Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Columbia SC 121 AM EST Mon Dec 4 2023

SYNOPSIS
Clearing skies this morning with breezy conditions this afternoon. Continued dry weather with cooler, near normal, temps Tuesday. A dry cold front will come through Tuesday night, and bring in cooler air for Wednesday and Thursday, with breezy conditions possible again Wednesday. Expect fair weather with a gradual warming trend Friday and Saturday. Moisture return expected Saturday night and Sunday.

NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/
Drier air will push into the forecast area today, leading to clearing skies this morning. The dry air mass is not very cool, so temperatures will be above normal again today with highs in the mid 60s to low 70s.

An upper level trough will lift into the upper Midwest today with the associated surface low pushing into the southern Appalachians. A trailing cold front will cross through the Southeast during the day approaching the forecast area late in the day and overnight. The cooler air behind this front will bring temperatures overnight closer to normal, with lows mainly in the low 40s. The strengthening surface pressure gradient ahead of the front will lead to breezy SW winds during the afternoon. Winds will more likely than not stay below Lake Wind Advisory criteria. Lake water temps will be lower than air temps in the afternoon which will reduce mixing, adding confidence to sub-criteria wind speeds.

SHORT TERM /TUESDAY THROUGH TUESDAY NIGHT/
Upper trough will dig SE from the Mid Miss/Ohio Valley across the Carolinas Tuesday/Tue nt/early Wed, with a dry reinforcing cold front coming through late Tue nt/early Wed. This system will not have any significant moisture to work with, with PW values 0.5 inch or lower.

LONG TERM /WEDNESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/
Low pressure expected to develop well off the Mid Atlantic coast Wednesday, with surface high pressure still well to our west. Resulting increasing surface pressure gradient may result in breezy conditions possible Wednesday. Behind this front, some Canadian air will bring in cooler temps, with temps falling below normal, and surface high pressure building into our region, or just to our south, Wed nt/Thu. Upper trough to shift to our east Thursday through Saturday while an upper trough shifts east into the Rockies, with some rising upper heights and weak upper ridging over our region. A front appears will remain stalled to our north, which may possibly back door down the eastern seaboard some, but remaining to our N/NE. PW values progged to remain below normal through at least Friday. Gradual air mass modification to result in temps trending upward Fri.
The upper trough will shift east into the central and E CONUS, with surface high pressure shifting to our east and low pressure moving east into the Midwest, with a trailing cold front approaching from the west, late in the forecast period.
Southerly flow ahead of the feature will result in increasing moisture Sat nt/Sun.

AVIATION /06Z MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/
VFR conditions likely through the 24 hr forecast period.

Continued clearing through the early morning hours as drier air moves into the region. Winds will stay around 5 knots or less before picking up mid-morning around 10 to 12 knots with gusts to 20 knots from the west-southwest. A cold front will move into the forecast area tonight which will keep winds up once again and limit the threat of fog.

EXTENDED AVIATION OUTLOOK...
Expect breezy winds Wednesday but widespread restrictions appear unlikely through Friday.
