AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE CHARLESTON SC
152 PM EDT FRI MAY 15 2009

.SYNOPSIS...
A WEAK COASTAL TROUGH WILL CONTINUE TO SHIFT INLAND AND DISSIPATE
THROUGH TONIGHT. ATLANTIC HIGH PRESSURE WILL PERSIST THROUGH
SATURDAY. A COLD FRONT WILL MOVE ACROSS THE AREA SUNDAY INTO
SUNDAY NIGHT...BEFORE STALLING JUST OFF THE COAST INTO THE MIDDLE
OF NEXT WEEK.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 PM THIS EVENING/...
DEEP RIDGING IN THE WRN ATLC WILL HELP TO SLOWLY PUSH A WEAK
REMNANT COASTAL TROUGH FURTHER INLAND TDA. HAVE ALREADY SEEN ITS
INFLUENCE OVER THE AREA...PARTICULARLY THE ENHANCED LOW LEVEL
CONVERGENCE WITHIN THE ONSHORE FLOW...BY PRODUCING SCATTERED
MODERATE/HEAVY RAIN WITH A FEW EMBEDDED TSTMS OVER MAINLY COASTAL
PORTIONS OF FAR SRN SC INTO SE GA. THE ONSHORE FLOW IS EXPECTED TO
PERSIST THROUGH THE DAY TODAY...KEEPING A SOLID INFLUX OF MOISTURE
INTO THE AREA AND UNDER THE WWD-MOVING TROUGH. THOUGH INSTABILITY
IS NOT TERRIBLY IMPRESSIVE...ALTHOUGH THE MODIFIED 12Z KCHS RAOB
INDICATES OVER 2000 J/KG CAPE AND LI OF -5 DEG C...WEAK STORM
MOTIONS AND RATHER LIGHT MID-UPR LEVEL WINDS WILL MAKE FOR SLOW TO
NEARLY STATIONARY STORM MOTIONS OUTSIDE OF TRAINING CELLS. WITH
PWATS OVER 1.5 INCHES...ANY STORM HAS THE POTENTIAL TO PRODUCE
HEAVY RAIN AND CREATE ISOLD FLOODING ISSUES. SHOULD BE ABLE TO
HANDLE THESE ISSUES VIA FLS OR FFW PRODUCTS AS COVERAGE DOES NOT
DICTATE THE NEED FOR A MORE WIDESPREAD WATCH. SEVERE POTENTIAL IS
VERY LOW DUE TO WARMER MIDLVLS...MAKING MIDLVL LAPSE RATE VERY
WEAK. AS FOR PRECIP COVERAGE IN GENERAL...BEST COVERAGE WILL BE
ALONG THE COAST THROUGH THE REST OF THE MORNING THEN GRADUALLY
TRANSITIONING INLAND WITH THE SEABREEZE AND AS THE CONVECTIVE TEMP
OF ABOUT 78-79 DEGREES IS REACHED FURTHER INLAND. GIVEN ONGOING
ACTIVITY NEAR KSAV THIS MORNING...WILL HIGHLIGHT HIGHEST POPS
THERE AND CLOSER TO THE COAST THEN HIGHLIGHT HIGHEST POPS FURTHER
INLAND THIS AFTN.

AS WAS THE CASE YDA...CLOUD/PRECIP COMPLICATIONS WILL PLAY A BIG
FACTOR IN DETERMINING HIGH TEMPS LOCALLY TDA. GENERALLY...WILL
LOOK FOR MID 80S WELL INLAND IN SE GA...TRENDING TO THE LOW 80S
CLOSER TO THE COAST. THE SEABREEZE AND ONSHORE FLOW WILL KEEP
NEARSHORE LOCALES IN THE UPR 70S. SHOULD PERSISTENT CLOUD COVER
AND/OR RAINS OCCUR THIS AFTN OVER ANY LOCATION...MAX TEMPS MAY END
UP AS LOW AS MID 70S.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 PM THIS EVENING THROUGH 6 AM SATURDAY/...
SCATTERED CONVECTION WILL BE ONGOING AHEAD OF THE SEA BREEZE EARLY
THIS EVENING AS DEEP LAYERED MOISTURE REMAINS IN PLACE. DIURNAL
COOLING WILL ALLOW THE COVERAGE OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS TO
DIMINISH THROUGH THE EVENING...WITH THE FOCUS FOR ANY CONVECTION
SHIFTING OFFSHORE AFTER MIDNIGHT. THE POTENTIAL FOR HEAVY RAINFALL
AND LOCALIZED FLOODING WILL PERSIST INTO THE EVENING DUE TO VERY
SLOW STORM MOTIONS AND HIGH PRECIPITABLE WATER VALUES.

PATCHY FOG FORMATION IS EXPECTED AFTER MIDNIGHT ACROSS THE
AREA DUE TO SOME SATURATED GROUND CONDITIONS...AMPLE LOW LEVEL
MOISTURE AND LIGHT WINDS. SOME OF THE FOG COULD BE DENSE AT
TIMES...BUT GIVEN SOME UNCERTAINTY AS TO HOW MUCH AND WHERE THE
HEAVIEST RAIN WILL OCCUR WILL NOT ADD MENTION OF DENSE FOG TO THE
FORECAST JUST YET.

HIGH DEWPOINT VALUES WILL LIMIT THE EXTENT OF COOLING
TONIGHT...WITH LOWS EXPECTED TO RANGE FROM THE MID TO UPPER 60S
AWAY FROM THE IMMEDIATE COAST.

