Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Charleston SC 352 PM EST Sat Dec 14 2019

SYNOPSIS. High pressure will build from the west through the weekend and then slide offshore on Monday. A cold front will then cross the area late Tuesday, followed by high pressure into late next week. Low pressure should then develop along the coast next weekend.

NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM SUNDAY MORNING/. Dry high pressure will settle over the area tonight with weakening winds this evening. Fairly good radiational cooling will produce a cool night with lows in the upper 30s to lower 40s. Some fog could move into our far southern GA zones late tonight after developing over central GA.

SHORT TERM /6 AM SUNDAY MORNING THROUGH TUESDAY/. Sunday: Sfc high pressure will begin the day on Sunday centered over the FL/GA line. The high center is expected to drift east during the day, positioned off Southeast U.S. coast by Sunday afternoon. As a result, weak return flow will develop across the forecast area by Sunday afternoon. The combination of warming thicknesses and mostly sunny conditions should result in steady heating through the day. High temperatures are forecast to range from the upper 60s across SE GA to the mid 60s across the I-26 corridor.

Sunday night through Monday night: The forecast area will remain between high pressure over the Atlantic and developing low pressure over the ArkLaTex. Strengthening return flow, especially on Monday, is forecast to result in steadily warming thicknesses Sunday night through Monday. Mostly clear conditions and light to calm winds should support radiational cooling Sunday night, lows forecast to range in the 40s. Mild thicknesses and llvl temperatures should result in around 25 degrees of warming during the daylight hours on Monday. High temperatures are forecast to range from the low 70s across Berkeley County to the upper 70s across SE GA. Monday night, winds should remain steady from southwest, maintaining mixing. Short term guidance times the arrival of weak showers during the late night hours Monday night. Using a blend of MOS, low temperatures are forecast to range in the upper 50s to around 60.

Tuesday: A cold front will approach the forecast area from the west, remaining west during the morning hours. The cold front is expected to reach SE GA and SC by the afternoon, pushing offshore during the evening hours. The GFS indicates that between 500-1000 J/kg of CAPE will develop along and ahead of the cold front. I will indicate a band of showers with embedded thunderstorms crossing the forecast area Tuesday afternoon into the early evening. High temperatures are expected to range slightly cooler than Monday.

LONG TERM /TUESDAY NIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY/. Dry and cooler high pressure will spread across the region Tuesday night through Thursday with high/low temps some 15-20 degrees cooler than earlier in the week. In general, high temps will peak in the mid 50s Wednesday and Thursday while overnight lows dip into the low/mid 30s away from the coast Wednesday night and Thursday night. Guidance then suggests the potential for precip to return across the area next weekend, mainly due to a coastal trough/low developing just off the Southeast Coast. Precip chances should be highest near the land/sea interface Saturday. Temps will be slightly more mild during the weekend as well, peaking in the upper 50s/lower 60s each day. Overnight lows should range in the upper 30s/lower 40s away from the coast.

AVIATION /21Z SATURDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/. VFR conditions will prevail at both terminals. During the afternoon hours expect to see only scattered clouds at best. Gusty west winds will persist until shortly before dusk, with possible gusts up to 25 kt. After dusk, winds will be light and westerly through 18Z Sunday.

Extended Aviation Outlook: Brief patchy fog is possible around dawn Sunday and Monday mornings at both CHS and SAV terminals. Otherwise, conditions will remain VFR. Flight restrictions are possible at both terminals Tuesday due to showers/thunderstorms along a passing cold front. VFR conditions are forecast at both terminals Wednesday.

MARINE. The gradient will gradually relax this evening and overnight. Small Craft Advisories drop off sequentially through the evening and overnight.

Sunday through Thursday: Sfc high pressure will begin the day on Sunday centered over the FL/GA line. The high center is expected to drift east during the day, positioned off Southeast U.S. coast by Sunday afternoon and will linger through Monday night. Light south winds are forecast Sunday through Monday, with winds increasing from the southwest Monday night. Seas will range from 1-3 ft on Sunday, building to 3-5 ft by Monday night. A cold front will approach the forecast area from the west, remaining west during the morning hours. The cold front is expected to reach SE GA and SC by the afternoon, pushing offshore during the evening hours. Small Craft Advisory seas and wind gusts could develop during the day across AMZ350 and 374. Small Craft conditions may spread into the other near shore waters Tuesday night into Wednesday morning. Building high pressure will continue in the wake of the cold front, maintain steady to gusty NW winds Wednesday, turning from the NE on Thursday. Seas around 6 ft may continue across the outer GA waters from Tuesday through Thursday.

CHS WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES. GA . None. SC . None. MARINE . Small Craft Advisory until 6 PM EST this evening for AMZ330. Small Craft Advisory until 9 PM EST this evening for AMZ352.

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.
