AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE CHARLESTON SC
1145 PM EDT WED JUN 15 2011

.SYNOPSIS...
WEAK HIGH PRESSURE OVER THE COASTAL CAROLINAS WILL RETREAT OFF
THE COAST LATE TONIGHT AND THURSDAY...AS A WARM FRONT LIFTS NORTH
ACROSS THE AREA. ANOTHER FRONT WILL BECOME NEARLY STATIONARY
ACROSS THE CAROLINAS ON FRIDAY...THEN LINGER THROUGH THE WEEKEND.
THIS FRONT WILL LIFT NORTH EARLY NEXT WEEK AS ATLANTIC HIGH
PRESSURE BEGINS TO BUILD BACK TOWARD THE AREA.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM THURSDAY MORNING/...
A QUASI-LINEAR CONVECTIVE SYSTEM /QLCS/ CONTINUES TO RACE SOUTHEAST
THROUGH THE FORECAST AREA THIS HOUR. A SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH
HAS BEEN ISSUED FOR THE ENTIRE AREA THROUGH 1 AM...WHILE SEVERAL
WARNINGS HAVE ALSO BEEN ISSUED ALONG THE CONVECTIVE LINE. MAIN
HAZARDS WITH SEVERE CONVECTION WILL BE DAMAGING WINDS AND LARGE
HAIL. HAVE ADJUSTED POPS TO FOLLOW THE LINE OF CONVECTION EAST
THROUGH THE AREA DURING THE LATE NIGHT HOURS.

SOUTHEASTERLY WINDS WILL SHIFT MORE SOUTHERLY THIS EVENING...WHICH
COULD ADVECT SMOKE ASSOCIATED WITH WILDFIRES ACROSS NORTHERN FLORIDA
AND SOUTHERN GEORGIA INTO SOUTHERN PORTIONS OF THE CWA. AREAS OF
SMOKE COULD REDUCE VISIBILITIES AT TIMES TONIGHT...BUT THERE IS
SOME UNCERTAINTY WHETHER ONGOING CONVECTION COULD PRODUCE ENOUGH
MIXING TO LIMIT THE IMPACTS OF THE SMOKE.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 AM THURSDAY MORNING THROUGH SATURDAY/...
THURSDAY AND FRIDAY...THE FORECAST AREA WILL BE LOCATED BETWEEN AN
UPPER LOW SHIFTING EAST THROUGH THE OHIO VALLEY/MID ATLANTIC AND
BROAD UPPER HIGH PRESSURE NEAR TEXAS. SEVERAL SHORTWAVE TROUGHS WILL DIVE
SOUTHEAST OVER THE SOUTHEAST STATES BETWEEN THESE TWO
SYSTEMS...WHICH WILL BRING SEVERAL CHANCES FOR RAIN. HOWEVER...AS IS
USUALLY THE CASE...THE TIMING OF THESE SHORTWAVE TROUGHS ARE
DIFFICULT SO PINNING DOWN EXACT CONVECTIVE DETAILS IS TRICKY. HAVE
CARRIED THE HIGHEST CHANCES THURSDAY...MAINLY ACROSS NORTHERN AND
WESTERN PORTIONS OF THE FORECAST AREA WHERE THE GREATEST COVERAGE
SHOULD BE. DECENT BULK SHEAR MAY LEAD TO SOME STRONG TO SEVERE
STORMS...BUT MUCH DEPENDS ON THE AMOUNT OF INSTABILITY THAT CAN
DEVELOP...WHICH OF COURSE DEPENDS ON THE STRENGTH/COVERAGE OF
ACTIVITY IN THE MORNING. WITH BETTER RAIN CHANCES EXPECTED
THURSDAY...TEMPERATURES MAY BE HELD CLOSER TO NORMAL...WITH
TEMPERATURES LIKELY REBOUNDING ABOVE NORMAL FRIDAY.

WILL HAVE TO KEEP AN EYE ON THE SMOKE BEING GENERATED FROM THE LARGE
WILDFIRES ACROSS SOUTHEAST GEORGIA AND NORTHERN FLORIDA WHICH COULD
MAKE IT/S WAY INTO AT LEAST COASTAL PORTIONS OF SOUTHEAST GEORGIA ON
THURSDAY AS LOW-LEVEL WINDS SHIFT TO THE SOUTH/SOUTHWEST.

