AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE CHARLESTON SC
146 AM EDT WED AUG 29 2012

.SYNOPSIS...
TROPICAL CYCLONE ISAAC WILL REMAIN WELL WEST OF THE REGION THROUGH
WEDNESDAY AS IT BEGINS TO MOVE INLAND ALONG THE GULF COAST. DEEP
TROPICAL MOISTURE WILL REMAIN IN PLACE ACROSS THE AREA THROUGH
THURSDAY BEFORE HIGH PRESSURE BEGINS TO BUILD IN FROM THE NORTH ON
FRIDAY AND INTO THE WEEKEND.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM THIS MORNING/...
LOWERED RAIN CHANCES WITH THE LATEST UPDATE AS SHOWERS HAVE PUSHED
OFFSHORE...ALTHOUGH ADDITIONAL SHOWERS COULD RE-DEVELOP BY
DAYBREAK ACROSS THE CHARLESTON METRO AND POSSIBLY DOWN THE SC
COAST. LOWS IN THE LOWER TO MID 70S MOST LOCALES AWAY FROM THE
MILDER COASTAL AREAS.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 AM THIS MORNING THROUGH FRIDAY/...
WEDNESDAY AND WEDNESDAY NIGHT...AS TROPICAL CYCLONE ISAAC BEGINS TO
MOVE INLAND ALONG THE LOUISIANA COASTLINE THE FORECAST AREA WILL
REMAIN WITHIN A VERY DEEP TROPICAL AIRMASS. A WEST/EAST ORIENTED
FRONT DRAPED ACROSS AREAS TO THE NORTH WILL SLOWLY SINK SOUTHWARD
THROUGH THE DAY...SETTING UP A NICE LOW LEVEL CONVERGENCE ZONE ALONG
THE BOUNDARY WITH AN AREA OF HIGH PRESSURE BUILDING IN FROM THE
NORTH. THOUGH SOME DRIER AIR MAY TRY TO MOVE IN FROM THE
SOUTHWEST...MODELS DO SHOW PWATS REMAINING IN THE 2.25 INCH RANGE
THROUGH THE DAY. THE EXPECTATION IS FOR PRECIP TO GET STARTED JUST
NORTH OF THE AREA CLOSER TO THE FRONT...AND THEN PUSH SOUTHWARD INTO
THE EVENING. POPS START OFF THE DAY WITH A NORTH/SOUTH GRADIENT AND
THEN FILL IN TO LIKELY POPS EVERYWHERE BY THE AFTERNOON/EVENING WITH
ISOLATED EMBEDDED THUNDERSTORMS. GIVEN THE DEEP TROPICAL
MOISTURE...EFFICIENT RAINFALL PRODUCTION IS EXPECTED AGAIN WHICH
WILL ALLOW FOR POCKETS OF LOCALLY HEAVY RAINFALL. WITH THE EXCESSIVE
RAINS THAT OCCURRED ON TUESDAY...ESPECIALLY IN AND AROUND LOCATIONS
FROM WEST ASHLEY TO MOUNT PLEASANT...IT WON/T TAKE MUCH TO CAUSE
MORE FLOODING PROBLEMS. WILL CONTINUE THE FLOOD WORDING IN THE HWO.
OVERNIGHT...THE CONVERGENCE ZONE ALONG THE FRONT WILL LAY ACROSS THE
AREA AND LIKELY POPS CONTINUE AT LEAST THROUGH THE FIRST PART OF THE
EVENING. AS THE NIGHT PROGRESSES...MODELS SHOW THE FOCUS FOR PRECIP
SHIFTING OFFSHORE.

THURSDAY THROUGH FRIDAY...AS ISAAC PUSHES FURTHER INLAND NEAR THE
ARKLATEX...AN UPPER ANTICYCLONE NORTH OF IT WILL BEGIN TO SHIFT
EASTWARD ACROSS THE OHIO VALLEY AND EVENTUALLY TOWARD EASTERN NC/VA.
AS THIS OCCURS...THE SURFACE HIGH WILL SETTLE IN ACROSS THE MID
ATLANTIC ON THURSDAY AND EVENTUALLY ACROSS THE AREA ON FRIDAY. THE
DEEP TROPICAL MOISTURE WILL HANG ON THROUGH THURSDAY...WITH PWATS
DROPPING OFF SIGNIFICANTLY THROUGH THE DAY ON FRIDAY. ANOTHER ROUND
OF LIKELY POPS IS IN PLACE THURSDAY...WITH A DRYING TREND THURSDAY
NIGHT INTO FRIDAY. MODELS SHOW SOME SMALL DISCREPANCIES AS TO HOW
FAR SOUTHWEST THE DRY AIR PUNCHES IN ON FRIDAY...BUT IT IS POSSIBLE
THAT FRIDAY COULD END UP BEING TOTALLY DRY. ANOTHER DAY WITH
SUPPRESSED TEMPS ON THURSDAY WITH CLOUDS AND RAIN AROUND...AND THEN
A WARMER DAY FRIDAY AS SUNSHINE RETURNS FROM NORTHEAST TO SOUTHWEST.

