AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE COLUMBIA SC
229 PM EDT FRI JUN 29 2012

.SYNOPSIS...

RECORD OR NEAR RECORD HIGH TEMPERATURES THROUGH EARLY NEXT WEEK.
HIGH PRESSURE WILL REMAIN OVER THE REGION THROUGH THE WEEKEND AND
COMBINE WITH A STRONG UPPER LEVEL RIDGE TO CREATE DAYTIME HIGH
TEMPERATURES AT OR ABOVE 100 DEGREES.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...

CAE HAS ALREADY SET A NEW RECORD HIGH FOR TODAY...UP TO 106 DEGREES
AT 1250 PM.

MID/UPPER LEVEL RIDGE OF HIGH PRESSURE HAS SETTLED OVER THE REGION.
PRECIPITABLE WATER HAS COME UP TO AROUND ONE INCH. DOWNSLOPE FLOW
JUST WEST OF THERMAL TROUGH COMBINED WITH SUBSIDENCE ASSOCIATED
WITH THE AREA OF HIGH PRESSURE ALL POINT TO HIGHER TEMPERATURES.
DEWPOINTS DOWN TO THE MID 50S WEST TO MID 60S EAST...TO KEEP HEAT
INDEX/APPARENT TEMPERATURES BELOW HEAT ADVISORY CRITERIA.

OVER THE PAST FEW DAYS TEMPERATURES HAVE BEEN SLIGHTLY HIGHER
THAN GUIDANCE. THIS WILL PLACE AFTERNOON MAX TEMPERATURES JUST
ABOVE RECORD HIGHS FOR THE COLUMBIA AREA (107 FORECAST VS 103
RECORD IN 1936) AND FOR AUGUSTA AREA (106 FORECAST VS 105 RECORD
IN 1936...105 DEGREES IS ALSO THE ALL-TIME HOTTEST JUNE
TEMPERATURE ON RECORD FOR AUGUSTA).

VERY WARM AIRMASS WILL CONTINUE OVERNIGHT UNDER CLEAR SKIES. SHOULD
SEE OVERNIGHT LOWS IN THE MID TO UPPER 70S.

&&

.SHORT TERM /SATURDAY THROUGH SUNDAY NIGHT/...

EXTREMELY HOT CONDITIONS EXPECTED TO CONTINUE THROUGH THE WEEKEND
AS THE UPPER HIGH REMAINS CENTERED OVER THE FORECAST AREA. MODELS
CONTINUE TO FORECAST 850MB TEMPERATURES AROUND +26C FOR SATURDAY
WITH A POSSIBLE SLIGHT DECREASE IN TEMPERATURE ON SUNDAY. SOME
DOWNSLOPING NORTHWESTERLY FLOW HELPED TEMPERATURES PUSH WELL ABOVE
100 DEGREES TODAY BUT THE DOWNSLOPING FLOW WILL NOT BE PRESENT
OVER THE WEEKEND...SO AM EXPECTING TEMPERATURES TO BE SLIGHTLY
COOLER. MOS GUIDANCE IS CLUSTERED AROUND 104-108 ACROSS THE
FORECAST AREA AND WILL CARRY RECORD HIGHS AGAIN FOR SATURDAY AND
SUNDAY.

DESPITE INCREASING SURFACE MOISTURE...ANOTHER DRY DAY IS EXPECTED
SATURDAY WITH 700MB TEMPERATURES AROUND +12C AND A CAPPING
SUBSIDENCE INVERSION IN PLACE UNDER THE UPPER HIGH. DEWPOINTS ARE
LESS LIKELY TO MIX OUT AS MUCH ON SATURDAY COMPARED TO TODAY WITH
WINDS TURNING MORE SOUTH TO SOUTHEASTERLY WHICH WILL LEAD TO
INCREASED HUMIDITY. THE COMBINATION OF VERY HOT TEMPERATURES AND
INCREASED HUMIDITY WILL LEAD TO HEAT INDEX VALUES SURPASSING THE
HEAT ADVISORY CRITERIA OF 110 DEGREES AND WILL BE ISSUING A HEAD
ADVISORY. CONSIDERED A POSSIBLE EXCESSIVE HEAT WATCH DUE TO MODEL
DEWPOINTS IN THE 70S BUT AM NOT CONFIDENT TEMPERATURES AND
DEWPOINTS WILL BE BOTH THAT HIGH.

BY SUNDAY THE UPPER RIDGE SHOWS SIGNS OF WEAKENING WITH TROUGHING
ACROSS THE GREAT LAKES AND NORTHEAST AND SHOULD RESULT IN SLIGHTLY
COOLER TEMPERATURES IN THE 100-105 RANGE. ATMOSPHERIC MOISTURE
WILL BE INCREASING AS PRECIPITABLE WATER VALUES INCREASE TO AROUND
A HALF INCH. 700MB TEMPERATURES REMAIN VERY WARM AROUND THE MAGIC
+10C NUMBER BUT MODELS ARE INDICATING SOME CONVECTION DEVELOPING
SO WILL INCLUDE ISOLATED STORMS WITH A VERY UNSTABLE AIRMASS. HEAT
ADVISORIES WILL LIKELY BE NEEDED AGAIN FOR SUNDAY.

&&

.LONG TERM /MONDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/...

MEDIUM RANGE GUIDANCE IS IN FAIR AGREEMENT WITH THE OVERALL UPPER
PATTERN FOR THE FIRST PART OF THE PERIOD...THEN DIVERGES A BIT BY
THE END OF THE WEEK WITH THE ECMWF REBUILDING AN EXPANSIVE UPPER
RIDGE WHILE THE GFS KEEPS IT SUPPRESSED WITH EAST COAST TROUGHING.

A SLIGHT COOLING TREND IS EXPECTED DURING THIS PERIOD AS THE UPPER
RIDGE BECOMES SUPPRESSED AND RETROGRADES WESTWARD BACK OVER THE
PLAINS AND INTERMOUNTAIN WEST.  THIS WILL PROVIDE A MORE
NORTHWESTERLY FLOW ALOFT WITH TROUGHING ACROSS THE NORTHEAST AND
MID-ATLANTIC STATES...AND A LOWERING OF 850MB TEMPERATURES.  MAX
TEMPERATURES SHOULD REMAIN ABOVE NORMAL BUT COOL INTO THE UPPER AND
MID 90S.

PRECIPITABLE WATER VALUES WILL ALSO INCREASE BY THE MIDDLE OF THE
WEEK TO AROUND 1.75 TO 2 INCHES AND THIS WILL LEAD TO ISOLATED
AFTERNOON AND EVENING DIURNAL CONVECTION THROUGHOUT THE EXTENDED
PERIOD. IF THE GFS VERIFIES THERE WILL BE SHORTWAVE ENERGY MOVING
DOWN THE BACKSIDE OF THE UPPER RIDGE THAT COULD PROVIDE BETTER
SUPPORT FOR HIGHER POPS BUT AT THIS TIME CONFIDENCE IS LOW.

&&

.AVIATION /18Z FRIDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...

VFR CONDITIONS WILL CONTINUE THROUGH THE 24 HOUR TAF PERIOD.
LARGE UPPER RIDGE AND A DRY ATMOSPHERE WILL REMAIN IN PLACE.
SOME GUIDANCE INDICATING MVFR FOG AT AGS/OGB 09Z-13Z FRIDAY. WILL
NOT MENTION MVFR FOG IN TAFS SINCE CONFIDENCE IS LOW.

EXTENDED AVIATION OUTLOOK...NO SIGNIFICANT IMPACTS TO AVIATION
EXPECTED.
