AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE CHARLESTON SC
210 PM EDT SUN JUN 24 2007

.SYNOPSIS...
AN UPPER LEVEL RIDGE WILL PERSIST INTO THE MIDDLE OF NEXT WEEK. A
WEAK FRONTAL BOUNDARY WILL REMAIN JUST TO THE NORTH TODAY BEFORE
DISSIPATING. SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE IN THE ATLANTIC WILL THEN
DEVELOP AND EXTEND WEST ACROSS THE FORECAST AREA.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...
13Z SFC ANALYSIS SHOWS THE WEAK SFC BNDRY ORIENTED E-W BISECTING
THE MIDLANDS WHILE ANOTHER WEAK SFC TROF IS ALIGNED OVER THE
SAVANNAH RIVER. N OF THE SFC TROF AND S OF THE SFC BNDRY... WHICH
IS MAINLY SE SC...SHOWS GOOD DEWPOINT POOLING WITH MANY LOCATIONS
IN THE MID 70S. IN SE GA...DEWPOINTS ARE CLOSER TO 70. COMBINED
WITH THE FNTL BNDRY ACTING AS A MODEST CONVERGENCE AREA THAT IS
SLOWLY MOVING CLOSER TO THE CHS CWFA...THERE IS THE SMALL
POSSBILITY OF SEEING SHWRS/TSTMS THIS AFTN. ALTHOUGH THE COVERAGE
WILL BE LIMITED WITH ONLY A FEW SFC BOUNDARIES AROUND THE AREA...
PRIMARILY THE SFC FRONT AND THE DIURNAL SEABREEZE...CONVECTIVE
PARAMETERS ARE A BIT ALARMING. MODIFIED 12Z KCHS RAOB SHOWS LI
NEAR -8...KI OF 34...TT OF 53...CAPE WELL OVER 3000 J/KG AND 0-3KM
CAPE OF 127 J/KG. CONSIDERING THE CONVECTIVE TEMP OF 90 WILL
EASILY BE REACHED AND A WEAK CAP IS IN PLACE...ANY STORM THAT
DEVELOPS HAS THE POTENTIAL TO BECOME SEVERE. JAX SOUNDING IS A BIT
MORE STABLE AND SHOWS A STRONGER CAP THAN THE CHS SOUNDING...THUS
THE THINKING IS THAT SC WILL HAVE A BETTER SHOT THAN GA FOR SEEING
STRONG STORMS. HOWEVER...CONSIDERING THE NAM SHOWS INLAND PORTIONS
OF BOTH GA AND SC HAVING SHWRS/TSTMS LATE THIS AFTN...WILL NOT
RULE OUT EITHER REGION OR GET FANCY WITH THE POP/WX DISTRIBUTION.
THE OTHER WRINKLE IS THAT WV IMAGERY SHOWS A WEAK UPR LVL
SHORTWAVE ROLLING ACRS NRN GA...AND THE RUC PICKS UP ON THIS AND
BRINGS IT ACRS THE CHS CWFA...SO THIS MAY ALSO ADD TO TSTM
POTENTIAL. WILL MAINTAIN SLGT CHC AWAY FROM THE COAST BUT DID ADD
IN SMALL HAIL/GUSTY WIND WORDING TO THE GRIDDED AND TEXT PRODUCTS
IN THE UPDATE. WITH A WBZ OF ARND 11 KFT...AM THINKING PRIMARY
HAZARD WILL BE DAMAGING WINDS /MICROBURSTS/ WITH SECONDARY HAZARD
OF LARGE HAIL. WILL ADD SUCH MENTION TO THE HWO.

OTHER CONCERN FOR TODAY IS THE HEAT. GIVEN HIGHER DEWPOINTS TO
START TDA...HARD TO SEE DEWPOINTS DROP IN THE MID 70S /EXCEPT NEAR
THE ALTAMAHA RIVER WELL AWAY FROM THE DEWPOINT POOLING/. HAVE
TWEAKED UP THE DEWPOINTS A BIT AND WITH MAX TEMPS GENERALLY IN THE
MID 90S...HEAT INDICES WILL REACH THE 100-105 DEGREE RANGE. WILL
ADD ITS MENTION IN THE ZONES AND IN THE HWO.

ANY TSTM ACTIVITY WILL QUICKLY DIMINISH THIS EVE WITH LOSS OF
DAYTIME HEATING...LEAVING CLOUDS AND A MORE STABLE ATMOS IN PLACE
FOR THE OVERNIGHT HOURS. HIGH CLOUDS OVERNIGHT SHOULD MAINTAIN LOW
TEMPERATURES IN THE LOWER 70S INLAND TO MID 70S NEAR THE COAST.

