AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE CHARLESTON SC
556 PM EDT MON JUL 14 2008

.SYNOPSIS...
A TROUGH OF LOW PRESSURE WILL GRADUALLY ADVANCE THROUGH THE
REGION TONIGHT...STALLING OVER OR CLOSE TO THE COASTAL WATERS
TUESDAY THROUGH MID WEEK AS HIGH PRES BUILDS TO THE NORTH.
AN AREA OF LOW PRESSURE MAY FORM ALONG THIS STALLED TROUGH AND
GRADUALLY PUSH BACK NORTH THROUGH FRI...BRINGING DEEPER MOISTURE
AND ADDITIONAL RAINFALL. THE LOW PRESSURE AREA EXITS AND HIGH
PRESSURE RETURNS FOR THE WEEKEND.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM TUESDAY MORNING/...
ADJUSTED POPS TONIGHT TO ACCOUNT FOR ONGOING PRECIPITATION TRENDS.
CLUSTERS OF THUNDERSTORMS WERE GENERALLY ADVANCING TOWARD THE
E/SE...AND PRECIPITATION COVERAGE WAS DECREASING ACROSS FAR INLAND
COUNTIES.

HIGH PWATS AND SLOW THUNDERSTORM MOVEMENT/CELL MERGERS MAY
CONTINUE TO SUPPORT LOCALLY EXCESSIVE RAINFALL AND
ISOLATED/BRIEF DAMAGING WET MICROBURSTS INTO THIS EVENING.

EVEN AS THUNDERSTORMS FOCUS FARTHER S/SE WITH TIME...THUNDERSTORM
COVERAGE AND INTENSITY WILL DIMINISH WITH DIURNAL STABILIZATION
THIS EVENING. HOWEVER...DUE TO THE GRADUAL S/SE ADVANCE OF THE SURFACE
TROUGH AND PERSISTENT DEEP LAYER MOISTURE...MAINTAINED THE MENTION
OF THUNDERSTORMS AND HEAVY RAIN ACROSS S/E COUNTIES WELL INTO
TONIGHT.

LOW LEVEL MOISTURE AND LIGHT WINDS IN THE WAKE OF THE SURFACE TROUGH
WILL SUPPORT AT LEAST PATCHY FOG LATE TONIGHT INTO TUESDAY
MORNING. THE POTENTIAL FOR MORE SIGNIFICANT FOG WILL REMAIN
LIMITED BY MID/HIGH LEVEL CLOUD COVER. IF CLOUDS THIN MORE RAPIDLY
THAN EXPECTED...AREAS OF DENSE FOG MAY DEVELOP WITHIN A COUPLE
HOURS EITHER SIDE OF DAYBREAK TUESDAY.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 AM TUESDAY MORNING THROUGH 6 PM TUESDAY/...
THE 12Z NAM/GFS SUGGEST THAT THE SYNOPTIC COLD FRONT WILL STALL
N/W OF THE REGION TUESDAY...THUS SURFACE DEWPOINTS WILL REMAIN
IN THE UPPER 60S TO MID 70S. HOWEVER...THE PREFRONTAL SURFACE
TROUGH WILL ADVANCE THROUGH MOST/ALL OF THE REGION BEFORE
STALLING. THE 12Z NAM PUSHES THE TROUGH JUST S/E OF THE COASTAL
WATERS...WITH MID LEVEL DRYING LIMITING MOST PRECIPITATION TO
ISOLATED/SCATTERED DIURNAL CONVECTION ALONG THE SEA BREEZE.
HOWEVER...THE 12Z GFS HOLDS THE TROUGH AND ASSOCIATED PLUME OF
DEEP LAYER MOISTURE OVER S/E COUNTIES...SUPPORTING GREATER
COVERAGE OF SHOWERS/THUNDERSTORMS JUST ABOUT ANY TIME THROUGH THE
DAY...WITH A DIURNAL MAXIMUM DURING THE AFTERNOON/EARLY EVENING.
PER AREA COLLABORATION...TRENDED TUESDAY POPS TOWARD THE MORE
PESSIMISTIC GFS...INTRODUCING CHANCE POPS ACROSS THE S 1/2 OF THE
FORECAST AREA FOR TUESDAY AFTERNOON.

&&

.LONG TERM /TUESDAY NIGHT THROUGH MONDAY/...
SLOW MOVING COLD FRONT WILL REACH THE SHORELINE TUE NIGHT AND
CONTINUE TO SLUGGISHLY MOVE OFFSHORE BY WED MRNG. SFC CONVERGENCE
WILL STILL BE PRESENT S OF THE SAVANNAH RIVER AND NEAR THE COAST SO
WILL KEEP HIGHEST POPS OVER COASTAL PORTIONS OF SE GA THEN TRENDING
LOWER W AND N FROM THERE...SUCH THAT BY THE EARLY MRNG HOURS THE
ONLY PRECIP SHOULD BE CONFINED TO WELL OFFSHORE AS THE FRONT LOSES
ITS INFLUENCE.

