Special Weather Statement, NWS Charleston, SC

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE CHARLESTON SC
450 PM EDT SAT AUG 6 2011

.SYNOPSIS...
A SURFACE TROUGH OF LOW PRESSURE WILL PERSIST INLAND THROUGH THE
WEEKEND. A COLD FRONT COULD APPROACH FROM THE NORTHWEST LATE
TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY...HIGH PRESSURE WILL THEN SETTLE INTO THE
REGION LATE WEEK.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM SUNDAY MORNING/...
SCATTERED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS HAVE SPREAD ALONG THE
SEABREEZE THIS AFTERNOON. ABUNDANT DEEP LAYER MOISTURE...EVIDENT
IN PWAT VALUES NEAR 2.5 INCHES...HAS ALLOWED HEAVY DOWNPOURS TO
CREATE LOCAL FLOODING WITHIN NEARLY STATIONARY STORMS. NUMEROUS
BOUNDARIES ARE EVIDENT ON RADAR...PROVIDING ADDITIONAL FOCI FOR
CONVECTIVE DEVELOPMENT. WHERE BOUNDARY INTERACTIONS OCCUR...SUCH
AS BETWEEN OUTFLOWS AND THE SEABREEZE...ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS
COULD PULSE TO SEVERE LEVELS AND PRODUCE DAMAGING WINDS.

SCATTERED CONVECTION IS EXPECTED TO CONTINUE FOR THE NEXT SEVERAL
HOURS...MAINTAINED BY THE INLAND PROGRESSION OF THE SEABREEZE AND
AFOREMENTIONED BOUNDARY INTERACTIONS. HAVE CONTINUED 20 TO 30
PERCENT RAIN CHANCES UNTIL AROUND MIDNIGHT...THEN DROP RAIN
CHANCES EVERYWHERE EXCEPT THE CHARLESTON TRI COUNTY AREA DURING
THE EARLY MORNING HOURS. IT SHOULD BE NOTED THAT THERE IS A LOT OF
UNCERTAINTY REGARDING CONVECTIVE POTENTIAL AND COVERAGE AFTER
SUNSET...AND ONGOING FORECAST WILL LIKELY NEED TO BE ADJUSTED ONCE
TRENDS BECOME MORE CLEAR.

HAVE CANCELED THE HEAT ADVISORY FOR COASTAL COUNTIES...AS TEMPERATURES
DROPPED NEARLY 20 DEGREES IN LOCATIONS THAT EXPERIENCED HEAVY RAINFALL.
THE ADVISORY WILL LIKELY BE ALLOWED TO EXPIRE AT 7 PM EDT FOR THE
REMAINING COUNTIES. LOW TEMPERATURES TONIGHT WILL REACH THE MID TO
UPPER 70S.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 AM SUNDAY MORNING THROUGH TUESDAY/...
THE LARGE SCALE PATTERN WILL FEATURE A BROAD UPPER TROF ACROSS THE
GREAT LAKES AND MID ATLANTIC AND NORTHEAST U.S. AND A FLAT RIDGE
ACROSS THE ENTIRE SOUTHERN U.S. AND FLORIDA. THIS WILL KEEP WNW
UPPER FLOW ACROSS THE REGION WITH POTENTIAL EMBEDDED SHORT
WAVES/WEAK IMPULSES AFFECTING EACH DAY. THE TIMING OF ANY UPPER
SHORT WAVES IS NEARLY IMPOSSIBLE AT THIS POINT...BUT WILL
UNFORTUNATELY BE A LARGE FACTOR IN THE DAILY COVERAGE OF
CONVECTION.

FEEL SUNDAY MAY BE THE MOST ACTIVE DAY WITH MODELS INDICATING A
SHORT WAVE AND ASSOCIATED SURFACE TROUGH ACROSS THE REGION. GIVEN
DEEP LAYER MOISTURE IN PLACE WITH PWS BETWEEN 2 AND 2.5 INCHES...
HAVE KEPT CHANCE POPS FOR MAINLY AFTERNOON AND EVENING. WOULD NOT BE
SURPRISED IF THESE POPS NEED TO BE RAISED A LITTLE MORE WITH LATER
FORECAST PACKAGES. MAX HEAT INDICES STILL SOLID HEAT ADVISORY
LEVELS. THEREFORE...WILL BE ISSUING YET ANOTHER HEAT ADVISORY FOR
TOMORROW AFTERNOON. THERE COULD BE SOME REGIONS...ESPECIALLY NEAR
THE COAST...COULD TOUCH EXCESSIVE HEAT WARNING LEVELS FOR A BRIEF
TIME TOMORROW...DEPENDING ON HOW AFTERNOON CONVECTION PLAYS OUT.

