AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE CHARLESTON SC
346 PM EDT FRI JUN 26 2009

.SYNOPSIS...
A SURFACE TROUGH WILL REMAIN NEAR THE AREA THROUGH SUNDAY...WHILE
A DEEP RIDGE OF HIGH PRESSURE REMAINS ALOFT. THE TROUGH WILL SHIFT
OFFSHORE AS THE RIDGE BREAKS DOWN SUNDAY INTO MONDAY. A COLD
FRONT WILL ADVANCE INTO THE REGION BY EARLY NEXT WEEK. THIS FRONT
WILL THEN STALL OVER OR JUST SOUTH OF THE AREA THROUGH LATE WEEK.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...
A LINE OF STRONG/SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS HAVE DEVELOPED ACROSS
INLAND GEORGIA COUNTIES THIS AFTERNOON JUST AHEAD OF AN
APPROACHING POTENT SHORTWAVE FROM THE NORTHWEST. AT THE
SURFACE...A STRONG DEWPOINT BOUNDARY HAS DEVELOPED IN THE AXIS OF
A TROUGH STRETCHING FROM THE PIEDMONT OF NORTH CAROLINA SOUTHWEST
THROUGH CENTRAL GEORGIA. THESE SYNOPTIC FEATURES...WILL ENHANCE
CONVECTIVE POTENTIAL THROUGH THE AFTERNOON AND EARLY EVENING
HOURS. CLOUD COVER FROM SHOWER ACTIVITY THIS MORNING HAS ALSO
LIKELY SET UP DIFFERENTIAL HEATING BOUNDARIES THAT...IN
COMBINATION WITH THE TYPICAL SEABREEZE CONVERGENCE...SHOULD CREATE
ADDITIONAL SMALLER SCALE FORCING MECHANISMS FOR THUNDERSTORM
DEVELOPMENT.

WARM TEMPERATURES AND DEWPOINTS IN THE LOWER 70S ARE INDICATIVE OF
THE AVAILABLE INSTABILITY THIS AFTERNOON AND FEEL THAT ONGOING
CHANCE POPS ARE ON TRACK FOR A MAJORITY OF THE FORECAST AREA
THROUGH AT LEAST 00Z. AN ISOLATED SEVERE THUNDERSTORM REMAINS
POSSIBLE...CONSIDERING UPPER LEVEL SUPPORT AND POTENTIAL BOUNDARY
INTERACTIONS. MAIN THREATS WOULD BE DAMAGING WINDS AND LARGE
HAIL...HOWEVER COVERAGE OF SEVERE STORMS IS EXPECTED TO BE TOO LOW
TO MENTION SPECIFICALLY IN THE FORECAST AT THE MOMENT.

AS THE AFTERNOON AND EVENING PROGRESSES...MODELS INDICATE A STRONG
NORTH-SOUTH ORIENTED UPPER JET SHIFTING INTO THE REGION WHILE THE
SHORTWAVE DESCENDS INTO THE FORECAST AREA. THUS DESPITE WEAKENING
DIURNAL INFLUENCES...WILL KEEP 20 TO 30 PERCENT POPS GOING UNTIL
AROUND MIDNIGHT. HIGHEST SHOWER/THUNDERSTORM CHANCES WILL BE MAINLY
ACROSS SOUTH CAROLINA COUNTIES...CLOSEST TO THE STRONGEST UPPER
LEVEL ENERGY.

SHORTWAVE WILL THEN SHIFT OFFSHORE DURING THE EARLY MORNING HOURS
ON SUNDAY. HAVE THUS DROPPED THUNDERSTORM POSSIBILITIES BELOW 15
PERCENT AFTER 06Z AS DRIER

&&

.SHORT TERM /SATURDAY THROUGH SATURDAY NIGHT/...
UPPER LEVEL RIDGING WILL ATTEMPT TO BUILD BACK EAST BEHIND THE
SHORTWAVE TROUGH ON SATURDAY. BOTH GFS AND NAM AGREE IN INDICATING
NEGATIVE VORT ADVECTION AND DRIER AIR SHIFTING INTO THE
REGION...CREATING LITTLE TO NO QPF OVER THE FORECAST AREA DURING
THE DAYTIME HOURS. THE MAIN QUESTION WILL BE WHETHER ENOUGH
MOISTURE REMAINS TO ALLOW ANY AFTERNOON CONVECTION TO INTERACT
WITH THE SURFACE TROUGH AND BOUNDARY SLIPPING CLOSER TO THE COAST.
WILL CONTINUE TO ADVERTISE JUST SLIGHT CHANCE POPS SATURDAY
AFTERNOON DUE TO THE LIMITED MOISTURE AND UPPER LEVEL ENERGY.

