AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE CHARLESTON SC
414 PM EDT SAT AUG 11 2007

.SYNOPSIS...
AN UPPER LEVEL RIDGE OF HIGH PRESSURE WILL REMAIN WEST OF THE AREA
THROUGH NEXT WEEK. A COLD FRONT WILL MOVE THROUGH THE AREA TONIGHT WITH
WEAK HIGH PRESSURE RETURNING FOR NEXT WEEK.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM SUNDAY MORNING/...
NUMEROUS SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS HAVE DEVELOPED THIS AFTERNOON
ACROSS THE MIDLANDS OF SOUTH CAROLINA AND EAST CENTRAL GEORGIA AS
A WEAK SHORT WAVE DROPS SOUTH ACROSS THE REGION. MOST OF THE
CONVECTION HAS DEVELOPED ALONG A WEAK SURFACE TROUGH...BUT OUTFLOW
FROM EARLIER CONVECTION OVER THE COASTAL WATERS HAS ALSO AIDED IN
CONVECTIVE DEVELOPMENT OVER PORTIONS OF SOUTHEAST GEORGIA.
INSTABILITY REMAINS COPIOUS...WITH SPC MESOANALYSIS DEPICTING CAPE
VALUES IN EXCESS OF 5000 J/KG ACROSS PARTS OF EAST CENTRAL AND
SOUTHEAST GEORGIA AS WELL AS INTERIOR SOUTHEAST SOUTH CAROLINA DUE
TO DEWPOINTS AROUND 80. WIND FIELDS ALOFT ARE RATHER WEAK...BUT
WATER VAPOR IMAGERY SHOWS DRY AIR IN THE MID LEVELS OF THE
ATMOSPHERE WHICH COULD RESULT IN A DAMAGING WIND THREAT WITH THE
STRONGEST STORMS AND THEIR ASSOCIATED OUTFLOWS. THE WEAK WIND
FIELD WILL ALSO RESULT IN SLOW STORM MOTIONS WITH A THREAT FOR
LOCALLY HEAVY RAINFALL. CONTINUOUS LIGHTNING IS ALSO A SIGNIFICANT
THREAT WITH ANY CONVECTION THROUGH THIS EVENING. WILL CONTINUE TO
HIGHLIGHT THE SEVERE WEATHER POTENTIAL THROUGH THIS EVENING. THE
PRECIPITATION SHOULD DIMINISH BEHIND A COLD FRONT AS IT DROPS SOUTH
ACROSS THE FORECAST AREA LATER TONIGHT.

HEAT INDEX VALUES HAVE NOT REACHED EXCESSIVE HEAT WARNING CRITERIA
/115 DEGREES/ IN SOUTHEAST SOUTH CAROLINA THIS AFTERNOON...AND WILL FALL
BELOW CRITERIA ACROSS INLAND PORTIONS OF SOUTHEAST GEORGIA DUE TO
THE CONVECTION. WILL THEREFORE DOWNGRADE THE WARNING TO A HEAT
ADVISORY IN THESE AREAS THROUGH 9 PM...BUT KEEP THE WARNING GOING
FOR THE REST OF SOUTHEAST GEORGIA. TEMPERATURES TONIGHT WILL FALL
INTO THE MID AND UPPER 70S.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 AM SUNDAY MORNING THROUGH SUNDAY NIGHT/...
THE COLD FRONT WILL DISSIPATE SOUTH OF THE AREA ON SUNDAY. THERE
WILL BE ENOUGH OF AN AIRMASS CHANGE TO ALLOW HIGHS TO ONLY GET
INTO THE LOWER TO MID 90S. THESE TEMPERATURES COMBINED WITH
DEWPOINTS IN THE LOWER TO MID 70S WILL RESULT IN HEAT INDEX VALUES
OF 100-105 IN THE TRI-COUNTY AREA...AND AROUND 105 ELSEWHERE.
SINCE THESE VALUES ARE ONLY MARGINAL...WILL NOT ISSUE A HEAT
ADVISORY AT THIS TIME FOR SUNDAY...ALTHOUGH ONE MAY BE ISSUED FOR
A PORTION OF THE AREA WITH LATER FORECASTS. ISOLATED CONVECTION IS
POSSIBLE SUNDAY AFTERNOON INTO SUNDAY EVENING...ALTHOUGH SCATTERED
COVERAGE IS POSSIBLE IN FAR SOUTHERN PORTIONS OF THE FORECAST AREA
CLOSER TO THE DISSIPATING FRONTAL BOUNDARY.

&&

.LONG TERM /MONDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/...
THE FCST AREA WILL REMAIN ON THE ERN PERIPHERY OF THE MID AND UPPER
RIDGE THAT HAS RETROGRADED TO THE W EARLY IN THE WEEK...AND THE LONG
WAVE TROUGH OVER THE WRN ATLC. AT THE SURFACE...THE REMNANTS OF THE
COOL FRONT WILL DISSIPATE NEAR OR S OF THE AREA MON...WITH A WEAK
SURFACE TROUGH TO MOVE THROUGH MON NIGHT...WITH A WEAK PRES PATTERN
TO DEVELOP TUE.