BY MONDAY...THE BEST DEEP LAYER MOISTURE AND LOW LEVEL CONVERGENCE
SEEMS TO SLIDE A TAD SOUTHWARD INTO THE SOUTHERN HALF OF THE REGION.
HAVE NUDGED POPS UP TO LOW END CHANCE FOR THE SOUTHERN PORTION OF
THE REGION AND KEPT SLIGHT CHANCE ELSE WHERE. MAX TEMPS COMBINED WITH
HIGH DEWPOINTS WILL AGAIN LIKELY RESULT IN SOLID HEAT ADVISORY CONDITIONS.

FOR TUESDAY...THE REGION WILL BE ON THE SOUTHERN FRINGE OF A PRETTY
SIGNIFICANT UPPER SHORT WAVE MOVING ACROSS THE OH RIVER VALLEY.
MODEL POPS SEEM A LITTLE LOW FOR THIS SITUATION...ESPECIALLY GIVEN
PWS STILL AROUND 2 INCHES. GIVEN UNCERTAINTY...HAVE MAINTAINED SLIGHT
CHANCE POPS FOR NOW...BUT WILL NEED TO MONITOR MODEL TRENDS FOR THE
POTENTIAL TO RAISE POPS FOR THIS PERIOD.  NO BIG SURPRISE...HEAT
INDICES EXPECTED TO BE IN SOLID ADVISORY LEVELS.

&&

.LONG TERM /TUESDAY NIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY/...
THE REGION WILL REMAIN BETWEEN A SURFACE TROUGH OF LOW PRESSURE
INLAND OVER THE CAROLINAS AND HIGHER PRESSURE WELL SOUTHEAST OF THE
AREA OVER THE ATLANTIC. THIS WILL KEEP GENERALLY SOUTH TO SOUTHWEST
WINDS OF 15 KT OR LESS AND SEAS OF 3 TO 5 FT OR LESS THROUGH THE
PERIOD. WINDS MAY INCREASE TO 15-20 KT DURING THE EVENING AND LATE
NIGHT TIME FRAME THROUGH TUESDAY NIGHT. A WEAK COLD FRONT MAY
APPROACH THE REGION FROM THE NW BY THURSDAY.

THE CIRCULATION WITH TROPICAL CYCLONE EMILY IS EXPECTED TO REMAIN
SOUTH AND EAST OF THE REGION THROUGH THE PERIOD...WITH LITTLE TO NO
DIRECT IMPACT ON THE REGION. STAY TUNED THE LATEST FORECAST FROM THE
NATIONAL HURRICANE CENTER CONCERNING THE PROGRESS OF TROPICAL
CYCLONE EMILY.

RIP CURRENTS...THERE HAS BEEN SOME LOW AMPLITUDE SWELLS OR NEAR 2 FT
PRESENT WITH PERIODS AROUND 10 SECONDS...BUT LATEST RIP CURRENT
CALCULATIONS FALLING SOLIDLY IN THE LOW CATEGORY FOR SUNDAY. WILL
CONTINUE TO KEEP AN EYE ON THE LATEST TRENDS FOR ANY CHANGES...
ESPECIALLY GIVEN THE PRESENCE OF A REGENERATED TROPICAL CYCLONE
EMILY. HOWEVER...EMILY IS EXPECTED TO REMAIN WELL SOUTHEAST OF THE
REGION...AND FEEL THAT ANY INCREASED SWELL/WAVES WITH THIS SYSTEM
WILL REMAIN OFFSHORE. THEREFORE...NOT EXPECTING ANY MAJOR RIP CURRENT
ISSUES ASSOCIATED WITH EMILY THIS WEEK.

