AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE CHARLESTON SC
345 PM EDT WED JUN 25 2008

.SYNOPSIS...
ATLANTIC HIGH PRESSURE WILL PREVAIL THROUGH FRIDAY...WHILE A TROUGH
OF LOW PRESSURE DEVELOPS OVER THE CAROLINAS. SURFACE TROUGH WILL REMAIN
NEAR OR NORTHWEST OF THE AREA THROUGH SUNDAY...WITH ATLANTIC SURFACE
RIDGE SHIFTING TO THE SOUTHEAST. A COOL FRONT LOOKS TO APPROACH EARLY
NEXT WEEK...AND WILL STALL OVER OR NEAR THE REGION THROUGH WEDNESDAY.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM THURSDAY MORNING/...
SHORTWAVE ACTIVITY CONTINUES TO PUSH INTO SOUTHERN GEORGIA THIS
AFTERNOON...DESPITE FAIRLY STRONG RIDGING ALOFT. AT THE
SURFACE....THE SEABREEZE HAS BEEN ABLE TO DEVELOP MUCH EARLIER
THAN YESTERDAY...A RESULT OF LIGHTER OFFSHORE FLOW AT LOW LEVELS AND
A MORE SOUTHWEST DIRECTIONAL COMPONENT. SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS
HAVE INITIATED ALONG THE SEABREEZE IN SOUTHEAST SOUTH CAROLINA AND
WITHIN MORE UNSTABLE AIR ACROSS SOUTHEAST GEORGIA. INSTABILITY IS
QUITE IMPRESSIVE THIS AFTERNOON...WITH 18Z CHS SOUNDING INDICATING
CAPE VALUES UP TO 3800 J/KG. THUS...ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS DO HAVE
THE POTENTIAL TO REACH SEVERE LEVELS IF ABLE TO BREAK THROUGH A
PERSISTENT CAP ALSO SEEN IN THE 18Z SOUNDING. MAIN THREAT WILL BE
DAMAGING WIND AND HAIL.

WILL MAINTAIN SLIGHT CHANCE POPS ACROSS THE FORECAST AREA THIS
AFTERNOON AND INTO THE EARLY EVENING HOURS. CONVECTION SHOULD
DISSIPATE WITH THE LOSS OF DAYTIME HEATING AND INSTABILITY. LOW
TEMPERATURES WILL DROP TO AROUND 70 DEGREES INLAND TO THE UPPER
70S ALONG THE COAST. PERSISTENT UPPER LEVEL ENERGY TO THE SOUTH
COULD KEEP A FEW TO SCATTERED MID LEVEL CLOUDS ACROSS SOUTHEAST
GEORGIA COUNTIES OVERNIGHT.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 AM THURSDAY MORNING THROUGH 6 PM THURSDAY/...
WEAK SHORTWAVE ENERGY WILL CONTINUE TO ROUND THE WESTERN PERIPHERY
OF THE UPPER LEVEL RIDGE ON THURSDAY...AS THE CENTER OF HIGH
PRESSURE ALOFT SLIPS FURTHER SOUTHEAST. A SURFACE TROUGH WILL
DEVELOP FROM THE MID ATLANTIC STATES SOUTHWARD INTO GEORGIA...PUSHING
THE ATLANTIC SURFACE HIGH FURTHER AWAY FROM THE COAST. BOTH GFS
AND NAM INDICATE INCREASING DEEP LAYER MOISTURE AND HIGHER PWAT
VALUES...AS WELL AS AFTERNOON DEWPOINTS SEVERAL DEGREES
WARMER THAN THE DAY BEFORE. THERE IS ENOUGH MODEL AGREEMENT AND
CONFIDENCE TO INCREASE SHOWER AND THUNDERSTORM POTENTIAL FOR
THURSDAY AFTERNOON INTO THE CHANCE CATEGORY INLAND FROM THE
SEABREEZE. SINCE THE SEABREEZE MAY BE THE KEY FORCING
MECHANISM...THERE IS LOWER CONFIDENCE IN THUNDERSTORM DEVELOPMENT
ALONG THE COAST...DEPENDING ON HOW QUICKLY THE SEABREEZE PUSHES
INLAND. HAVE THUS KEPT COASTAL LOCATIONS IN THE SLIGHT CHANCE
CATEGORY FOR THURSDAY AFTERNOON AND EVENING.

