AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE CHARLESTON SC
353 PM EDT SAT JUL 26 2008

.SYNOPSIS...
A WEAK FRONT WILL DROP TOWARD THE AREA LATE SUNDAY FOLLOWED BY
ATLANTIC HIGH PRESSURE FOR MONDAY THROUGH THURSDAY. ANOTHER FRONT
MAY AFFECT THE REGION FRIDAY OR SATURDAY.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM SUNDAY MORNING/...
THE REGION REMAINS ON THE EASTERN PERIPHERY OF A CONTINENTAL RIDGE
AND THE WESTERN EDGE OF A BERMUDA HIGH. THIS IS MAINTAINING A
HUMID AIRMASS IN PLACE WITH A SERIES OF WEAK UPPER LEVEL IMPULSES
PROPAGATING THROUGH THE UPPER LEVELS. CONVECTION SHOULD SLOWLY
BECOME MORE WIDESPREAD THROUGH THE EVENING HOURS WITH AN ABUNDANCE
OF INSTABILITY AND NUMEROUS MESOSCALE OUTFLOW BOUNDARIES TO BUILD
UPON. BEYOND MIDNIGHT...COVERAGE SHOULD LESSEN SIGNIFICANTLY WITH
THE LOSS OF DAYTIME HEATING HOWEVER WILL MAINTAIN SOME POPS
THROUGH DAYBREAK.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 AM SUNDAY MORNING THROUGH 6 PM SUNDAY/...
UPPER HEIGHT FALLS WILL CONTINUE ON SUNDAY AS THE RIDGE TO THE
WEST FURTHER ERODES. THIS WILL ALLOW A WEAK FRONTAL FEATURE TO
DROP TOWARD THE AREA LATE IN THE DAY WHICH WILL PROVIDE AN
ADDITIONAL FOCUS FOR CONVECTION. MODEL SOUNDINGS SHOW LESS DRY AIR
ALOFT THAT COULD MIX DOWN DURING THE DAY...THUS SFC DEWPOINTS
SHOULD REMAIN IN THE LOWER 70S THROUGH THE AFTERNOON WITH HIGHS IN
THE LOWER 90S. AMPLE INSTABILITY SHOULD DEVELOP...WHICH COMBINED
WITH THE APPROACHING FRONT...THE SEABREEZE...AND SOME UPPER
IMPULSES SHOULD RESULT IN SCATTERED TO NUMEROUS SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS. AN ISOLATED SEVERE STORM CANNOT BE RULED OUT
ESPECIALLY TO THE N WHERE BULK SHEAR VALUES WILL BE MORE
SUPPORTIVE OF MULTI-CELL CLUSTERS.

&&

.LONG TERM /SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY/...
AN UPPER LEVEL TROF ALONG THE EAST COAST AND AN UPPER LEVEL RIDGE
OVER THE SOUTHERN PLAINS SUNDAY NIGHT WILL BE REPLACED BY MORE
ZONAL FLOW BY TUESDAY. THEN AN UPPER LEVEL TROF IS EXPECTED TO
ESTABLISH ITSELF ONCE AGAIN ALONG THE EAST COAST BY THE END OF THE
WEEK. A TROF TO THE LEE SIDE OF THE SOUTHERN APPALACHIAN MOUNTAINS
IS EXPECTED TO PREVAIL THROUGH THIS PART OF THE FORECAST
PACKAGE...WHICH WHEN COMBINED WITH THE SEA/OCEAN BREEZE TO RESULT
IN SOUTHWESTERLY WINDS AT NIGHT AND INTO THE EARLY MORNING HOURS
AND SOUTH TO SOUTHEASTERLY WINDS IN THE AFTERNOON AND INTO THE
EARLY EVENING.

THERE WILL BE A CHANCE OR SLIGHT CHANCE FOR SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS EACH DAY...MAINLY ALONG THE SEA BREEZE OR OTHER
BOUNDARIES DURING THE AFTERNOON AND EVENING HOURS. CANNOT RULE OUT
SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS SUNDAY NIGHT AS WITH A DECENT
NORTHWESTERLY FLOW ALOFT AND RICH LOW LEVEL MOISTURE IN PLACE...ANY
UPSTREAM CONVECTION MAY BE ABLE TO DIVE SOUTHEAST INTO THE AREA. AS
UPPER LEVEL FLOW WEAKENS INTO MID AND LATTER PART OF THE WEEK FEEL
THE CHANCES OF THIS SAME SCENARIO UNFOLDING AFTER SUNDAY NIGHT IS
QUITE LOW.