&&

.LONG TERM /SATURDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/...
PRETTY GOOD MODEL AGREEMENT REGARDING THE OVERALL PATTERN INTO
EARLY NEXT WEEK...THEN THE FORECAST BECOMES A BIT MORE UNCERTAIN
BY THE MIDDLE OF NEXT WEEK.

SATURDAY/SATURDAY NIGHT...SCATTERED SHOWERS AND TSTMS ARE EXPECTED
IN A WARM AND UNSTABLE AIRMASS AHEAD OF AN APPROACHING COLD FRONT.

SUNDAY/SUNDAY NIGHT...GOOD CHANCE OF SHOWERS AND TSTMS AS THE COLD
FRONT PUSHES THROUGH THE AREA. HAVE RAISED POPS ACCORDINGLY.

MONDAY/MONDAY NIGHT...BEST RAIN CHANCES LOOK TO SINK S AND E OF THE
AREA AS HIGH PRES TRIES TO BUILD IN FROM THE N. HOWEVER...UPPER
TROUGHING OVER THE AREA WILL PROMOTE A CONTINUED RISK OF PRECIP.
LOWERED TEMPS MON AS A STIFF NE FLOW SETS UP...ALTHOUGH DID NOT GO
AS COOL AS THE LATEST MEX GUIDANCE INDICATES.

TUESDAY THROUGH THURSDAY...MORE UNCERTAINTY THIS PERIOD AS THE GFS
AND ECMWF DIFFER ON A SURFACE LOW DEVELOPING SOMEWHERE EITHER OVER
THE WRN ATLC OR ERN GULF OF MEX...OR EVEN FARTHER S OVER THE
CARIBBEAN. GENERALLY INDICATE MODERATING TEMPS AND THE HIGHEST RAIN
CHANCES ALONG COASTAL AREAS...ESPECIALLY IN GA.

&&

.AVIATION /18Z FRIDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
THE MAIN CHALLENGE FOR THE 18Z TAF PERIOD WILL REMAIN SHOWER AND
THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY FOR KCHS AND KSAV AS A COASTAL TROUGH AFFECTS
THE AREA. VISIBILITIES/CEILINGS WILL EASILY BE AFFECTED BY THUNDERSTORMS
THEREFORE...HAVE INITIALIZED KCHS WITH MVFR VISIBILITIES/CEILINGS
THROUGH 20Z. CONVECTION DOES NOT LOOK AS INTENSE ACROSS COASTAL
SOUTHEAST GEORGIA...THEREFORE WILL KEEP CONDITIONS VFR WHILE
CARRYING SHRA THROUGH 21Z. WILL CONTINUE TO MONITOR RADAR TRENDS
AND WILL UPDATE TAFS AS NEEDED. CONDITIONS LOOK FAVORABLE FOR FOG
FORMATION EARLY SATURDAY MORNING DUE TO LIGHT WINDS AND PLENTY OF
LINGERING MOISTURE FROM AFTERNOON SHOWERS. THEREFORE...HAVE
MAINTAINED MVFR VISIBILITIES AFTER 08Z FOR BOTH TERMINALS.
SOUTHERLY WINDS WILL RETURN BY LATE SATURDAY MORNING WITH LESS
THAN 10 KNOT WINDS. ANY SHOWER ACTIVITY FOR SATURDAY AFTERNOON
WILL BE REEVALUATED FOR THE NEXT TAF PERIOD.

EXTENDED AVIATION OUTLOOK...MVFR CONDITIONS ARE POSSIBLE IN
SCATTERED CONVECTION SATURDAY. MVFR OR LOWER CONDITIONS ARE THEN
EXPECTED SUNDAY INTO MONDAY AS A COLD FRONT AFFECTS THE AREA. MVFR
OR LOWER CONDITIONS ARE POSSIBLE TUESDAY AS A MOIST NORTHEAST FLOW
DEVELOPS BEHIND THE FRONT.

&&

.MARINE...
VERY FEW CHANGES NEEDED TO ONGOING THINKING AND WILL CONTINUE WITH
A HEADLINE-FREE FORECAST. ATLANTIC HIGH PRESSURE WILL KEEP A
SYNOPTIC SOUTH TO SOUTHEAST FLOW IN PLACE OVER THE COASTAL WATERS
THROUGH TONIGHT. WIND SPEEDS WILL REMAIN BELOW 15 KT GIVEN THE
WEAK SURFACE PRESSURE GRADIENT IN PLACE...HOWEVER THE SEA BREEZE
COULD BRIEFLY PUSH WINDS UP AROUND 15 KT IN CHARLESTON HARBOR THIS
AFTERNOON. A 3 TO 4 FT EASTERLY SWELL...WITH A PERIOD OF 7 TO 9
SECONDS...WITH BE THE MAIN COMPONENT OF THE SEAS TODAY.

SATURDAY THROUGH TUESDAY...ATLC HIGH PRES WILL PERSIST INTO
SUN...RESULTING IN S/SE WINDS OF 15 KT OR LESS. A COLD FRONT WILL
APPROACH FROM THE NW AND SLIP OFFSHORE SUN AND PUSH THROUGH THE
COASTAL WATERS SUN NIGHT BEFORE STALLING SE OF THE AREA. A STRONG NE
FLOW WILL DEVELOP IN THE WAKE OF THE FRONT...WITH SMALL CRAFT
ADVISORY CONDITIONS LIKELY OVER THE ENTIRE AREA BY MON AFTERNOON.
GALES MAY EVEN BE POSSIBLE ...ESPECIALLY BEYOND 20 NM FROM SHORE.

&&

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