AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE CHARLESTON SC
319 AM EDT SUN JUN 3 2007

.SYNOPSIS...
THE REMNANTS OF TD BARRY WILL MOVE UP THE SC COAST THIS MRNG AS A
STRONG AREA OF LOW PRES. A SERIES OF WEAK FRONTS MAY MOVE THROUGH
EARLY THIS WEEK BEFORE A RIDGE OF HIGH PRES BUILDS INTO THE WRN
ATLC BY MID TO LATE WEEK.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...
BARRY HAS TRANSITIONED INTO A CLASSIC EXTRATROPICAL CYCLONE. SATL
SHOWS AN IMPRESSIVE COMMA HEAD ROTATING ACROSS CNTRL SC/GA WITH A
LARGE DRYSLOT MOVING N ALONG THE SC COAST. THE SFC LOW WAS LOCATED
OVER DOWNTOWN SAV AT 215 AM WITH A PRES OF 994 MB AND WL CONTINUE
TO MOVE N/NE THROUGH THE SC LOWCOUNTRY TDA. NUMEROUS SHOWERS AND
ISOLD TSTMS CONTINUE TO FIRE...MAINLY W OF I-95 WHERE DEFORMATION
FORCING IS THE THE MOST INTENSE. SCATTERED TO NUMEROUS SHOWERS AND
ISOLD TSTMS WL CONTINUE TO IMPACT THE FCST AREA FOR THE NXT 6-9
HRS BEFORE THE BULK OF THE ACTIVITY ROTATES OFF TO THE N AS THE
UPR LOW BEGINS TO PULL AWAY. WL FCST 50-70 PCNT POPS THIS MRNG
THEN TAPPER THEM OFF RAPIDLY FROM SW-NE THROUGH THE DAY. THE RISK
FOR WDSPRD FLOODING HAS ENDED ALONG THE COAST THUS THE FLOOD WATCH
WL BE CANCELLED A FEW HRS ERLY. ADDITIONAL RNFL AMOUNTS OF 1/2 TO
1 INCH LOOK REASONABLE WITH ISOLD HIGHER AMOUNTS PSBL MAINLY ACROSS
INTERIOR SE GA.

PINNING DOWN TEMPS AND CLOUD COVER WL BE TRICKY TDA AS MUCH WL
DEPEND ON THE MOVEMENT OF THE UPR LOW. SFC OBS ACROSS SE AL AND
EXTREME SW GA SUGGEST SKIES WL BECOME PARTLY CLOUDY WITH THE
PASSAGE OF THE UPR LOW. SUSPECT MUCH OF SE GA WL BECOME PARTLY
CLOUDY THIS AFTN THUS TEMPS SHOULD BE ABLE TO RECOVER INTO THE
MID-UPR 80S BASED ON MODIFIED FCST SOUNDINGS. THE CLOUDS WL
LIKELY LINGER WELL INTO THE AFTN ACROSS SE SC PARTICULARLY IN THE
CHARLESTON TRI-COUNTY AREA. TEMPS WL BE COOLER IN THESE AREAS AS
A RESULT. WL GO WITH HIGHS IN THE MID-UPR 70S WITH LWR 80S CLOSER
TO THE SAVANNAH RIVER. THERE IS OBVIOUSLY A BIT BUST POTENTIAL
HERE. SKIES WL BE PARTLY CLOUDY TNGT WITH LOWS IN THE UPR 60S...
XCPT UPR 60S/LWR 70S NEAR THE COAST.

