AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE CHARLESTON SC
956 PM EDT SUN JUL 5 2009

.SYNOPSIS...
A SERIES OF UPPER LEVEL DISTURBANCES WILL APPROACH FROM THE NORTHWEST
THROUGH TONIGHT. A FRONT WILL SLOWLY DROP SOUTH INTO THE AREA ON
MONDAY...THEN STALL ACROSS SOUTHERN GEORGIA INTO WEDNESDAY. HIGH
PRESSURE WILL THEN BUILD IN FROM THE NORTH LATE IN THE WEEK INTO
THE UPCOMING WEEKEND...PUSHING THE FRONT FARTHER SOUTH OF THE
AREA.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM MONDAY MORNING/...
CONVECTION WITH THE INITIAL MCS ACROSS SE GEORGIA CONTINUES TO
WANE...WHILE A SECOND AND STRONGER MCS OVER WEST CENTRAL GA AND
EAST CENTRAL ALABAMA CONTINUES TO SHIFT EASTWARD. A THIRD MCS IS
ALSO TAKING SHAPE OVER SC...JUST UPSTREAM FROM OUR CWFA THIS
EVENING...AND THIS ACTIVITY HAS THE GREATEST POTENTIAL TO PRODUCE
SEVERE WEATHER. WHILE THE MID LEVEL LAPSE RATES ARE POOR AND PARTS
OF THE AREA HAVE BEEN WORKED OVER FROM EARLIER CONVECTION...THE
MESO-ANALYSIS FROM THE SPC SUGGESTS THAT THERE IS SUFFICIENT
SBCAPE AND LIFTED INDICES FOR ACTIVITY TO MAKE IT INTO THE
NORTHERN AND WESTERN MOST PARTS OF THE FORECAST AREA TONIGHT.
THERE IS GOOD LOW LEVEL LAPSE RATES...FAVORABLE UPPER
DIVERGENCE...PWATS OF 2 INCHES OR GREATER...CONVECTION AND
POSSIBLE SEVERE WEATHER WILL BE MOST PREVALENT NW OF A LINE FROM
MCCLELLANVILLE TO NORTH CHARLESTON...WALTERBORO AND HAMPTON IN
SC...AND OVER JENKINS AND SCREVEN COUNTIES IN SE GA. DOWNDRAFT
CAPES OF 500-1000 J/KG SUPPORT LOCALIZED DAMAGING WINDS AS THE MAIN
RISK. HOWEVER...0-1 KM SRH OF 100 M2/SEC2 AND 30 KT OF 0-6 KM BULK
SHEAR INDICATE THAT ISOLATED TORNADOES ARE ALSO
POSSIBLE...ESPECIALLY WITH LCL HEIGHTS DOWN NEAR 1000 FEET. WE
HAVE MADE ADJUSTMENTS TO ACCOUNT FOR THE LATEST THINKING IN THE
HWO...AND WE WILL ADD MENTION OF DAMAGING WINDS AND ISOLATED
TORNADOES TO THE ZONES FOR THE LOCATIONS MENTIONED ABOVE. HAIL
RISK IS TOO LOW TO INCLUDE GIVEN -20C HEIGHTS AROUND 26-27K FT.

WE WILL CARRY LIKELY POPS NORTH AND POPS DECREASING TO CHANCE
SOUTH THROUGH THE NIGHT...WITH TEMPS RANGING FROM THE LOWER AND
MIDDLE 70S MOST INLAND LOCATIONS TO THE UPPER 70S ALONG THE
IMMEDIATE COAST. FOG POTENTIAL IS TOO LOW GIVEN EXTENSIVE CLOUD
COVER AND TOO MUCH MIXING IN THE BOUNDARY LAYER.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 AM MONDAY MORNING THROUGH MONDAY NIGHT/...
MONDAY STILL LOOKS QUITE WET. THE SOUTHERN STREAM JET OVER
NORTHEAST NC IS ONLY EXPECTED TO STRENGTHEN WHILE THE AXIS SHIFTS
LITTLE DURING THE DAY. THERE IS SURPRISINGLY GOOD MODEL AGREEMENT
IN A SOLID REGION OF UPPER DIVERGENCE CENTERED OVER THE FORECAST
AREA FOR MUCH OF THE DAY MONDAY. THE FRONTAL BOUNDARY IS EXPECTED
TO BE LAYING ACROSS CENTRAL OR SOUTHERN SC DURING THE DAY WHILE A
PROGRESSION OF SHORTWAVES MOVE THROUGH. THE ADDITION OF DEEP
MOISTURE TO THE MIX /PWS APPROACHING 2.5 INCHES IN SPOTS/ SHOULD
RESULT IN FAIRLY WIDESPREAD SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS MONDAY. WE
CONTINUE TO CARRY LIKELY POPS EVERYWHERE...ALTHOUGH EVENTUALLY
CATEGORICAL POPS COULD BE JUSTIFIED. SEVERE POTENTIAL IS IFFY
GIVEN THE EXPECTED OVERCAST SKIES AND NEARLY SATURATED PROFILE. A
FEW DAMAGING DOWNBURSTS WOULD BE THE PRIMARY THREAT IF SOME
THUNDERSTORMS MANAGE TO ORGANIZE. WILL MAINTAIN MENTION IN THE HAZ
WX OUTLOOK. POTENTIALLY MORE LIKELY IS A HEAVY RAINFALL THREAT
GIVEN THE DEEP MOISTURE AND AMPLE FORCING. ON THE FLIP SIDE...0-6
KM WINDS WILL BE ON THE ORDER OF 20-30 KT...THUS THE CELLS SHOULD
BE MOVING. ACTIVITY TRAINING ACROSS THE SAME AREA WOULD BE THE
BIGGEST CONCERN.