STARTING ON WED AND LASTING THROUGH FRI...THERE ARE MULTIPLE MODEL
SOLUTIONS WITH REGARDS TO POTENTIAL LOW PRESSURE DEVELOPMENT ALONG
THE STALLED FRONT S OF THE AREA. IN GENERAL AGREEMENT IS THE
FORMATION OF A LOW THAT LOOKS TO SLOWLY MOVE N FROM THE FLORIDA
PENINSULA INTO THE SOUTHEASTERN STATES. HOWEVER...THE DETAILS IN ITS
GENESIS LOCATION AND FOLLOWING MOVEMENT ARE IN HIGH DISAGREEMENT
AMONG THE MODELS. THE WRF/GFS/ECMWF/GEM ALL VARY ON WHICH SIDE OF
THE PENINSULA THE LOW FORMS AND ITS SUBSEQUENT TRACK AND TO ITS
STRENGTH WHICH LOOKS EERILY TROPICAL GIVEN THE SEASON. THE GFS IS
MOST BULLISH IN FORMING THE LOW ON THE ATLC SIDE AND MOVING IT N
INTO THE CHS CWFA WHILE THE NAM HOLDS IT WELL W...WHICH IS REFLECTED
IN THE MOS POPS. MAV MOS GIVES POPS IN THE 70S FOR WED-THU WHILE MET
IS IN THE LOW-MID CHC CATEGORY. FOR NOW...AM OPTING TO NOT MAKE TOO
MANY CHANGES ASIDE FROM THE GENERAL AGREEMENT THAT MOISTURE WILL BE
DEEPER AND THAT AN AREA OF LOW PRES WILL MOVE INTO THE SOUTHEAST
STATES THAT WILL INCREASE SFC CONVERGENCE...SO HAVE NUDGED POPS UP
SLIGHTLY IN THE WED-FRI TIME PERIOD BUT KEEPING POPS IN THE CHC
RANGE.

ONCE THIS LOW PRESSURE WAVE MOVES AWAY FROM THE AREA FRI NIGHT...A
WEAK SFC TROUGH WILL LINGER IN ITS WAKE OVER THE CAROLINAS THROUGH
THE WEEKEND. MOISTURE WILL NOT BE QUITE AS DEEP BUT WITH THE DIURNAL
SEABREEZE ALWAYS A PLAYER IN CONVECTION WILL KEEP 20/30 POPS IN
PLACE FOR THE WEEKEND.

TEMPS WILL BE HELD A BIT BELOW NORMAL THROUGH MIDWEEK WITH NUMEROUS
CLOUD/RAIN COMPLICATIONS EXPECTED. TOO MUCH UNCERTAINTY TO WORK OUT
SPECIFIC DETAILS BUT WILL HAVE HIGHS IN THE UPPER 80S TO LOWER 90S
WED-FRI. ONCE UPPER LEVEL RIDGING RETURNS AND THERE IS A SLIGHT
BULGE IN H5 HEIGHTS...MAX TEMPS WILL RETURN TO THE LOW-MID 90S OVER
THE WEEKEND. MIN TEMPS WILL CONTINUE TO RUN IN THE UPPER 60S TO
LOWER 70S.

&&

.AVIATION /22Z MONDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/...
INLAND THUNDERSTORMS MAY PUSH BACK INTO THE TERMINALS AT ANY TIME
THROUGH THIS EVENING. EXPECT AMENDMENTS AS DICTATED BY NEAR TERM
CONVECTIVE TRENDS. THEN...SHOWERS/THUNDERSTORMS MAY CONTINUE TO
DEVELOP...ESPECIALLY NEAR KSAV...WELL INTO THE NIGHT AS A SURFACE
TROUGH PUSHES E/SE INTO THE AREA.

LATER TONIGHT INTO EARLY TUESDAY...MVFR OR LOWER CONDITIONS MAY
DEVELOP AT BOTH TERMINALS. WITHIN THE LATEST TAFS...LIMITED
VISIBILITY TO 3-4SM...WITH SCT CLOUDS BLO 5 KFT AGL...DURING THE
9-13Z TIME FRAME. HOWEVER...IF MID/HIGH LEVEL CLOUDS THIN MORE
RAPIDLY THAN EXPECTED...SUB-IFR CONDITIONS COULD DEVELOP AT EITHER
LOCATION.