HIGH TEMPERATURES ON WEDNESDAY AND ESPECIALLY THURSDAY WILL BE QUITE
WARM. AN AREA OF LOW PRESSURE IS EXPECTED TO MOVE OFF THE MID
ATLANTIC COAST DURING THE PERIOD AND THIS WILL RESULT IN THE LOW
LEVEL WINDS DEVELOPING MORE OF A WESTERLY COMPONENT....WHICH SHOULD
PIN THE SEA BREEZE FAIRLY CLOSE TO THE COAST. THIS COMBINED WITH
COMPRESSIONAL HEATING AHEAD OF A COLD FRONT TO OUR NORTHWEST WILL
LIKELY AID IN SENDING HIGH TEMPERATURES INTO AT LEAST THE MID 90S
FOR MANY AREAS AWAY FROM THE COAST. THIS COMBINED WITH DEWPOINT
TEMPERATURES IN THE MID 70S WILL RESULT IN HEAT INDICES AT OR ABOVE
105.

BY THE END OF THE WEEK THE DEVELOPING UPPER LEVEL TROF SHOULD
PROVIDE SOME MINOR RELIEF. THE GFS IS MUCH MORE ROBUST WITH THIS
UPPER TROF THAN THE ECMWF...BUT IN EITHER CASE TEMPERATURES NEAR
NORMAL WITH SOME LOWERING OF THE DEWPOINTS IS ANTICIPATED BY THE END
OF THE WEEK.

&&

.AVIATION /19Z SATURDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/...
WITH AN ONGOING NW FLOW WITH WARM MOIST AIRMASS NEAR THE SURFACE
THERE WILL BE AT LEAST AN ISOLATED THREAT FOR CONVECTION AT THE
TERMINALS THROUGHOUT THE TAF PERIOD. HOWEVER THE FIRST FOCUS FOR
ACTIVITY WILL BE LATER THIS AFTERNOON WITH UPPER ENERGY MOVING
THROUGH AND PROVIDING A FORCING MECHANISM FOR SHOWERS AND STORMS.
THE BEST COVERAGE SHOULD REMAIN WEST OF THE TERMINALS NEAR THE LEE
TROUGH SO HAVE NOT INCLUDED ANY PREVAILING MENTION. LATE TONIGHT A
WEAK VORT LOOKS TO SLIDE THROUGH SOUTHERN SC WHICH COULD SPARK
SOME SHOWERS NEAR KCHS. THUS WE INCLUDED A VICINITY SHOWER.

SUNDAY LOOKS TO SEE BETTER COVERAGE OF SHOWERS AND STORMS DUE TO
AN INCREASE IN UPPER LEVEL FORCING AND CONTINUED MOISTENING IN THE
LOWER LEVELS. INCLUDED CB MENTION AT THIS TIME BUT LATER SHIFTS
MAY CONSIDER INCLUDING TEMPO OR PREVAILING FOR CONVECTION AND
BRIEFLY REDUCED CIGS/VSBYS.

EXTENDED AVIATION OUTLOOK...BRIEF MVFR OR LOWER CONDITIONS IN
SCATTERED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS EACH AFTERNOON/EVENING. PATCHY
SHALLOW GROUND FOG EACH MORNING COULD DROP VSBYS BRIEFLY TO MVFR.

&&

.MARINE...
BERMUDA HIGH PRESSURE WILL SLOWLY BUILD WEST WHILE A WEAK SURFACE
TROUGH SHIFTS TOWARD THE COAST DURING THE DAY SUNDAY. SOME
NOCTURNAL JETTING EXPECTED TONIGHT...MAINLY OVER THE OFFSHORE GA
WATERS. A GOOD SEABREEZE EXPECTED RIGHT ALONG THE COAST SUNDAY
AFTERNOON DUE TO A SLIGHTLY STRONGER PRESSURE GRADIENT.

FOR SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY...SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE OVER
THE CENTRAL ATLANTIC AND LOW PRESSURE TO THE LEE OF THE SOUTHERN
APPALACHIANS WILL RESULT IN MAINLY SOUTHWEST WINDS DURING THE
NIGHT AND EARLY MORNING HOURS AND SOUTH TO SOUTHEAST WINDS
ESPECIALLY NEAR THE COAST DURING THE AFTERNOON AND EVENING. BOTH
THE NAM AND GFS SHOWER A TIGHTER PRESSURE GRADIENT ACROSS THE
COASTAL WATERS SUNDAY NIGHT AND A RESULT HAVE INCREASED WINDS AND
SEAS SOME FROM THE PREVIOUS FORECAST. OUTSIDE OF SHOWER AND
THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY...EXPECT MAINLY SEAS OF 2 TO 4 FEET AND
WINDS OF 10 TO 15 KNOTS MONDAY THROUGH THURSDAY.

&&

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