AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE CHARLESTON SC
145 PM EDT SAT JUL 28 2007

.SYNOPSIS...
MEAN MID AND UPPER TROUGH POSITION TO REMAIN ALONG THE ERN STATES
AND INTO OUR REGION THROUGHOUT MUCH OF THE FCST PERIOD...ALTHOUGH
ATLC RIDGING WILL TRY TO BUILD BACK TOWARD THE AREA LATE NEXT WEEK.
MEANWHILE...PIEDMONT TROUGH TO FORM TODAY AND WILL SHIFT INTO THE
AREA TONIGHT AND SUNDAY...THEN LINGER NEARBY MONDAY. A SURFACE
FRONTAL BOUNDARY COULD APPROACH BY MID WEEK...THEN LINGER NEARBY
THROUGH NEXT FRIDAY. OCNL SHORT WAVES WILL MOVE THROUGH THE TROUGH
ALOFT...ONE SUCH TODAY AND ANOTHER ON MON. THIS ALONG WITH VARIOUS
BOUNDARIES SUCH AS THE SEA BREEZE WILL AID IN POSSIBLE STRONG OR
ISOLATED SEVERE TSTMS DURING THIS TIME.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 PM THIS EVENING/...
SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH HAS BEEN ISSUED FOR THE ENTIRE AREA.
AS EXPECTED...THUNDERSTORMS HAVE INCREASED DRAMATICALLY IN
COVERAGE...AHEAD OF VIGOROUS SHORTWAVE ADVANCING SE PER WATER
VAPOR IMAGERY. WHILE STRONG TO SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS WERE PUSHING
THROUGH SC COUNTIES DURING THE EARLY AFTERNOON...THUNDERSTORMS
ACROSS SE GA ARE DEVELOPING WITHIN AN ENVIRONMENT FEATURING
SBCAPES 3500-4500 J/KG AND MAY INTENSIFY EXPLOSIVELY THIS
AFTERNOON. THE PRIMARY SEVERE WEATHER THREAT WILL DAMAGING WINDS
PRODUCED BY MULTICELL THUNDERSTORMS...BUT BOUNDARY INTERACTION MAY
SUPPORT BRIEF SUPERCELL DEVELOPMENT WITH A RISK FOR LARGE HAIL AND
EVEN BRIEF/ISOLATED TORNADOES.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 PM THIS EVENING THROUGH 6 PM SUNDAY/...
SHORT WAVE MOVES INTO THE ATLC EARLY TONIGHT BUT DOES NOT CLEAR THE
COASTAL WATERS ENTIRELY UNTIL 12Z SUNDAY. IN WAKE OF THIS SHORT WAVE
NVA WILL DEVELOP ON SUNDAY...WITH PRESENT INDICATIONS ARE THAT NO
SIGNIFICANT SHORT WAVES WILL AFFECT THE FCST AREA.

WILL NEED TO KEEP SCATTERED OR LIKELY POPS GOING EARLY TONIGHT OVER
LAND AREAS...AND INTO THE OVERNIGHT HOURS OVER THE ATLC WITH
AFOREMENTIONED SHORT WAVE. ISOLATED STRONG OR SEVERE STORMS ARE
CERTAINLY POSSIBLE EVEN OVER THE ATLC. LOWS TONIGHT WILL BE IN THE
LOWER TO MIDDLE 70S.

SURFACE TROUGH MOVES INTO THE AREA TONIGHT AND SUNDAY...AND THAT
ALONG WITH THE SEA BREEZE WILL BE THE FOCUS FOR CONVECTION ON
SUNDAY. WHILE THERE ARE LITTLE IF ANY DYNAMICS ALOFT...CAPES ARE
SLIGHTLY HIGHER THAN TODAY AND THERE IS EVEN A LITTLE MORE MOISTURE.
WILL PLAN ON AT LEAST 50 PERCENT POPS ON SUNDAY...PERHAPS EVEN
HIGHER IF SURFACE WAVES DEVELOP ALONG THE TROUGH AND MOVE INTO THE
CWFA. A FEW STRONG OR SEVERE TSTMS ARE POSSIBLE WITH PROXIMITY TO
SURFACE TROUGH...ALTHOUGH WARMER MID LEVEL TEMPS AND MID LEVEL LAPSE
RATES THAN TODAY WILL CERTAINLY KEEP DOWN THE OVERALL COVERAGE OF THE
SEVERE POTENTIAL. WILL STILL MENTION IN THE HWO.

&&

.LONG TERM /SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY/...
UPPER TROUGHING/ASSOCIATED SHORTWAVES PUSHING NW TO SE THROUGH THE
PARENT TROUGH...SEA BREEZE CONVERGENCE AND AMPLE LOW LEVEL
INSTABILITY WILL SUPPORT AN ABOVE AVERAGE CHANCE FOR THUNDERSTORMS
DURING MONDAY.,,WITH CONVECTION COVERAGE/INTENSITY PEAKING DURING
THE AFTERNOON/EVENING HOURS. WITHIN AN UNSTABLE/WEAKLY SHEARED
ENVIRONMENT...ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS MAY PRODUCE DAMAGING
MICROBURSTS AND HAIL MONDAY AFTERNOON/EVENING. SLIGHTLY STRONGER
LOW/MID LEVEL WIND FIELDS MAY SUPPORT A GREATER POTENTIAL FOR
MULTICELL THUNDERSTORM ORGANIZATION MONDAY.