CONVECTIVE COVERAGE SHOULD BEGIN TO DECREASE MONDAY EVENING AS
THE UPPER JET PUSHES OFF THE MID-ATLANTIC COAST AND THE SHORTWAVE
ENERGY GETS SHUNTED INTO SOUTHERN GA. THE GREATEST COVERAGE MAY
SHIFT INTO THE WATERS OVERNIGHT. STUCK PRETTY CLOSE TO THE NAM-12
WITH POPS...INDICATING CHANCE POPS TAPERING BACK TO SLIGHT CHANCE
OVER INLAND AREAS OVERNIGHT WITH SOLID CHANCE ACROSS THE WATERS.

&&

.LONG TERM /TUESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/...
MEDIUM RANGE GUIDANCE CONTINUES TO DEPICT DIVERGENT SOLUTIONS WHEN
IT COMES TO WHERE A COLD FRONT WILL STALL OUT INTO THE MIDDLE OF THE
WEEK. THE ECMWF...CANADIAN AND TO A LESSER EXTENT THE NAM HAVE BEEN
MOST CONSISTENT IN SHOWING A COLD FRONT SAGGING FARTHER SOUTH INTO
THE FORECAST AREA ON TUESDAY...BEFORE STALLING ACROSS SOUTHERN
GEORGIA THROUGH WEDNESDAY. THE GFS FOR THE PAST COUPLE OF RUNS HAS
BEEN KEEPING THE FRONT FARTHER NORTH INTO CENTRAL AND SOUTHERN SOUTH
CAROLINA WHILE SEVERAL WAVES OF LOW PRESSURE TRACK ALONG IT. PREFER
TO LEAN MORE HEAVILY ON THE SOLUTIONS PROVIDED BY THE ECMWF AND
CANADIAN GIVEN THE BETTER RUN-TO-RUN CONSISTENCY. AFTERWORDS...MOST
GUIDANCE IS IN FAIRLY GOOD AGREEMENT IN SHOWING HIGH PRESSURE
BUILDING INTO THE AREA FROM THE NORTH AND PERSISTING INTO NEXT
WEEKEND.

THE FORECAST WILL REFLECT A SOLID CHANCE OF SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS ON TUESDAY AS THE FRONT DROPS ACROSS THE AREA. BY
WEDNESDAY...THE BEST POTENTIAL FOR SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE
IN THE VICINITY OF THE FRONT...MAINLY ACROSS THE SOUTHERN HALF OF
THE FORECAST AREA WHERE A CHANCE OF PRECIPITATION WILL CONTINUE...
WITH ONLY A SLIGHT CHANCE FARTHER TO THE NORTH. A WEAK WAVE OF LOW
PRESSURE COULD AFFECT THE AREA ON THURSDAY PUSHING DEEPER MOISTURE
FARTHER NORTH INTO THE AREA...AND A CHANCE OF SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS WILL REMAIN IN THE FORECAST. DRIER CONDITIONS ARE THEN
EXPECTED THROUGH THE WEEKEND AS HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS FROM THE
NORTH...WITH ONLY ISOLATED CONVECTION EXPECTED.

HIGH TEMPERATURES WILL BE SLIGHTLY BELOW NORMAL THROUGH TUESDAY...
RETURNING TO NEAR NORMAL VALUES WEDNESDAY AND THURSDAY...THEN
SLIGHTLY ABOVE NORMAL THROUGH THE WEEKEND.

&&

.AVIATION /01Z MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/...
SOUTHWEST WINDS AROUND 10 KNOTS WILL CONTINUE AT BOTH CHS AND SAV
TERMINALS TONIGHT. MAIN CONCERN WILL BE THE DEVELOPMENT OF SHOWERS
AND THUNDERSTORMS OVER THE NEXT 24 HOURS. MVFR CIGS ARE LIKELY AT
BOTH TERMINALS BETWEEN 18Z MONDAY THROUGH 00Z TUESDAY.

