AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE CHARLESTON SC
119 AM EDT MON JUN 2 2008

.SYNOPSIS...
A COLD FRONT WILL DROP INTO THE AREA EARLY TODAY...BEFORE STALLING
AND EVENTUALLY DISSIPATING ACROSS SOUTHEAST GEORGIA EARLY THIS
WEEK. ATLANTIC HIGH PRESSURE WILL THEN BUILD INTO THE REGION INTO
NEXT WEEKEND.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM THIS MORNING/...
THE PRIMARY BACKDOOR COLD FRONT IS STILL POSITIONED WELL NORTH OF
THE AREA...BUT WILL CONTINUE TO ADVANCE TOWARD THE AREA DURING
THE MORNING HOURS. A SHORT WAVE MOVING ACROSS GEORGIA EARLY THIS
MORNING WILL HELP KEEP SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS GOING ACROSS
SOUTHERN AND COASTAL PORTIONS OF THE FORECAST AREA. MOST OF THE
CONVECTIVE DEVELOPMENT WILL OCCUR ALONG LINGERING OUTFLOW
BOUNDARIES FROM EARLIER CONVECTION. THERE IS STILL ENOUGH
INSTABILITY IN PLACE FOR SOME STRONG THUNDERSTORMS TO
DEVELOP...ALTHOUGH IT APPEARS THAT SEVERE WEATHER THREAT HAS
ENDED FOR THE MOST PART. WILL INDICATE POPS RANGING FROM SLIGHT
CHANCE IN FAR NORTHWEST PORTIONS OF THE FORECAST AREA TO CHANCE
ELSEWHERE.

PLENTY OF DEBRIS CLOUDINESS AND THE SLOWER PROGRESSION OF THE
BACKDOOR COLD FRONT WILL ONLY ALLOW TEMPERATURES TO FALL INTO THE
LOWER 70S TO AROUND 70 IN MOST AREAS.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 AM THIS MORNING THROUGH 6 PM TODAY/...
A STRONG SHORT WAVE ALOFT WILL ALLOW A DECAYING BACKDOOR COLD
FRONT TO DROP INTO THE REGION MONDAY MORNING BEFORE BECOMING
WASHED OUT AND INTERMINGLED IN THE SEA BREEZE. SCATTERED SHOWERS
AND THUNDERSTORMS ARE EXPECTED AS THE FRONT AND SEA BREEZE
INTERACT AND COLLIDE WITH LINGERING OUTFLOW BOUNDARIES FROM
TODAY/S CONVECTION.

HIGHS WILL RANGE FROM AROUND 90 ACROSS THE CHARLESTON TRI-COUNTY
AREA TO THE LOWER 90S ACROSS THE REMAINDER OF THE FORECAST AREA.

&&

.LONG TERM /TONIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY/...
FEW CHANGES WERE MADE FROM MONDAY NIGHT ON AS THE 12Z GFS WAS NOT
AVAILABLE AND THE ECMWF WAS OLD.

&&

.AVIATION /05Z MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/...
CONVECTIVE COMPLEX WILL IMPACT KSAV BETWEEN 06-07Z...WITH MVFR OR
LOWER CONDITIONS POSSIBLE IN SHOWERS AND POSSIBLE THUNDERSTORMS.
OTHERWISE...MAINLY DEBRIS CLOUDINESS IS EXPECTED AT BOTH TERMINALS
THROUGH MUCH OF THE MORNING WITH VFR CONDITIONS TO PREVAIL.

A BACKDOOR COLD FRONT WILL DROP ACROSS THE AREA THIS MORNING INTO
EARLY THIS AFTERNOON...CAUSING WINDS TO VEER THROUGH MUCH OF THE
DAY. THE PROXIMITY OF THE FRONTAL BOUNDARY AND LINGERING OUTFLOW
BOUNDARIES WILL ALLOW FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF SCATTERED SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS THIS AFTERNOON. THE TAF/S WILL REFLECT VICINITY
SHOWERS AND A MENTION OF CB AT BOTH TERMINALS. WHILE VFR CONDITIONS
WILL GENERALLY PREVAIL...MVFR OR LOWER CONDITIONS ARE POSSIBLE IN
SHOWERS/THUNDERSTORMS.

EXTENDED AVIATION OUTLOOK...VFR CONDITIONS EXPECTED OUTSIDE OF
THUNDERSTORMS.

&&

.MARINE...
A BACKDOOR COLD FRONT WILL CONTINUE TO DROP TOWARD THE AREA
TONIGHT...BUT OUTSIDE OF ANY CONVECTION...EXPECT SOUTHWEST WINDS
TO CONTINUE THROUGH THE NIGHT. WIND SPEEDS COULD BE AS HIGH AS
15-20 KT AT TIMES...HIGHEST ACROSS THE OUTER GEORGIA WATERS. THE
GRADIENT SHOULD WEAKEN LATE TONIGHT...WITH WINDS SPEEDS
DIMINISHING THROUGHOUT. SEAS WILL REMAIN 4 FT OR LESS.

WIND DIRECTIONS STILL WILL BE TRICKY TO START THE DAY MON WITH THE
SURFACE FRONT NEAR THE SOUTH CAROLINA COAST AND WIND FIELDS LIKELY
CORRUPTED BY AMPLE OVERNIGHT CONVECTION. THE LOW LEVEL JET OVER
THE GEORGIA WATERS SHOULD WANE EARLY IN THE DAY AND SEAS WILL
BEGIN TO SUBSIDE. FLOW SHOULD BECOME ONSHORE ALL WATERS LATER
MON WITH SPEEDS 15 KT OR LESS.

TUE THROUGH THU...A SE TO S FLOW AROUND THE RIDGE WILL BE THE MAIN
FEATURE. SPEEDS OCNLY ENHANCED BY DIURNAL/PINCHING EFFECTS...BUT
MAINLY NOT DEVIATING FROM 5 KT EITHER SIDE OF 15 KT. SEAS BY THU
COULD INCREASE TO 4 OR 5 FT OVER GEORGIA WATERS WITH LONG FETCH.

&&

.CHS WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
GA...NONE.
SC...NONE.
MARINE...NONE.
