AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE CHARLESTON SC
344 PM EDT SUN JUL 6 2008

.SYNOPSIS...
HIGH PRESSURE WILL EXTEND ACROSS THE REGION THROUGH WEDNESDAY. A
WEAK COLD FRONT WILL APPROACH WEDNESDAY NIGHT AND BECOME STATIONARY
NEAR OR JUST NORTH OF THE REGION THURSDAY. THE FRONT WILL LINGER
THROUGH THE WEEKEND.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM MONDAY MORNING/...
CUT OFF LOW HAS DROPPED INTO THE TENNESSEE VALLEY AND WESTERN
APPALACHIANS THIS AFTERNOON. SOLID SOUTHWEST FLOW ALONG THE BASE
OF THE UPPER LOW CONTINUES TO PUMP DEEPER MOISTURE INTO THE
SOUTHEAST STATES TODAY...WITH DEWPOINTS CURRENTLY IN THE LOWER TO
MID 70S ACROSS THE FORECAST AREA.

PERSISTENT MID TO UPPER LEVEL CLOUDS SUPPRESSED WARMING DURING THE
LATE MORNING AND EARLY AFTERNOON. AS A RESULT...CONVECTIVE INITIATION
HAS BEEN NOTICEABLY DELAYED AS COMPARED TO PREVIOUS DAYS. FIRST
CONVECTION OF THE AFTERNOON HAS INITIATED ALONG AND JUST WEST OF
THE PINNED SEABREEZE ACROSS SOUTHEAST GEORGIA COUNTIES. NUMEROUS
SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ARE STILL POSSIBLE THIS AFTERNOON FOR
THE ENTIRE FORECAST AREA...AS MID LEVEL CLOUDS ARE BEGINNING TO
DISSIPATE AND RAPID WARMING AND DESTABILIZATION OCCURS. TIMING OF
STRONGEST THUNDERSTORMS WILL LIKELY BE DELAYED UNTIL THE LATE
AFTERNOON/EARLY EVENING.

UPPER LEVEL DYNAMICS CONTINUE TO BE FAVORABLE FOR SUSTAINING
CONVECTION...AS WEAK SHORTWAVE ENERGY ROTATES INTO THE AREA.
THUNDERSTORMS COULD PERSIST WELL AFTER SUNSET UNDER THE INFLUENCE
OF BOUNDARY INTERACTIONS AND THE INLAND PROGRESSION OF THE
SEABREEZE. HAVE THEREFORE MAINTAINED LIKELY POPS UNTIL AROUND
SUNSET...DECREASING TO CHANCE POPS INTO THE EVENING HOURS.

STILL FEEL THAT ANY THUNDERSTORMS COULD BRIEFLY BECOME SEVERE. THE
STRONGEST STORMS WILL BE ABLE TO PRODUCE DAMAGING WINDS AND PENNY
HAIL...IN ADDITION TO FREQUENT LIGHTNING AND HEAVY DOWNPOURS WITH
LOCALIZED FLOODING. WILL CONTINUE TO MENTION THE SEVERE POTENTIAL
IN THE HAZARDOUS WEATHER OUTLOOK.

TYPICAL DIURNAL INSTABILITY WILL DIMINISH DURING THE NIGHTTIME
HOURS...AND THE SEABREEZE WILL BE LESS OF A FACTOR. DESPITE THE
CLIMATOLOGICALLY UNFAVORABLE CONDITIONS OVERNIGHT...ECMWF...GFS
AND NAM ALL INDICATE PRECIPITATION PERSISTING. AS THE UPPER LOW
DRIFTS SLIGHTLY EASTWARD...A WELL DEFINED VORT MAX SWINGS INTO THE
AREA AFTER MIDNIGHT. WILL THEREFORE MAINTAIN A SLIGHT CHANCE OF
SHOWERS/THUNDERSTORMS FOR THE ENTIRE FORECAST AREA DURING THE
LATE NIGHT/EARLY MORNING HOURS.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 AM MONDAY MORNING THROUGH MONDAY NIGHT/...
WEAKENING UPPER LEVEL LOW WILL CONTINUE TO SLIP EAST/NORTHEAST ON
MONDAY...WHILE ELONGATED SHORTWAVE ENERGY REMAINS OVER THE COASTLINE.
DEEP MOISTURE WILL ALSO REMAIN OVER THE FORECAST AREA...WITH PWAT
VALUES AGAIN APPROACHING 2 INCHES. FAVORABLE DYNAMICS...TYPICAL
SUMMERTIME INSTABILITY AND SEABREEZE FORCING...AND DEEP LAYER
MOISTURE INDICATES NUMEROUS SHOWER AND THUNDERSTORM DEVELOPMENT IS
POSSIBLE ON MONDAY. HAVE THEREFORE INCREASED POPS FROM THE CHANCE
CATEGORY DURING THE MORNING HOURS TO THE LIKELY CATEGORY BY THE
AFTERNOON.

