Area forecast discussion, Jun 26, 7:46 PM EDT, 28 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE CHARLESTON SC
746 PM EDT SUN JUN 26 2011

.SYNOPSIS...
THE REGION WILL REMAIN BETWEEN ATLANTIC HIGH PRESSURE AND AN
INLAND TROUGH OF LOW PRESSURE INTO MID WEEK BEFORE A COLD FRONT
APPROACHES FROM THE NORTHWEST.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM MONDAY MORNING/...
UPDATED FORECASTS TO ACCOUNT FOR NEAR TERM CONVECTIVE IMPACTS
THROUGH THIS EVENING. INSTABILITY/DOWNDRAFT CAPES EXCEEDING 1000
J/KG AND COMPLEX BOUNDARY INTERACTIONS WILL CONTINUE TO SUPPORT
BRIEF/PULSE SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS...MAINLY W OF SAV...UNTIL ABOUT
9 PM. THEN...THE INITIAL ROUND OF PULSE THUNDERSTORMS SHOULD
DIMINISH WITH DIURNAL COOLING.

ATTENTION SHIFTS UPSTREAM WHERE A QLCS IS ADVANCING THROUGH
N/CENTRAL GA. INCREASED COVERAGE OF CHANCE POPS LATE THIS EVENING
INTO THE OVERNIGHT HOURS...BUT FURTHER ASSESSMENT OF THIS FEATURE
WILL BE NECESSARY...AND SIGNIFICANT FORECAST ADJUSTMENTS COULD BE
REQUIRED THIS EVENING.

DESPITE DIURNAL COOLING/STABILIZATION...THE QLCS WILL BE
ACCOMPANIED BY A MID LEVEL COLD POOL AND WILL ADVANCE INTO AN
ENVIRONMENT FEATURING THE SEA BREEZE/NUMEROUS OUTFLOW
BOUNDARIES AND LINGERING INSTABILITY/DOWNDRAFT CAPES AROUND 1000
J/KG. THIS ENVIRONMENT COULD SUPPORT A DAMAGING WIND THREAT FOR A
FEW HOURS LATER THIS EVENING INTO THE FIRST PART OF THE OVERNIGHT
HOURS.

WHERE RAIN HAS OCCURRED...ADDED A MENTION OF PATCHY FOG OVERNIGHT.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 AM MONDAY MORNING THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
A WEAK MID AND UPPER LEVEL TROUGH WILL REMAIN OVER THE EASTERN 1/3
OF THE U.S. ON MONDAY. BY TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY...THE UPPER PATTERN
WILL BEGIN TO AMPLIFY...AS A RIDGE BUILDS OVER THE CENTRAL PORTION
OF THE COUNTRY...WHICH THEN SHARPENS THE DOWNSTREAM TROUGH OVER THE
EASTERN PORTION OF THE U.S.. A WEAK SURFACE COLD FRONT WILL APPROACH
FROM THE NORTH BY LATER TUESDAY/EARLY WEDNESDAY. THE GFS AND GEM
MODELS INDICATE THAT THIS BACKDOOR TYPE FRONT WILL GET INTO THE
NORTHERN PORTION OF THE FORECAST AREA ON WEDNESDAY...THEN WEAKEN AND
LIFT BACK NORTHWARD BEYOND THE SHORT TERM PERIOD.

MONDAY AND MONDAY NIGHT...A WEAK SURFACE LEE TROUGH WILL AGAIN BE PRESENT
OVER THE UPSTATE...AS WELL AS AN AFTERNOON SEABREEZE AND THE
POSSIBILITY OF A WEAK UPPER LEVEL DISTURBANCE MOVING ACROSS THE AREA
LATER IN THE DAY WITHIN THE WEAK UPPER LEVEL NW FLOW.  THESE
FEATURES...ALONG WITH SUFFICIENT DEEP LAYER MOISTURE AND
INSTABILITY...IS EXPECTED TO RESULT IN SCATTERED AFTERNOON AND
EVENING SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS. THEREFORE...HAVE MAINTAINED LOW
END CHANCE POPS. DESPITE UPPER HEIGHTS NOT BEING ABNORMALLY HIGH FOR
THIS TIME OF YEAR...VERY WARM MID LEVEL TEMPS WILL ALLOW FOR SURFACE
MAX TEMPS TO ONCE AGAIN REACH THE MID TO UPPER 90S MOST PLACES
EXCEPT RIGHT NEAR THE COAST. EXPECT ANY CONVECTION TO DIE DOWN
DURING THE EVENING WITH MIN TEMPS IN THE LOWER TO MID 70S.

TUESDAY AND TUESDAY NIGHT...MODELS APPEAR TO BE INDICATING BETTER
CHANCES FOR SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS DURING THIS PERIOD AS A WEAK
SURFACE FRONT MOVES TOWARD THE REGION FROM THE NNW. DEEP LAYER SW
FLOW WILL HOLD SEABREEZE CLOSER TO THE COAST...ESPECIALLY SOUTH OF
THE SAVANNAH RIVER. HAVE KEPT CHANCE POPS FOR THE AFTERNOON AND INTO
THE EVENING. THE NAM SHOWS PRECIP CONTINUING THROUGH MUCH OF THE
NIGHT AS CONVECTION AND ASSOCIATED BOUNDARIES MOVE FROM NW TO SE
INTO THE REGION. FOR NOW HAVE KEPT CHANCE POPS FROM AFTERNOON
THROUGH THE NIGHT...BUT UNCERTAINTY FOR NIGHT POPS IS HIGHER.
MID LEVEL TEMPERATURES ARE STILL DEPICTED IN THE MODELS TO BE WARM
ENOUGH TO PRODUCE MID TO UPPER 90S FOR HIGHS...BUT CONCERNED THAT IF
CONVECTIVE COVERAGE AND CLOUD COVER IS HIGHER...THIS MAY HELP KNOCK
MAXES DOWN.

