AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE CHARLESTON SC
341 PM EDT THU JUL 10 2008

.SYNOPSIS...
A WEAK FRONTAL BOUNDARY WILL LINGER JUST INLAND OF THE COASTAL
PLAIN THROUGH FRIDAY THEN DISSIPATE FRIDAY NIGHT. ANOTHER WEAK
COLD FRONT WILL DROP SOUTH INTO THE REGION SATURDAY AND BECOME
STATIONARY NEAR THE SOUTH CAROLINA/GEORGIA BORDER SUNDAY AS WEAK
LOW PRESSURE LINGERS OFF THE SOUTH CAROLINA COAST. ANOTHER FRONTAL
SYSTEM COULD IMPACT THE REGION EARLY NEXT WEEK.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM FRIDAY MORNING/...
SFC ANALYSIS MAINTAINS A MEANDERING E-W ORIENTED CDFNT THROUGH NC
INTO TN WITH A PREFRONTAL TROUGH ORIENTED SW-NE THROUGH THE
CAROLINAS. WITH CONVECTIVE TEMPS AROUND 90 BEING MET SHORTLY AFTER
NOON...SEVERAL RESIDUAL BOUNDARIES ALONG WITH A MODEST UPPER LEVEL
SHORTWAVE WORKED WITHIN DEEP MOISTURE TO PRODUCE CONVECTION MAINLY
NORTH OF A LINE FROM CHARLESTON-RIDGELAND-STATESBORO. MOST OF THE
CWFA RECEIVED GOOD HEATING THROUGH THE FIRST HALF OF THE DAY...AND
MUCH OF THE CWFA REMAINS UNDER MOSTLY SUNNY SKIES SO AM NOT
THINKING THE CONVECTION WILL CEASE ANYTIME SOON...ESP FOR THOSE
AREAS THAT ARE STILL RECEIVING GOOD SUNSHINE. AM CONCERNED ABOUT
THE SRN HALF OF THE CWFA NOT GETTING ANY CONVECTION GIVEN THE GOOD
DEWPOINT GRADIENT SHOWING UP OVER SRN PORTIONS OF THE CWFA...BUT
WILL MAINTAIN LOW-MID CHC POPS THERE FOR OUTFLOW BOUNDARY
POSSIBILITIES. NRN PORTIONS OF THE CWFA ARE STILL SEEING CAPE IN
EXCESS OF 3000 J/KG PER RUC PROGS... WITH CAPE DECRG GOING SOUTH.
THUS...WILL KEEP HIGH CHC AND LOW END LIKELY POPS GOING THROUGH
THE MID EVE HOURS FOR NRN AREAS. GIVEN THE DEEP MOISTURE /PWATS
OVER 2 INCHES/ AND INCOMING UPPER SHORTWAVE ALONG WITH THE
SEABREEZE AND OUTFLOW BOUNDARIES...ISOLD WET MICROBURSTS ARE STILL
POSSIBLE ALONG WITH ISOLD MINOR FLOODING. TEMPS FOR MANY SPOTS THE
NRN HALF OF THE CWFA WILL BECOME RAIN-COOLED WHILE SRN SPOTS LOOK
TO HAVE A MORE DIURNAL TEMP CURVE...LEADING TO LOWS MAINLY IN THE
LOW 70S.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 AM FRIDAY MORNING THROUGH FRIDAY NIGHT/...
THE AFOREMENTIONED PREFRONTAL TROUGH WILL REMAIN OVER THE AREA
TOMORROW INTO TOMORROW NIGHT WHILE THE FRONTAL BOUNDARY OVER NC-TN
SLOWLY DRIFTS S...THUS MAKING TMRW A POTENTIAL CARBON-COPY OF TDA.
SEVERAL UPPER LEVEL SHORTWAVES COMBINED WITH THE DAILY SEABREEZE
AND RESIDUAL SFC OUTFLOW BOUNDARIES WILL HELP DEVELOP CONVECTION
AGAIN AROUND MIDDAY...AS CONVECTIVE TEMPS WILL BE IN THE UPPER 80S
AND MAX TEMPS WILL BE IN THE LOWER 90S. THUS...HAVE AGAIN RUN WITH
HIGH END CHC TO LOW END LIKELY POPS. WITH SIMILAR INSTABILITY AND
CONVECTIVE PARAMETERS AS TDA /PWAT OVER 2 INCHES...CAPE OVER 3000
J/G...WBZ OVER 12 KFT/ THE THREAT IS THERE FOR ISOLD WET
MICROBURSTS WITHIN THE PULSE TYPE SCHEME. WILL CONTINUE MENTION IN
THE HWO.

