AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE CHARLESTON SC
401 PM EDT WED AUG 6 2008

.SYNOPSIS...
A SURFACE TROUGH WILL MEANDER OVER THE REGION THROUGH THURSDAY.
MEANWHILE...A WEAKENING COLD FRONT APPROACH THE REGION THURSDAY
AND WILL PUSH INTO THE REGION LATE THIS WEEK...THEN WILL STALL AND
DISSIPATE OVER OR JUST SOUTH OF THE AREA THIS WEEKEND. BY EARLY
NEXT WEEK...ATLANTIC HIGH PRESSURE WILL BUILD OVER THE REGION.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM THURSDAY MORNING/...
PLAN TO ALLOW THE ONGOING HEAT ADVISORY TO CONTINUE AS SCHEDULED
UNTIL 8 PM.

ISOLATED SHOWERS/THUNDERSTORMS ALONG THE SEA BREEZE/LOCALIZED
AREAS OF CONVERGENCE WILL DISSIPATE THIS EVENING. WITH STRONG
INSTABILITY...CANNOT RULE OUT AND ISOLATED PULSE SEVERE
THUNDERSTORMS INTO EARLY EVENING...HOWEVER...MOST DEEP MOIST
UPDRAFTS WILL DEVELOP AND COLLAPSE QUICKLY.

CANNOT RULE OUT THUNDERSTORMS FIRING UPSTREAM ON THE EDGE OF THE
UPPER RIDGE AND PUSHING S/SE INTO THE REGION TONIGHT. TO ACCOUNT
FOR THIS POSSIBILITY...MAINTAINED SLIGHT CHANCE POPS UNTIL
MIDNIGHT. HOWEVER... 12Z GUIDANCE SUGGESTS THAT ANY
UPSTREAM/NOCTURNAL THUNDERSTORMS MAY NOT HOLD TOGETHER TO PUSH
INTO THE FORECAST AREA TONIGHT.

OTHERWISE...EXPECT ANOTHER VERY WARM NIGHT...WITH LOW RANGING FROM
THE MID 70S INLAND TO THE LOWER 80S NEAR THE COAST.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 AM THURSDAY MORNING THROUGH 6 PM THURSDAY/...
12Z GUIDANCE SUGGESTS THAT THE UPPER RIDGE AND ASSOCIATED
WARM/CAPPED MID LEVEL AIRMASS WILL ONLY GRADUALLY RETREAT
THURSDAY. THIS SHOULD DELAY THE ONSET OF THUNDERSTORMS UNTIL
AROUND MID AFTERNOON. WITH AN OFFSHORE/DOWNSLOPE FLOW...850 MB
TEMPS 20-21C AND 1000-850 MB THICKNESS 1440-1445
DAM...TEMPERATURES WILL CLIMB INTO THE UPPER 90S/AROUND 100
DEGREES AWAY FROM THE IMMEDIATE COAST. THESE TEMPERATURES WILL BE
ACCOMPANIED BY DEWPOINTS IN THE UPPER 60S TO MID 70S...JUSTIFYING
ONE MORE DAY OF HEAT ADVISORIES FOR ALL AREAS. THERE REMAINS A
SLIGHT CHANCE THAT AFTERNOON DEWPOINTS MAY FALL INTO THE MID 60S
INLAND...ESPECIALLY IF THE ONSET OF CONVECTION IS DELAYED.
ALSO...THERE REMAINS A LOW CHANCE THAT HIGHER DEWPOINTS MAY
BRIEFLY SUPPORT HEAT INDICES 110-115 AT ISOLATED LOCATIONS WITHIN
COASTAL COUNTIES.

AS TEMPERATURES PUSH THROUGH THE UPPER 90S...ISOLATED TO SCATTERED
PULSE THUNDERSTORMS MAY BEGIN TO DEVELOP ALONG THE SEA
BREEZE...WHICH WILL INITIALLY REMAIN CLOSE TO THE COAST...AND
ALONG OTHER AREAS OF MESOSCALE CONVERGENCE. HOWEVER...OF GREATER
CONCERN IS THE POTENTIAL FOR ORGANIZED STRONG TO SEVERE
THUNDERSTORMS TO DEVELOP UPSTREAM ALONG THE SYNOPTIC COLD
FRONT...WITHIN A BAND OF STRONG MID LEVEL WINDS/30-40 KNOT
0-6 KM BULK SHEAR. ORGANIZED THUNDERSTORMS MAY PROPAGATE SE AND
COULD PUSH INTO THE FORECAST AREA WITH A THREAT FOR DAMAGING WIND
GUSTS LATE IN THE AFTERNOON OR EARLY IN THE EVENING.

RECORD HIGH TEMPS FOR AUGUST 7...

KCHS...98 SET IN 2007
KCHL...96 SET IN 1968
KSAV...100 SET IN 1899

&&

.LONG TERM /THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
MEDIUM RANGE GUIDANCE IS IN GOOD AGREEMENT THROUGH THE
WEEKEND...WITH SOLUTIONS THEN DIVERGING A BIT BY EARLY NEXT WEEK.
THE COLD FRONT IS EXPECTED TO STALL OUT OVER THE AREA ON FRIDAY
AND FRIDAY NIGHT THEN DISSIPATE OVER THE WEEKEND. ATLANTIC HIGH
PRESSURE WILL THEN BUILD BACK INTO THE REGION EARLY NEXT WEEK. THERE
IS SOME DISAGREEMENT AMONGST THE GLOBAL MODELS FOR THE EARLY AND
MIDDLE PORTION OF NEXT WEEK...WITH THE GFS HANGING ONTO ATLANTIC
HIGH PRESSURE...WHILE THE ECMWF SUGGESTS A COLD FRONT WILL MOVE
THROUGH THE AREA BY THE MID WEEK. THE NOGAPS MODEL ON THE OTHER HAND
IS A GOOD COMPROMISE BETWEEN THE GFS AND ECMWF SOLUTION ALLOWING A
COLD FRONT TO APPROACH THE AREA LATE WEDNESDAY OR WEDNESDAY
NIGHT...AND WILL USE ITS TIMING FOR THE AFTERNOON FORECAST PACKAGE.

