AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE CHARLESTON SC
1124 AM EDT FRI MAY 27 2011

.SYNOPSIS...
A TROUGH ALOFT WILL IMPACT THE AREA INTO EARLY TONIGHT...FOLLOWED
BY ATLANTIC HIGH PRESSURE SATURDAY THROUGH AT LEAST THE MIDDLE OF
NEXT WEEK. A COLD FRONT COULD APPROACH THE REGION FROM THE NORTH
LATE NEXT WEEK.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 PM THIS EVENING/...
SHOWER AND THUNDERSTORM POTENTIAL FOR THE FORECAST AREA IS MUCH
IMPROVED TODAY COMPARED TO EARLIER THIS WEEK...AS SUBSIDENCE AND
CAPPING HAVE WEAKENED AHEAD OF AN APPROACHING UPPER TROUGH FROM
THE WEST. LATEST RADAR IMAGERY SHOWS ISOLATED SHOWERS ACROSS THE
CHARLESTON TRI COUNTY AREA...WHILE A CLUSTER OF THUNDERSTORMS
SLOWLY APPROACHES SCREVEN AND JENKINS COUNTIES IN SOUTHEAST
GEORGIA.

SHORTWAVE ENERGY AND DEEP MOISTURE ACCOMPANY THE UPPER TROUGH AS
THE TAIL END OF THE SYSTEM SHIFTS ACROSS SOUTH CAROLINA AND
EASTERN GEORGIA THIS AFTERNOON. THICK CLOUD COVER AND LOWER
HEIGHTS WILL LIMIT WARMING POTENTIAL...HOWEVER MODIFIED MORNING
SOUNDINGS FROM BOTH CHARLESTON AND JACKSONVILLE INDICATE THAT
INSTABILITY WILL STILL BE QUITE HIGH THIS AFTERNOON AND SUPPORTIVE
OF SCATTERED TO NUMEROUS THUNDERSTORMS. THE MAIN FORECAST CONCERN
IS IN REGARDS TO COVERAGE AND STRENGTH OF CONVECTION.

HAVE ADJUSTED HOURLY POPS TO ACCOUNT FOR LATEST RADAR TRENDS...AS
WELL AS 12Z NAM AND 06Z WRF DEPICTIONS OF PRECIPITATION EVOLUTION.
CURRENT THINKING IS THAT CONVECTIVE COVERAGE WILL INITIALLY BE
FOCUSED ACROSS THE SOUTH CAROLINA COUNTIES...DUE TO A BAND OF
MOISTURE CONVERGENCE STRETCHING FROM THE COASTAL WATERS INTO THE
CHARLESTON TRI COUNTY AREA. CONVECTION IS THEN EXPECTED TO
INITIATE ALONG AND WEST OF THE SEABREEZE BOUNDARY...WITH THE
GREATEST CONVECTIVE COVERAGE ACROSS INLAND LOCATIONS BY MID
AFTERNOON AS THE STRONGEST SHORTWAVE SHIFTS INTO THE AREA.
RAIN POTENTIAL FOR THE SOUTH CAROLINA COASTAL COUNTIES IS ALSO
QUESTIONABLE DURING THE AFTERNOON...DEPENDING HEAVILY ON THE
PERSISTENCE OF THE AFOREMENTIONED MOISTURE CONVERGENCE AND THE
INLAND PROGRESSION OF A WEAKER SEABREEZE.

STORM PREDICTION CENTER MAINTAINS A 5 PERCENT RISK FOR SEVERE
WEATHER ACROSS THE AREA THIS AFTERNOON. ALTHOUGH THE MAJORITY OF
UPPER LEVEL ENERGY WILL SHIFT NORTH OF THE REGION TODAY...VARIOUS
CONVECTIVE PARAMETERS CONTINUE TO SUGGEST THAT MARGINALLY SEVERE
WINDS AND HAIL COULD BE A CONCERN IF AFTERNOON STORMS CAN
INTENSIFY. CONSIDERING THE POTENTIAL FOR BOUNDARY INTERACTIONS
FROM DIFFERENTIAL HEATING...THE SEA BREEZE AND OUTFLOW FROM
UPSTREAM CONVECTION...ISOLATED STRONG TO SEVERE STORMS REMAIN A
POSSIBILITY. WILL CONTINUE TO MENTION THE POSSIBILITY OF THESE
CONDITIONS TO THE HAZARDOUS WEATHER OUTLOOK

NO CHANGES WERE NEEDED TO THE ONGOING TEMPERATURE FORECAST
ACCORDING TO LATEST HOURLY TRENDS. NOTICEABLY COOLER CONDITIONS
ARE EXPECTED...WITH HIGHS GENERALLY IN THE MID TO UPPER 80S AWAY
FROM THE LOCALLY COOLER COASTLINE.

HAVE NOT YET SEEN ANY INDICATIONS OF SMOKE FROM THE WILDFIRE IN
THE OKEFENOKEE SWAMP REACHING INTO THE SOUTHERN COUNTIES.
HOWEVER...GIVEN THE SOUTHERLY SYNOPTIC FLOW...THERE STILL COULD
BE SOME SMOKE IN PARTS OF INTERIOR SOUTHEAST GEORGIA INTO EARLY THIS
AFTERNOON PRIOR TO THE SEA BREEZE PASSAGE.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 PM THIS EVENING THROUGH MONDAY/...
CONVECTION WILL DIMINISH IN STRENGTH AND COVERAGE BY MIDNIGHT WITH
THE LOSS OF INSTABILITY AND EVENTUALLY THE PASSAGE OF THE TROUGH
ALOFT OVERNIGHT.

