AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE CHARLESTON SC
930 PM EDT SAT MAY 5 2007

.SHORT TERM /TONIGHT/...CONVECTION HAS BEEN ABSENT ACROSS THE AREA
MOST OF THE DAY...BUT FINALLY SOME STRONG/SEVERE STORMS ARE
APPROACHING THE GA COUNTIES FROM THE WEST.  OUR CWA HAS BEEN ON THE
EDGE OF CONVECTION ALL DAY WITH THE INSTABILITY NOSING IN FROM THE
SW.  NUMBERS WILL START TO DECREASE OVER THE NEXT SEVERAL HOURS AS
THE SUN HAS SET...BUT GOOD FORCING OVER THE SOUTHERN APPALACHIANS
WILL GIVE ENOUGH LIFT TO SUSTAIN THE CONVECTION FOR AT LEAST ANOTHER
FEW HOURS.  MORE SHOWERY TYPE CONVECTION WILL BE LIKELY OVER THE SC
ZONES THE NEXT FEW HOURS AS MAIN LIFT WITH SHORT WAVE MOVES ACROSS
THE AREA.  NOT OUT OF THE QUESTION THAT SOME THUNDER COULD DEVELOP
AS INSTABILITY MOVES IN FROM THE SW.  FOR THAT REASON WILL LEAVE
MENTION OF THUNDER IN THE FORECAST FOR SC.  NO MAJOR CHANGES TO
WINDS OR TEMPS.

&&

.MARINE...NO REASON TO UPDATE ANYTHING AS ONGOING FORECAST LOOKS
GOOD.  LIGHT NE AND E WINDS RIGHT NOW WILL BEGIN TO SHIFT BY MORNING
AS LOW PRESSURE TAKES SHAPE OFF THE COAST.

&&

.AVIATION /02Z-00Z/...SOME THICKER MID AND HIGH CLOUDS WILL CONTINUE
MOVING EAST TOWARD THE TERMINALS.  LOOK FOR SOME LOW CLOUDS TO
DEVELOP ONCE AGAIN TONIGHT AS BOUNDARY LAYER COOLS AND ONSHORE FLOW
PROVIDES SUFFICIENT MOISTURE.  LOOK FOR SOME IFR CONDITIONS TO
PERSIST THROUGH THE PREDAWN HOURS BUT QUICKLY IMPROVE BY MID MORNING
AS WIND SPEEDS INCREASE AND MIXING IN THE BOUNDARY LAYER HELPS TO
RAISE CIGS.  SPEEDS WILL GRADUALLY INCREASE DURING THE DAY AS LOW
PRESSURE DEVELOPS OFF THE COAST.

&&

.CHS WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
GA...NONE.
SC...LAKE WIND ADVISORY FROM SUNDAY AFTERNOON UNTIL TUESDAY
     MORNING FOR LAKE MOULTRIE SCZ045.
MARINE...SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY FROM SUNDAY EVENING UNTIL WEDNESDAY
     MORNING FOR AMZ352-354.