EXPECT THAT IF THE CAPPING INVERSION HAS NOT BROKEN BY LATE THURSDAY
AFTERNOON IT WILL BREAK THURSDAY EVENING AS UPPER HEIGHTS LOWER IN
RESPONSE TO A STRONG UPPER LEVEL TROUGH APPROACHING THE AREA. THE
AREA WILL ALSO BEGIN TO FEEL THE INFLUENCE OF ENTRANCE REGION
FORCING FROM A 100+ KT H25 JET. WITH PLENTY OF LOW LEVEL INSTABILITY
IN PLACE AND INCREASING DYNAMIC FORCING SEVERE WEATHER WILL BE A
CONCERN WITH MAIN HAZARDS EXPECTED TO BE DAMAGING WINDS AND LARGE
HAIL. DECENT FORCING WILL REMAIN IN PLACE THROUGH MUCH OF THE DAY
FRIDAY...AND ALTHOUGH SEVERE WEATHER CAN/T BE RULED OUT...PLENTY OF
CLOUD COVER WILL LIKELY KEEP THE GREATEST SEVERE WEATHER THREAT
CONFINED TO SOUTHEAST GEORGIA. WILL CARRY HIGH CHANCE OR LIKELY POPS
THURSDAY NIGHT AND FRIDAY.

CONVECTION IS EXPECTED TO QUICKLY END FRIDAY EVENING AS INCREASING
DEEP LAYER NORTHWEST FLOW DRIVES DEEPEST MOISTURE SOUTHEASTWARD AND
OUT OF THE FORECAST AREA. WILL CARRY SLIGHT CHANCE/LOW CHANCE POPS
IN THE EVENING...WITH DRY CONDITIONS THEN EXPECTED OVERNIGHT.

A MUCH DRIER AIRMASS WILL WORK INTO THE AREA THIS WEEKEND INTO EARLY
NEXT WEEK...HELPING TO LIMIT THE COVERAGE OF ANY SHOWER AND
THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY. WILL KEEP POPS LIMITED TO THE SLIGHT CHANCE
RANGE OR BELOW SATURDAY THROUGH TUESDAY.

DEEP MOISTURE WILL BE ON THE INCREASE WEDNESDAY AS THE NEXT COLD
FRONT BEGINS TO APPROACH THE REGION...AND WILL CARRY CHANCE POPS
ACROSS THE AREA.

TEMPERATURES THROUGHOUT THE EXTENDED PERIOD ARE EXPECTED TO REMAIN
WITHIN A DEGREE OR TWO EITHER SIDE OF CLIMO.

&&

.AVIATION /20Z WEDNESDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...
VFR CONDITIONS WILL PREVAIL THROUGH MOST THE 18Z TAF PERIOD.
CONTINUED THE MENTION OF CBS FOR A COUPLE OF HOURS DURING THE LATE
AFTERNOON/EARLY EVENING AS ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS DEVELOP ALONG
THE SEA BREEZE. THURSDAY...ANY THUNDERSTORMS SHOULD HOLD OFF
UNTIL AFTER 18Z...THUS DID NOT INCLUDE A MENTION OF CBS THURSDAY.

EXTENDED AVIATION OUTLOOK...MOSTLY VFR CONDITIONS OUTSIDE OF
CONVECTION...WHICH COULD BECOME MORE FREQUENT TOWARD THE LATTER
PART OF THIS WEEK.

&&

.MARINE...
THE SURFACE TROUGH WILL ADVANCE INTO THE REGION FROM THE NW
OVERNIGHT. AHEAD OF THIS FEATURE...THE SURFACE PRESSURE GRADIENT
WILL SUPPORT S/SW WINDS 15-20 KNOTS/AROUND 20 KNOTS TONIGHT...
JUST BELOW SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY THRESHOLDS...ONCE AGAIN PRODUCING
SEAS 2-4 FT WITHIN NEARSHORE WATERS AND 3-5 FT BEYOND 20 NM.
HOWEVER...IF THE GRADIENT TIGHTENS MORE THAN EXPECTED...MAY YET NEED
TO RAISE AN SCA FOR THE OUTER GA WATERS FOR TONIGHT. W/SW WINDS
THURSDAY MORNING WILL ONCE AGAIN BACK TOWARD THE S/SW

A WEAKENING COLD FRONT WILL STALL OUT OVER THE WATERS LATE FRIDAY
AND FRIDAY NIGHT...THEN DISSIPATE OVER THE WEEKEND. ATLANTIC HIGH
PRESSURE WILL THEN BUILD BACK INTO THE REGION FOR EARLY NEXT WEEK.
WINDS AND SEAS ARE EXPECTED TO REMAIN BELOW HEADLINE THRESHOLDS
THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH MONDAY.
