AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE CHARLESTON SC
123 AM EDT SAT JUN 30 2012

.SYNOPSIS...
A STRONG UPPER RIDGE WILL PREVAIL INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK BEFORE
WEAKENING AND SHIFTING SOUTHWEST AWAY FROM THE AREA. HOT AND
HUMID WEATHER WILL PERSIST INTO THE FIRST PART OF NEXT WEEK.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM THIS MORNING/...
OVERNIGHT...TEMPS WILL ONLY DROP INTO 75-80F RANGE UNDER CLEAR
SKIES. IN A FEW LOCATIONS...TEMPERATURES WILL ONLY BOTTOM OUT IN
THE LOWER 80S. MAINTAINED THE ONGOING EXCESSIVE HEAT WATCH FOR
ALL COUNTIES SATURDAY.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 AM THIS MORNING THROUGH MONDAY/...
THE STRONG UPPER LEVEL RIDGE OF HIGH PRESSURE WILL REMAIN FIRMLY
ENTRENCHED OVER THE AREA ON SATURDAY AND SUNDAY AND THEN BEGIN TO
WEAKEN AND SHIFT/DEVELOP AWAY FROM THE AREA BY LATE MONDAY.

MAINLY SUNNY SKIES AND EXTREMELY WARM LOW LEVEL THICKNESS VALUES
SUPPORT A CONTINUATION OF HOT TEMPERATURES AND VERY HIGH HEAT
INDICES DURING THE AFTERNOON AND EVENING HOURS. IT APPEARS THAT THE
HIGHEST TEMPERATURES WITH THIS OUTBREAK OF HOT WEATHER WILL OCCUR ON
SATURDAY AFTERNOON AS THE WARMEST LOW LEVEL THICKNESS PROFILE IS
EXPECTED TO EXIST OVER THE AREA DURING THIS TIME FRAME. IT DOES
APPEAR THAT THE SEA BREEZE WILL MAKE SOME DECENT PROGRESS INLAND AND
THAT WILL LIKELY KEEP LOCATIONS WITHIN 20 MILES OF THE COAST FROM
HITTING 100 AND EVEN AREAS A LITTLE FURTHER INLAND THAT DO HIT
100...WILL LIKELY FALL BACK INTO THE MID 90S AFTER THE SEA BREEZE
PASSAGE...BUT DEWPOINTS BEHIND THE SEA BREEZE COULD CLIMB NEAR 80.
ACROSS SOME INLAND AREAS...THE HIGH TEMPERATURE COULD HIT 105
DEGREES. WILL MAINTAIN AN EXCESSIVE HEAT WATCH FOR ALL AREAS AS
MAXIMUM HEAT INDICES COULD EQUAL OR EXCEED 115 IN MANY AREAS.

BOTH SATURDAY NIGHT AND SUNDAY NIGHT WILL BE VERY WARM AND MUGGY.
LOW TEMPERATURES NEAR THE BEACH COULD BE NEAR 80...WITH MID TO UPPER
70S FARTHER INLAND.

HIGH TEMPERATURES EXPECTED TO BE A FEW DEGREES LOWER ON SUNDAY DUE
TO SLIGHTLY LOWER LOW LEVEL THICKNESS VALUES COMBINED WITH A QUICKER
INLAND MOVING SEA BREEZE. STILL EXPECT HIGHS AT OR ABOVE 100 ACROSS
MOST INLAND AREAS. HEAT INDICES LOOK ALSO TO BE A LITTLE
LOWER...BUT COULD STILL SEE SOME AREAS REACHING 115.

BOTH THE GFS AND THE NAM INDICATE THAT ENOUGH INSTABILITY AND LOW
LEVEL CONVERGENCE DEVELOPS LATE SUNDAY AFTERNOON AND EVENING OVER
THE MIDLANDS OR UPSTATE FOR SOME THUNDERSTORMS TO FORM. THE STORMS
THEN LOOK TO TRY TO DRIFT TOWARDS THE AREA OVERNIGHT. HOWEVER...THE
ECMWF DOES NOT  SUPPORT THIS IDEA. CONFIDENCE IS LOW BUT MAINTAINED
A SLIGHT CHANCE FOR THUNDERSTORMS SUNDAY AFTERNOON ALONG THE SEA
BREEZE AND THEN BECAUSE OF THE TRENDS OF THE NAM AND GFS...
INTRODUCED A SLIGHT CHANCE FOR THUNDERSTORMS SUNDAY EVENING FOR
NORTHWEST AREAS.

HIGH TEMPERATURES ON MONDAY WILL ONCE AGAIN BE A LITTLE LOWER WITH
MOST LOCATIONS AWAY FROM THE COAST IN THE MID TO UPPER 90S.
AFTERNOON AND EARLY EVENING HEAT INDICES WILL ONCE AGAIN BE A
CONCERN WITH MOST LOCALS IN THE 110 TO 115 DEGREE RANGE. MAINTAINED
A SLIGHT CHANCE FOR MAINLY AFTERNOON AND EVENING THUNDERSTORMS...
MAINLY ALONG THE SEAS BREEZE AS UPPER HEIGHTS FALL A BIT.

&&

.LONG TERM /MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY/...
THE UPPER RIDGE WILL STEADILY WEAKEN THROUGH THE WEEK...AS THE
UPPER TROUGH OVER EASTERN CANADA MAKES SOLID PROGRESS SOUTHWARD
ALONG THE COASTLINE. TEMPERATURES WILL BE ON A GRADUAL COOLING
TREND...YET STILL REMAIN ABOVE SEASONAL NORMALS. EXPECT HIGH
TEMPERATURES TO TREND FROM THE MID TO UPPER 90S ON TUESDAY TO THE
LOW TO MID 90S BY THURSDAY AND FRIDAY. INCREASED SHORTWAVE
ACTIVITY AS THE UPPER LEVELS TRANSITION TO MORE OF A TROUGH
PATTERN...AS WELL AS A LINGERING SURFACE TROUGH OR WEAK WAVE OF
LOW PRESSURE INLAND...WILL SUPPORT AT LEAST A SLIGHT CHANCE OF
SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS GENERALLY EACH AFTERNOON.

&&

.AVIATION /06Z SATURDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
VFR FOR THE NEXT 24 HOURS.

EXTENDED AVIATION OUTLOOK...THERE ARE NO CONCERNS WITH A GREATER
THAN 30 PERCENT CONFIDENCE AT THIS TIME.

&&

.MARINE...
OVERNIGHT...S/SW WINDS 10-15 KT...WITH A FEW GUSTS AS HIGH 20
KT...WILL BE ACCOMPANIED BY 2-4 FT SEAS...WITH HIGHEST SEAS
BEYOND 20 NM.

SATURDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY...THE MARINE AREA WILL BE LOCATED BETWEEN
ATLANTIC HIGH PRESSURE TO THE EAST AND AN INLAND TROUGH OVER
SOUTH CAROLINA AND GEORGIA. IN GENERAL...SOUTH TO SOUTHWEST WINDS
WILL REMAIN NEAR OR BELOW 15 KT...WITH SEAS BETWEEN 1 TO 3 FT
ACROSS THE NEARSHORE WATERS AND 3 TO 4 FT ACROSS THE OUTER GEORGIA
WATERS. CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED TO REMAIN WELL BELOW SMALL CRAFT
ADVISORY CRITERIA DURING THIS TIME PERIOD.
