AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE CHARLESTON SC
1125 PM EDT THU AUG 21 2008

.SYNOPSIS...
THROUGH THIS WEEKEND...TROPICAL CYCLONE FAY WILL REMAIN SOUTH OF
THE REGION AND WILL DRIFT TOWARD THE WEST...GRADUALLY WEAKENING...
WHILE STRONG HIGH PRESSURE WILL REMAIN ANCHORED NORTHEAST OF THE
REGION. THE REMNANTS OF FAY COULD MEANDER OVER THE SOUTHEAST WELL
INTO NEXT WEEK.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM FRIDAY MORNING/...
LATE THURSDAY EVENING...TROPICAL STORM FAY CONTINUES TO STAGNATE
OVER NORTHEAST FLORIDA JUST TO THE S OF SAINT AUGUSTINE. LATEST
FORECASTS CONTINUE TO PUSH FAY INLAND BY HIGH PRESSURE CENTERED
OVER THE NE US...BUT THIS PROCESS HAS REALLY NOT BEGUN AS YET.
ON THE NORTHERN PERIPHERY OF THIS SYSTEM...BANDS OF HEAVY TROPICAL
SHOWERS HAVE BEEN PERSISTENT IN SE GEORGIA WITH RECENT DIURNAL
EBBING IN SOUTH CAROLINA. WE THINK OVERNIGHT...BANDING INTENSITY
AND COVERAGE WILL INCREASE ALONG THE COAST WITH PERIODS OF HEAVY
RAINS CONTINUING IN SE GEORGIA. AS FAY DRIFTS INLAND...THE
NORTHERN PERIPHERY OF THE SHIELD OF WIDESPREAD HEAVY RAIN WILL
BRUSH EXTREME SOUTHERN GEORGIA COUNTIES...SOUTH OF INTERSTATE
16...ENHANCING RAINFALL TOTALS AND THE ASSOCIATED FLASH FLOOD
THREAT THERE. WILL MAINTAIN THE ONGOING FLASH FLOOD WATCH.

MEANWHILE...WIND FIELDS ON THE NORTHERN PERIPHERY OF FAY WILL
ENHANCE STORM RELATIVE HELICITY...SUPPORTING A SLIGHT CHANCE FOR
LOW TOPPED SUPERCELLS AND BRIEF TROPICAL TORNADOES OVERNIGHT...
ESPECIALLY FROM BEAUFORT COUNTY SOUTHWARD ALONG AND TO THE E OF
I-95.

ALONG THE SOUTH CAROLINA COAST...NORTH OF THE TROPICAL STORM
WARNING AREA...THE TIGHT PRESSURE GRADIENT BETWEEN FAY AND THE
HIGH PRESSURE TO THE NORTH WILL CONTINUE TO PRODUCE STRONG/GUSTY
ONSHORE WINDS THROUGH TONIGHT. THE LOW LEVEL WIND FIELD WILL
SUPPORT PERIODS OF SUSTAINED WINDS AROUND 30 MPH...EVEN OUTSIDE
SHOWERS WHICH WILL ALSO PRODUCE STRONG/GUSTY WINDS. RECENTLY
WE HAVE SEEN GUSTS AS HIGH AS 45 TO 50 MPH FROM TYBEE ISLAND TO
HILTON HEAD ISLAND. WE THINK PEAK GUSTS WILL DIMINISH A BIT
OVERNIGHT AS OVERALL COASTAL CONVERGENCE BEGINS TO LOAD UP ONCE
AGAIN. WE EXTENDED THE COASTAL WIND ADVISORY FOR SOUTH CAROLINA
COASTAL COUNTIES UNTIL 8 AM.