HOWEVER...A WEAK UPPER LEVEL IMPULSE IS EXPECTED TO MOVE IN FROM THE
NORTHWEST MORE TOWARD SATURDAY EVENING AND POSSIBLY PROVIDE
ENERGY NEEDED FOR THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY OVERNIGHT. THIS SCENARIO
IS DEPICTED IN THE NAM AND CANADIAN MODELS...WHILE GFS IS THE
DRIER SOLUTION. WILL LEAN TOWARD SOME ISOLATED THUNDERSTORM
POTENTIAL SATURDAY NIGHT...WITH BEST RAIN CHANCES SHIFTING SOUTH
AFTER MIDNIGHT.

BUILDING UPPER RIDGE WILL ALLOW TEMPERATURES TO RISE A FEW DEGREES
ABOVE TODAYS HIGHS...REACHING THE MID 90S AWAY FROM THE COOLER
COASTLINE. LOW TEMPERATURES SATURDAY NIGHT WILL LINGER IN THE MID
TO UPPER 70S.

&&

.LONG TERM /SUNDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/...
SUNDAY...AHEAD OF AN APPROACHING COLD FRONT AN OFFSHORE FLOW AND 850
MB TEMPS 21C-23C WILL SUPPORT HIGH TEMPERATURES IN THE MID TO UPPER
90S. DEWPOINTS IN THE 70S SHOULD HOLD TEMPERATURES A BIT BELOW GFS
MOS GUIDANCE...WHICH ADVERTISES HIGHS IN THE LOWER 100S...BUT HEAT
INDICES SHOULD REACH/EXCEED 105F AT MANY LOCATIONS SUNDAY AFTERNOON
AND HEAT ADVISORIES MAY EVENTUALLY BE REQUIRED. MEANWHILE...
MAINTAINED ONGOING SLIGHT CHANCE TO CHANCE POPS...MAINLY FOR DIURNAL
THUNDERSTORMS.

A DEEPENING UPPER LOW OVER THE GREAT LAKES WILL PUSH A COLD FRONT
INTO THE REGION MONDAY...RESULTING IN SLIGHTLY LOWER TEMPERATURES
AND JUSTIFYING AT LEAST CHANCE POPS SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH MONDAY
NIGHT. THE 12Z GFS PUSHES THE FRONT S/E OF THE REGION...RESULTING IN
DRIER CONDITIONS AND NEAR NORMAL TEMPERATURES. HOWEVER...OTHER
MEDIUM RANGE GUIDANCE..AS REFLECTED BY HPC MANUAL PROGS...SUGGESTS
THAT THE COLD FRONT MAY STALL OVER THE REGION AND MAY SUPPORT AN
UNSETTLED PERIOD FEATURING PERIODS OF SHOWERS/THUNDERSTORMS.
SIGNIFICANT FORECAST CHANCES ARE NOT JUSTIFIED AT THIS TIME...THUS
MAINTAINED ONGOING SLIGHT CHANCE TO CHANCE POPS FOR MAINLY DIURNAL
SHOWERS/THUNDERSTORMS ALONG WITH TEMPERATURES SLIGHTLY ABOVE NORMAL
TUESDAY THROUGH FRIDAY.

&&

.AVIATION /19Z FRIDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
TEMPO MVFR CIG AND VSBY CONDITIONS ARE POSSIBLE AT BOTH CHS AND
SAV TERMINALS BETWEEN 19Z TO 22Z AS SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS
DEVELOP INLAND AND SHIFT TOWARDS THE ATLANTIC COAST. ONCE SHOWERS
AND THUNDERSTORMS IMPACT BOTH TERMINALS...WINDS WILL BECOME
SOUTHERLY AROUND 10 KNOTS. ALTHOUGH PRECIP IS NOT IN THE TAF
OVERNIGHT...THERE WILL BE A CHANCE OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS
BEFORE MIDNIGHT. CONFIDENCE IN TIMING AND COVERAGE REMAINS TOO
LOW TO PUT IN THE TAF AT THIS TIME. MID LEVEL CLOUDS WILL BEGIN TO
ERODE AFTER MIDNIGHT TONIGHT AS WINDS BEGIN TO RETURN TO A
SOUTHWEST FLOW. WEST FLOW AT OR BELOW 10 KNOTS IS ANTICIPATED BY
15Z SATURDAY.