VFR CONDITIONS WILL RETURN TUESDAY MORNING. ISOLATED TO SCATTERED
THUNDERSTORMS MAY AGAIN DEVELOP ALONG THE SEA BREEZE TUESDAY
AFTERNOON...BUT CBS SHOULD NOT DEVELOP UNTIL AFTER 18Z AND ARE
THUS NOT INCLUDED WITHIN THE LATEST TAFS.

EXTENDED AVIATION OUTLOOK...OCNL MVFR OR LOWER CONDITIONS WILL
REMAIN POSSIBLE WITHIN MAINLY DIURNAL CONVECTION AND ALSO IN ANY
LATE NIGHT/MORNING FOG THROUGH THE WEEK.

&&

.MARINE...
LATEST BUOY OBSERVATIONS CONTINUE TO INDICATE 3-4 FT SWELLS WITH
AN AVERAGE 11-12 SECOND PERIOD...ORIGINATING FROM DISTANT
TROPICAL CYCLONE BERTHA. HAVE MAINTAINED 3 TO 4 FT SEAS ACROSS THE
COASTAL WATERS THROUGH TUESDAY.

THE SEA BREEZE WILL GIVE WAY TO A WEAK PRESSURE PATTERN THIS
EVENING...SUPPORTING A PERIOD OF VARIABLE WINDS 10 KNOTS OR LESS
ACROSS THE COASTAL WATERS. CONVECTION MAY GREATLY ALTER WIND
FIELDS THROUGH TONIGHT.

ALONG/NORTH OF THE SURFACE TROUGH...THE SURFACE PRESSURE GRADIENT
WILL TIGHTEN SOMEWHAT TUESDAY...AND E/NE WINDS WILL INCREASE TO
AVERAGE AT LEAST 10-15 KT. 15-20 KT WINDS ARE NOT OUT OF THE
QUESTION DUE TO SEA BREEZE ENHANCEMENT ON CHARLESTON HARBOR/WITHIN
NEAR SHORE WATERS TUESDAY AFTERNOON/EVENING.

THE WED-FRI TIME PERIOD HAS MANY UNCERTAINTIES SURROUNDING THE
POTENTIAL FORMATION OF A LOW PRES CENTER ALONG THE STALLED FRONT.
SOME MODELS HAVE THE LOW ON THE GULF SIDE OF FLORIDA WHILE OTHERS
HAVE IN ON THE ATLC SIDE...WITH THE GFS BEING ONE OF THE MEMBERS
THAT HAS IT ON THE ATLC SIDE. THE GFS THEN BRINGS THE LOW N...AND
THROUGH THE CHS MARINE AREA WHICH IS REFLECTED IN THE WW3 GUIDANCE.
THE WAVEWATCH IS CONTAMINATED BY THIS THINKING BY BRINGING 8 FT
WAVES INTO THE WATERS BETWEEN 20-60 NM OUT AND 4-6 FT WAVES TO THE
WATERS WITHIN 20 NM. GIVEN THE LOW CONFIDENCE IN ANY MODEL
SOLUTION...HAVE OPTED TO NUDGE SEAS UP A BIT TO REFLECT THE TREND OF
HAVING THE FRONT AND/OR LOW PRES AREA MOVE N FROM FLORIDA BUT CAP
SEAS AT 5 FT. WIND SPEEDS ARE ALSO CAPPED AT 15 KT.

HIGH PRES RETURNS BY THE WEEKEND...HELPING PUSH AWAY ANY POTENTIAL
AREA OF LOW PRES AND ALLOWING CONDITIONS TO REMAIN BELOW SCA LEVELS.

RIP CURRENTS...PARAMETERS ONCE AGAIN POINT TO A MODERATE RISK FOR
RIP CURRENTS TUESDAY...PRODUCED BY SMALL/LONG PERIOD SWELLS AND
A SYNOPTIC ONSHORE FLOW ENHANCED BY THE SEA BREEZE.

COULD STILL BE LOOKING AT AN ENHANCED RISK OF RIP CURRENTS FOR
SEVERAL DAYS THROUGHOUT THE WEEK. MODEST ONSHORE WINDS WILL
PREVAIL EACH AFTERNOON...AND AT LEAST SMALL SWELLS FROM SLOW
MOVING BERTHA MAY CONTINUE. IN ADDITION...WE WILL START TO
EXPERIENCE SOME ASTRONOMICAL INFLUENCES WITH THE FULL MOON EARLY
FRIDAY. THEREFORE...WE WILL MENTION AN ENHANCED RISK OF RIP
CURRENTS IN THE HWO INTO THE WEEKEND.