CONSIDERING THE HIGH PWAT VALUES...IF LOW LEVEL WINDS REMAIN LESS
THAN 15 KNOTS AS DEPICTED BEST IN THE NAM SOLUTION...THEN THERE
COULD BE A TORRENTIAL RAIN AND LOCALIZED FLOODING THREAT FROM SLOW
MOVING STORMS ON MONDAY. STRONG TO SEVERE STORMS COULD ALSO
PRODUCE DAMAGING WINDS AND LARGE HAIL. WILL CONTINUE TO HIGHLIGHT
THESE HAZARDS IN THE HAZARDOUS WEATHER OUTLOOK. A FLOOD WATCH MAY
BE CONSIDERED AT A LATER TIME.

&&

.LONG TERM /TUESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/...
TUESDAY...THERE IS DIMINISHED CONFIDENCE ON EXACTLY HOW CONVECTION
WILL EVOLVE TUESDAY. ALTHOUGH THE MODELS ARE SIMILAR IN EJECTING
THE UPPER LOW AND ASSOCIATED UPPER SHEAR AXIS OUT ACROSS NORTH
CAROLINA INTO THE MIDDLE ATLANTIC...THEY DIFFER SIGNIFICANTLY ON THE
AMOUNT OF DIFFERENTIAL VORTICITY THAT WILL LINGER OVER THE EASTERN
PORTIONS OF SOUTH CAROLINA AND GEORGIA. THE NAM WITH SUPPORT FROM
THE ECMWF SHOWS A LARGE SWATH OF DNVA PROPAGATING IN FROM THE WEST
TUESDAY MORNING AS THE UPPER TROF/S MAIN VORTICITY LOBE PIVOTS
THROUGH. THE MODEL GENERATES VERY LITTLE WAY OF CONVECTIVE QPF GIVEN
THE AMOUNT OF SUBSIDENCE/DOWNWARD MOTION. THE OPERATIONAL GFS WITH
SUPPORT FROM THE SREF MEAN OFFERS A MUCH WETTER SOLUTION WITH A BAND
OF VORTICITY AND ATTENDANT OMEGA HOLDING BACK THROUGH THE MIDLANDS
AND EAST CENTRAL GEORGIA DURING MAX HEATING.

THE NAM/S STRONG NEGATIVE VORTICITY FIELD IN THE WAKE OF THE UPPER
TROUGH SEEMS TOO AGGRESSIVE TO US GIVEN THE CURRENT SYNOPTIC SETUP
SO PREFER TO MAINTAIN A FAIRLY WET FORECAST KEEPING CHANCE POPS FOR
ALL AREAS FROM LATE MORNING INTO THE EVENING HOURS. HOWEVER SINCE
THE NAM DOES HAVE SOME SUPPORT FROM THE ECMWF IT CAN NOT BE
COMPLETELY IGNORED. WILL LOWER POPS ONLY SLIGHTLY FROM 40-50 PERCENT
TO 30-40 PERCENT WITH HIGHEST GRIDDED POPS PLACED ALONG AND WEST OF
I-95 WHERE THE GREATEST NUMBER OF SEA BREEZE AND MESOSCALE BOUNDARY
COLLISIONS SHOULD OCCUR. THERE WILL BE A CONTINUED RISK FOR PULSE
SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS WITH THE MAIN HAZARDS BEING DAMAGING WINDS AND
CLOUD TO GROUND LIGHTNING. A RISK FOR HEAVY RAIN AND FLASH FLOODING
WILL ALSO REMAIN WITH MEAN STORM MOTIONS EXPECTED TO BE LESS THAN 10
KNOTS WITH WIND FIELDS FAVORABLE FOR TRAINING/BACK BUILDING
UPDRAFTS. HIGHS WILL BE AROUND 90 WITH LOWS TUESDAY NIGHT RANGING
FROM THE LOWER 70S INLAND TO THE UPPER 70S AT THE BEACHES.