LAKE WINDS...COORDINATION WITH WFO CAE AND WE HAVE EXTENDED OUR
LAKE WIND ADVISORY OVERNIGHT AND CONTINUE 20 KT WINDS AND 2 FT
WAVES THROUGH FRI.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 AM FRIDAY MORNING THROUGH 6 PM FRIDAY/...
THE REGION WILL REMAIN WITHIN THE TIGHT PRESSURE GRADIENT AND DEEP
LAYER/ONSHORE TROPICAL FLOW REGIME BETWEEN FAY...DRIFTING ACROSS
NORTHERN FLORIDA...AND THE STRONG HIGH PRESSURE CENTERED
NORTH/NORTHEAST OF THE REGION. AS A RESULT...SHOWERS PRODUCING
TORRENTIAL RAINFALL AND GUSTY WINDS WILL CONTINUE TO PUSH ONSHORE.
THE POTENTIAL FOR EXCESSIVE RAINFALL/FLASH FLOODING SHOULD FOCUS
ACROSS THE SOUTHERN 1/2 OF THE REGION. 12Z GUIDANCE...ESPECIALLY
THIS GFS...SUGGESTS THAT AN AXIS OF LOW LEVEL CONVERGENCE/DEEPER
MOISTURE MAY SPREAD NE ALONG THE SOUTH CAROLINA COAST...PERHAPS
PUSHING THE POTENTIAL FOR EXCESSIVE RAINFALL INTO NORTHERN COUNTIES.
HOWEVER...GIVEN THE PROXIMITY OF SUBSIDENCE/DRIER AIR PRODUCED BY
THE RIDGE...WHICH COULD HOLD MORE WIDESPREAD/HEAVIER RAINFALL ACROSS
THE SOUTH...CONFIDENCE REMAINS INSUFFICIENT TO EXPAND THE FLASH
FLOOD WATCH WITHIN THIS PACKAGE.

MEANWHILE...WIND FIELDS ON THE NORTHERN PERIPHERY OF FAY WILL
ENHANCE STORM RELATIVE HELICITY...SUPPORTING LINGERING/SLIGHT
CHANCE FOR LOW TOPPED SUPERCELLS AND BRIEF TROPICAL TORNADOES
FRIDAY...ESPECIALLY ACROSS SOUTHERN COUNTIES.

LAKE WINDS...ANOTHER BREEZY DAY IS ON TAP FOR FRIDAY AS THE OVERALL
PRESSURE GRADIENT REMAINS QUITE TIGHT BETWEEN HIGH PRESSURE
BUILDING IN FROM THE NORTH AND TS FAY TO THE SOUTH. 925 MB WINDS
COULD BE A BIT STRONGER ON FRI THAN TODAY WITH 35-40 KT OVER MUCH
OF THE AREA. SIMILAR TEMPS EXPECTED WITH PERHAPS A SLIGHTLY BETTER
CHANCE OF SEEING MORE SUN OVER NORTHERN BERKELEY COUNTY...THUS
ANOTHER GUSTY DAY ANTICIPATED ON THE LAKES. THUS...ISSUED ANOTHER
LAKE WIND ADVISORY FOR FRIDAY...RUNNING FROM 9 AM TO 9 PM.

&&

.LONG TERM /FRIDAY NIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY/...
EXPECT A SLOW...SUBTLE TREND TOWARD DRIER CONDITIONS THIS WEEKEND.
HOWEVER...THE CIRCULATION ASSOCIATED WITH FAY...FORECAST TO WEAKEN
TO A DEPRESSION...AND ASSOCIATED WITH THE STRONG HIGH PRESSURE N/NE
OF THE REGION WILL CONTINUE TO PUSH MOISTURE ONSHORE AND INTO THE
REGION...STILL SUPPORTING SCATTERED TO NUMEROUS SHOWERS/
THUNDERSTORMS SATURDAY AND LESSER COVERAGE SUNDAY. THE 12Z NAM
SUGGESTS THAT A BAND OF PERSISTENT HEAVY RAIN MAY DEVELOP NEAR THE
SAVANNAH RIVER...BUT PREFER TO AWAIT LATER MODEL RUNS BEFORE
ADJUSTING THE FORECAST TO SPECIFICALLY ADDRESS SUCH A SCENARIO.

BEYOND SUNDAY...A MOIST ONSHORE FLOW BETWEEN THE REMNANTS OF FAY AND
HIGH PRESSURE WILL CONTINUE TO SUPPORT ISOLATED TO SCATTERED
SHOWERS/THUNDERSTORMS...ESPECIALLY DURING THE AFTERNOONS/EVENINGS.
A DEVELOPING UPPER TROUGH MAY PUSH A COLD FRONT INTO THE SOUTHEAST
LATE IN THE FORECAST PERIOD. IF THIS BOUNDARY STALLS NORTH OF THE
REGION AS EXPECTED...DEEPER MOISTURE MAY SUPPORTING INCREASED
COVERAGE OF SHOWERS/THUNDERSTORMS.