&&

.SHORT TERM /MONDAY THROUGH TUESDAY NIGHT/...
RIDGING ALOFT WILL INCREASE IN STRENGTH BOTH MONDAY AND
TUESDAY...AS THE ATLANTIC SURFACE HIGH GRADUALLY BUILDS TOWARD
LAND. WITH NOTHING MORE THAN THE SEABREEZE AS A FORCING MECHANISM
BOTH DAYS...CONFIDENCE IN AFTERNOON CONVECTION IS LOW. DEWPOINTS
DURING THE AFTERNOON HOURS LOOK TO REMAIN AT OR BELOW 70 DEGREES
FOR MOST AREAS...AND LATEST MODEL INDICES ARE NOW SUGGESTING THAT
INSTABILITY WILL ALSO BE UNIMPRESSIVE.

ALWAYS HESITANT TO COMPLETELY REMOVE PRE-EXISTING POPS THIS TIME
OF YEAR...THUS HAVE TRENDED DOWNWARD WITH  SLIGHT CHANCE
SHOWERS/THUNDERSTORMS MONDAY AFTERNOON AND EVENING TO EXCLUDE THE
COASTAL AREAS. FEEL THAT ANY CONVECTION WILL BE PURELY SEABREEZE-
DRIVEN AND THUS REMAIN WEST OF THE INLAND PROGRESSING BOUNDARY.
HIGH TEMPERATURES WILL RANGE FROM THE LOWER TO MID 90S UNDER A
STRONGER ONSHORE FLOW...WITH HEAT INDICES BELOW 100. LESS CLOUD COVER
OVERNIGHT WILL ALLOW LOW TEMPERATURES TO DROP A FEW DEGREES COOLER THAN
TONIGHT.

WAS COMPELLED TO GO AHEAD AND REMOVE MENTIONABLE POPS FROM TUESDAY
FORECAST DUE TO THE STRONG CAP IN GFS BUFR SOUNDINGS AND THE
LOWEST INSTABILITY VALUES DURING THE SHORT TERM PERIOD. ALTHOUGH
AN ISOLATED SHOWER/THUNDERSTORM REMAINS A POSSIBILITY...MODEL
TRENDS KEEP CONFIDENCE LOW ENOUGH TO GO WITH A DRY FORECAST. HIGH
TEMPERATURES ON TUESDAY WILL MAINLY BE IN THE LOWER 90S AWAY FROM THE
COAST.

&&

.LONG TERM /WEDNESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/...
RIDGING AT THE SURFACE AND ALOFT WILL REMAIN IN PLACE WED THROUGH
THU...SUPPORTING A TYPICAL PATTERN OF HOT/HUMID DAYS...ACCOMPANIED
BY HEAT INDICES IN THE 98F TO 103F RANGE...WARM/MUGGY NIGHTS AND
ISOLATED/DIURNAL THUNDERSTORMS...PRIMARILY ALONG THE SEA BREEZE
DURING THE AFTERNOON/EVENING HOURS...AND OVER COASTAL WATERS
DURING THE OVERNIGHT/EARLY MORNING HOURS. COVERAGE OF CONVECTION
REMAINS UNCERTAIN. SUBSIDENCE/CAPPING COULD SIGNIFICANTLY LIMIT
THUNDERSTORM COVERAGE...ESPECIALLY WED...AND ONLY SLIGHT CHC POPS
ARE JUSTIFIED IN THIS PACKAGE. HOWEVER...MEDIUM RANGE GUIDANCE
SUGGESTS THAT AN EASTERLY WAVE MAY PASS SOUTH OF THE FORECAST
AREA...AND SOME OF THIS MOISTURE COULD CREEP N IF ANY WEAKNESS
DEVELOPS ON THE WESTERN PERIPHERY OF THE SFC RIDGE...AND THIS IN
TURN COULD SUPPORT INCREASED SHOWER/THUNDERSTORM COVERAGE...
ESPECIALLY THU. IF THIS SCENARIO PANS OUT...WILL NEED TO RAISE THU
POPS IN LATER FORECASTS. THEN...FRI/SAT...THE UPPER RIDGE WILL
BEGIN TO BREAK DOWN...IN RESPONSE TO A DEVELOPING UPPER
TROUGH/BUCKLING OF THE JET FROM THE GREAT LAKES INTO THE NE...AND
A SFC COLD FRONT WILL APPROACH THE REGION FROM THE NE. WHILE
RESIDUAL RIDGING AT THE SFC AND ALOFT SHOULD SLOW THE PROGRESS OF
THE FRONT...SUFFICIENT MOISTURE SHOULD POOL SOUTH OF THE BOUNDARY
TO ENHANCE THE PROSPECTS FOR DEEP MOIST CONVECTION...JUSTIFYING
CHC POPS BOTH DAYS. MEANWHILE...S/SE OF THE COLD FRONT FRI/SAT...A
TURNING OF THE LOW LEVEL FLOW TOWARD THE SW AND COMPRESSIONAL
HEATING COULD PUSH TEMPS BACK INTO THE UPPER 90S AND HEAT INDICES
INTO ADVISORY TERRITORY. HOWEVER...POOLING OF MOISTURE/HIGH
DEWPOINTS AND ASSOCIATED CONVECTION SOUTH OF THE BOUNDARY COULD
OFFSET THE TREND TOWARD EXCESSIVE HEAT. THUS...FORECAST HIGHS WILL
STAKE OUT THE MIDDLE GROUND FOR NOW...WITH TEMPS A FEW DEGREES
HIGHER THAN THOSE OF WED/THU.