&&

.AVIATION /19Z SATURDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/...
SCATTERED CONVECTION HAS INITIATED ALONG AND INLAND OF THE
SEABREEZE THIS AFTERNOON. HAVE INCLUDED TEMPO GROUPS FOR TSRA AT
BOTH TAF SITES THROUGH LATE AFTERNOON. GUSTY WINDS AND HEAVY RAIN
ARE POSSIBLE WITHIN ANY THUNDERSTORMS THAT DEVELOP OVER THE
TERMINALS. CONVECTIVE COVERAGE WILL LIKELY DIMINISH AFTER
SUNSET...AND ALTHOUGH AN ISOLATED CHANCE FOR PRECIPITATION COULD
PERSIST INTO THE OVERNIGHT HOURS...CONFIDENCE IS TOO LOW TO
INCLUDE IN THE EVENING/NIGHTTIME HOURS OF THE TAF FOR EITHER
TERMINAL.

THERE IS A SMALL CHANCE FOR LIGHT FOG DEVELOPMENT...ESPECIALLY IF
HEAVY RAIN IMPACTS THE TAF SITES. PREFER TO MONITOR TRENDS AND
ALLOW SUBSEQUENT TAF ISSUANCES TO ADDRESS FOG POTENTIAL...AS MODEL
GUIDANCE MAINTAINS VFR VISIBILITIES THROUGH SUNDAY MORNING.

EXTENDED AVIATION OUTLOOK...VFR WILL PREVAIL EXCEPT POSSIBLY SHORT
DURATIONS OF MVFR/IFR DURING ANY AFTERNOON CONVECTION...ESPECIALLY
SUNDAY THROUGH TUESDAY.

&&

.MARINE...
SOUTHERLY WINDS WILL INCREASE THIS EVENING AND INTO TONIGHT LATE
IN THE DAY AND CONTINUE INTO TONIGHT DUE TO SOME PINCHING OF THE
PRESSURE GRADIENT AND THE LOW LEVEL NOCTURNAL SURGE. WINDS TODAY
WILL BE AT 15 KT OR LESS...BUT WILL CLIMB TO 15-20 KT OR EVEN A
SOLID 20 KT THROUGH THE NIGHT. SEAS WILL BE COMPRISED OF BOTH WIND
DRIVEN WAVES AND LONGER PERIOD SWELLS THROUGH TONIGHT...BUT
NOTHING HIGHER THAN 3 OR 4 FT LOOKS TO OCCUR.

THE REGION WILL REMAIN BETWEEN A SURFACE TROUGH OF LOW PRESSURE
INLAND OVER THE CAROLINAS AND HIGHER PRESSURE WELL SOUTHEAST OF THE
AREA OVER THE ATLANTIC. THIS WILL KEEP GENERALLY SOUTH TO SOUTHWEST
WINDS OF 15 KT OR LESS AND SEAS OF 3 TO 5 FT OR LESS THROUGH THE
PERIOD. WINDS MAY INCREASE TO 15-20 KT DURING THE EVENING AND LATE
NIGHT TIME FRAME THROUGH TUESDAY NIGHT. A WEAK COLD FRONT MAY
APPROACH THE REGION FROM THE NW BY THURSDAY.

THE CIRCULATION WITH TROPICAL CYCLONE EMILY IS EXPECTED TO REMAIN
SOUTH AND EAST OF THE REGION THROUGH THE PERIOD...WITH LITTLE TO NO
DIRECT IMPACT ON THE REGION. STAY TUNED THE LATEST FORECAST FROM THE
NATIONAL HURRICANE CENTER CONCERNING THE PROGRESS OF TROPICAL
CYCLONE EMILY.

RIP CURRENTS...THERE HAS BEEN SOME LOW AMPLITUDE SWELLS OR NEAR 2 FT
PRESENT WITH PERIODS AROUND 10 SECONDS...BUT LATEST RIP CURRENT
CALCULATIONS FALLING SOLIDLY IN THE LOW CATEGORY FOR SUNDAY. WILL
CONTINUE TO KEEP AN EYE ON THE LATEST TRENDS FOR ANY CHANGES...
ESPECIALLY GIVEN THE PRESENCE OF A REGENERATED TROPICAL CYCLONE
EMILY. HOWEVER...EMILY IS EXPECTED TO REMAIN WELL SOUTHEAST OF THE
REGION...AND FEEL THAT ANY INCREASED SWELL/WAVES WITH THIS SYSTEM
WILL REMAIN OFFSHORE. THEREFORE...NOT EXPECTING ANY MAJOR RIP CURRENT
ISSUES ASSOCIATED WITH EMILY THIS WEEK.