WEAKENING UPPER RIDGE WILL KEEP HIGH TEMPERATURES A DEGREE OR TWO
COOLER THAN PREVIOUS DAYS...RANGING FROM 94 TO 96 DEGREES AWAY
FROM THE COASTLINE.

&&

.LONG TERM /THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY/...
WEAK SHORT WAVE TO PUSH THROUGH THE AREA THURSDAY NIGHT...SO EXPECT
AFTN/EVENING CONVECTION TO TAKE A LITTLE LONGER THAN NORMAL TO WIND
DOWN...THUS WILL HOLD ONTO SLIGHT CHANCE OR CHANCE POPS THROUGH AT
LEAST MIDNIGHT. WHILE THERE CERTAINLY COULD BE A LITTLE FOG IN AREAS
THAT RECEIVED RAINFALL FROM THURSDAY...DUE TO CLOUD COVER AND TOO
MUCH MIXING IN THE BOUNDARY LAYER WE DO NOT SEE A NEED TO ADD TO THE
FORECAST AT THIS TIME. MIN TEMPS WILL FALL INTO THE LOWER-MID 70S.

ON FRIDAY...NVA LOOKS TO DEVELOP IN WAKE OF DEPARTING SHORT
WAVE...THUS OUR ATTENTION WILL TURN TO LOW LEVEL/SURFACE FEATURES
FOR ANY TRIGGERING MECHANISMS OF CONVECTION. THE TYPICAL SEA BREEZE
WILL BE ONE SUCH BOUNDARY...BUT ALSO A PERSISTENT TROUGH NEAR OR
JUST NW OF THE CWFA. WITH PWATS CLIMBING TO 2 INCHES OR GREATER
THERE IS CERTAINLY PLENTY OF MOISTURE. INSTABILITY IS MODEST WITH
1000-1500 J/KG OF SBCAPE AND LIFTED INDICES -3 OR -4. PLUS THERE IS
SOME INDICATIONS OF A SPEED MAX UPSTAIRS WITH 50-60 KT AT 250 MB.
HOWEVER...MID LEVEL LAPSE RATES ARE ONLY 5-5.5 DEGREES CELSIUS
DURING THIS TIME. THUS WE WILL GO WITH DIURNALLY DRIVEN
SHOWERS/TSTMS MAINLY IN THE CHANCE RANGE...HIGHEST INLAND AND OVER
SE GA. MAX TEMPS WILL REACH THE LOW-MID 90S AWAY FROM THE
BEACHES...AND THESE TEMPS ALONG WITH DEW POINTS IN THE UPPER
60S-LOWER 70S WILL RESULT IN HEAT INDICES AS HIGH AS 100-103
DEGREES. HOWEVER...THIS IS BELOW ANY HEAT ADVISORY CRITERIA WHICH
BEGINS AT 105 DEGREES.

A SHORT WAVE MAY SKIRT THE AREA ON SATURDAY...AND WITH LITTLE OVERALL
CHANGE TO THE SYNOPTIC FEATURES /ATLC RIDGE TO THE SE AND TROUGH IN
OR NEAR THE AREA/...WE WILL AGAIN EXPERIENCE A CHANCE OF
AFTN/EVENING CONVECTION. SBCAPES AND LIFTED INDICES CHANGE LITTLE
FROM FRIDAY...WHILE MID LEVEL LAPSE RATES REMAIN POOR AT 5-5.5
DEGREES CELSIUS. MAX TEMPS WILL BE SIMILAR TO OR EVEN A COUPLE OF
DEGREES LOWER THAN FRIDAY AS THERE LOOKS TO BE MORE CLOUD COVER AND
LOW LEVEL THICKNESS VALUES ARE A BIT LOWER.

