| Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Charleston SC 1257am EST Tuesday Feb 7 2023 Synopsis High pressure will prevail through Wednesday. A series of cold fronts will affect the area late Thursday through Saturday morning, followed by dry high pressure. Near Term - Until 6am This Morning Other than few to scattered and thin cirrus, skies will be mainly clear through the overnight, with high pressure overhead both surface and aloft. With calm winds in most places this will promote excellent radiational cooling. The forecast will indicate low temperatures from the lower and middle 30s far inland, ranging to the upper 30s and low 40s as you get closer to the coast. A few places in the Charleston metro, and along the immediate coast will be in the mid 40s. Patchy fog is forecast to develop within the pool of warmer dewpoints along the Georgia and South Carolina coastal corridor, mainly from the Charleston area to the south. .SHORT TERM /6am THIS MORNING THROUGH THURSDAY/... A deep layered ridge centered over the southern Florida Peninsula will extend into the Southeast U.S. Tuesday through Thursday morning, which will then begin to shift east further into the Atlantic as an upper trough approaches. The forecast will stay dry and rain-free through Wednesday night with mostly clear skies increasing Wednesday as some mi-level moisture begins to fill in. A weak upper shortwave will move into the area Thursday, accompanied by an increase in low-level moisture. A few showers could move in from the west Thursday late afternoon gradually spreading eastward toward the coast in the evening. A steady warming trend is expected thanks to low-level southerly flow, with highs in the upper 60s to low 70s Tuesday increasing to the low to upper 70s on Thursday. Low temps will increase to above normal Tuesday night, in the mid to upper 40s most places and low 50s across the coast. Wednesday night, lows will only drop down into the low to mid 50s. Long Term - Thursday Night Through Monday A series of shortwaves, followed by the arrival of a longwave trough and an approaching cold front will bring scattered/numerous showers and a few thunderstorms to the area Thursday night through Friday night. Precipitation will continue to spread eastward Thursday night into Friday, with the bulk of the rainfall occurring Friday. Moisture and precipitation are expected to move off the coast by Saturday morning, as cool, dry high pressure builds in. Friday will start off mild with highs around 70 degrees, becoming much cooler over the weekend in the wake of the cold front. Thursday nights' lows will also be warm with temperatures some 20 degrees above normal; in the low 60s. Thereafter, low temps will rapidly drop to just below or near normal. Marine Overnight: The pressure gradient will weaken significantly and wind speeds will be 10 knots or less out of the northeast. Seas will be just 2 or 3 feet. There could be a little fog in Charleston harbor, but nothing significant. Tuesday through Saturday: Light and variable winds with predominantly southerly flow will develop Tuesday and continue through late week as high pressure builds over the western Atlantic. Winds/seas will becomes elevated Thursday, but are expected to remain below advisory levels through Thursday night. Some models hint at sea fog developing Thursday, but increasing wind speeds could be a large limiting factor. Strengthening southerly flow ahead of a cold front Friday is expected to result in 6-7 ft seas moving into the Charleston County nearshore waters and the outer Georgia waters from 20-60 nm. In addition, gusts 25-30 kt will spread across the local waters Friday morning. Small Craft Advisories could be needed for most of the marine zones starting as early as Friday morning, continuing into Saturday.
