AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE CHARLESTON SC
1029 PM EDT FRI AUG 22 2008

.SYNOPSIS...
TROPICAL STORM FAY WILL CONTINUE TO MOVE SLOWLY WEST ACROSS THE
NORTHERN FLORIDA PENINSULA TONIGHT...BEFORE WEAKENING OVER THE
NORTHEAST GULF COAST THIS WEEKEND. THE REMNANTS OF FAY COULD
LINGER OVER THE SOUTHEASTERN U.S. WELL INTO NEXT WEEK.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM SATURDAY MORNING/...
TROPICAL STORM FAY CONTINUES TRACK WESTWARD ACROSS THE FLORIDA
PANHANDLE AND AWAY FROM THE FORECAST AREA THIS EVENING...WHILE HIGH
PRESSURE CENTERED OFF THE SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND COAST BEGINS TO
SLOWLY RIDGE SOUTHWARD AND INTO THE REGION. RADAR IMAGERY CONTINUES
TO SHOW RAIN BANDS/SHOWERS ROTATING IN OFF THE ATLANTIC AND INTO THE
FORECAST AREA THIS EVENING. MAIN NEAR TERM CONCERNS FOR TONIGHT
REVOLVES AROUND ONGOING HEADLINES.

TROPICAL STORM FAY WILL CONTINUE TO TRACK WESTWARD ACROSS THE
FLORIDA PANHANDLE AND AWAY FROM THE FORECAST AREA OVERNIGHT...BUT
PERSISTENT EASTERLY ONSHORE FLOW WILL CONTINUE WITH HIGH PRESSURE TO
THE NORTH OF THE REGION. WITH TROPICAL RAIN BANDS/SHOWERS CONTINUING
TO PUSH INTO THE SOUTH CAROLINA AND GEORGIA COASTS THIS
EVENING...FEEL IT BEST TO CONTINUE ONGOING FLOOD WATCH FOR ALL
GEORGIA ZONES AND EXTENDING IT FOR SOUTH CAROLINA ZONES THROUGH LATE
TONIGHT. BEST SHOWER COVERAGE IS EXPECTED ACROSS CENTRAL AND
SOUTHERN ZONES...SO WILL CARRY LIKELY/CATEGORICAL POPS HERE...WITH
CHANCE POPS ACROSS FAR NORTHERN PORTIONS OF THE CWA.

LATEST OBSERVATIONS ACROSS COASTAL GEORGIA CONTINUE TO SHOW
SUSTAINED WINDS OF AROUND 25 KNOTS...WITH GUSTS TO 30-35 KNOTS...SO
WILL MAINTAIN ONGOING WIND ADVISORY THROUGH LATE TONIGHT.

AS FOR TEMPERATURES...DON/T EXPECT THEM TO DROP OFF TOO FAR GIVEN
DEWPOINTS IN THE LOW TO MID 70S AND PERSISTENT MOIST ONSHORE FLOW.
WILL BUMP OVERNIGHT LOWS UP A TAD...WITH LOWS EXPECTED TO GENERALLY
BOTTOM OUT IN THE LOW TO MID 70S.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 AM SATURDAY MORNING THROUGH 6 PM SATURDAY/...
ALTHOUGH FAY WILL CONTINUE TO MOVE SLOWLY WEST ALONG THE NORTHEAST
GULF COAST ON SATURDAY...ITS EXTENSIVE RAIN SHIELD IS EXPECTED TO
CONTINUE TO IMPACT PORTIONS OF THE FORECAST AREA ON SATURDAY.
SHOWERS WILL BE LIKELY ACROSS MUCH OF SOUTHEAST GA...WITH COVERAGE
DIMINISHING INTO SOUTHEAST SC. RAINFALL COULD STILL BE HEAVY IN
BANDING...AND THE FLASH FLOOD WATCH MAY NEED TO BE EXTENDED INTO
SATURDAY FOR PORTIONS OF SOUTHEAST GA.

CLOUD COVER SHOULD REMAIN RATHER EXTENSIVE ACROSS THE AREA...AND
THE ONSHORE FLOW WILL KEEP HIGHS IN THE LOWER TO MID 80S.

&&

.LONG TERM /SATURDAY NIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY/...
THE REMNANTS OF FAY ARE EXPECTED TO LINGER ACROSS THE SOUTHEASTERN
U.S WELL INTO NEXT WEEK. DEEP TROPICAL MOISTURE IN PLACE ACROSS
THE REGION COMBINED WITH PASSING DISTURBANCES ALOFT WILL RESULT IN
A RATHER WET FORECAST WITH SCATTERED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS IN
THE FORECAST EACH DAY THROUGH THE MIDDLE OF NEXT WEEK. CHANCES OF
RAINFALL COULD DIMINISH SOME LATE IN THE WEEK AS THE REMNANTS LIFT
NORTH. GIVEN THE EXPECTED CLOUD COVER AND RAINFALL...TEMPERATURES
SHOULD REMAIN BELOW NORMAL THROUGH MUCH OF THE LONG TERM.

