AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE CHARLESTON SC
413 PM EDT WED AUG 20 2008

.SYNOPSIS...
TROPICAL CYCLONE FAY WILL REMAIN SOUTH OF THE REGION THIS WEEK...
PUSHED SLOWLY TOWARD THE WEST-NORTHWEST BY STRONG HIGH PRESSURE
CENTERED NORTH OF THE REGION. THE REMNANTS OF FAY MAY MEANDER OVER
THE SOUTHEAST THIS WEEKEND THROUGH THE MIDDLE OF NEXT WEEK.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM THURSDAY MORNING/...
MOIST ONSHORE FLOW BETWEEN TROPICAL STORM FAY ADRIFT SOUTH OF THE
REGION AND STRONG HIGH PRESSURE TO THE NORTH WILL CONTINUE TO PUSH
SHOWERS AND OCCASIONAL THUNDERSTORMS INTO THE REGION. TAPERED POPS
FROM LIKELY/CATEGORICAL WITHIN DEEPER MOISTURE ACROSS THE
SOUTH...TO SLIGHT CHANCE/CHANCE WITHIN A DRIER REGIME WELL INLAND.
ALSO...THE TIGHT SURFACE PRESSURE GRADIENT WILL MAINTAIN
PERSISTENT EAST TO NORTHEAST WINDS ACROSS THE REGION...WITH GUSTY
WINDS CONTINUING AT THE COAST.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 AM THURSDAY MORNING THROUGH FRIDAY/...
AS HIGH PRESSURE PUSHES FAY TOWARD THE WEST-NORTHWEST THURSDAY
AND FRIDAY...THE EXTREMELY MOIST EASTERLY FLOW WILL CONTINUE
TO PUSH SHOWERS AND OCCASIONAL GUSTY THUNDERSTORMS ONSHORE
THROUGH THE PERIOD. EVEN AFTER THE REMNANTS OF FAY ADVANCE WELL
SOUTHWEST OF THE REGION...DEEP LAYER MOISTURE AND ASSOCIATED
AREAS OF PRECIPITATION WILL CONTINUE TO PUSH ONSHORE THROUGH AT
LEAST FRIDAY.

POPS REMAIN TAPERED FROM LIKELY/CATEGORICAL SOUTH TO CHANCE NORTH
THROUGH THE PERIOD. THESE POPS AND ASSOCIATED QPF FIELDS MAY
REQUIRE ADJUSTMENTS IN FUTURE FORECASTS.

LAKE WINDS...WITHIN THE TIGHTENING GRADIENT BETWEEN HIGH PRESSURE
SINKING S OVER THE MID ATLC STATES AND TS FAY...SUSTAINED WIND
SPEEDS OVER LAKE MOULTRIE WILL LIKELY REACH THE 20 KT AREA MAINLY
LATE TMRW MRNG THROUGH TMRW EVE. HAVE OPTED TO RAISE A LAKE WIND
ADVY FOR LAKE MOULTRIE TO ADVERTISE THESE CONDITIONS.

&&

.LONG TERM /FRIDAY NIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
THE REMNANTS OF FAY MAY PERSIST OVER THE SOUTHEAST US THIS WEEKEND
THROUGH THE MIDDLE OF NEXT WEEK. THIS FEATURE AND A CONTINUED
MOIST ONSHORE FLOW WILL SUPPORT ISOLATED TO SCATTERED SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS THROUGH THE PERIOD. 12Z GUIDANCE...ESPECIALLY THE
GFS...SUGGESTS THAT HIGH PRESSURE WILL ATTEMPT TO EXPAND INTO THE
REGION...PUSHING DEEPER MOISTURE INLAND AND REDUCING COVERAGE OF
PRECIPITATION ACROSS THE REGION. HOWEVER...COMPLETED ONLY MINOR
ADJUSTMENTS TO ONGOING FORECASTS.

&&

.AVIATION /20Z WEDNESDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...
THE OUTER RAIN BANDS ASSOCIATED WITH TS FAY WILL STREAM ACROSS BOTH
KCHS AND KSAV THROUGH THIS EVE AND OVERNIGHT TNGT. EXPECT VSBYS AND
CIGS TO GENERALLY BOUNCE BETWEEN VFR TO MVFR...WITH OCNL BOUTS OF
IFR POSSIBLE WITHIN POCKETS OF HVY RAIN. HAVE HANDLED THIS WITH
MAINLY TEMPO GROUPS THROUGHOUT THE NIGHT ESPECIALLY AT KSAV AS THEY
HAVE THE HIGHEST POTENTIAL FOR PRECIPITATION WITH THE CENTER OF FAY
STAYING TO THE SOUTH. WILL CONTINUE TO MONITOR THE TRENDS AND WILL
AMEND AS NECESSARY. ALSO EXPECT GUSTY WINDS TO AT LEAST 20 TO 25
KNOTS AT BOTH TERMINALS FOR MOST OF THE TAF PERIOD.