&&

.AVIATION /03Z FRIDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...
EARLY EVENING NOCTURNAL DECREASE IN SHOWER ACTIVITY EVIDENT AT THE
TERMINALS...BUT EXPECT THIS TO BE SHORT LIVED AS THE WATERS BEGIN TO
RELOAD AFTER MIDNIGHT ALLOWING SHOWERS TO ONCE AGAIN INCREASE IN
COVERAGE AND INTENSITY. HAVE KEPT MENTION OF SHOWERS OUT OF TAFS
THROUGH 06 OR 07Z...AS RAIN CHANCES TOO LOW TO MENTION AT THIS TIME.
GUSTY SQUALLS WILL LIKELY IMPACT THE TERMINALS ONCE AGAIN TOWARD
DAYBREAK AND HAVE MENTIONED MVFR/IFR CONDITIONS IN TEMPO GROUPS.
RAIN SQUALLS ARE EXPECTED TO CONTINUE THROUGH MUCH OF FRIDAY AND
HAVE INCLUDED MVFR/IFR TEMPO GROUPS TO ACCOUNT FOR THIS.

MEANWHILE...EARLY EVENING SURFACE WIND TRENDS SUGGEST THE BOUNDARY
LAYER HAS DECOUPLED SUFFICIENTLY TO RESULT IN A TREAT OF LOW LEVEL
WIND SHEAR AT THE TERMINALS. WILL CONTINUE TO MENTION LOW LEVEL WIND
SHEAR THROUGH MID MORNING FRIDAY...WHEN MIXING SHOULD BE SUFFICIENT
TO END THE LOW LEVEL WIND SHEAR THREAT.

EXPECT AMENDMENTS AS APPROPRIATE TO ADDRESS SHORT TERM CONVECTIVE
TRENDS.

EXTENDED AVIATION OUTLOOK...DEPENDING UPON THE EVOLUTION OF TS
FAY...THE TERMINALS COULD EXPERIENCE MORE PROLONGED PERIODS OF MVFR
TO IFR CONDITIONS THROUGH SATURDAY. CONDITIONS LOOK TO IMPROVE TO
PREVAILING VFR LEVELS BY SUNDAY.

&&

.MARINE...
HAZARDOUS CONDITIONS CONTINUE OVER THE COASTAL WATERS THIS EVENING
AS STRONG EAST-NORTHEASTERLY WINDS BETWEEN HIGH PRESSURE TO THE
NORTH AND TROPICAL STORM FAY TO THE SOUTH CONTINUE TO RESULT IN
ELEVATED SEAS AND WINDS. LATEST BUOY AND COASTAL SURFACE
OBSERVATIONS CONTINUE TO INDICATE THAT TROPICAL STORM FORCE/GALE
FORCE WINDS AT LEAST IN GUSTS ARE IMPACTING THE COASTAL WATERS...AND
THIS TREND IS EXPECTED TO CONTINUE THROUGH THE REMAINDER OF THE
OVERNIGHT HOURS AND INTO FRIDAY. THEREFORE...WILL KEEP ONGOING
TROPICAL STORM AND GALE WARNINGS INTACT.

THEREAFTER...WINDS AND SEAS WILL SLOWLY SUBSIDE AS HIGH PRESSURE
BUILDS IN FROM THE N. HOWEVER SEAS WILL PROBABLY REMAIN ABOVE 6 FT
OVER OUTER PORTIONS OF THE NEARSHORE WATERS AND THE GA OFFSHORE
THROUGH SAT NIGHT OR SUN.

&&

.TIDES/COASTAL FLOODING...
TIDES CAME WITHIN A FEW HUNDREDTHS OF A FOOT OF COASTAL FLOOD
ADVISORY CRITERIA AT DOWNTOWN CHARLESTON TODAY WITH AN ANOMALY OF
+1.1 FT. THE HIGH TIDE LATE THIS EVENING IS PREDICTED AT 5.3 FT MLLW
WHICH SHOULD STAY JUST BELOW EVEN IF THE TIDAL ANOMALIES INCREASE BY
ANOTHER FEW TENTHS OF A FOOT. SHALLOW COASTAL FLOODING IS LIKELY
DURING THE MIDDAY FRIDAY HIGH TIDE DUE TO A CONTINUED STRONG ENE
FLOW AND EXPECTED INCREASING TIDAL DEPARTURES AS WATER REMAINS
TRAPPED DURING LOW TIDE. WILL LET THE MID SHIFT MAKE THE FINAL
DECISION FOR A COASTAL FLOOD ADVISORY AFTER WATCHING THE EVENING
HIGH TIDE AND THOSE DEPARTURES.
