AT 627 PM EDT...NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE DOPPLER RADAR CONTINUED TO 
INDICATE A LARGE AREA OF SLOW MOVING THUNDERSTORMS CAPABLE OF 
PRODUCING EXTREMELY HEAVY RAIN EXTENDING FROM PORTIONS OF EDISTO 
ISLAND EAST TO ROCKVILLE AND SEABROOK ISLAND. RADAR ESTIMATES 
BETWEEN 3 AND 5 INCHES OF RAIN HAS FALLEN IN THIS AREA SINCE 5 
PM...WITH THE HIGHEST AMOUNTS FALLING ON SEABROOK ISLAND. THIS IS 
LIKELY RESULTING IN SIGNIFICANT FLOODING IN SOME AREAS. AN 
ADDITIONAL 1 TO 3 INCHES OF RAIN COULD FALL ACROSS THE REGION

COVERS THE ROADWAY. FLOOD WATERS ARE USUALLY DEEPER THAN THEY 
APPEAR. JUST ONE FOOT OF FLOWING WATER IS POWERFUL ENOUGH TO SWEEP

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE CHARLESTON SC
352 PM EDT FRI AUG 1 2008

.SYNOPSIS...
A WEAK BOUNDARY AND UPPER TROUGH WILL DROP TOWARD THE AREA
TODAY...LINGERING TONIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY. UPPER LEVEL HIGH
PRESSURE WILL BUILD OVER THE AREA MONDAY THROUGH MUCH OF NEXT
WEEK.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...
SHORTWAVE TROUGH CONTINUES TO DROP SOUTHEAST INTO THE CAROLINAS
THIS AFTERNOON. WATER VAPOR IMAGERY SHOWS A SWATH OF DRY AIR ON
THE UPSTREAM SIDE OF THE TROUGH...WHILE DEEP LAYER MOISTURE
LINGERS ACROSS COASTAL SOUTH CAROLINA AND GEORGIA. SEABREEZE
REMAINS PINNED TO THE COAST THIS HOUR WITHIN MODERATE WEST-
SOUTHWEST LOW LEVEL FLOW. EXPECT CONVECTIVE ACTIVITY TO BE
RELATIVELY SPARSE FOR THE NEXT FEW HOURS...UNTIL REMNANT CAP IS
OVERCOME AND SEABREEZE PROGRESSION PROVIDES A BETTER FOCUS.

12Z MODEL CONTINUE TO BRING WELL-DEFINED VORT ENERGY THROUGH THE
FORECAST AREA DURING THE REMAINDER OF THE AFTERNOON AND EVENING.
MESOANALYSIS SHOWS THAT MODERATE INSTABILITY HAS DEVELOPED...WITH
CAPE VALUES ABOVE 3000 J/KG AND LIFTED INDICES DOWN TO -5. SHORTWAVE
ACTIVITY IN THE VICINITY AND THE DELAYED SEABREEZE PROGRESSION
SHOULD BE SUFFICIENT TO SPARK SCATTERED CONVECTION ACROSS THE
FORECAST AREA WITHIN THE NEXT FEW HOURS.

CONSIDERING THE LINGERING DEEP MOISTURE...SLOW MOVING MULTICELL
CLUSTERS THAT DEVELOP COULD PRODUCE EXCESSIVE RAINFALL AND CREATE
LOCALIZED FLOODING HAZARDS. WILL ALSO NEED TO MONITOR THE PROGRESSION
OF MID LEVEL DRY AIR THAT WILL BE PUSHING IN FROM THE NORTH. THIS
DEVELOPMENT COULD INCREASE WET DOWNBURST POTENTIAL...ESPECIALLY IN
THE NORTHERN FORECAST AREA. THE COMBINATION OF SYNOPTIC FORCING
FROM THE SHORTWAVE TROUGH AND ASSOCIATED WEAK SURFACE BOUNDARY...AS
WELL AS DIURNAL SEABREEZE FORCING AND INSTABILITY...STILL SUPPORTS
DECENT CONVECTIVE COVERAGE THROUGH EARLY EVENING. WILL MAINTAIN
HIGH CHANCE POPS RANGING FROM 40 TO 50 PERCENT DURING THE AFTERNOON
AND EARLY EVENING HOURS. WILL ALSO CONTINUE TO MENTION THE POTENTIAL
FOR ISOLATED SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS TODAY...WITH THE MAIN HAZARDS
DAMAGING WINDS AND EXCESSIVE LIGHTNING.