FOR CHS...A CLUSTER OF LIGHT SHOWERS CONTINUES TO SHIFT EAST
TOWARDS THE TERMINAL BUT IS NOT EXPECTED TO DIRECTLY IMPACT THE
TERMINAL IT. HAVE KEPT VCSH UNTIL 01Z TO ACCOUNT FOR THE LIGHT
SHOWERS. WILL KEEP MENTION OF CBS OVERNIGHT AT THE CHS TERMINAL AS
CONDITIONS WILL REMAIN UNSTABLE. UNCERTAINTY STILL EXISTS IN
OVERALL COVERAGE OF SHOWER AND THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY THROUGH
TOMORROW MORNING. IN GENERAL...SHOWER AND THUNDERSTORM CHANCES
WILL INCREASE BY TOMORROW MORNING AND WILL LIKELY BE IMPACTING THE
CHS TERMINAL BY 18Z MONDAY. THEREFORE...HAVE PUT A PREVAILING
GROUP OF LIGHT SHOWERS...CBS...AND RESULTING MVFR CIGS THROUGH 00Z
TUESDAY. PREVAILING THUNDERSTORMS IS NOT OUT OF THE QUESTION
AFTER 18Z MONDAY...BUT DUE TO UNCERTAINTY IN TIMING...HAVE KEPT
OUT OF TAF AT THIS TIME.

FOR SAV...A CLUSTER OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL SHIFT EAST
TOWARDS THE TERMINAL EARLY TONIGHT. THIS CLUSTER SHOWS SIGNS OF
WEAKENING BUT IS EXPECTED TO IMPACT THE SAV TERMINAL AS MODERATE
SHOWERS BETWEEN 00Z AND 03Z. MVFR VSBYS ARE POSSIBLE DURING THIS
ACTIVITY. HAVE ADDED TEMPO SHRA BETWEEN 00Z TO 03Z IN RESPONSE TO
THIS ACTIVITY. WILL MAINTAIN MENTION OF CBS OVERNIGHT THROUGH
TOMORROW AFTERNOON AS UNSTABLE CONDITIONS CONTINUE. UNCERTAINTY
REMAINS IN SHOWER AND THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY IMPACTING THE SAV
THROUGH MID MORNING MONDAY. SHOWER AND THUNDERSTORM CHANCES HOWEVER...
WILL INCREASE MONDAY AFTERNOON. THEREFORE...HAVE PUT PREVAILING
-SHRA RESULTING IN MVFR CIGS ALONG WITH CBS BETWEEN 18Z MONDAY
THROUGH 00Z TUESDAY. PREVAILING THUNDERSTORMS IS NOT OUT OF THE
QUESTION AFTER 18Z MONDAY...BUT DUE TO UNCERTAINTY IN TIMING...
HAVE KEPT OUT OF TAF AT THIS TIME.

EXTENDED AVIATION OUTLOOK...MVFR OR LOWER CONDITIONS APPEAR LIKELY
AT TIMES IN SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS MONDAY NIGHT. VFR
CONDITIONS ARE THEN GENERALLY EXPECTED TO PREVAIL OUTSIDE OF
ISOLATED/SCATTERED CONVECTION TUESDAY THROUGH FRIDAY.

&&

.MARINE...
WITH THE ATLANTIC RIDGE SUPPRESSED FAR TO THE SOUTH ACROSS
SOUTHERN FLORIDA TONIGHT...AND A COLD FRONT TO THE NW ACROSS NC
AND TENNESSEE...THERE WILL BE SOME PINCHING TO THE PRESSURE
GRADIENT ACROSS THE LOCAL WATERS TONIGHT. THAT ALONG WITH A 20 TO
30 KT LOW LEVEL JET AND 1000 MB GEOSTROPHIC WINDS OF 20 KT OR
GREATER WILL RESULT IN WINDS ACROSS THE COASTAL WATERS REACHING AS
HIGH AS 20 KT ACROSS THE SC WATERS AND AMZ374...15 TO 20 KT ACROSS
AMZ354...AND EVEN AROUND 15 KT IN CHARLESTON HARBOR. SEAS WILL
BUILD ACCORDINGLY...BUT NO MORE THAN 4 OR 5 FT...HIGHEST OVER THE
NORTHERN SC WATERS AND THE OUTER GA WATERS. CONDITIONS WILL REMAIN
JUST BELOW SCA CONDITIONS...BUT MARINERS ARE ADVISED TO NAVIGATE
WITH EXTREME CARE DUE TO A 2 TO 4 FOOT WIND WAVE ON TOP OF A 1 TO
2 FOOT LONG PERIOD SWELL AROUND 10-11 SECONDS.

LOW-LEVEL JETTING WILL DROP OFF ON MONDAY BUT WILL INCREASE AGAIN
MONDAY NIGHT.

TUESDAY THROUGH FRIDAY...A COLD FRONT WILL DROP SOUTH ACROSS THE
AREA TUESDAY...STALLING SOMEWHERE ACROSS THE FAR SOUTHERN SOUTH
CAROLINA OR NORTHERN GEORGIA COASTAL WATERS INTO WEDNESDAY. HIGH
PRESSURE WILL THEN BUILD IN FROM THE NORTH THROUGH FRIDAY. WINDS AND
SEAS ARE EXPECTED TO REMAIN BELOW SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY CRITERIA
THROUGH THE PERIOD.