&&

.SHORT TERM /MONDAY THROUGH MONDAY NIGHT/...
MON LOOKS TO BE AN ACTIVE SEA BREEZE DAY. LOW-LVL CONVG ALONG THE
SEA BREEZE COUPLED WITH INCRG SFC BASED INSTABILITY AND UVM ASSOC
WITH THE LFQ OF AN 80 KT JET MOVING ACROSS THE NRN GULF WL RESULT
IN THE DVLPMNT OF SCT SHOWERS AND TSTMS IN THE AFTN. A MODERATE
WLY MID-LVL FLOW SUGGESTS THE SEA BREEZE WL REMAIN FAIRLY CLOSE TO
THE COAST THUS THE HIGHEST POPS WL BE FOUND THERE. WL GO WITH 30
POPS ALONG AND OF THE I-95 CORRIDOR WITH TOKEN 20 PCNT POPS
FARTHER INLAND. PARAMETERS WOULD SUPPORT PULSE SVR ALONG MESOSCALE
BNDRY INTERACTIONS WITH LCLLY HVY RNFL. SHOWERS AND TSTMS WL
LINGER INTO THE EVNG ALONG THE COAST BEFORE SLOWLY DIMINISHING
WITH THE LOSS OF INSOLATION. FCST SOUNDINGS SUPPORT HIGHS IN THE
LWR 90S INLAND WITH MID-UPR 80S ALONG THE COAST. LOWS WL BE IN THE
UPR 60S TO LWR 70S.

&&

.LONG TERM /TUESDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/...
GFS SHOWS A BOUNDARY MOVING THROUGH THE AREA TUESDAY AND TUESDAY
NIGHT. THIS MAY BRING A SCATTERED SHOWERS ESPECIALLY TO THE SOUTHERN
CWA. HIGH PRESSURE BRINGS DRIER AIR INTO THE REGION THROUGH THURSDAY
WITH LOW LEVEL MOISTURE INCREASING BY THE END OF THE WEEK. MAX
TEMPERATURES WILL BE IN THE UPPER 80S WITH A POSSIBILITY OF REACHING
TO THE LWR TO MID 90S BY THE END OF THE WEEK. HEAT INDICES MAY
ALSO SURPASS 100 DEGS FOR THE FIRST TIME THIS YEAR. LOW TEMPERATURES
OF MID TO UPPER 60S RISING TO AROUND 70 BY THE END OF THE WEEK.

&&

.AVIATION /06Z SUNDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/...
CONDS WILL GRADUALLY IMPROVE AT BOTH TERMINALS THROUGH THE MID
AFTN HOURS. BOTH CHS AND SAV ARE WAVERING BETWEEN MVFR AND IFR
CIGS...USUALLY IN CONCERT WITH LIGHT SHWRS MOVING IN AND MOVING
OUT OF EACH AIRFIELD. AM RUNNING WITH PRIMARILY IFR CONDS THROUGH
SUNRISE THEN STEADILY HAVE CIGS RISING TO MVFR AND EVENTUALLY VFR
BY THIS AFTN. AM NOT LOOKING FOR ANY CONVECTION...HENCE NO CB OR
TS INCLUSION...AND ANY PRECIP FROM NOW ON WILL BE LIGHT. TIMING OF
THE WIND SHIFT TO NW AND W WILL BE TRICKY...BUT THE TREND IS TO
HAVE WINDS BACK TO NW THROUGH THE MRNG HOURS. VFR CONDS WILL
PREVAIL LATE THIS AFTN THROUGH TNGT WITH DIMINISHING WINDS.
HOWEVER...ALONG WITH THE DIMINISHING SFC WINDS WILL BE A MODEST
LLJ THAT WILL HAVE WLY WINDS OF ARND 30 KT OVERNIGHT TNGT.
THUS...HAVE INCLUDED LLWS AT THE TAIL END OF THE 03/06Z TAFS.

EXTENDED AVIATION OUTLOOK...NO SIGNIFICANT FRONTAL PASSAGES ARE
EXPECTED THROUGH THU THUS MAKING FOR PREVAILING VFR CONDS.
HOWEVER...POSSIBLE AFTN/EVE ISOLD SEABREEZE TSTMS AND EARLY MRNG
RADIATIONAL FOG MAY MAKE FOR OCNL MVFR TO IFR PERIODS.

