Marine Weather and Tides
Version 3.4 |
10/9/2019 Updated the Marine Zones. 9/4/2019 Fixed the weather maps due to NOAA moving them. 7/25/2019 New feature in the Airports section gives a link to 5 minute updates for data reports. 6/2/2019. Many thanks to a user for reporting an error on one of the Edit pages. The switch to PHP 7.2 caused many pages that previously worked to quit working. I fixed many but I still depend on users to report ones I missed. Please report errors HERE or send an email to me at L-36.com. Allen |

(on/off) Help NOTE: mouseover dotted underlined text for definition| Fxus62 kchs 182021 afdchs area forecast discussion national weather service charleston sc 421 pm edt Fri oct 18 2019 Synopsis A storm system originating from the gulf of mexico will bring unsettled weather late tonight through Saturday night. A cold front will move through Tuesday, followed by dry high pressure. Near term until 6 am Saturday morning High pressure will lose influence tonight as a low pressure system currently in the gulf of mexico lifts northeast into the florida panhandle and towards the area. This evening will remain dry, however deep moisture will overspread the area from the south overnight ahead of the low. As a result, rain chances will ramp up, and widespread showers are expected to be impacting the georgia counties by daybreak. There will be some activity north of the savannah river, but the bulk of the precipitation should hold off until after this time. Average rainfall totals overnight will generally be a quarter of an inch or less, with some isolated higher amounts near the altamaha. Otherwise, cloud cover will thicken through the night with temperatures near to above normal. Lows are forecast to range from low mid 50s across northern and interior zones to low mid 60s south. Short term 6 am Saturday morning through Monday Tropical storm nestor is forecast to make a quick transition to a post extra tropical entity after making landfall along the florida panhandle prior to 12z Saturday. While just about all of the convective and non-convective rains have been in the eastern semi- circle of the system prior to landfall, we expect transition to a more mature non-tropical low later Saturday with a developing dry slot wrapping into the system. Categorical pops are in order for all areas as rains spread north through the morning hours. Winds will also be increasing as the low moves northeast through southern ga in the afternoon. We may need a wind advisory for coastal areas during the afternoon hours as the gradient tightens. Low level instability is in question as heavier rains may tend to keep surface temps in the 60s to the west of i-95 through much of the day. Latest guidance suggests the tornado potential could be confined to immediate coastal areas of SE ga during the afternoon and shift to the sc coast in the evening. Mucapes over 500 j kg are generally progged offshore by both the GFS ecmwf. The surface low is forecast to move quickly northeast of the forecast area after midnight to a position along the nc coast by 12z Sunday. Rains will end from SW to NE Saturday night with the flow veering to offshore around daybreak on Sunday. High pressure will return during Sunday into Monday with dry weather with highs in the mid upper 70s on Sunday and upper 70s to lower 80s on Tuesday. Long term Monday night through Friday A cold front will sweep through Tuesday accompanied by scattered to numerous showers. Dry high pressure will then build in from the west through Thursday night. A strong cold front could bring another chance for rain late Friday. Aviation 20z Friday through Wednesday Vfr will prevail the remainder of the afternoon into tonight. Conditions are expected to deteriorate late tonight into Saturday as showers associated with a low pressure system move into the area. MVFR or lower ceilings are expected to develop, beginning at ksav roughly around 08z, then to kchs by 14z. In addition, gusty east winds are expected on Saturday. Extended aviation outlook: flight restrictions are likely through midday Sunday as wrap-around low clouds will begin the day before clearing out in the afternoon. Brief flight restrictions possible |
again on Tuesday with a cold front and scattered showers. Marine Tonight: a low pressure system currently over the gulf of mexico will lift northeast into the florida panhandle tonight. As this occurs, the pressure gradient will tighten and conditions will deteriorate from south to north. Late tonight, easterly winds are expected to be gusting in the 25-30 knot range across the georgia waters, and a small craft advisory is in place to cover this prior to the start of the gale watch. Across south carolina waters, gusts should stay shy of advisory criteria through sunrise. Hazardous conditions with develop with the approach of post extra tropical storm nestor on Saturday. Strong low pressure will quickly shift northeast through SE ga and southern sc into Saturday evening. The low will move northeast of the waters by early Sunday. Gale watches will likely be upgraded to gale warnings tonight as strong gusty winds expected to impact the waters with gusts up to 35-40 kt. Seas will build to 6 to 9 ft near shore and up to 11 ft offshore by late Saturday. We think a high surf advisory will likely be needed as seas build during the day Saturday. Conditions will improve on Sunday as low pressure continues to move away and winds shift more offshore. Seas will also gradually subside. A cold front will approach the waters late Monday night and move off the coast late Tuesday. Cooler and drier air in the wake of the front will result in another decent surge and possible small craft advisories. Hydrology Deep tropical moisture will spread into the region from florida and the eastern gulf of mexico later tonight and Saturday. The increasing forward speed of the low pressure system will tend to keep storm total rainfall amounts below 4 inches across the region, although isolated amounts could be higher. On this package we raised total storm QPF amounts to 2.5-3.5 inches. We expect a good possibility for localized minor flooding with this event, and flood advisories will likely be needed Saturday afternoon and evening. Tides coastal flooding Increasing onshore flow will result in building tidal departures and the risk for minor moderate coastal flooding around the midday Saturday high tide at both downtown charleston and fort pulaski. Flooding could be worsened by ongoing rainfall around the time of high tide. Chs watches warnings advisories Ga...

It is not checked for accuracy either by anyone at L-36.com or by the source which is typically the US Government. See the NOAA web site for their disclaimer. Finally, tide and current data on this site is from 2007 and 2008 data bases, which may contain even older data. Changes in harbors due to building or dredging change tides and currents and for that reason many of the locations presented are no longer supported by newer data bases. For example, there is very little tidal current data in newer data bases so current data is likely wrong to some extent. This data is NOT FOR NAVIGATION. See the XTide disclaimer for details. In addition, tide and current are influenced by storms, river flow, and other factors beyond the ability of any predictive program. |