EXPECT SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS TO DIMINISH IN COVERAGE AND INTENSITY
AFTER SUNSET. HAVE INDICATED A DECREASING POP TREND FROM NORTHWEST
TO SOUTHEAST OVERNIGHT...AS SOME WEAK CONVECTION COULD FOLLOW THE
SHORTWAVE ACTIVITY AND RIBBON OF DEEP MOISTURE SLIPPING SOUTHWARD.

&&

.SHORT TERM /SATURDAY/...
WEAK SHORTWAVE TROUGH ALOFT WILL LINGER OVER THE SOUTHEAST STATES
ON SATURDAY. BOTH GFS AND NAM DEPICT A MESOSCALE CONVECTIVE SYSTEM
WITHIN STRONGER VORT ENERGY JUST TO THE SOUTH OF THE FORECAST AREA
ON SATURDAY. FURTHER TO THE NORTH...NEGATIVE VORT ADVECTION AND
DRIER AIR LINGER ACROSS SOUTHEAST SOUTH CAROLINA AND GEORGIA.
THUS CONTINUE TO INDICATE POPS SLIGHTLY BELOW CLIMATOLOGY FOR
SATURDAY. HAVE FORECASTED ONLY SLIGHT CHANCE POPS OVER MOST OF
THE AREA...INCREASING TO A 30 PERCENT CHANCE IN THE SOUTHERN MOST
GEORGIA COUNTIES CLOSEST TO THE SHORTWAVE ENERGY AND DEEPER
MOISTURE. ANY SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ARE EXPECTED TO BE DRIVEN
MAINLY BY THE SEABREEZE AND MESOSCALE BOUNDARIES...AS THE
SEABREEZE SHOULD DEVELOP EARLIER ON SATURDAY COMPARED TO THE PAST
FEW DAYS.

HOT AND HUMID CONDITIONS ARE THE MAIN CONCERN FOR SATURDAY...AS THE
AFTERNOON TEMPERATURE AND DEWPOINT COMBINATION RESULTS IN A
WIDESPREAD AREA OF 105 TO 108 HEAT INDICES IN THE SOUTH CAROLINA
COUNTIES. HIGH TEMPERATURES SHOULD REACH THE MID TO UPPER 90S AWAY
FROM THE COASTLINE...AND LESS CONVECTIVE COVERAGE ON SATURDAY
SUGGESTS THAT A CONTINUAL HEATING TREND WILL PERSIST INTO THE LATE
AFTERNOON HOURS. GEORGIA COUNTIES COULD SEE MORE CLOUD COVER AND A
BETTER CHANCE OF THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY...SO SLIGHTLY LOWER MAX
TEMPERATURES KEEP HEAT INDICES IN THE 100 TO 104 RANGE. WILL GO
AHEAD AN ISSUE A HEAT ADVISORY FOR ALL OF THE SOUTHEAST SOUTH
CAROLINA ZONES FROM NOON TO 7 PM ON SATURDAY. HOWEVER WILL NEED TO
MONITOR MIXING POTENTIAL...AS MID LEVEL DRY AIR APPARENT IN MODEL
SOUNDINGS COULD MIX DOWN AND CAUSE DEWPOINTS TO DROP BELOW
EXPECTED VALUES.

&&

.LONG TERM /SATURDAY NIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY/...
SATURDAY NIGHT THROUGH MONDAY...THE REGION WILL REMAIN UNDER AN
UPPER TROUGH/DIFFUSE DEFORMATION AXIS BETWEEN UPPER RIDGES OVER THE
SOUTHERN PLAINS AND THE ATLANTIC. THIS SHOULD SUPPORT A CONTINUED
ACTIVE CONVECTIVE REGIME...WITH AT LEAST SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS
FIRING OVER LAND/COASTAL WATERS ADJACENT TO LAND DURING THE
AFTERNOON/EARLY EVENING AND OVER COASTAL COUNTIES/COASTAL WATERS
DURING THE LATE NIGHT/EARLY MORNING HOURS.

SUNDAY AND MONDAY...HEAT ADVISORY CONDITIONS COULD DEVELOP FOR A FEW
HOURS EACH AFTERNOON AWAY FROM THE IMMEDIATE COAST. HOWEVER...EARLY
AFTERNOON THUNDERSTORM DEVELOPMENT COULD LIMIT THE COVERAGE/DURATION
OF HEAT ADVISORY CONDITIONS. WILL MENTION THE POTENTIAL FOR HEAT
INDICES AT LEAST 105F WITHIN THE HAZARDOUS WEATHER OUTLOOK.

