AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE CHARLESTON SC
437 PM EDT WED JUL 11 2007

.SYNOPSIS...
AN UPPER LEVEL SHORTWAVE AND ASSOCIATED SURFACE TROUGH WILL MOVE
THROUGH THE AREA TONIGHT. A TRAILING FRONTAL BOUNDARY WILL
APPROACH THURSDAY AND STALL OVER THE INLAND CAROLINAS THURSDAY
NIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY. THE FRONT WILL THEN LIFT BACK NORTH AND
DISSIPATE SUNDAY...GIVING WAY TO BUILDING HIGH PRESSURE FROM THE
ATLANTIC AGAIN BY EARLY NEXT WEEK.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM THURSDAY MORNING/...
LINES OF STRONG THUNDERSTORMS ARE MOVING INTO THE FAR WESTERN
COUNTIES OF THE FORECAST AREA THIS AFTERNOON WITHIN A DEEPLY
UNSTABLE ENVIRONMENT AHEAD OF AN APPROACHING UPPER SHORTWAVE.
LATEST MESO ANALYSIS REVEALS CAPE VALUES AROUND 3000 J/KG...WITH
LIFTED INDICES DOWN TO -6 AND -7.

THE SEABREEZE IS JUST BEGINNING TO MAKE PROGRESS AWAY FROM THE
COAST. AS THE ACTIVITY FURTHER INLAND CONTINUES TO MOVE EASTWARD
INTO THE FORECAST AREA...AN EVENTUAL INTERACTION WITH THE SEABREEZE
IS POSSIBLE DURING THE NEXT SEVERAL HOURS. EARLIER SOUNDING
ANALYSIS INDICATED WET BULB TEMPERATURES ABOVE 14 KFT AND ONLY
SLIGHT SHEAR...SUGGESTING THAT STRONG WINDS WILL BE THE MAIN
THREAT ASSOCIATED WITH THUNDERSTORMS TODAY.

UPPER SHORTWAVE AND ASSOCIATED SURFACE TROUGH WILL CROSS THE AREA
TONIGHT AND MOVE OFFSHORE BY EARLY THURSDAY MORNING. WITH THE
CONTINUED UPPER LEVEL SUPPORT...EXPECT THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY TO BE
ABLE TO PERSIST PAST SUNSET. CHANCE POPS WILL CONTINUE FOR THE
ENTIRE CWA UNTIL AROUND MIDNIGHT. AFTER MIDNIGHT HAVE DROPPED
POPS TO SLIGHT CHANCE IN THE SOUTHERN COUNTIES AWAY FROM THE
IMMEDIATE COASTLINE...SINCE THE STRONGEST UPPER DYNAMICS WILL BE
FURTHER NORTH AND OFFSHORE.

CONCERNING TEMPERATURES...HEAT ADVISORY WILL BE ALLOWED TO
CONTINUE UNTIL 8 PM TONIGHT. OVERNIGHT LOWS WILL ONLY FALL INTO
THE LOWER TO MID 70S...WITH LOCALLY WARMER TEMPERATURES IN THE
UPPER 70S NEAR THE COAST.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 AM THURSDAY MORNING THROUGH THURSDAY NIGHT/...
WITH THE UPPER SHORTWAVE OFFSHORE THURSDAY MORNING...DRY MID
LEVEL AIR FILTERS IN FROM THE WEST. HIGH TEMPERATURES WILL REACH
THE LOWER TO MID 90S AWAY FROM THE COAST...HOWEVER LOWER DEWPOINTS
SHOULD KEEP HEAT INDICES BELOW ADVISORY CRITERIA.