&&

.MARINE...
AS THE CENTER OF THE LOW PRES SYSTEM ONCE KNOWN AS TS BARRY
CONTINUES TO PULL AWAY TO THE NNE...A WEAKENING GRADIENT WIND WILL
BE LEFT IN ITS PLACE. AM STILL SEEING GUSTS TO GALE FORCE AT
FRYING PAN...TYBEE TWR AND 41004...SO CANNOT LET GALES DROP WITH
THIS MRNG/S PKG. HOWEVER...AS THE SYSTEM QUICKLY MOVES FURTHER NE
AND THE NW WIND TAKES HOLD...SPEEDS WILL STEADILY LESSEN SUCH THAT
WIND SPEEDS ARE EXPECTED TO DROP BELOW GALE FORCE FROM SW TO NE
ACRS THE CHS COASTAL WATERS. SPEEDS LOOK TO BE BELOW EVEN SCA
SPEEDS BY TNGT FOR ALL WATERS EXCEPT THE OUTER GA WATERS. ALONG
WITH THE DIMINISHING WIND SPEEDS...THE OFFSHORE FLOW WILL ALLOW
SEAS TO STEADILY SUBSIDE SUCH THAT ALL WATERS LOOK TO BE BELOW 6
FT BY THIS EVENING.

CONDS FOR ALL NEARSHORE WATERS ARE THEN EXPECTED TO REMAIN BELOW SCA
LEVELS THROUGH THE FIRST HALF OF THE WEEK DESPITE THE ENCROACHMENT
OF WEAK FRONTAL SYSTEMS TO THE SE COAST. WIND SPEEDS MAY APPROACH 20
KT AT TIMES...BUT ARE NOT EXPECTED TO EXCEED THAT MARK. HOWEVER...
THE OUTER GA WATERS MAY EXPERIENCE A FEW PERIODS OF SCA WIND SPEEDS
DURING THE FIRST HALF OF THE WEEK. BY LATE WEEK...HIGH PRES WILL
MOVE OVER THE WATERS MAKING FOR RATHER BENIGN CONDS.

LAKE WINDS...WILL KEEP THE LAKE WIND ADVY GOING FOR ONE MORE PKG BUT
WITH THE LOW PRES SYSTEM PULLING AWAY AND LEAVING NOTHING MORE THAN
A WEAKENING GRADIENT WIND IN PLACE...THE ADVY SHOULD BE ABLE TO BE
EXPIRED BY LATE THIS MRNG.

&&

.TIDES/COASTAL FLOODING...
HIGH SURF/RIP CURRENTS...WINDS ALONG THE SHORES IN GA ARE ALREADY
BACKING TO NW AND W AS THE CENTER OF THE FORMER TS BARRY MOVES
NNE...AND THIS SAME TREND WILL OCCUR ALONG THE SC SHORE BY DAYBREAK
THIS MRNG. WINDS WILL THEN PERSIST IN AN OFFSHORE FASHION THROUGH
THE REST OF THE DAY. IN ADDITION...SEAS HAVE ALREADY COME DOWN TO
7-9 FT PER GA BUOYS/TOWERS...SO THE 14 FOOT SEAS BEING REPORTED AT
41004 WILL NOT LAST MUCH LONGER. THUS...WITH THE TREND OF LOWERING
SEAS AND OFFSHORE FETCH...WILL DROP THE HIGH SURF ADVY WITH THIS
MRNG/S PKG.

AS FOR RIP CURRENTS...BREEZY CONDS WILL STILL BE PRESENT THIS MRNG
BUT WIND SPEEDS WILL NOTICEABLY DROP OFF THIS AFTN. THAT DIFFERENCE
IN WIND SPEEDS IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN MOD AND LOW RISK PER LOCAL
WORKSHEET. A MODEST SWELL WILL STILL BE PRESENT BUT LOWER BREAKERS
AND OFFSHORE FETCH WILL MITIGATE THE SWELL AND STRONG WIND SPEEDS.
WILL RUN WITH A MODERATE RISK OF RIP CURRENTS FOR THIS MRNG...BUT IT
IS EXPECTED THAT THE RIP CURRENT RISK WILL BE LOW BY THIS AFTN.

&&

.EQUIPMENT...
USERS SHOULD BE AWARE THAT THE KCLX RADAR CONTINUES TO SEVERELY
UNDERESTIMATE RAIN TOTALS ACROSS THE FCST AREA. PLEASE USE ALL
DERIVED PRECIP PRODUCTS WITH CAUTION.
