Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Columbia SC 1017 AM EST Thu Dec 5 2019

SYNOPSIS. High pressure over the forecast area today and tonight will be off the Southeast Coast Friday. There will be increased moisture ahead of an approaching cold front Friday. The front will cross the area Friday night. High pressure will build in from the north over the weekend, then a warm front will lift north early Monday. Unsettled conditions are expected early next week ahead of the next cold front.

NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/. High pressure will continue to build into the area today and settle over the region tonight. Northwesterly flow aloft will support some scattered cirrus clouds spilling into the area from the west. Atmospheric moisture remains quite low with PWAT values around 0.2-0.3 inches with no precipitation in the forecast through tonight.

High temperatures should be a bit warmer than yesterday with plenty of sunshine expected with highs in the lower to mid 60s. Strong radiational cooling conditions are expected tonight with mostly clear skies and calm winds. This will support overnight lows in the mid to upper 30s.

SHORT TERM /FRIDAY THROUGH SUNDAY NIGHT/. Friday and Friday Night: The flow aloft will start off as zonal, but an upper trough will swing through the area Friday afternoon and evening. At the surface, high pressure just off the Carolina coast will shift farther east, allowing a cold front to pass through the area. Increased moisture on the back side of the high, combined with forcing associated with the upper trough and cold front will support a chance of showers across much of the area Friday afternoon and evening. Temperatures should warm into the lower and mid 60s for highs, with nighttime lows in the lower to mid 40s.

Saturday and Saturday Night: Broad upper troughing will prevail over the area on Saturday, then begin to shift east Saturday night as a more zonal flow develops aloft. Meanwhile, surface high pressure centered over the northern Mid-Atlantic will begin to wedge into the area. Cooler temperatures are expected with more of a northerly flow in place, with highs in the mid to upper 50s.

Sunday and Sunday Night: The surface wedge will strengthen some on Sunday. However, isentropic lift will develop over the area ahead of a lifting warm front. As a result, expect increasing rain chances Sunday afternoon through Sunday night. Leaned toward the cooler end of guidance given the wedge scenario, with highs in the 50s across the area.

LONG TERM /MONDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/. A warm front will lift northward across the area early Monday, allowing a moist southerly flow to develop across the area. Showers will be in the chance to likely category Monday into Tuesday ahead of an approaching cold front, which appears to move through late Tuesday. Drier air will advect into the area on Wednesday behind the front. Temperatures will be above normal on Monday and especially Tuesday ahead of the cold front, but cool of significantly by Wednesday as cooler air advects in behind the front.

AVIATION /15Z THURSDAY THROUGH MONDAY/. Expect VFR conditions through the 24-hour TAF period.

Dry high pressure will prevail over the area through the forecast period with little aviation impacts expected. Some high cirrus clouds will move over the region and winds will be from the northwest around 5 knots or less through the afternoon. Winds will go calm overnight all terminals except DNL where winds will be less than 5 knots.

EXTENDED AVIATION OUTLOOK . A weakening front may bring light rain and brief restrictions Friday. Widespread restrictions may occur with high low-level moisture in a northeast flow associated with high pressure wedging into the region Saturday through Monday plus a cold front approaching Monday.

CAE WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES. GA . None. SC . None.

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.
