AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE CHARLESTON SC
1024 AM EDT SUN MAY 7 2006

.SHORT TERM /REST OF TODAY/...LARGE CLEARING IN SKY COVER OVER
SOUTHEAST GEORGIA IS CERTAINLY NOT SOMETHING WE WANTED TO SEE THIS
MORNING. STRONG DYNAMICS WITH APPROACHING UPPER-LEVEL LOW AND 105
KT JET MAX MOVING IN FROM THE W WILL LIKELY AID IN THE DEVELOPMENT
OF WIDESPREAD SHOWERS AND STORMS ACROSS THE AREA THIS AFTERNOON.
ALTHOUGH SOME CIRRUS BLOW-OFF FROM AL/GA CONVECTION MAY SLIGHTLY
INHIBIT WARMING...A GOOD PORTION OF SOUTHEAST GEORGIA WILL
CONTINUE TO WARM UNABATED...WITH A DECENT AMOUNT OF SRN SOUTH
CAROLINA ALSO SEEING CONSIDERABLE WARMING AS THE LINE OF CLEARING
MOVES NE. THERE IS ALSO NO LACK OF LLVL MOISTURE...WITH UPPER 60S
DEWPTS BEING REPORTED AT MOST OF OUR STATIONS. MODIFIED 12Z SKEW-T
FROM CHS AND JAX BOTH PAINT A PRETTY STARK PICTURE...EVEN WITH
ONLY A MODEST MAX T. SBCAPES OF 2-3000 J/KG ARE EXPECTED BY MID
AFTERNOON...COINCIDENT WITH 0-6 KM DEEP-LYR SHEAR OF 40-45 KT. IT
SEEMS MOST OF THE AREA WILL SEE CLUSTERS OF THUNDERSTORMS MOVING
IN DURING THE AFTERNOON...WITH EMBEDDED SUPERCELLS. LLVL SHEAR AND
HELICITY BASED ON THE NAM APPEARS TO BE LOW ENOUGH TO PRECLUDE A
MAJOR TORNADO THREAT...HOWEVER ANY STORMS ALONG THE WEDGE BOUNDARY
WILL DEFINITELY HAVE ENOUGH SRH FOR ISOLATED TORNADOES. HAVE
INCREASED POPS TO CATEGORICAL FOR MOST AREAS EXCEPT THE OUTER
WATERS FOR THE AFTERNOON HOURS. WILL ALSO ADD POSSIBLY SEVERE
WORDING TO PRODUCTS. ADDITIONALLY...MADE MINOR TWEAKS TO
SKY...MAX T AND DEWPT.

&&

.AVIATION...AS SHORTWAVE TROUGH SWINGS THROUGH THE REGION THIS
MORNING WITH A JUICY AIRMASS IN PLACE AT THE SFC...SHOWERS WILL
LIKELY BEGIN TO POP AROUND THE TERMS BY LATE MORNING. HAVE
INCLUDED VCSH FOR A COUPLE HOURS AT SAV TERMINAL. A BIT BETTER
FORCING FURTHER NORTH AT CHS TERMINAL...SO HAVE INCLUDED A TEMPO
GROUP FOR SOME -SHRA FROM 15 TO 18Z...ALTHOUGH BEST ISENTROPIC
ASCENT IS EXPECTED TO REMAIN WELL NORTH OF CHS. THIS AFTERNOON A
SECONDARY SHORTWAVE TROUGH WILL ROTATE THROUGH THE AREA. MODELS
INDICATE SOME DECENT MID-LEVEL QG FORCING AND STEEPENING MID-LEVEL
LAPSE RATES...SO TSTMS ARE CERTAINLY NOT OUT OF THE QUESTION AT
BOTH TERMINALS THIS AFTERNOON. WILL KEEP TEMPO FOR TSRA IN AT SAV
TERMINAL BETWEEN 18 AND 22Z...AS MORE INSTABILITY IS EXPECTED
HERE. AT CHS TERMINAL...WILL KEEP TEMPO SHRA GOING FOR NOW WITH
MENTION OF CB. COULD SEE SOME LOW CLOUDS/FOG DEVELOP
OVERNIGHT...ESPECIALLY IF A DECENT AMOUNT OF RAIN IS SEEN ACROSS
THE AREA TODAY. FOR NOW WILL KEEP THINGS GENERALLY VFR...EXCEPT
FOR SOME MVFR CIGS AT CHS TERMINAL AFTER 02Z SUN.

&&

.MARINE...WINDS ARE LIGHT AND VARIABLE MOST LOCATIONS WITH SEAS
1-2 FT. NO CONCERNS IN THE MARINE TODAY EXCEPT POSSIBLE STRONG TO
SEVERE STORMS DURING THE AFTERNOON. WILL ADD POSS SEVERE MENTION
TO CWF.

.CHS WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
GA...NONE.

...SEVERE WEATHER OUTLOOK...

...A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS SOUTHEAST SOUTH
CAROLINA AND SOUTHEAST GEORGIA THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING...

A SERIES OF UPPER LEVEL DISTURBANCES WILL PASS THROUGH THE REGION
THROUGH TONIGHT. THE STRONGEST OF THESE DISTURBANCES WILL AFFECT
SOUTHEAST GEORGIA AND THE CAROLINAS THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING.
ALSO...A SURFACE LOW PRESSURE AREA WILL MOVE NORTHEAST THROUGH THE
MIDLANDS ALONG A STALLED FRONTAL BOUNDARY.

A LARGE AREA OF MOSTLY CLEAR SKIES ACROSS SOUTHEAST GEORGIA AND
EXTREME SOUTHERN SOUTH CAROLINA THIS MORNING HAS ALLOWED
TEMPERATURES TO RISE TO AROUND 80 DEGREES. ALTHOUGH CLOUD COVER WILL
INCREASE THROUGH THE AFTERNOON...HIGH TEMPERATURES IN THE LOW TO MID
80S ARE EXPECTED. THESE WARM TEMPERATURES...IN CONCERT WITH MOIST
LOW-LEVELS...WILL RESULT IN A VERY UNSTABLE ATMOSPHERE FOR THE
AFTERNOON AND EVENING. THUNDERSTORMS ARE EXPECTED TO BEGIN
DEVELOPING THIS AFTERNOON AND BECOME MORE NUMEROUS THROUGH THE EARLY
EVENING HOURS.

SOME OF THE THUNDERSTORMS COULD BECOME SEVERE WITH DAMAGING WINDS IN
EXCESS OF 60 MPH AND HAIL THE SIZE OF PENNIES OR LARGER. ISOLATED
TORNADOES ARE ALSO POSSIBLE.

EMERGENCY MANAGERS..THE MEDIA AND THE PUBLIC SHOULD CONTINUE TO
FOLLOW THIS POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS SITUATION. RESIDENTS ARE ADVISED
TO MONITOR NOAA WEATHER RADIO ALL HAZARDS FOR ADDITIONAL
STATEMENTS AND POSSIBLE WATCHES AND WARNINGS DURING THE AFTERNOON
AND EVENING HOURS.

SPOTTER ACTIVATION MAY BE REQUIRED THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING.
