SPEED/DIRECTIONAL CONVERGENCE REMAINS FOCUSED OVER THE GEORGIA
COASTAL WATERS AND COASTAL SOUTHEAST GEORGIA ZONES...SO WILL KEEP
HIGHEST POPS DOWN IN THESE AREAS. DEEPER MOISTURE EVIDENT IN
SURFACE DEWPOINTS AND VISIBLE SATELLITE IMAGERY EXTENDS SOUTHERN
INTERIOR ZONES...SO WILL CARRY SLIGHT CHANCE/CHANCE POPS INLAND
FROM THE COAST. ELSEWHERE...PRIMARILY RAIN FREE CONDITIONS ARE
EXPECTED TO PREVAIL. HAVE TWEAKED TEMPERATURES UP A DEGREE MOST
LOCALES BASED ON 18Z OBSERVATIONS. THE REST OF THE FORECAST
APPEARS IN GOOD SHAPE. UPDATE OUT SHORTLY.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 PM THIS EVENING THROUGH MONDAY/...
TONIGHT...A RATHER STRONG REX BLOCKING PATTERN WILL DEVELOP
WITH AN UPPER LEVEL RIDGE CENTERED OVER THE OHIO VALLEY AND MID-
ATLANTIC REGION AND A CLOSED LOW OVER THE FLORIDA PENINSULA AND
EASTERN GULF OF MEXICO. MEANWHILE AT THE SURFACE...EXPANSIVE HIGH
PRESSURE WILL CONTINUE TO BUILD SOUTH FROM THE MID-ATLANTIC REGION
WHILE A WEAK COASTAL TROUGH PERSISTS OVER THE NEARBY ATLANTIC.

AN APPROACHING SHORT WAVE DISTURBANCE EMBEDDED WITHIN THE
NORTHEAST FLOW...LOW LEVEL CONVERGE AND BETTER MOISTURE PROFILES
WILL FOCUS SHOWERS ACROSS NORTH COASTAL GEORGIA THIS EVENING. THE
FORECAST WILL INDICATE LIKELY PROBABILITIES OF SHOWERS ALONG THE
IMMEDIATE SOUTHEAST GEORGIA COAST AS A RESULT...WITH A CHANCE OR
SLIGHT CHANCE ACROSS THE REST OF NORTH COASTAL GEORGIA AND FAR
SOUTHERN SOUTH CAROLINA. PROBABILITIES WILL DIMINISH OVERNIGHT AS
WEAK SUBSIDENCE DEVELOPS IN WAKE OF THE DEPARTING SHORT WAVE. FAR
INLAND AREAS ARE EXPECTED TO REMAIN RAIN FREE THROUGH THE NIGHT.
THE NORTHEAST FLOW WILL REMAIN COUPLED TONIGHT GIVEN THE STRONG
SURFACE PRESSURE GRADIENT IN PLACE...WITH LOWS EXPECTED TO BE IN
THE UPPER 50S TO LOWER 60S ACROSS MOST OF THE AREA.

DURING THE WEEKEND...A BLOCKING MID/UPPER LEVEL ANTICYCLONE WILL
BUILD OVER THE NORTHERN MID ATLC AND SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND STATES
WHILE MID LEVEL LOW PRES RESIDES OVER FLORIDA AND EASTERN GULF OF
MEXICO. AN UPPER LEVEL TROUGH AXIS WILL BECOME BETTER DEFINED WITH
TIME OVER AND JUST TO THE E OF THE MID LEVEL LOW.

FOR MUCH OF SAT INTO SUNDAY...DEEP MOISTURE WILL BE PACKING INTO
FLORIDA WITH SIGNIFICANT RAINS TO OUR S. HIGH PRES TO THE N AND
DEEP LAYERED LOWER RH VALUES WILL LIKELY KEEP THE WEATHER DRY ACROSS
SE SOUTH CAROLINA SAT BUT WE MAINTAINED SOME SLIGHT CHANCE POPS
ADJACENT TO THE COAST...MAINLY BRUSHING THE BEACHES.