ALTHOUGH THERE WILL STILL BE PLENTY OF INSTABILITY THURSDAY
AFTERNOON...SHOWER AND THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY WILL BE LESS
WIDESPREAD DUE TO THE DRIER AIR AND LESS FORCING. EXPECT
CONVECTION TO BE MORE SEABREEZE-DRIVEN AND DIURNAL...SO HAVE
REDUCED POPS TO SLIGHT CHANCE FOR THURSDAY AFTERNOON AND REMOVED
MENTION OF ANY PRECIP THURSDAY NIGHT. SEABREEZE MAY BE PINNED TO
THE COAST UNTIL LATE AFTERNOON ON THURSDAY...WITH MODEL SOUNDINGS
SUGGESTING A MORE SOLID WESTERLY FLOW ABOVE THE SURFACE.

A FRONTAL BOUNDARY WILL DEVELOP WITHIN THE LINGERING SURFACE
TROUGH EAST OF THE APPALACHIANS THURSDAY...BUT IS EXPECTED TO MAKE
LITTLE PROGRESS UNDER THE BLOCKING EFFECTS OF THE ATLANTIC
SURFACE RIDGE TO THE SOUTHEAST. OVERNIGHT LOWS WILL AGAIN BE
WARM...RANGING FROM THE LOWER TO MID 70S AWAY FROM THE COAST.

&&

.LONG TERM /FRIDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
SURFACE TROUGH LINGERS TO THE LEE OF THE APPALACHIANS ON
FRI...BEFORE COOL FRONT TRIES TO APPROACH FROM THE NW ON SAT...BUT
WILL LIKELY NEVER GET THIS FAR SE AS ATLC RIDGE HOLDS OVER THE SW
ATLC...FL AND THE GULF OF MEX. THE RIDGE BOTH SURFACE AND ALOFT THEN
LOOKS TO BUILD N DURING THE EARLY AND MIDDLE PART OF NEXT WEEK.

CONVECTION ON FRI LOOKS TO BE MAINLY DRIVEN BY THE SEA BREEZE...BUT
SHORT WAVE ALOFT DOES MOVE IN LATE IN THE DAY AND INTO FRI NIGHT. AS
A RESULT WILL CARRY SLGT CHANCE TO CHANCE POPS DURING THIS TIME.

FOR THE WEEKEND WITH A FRONTAL BOUNDARY NEARBY TO THE N AND NW AND
POOLING OF MOISTURE AND PWATS OVER 2 INCHES WILL GO WITH CHANCE
POPS...HIGHEST EACH AFTN/EVE.

FOR MON THROUGH WED...WITH INCREASING SUBSIDENCE AND BUILDING ATLC
RIDGE WILL PLAN ON DIURNALLY DRIVEN SLGT CHANCE TO CHANCE
POPS...WITH SEA BREEZE AS THE MAIN FORCING.

MAX TEMPS LOOK TO BE IN THE MID 90S AWAY FROM THE BEACHES FRI AFTN
WITH WSW SYNOPTIC FLOW IN PLACE. WHILE DEWPTS FAR INLAND WILL BE
DOWN NEAR 70...FURTHER E THEY WILL REACH INTO THE LOWER OR MID
70S...AND WE COULD BE LOOKING AT A MARGINAL HEAT ADVISORY FOR PARTS
OF THE REGION.

SLIGHTLY LOWER TEMPS SAT AND SUN WITH INCREASED RAIN CHANCES AND
MORE CLOUD COVER...WITH TEMPS CLIMBING A COUPLE OF DEGREES AGAIN MON
THROUGH WED.

&&

.AVIATION /20Z WEDNESDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...
STRONG THUNDERSTORMS ARE MOVING EASTWARD INTO SOUTHEAST SC AND
GEORGIA THIS AFTERNOON. THE RESULTANT SEA BREEZE HAS JUST BEGUN TO
MAKE PROGRESS INLAND. EXPECT CONVECTIVE COVERAGE TO INCREASE
CLOSER TO THE TERMINALS WITHIN THE NEXT FEW HOURS. PASSAGE OF
THE UPPER LEVEL SHORTWAVE BY 06-08Z WILL END THE RISK OF ANY
PRECIP. CURRENTLY HAVE NOT GONE ANY LOWER THAN MVFR CONDITIONS
BETWEEN 20-24Z...BUT COULD EXPERIENCE LOWER CONDITIONS AND WILL
AMEND IF NECESSARY.