SATURDAY...A SHEAR AXIS...THE REMNANTS OF THE UPPER TROUGH...WILL
PERSIST OVER N/E COUNTIES BETWEEN AN UPPER RIDGE OVER THE WESTERN
ATLANTIC AND ANOTHER UPPER RIDGE BUILDING TOWARD THE REGION FROM THE
SW. A FEW SHOWERS/THUNDERSTORMS COULD BE ONGOING IN THE VICINITY OF
THE SHEAR AXIS TO START THE DAY OVER THE COASTAL WATERS AND SC
COASTAL COUNTIES. THEN...DESTABILIZATION AND SEA BREEZE CONVERGENCE
COULD PUSH THE THREAT FOR ISOLATED/SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS INLAND
DURING THE AFTERNOON.

SUNDAY/MONDAY...THE UPPER RIDGE WILL STRENGTHEN AND EXPAND ACROSS
THE EASTERN US. WHILE ISOLATED DIURNAL SHOWERS/THUNDERSTORMS CANNOT
BE RULED OUT ALONG THE SEA BREEZE DURING THE DAY AND OVER COASTAL
WATERS AT NIGHT...SUBSIDENCE/CAPPING SHOULD GREATLY LIMIT
COVERAGE/DURATION OF DEEP MOIST CONVECTION. THUS...HELD POPS BELOW
15 PERCENT SUNDAY THROUGH MONDAY.

ONSHORE FLOW SHOULD HOLD TEMPERATURES CLOSE TO NORMAL THROUGH THE
PERIOD.

&&

.LONG TERM /MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY/...
THE BLOCKING PATTERN FEATURING THE DEEP LAYER UPPER RIDGE SHOULD
PERSIST WITH LITTLE/NO DIURNAL PRECIPITATION AND NEAR NORMAL
TEMPERATURES THROUGH MIDWEEK. THEN...THE UPPER RIDGE WILL SHIFT WEST
DURING THE LATTER HALF OF THE WEEK...ALLOWING AN UPPER TROUGH TO
AMPLIFY OVER THE NE US AND PUSHING A COLD FRONT TOWARD THE FORECAST
AREA. WHILE THE FRONT COULD EVENTUALLY STALL NORTH OF THE REGION...A
WEAKENED CAP AND POOLING OF MOISTURE/INSTABILITY SOUTH OF THE
BOUNDARY SHOULD SUPPORT AN INCREASING CHANCE FOR
SHOWERS/THUNDERSTORMS THURSDAY/FRIDAY.

&&

.AVIATION /15Z FRIDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...
EXPECT AN INCREASE OF SHRA/TSRA THROUGH THIS AFTERNOON AND
EVENING WITH THE APPROACH OF A DEEP LAYERED TROUGH ALOFT
INTERACTING WITH VARIOUS LOW LEVEL BOUNDARIES. THE SEA BREEZE WILL
LIKELY PUSH INLAND OF KCHS BY THE TIME THE LARGER COVERAGE OF
CONVECTION DEVELOPS...SO HAVE JUST CONTINUED CB CLOUDS THROUGH
01Z. KSAV HAS A GREATER PROBABILITY OF EXPERIENCING SHRA OR TSRA
WITH A LATER PROGRESSION OF THE SEA BREEZE INLAND. HOWEVER
CONFIDENCE IS NOT YET SUFFICIENT ENOUGH TO INCLUDE ANYTHING MORE
THAN CB AT THIS TIME THROUGH 02Z.

EXTENDED AVIATION OUTLOOK...NO SIGNIFICANT WEATHER IS EXPECTED.

&&

.MARINE...
FOR TODAY INTO TONIGHT THE LOCAL WATERS WILL BE LOCATED ACROSS
THE WESTERN SIDE OF THE ATLANTIC RIDGE. HAVE MADE SOME ADJUSTMENTS
TO THE FORECAST TO INCLUDE SLIGHTLY HIGHER WINDS WITH THE SEA
BREEZE CIRCULATION THIS AFTERNOON...YET CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED TO
STILL REMAIN BELOW ADVISORY CRITERIA. THE NOCTURNAL SURGE TONIGHT
WILL BE SUBTLE AT BEST. THUS SOUTHEAST TO SOUTH WINDS WILL LIKELY
REMAIN 15 KT OR LESS THIS EVENING AND OVERNIGHT...WITH THE WAVE
SPECTRUM COMPRISED MAINLY OF SHORT PERIOD WIND DRIVEN WAVES OF 3
OR 4 FT.

MARINERS ARE ADVISED THAT SOME THUNDERSTORMS WILL OCCUR FOR THE
FIRST TIME IN MANY DAYS...MAINLY TONIGHT. AND THERE IS A SMALL
POSSIBILITY OF SOME GUSTY WINDS TO OCCUR WITH A FEW OF THESE
STORMS.

SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY CONDITIONS ARE NOT EXPECTED SATURDAY THROUGH
WEDNESDAY. S/SE WINDS SATURDAY WILL TURN TOWARD THE E AND EVEN
OCCASIONALLY NE...ENHANCED EACH DAY BY THE SEA BREEZE
CIRCULATION...AS HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS AND PERSISTS NE OF THE
WATERS. THE LONG DURATION E/NE FLOW COULD PUSH SEAS TO AS HIGH AS
3-5 FT EARLY TO MID WEEK.

&&

.CHS WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
GA...NONE.
SC...NONE.
MARINE...NONE.
