AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE CHARLESTON SC
403 PM EDT WED JUN 17 2009

.SYNOPSIS...
HIGH PRESSURE AT THE SURFACE AND ALOFT WILL BUILD INTO THE REGION
THURSDAY AND WILL PERSIST THROUGH SUNDAY. A COLD FRONT WILL PUSH
THROUGH THE REGION SUNDAY NIGHT...WITH HIGH PRESSURE THEN BUILDING
BACK INTO THE AREA FOR THE FIRST HALF OF THE UPCOMING WORK WEEK.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM THURSDAY MORNING/...
LATE WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON...THE REMNANTS OF THE COLD FRONT WHICH
PUSHED THROUGH THE REGION OVERNIGHT WERE LOCATED NEAR THE SAVANNAH
RIVER. PER THE SPC MESOANALYSIS...SBCAPES HAD INCREASED TO OVER 4000
J/KG. ISOLATED/SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS WILL CONTINUE TO DEVELOP
ALONG/SOUTH OF THIS BOUNDARY THROUGH THE EARLY EVENING. STRONG
INSTABILITY...0-6 KM BULK SHEAR AROUND 30 KNOTS AND DRY MID LEVEL
AIR/WET BULB ZERO HEIGHTS NO HIGHER THAN 12 KFT WILL SUPPORT
MULTICELL THUNDERSTORMS WITH THE POTENTIAL FOR DAMAGING WIND GUSTS
AND LARGE HAIL. THUNDERSTORMS WILL ADVANCE TOWARD THE S/SE. ACROSS
NORTHERN COUNTIES...CLOUD COVER AND HIGH CONVECTIVE TEMPERATURES HAD
DELAYED THE DEVELOPMENT OF DEEP MOIST CONVECTION ALONG THE SEA
BREEZE. HOWEVER...SHORTWAVES ADVANCING INTO THE REGION FROM THE N/NW
AND A DIFFLUENT UPPER FLOW SHOULD SUPPORT AT LEAST ISOLATED TO
SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS THROUGH EARLY EVENING. HERE...SBCAPES AS
HIGH AS 2000-3000 J/KG AND 0-6 KM BULK SHEAR 30-35 KNOTS WILL
PROMOTE MULTICELL DEVELOPMENT AND AN ASSOCIATED THREAT FOR AT LEAST
ISOLATED DAMAGING WIND GUSTS LARGE HAIL. THUS...MAINTAINED A MENTION
OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS WITHIN FORECASTS INTO THIS EVENING. GIVEN
THE DEGREE OF INSTABILITY...THE POTENTIAL MAGNITUDE OF ANY SEVERE
WEATHER APPEARS GREATEST ALONG/SOUTH OF THE SAVANNAH RIVER. ALSO...
THE POTENTIAL FOR MULTICELL THUNDERSTORMS MAY EVENTUALLY REQUIRE
LOCALLY HIGHER POPS.

OVERNIGHT...EXPECT A DIURNAL WEAKENING/DISSIPATION OF
SHOWERS/THUNDERSTORMS. HOWEVER...THE POTENTIAL FOR PERSISTENT
CONVECTION TO SPILL INTO THE REGION FROM THE NW JUSTIFIES ONGOING
SLIGHT CHANCE POPS FOR MOST AREAS OVERNIGHT. ALSO...STRATUS/FOG MAY
AGAIN DEVELOP WITHIN THE MOIST AIRMASS OVER THE REGION...BUT THE
COVERAGE/MAGNITUDE OF FOG MAY DEPEND ON RAIN COVERAGE THIS EVENING.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 AM THURSDAY MORNING THROUGH THURSDAY NIGHT/...
AS THE UPPER RIDGE EXPANDS TOWARD THE REGION FROM THE W/SW...EXPECT
A TRANSITION TO A VERY HOT/HUMID PERIOD ACROSS THE REGION. THURSDAY
AFTERNOON...HIGH TEMPERATURES APPROACHING 100F...A BIT BELOW GFS MOS
GUIDANCE...AND DEWPOINTS CLOSE TO 70 SHOULD SUPPORT HEAT INDICES
AROUND 105F FOR A COUPLE OF HOURS ACROSS ALL BUT FAR N COUNTIES.