FOR SUNDAY...ANOTHER SHORT WAVE LOOKS TO MOVE INTO THE AREA WITH
LONG WAVE TROUGH ESTABLISHING ITSELF OVER THE ERN STATES. WHILE
MOISTURE AND INSTABILITY CHANGE LITTLE FROM PREVIOUS TWO DAYS...WITH
SLIGHTLY LOWER HEIGHTS ALOFT AND AN INCREASE IN LARGE SCALE WIND
FIELDS WE WILL NEED TO BE ALERT FOR POSSIBLE SEVERE WEATHER.
HOWEVER...CLOUD COVER MAY BE QUITE EXTENSIVE...SO THIS MIGHT BE A
POSSIBLE NEGATIVE FACTOR. MAX TEMPS LOOK A LITTLE LOWER DUE TO
INCREASE CLOUDINESS AND HIGHER COVERAGE OF CONVECTION WHICH WILL BE
IN THE HIGH END CHANCE OR LIKELY RANGE.

FRONTAL BOUNDARY TO MOVE INTO OR NEAR THE AREA DURING EARLY NEXT
WEEK...AND WILL STALL OVER OR NEARBY FOR AT LEAST A COUPLE OF DAYS.
WITH LONE WAVE TROUGH REMAINING IN THE E AT LEAST THROUGH
TUESDAY...PLENTY OF MOISTURE AND AT LEAST MODEST INSTABILITY IN
PLACE...RAIN CHANCES WILL REMAIN ABOVE NORMAL. MAX TEMPS WILL BE
NEAR NORMAL...ALTHOUGH DAYTIME MAY BE HELD DOWN SOMEWHAT BY CLOUD
COVER.

&&

.AVIATION /19Z WEDNESDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...
SCATTERED CONVECTION ACROSS THE FORECAST AREA THIS AFTERNOON. WILL
INCLUDE TEMPO GROUPS AT BOTH TAF SITES FOR THUNDERSTORMS. STORMS
WILL HAVE THE POTENTIAL TO PRODUCE DANGEROUS WIND GUSTS...AS JUST
SEEN AT KSAV THIS HOUR. CONVECTION IS EXPECTED TO DISSIPATE AFTER
SUNSET WITH THE LOSS OF DAYTIME HEATING. OUTSIDE OF ANY
THUNDERSTORMS THAT MAY DEVELOP...VFR CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED TO
PREVAIL AT KCHS AND KSAV FOR THE NEXT 24 HOUR PERIOD. HAVE
EXCLUDED FOG FOR FRIDAY MORNING SINCE NEITHER GUIDANCE NOR CROSS-
OVER TEMPERATURES INDICATE POTENTIAL FOR FOG FORMATION.

EXTENDED AVIATION OUTLOOK...OCNL MVFR CONDITIONS IN CONVECTION AND
POSSIBLE NIGHT TIME/EARLY MORNING FOG THROUGH SUNDAY...OTHERWISE VFR
WEATHER TO PREVAIL.

&&

.MARINE...
LATEST BUOY OBSERVATIONS INDICATE SOUTH WINDS AROUND 15 KT ACROSS
THE COASTAL WATERS. ATLANTIC SURFACE HIGH WILL PERSIST THROUGH THE
SHORT TERM...WHILE A SURFACE TROUGH DEVELOPS INLAND. WINDS WILL
VEER TO THE SOUTHWEST OVERNIGHT...BUT DO NOT EXPECT SPEEDS TO
DIMINISH MUCH BELOW 10 TO 15 KT WITHIN NOCTURNAL SURGING UNTIL
JUST BEFORE DAYBREAK. PATTERN WILL AGAIN BE DOMINATED BY SEABREEZE
DEVELOPMENT ON THURSDAY...WITH SOUTHWEST WINDS BACK TO SOUTH-SOUTHEAST
AND SURGING SLIGHTLY DURING THE AFTERNOON.

THE COASTAL WATERS WILL LIE ON THE NW EDGE OF THE ATLC RIDGE INTO
THE WEEKEND...WITH A LOW PRES TROUGH TO REMAIN INLAND OVER THE SE
DURING THIS TIME. THE END RESULT WILL BE A FAMILIAR PATTERN TO
WHAT WE HAVE BEEN FORECASTING...A MODERATE S-SW FLOW. VEERING
WINDS OVERNIGHT AND BACKING DURING THE AFTN...WITH OCNL
FLUCTUATIONS IN WIND SPEEDS WITH TYPICAL NOCTURNAL SURGES AND
AFTN/EVENING SEA BREEZE CIRCULATIONS. WHILE THERE CERTAINLY COULD
BE ENOUGH OF AN INCREASE TO PUSH WINDS INTO THE 15-20 KT RANGE AT
TIMES...MOST OF THIS TIME WILL SEE WINDS 15 KT OR LESS AND SEAS
3-4 FT OR LOWER.

