AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE CHARLESTON SC
242 PM EDT TUE MAY 29 2012

.SYNOPSIS...
TROPICAL DEPRESSION BERYL WILL MOVE ACROSS NORTHEAST FLORIDA AND
SOUTHEAST GEORGIA TODAY AND ACROSS SOUTHEAST SOUTH CAROLINA
TONIGHT. THE DEPRESSION WILL MOVE WELL OFFSHORE WEDNESDAY.
A COLD FRONT APPROACHING FROM THE WEST COULD IMPACT THE AREA FOR
THE LATE WEEK PERIOD...WITH HIGH PRESSURE FOLLOWING IN ITS WAKE
THROUGH EARLY NEXT WEEK.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 PM THIS EVENING/...
HAVE MADE ADJUSTMENTS TO POPS AND TEMPS GIVEN LATEST TRENDS.
MORE SCATTERED CLOUD COVER OVER THE NORTHERN 1/3 OF THE REGION HAS
ALLOWED TEMPS TO CLIMB INTO THE MID 80S AND HAVE THEREFORE
INCREASED MAX TEMPS IN THAT REGION. THINK TEMPS HAVE PRETTY MUCH
REACHED THEIR PEAK SINCE THICKER CLOUDS ADVANCING FROM SOUTH TO
NORTH TOWARD THE AREA.

PRECIP CHANCES HAVE BEEN A BIG CHALLENGE TODAY. LATEST RADAR
TRENDS CONTINUE TO INDICATE VERY SCATTERED COVERAGE OVER THE
NORTHERN 1/3 OF THE REGION. HAVE LOWERED CURRENT POPS...BUT THEN
CONTINUED UPWARD TREND FOR LATER THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING. HAVE
BEEN GETTING SOME GUSTY WINDS OF 30-35 MPH OUT OF STRONGER
SHOWERS.

INCREASING PRESSURE GRADIENT NORTH AND EAST OF THE TD BERYL HAS
RESULTED IN SLIGHTLY STRONGER WINDS OVER THE NORTHERN HALF OF THE
REGION THAN PREVIOUSLY FORECAST. THUS...HAVE INCREASED WINDS TO
MATCH LATEST TRENDS.

BEGINNING TO MORE SERIOUSLY CONSIDER WHETHER OR NOT TO KEEP THE
FLASH FLOOD WATCH GOING. DRIER AIR AT MID AND UPPER LEVELS SEEMS
TO CONTINUE TO SLOWLY WRAP INTO THE SW SIDE OF THE TD...WHICH MAY
BE LIMITING OVERALL PRECIP COVERAGE AND INTENSITY. WFO JAX HAS
JUST DROPPED THERE FLOOD WATCH TO OUR SOUTH...AND WILL MAKE A
FINAL DECISION FOR LATE AFTERNOON PACKAGE.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 PM THIS EVENING THROUGH FRIDAY/...
WIDESPREAD HEAVY RAINS WILL BE ONGOING BY SUNSET AS TROPICAL
DEPRESSION BERYL APPROACHES THE SAVANNAH RIVER. THE CYCLONE WILL
MEANDER ACROSS THE LOW COUNTRY OVERNIGHT BEFORE EMERGING OFF THE
NORTHEAST COAST OF SOUTH CAROLINA SOMETIME AFTER SUNRISE
WEDNESDAY. THE RISK FOR TORRENTIAL RAINFALL WILL PERSIST WITH THE
FLASH FLOOD THREAT REMAINING HIGHEST EAST OF INTERSTATE 95. RAIN
CHANCES WILL GRADUALLY DIMINISH FROM SOUTHWEST-NORTHEAST AFTER
MIDNIGHT AS BERYL APPROACHES THE COAST AND THE AXIS OF DEEPEST
TROPICAL MOISTURE SLOWLY SHIFTS OFFSHORE. LOWS WILL RANGE FROM THE
UPPER 60S ACROSS INTERIOR SOUTHEAST GEORGIA TO THE LOWER 70S AT
THE COAST.

WEDNESDAY...BERYL WILL CONTINUE TO EJECT TO THE NORTHEAST AHEAD
OF A BROAD UPPER TROUGH APPROACHING FROM THE WEST. SOLID RAIN
CHANCES WILL CONTINUE THROUGH THE MORNING HOURS...ESPECIALLY
ACROSS NORTHERN SECTIONS OF THE FORECAST AREA CLOSEST TO THE
DEPARTING SYSTEM. SHOWER ACTIVITY WILL THEN GENERALLY DIMINISH IN
COVERAGE FROM SOUTHWEST TO NORTHEAST AS THE DAY PROGRESSES...WITH
DEEP MOISTURE AND CONVERGENCE SHIFTING AWAY FROM THE REGION.
HOWEVER...THERE ARE SOME INDICATIONS THAT RESIDUAL LOW/MID LEVEL
MOISTURE AND INSTABILITY ACROSS SOUTHEAST GEORGIA COULD SPAWN
ISOLATED TO SCATTERED DIURNALLY DRIVEN SHOWERS/THUNDERSTORMS
DURING THE LATE AFTERNOON/EARLY EVENING HOURS. DEEP DOWNSLOPE FLOW
BEHIND BERYL...COMBINED WITH BETTER INSOLATION UNDER SCATTERING
SKY COVER...WILL ALLOW TEMPERATURES TO RISE NOTABLY HIGHER THAN
TUESDAY. EXPECT A HIGH TEMPERATURE GRADIENT RANGING FROM THE MID
80S NORTHERN SECTIONS UNDER LINGERING CLOUD COVER...TO AROUND 90
DEGREES SOUTHEAST GEORGIA...WITH LOCALLY COOLER CONDITIONS ALONG
THE COASTLINE. HAVE INTRODUCED RAIN FREE CONDITIONS AFTER
MIDNIGHT...WITH LOWS IN THE UPPER 60S TO AROUND 70 DEGREES.