CONVECTION SHOULD BE A BIT MORE PERSISTENT TMRW WITH THE FRONTAL
BOUNDARY LINGERING NEAR OR OVER THE AREA WHILE DISSIPATING TMRW
NIGHT. THUS...HAVE SHOWN A MORE DELAYED TREND OF LOWERING POPS
THROUGH THE NIGHT TMRW. TEMPS WILL AGAIN SETTLE INTO THE LOWER
70S.

&&

.LONG TERM /SATURDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/...
SATURDAY THROUGH SUNDAY...THE MODELS HAVE BEEN CONSISTENT FOR
SEVERAL DAYS NOW IN DROPPING A WEAK FRONTAL BOUNDARY INTO THE REGION
SATURDAY AS CENTER OF BROAD SUBTROPICAL RIDING REMAINS ANCHORED
ACROSS THE WESTERN GULF OF MEXICO. BOTH THE NAM AND GFS WITH SUPPORT
FROM THE ECMWF AND SREF MEAN SUGGEST A WAVE OF LOW PRESSURE WILL
DEVELOP ALONG THE FRONT AND MEANDER OFF THE SOUTH CAROLINA COAST
THROUGH THE WEEKEND...BUT DIFFER SIGNIFICANTLY IN THE EXACT
PLACEMENT AND INTENSITY OF THE CYCLONE. PLAN TO STICK WITH THE
WEAKER NAM SOLUTION SINCE GFS MAY BE OVER DEVELOPING THE LOW WITH
STRONG MODEL CONVECTIVE FEEDBACK OVER THE GULF STREAM. WILL MAINTAIN
CHANCE POPS SATURDAY FOR THE NORTHERN AND CENTRAL ZONES BUT UP BUMP
THEM UP INTO THE LIKELY CATEGORY SOUTH OF INTERSTATE 16 WHERE THE
STRONGEST LOW-LEVEL CONVERGENCE WILL BE FOUND. CYCLONIC FLOW AROUND
THE LOW WILL HELP ADVECT DRIER AIR OVER NORTH CAROLINA SOUTH THROUGH
THE REGION SUNDAY. WILL GO WITH SLIGHT CHANCE POPS FOR SUNDAY. HIGHS
EACH DAY WILL BE AROUND 90 WITH LOWS IN THE LOWER TO MID 70S EXCEPT
UPPER 70S NEAR THE BEACHES.

MONDAY THROUGH THURSDAY...ANOTHER FRONTAL BOUNDARY WILL APPROACH
FROM THE NORTHWEST EARLY NEXT WEEK. THE MODELS ARE UNDECIDED ON
EXACTLY HOW FAR OFFSHORE THE BOUNDARY WILL GO WITH THE GFS SHOWING A
POSITION ALONG THE COAST WHILE THE ECMWF STALLS FRONT JUST OFFSHORE.
MUCH WILL DEPEND ON EXACTLY HOW STRONG THE PASSING SHORTWAVE TO THE
NORTH WILL BE. WILL GO WITH SLIGHT CHANCE TO CHANCE POPS DURING THIS
TIME WITH TEMPERATURES NEAR NORMAL LEVELS.