EXTENDED AVIATION OUTLOOK...MOSTLY VFR CONDITIONS WILL PERSIST
THROUGH THE PERIOD OUTSIDE OF ANY ISOLATED DIURNAL SHRA/TSRA AND
IN ANY LATE NIGHT/EARLY MORNING LIGHT FOG.

&&

.MARINE...
A STRONG LOW LEVEL JET IS EXPECTED TO DEVELOP OVERNIGHT AND
CREATE A NOCTURNAL SURGE UP TO 15 TO 20 KT INTO EARLY SATURDAY
MORNING. WINDS WILL ALSO VEER SLIGHTLY MORE OFFSHORE OVERNIGHT
BEFORE THE SURGING RELAXES BY MID MORNING SATURDAY. WEST TO SOUTHWEST
WINDS WILL THEN BACK WITH THE SEABREEZE DEVELOPMENT IN THE
AFTERNOON/EARLY EVENING...BEFORE NOCTURNAL SURGING AGAIN
REDEVELOPS SATURDAY NIGHT. DESPITE PERIODS OF ENHANCED
WINDS...FEEL THAT CONDITIONS WILL REMAIN BELOW SMALL CRAFT
ADVISORY CONDITIONS THROUGH SATURDAY. SEAS WILL REMAIN 5 FT OR
LESS...HIGHEST ACROSS AMZ350 AND AMZ374.

SUNDAY WILL START WITH WEST/OFFSHORE WINDS...THEN WINDS WILL BACK
TOWARD THE S/SW WITHIN NEARSHORE WATERS AS THE SEA BREEZE
CIRCULATION DEVELOPS. THEN...AHEAD OF AN APPROACHING COLD FRONT
WINDS COULD SURGE TO NEAR SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY INTENSITY SUNDAY
NIGHT. A COLD FRONT WILL THEN ADVANCE INTO THE WATERS MONDAY. THIS
FRONT COULD EITHER STALL OVER MARINE ZONES OR COULD PUSH S/E OF THE
REGION BEFORE STALLING. THIS INTRODUCES CONSIDERABLE FORECAST
UNCERTAINTY REGARDING WINDS/SEAS THROUGH MIDWEEK. THUS...SIGNIFICANT
CHANGES TO THE ONGOING FORECASTS FOR TUESDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY ARE
NOT JUSTIFIED WITHIN THE FRIDAY AFTERNOON PACKAGE...WHICH HOLDS W/SW
WINDS AND SEAS BELOW SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY THRESHOLDS DURING THIS
PERIOD.

&&

.TIDES/COASTAL FLOODING...
TIDAL DEPARTURES WILL NEED TO BE AROUND 0.9 FT MLLW ABOVE
PREDICTED VALUES AT CHARLESTON HARBOR...AND AROUND 1.3 FT MLLW ABOVE
PREDICTIONS AT FORT PULASKI...IN ORDER TO REACH COASTAL FLOOD
ADVISORY THRESHOLDS WITH THE LATE NIGHT HIGH TIDE CYCLE.
CONSIDERING THE WANING ASTRONOMICAL EFFECTS...FEEL THAT DEPARTURES
WILL FALL SHORT OF HITTING ADVISORY THRESHOLDS LACKING ANY HEAVY
RAINFALL. EXTRATROPICAL WATER LEVEL GUIDANCE SUGGESTS THAT
CHARLESTON HARBOR COULD APPROACH 7 FT MLLW TONIGHT...HOWEVER
CONFIDENCE IS TOO LOW TO ISSUE A COASTAL FLOOD ADVISORY AT THIS
TIME. THE NEXT HIGH TIDE WILL OCCUR BETWEEN MIDNIGHT AND 1 AM EDT
FOR THE SOUTH CAROLINA AND GEORGIA COASTLINE...THUS THERE WILL BE
ENOUGH TIME TO CONTINUE TO MONITOR DEPARTURES AND ISSUE AN ADVISORY
IF CONDITIONS LATER WARRANT.

&&