BOTH TERMINALS CAN EXPECT GUSTY WINDS THIS AFTN INTO THIS EVE WITH
DEEP MIXING TAPPING INTO 15-25 KT OF WIND. HIGHER GUSTS CERTAINLY
CAN OCCUR WITH ANY TSRA. WINDS WILL BE SLOWER IN DECOUPLING AT
KCHS THAN AT KSAV...AND DEPENDING UPON HOW LIGHT SURFACE WINDS
DROP TO OVERNIGHT...WE WILL BE LOOKING AT MARGINAL WIND SHEAR. 00Z
TAFS CAN ADDRESS THIS CONCERN WHEN WE GET A LOOK AT THE NEW SOUNDING
DATA.

WIND FIELDS OFF THE SURFACE TONIGHT APPEAR A TOO HIGH FOR ANY
FOG...BUT IF WE RECEIVE ENOUGH RAIN WE COULD BE LOOKING AT A
PERIOD OF MVFR VSBYS OVERNIGHT.

EXTENDED AVIATION OUTLOOK...VFR CONDITIONS WILL PREVAIL OUTSIDE OF
AFTERNOON/EVENING SHOWERS AND TSTMS THROUGH MON.

&&

.MARINE...
HAVE MAINTAINED THE SMALL CRAFT EXERCISE CAUTION FOR CHARLESTON
HARBOR THIS EVENING...AS OBSERVATIONS CONTINUE TO INDICATE
SOUTHERLY WINDS BETWEEN 15 AND 20 KT. WINDS ACROSS THE COASTAL
WATERS ARE EXPECTED TO DIMINISH TO 10 TO 15 KT OVERNIGHT...EXCEPT
FOR THE OUTER GEORGIA ZONES WHERE WINDS WILL REMAIN 15 TO 20 KT.
SOUTHERLY WINDS WILL ALSO VEER TO A MORE SOUTHWEST DIRECTION
THROUGH THURSDAY MORNING.

A LATE SEABREEZE WILL ALLOW WINDS TO BACK TO THE SOUTH ONCE AGAIN
THURSDAY AFTERNOON. CHARLESTON HARBOR MAY REACH SCEC CRITERIA
AGAIN...HOWEVER HAVE CAPPED THE OTHER COASTAL ZONES AT 15 KT. SEAS
ACROSS THE SOUTHEAST SC AND GEORGIA WATERS WILL RANGE FROM 2 TO 4 FT.

CONDITIONS APPEAR FAVORABLE FOR SCSEC HEADLINES OVER PARTS OF THE
AREA FRI INTO FRI NIGHT...WITH PINCHING OF THE PRES
GRADIENT...INCREASED LOW LEVEL WIND FIELDS AND FURTHER ENHANCEMENT
DUE TO THE SEA BREEZE. ANY SUCH HEADLINES WOULD BE MOST LIKELY IN
CHARLESTON HARBOR AND THE OUTER GA WATERS DURING THIS TIME.

FOR THE WEEKEND...PROVIDED THE FRONTAL BOUNDARY NEVER GETS THIS FAR
SE...THEN MOSTLY S-SW WINDS...VEERING AT NIGHT/MORNING AND BACKING
DURING THE AFTN/EVE...WITH TYPICAL SEA BREEZE NEAR THE COAST AND IN
CHARLESTON HARBOR...AND SMALL NOCTURNAL SURGES.

AS THE ATLC RIDGE BUILDS NEXT WEEK THE SYNOPTIC FLOW LOOKS TO BACK
TO S OR SE.

TIDES...WILL NEED TO KEEP A WATCH ON TIDE LEVELS FRI AND SAT WITH
THE ASTRONOMICAL HIGH TIDES AND THE SEA BREEZE ENHANCED ONSHORE
FLOW.