SATURDAY...AN APPROACHING COLD FRONT IS EXPECTED TO REMAIN STALLED
NORTH OF THE AREA...AS THE SOUTHEAST STATES ARE PINNED BETWEEN WEAK
UPPER TROUGHING TO THE NORTH AND UPPER RIDGING GRADUALLY BUILDING
TOWARD THE REGION FROM THE GULF OF MEXICO. WILL FORECAST ONLY A
SLIGHT CHANCE FOR DIURNAL SHOWERS/THUNDERSTORMS LACKING ANY
DISCERNIBLE SYNOPTIC LEVEL SUPPORT AT THIS TIME. TEMPERATURES WILL
BE WELL ABOVE NORMAL GIVEN MORE OF AN OFFSHORE FLOW AHEAD OF THE
FRONT.

&&

.LONG TERM /SATURDAY NIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
UPPER RIDGING ACROSS THE SOUTHERN PLAINS AND WESTERN GULF OF
MEXICO WILL CONTINUE TO STRETCH INTO THE SOUTHEAST STATES OVER THE
WEEKEND AND INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK. FORECAST MODELS DO AGREE THAT
THE LINGERING FRONT TO THE NORTH AND ITS ASSOCIATED WAVE OF LOW
PRESSURE WILL MANAGE TO DRIFT SOUTH TOWARD THE FORECAST AREA BY
MONDAY...EITHER DISSIPATING OVER THE REGION OR PULLING OVER THE
ATLANTIC WATERS. DETAILS OF THESE SYNOPTIC SCALE FEATURES ARE
STILL REPRESENTED DIFFERENTLY BETWEEN MID RANGE MODEL
SOLUTIONS...AND WILL CONTINUE TO FORECAST JUST SLIGHT CHANCE POPS
SUNDAY THROUGH TUESDAY FOR THE CLIMATOLOGICALLY FAVORED
AFTERNOON/EVENING HOURS. TEMPERATURES WILL CONTINUE TO RUN
SLIGHTLY ABOVE NORMAL THROUGH THE EXTENDED PERIOD...WITH HIGHS
GENERALLY IN THE LOW TO MID 90S AWAY FROM THE COAST AND LOWS IN
THE LOW 70S EACH NIGHT.

&&

.AVIATION /04Z THURSDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...
SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL BECOME LIKELY SHORTLY AFTER
MIDNIGHT AND CONTINUE THROUGH MUCH OF THE OVERNIGHT HOURS...POSSIBLY
REDUCING CEILINGS AND VISIBILITIES TO MVFR OR LOWER LEVELS AT TIMES.
OTHERWISE...VFR CONDITIONS SHOULD PREVAIL.

EXTENDED AVIATION OUTLOOK...WILL KEEP AN EYE ON SMOKE FROM
WILDFIRES ACROSS SE GEORGIA AND N FLORIDA WHICH COULD REDUCE VSBYS
AS IT BEGINS TO MOVE N/NE THROUGH AT LEAST THU.

&&

.MARINE...
THE PRESSURE GRADIENT BETWEEN LOWER PRESSURE TO OUR NORTH AND THE
RIDGE TO THE SOUTHEAST WILL BEGIN TO ENHANCE A SOUTHERLY SURGE
TONIGHT. MOST OF OUR WATERS SHOULD SEE WIND SPEEDS BUILD TO NEAR
15 KT TONIGHT WITH FAVORABLE GEORGIA WATERS AND GRAYS REEF LIKELY
TO SEE 15 TO 20 KT FOR A PERIOD. SEAS WILL BUILD TO 3 FT OVERNIGHT
AS THE WINDS INCREASE AND NOCTURNAL JETTING TAKES HOLD.
ALSO...ADDED PATCHY SMOKE ACROSS AMZ354 EARLY THURSDAY MORNING AS
SMOKE ASSOCIATED WITH WILDFIRES ACROSS NORTHERN FLORIDA AND
SOUTHERN GEORGIA ADVECT ACROSS THE WATERS.

THURSDAY THROUGH MONDAY...WEAK ATLANTIC HIGH PRESSURE WILL SET UP
LATE IN THE WEEK AND THROUGH THE WEEKEND...WITH A SURFACE TROUGH OF
LOW PRESSURE DEVELOPING INLAND. AN ASSOCIATED COLD FRONT WILL
APPROACH BUT WILL STALL NORTH OF THE WATERS. NOCTURNAL SURGES COULD
PUSH SOUTHERLY WINDS UPWARDS OF 15-20 KT AT TIMES EACH NIGHT...WITH
SOME LOCAL ENHANCEMENTS NEAR THE LAND/SEA INTERFACE EACH AFTERNOON.
SEAS ARE FORECAST TO BUILD UP TO 5 FT...MAINLY BEYOND 20 NM FROM THE
COAST. OVERALL...CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED TO REMAIN BELOW SMALL CRAFT
ADVISORY CRITERIA.