&&

.AVIATION /19Z THURSDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...
WITH THE CONVECTIVE TEMPERATURE BEING REACHED...DEEP MOISTURE IN
PLACE AND A PREFRONTAL TROUGH OVER THE MIDLANDS...SCATTERED
SHWRS/TSTMS HAVE DEVELOPED MAINLY NEAR THE COAST AND WILL CONTINUE
TO DEVELOP ALONG THE SEABREEZE AND OTHER RESIDUAL BOUNDARIES. SOME
OF THESE STORMS WILL IMPACT THE TERMINALS THROUGH 00Z THIS EVE SO
WILL LOOK FOR MVFR-IFR CONDITIONS FOR BRIEF PERIODS THROUGH THE
REST OF THIS AFTN. CONVECTION SHOULD SLOWLY DISSIPATE GOING INTO
THE MID TO LATE EVENING HOURS SO WILL RUN WITH PREVAILING VFR
CONDS OVERNIGHT THROUGH TMRW MRNG. ANOTHER ROUND OF CONVECTION IS
POSSIBLE TOMORROW AS THE FRONTAL BOUNDARY MOVES OVER THE AREA AND
STALLS OUT WHILE MOISTURE REMAINS DEEP. EXACT TIMING IS A BIT
PROBLEMATIC SO WILL INCLUDE CB FOR THE LATE MRNG INTO EARLY AFTN
HOURS TOMORROW.

EXTENDED AVIATION OUTLOOK...OCNL MVFR OR IFR CONDITIONS POSSIBLE
IN MAINLY AFTN/EVENING CONVECTION THROUGH MONDAY.

&&

.MARINE...
TONIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY NIGHT...THE ATLC RIDGE ON WILL EXTEND
ACROSS THE ERN GULF OF MEXICO WHILE A WEAK FRONTAL BOUNDARY LIES
JUST INLAND OVER THE SE STATES AND GRADUALLY DISSIPATES. WINDS IN
CHARLESTON HARBOR WILL NEED TO BE MONITORED AS MIXING HEIGHTS MAY
TAP INTO HIGHER BOUNDARY LAYER WINDS...OTHERWISE WINDS WILL BE
CAPPED AT 15 KT. WHILE MOST SEAS WILL HOLD AT 4 FT OR LESS...GIVEN
SWELLS FROM BERTHA WE COULD SEE A FEW 5-FOOTERS ESPECIALLY OVER
AMZ350-374.

SATURDAY THROUGH TUESDAY...LONG-PERIOD SWELLS FROM HURRICANE BERTHA
ARE FORECAST TO PEAK EARLY SATURDAY MORNING BEFORE SLOWLY SUBSIDING.
OTHERWISE FAIRLY LIGHT WINDS WILL IMPACT THE MARINE AREA SATURDAY
AND SUNDAY WITH A WEAK FRONTAL BOUNDARY DRAPED OVER THE AREA AND
LOW PRESSURE JUST OFF THE SOUTH CAROLINA COAST. PINNING DOWN
DIRECTIONS WILL BE TRICKY BUT EXPECT FAIRLY LIGHT WINDS. ANOTHER
COLD FRONT COULD IMPACT THE WATERS BY MID WEEK.

RIP CURRENTS...SMALL SWELLS FROM BERTHA WILL CONTINUE TO IMPACT
THE SURF ZONE FRIDAY AND SATURDAY. SWELL PERIODS COULD REACH 12-13
SECONDS THIS EVENING...AROUND 10-11 SECONDS ON FRIDAY...THEN 9-10
SECONDS SATURDAY. DEPENDING UPON THE STRENGTH OF THE WINDS WITHIN
THE SEA BREEZE CIRCULATION...WE ARE LIKELY LOOKING AT AN ENHANCED
RISK OF RIP CURRENTS...ESPECIALLY FRIDAY AND SATURDAY.