THE SOUTHERN PLAINS RIDGE WILL EXPAND EAST MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH
AT LEAST WEDNESDAY. THIS SHOULD ENSURE A COUPLE OF HOT DAYS...AND
THE STRONGER CAP MAY LIMIT COVERAGE/DURATION OF DIURNAL CONVECTION.
THIS REGIME MAY SET THE STAGE FOR HEAT ADVISORY CONDITIONS...WITH A
CHANCE FOR EXCESSIVE HEAT...TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY. WILL HIGHLIGHT
THIS POTENTIAL FOR HEAT INDICES 105F OR HIGHER WITHIN THE HAZARDOUS
WEATHER OUTLOOK. THEN...ANOTHER LONGWAVE UPPER TROUGH WILL TAKE SHAPE
ACROSS THE EAST/NORTHEAST. MEDIUM RANGE GUIDANCE DIFFERS CONCERNING
THE AMPLITUDE OF THIS TROUGH. HOWEVER...AT THE VERY LEAST THIS
TROUGH SHOULD PUSH THE CORE OF THE UPPER RIDGE SOUTH OF THE
REGION...WHILE PUSHING A SURFACE COLD FRONT INTO THE
APPALACHIANS/MID ATLANTIC. THIS SHOULD WEAKEN THE CAP AND ENHANCE
DEEP LAYER MOISTURE ACROSS THE REGION...PERHAPS FAVORING A MORE
ACTIVE CONVECTIVE REGIME THURSDAY AND FRIDAY.

DAYTIME HEAT ADVISORY CONDITIONS MAY CONTINUE THROUGH THE END OF THE
WEEK...BUT CONVECTION MAY LIMIT THE COVERAGE/DURATION OF THESE
CONDITIONS THURSDAY AND FRIDAY.

&&

.AVIATION /19Z FRIDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED TO REMAIN VFR FOR THE FIRST 24 HOUR
PERIOD. AFTERNOON THUNDERSTORMS ARE POSSIBLE OVER THE CHS
TERMINAL AS THE ATMOSPHERE REMAINS UNSTABLE. CONFIDENCE FOR
THUNDERSTORMS REMAINS LOW AT THE SAV TERMINAL AS THE SEABREEZE IS
EXPECTED TO BE DELAYED ALONG THE COAST. IN GENERAL...WEST SOUTH
WEST FLOW WILL REMAIN AT OR BELOW 10 KNOTS AT BOTH TERMINALS THIS
AFTERNOON. WINDS WILL BECOME LIGHT FROM THE WEST TONIGHT. WINDS
WILL THEN BECOME WEST SOUTHWEST AGAIN LATE TOMORROW MORNING AT
BOTH TERMINALS AND REMAIN AT OR BELOW 10 KNOTS.

EXTENDED AVIATION OUTLOOK...PATCHY MVFR VSBYS EARLY SUNDAY
MORNING WITH MAYBE A FEW LOW CLOUDS. OTHERWISE...GENERALLY VFR
CONDITIONS WITH GRADUALLY LOWERING CHANCES OF DIURNAL TSTMS BY
EARLY IN THE WEEK.

&&

.MARINE...
TIGHTENED PRESSURE GRADIENT BETWEEN AN INLAND TROUGH/SURFACE
BOUNDARY AND ATLANTIC HIGH PRESSURE TO THE SOUTHEAST WILL MAINTAIN
WINDS AROUND 15 KT IN THE NEARSHORE WATERS AND 15 TO 20 KT IN THE
OUTER WATERS OVERNIGHT. GRADIENT WILL REMAIN TIGHT ON
SATURDAY...ENHANCING THE AFTERNOON SEABREEZE CIRCULATION. HAVE
THUS CONTINUED TO INDICATE SOUTHWEST WINDS INCREASING TO 15 TO 20
KT BY LATE AFTERNOON ACROSS ALL MARINE ZONES.

VIGOROUS SEA BREEZE CIRCULATIONS EACH AFTERNOON/EARLY EVENING...AND
NOCTURNAL SURGING OF S/SW FLOW...MAY SUPPORT PERIODS OF SMALL
CRAFT ADVISORY/NEAR SCA WINDS DURING THE AFTERNOON AND NIGHTTIME
HOURS INTO THE MIDDLE OF NEXT WEEK.

&&

.CHS WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
GA...NONE.
SC...HEAT ADVISORY FROM 12 PM TO 7 PM EDT SATURDAY FOR SCZ040-