&&

.LONG TERM /FRIDAY NIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY/...
FRIDAY NIGHT...KEPT SLIGHT CHANCE POPS WITH TEMPS NEAR NORMAL.
BY SATURDAY...THE UPPER RIDGE BEGINS TO WEAKEN AND SHIFT SOUTHEAST
OF THE AREA AS A BROAD UPPER TROUGH...WHICH PICKS UP THE REMNANT
MOISTURE OF ISAAC...FORM OVER THE OH RIVER VALLEY. WITH THE FALLING
UPPER HEIGHTS AND SOME INCREASE IN DEEP LAYER MOISTURE...HAVE KEPT
LOW END CHANCE POPS. BY SUNDAY THROUGH TUESDAY...FORECAST CONFIDENCE
BEGINS TO DROP OFF. FOR NOW...HAVE GONE WITH A SOLUTION THAT SHOWS A
WEAKENING UPPER TROUGH OVER THE REGION...WITH INCREASING DEEP LAYER
MOISTURE. HAVE KEPT LOW END CHANCE POPS...WHICH IS CLOSE TO CLIMO.
TEMPS AROUND CLIMO THROUGH THE PERIOD.

&&

.AVIATION /06Z WEDNESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/...
DEEP MOISTURE WILL CONTINUE OVER THE AREA LEADING TO AN ENHANCED
RISK FOR SHOWERS AND A FEW THUNDERSTORMS...MAINLY BEGINNING AROUND
12Z AND LASTING THROUGH ABOUT 00Z. A FEW STRONGER STORMS COULD
BRING GUSTY WINDS TO THE TERMS THIS AFTERNOON. IN
ADDITION...EXPECT MVFR CIGS TOWARD DAYBREAK WITH IFR A GOOD BET AS
WELL...WHICH SHOULD BREAK UP BY MID-MORNING JUST AS RAIN CHANCES
ARE INCREASING.

EXTENDED AVIATION OUTLOOK...UNSETTLED CONDITIONS WITH PERIODIC
RESTRICTIONS POSSIBLE THROUGH THURSDAY. IMPROVING CONDITIONS
EXPECTED FROM FRIDAY ONWARD.

&&

.MARINE...
THE PRESSURE GRADIENT BETWEEN ATLANTIC HIGH PRESSURE AND TROPICAL
CYCLONE ISAAC OVER THE NORTHERN GULF OF MEXICO WILL CONTINUE TO
RELAX OVER THE COASTAL WATERS TONIGHT. EXPECT WINDS TO PEAK AROUND
15 KNOTS WITH SOME GUSTS TO 20 KNOTS. SEAS WILL BE DOMINATED BY
A SOUTHEAST SWELL WHICH WILL CONTRIBUTE TO SEAS BETWEEN 4-5 FEET
BEYOND 20 NM AND UP TO 4 FT ACROSS THE NEARSHORE WATERS.

WEDNESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY...A SOUTH TO SOUTHWEST FLOW REGIME WILL
PERSIST THROUGH WEDNESDAY AHEAD OF A SOUTHWARD MOVING FRONT AND HIGH
PRESSURE TO THE NORTH. WINDS WILL TURN MORE NORTHEAST AND EASTERLY
BY FRIDAY AS THE CENTER OF THE HIGH SETTLES IN ACROSS NORTH CAROLINA
AND VIRGINIA. AS THE HIGH DISSIPATES OVER THE WEEKEND A MORE TYPICAL
SOUTH TO SOUTHWEST FLOW WILL RETURN. OVERALL...WINDS WILL BE 15
KNOTS OR LESS THROUGH THE WEEKEND. SEAS WILL BE ON A DOWNWARD TREND
WITH 2-4 FEET WITHIN 20 NM AND 3-5 FEET BEYOND ON WEDNESDAY.
THEREAFTER...SEAS WILL BE 2-3 FEET THROUGH THE WEEKEND.

RIP CURRENTS...DUE TO THE AFFECTS OF THE APPROACHING FULL
MOON...LINGERING SWELL ENERGY...AND ONSHORE FLOW...A MODERATE RISK
OF RIP CURRENTS WILL CONTINUE AT ALL BEACHES THROUGH WEDNESDAY.

&&

.TIDES/COASTAL FLOODING...
MODELS CONTINUE TO INDICATE POSITIVE TIDAL ANOMALIES OF ABOUT ONE
HALF FOOT THROUGH MID-LATE WEEK AND THIS COULD LEAD TO SHALLOW
SALTWATER FLOODING DURING THE TIME OF THE EARLY EVENING HIGH
TIDES. THE SITUATION COULD BECOME WORSE IF HEAVY RAINFALL OCCURS
DURING THE HIGH TIDE...ESPECIALLY IN THE NORMALLY FLOOD-PRONE
AREAS SUCH AS DOWNTOWN CHARLESTON AND SAVANNAH.