&&

.AVIATION /03Z SATURDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
THE HEAVIER RAINS FROM EARLIER HAVE THINNED OUT SUBSTANTIALLY THIS
EVENING. HOWEVER AMPLE LOW-LEVEL MOISTURE WILL REMAIN THROUGH THE
NIGHT. SCATTERED SHOWERS WILL CONTINUE MOVING ONTO THE SC COAST
AND ACROSS THE CHS TERMINAL...ALTHOUGH COVERAGE WILL PROBABLY BE
HIGHEST THROUGH MIDNIGHT. HAVE INCLUDED A TEMPO FOR SHOWERS
THROUGH THE EVENING BUT NOTHING BEYOND DUE TO VERY LOW COVERAGE
EXPECTED. AN INCREASE IN SHOWER COVERAGE EXPECTED OVER SOUTHEAST
GA MID-LATE EVENING INTO THE OVERNIGHT HOURS. CONSIDERABLE
COVERAGE COULD CONTINUE INTO SATURDAY. CEILINGS AT BOTH TERMINALS
WILL LIKELY REMAIN AT OR DROP TO MVFR THIS EVENING. SOME DRIER AIR
EXPECTED TO SHIFT INTO CHS TERMINAL ON SATURDAY LIFTING CEILINGS
TO VFR. HOWEVER PREVALENT LOW-LEVEL MOISTURE AND CONVERGENCE
SHOULD MAINTAIN A GENERALLY MVFR CLOUD DECK AT SAV ALL DAY.

EXTENDED AVIATION OUTLOOK...MVFR CEILINGS POSSIBLE AT SAV SAT
NIGHT. VFR CONDITIONS EXPECTED FOR THE REMAINDER OF THE PERIOD
OUTSIDE OF ANY SHOWERS OR THUNDERSTORMS IN WHICH MVFR OR LOWER
CONDITIONS COULD BRIEFLY OCCUR.

&&

.MARINE...
CONDITIONS OVER THE GEORGIA WATERS CONTINUE TO SHOW GUSTS TO GALE
FORCE AT TIMES...AND WITH RAIN BANDS EXPECTED TO CONTINUE TO PUSH
THROUGH THE WATERS OVERNIGHT...WILL LIKELY SEE GUSTS TO GALE FORCE
CONTINUE. THEREFORE WILL KEEP ONGOING GALE WARNINGS INTACT ACROSS
THE GEORGIA WATERS. SMALL CRAFT ADVISORIES CONTINUE TO LOOK IN GOOD
SHAPE OVER THE SOUTH CAROLINA NEARSHORE WATERS. GIVEN GUSTS TO 25
KNOTS IN RAIN BANDS PUSHING THROUGH CHARLESTON HARBOR...WILL EXTEND
THE SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY THROUGH LATE TONIGHT HERE. AS FAY SLOWLY
PULLS WEST AWAY FROM THE AREA...HIGH PRESSURE TO THE NORTH WILL SINK
SOUTHEAST AND MAINTAIN AN ONSHORE FLOW ACROSS THE WATERS. WIND
SPEEDS WILL CONTINUE TO DECREASE THROUGH SATURDAY ALTHOUGH SEAS WILL
REMAIN AT OR ABOVE 6 FT...THUS WILL MAINTAIN SMALL CRAFT ADVISORIES
THROUGH SATURDAY EVENING FOR THE SOUTH CAROLINA NEARSHORE
WATERS...WITH THE GEORGIA WATERS EXPECTED TO JOIN IN ONCE GALE
CONDITIONS SUBSIDE.

A WEAK FRONTAL BOUNDARY ASSOCIATED WITH THE DECAYING TROPICAL
CYCLONE COULD PERSIST OVER THE AREA INTO THE EARLY TO MIDDLE PART
OF NEXT WEEK. HOWEVER...WITH UPPER RIDGING THIS FRONT WILL REMAIN
QUITE WEAK THUS WE DO NOT ANTICIPATE SIGNIFICANT MARINE CONCERNS
DURING THE EXTENDED.

&&

.TIDES/COASTAL FLOODING...
ROBUST WAVES CONTINUE TO CRASH ALONG THE COASTLINE THIS EVENING AND
SHOULD CONTINUE OVERNIGHT. OUR ONLY OFFICIAL WAVE SENSOR IS
LOCATED AT FOLLY BEACH AND HAS BEEN SHOWING 4 FT WAVES FOR MUCH OF
THE EVENING. BREAKER SIZE LIKELY INCREASES AS ONE MOVES DOWN THE
COAST IN ASSOCIATION WITH THE STRONGEST WINDS AND SEAS. PERSISTENT
ONSHORE FLOW IS EXPECTED TO CONTINUE TO KEEP 4 TO 6 FOOT BREAKERS
REACHING THE COAST OVERNIGHT...SO WILL CONTINUE ONGOING HIGH SURF
ADVISORY THROUGH LATE TONIGHT.

THE EARLY SATURDAY MORNING HIGH TIDE IS PREDICTED AT ABOUT TWO FEET
BELOW ADVISORY CRITERIA. BASED ON ANOMALIES OF +1.3 FT AT CHS AND
+1.5 FT AT SAV WITH THE AFTERNOON HIGH TIDE...DO NOT ANTICIPATE
COASTAL FLOODING CONCERNS. OF COURSE...RAINFALL OCCURRING IN URBAN
AND SUBURBAN LOCATIONS AROUND THE TIME OF THE EARLY MORNING HIGH
TIDE WILL CAUSE FLOODING CONCERNS BUT THESE WILL BE BETTER HANDLED
WITH AREAL FLOOD ADVISORIES AND FLASH FLOOD WARNINGS.