THE UPPER LEVEL TROUGH WILL PERSIST THROUGH THE PERIOD. THIS FEATURE
WILL PUSH A BROAD SURFACE BOUNDARY INTO THE VICINITY BY TUESDAY...
THEN...THE SURFACE BOUNDARY IS PROGGED TO STALL THEN WEAKEN OVER OR
CLOSE TO THE REGION...ON THE PERIPHERY OF THE RIDGE HOLDING GROUND
SE OF THE AREA...THROUGH THE REST OF THE WEEK. THIS REGIME SHOULD
COMBINE WITH DIURNAL SEA BREEZE CONVERGENCE TO SUPPORT AT LEAST
SCATTERED CONVECTION...ESPECIALLY DURING THE AFTERNOON AND EVENING
HOURS EACH DAY.

&&

.AVIATION /18Z SATURDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
MULTIPLE THUNDERSTORMS WILL IMPACT BOTH TERMINALS THIS AFTERNOON...
PRODUCING PERIODS OF VISIBILITY 1/2SM OR LESS...MVFR OR LOWER
CEILINGS AND STRONG WIND GUSTS. WILL AMEND AS NEEDED AS NEAR TERM
CONVECTIVE TRENDS BECOME EVIDENT.

AFTER SHOWERS/THUNDERSTORMS DECREASE IN COVERAGE THIS EVENING...
CLOUD COVER SHOULD PREVENT SIGNIFICANT FOG FROM DEVELOPING. 18Z
TAFS INDICATE MVFR VISIBILITY TOWARD DAYBREAK. IF CLOUDS
BREAK...IFR OR LOWER CONDITIONS COULD DEVELOP.

EXTENDED AVIATION OUTLOOK...OUTSIDE POSSIBLE MVFR OR
LOWER CONDITIONS WITHIN SCATTERED MAINLY AFTERNOON AND EVENING
THUNDERSTORMS...AND BRIEFLY ASSOCIATED WITH FOG AROUND
DAYBREAK...VFR CONDITIONS WILL PREVAIL THROUGH THE PERIOD.

&&

.MARINE...
WEAK PRESSURE GRADIENT WILL REMAIN OVER THE COASTAL WATERS
TODAY...ALLOWING THE SEABREEZE TO DOMINATE THE SURFACE WINDS
THROUGH THE AFTERNOON. ADJUSTED WIND DIRECTION FORECASTS TO
ACCOUNT FOR ONGOING TRENDS. OTHERWISE...CONDITIONS WILL REMAIN
FAVORABLE FOR STRONG THUNDERSTORMS WITH GUSTY WINDS...HAIL AND
PERHAPS EVEN WATERSPOUTS. OUTSIDE STRONG/SEVERE
THUNDERSTORMS...WINDS/SEAS WILL REMAIN WELL BELOW HEADLINE
CRITERIA.

A WEAK SURFACE LOW WILL DROP SOUTHEAST TOWARD THE FORECAST AREA
TONIGHT THROUGH THE WEEKEND. HAVE PREFERRED THE SLOWER GFS
SOLUTION...WHICH KEEPS THE ASSOCIATED SURFACE BOUNDARY TO THE
NORTH UNTIL MONDAY NIGHT.

THE PRESSURE GRADIENT WILL INCREASINGLY TIGHTEN OVER THE COASTAL
WATERS TONIGHT THROUGH MONDAY NIGHT...REFLECTED IN MODEL BOUNDARY
LAYER WIND FIELDS. TYPICAL DIURNAL SEABREEZE PATTERN WILL STILL
CONTINUE DURING THIS PERIOD...HOWEVER EXPECT NOCTURNAL SURGES AND
AFTERNOON SEABREEZE PUSH TO BE STRONGER SUNDAY AND MONDAY AS A
RESULT. AT THIS POINT HAVE KEPT WINDS AND SEAS BELOW ANY ADVISORY
CRITERIA...BUT CANNOT RULE OUT A POSSIBLE SCEC IN THE OFFSHORE
WATERS AND CHARLESTON HARBOR SUNDAY OR MONDAY. OTHERWISE...WINDS
AND SEAS ARE EXPECTED TO REMAIN BELOW HEADLINE CRITERIA THROUGH
MIDWEEK.

TIDES...ASTRONOMICAL HIGH TIDES WILL NEED TO BE WATCHED THIS EVE
SHOULD HEAVY RAINS BE ONGOING DURING THE HIGH TIDE AROUND 8 AND 9
PM. THIS COULD RESULT IN SHALLOW COASTAL FLOODING CONCERNS GIVEN
RECENT LEVELS A LITTLE HIGHER THAN PREDICTED.