BY EARLY NEXT WEEK WITH THE APPROACH OF A COOL FRONT INTO THE SE
STATES...A PINCHING OF THE PRES GRADIENT WILL DEVELOP BETWEEN IT AND
ATLC HIGH PRES. THIS MAY ALLOW FOR A LITTLE STRONG SWLY
WINDS...WHICH IN TURN WILL ALLOW FOR SLIGHTLY HIGHER SEAS. THUS WE
WILL NEED TO KEEP WATCH FOR MARGINAL SCA CONDITIONS AT SOME POINT
STARTING SUNDAY. ALSO THERE MAY BE AN ENHANCED RISK OF STRONG
T-STORMS OVER THE MARINE AREA THIS WEEKEND INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK AS A
FRONTAL BOUNDARY MOVES INTO CLOSER PROXIMITY TO THE COASTAL WATERS.

RIP CURRENTS...SHOULD THE HIGHER WINDS/SEAS BECOME REALIZED DURING
EARLY NEXT WEEK...THERE MAY BE AN INCREASED RISK OF RIP CURRENTS DUE
TO THESE CONDITIONS ALONG WITH THE APPROACHING PERIGEE AND NEW MOON.

THIS HAZARDOUS WEATHER OUTLOOK IS FOR ATLANTIC COASTAL
WATERS...SOUTHEAST GEORGIA AND SOUTHEAST SOUTH CAROLINA.

.DAY ONE...THIS AFTERNOON AND TONIGHT.

STRONG THUNDERSTORMS...THE COMBINATION OF MODERATE TO STRONG
INSTABILITY...ALONG WITH AN INCREASE IN MOISTURE ACROSS THE AREA
WILL RESULT IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF THUNDERSTORMS THIS AFTERNOON AND
EVENING. THIS ALONG WITH THE INTERACTION OF THE SEA BREEZE...A
SURFACE BOUNDARY NEARBY AND SOME ENERGY IN THE MID AND UPPER
ATMOSPHERE WILL ALLOW FOR SOME OF THE STORMS TO BECOME STRONG OR
EVEN SEVERE. THE MAIN WEATHER HAZARDS THROUGH THIS EVENING WILL BE
GUSTY WINDS...SMALL HAIL...FREQUENT LIGHTNING STRIKES AND HEAVY
RAINS. SHOULD SEVERE STORMS DEVELOP THEN THERE COULD ALSO BE
DAMAGING WINDS AND LARGE HAIL. IN ADDITION...DUE TO SLOW MOVEMENT
OF THUNDERSTORMS AND SUFFICIENT MOISTURE...SOME OF THE STORMS
COULD ALSO RESULT IN LOCALIZED FLOODING. THE RISK OF SEVERE
WEATHER WILL END BY 9 OR 100O PM THIS EVENING.

THIS IS A POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS SITUATION. STAY TUNED TO NOAA
WEATHER RADIO ALL HAZARDS...TV OR YOUR LOCAL NEWS SOURCE FOR THE
LATEST STATEMENTS FROM THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...THURSDAY THROUGH TUESDAY.

SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS...A COLD FRONT WILL APPROACH FROM THE
NORTHWEST ON SATURDAY AND STALL WEST OF THE AREA THROUGH EARLY
NEXT WEEK WHILE SEVERAL UPPER LEVEL DISTURBANCES MOVE OVER THE
AREA SATURDAY THROUGH MONDAY. THESE FACTORS COMBINED WITH THE
DAILY SEABREEZE AND A HIGHLY UNSTABLE ATMOSPHERE MAY LEAD TO THE
DEVELOPMENT OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS SATURDAY THROUGH MONDAY.
DAMAGING WIND GUSTS...LARGE HAIL...FREQUENT LIGHTNING AND HEAVY
RAIN ARE THE MAIN HAZARDS ANTICIPATED WITH THUNDERSTORMS THAT
DEVELOP. SUNDAY APPEARS TO BE THE DAY WITH THE HIGHEST PROBABILITY
OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORM DEVELOPMENT...BUT THE THREAT EXISTS FOR THE
ENTIRE WEEKEND INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK.