EXTENDED AVIATION OUTLOOK...DEPENDING UPON THE EVOLUTION OF TS
FAY...THE TERMINALS COULD EXPERIENCE MORE PROLONGED PERIODS OF MVFR
TO IFR CONDITIONS THROUGH SATURDAY. CONDITIONS LOOK TO IMPROVE TO
PREVAILING VFR LEVELS BY SUNDAY.

&&

.MARINE...
SOLID ONSHORE FLOW BETWEEN THE NRN FRINGES OF TS FAY AND HIGH
PRESSURE TO THE N HAVE RESULTED IN A SIGNIFICANT RISE IN SEAS AT ALL
AREA BUOYS. WAVES HAVE RISEN TO 8 FT AT 41004...41008 AND THE
SABSOON TOWERS SO HAVE NUDGED UP WAVE HEIGHTS SLIGHTLY IN THE
OVERNIGHT HOURS THROUGH TMRW TO REFLECT THE HIGHER WAVE HEIGHTS
BEING MAINTAINED UNTIL TS FAY TURNS TO THE WNW. IN ADDITION...SPEEDS
HAVE GRADUALLY INCREASED SO SOLID SCA LEVEL SPEEDS ARE BEING
EXPERIENCED OVER ALL MARINE ZONES...INCLUDING CHAS HARBOR. WITH
SPEEDS ONLY EXPECTED TO INCREASE THROUGH THE OVERNIGHT HOURS INTO
TMRW...AM OPTING TO UPGRADE THE THE TS WATCHES OVER THE GA WATERS TO
TS WARNINGS. THE SC WATERS LOOK TO HAVE SUSTAINED WIND SPEEDS
REMAINING BELOW SCA LEVELS AND GUSTS NOT FREQUENT ENOUGH TO WARRANT
HEADLINES HIGHER THAN SCA /EITHER GALES OR TS WARNINGS/.

CONFIDENCE IS GROWING THAT THERE WILL BE LITTLE NWD PROGRESSION OF
TS FAY BEFORE IT MAKES ITS TURN...BUT THE GRADIENT WIND WILL PERSIST
THROUGH AT LEAST FRI BEFORE CONDITIONS SETTLE BACK DOWN. THERE MAY
BE A FEW MORE TRANSITIONS IN HEADLINES...ESP OVER THE GA WATERS...
BEFORE ALL HEADLINES END UP BEING REMOVED. CONDITIONS WILL GRADUALLY
IMPROVE OVER THE WEEKEND AS HIGH PRESSURE RETURNS WHILE FAY DEPARTS.
WINDS WILL THEN REMAIN AOB 15 KT WITH SEAS AOB 5 FT EARLY NEXT WEEK.

LAKE WINDS...WITHIN THE TIGHTENING GRADIENT BETWEEN HIGH PRESSURE
SINKING S OVER THE MID ATLC STATES AND TS FAY...SUSTAINED WIND
SPEEDS OVER LAKE MOULTRIE WILL LIKELY REACH THE 20 KT AREA MAINLY
LATE TMRW MRNG THROUGH TMRW EVE. HAVE OPTED TO RAISE A LAKE WIND
ADVY FOR LAKE MOULTRIE TO ADVERTISE THESE CONDITIONS.

&&

.HYDROLOGY...
WIDESPREAD/PERSISTENT HEAVY RAIN DIRECTLY ASSOCIATED WITH TROPICAL
STORM FAY WILL REMAIN SOUTH OF THE REGION THROUGH FRIDAY...MITIGATING
THE POTENTIAL FOR WIDESPREAD/SIGNIFICANT FLOODING ACROSS SOUTHERN
COUNTIES. HOWEVER... WITHIN THE MOIST ONSHORE FLOW REGIME OVER THE
REGION...COVERAGE/ INTENSITY OF SHOWERS HAS REMAINED FAIRLY
IMPRESSIVE WEDNESDAY...AND A SIMILAR REGIME WITH PWATS APPROACHING
2.5 INCHES SHOULD PERSIST THROUGH FRIDAY. GIVEN THE POTENTIAL FOR
TRAINING OF RAIN BANDS FEATURING RAINFALL RATES EXCEEDING ONE INCH
PER HOUR...THE THREAT FOR AT LEAST LOCALIZED FLASH FLOODING WILL
CONTINUE THROUGH FRIDAY. THUS...CONTINUED THE ONGOING FLASH FLOOD
WATCH FOR COUNTIES ALONG AND SOUTH OF INTERSTATE 16...AND EXPANDED
THE WATCH TO INCLUDE THE NEXT TIER OF COUNTIES TO THE NORTH...TO
COASTAL COLLENTON COUNTY. FARTHER NORTH...LESSER COVERAGE/PERSISTENCE