SLIGHTLY HIGHER POPS ADJACENT TO THE ALTAMAHA RIVER REGION OF SE
GEORGIA WHERE MOISTURE IS DEEPER AND CONVERGENCE IS FORECAST TO BE
STRONGER.

SAT NIGHT AND SUNDAY...THE CONVEYOR BELT OF DEEPER MOISTURE WILL
BEGIN A GRADUAL SHIFT N AS UPPER LEVEL DYNAMICS IMPROVE AND THE
RIDGE TO THE N EDGES SLOWLY TO THE E. BY SUNDAY...WE SHOW LIKELY
POPS IN A GOOD PART OF SE GEORGIA ALONG AND S OF I-16 AND ALL
COASTAL AREAS. POPS IN SE SOUTH CAROLINA NUDGED INTO CHANCE
RANGES BUT AMOUNTS PROBABLY WILL BE SPOTTY AND LIGHT UNTIL
LATER ON SUNDAY...ESPECIALLY INLAND AREAS.

SHOWERS WILL CHANCES FOR SOME LOCALLY HEAVIER RAINS WILL SPREAD
N OVER THE REGION ON MON WITH A DEVELOPING AREA OF LOW PRES TO
THE S ACROSS FLORIDA OR THE EASTERN GULF OF MEXICO. IT LOOKS
LIKE COASTAL AREAS WILL BE BREEZY THIS WEEKEND INTO EARLY NEXT
WEEK WITH POTENTIAL FOR WINDY CONDITIONS BY MON...DEPENDENT
ON LOCAL GRADIENT PINCHING THE STRENGTH OF THE LOW TO OUR S.

TEMPERATURES WILL BE CLOSE TO CLIMO FOR THE MOST PART WITH HIGHS
NEAR 80S AND MILDER LOWS IN THE 60S.

&&

.LONG TERM /MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY/...
MODELS IN SLIGHTLY BETTER AGREEMENT THIS MORNING WITH RESPECT
TO THE PATTERN THROUGH MID WEEK. SURFACE LOW PRES WILL EJECT
NE ACROSS THE REGION TUE AND WED WITH TUE LOOKING LIKE THE
WETTER OF THE TWO DAYS. DEEP MOISTURE...UPPER FORCING...AND
STRONG LOW LEVEL CONVERGENCE ARE ALL SIGNS THERE COULD BE SOME
POCKETS OF 1-3 INCH RAINS ACROSS THE REGION. CLOUDY WEATHER IS
EXPECTED MID WEEK AS THE MAIN SURFACE LOW MOVES NE OF SOUTH
CAROLINA. SHOWER CHANCES LIKELY TO DIMINISH DURING WED BUT
ADDITIONAL SHORT WAVES APPROACHING AFTER MID WEEK KEEP HIGHER
THAN CLIMO POPS GOING INTO LATE WEEK. TEMPS NOT FAR FROM CLIMO
DURING MUCH OF THE PERIOD.

&&

.AVIATION /18Z FRIDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
VFR CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED AT THE TERMINALS THROUGH 18Z FRIDAY.
EXPECT SOME GUSTY WINDS TO CONTINUE THROUGH EARLY EVENING AT THE
TERMINALS...SO HAVE LEFT MENTION OF THIS IN THE TAFS.

MODEL SOLUTIONS SHOW AN INCREASE IN MOISTURE ALONG THE GEORGIA
COAST PUSHING INLAND BETWEEN 09Z AND 13Z FRIDAY...SO HAVE
MENTIONED VCSH AT THE SAV TERMINAL. CAN/T RULE OUT MVFR CIGS WITH
ANY SHOWERS THAT AFFECT THE SAV TERMINAL...BUT PROBABILITIES OF
OCCURRENCE REMAIN TOO LOW TO MENTION IN THE TAF THIS FAR OUT.
FURTHER NORTH DRIER AIR AND A LESS FAVORABLE ONSHORE WIND
COMPONENT IS EXPECTED TO KEEP ANY RAIN SHOWERS EAST OF THE CHS
TERMINAL.

EXPECT SOME GUSTY WINDS AGAIN FRIDAY AND HAVE MENTIONED THIS AT
BOTH TERMINALS BEGINNING LATE FRIDAY MORNING.

