDAY...AND THIS MAY LEAD TO AN
ENHANCED RISK OF RIP CURRENTS.
FOR FRIDAY THROUGH SUNDAY WE LOSE THE SWELL FROM EDOUARD...BUT
STRONGER NE WINDS WILL OCCUR AND THIS MAY ALLOW FOR AN ELEVATED RISK
OF RIP CURRENTS TO AGAIN PREVAIL AT AREA BEACHES.
&&
.HYDROLOGY...
A FLASH FLOOD WATCH WILL REMAIN IN EFFECT FOR ALL OF SOUTHEAST
SOUTH CAROLINA AND MUCH OF SOUTHEAST GEORGIA THROUGH LATE EVENING.
HIGH PWATS NEAR THE 99TH PERCENTILE FOR MID-SEPTEMBER COMBINED
WITH FAVORABLE UPPER DYNAMICS AND SLOW STORM MOTION VECTORS
INDICATE THERE WILL BE SOME SLOW-MOVING SHOWERS/TSTMS INTO THIS
EVENING. ANY TSTMS THAT DEVELOP WILL BE EFFICIENT RAIN PRODUCERS
WHICH WILL BE CAPABLE OF PRODUCING HOURLY RAINFALL RATES IN EXCESS
OF 2-3 IN/HR...WHICH ARE NEAR THE FLASH FLOOD GUIDANCE VALUES. THE
BEST CHANCE OF FLOODING APPEARS TO BE ACROSS SOUTHEAST GEORGIA
NORTHEASTWARD INTO COASTAL SECTIONS OF SOUTH CAROLINA.