WEDNESDAY...LATEST MODEL RUNS SEEM TO BE TRENDING TOWARD A
DRIER/LOWER POP DAY. THIS FORECAST WILL LARGELY DEPEND ON THE
SOUTHWARD EXTENT OF THE WEAK COLD FRONT. AS MENTIONED ABOVE...BOTH
THE GEM AND THE GFS INDICATE THE FRONT WILL GET INTO THE NORTHERN
FORECAST REGION BEFORE STALLING.  HOWEVER...GIVEN THE UNCERTAINTY OF
THIS FRONTAL FEATURE...ESPECIALLY GIVEN IT IS LATE JUNE...HAVE KEPT
LOW END POPS MOST AREAS...ESPECIALLY OVER THE SOUTHERN PORTION...
WHERE DEEP LAYER MOISTURE AND INSTABILITY WILL LIKELY BE THE BEST.
GIVEN POTENTIAL FOR A WEAK FRONT TO POTENTIALLY PROVIDE A SLIGHTLY
COOLER/DRIER AIRMASS TO THE EXTREME NORTHERN AREA...HAVE INDICATED
SOME LOWER 90S FOR HIGHS IN THAT REGION...BUT LOWER TO MID 90S REST
OF AREA.

&&

.LONG TERM /WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY/...
A WEAKENING SFC TROUGH MAY BE LINGERING JUST OFFSHORE WITH AMPLE
MOISTURE STILL OVER PORTIONS OF THE FORECAST AREA...ESPECIALLY ALONG
THE COAST. ISOLATED TO SCATTERED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL
CONTINUE WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY EVENING BEFORE SFC HIGH
PRESSURE SETTLES IN OVER THE SOUTHEAST. CONDITIONS APPEAR TO BE
SOMEWHAT DRIER EARLY THIS WEEKEND BEFORE WEAK ONSHORE FLOW RETURNS
SUNDAY. HOWEVER...CAN NOT RULE OUT ISOLATED SHOWER/THUNDERSTORM
POSSIBILITY THROUGH THE WEEKEND. OVERALL...HIGH TEMPS WILL BE AROUND
90 DEGREES THURSDAY AND FRIDAY BEFORE A SLIGHT WARMING TREND RETURNS
LATE THIS WEEKEND.

&&

.AVIATION /00Z MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/...
EARLY THIS EVENING...THUNDER WILL PERSIST AT KSAV...BUT
PRECIPITATION SHOULD REMAIN WEST OF THE TERMINAL. THEN...ATTENTION
TURNS TO THUNDERSTORMS APPROACHING THE REGION FROM THE
WEST. TOO EARLY TO FORECAST DIRECT IMPACTS...BUT MAINTAINED A
MENTION OF CBS AT KSAV INTO THE OVERNIGHT AND ADDED A MENTION AT
KCHS. EXPECT AMENDMENTS AS NEEDED. THEN...CBS SHOULD REDEVELOP
ALONG THE SEA BREEZE MONDAY AFTERNOON...THUS INCLUDED A MENTION OF
CBS AT BOTH SITES.

EXTENDED AVIATION OUTLOOK...MVFR/IFR CONDITIONS POSSIBLE EACH
AFTERNOON/EVENING WITH SHOWER/THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY...ESPECIALLY
TUE AND WED.

&&

.MARINE...
CAPPED S/SW WINDS AT 15-20 KT AND SEAS AT 3-4 FT OR LESS TONIGHT.
THUNDERSTORMS ARE NOT EXPECTED TO HOLD TOGETHER TO REACH THE
COASTAL WATERS OVERNIGHT...BUT THIS SCENARIO CANNOT BE COMPLETELY
RULED OUT.

NO HIGHLIGHTS OR BIG CONCERNS MONDAY THROUGH EARLY TUESDAY AS THE
REGION REMAINS BETWEEN A WEAK TROUGH OF LOW PRESSURE WELL
INLAND...AND HIGH PRESSURE OVER THE ATLANTIC. THIS WILL KEEP SW FLOW
OF GENERALLY 15 KTS OR LESS AND SEAS 2 TO 4 FEET. SLIGHTLY HIGHER
WIND SPEEDS POSSIBLE FOR A SHORT TIME WITHIN THE AFTERNOON
SEABREEZE. BY TUESDAY...A SURFACE TROUGH WILL BEGIN TO STRENGTHEN IN
RESPONSE TO A SHARPENING UPPER TROUGH AND APPROACHING SURFACE FRONT.
THIS PATTERN WILL HELP TO INCREASE WINDS INTO THE 15-20 KT RANGE FOR
LATER TUESDAY THROUGH EARLY WEDNESDAY BEFORE WEAKENING AGAIN. THERE
COULD BE A BRIEF PERIOD OF LOW END SCA CONDITIONS...ESPECIALLY LATER
TUESDAY NIGHT/EARLY WEDNESDAY. FOR NOW HAVE KEPT WINDS GENERALLY
BELOW 20 KTS. A WEAK BACKDOOR SURFACE FRONT MAY REACH THE NORTHERN
WATERS ON WEDNESDAY...BUT THEN WEAKEN AND MOVE BACK NORTH ON
THURSDAY. THE PRESSURE GRADIENT WILL WEAKEN FOR LATER WEDNESDAY
THROUGH FRIDAY AS HIGH PRESSURE SETTLES OVER THE REGION.