THUS...ISSUED A HEAT ADVISORY FOR MOST AREAS EXCEPT COLLETON COUNTY
AND THE CHARLESTON TRI-COUNTY AREA.

MEANWHILE...WITH A CONTINUED NW FLOW ALOFT AND STRONG
INSTABILITY...SPC HAS PLACED THE REGION IN A SLIGHT RISK FOR SEVERE
THUNDERSTORMS FOR THURSDAY. HOWEVER...AS THE CAP STRENGTHENS UNDER
THE BUILDING UPPER RIDGE...COVERAGE OF THUNDERSTORMS REMAINS
UNCLEAR. INDEED...12Z NAM GUIDANCE SUGGESTS THAT FEW THUNDERSTORMS
WILL MANAGE TO DEVELOP ALONG THE SEA BREEZE. ALSO...ANY
THUNDERSTORMS THAT DEVELOP OUTSIDE THE CAP UPSTREAM COULD HOLD
TOGETHER TO PUSH SE AND INTO THE REGION. THUS...MAINTAINED ONGOING
SLIGHT CHANCE POPS FOR THURSDAY AFTERNOON...BUT GIVEN THE NEAR TERM
SEVERE THREAT WILL DEFER ANY MENTION OF THURSDAY SEVERE WEATHER TO
LATER SHIFTS.

THURSDAY NIGHT...EXPECT ANY THUNDERSTORMS TO DIMINISH DURING THE
EVENING...LEAVING A VERY WARM AND HUMID NIGHT. EXPECT LOWS IN THE
70S MOST AREAS...AND SOME LOCATIONS ALONG THE COAST MAY HOLD AROUND
80F THROUGH THE NIGHT.

&&

.LONG TERM /FRIDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
MEDIUM RANGE GUIDANCE IS IN GOOD AGREEMENT THROUGH THE EXTENDED
PERIODS THIS AFTERNOON. STRONG UPPER LEVEL RIDGING FOR THE END OF
THE WEEK AND OVER THE WEEKEND...WILL TRANSITION TO A FAIRLY
AMPLIFIED UPPER LEVEL TROUGH OVER THE SOUTHEAST UNITED STATES FOR
THE FIRST HALF OF NEXT WEEK. AT THE SURFACE...ATLANTIC HIGH PRESSURE
IS EXPECTED TO HOLD IN PLACE THROUGH SUNDAY...WITH A COLD FRONT THEN
PUSHING THROUGH THE AREA SUNDAY NIGHT. HIGH PRESSURE WILL THEN BUILD
FROM THE NORTH FOR THE FIRST HALF OF NEXT WEEK.

AS FOR SENSIBLE WEATHER...WESTERLY FLOW IN COMBINATION WITH STRONG
UPPER LEVEL RIDGING AND LACK OF ANY SIGNIFICANT FORCING MECHANISM
ASIDE FROM THE SEA BREEZE...SHOULD RESULT IN RAIN FREE WEATHER
FRIDAY THROUGH SATURDAY NIGHT. CAN/T RULE OUT AN ISOLATED
SHOWER/THUNDERSTORM FRIDAY AFTERNOON IN ASSOCIATION WITH THE SEA
BREEZE PUSHING INLAND...BUT CHANCES APPEAR TOO LOW TO INCLUDE IN THE
FORECAST AT THIS TIME GIVEN LOW LEVEL WESTERLY STEERING FLOW.

DEEP MOISTURE WILL BE ON THE INCREASE SUNDAY AS A SURFACE COLD FRONT
APPROACHES FROM THE NORTH AND UPPER LEVEL HEIGHTS BEGIN TO FALL IN
ADVANCE OF THE DEVELOPING UPPER LEVEL TROUGH. THAT SAID...WITH LOW
LEVEL STEERING FLOW REMAINING WESTERLY...COVERAGE SHOULDN/T BE TOO
GREAT...AND WILL LIMIT POPS TO SLIGHT CHANCE IN THE
AFTERNOON/EVENING.