&&

.AVIATION /18Z SUNDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/...
WILL MAINTAIN PREVAILING VFR CONDS THROUGHOUT THE 24/18Z
TAFS...BUT AM ALREADY SEEING ISOLD CONVECTION DEVELOPING NEAR KCHS
ON THE KCLX RADAR. GIVEN THE CLOSER PROXIMITY OF THE SFC FRONTAL
BOUNDARY AND RATHER UNSTABLE AIR NEAR KCHS...HAVE INITIATED THE
18Z KCHS TAF WITH VCTS AND A TEMPO FOR TSRA. KSAV LOOKS TO REMAIN
DEVOID OF PRECIP AS THE AIRMASS IS SLIGHTLY MORE STABLE AND THERE
IS A MORE DISCERNABLE LACK OF LIFTING MECHANISMS IN THAT AREA. ANY
THREATENING WX SHOULD END BY SUNSET OR SHORTLY THEREAFTER...THEN
ATTENTION TURNS TO FOG DEVELOPMENT. NIGHTLY INVERSION AND
DISSIPATING UPR LVL CLOUDS WITH LIGHT SFC WINDS SHOULD LEND ITSELF
TO POOLING THE SFC MOISTURE INTO GROUND FOG. TIMING WILL BE A BIT
PROBLEMATIC...ESP SHOULD EITHER TERMINAL RECEIVE RAINFALL... BUT
WILL FOR NOW TIME IT IN TEMPO GROUPS AS 08-12Z MON MRNG. MIDLVL CU
WILL THEN DEVELOP LATER TMRW MRNG AFTER SUNRISE.

EXTENDED AVIATION OUTLOOK...GENERALLY VFR CONDITIONS WILL PREVAIL
THROUGH FRI.

&&

.MARINE...
WEAK FRONTAL BOUNDARY WILL REMAIN NORTH OF THE WATERS TODAY...THEN
EVENTUALLY DISSIPATE TONIGHT AS ATLC RIDGE MAKES ITS RETURN WITH
RISING PRESSURE. THIS HIGH WILL THEN EXTEND WEST ACROSS THE MARINE AREA
THROUGH THE UPCOMING WEEK AS SYNOPTIC FLOW BECOMES ONSHORE.
MEANWHILE...THE REMNANTS OF THE LOW THAT AFFECTED THE WATERS EARLIER
THIS PAST WEEK IS FOUND OVER THE SW ATLC TO THE NE OF THE BAHAMAS
THIS MORNING. THIS SYSTEM MAY ACTUALLY SHIFT BACK TOWARD THE W AND
NW AS A WAVE AS WE PROGRESS THROUGH THE WEEK...PERHAPS APPROACHING
THE GA OR FL WATERS TUE THROUGH THU.

OTHER THAN SOME ENHANCEMENT TO THE WINDS WITH THE SEA BREEZE
CIRCULATION IN CHS HARBOR AND NEAR THE COAST...AND DUE TO ANY SUBTLE
NOCTURNAL SURGES...WE ARE LOOKING AT WINDS REMAINING 15 KT OR LESS
AND SEAS 4 FT OR LESS THE NEXT FEW DAYS. LIGHT TO MODERATE S-SW
WINDS AT PRESENT WILL BECOME MOSTLY SELY DURING TODAY AND REMAIN
SELY THE NEXT SEVERAL DAYS. WINDS WILL BACK SLIGHTLY TO MORE E
DURING LATE NIGHT/EARLY MORNINGS...THEN VEER AGAIN IN THE AFTN/EARLY
NIGHT TIME HOURS.

WITH PERSISTENT ONSHORE FETCH...SEAS WILL BEGIN TO BUILD IN LATER
PERIODS...AND WILL ALSO NEED TO KEEP WATCH ON RIP CURRENTS LATER IN
THE WEEK SHOULD SWELLS START TO IMPACT THE BEACHES.