FOR THE MID AND LATTER HALF OF THE WEEK...THE RIDGE WILL BEGIN TO
BUILD E AGAIN WITH SLOWLY RISING HEIGHTS...WHILE THE ATLC RIDGE AT
THE SURFACE AND LOW LEVELS WILL GRADUALLY MAKE ITS RETURN ACROSS THE
REGION.

FOCUS FOR CONVECTION DURING MUCH OF THE WEEK LOOKS TO BE THE SEA
BREEZE...SO AT THIS TIME WE ARE NOT FORECASTING ANYTHING MORE THAN
SLIGHT CHANCE TO CHANCE POPS. HOWEVER...A WEAK SHORT WAVE AND
SURFACE TROUGH LOOKS TO MOVE THROUGH FROM THE NW MON NIGHT...AND
COULD ENHANCE PRECIP CHANCES SHOULD IT MOVE IN BEFORE SUNSET MON
EVE. THIS WILL NEED TO BE WATCHED IN LATER FCSTS.

TEMPS DO NOT LOOK TO BE AS HIGH AS THE RECENT HOT WX...BUT STILL
ABOVE NORMAL LEVELS THROUGHOUT THE WEEK. LOOK FOR MAX TEMPS TO CLIMB
INTO THE MID AND UPPER 90S EACH AFTN...BUT THE SEA BREEZE WILL HOLD
COASTAL TEMPS DOWN CLOSER TO 90. NIGHT TIME MINS WILL GENERALLY BE
IN THE LOWER TO MIDDLE 70S...EXCEPT HIGHER ALONG THE SHORELINE.

WILL NEED TO KEEP AN EYE ON THE TROPICS NEXT WEEKEND...TO SEE WHAT
BECOMES OF THE STRONG WAVE THAT HAS RECENTLY MOVED OFF THE AFRICAN
COAST.

&&

.AVIATION /20Z SATURDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/...
MAINLY VFR CONDITIONS AT BOTH TERMINALS WITH BRIEF PERIODS OF
MVFR VSBYS DUE TO HAZE...ESPECIALLY AT KSAV. EXPECT SCATTERED
SHOWERS/THUNDERSTORMS THIS AFTERNOON INTO THE EVENING THUS HAVE
MENTION OF CB BEGINNING AROUND 21/22Z AT BOTH SITES. ALSO ADDED IN
VCSH AT 22Z TO SAVANNAH AS THE ATMOSPHERE SEEMS A BIT MORE
CONDUCIVE TO SHOWER ACTIVITY THERE THAN IN CHARLESTON.

EXTENDED AVIATION OUTLOOK...
MAINLY VFR CONDS ARE EXPECTED SUN THROUGH THU...WITH A CHANCE OF
SEEING VSBYS DROP TO MVFR OR IFR LEVELS DURING THE EARLY MRNG HRS
AND DURING AFTN/EVE CONVECTION.

&&

.MARINE...
A WEAK COLD FRONT WILL SLOWLY MOVE SOUTH ACROSS THE COASTAL WATERS
TONIGHT. TIGHTENING OF THE PRESSURE GRADIENT SOUTH OF THE FRONT
MAY KEEP WINDS IN THE 15 TO 20 KT RANGE IN THE OUTER GEORGIA
WATERS THIS EVENING. ELSEWHERE...WINDS HAVE DROPPED OFF FROM
EARLIER TODAY AND ALL SMALL CRAFT SHOULD EXERCISE CAUTION
HEADLINES WILL BE REMOVED. EXPECT A NORTHEAST SURGE TO DEVELOP
FOLLOWING THE PASSAGE OF THE FRONT LATE TONIGHT INTO SUNDAY
MORNING...WITH SOME MODELS INDICATING A STRONG LOW LEVEL WIND
FIELD DEVELOPING. INCREASING WINDS/SEAS MAY REQUIRE THE ISSUANCE
OF SMALL CRAFT SHOULD EXERCISE CAUTION HEADLINES IF NOT SMALL
CRAFT ADVISORIES IN SOME PLACES LATE TONIGHT OR SUNDAY.

NO MAJOR CONCERNS AT PRESENT FOR THE MARINE COMMUNITY THROUGH THE
WEEK...ALTHOUGH DEPENDING UPON THE STRENGTH AND TIMING OF THE
SURFACE TROUGH ASSOCIATED WITH THE SHORT WAVE EXPECTED MON
NIGHT...WE MAY NEED TO ADJUST SOME WIND FCSTS AT A LATER TIME.
THEREAFTER THE ATLC RIDGE WILL GRADUALLY MAKE IT RETURNS AND LOOKING
AT A MOSTLY SLY FLOW FOR TUE THROUGH THE END OF THE WEEK.

ALTHOUGH WE DO NEED TO WATCH FOR SOME ENHANCEMENT OF WINDS WITH THE
AFTN SEA BREEZE AND NOCTURNAL SURGES...FOR THE MOST PART WINDS WILL
REMAIN 15 KT OR LESS...WITH SEAS NO HIGHER THAN 3 OR 4 FT.