THURSDAY...A DEEP TROUGH WILL BE MOVING INTO THE MISSISSIPPI
VALLEY...SPAWNING A WELL DEFINED SURFACE LOW AND FRONTAL SYSTEM
SHIFTING INTO THE OHIO VALLEY LATE IN THE DAY. A WARM FRONTAL
FEATURE WILL LIFT NORTHWARD OVER THE FORECAST AREA DOWNSTREAM OF
THE SYSTEM...SUPPORTING ISOLATED TO SCATTERED SHOWERS/THUNDERSTORMS
INTO THE NIGHTTIME HOURS. THE WARMING TREND WILL CONTINUE...WITH
DEEP SOUTHERLY FLOW ALLOWING HIGH TEMPERATURES TO PEAK IN THE
LOWER 90S.

FRIDAY...BOTH 00Z GFS AND ECMWF SHOW THE STRONG UPPER TROUGH
BECOMING NEGATIVELY TILTED AS IT SWINGS THROUGH THE OHIO VALLEY
AND GREAT LAKES REGION LATE IN THE WEEK. WHILE THE ASSOCIATED
SURFACE LOW SHIFTS NORTHEAST WITH THE UPPER LEVEL ENERGY...THE
TRAILING COLD FRONT WILL SWEEP EASTWARD TOWARD THE FORECAST AREA.
THERE REMAINS SOME TIMING DISCREPANCIES BETWEEN NUMERICAL MODEL
SOLUTIONS...HOWEVER GENERAL CONSENSUS SEEMS TO SUGGEST THE FRONT
COULD CROSS THE COASTLINE NO EARLIER THAN THE EVENING HOURS. AT
THIS POINT...WILL CONTINUE TO ADVERTISE SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS
DURING THE DAYTIME HOURS ON FRIDAY...WHEN DIURNAL INSTABILITY
WILL BE MOST ENHANCED AHEAD OF THE APPROACHING FRONTAL SYSTEM. DUE
TO TIMING UNCERTAINTIES...PREFER TO CAP POPS FRIDAY AFTERNOON IN
THE 30 PERCENT RANGE. STRONG SOUTHERLY FLOW WILL MAINTAIN WARM
CONDITIONS ON FRIDAY PEAKING AROUND 90 DEGREES...JUST A DEGREE OR
TWO COOLER THAN THURSDAY DUE TO THICKER SKY COVER.

&&

.LONG TERM /FRIDAY NIGHT THROUGH MONDAY/...
WILL CONTINUE TO INDICATE A STRONG COLD FRONT CROSSING THE EAST
COAST LATE FRIDAY INTO EARLY SATURDAY. TIMING DIFFERENCES BETWEEN
MODEL SOLUTIONS ADD SOME UNCERTAINTY...AND PREFER TO REMAIN
RATHER CONSERVATIVE WITH POPS IN THE 20 TO 30 PERCENT RANGE FRIDAY
NIGHT. HAVE THEN INDICATED SHOWER/THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY DIMINISHING
FROM WEST TO EAST BEHIND THE DEPARTING FRONT SATURDAY...WITH POPS
BELOW 15 PERCENT BY SATURDAY NIGHT. SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE AND
UPPER LEVEL RIDGING WILL BUILD INTO THE AREA EARLY NEXT WEEK...AND
HAVE MAINTAINED DRY WEATHER ACCORDINGLY. LATEST MODEL TRENDS
SUGGEST THAT ANY COOLING TREND BEHIND THE COLD FRONT SATURDAY WILL
BE SUBTLE AT BEST...SO WILL MAINTAIN HIGH TEMPERATURES IN THE
UPPER 80S TO LOWER 90S THROUGH THE EXTENDED PERIOD.

&&

.AVIATION /19Z TUESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/...
MVFR CONDITIONS EXPECTED OVER KSAV AS CONVECTION AND CLOUDS
CONTINUE TO MOVE ACROSS THE AREA. WIND GUSTS UP TO 30 KTS POSSIBLE
WITH STRONGER SHOWERS. PRECIP CHANCES TAPERING OFF AFTER 03Z AND
IMPROVING CIGS BACK TO VFR LATE TONIGHT.