FOLLOWING THE COLD FRONT PASSAGE SUNDAY NIGHT...A DRIER LOW LEVEL
AIRMASS WILL PUSH INTO THE REGION...AND THIS SHOULD LIMIT THE AMOUNT
OF CONVECTIVE ACTIVITY ACROSS THE AREA. THEREFORE WILL LIMIT POPS TO
SLIGHT CHANCE MONDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY...FOR ISOLATED
AFTERNOON/EVENING SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS.

TEMPERATURES WILL BE UNSEASONABLY HOT FRIDAY AND SUNDAY...WITH
DAYTIME HIGHS EXCEEDING 100 DEGREES IN MANY LOCATIONS SATURDAY.
TEMPERATURES ARE EXPECTED TO RETURN CLOSER TO NORMAL VALUES MONDAY
THROUGH WEDNESDAY.

&&

.AVIATION /20Z WEDNESDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...
HAVE INITIATED 18Z TAF PERIOD WITH VFR CONDITIONS FOR KCHS AND KSAV...
YET WITH SEVERAL UPPER DISTURBANCES ACROSS THE AREA...
SHOWER/THUNDERSTORM DEVELOPMENT IS EXPECTED THIS AFTERNOON.
TIMING AND COVERAGE OF ACTIVITY REMAINS UNCERTAIN...THUS WILL
MAINTAIN CB GROUP AFTER 20Z FOR NOW AND WILL AMEND TAFS ONCE RADAR
TRENDS ARE ESTABLISHED. WITH LIGHT WINDS AND PLENTY OF LINGERING
LOW LEVEL MOISTURE OVERNIGHT...MVFR FOG DEVELOPMENT IS EXPECTED
EARLY THURSDAY MORNING...AND ANOTHER ROUND OF IFR OR LOWER
CONDITIONS REMAIN POSSIBLE. EXPECT PRECIP THURSDAY AFTERNOON...YET
HAVE EXCLUDED ANY MENTION OF CB FOR NOW AS TIMING OF CONVECTION IS
EXPECTED AFTER 18Z TAF PERIOD AND WILL REEVALUATE FOR THE NEXT TAF
PERIOD.

EXTENDED AVIATION OUTLOOK...COULD SEE A FEW ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS
SUNDAY AND MONDAY...BUT OVERALL VFR CONDITIONS ARE ANTICIPATED.

&&

.MARINE...
E/NE WINDS WILL PERSIST INTO TONIGHT...THEN A WEAKENING PRESSURE
PATTERN WILL SUPPORT LIGHT/VARIABLE WINDS OVERNIGHT INTO THURSDAY
MORNING. THURSDAY AFTERNOON...A VIGOROUS SEA BREEZE CIRCULATION
WILL DEVELOP IN RESPONSE TO VERY WARM INLAND TEMPERATURES...AND
ONSHORE WINDS AROUND 15 KNOTS WILL BECOME COMMON. THURSDAY
NIGHT...AS HIGH PRESSURE EXPANDS OVER THE ATLANTIC...S/SW WINDS
MAY SURGE TO AROUND 15 KNOTS. OVERALL...CONDITIONS WILL REMAIN
BELOW SCA THRESHOLD THROUGH THURSDAY NIGHT.

ATLANTIC HIGH PRESSURE WILL HOLD STRONG ACROSS THE WATERS FRIDAY
THROUGH SUNDAY...WITH A COLD FRONT THEN PUSHING THROUGH THE REGION
SUNDAY NIGHT. HIGH PRESSURE WILL THEN BUILD FROM THE NORTH ON
MONDAY. THE OVERALL PATTERN WILL BE DOMINATED BY AFTERNOON SEA
BREEZES AND NOCTURNAL SURGES...WITH THE EXCEPTION OF THE COLD
FRONTAL PASSAGE SUNDAY NIGHT. EXPECT A FAIRLY GOOD NOCTURNAL SURGE
SATURDAY NIGHT IN ADVANCE OF THE APPROACHING COLD FRONT...AND
PORTIONS OF THE WATERS MAY SEE WINDS AND/OR SEAS APPROACH SMALL
CRAFT LEVELS.