EXTENDED AVIATION OUTLOOK...PERIODIC MVFR CONDITIONS MAY DEVELOP
EARLY NEXT WEEK AS RAIN CHANCES INCREASE FROM THE SOUTH BEGINNING
LATE IN THE WEEKEND.

&&

.MARINE...
AN EXPANSIVE HIGH PRESSURE SYSTEM TO THE NORTH AND A WEAK COASTAL
TROUGH IN THE NEARBY ATLANTIC WILL RESULT IN A PINCHED SURFACE
PRESSURE GRADIENT OVER THE COASTAL WATERS THROUGH TONIGHT. A SOLID
20 TO 25 KT NORTHEAST FLOW IS EXPECTED FOR ALL COASTAL WATERS
THROUGH TONIGHT...WITH GUSTS UPWARDS OF 30 KT AT TIMES. EVEN IN
CHARLESTON HARBOR...WINDS WILL EASILY BE IN THE 15 TO 20 KT RANGE
WITH GUSTS THROUGH THIS EVENING TO 25 KT. WIND WAVES WILL STEADILY
BUILD THROUGH TONIGHT WITH A THE FAVORABLE FETCH ALSO RESULTING IN
WEAK LONG PERIOD SWELLS. GIVEN THESE CONDITIONS...A SMALL CRAFT
ADVISORY WILL REMAIN IN EFFECT FOR CHARLESTON HARBOR THROUGH THIS
EVENING AND WELL BEYOND TONIGHT FOR ALL COASTAL WATERS.

SOLID SCA CONDITIONS WILL PERSIST THIS WEEKEND WITH A TIGHT PRES
GRADIENT BECOMING EVEN TIGHTER BY SUNDAY AS A LOW PRES SYSTEM
BEGINS TO CONSOLIDATE TO THE S OF THE WATERS. A LONG ATLC FETCH WILL
KEEP SEAS 10-12 FT CLOSER TO THE GULF STREAM AND 6-8 FT WITHIN
20 NM OF THE COAST WITH POTENTIAL FOR EVEN HIGHER SEAS BY LATE IN
THE WEEKEND OR EARLY NEXT WEEK AS THE GRADIENT REMAINS TIGHT AND LOW
PRES BEGINS TO MOVE IN FROM THE SW. THERE APPEARS TO BE A PERIOD FOR
WINDS TO NEAR 35 KT IN FREQUENT GUSTS SUNDAY AND MON BUT CONFIDENCE
IS FAIRLY LOW AT THIS TIME.

RIP CURRENTS...A MODERATE RISK IS FORECAST AT ALL BEACHES
TODAY...WITH NORTHEAST WINDS OF AROUND 20 MPH AND SMALL LONG
PERIOD SWELLS EXPECTED. THE SOUTHEAST GEORGIA BEACHES COULD RISE
INTO THE HIGH RISK CATEGORY THOUGH IF WINDS ARE ANY STRONGER.
GIVEN A CONTINUED STRONG ONSHORE FETCH AND PERSISTENT SMALL SWELLS
INTO THE MIDDLE OF NEXT WEEK...THE ELEVATED RISK LOOKS TO
CONTINUE.

&&

.TIDES/COASTAL FLOODING...
CONFIDENCE IS INCREASING THAT HIGH SURF ADVISORIES WILL BE REQUIRED
OVER THE WEEKEND INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK AS SEAS CONTINUE TO BUILD...
BOTH OFFSHORE AND IN THE SURF ZONE. STRONG ONSHORE FLOW WILL ALSO
INCREASE CHANCES FOR SOME BEACH EROSION DURING HIGH TIDE CYCLES WITH
THE LONG DURATION NE FLOW EVENT. SHALLOW COASTAL FLOODING MAY BE
POSSIBLE AROUND THE TIMES OF HIGH TIDE SUNDAY INTO MON.

&&

.CHS WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
GA...NONE.
SC...NONE.
MARINE...SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY UNTIL MIDNIGHT EDT TONIGHT FOR AMZ330.
     SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY UNTIL 6 AM EDT WEDNESDAY FOR AMZ350-352-
     354-374.