FURTHER NORTH FOR KCHS...PRECIP CHANCES WILL INCREASE THROUGH THE
AFTERNOON...WITH THE BEST CHANCES BY THIS EVENING. EXPECT MVRF
CIGS TO DEVELOP...ESPECIALLY WITHIN SHOWERS. PRECIP CHANCES
TAPERING OFF AFTER MIDNIGHT...BUT MVFR CIGS LIKELY TO REMAIN
THROUGH SUNRISE TOMORROW. VFR CONDITIONS AFTER 12Z TOMORROW.

EXTENDED AVIATION OUTLOOK...SUB-VFR CONDITIONS ARE POSSIBLE
12-15Z WEDNESDAY AS TROPICAL DEPRESSION BERYL OR ITS REMNANTS MOVE
ACROSS THE REGION. CONDITIONS WILL IMPROVE LATER WEDNESDAY.

&&

.MARINE...
HAVE ADJUSTED WINDS UP A TAD TO MATCH LATEST TRENDS...ESPECIALLY
OVER THE GA AND SOUTHERN SC WATERS WHERE OBS HAVE SHOWN RECENT
GUSTS OF 25 TO 30 KTS. OTHERWISE...PREVIOUS FORECAST KEPT IN TACK.

TONIGHT...VERY CHALLENGING WIND FORECAST AS THE EXACT TRACK OF
BERYL WILL HAVE A SIGNIFICANT IMPACT ON HOW HIGH WINDS WILL GET.
CURRENT NHC/MODEL TRACK KEEPS THE CENTER OF THE DEPRESSION INLAND
FROM THE COAST AND KEEPING A GENERAL SOUTHERLY FLOW IN PLACE
ACROSS ALL WATERS BEFORE SHIFTING OFFSHORE LATE AS BERYL MOVES
OFFSHORE OF THE NORTHEAST SOUTH CAROLINA COAST. THIS TRACK WOULD
FAVOR THE HIGHEST WINDS OCCUR OVER THE GEORGIA OFFSHORE LEG WITH
SPEEDS 20-25 KT. ACROSS THE NEARSHORE WATERS...15-20 KT LOOKS
COMMON WITH SPEEDS DIMINISHING TO 10-15 KT LATE FROM EDISTO BEACH
SOUTH TO THE ALTAMAHA RIVER. SEAS WILL BUILD SLIGHTLY OVERNIGHT
WITH 6 FT SEAS REACHING THE CHARLESTON COUNTY COASTAL WATERS BY
SUNSET. WILL INITIALIZE A SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY FOR THIS ZONE AND
CONTINUE IT THROUGH THE OVERNIGHT HOURS CONCURRENT WITH THE OTHER
SMALL CRAFT ADVISORIES.

WEDNESDAY THROUGH SATURDAY...BERYL WILL STEADILY PROGRESS
NORTHEAST AWAY FROM THE MARINE ZONES ON WEDNESDAY...WITH IMPROVING
CONDITIONS INTO THE WEEKEND. ANY LINGERING ADVISORIES SHOULD COME
TO AN END NO LATER THAN WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON. SOUTHERLY FLOW COULD
INCREASE AHEAD OF A COLD FRONT LATE FRIDAY INTO SATURDAY...HOWEVER
MARINE CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED TO REMAIN BELOW ADVISORY CRITERIA
AT THIS POINT.

RIP CURRENTS...ONGOING SOUTHERLY WINDS COMBINED WITH LINGERING
WIND AND SWELL WAVE GENERATED BY BERYL WILL PRODUCE A MODERATE
RISK FOR RIP CURRENTS AT AREA BEACHES TODAY. THE RISK WILL BE
BORDERLINE HIGH RISK FOR THE GEORGIA BEACHES WERE HIGHER WINDS
WILL OCCUR GIVEN THEIR PROXIMITY TO BERYL. HOWEVER OPTED TO KEEP
THE RISK MODERATE FOR NOW PER COORDINATION WITH WFO JACKSONVILLE.
THE NEED FOR A HIGH RISK WILL BE REEVALUATED LATER TODAY.

&&

.HYDROLOGY...
A FLASH FLOOD WATCH IS IN EFFECT FOR ALL OF SOUTHEAST SOUTH
CAROLINA AND SOUTHEAST GEORGIA THROUGH EARLY WEDNESDAY.

LATEST TRENDS CONTINUE TO POINT TOWARD LESS COVERAGE OF HEAVY
PRECIP THAN PREVIOUSLY EXPECTED. DRIER AIR CONTINUES TO WRAP
AROUND TD BERYL FROM THE SW AND SEEMS TO BE LIMITING CONVECTIVE
COVERAGE AND INTENSITY. AS MENTIONED ABOVE...WILL MAKE A DECISION
FOR THE LATE AFTERNOON PACKAGE AS TO WHETHER OR NOT TO DROP
CURRENT FLASH FLOOD WATCH.
