Severe Thunderstorm Warning 14, NWS Charleston, SC

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE CHARLESTON SC
330 PM EDT WED APR 7 1999

WIDELY SCATTERED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS HAVE BEEN MOVING EAST
SOUTHEAST ACROSS THE AREA THIS AFTERNOON. THESE SHOULD DIMINISH WITH
THE LOSS OF HEATING. HOWEVER APPEARS THAT THERE COULD BE SOME
REDEVLOPMENT LATE TONIGHT IN COASTAL SECTIONS OF SOUTH CAROLINA. SO
BELIEVE THAT IT WOULD NOT BE A BAD IDEA TO INCLUDE A LOW CHANCE OF
PRECIPITATION THROUGHOUT THE NIGHT THERE. ELSEWHERE CAN PROBABLY GO
WITHOUT AFTER THE EVENING ACTIVITY DIMINISHES/MOVES ALONG.

WILL CONTINUE TO SEE WEAK SHORT WAVES BRUSH BY THE AREA FOR THE NEXT
SEVERAL DAYS. THE SURFACE BOUNDARY WILL NEVER MAKE IT. BUT WITH THE
ATMOSPHERE REMAINING UNSTABLE WILL PROBABLY SEE WIDELY SCATTERED
DIURNAL ACTIVITY FOR THE NEXT FEW DAYS ALTHOUGH WOULD THINK THAT
COVERAGE WOULD BE LESS FURTHER SOUTH AND WEST.

WINDS HAVE BEEN INCREASING SLIGHTLY OVER THE WATERS DURING THE DAY
AND LOOKING AT MODEL FORECASTS THAT TREND SHOULD CONTINUE. AFTER
COORDINATION WITH WILMINGTON WILL INCREASE WIND FORECAST FOR
TONIGHT. LOOKS LIKE THURSDAY NIGHT WILL BE SIMILAR AND MAY EVEN BE
PUSHING SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY CRITERIA BY LATE IN THE THIRD OR IN THE
FOURTH PERIOD IF WINDS STRENGTHEN AS FORECAST.