WEDNESDAY...SUBTROPICAL RIDING WILL BECOME FULLY ESTABLISHED ACROSS
THE SOUTHEAST U.S. BY WEDNESDAY. THE PIEDMONT TROUGH IS FORECAST TO
SHARPEN UP ACROSS CENTRAL SOUTH CAROLINA/GEORGIA IN RESPONSE
STRENGTHENING WESTERLY FLOW OVER THE MOUNTAINS INDUCED BY AN UPPER
TROUGH DIGGING ACROSS THE GREAT LAKES REGION. CONVECTION IS EXPECTED
TO FOCUS AHEAD OF THE SEA BREEZE AND ALONG THE PIEDMONT TROUGH SO
THE GREATEST CHANCES FOR SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL REMAIN
ACROSS THE INLAND AREAS...PARTICULARLY ACROSS THE INTERIOR SOUTHEAST
SOUTH CAROLINA ZONES. WILL CONTINUE WITH CHANCE POPS NEAR 40 PERCENT.
HIGHS WILL IN THE LOWER 90S WITH LOWS IN THE LOWER TO MID 70S EXCEPT
UPPER 70S AT THE BEACHES.

THURSDAY THROUGH SUNDAY...WEAK FRONTAL BOUNDARY WILL LINK UP WITH
THE PIEDMONT TROUGH LATE WEDNESDAY NIGHT AND BECOME STATIONARY NEAR
OR JUST NORTH OF THE FORECAST AREA THROUGH THE WEEKEND. SUBTROPICAL
RIDING WILL REMAIN IN PLACE BUT LOW-LEVEL CONVERGENCE ALONG THE
FRONT AND SEA BREEZE COUPLED WITH MODEST INSTABILITY AND PRECIP
WATER VALUES AT OR ABOVE 2 INCHES WILL SUPPORT SCATTERED CONVECTION
EACH DAY WITH CONVECTION DISSIPATING OVER LAND DURING THE NIGHT TIME
HOURS. TEMPERATURES WILL BE NEAR NORMAL.

&&

.AVIATION /19Z SUNDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/...
THE WIND SENSOR AT THE KCHS ASOS REMAINS OUT OF SERVICE. AMENDMENTS
FOR WINDS WILL NOT BE ISSUED FOR THE KCHS TAF UNTIL FURTHER
NOTICE. KCHS TAFS WILL INCLUDE THE REMARK AMD LTD TO CLD AND VIS
UNTIL THE SENSOR IS REPAIRED.

FIRST SIGNS OF CONVECTION THIS AFTERNOON HAVE APPEARED JUST SOUTH
OF KSAV. WILL CONSIDER AMENDING TO INCLUDE EITHER VCTS OR A TEMPO
TSRA DEPENDING ON CONVECTIVE TRENDS. WITH PLENTY OF
INSTABILITY...FAIRLY CONFIDENT THAT BOTH TERMINALS WILL SEE
ACTIVITY ONCE CONVECTIVE TEMPERATURES ARE REACHED AND THE
SEABREEZE IS ABLE TO PUSH INLAND.

BROKEN CEILINGS ARE EXPECTED TO CONTINUE THROUGH THE EVENING INTO
MONDAY AFTERNOON. THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY MAY STILL PERSIST AFTER
SUNSET TONIGHT...BUT CONFIDENCE IN COVERAGE AND TIMING IS NOT HIGH
ENOUGH TO INCLUDE IN THE TAFS AT THIS TIME.

EXTENDED AVIATION OUTLOOK...MVFR OR LOWER CONDITIONS ARE POSSIBLE
WITHIN SHRA/TSRA...MAINLY EACH AFTERNOON/EVENING. OTHERWISE VFR
WEATHER WILL PREVAIL.

&&

.MARINE...
LITTLE CHANGE TO THE ONGOING MARINE FORECAST DURING THE SHORT TERM
PERIOD. THE COASTAL WATERS WILL REMAIN ON THE WESTERN PERIPHERY
OF ATLANTIC HIGH PRESSURE THROUGH MONDAY. EXPECT A LATE
AFTERNOON/EARLY EVENING SOUTHERLY WIND SURGE TO 15 TO 20 KT
ACROSS THE MARINE ZONES...BEFORE DIMINISHING AFTER MIDNIGHT. SEAS
WILL RANGE FROM 2 TO 4 FT.

TUESDAY THROUGH FRIDAY...SOUTHERLY FLOW REGIME WILL DOMINATE THROUGH
THE PERIOD WITH THE AREA REMAINING ON THE WESTERN FLANKS OF ATLANTIC
HIGH PRESSURE. TYPICAL SEA BREEZE AND NOCTURNAL SURGES CAN BE
EXPECTED THROUGH THE PERIOD. WEAK FRONTAL BOUNDARY MAY DRIFT INTO
THE WATERS BY THE END OF THE PERIOD.

&&

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