AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE CHARLESTON SC
353 PM EDT SUN JUL 1 2012

...DANGEROUS HEAT WAVE CONTINUES...
...SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH FOR THE ENTIRE AREA UNTIL 10 PM THIS
EVENING...

.SYNOPSIS...
A STRONG UPPER RIDGE WILL PERSIST TODAY BEFORE WEAKENING AND
SHIFTING SOUTHWEST AWAY FROM THE AREA. AN INLAND SURFACE TROUGH
WILL STRENGTHEN AND SHIFT CLOSER TO THE COAST LATE NEXT WEEK INTO
THE WEEKEND...SUPPORTING MORE UNSETTLED WEATHER.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 PM THIS EVENING/...
THE RIDGING ALOFT IS STARTING TO WEAKEN...ALBEIT EVER SO SLOWLY.
STILL IN REMAINS ANCHORED ATOP THE FORECAST AREA...AND OUR SPECIAL
18Z SOUNDING AS WELL AS SATELLITE/RADAR IMAGES SHOW THAT IT IS
STILL IN PLACE AS OF LATE THIS AFTERNOON. BUT CONVECTION AND
ISOLATED SEVERE WEATHER HAS ALREADY BEEN ONGOING AS THE NE TO SW
LEE SIDE TROUGH IS FIRING WITH SCATTERED CONVECTION. LITTLE
MOVEMENT HAS BEEN OBSERVED SO FAR...BUT A SLOW MOVEMENT TOWARD THE
SE IS TRYING TO OCCUR AS IMPULSES ALOFT ROUND THE TOP OF THE
RIDGE.

18Z SOUNDING AT KCLX...AS WELL AS SPC MESO-ANALYSIS SHOWS THAT
THERE IS STILL A 3C CAP OVER THE AREA. BUT MID LEVEL LAPSE RATES
ARE NEAR -9C. THE TOTAL TOTAL INDEX IS 59. LIFTED INDEX IS
-16...ALTHOUGH SHOWALTER INDEX OF -6 MIGHT BE A BETTER VARIABLE TO
LOOK AT SINCE SO MUCH OF THE CAPE IS ELEVATED. EITHER WAY...IT IS
EXTREMELY UNSTABLE. SBCAPE IS ABOUT AS HIGH AS IT CAN GET IN THE
SE AT 6500-7000 J/KG...AND MOST OF THAT FAT CAPE IS ALOFT AS 0-3
KM CAPE IS ONLY 24 J/KG. MUCH OF THE CAPE IS ABOVE BOTH THE -10C
AND -20C LEVELS...WHICH ALONG WITH CAPE IN THE HAIL GROWTH OF
ALMOST 2800 J/KG FAVORS LARGE HAIL. STORM TOPS WILL BE EXTREMELY
HIGH GIVEN THE HIGH CAPE AND IMPRESSIVE UPDRAFT STRENGTH...AND WE
HAVE ALREADY SEEN TOPS OUTSIDE OUR CWFA NEAR 60K FEET...WITH CLOUD
TOPS AS COLD AS -70C. IN ADDITION...DCAPES ARE 1500-2000 J/KG AND
WINDEX IS OVER 65 KT. THIS POINTS TOWARD THE POTENTIAL FOR
DAMAGING WINDS.

HOWEVER...WITH THE CAPPED AIR MASS IN PLACE LOCALLY...IT/S GOING
TO TAKE UNTIL MORE CONSOLIDATION OCCURS UPSTREAM AND AN MCS FORMS.
THEN WE LOOK TO SEE SOME PROPAGATION MORE TO THE SE INTO THE
AREA. WE HAVE HELD ONTO NIL POPS THROUGH 5-6 PM...THEN SHOWING
CHANCE POPS ARRIVING FROM THE NW BY 7-8 PM. HIGHEST COVERAGE WILL
BE 30-40 PERCENT NORTH OF I-16 IN SE GA...AND 20 PERCENT
ELSEWHERE. IF THIS SCENARIO PANS OUT...BY THE TIME CONVECTION GETS
THIS FAR SE...THE ABOVE MENTIONED CONVECTIVE PARAMETERS WILL BE
AT LOWER VALUES...YIELDING CONDITIONS MORE TYPICAL FOR THE SE AT
THIS TIME OF YEAR. EVEN SO...THESE CONDITIONS STILL SUPPORT THE
RISK OF ISOLATED DAMAGING WINDS AND LARGE HAIL...WHICH HAVE BEEN
ADDED TO THE FORECAST. IN ADDITION...FREQUENT LIGHTNING WILL ALSO
OCCUR.

MEANWHILE...THE EXCESSIVE HEAT WARNING REMAINS IN EFFECT FOR ALL
LOCATIONS THROUGH 9 PM...ALTHOUGH IF CONVECTION DOES MOVE IN WE
WOULD BE ABLE TO CANCEL AT AN EARLIER TIME. THIS WARNING HAS BEEN
VERIFYING NICELY SO FAR TODAY...WITH DEW POINTS AS HIGH AS THE
UPPER 70S AND LOWER 80S JUST ABOUT AREA WIDE. WHEN COMBINED WITH
NEAR OR TRIPLE DIGIT TEMPS IN MANY LOCALES...WE HAVE SEEN HEAT
INDICES AS HIGH AS 117-122 DEGREES.

TEMPS TONIGHT WILL AGAIN BE UNUSUALLY WARM AND STEAMY...UNLESS
CONSIDERABLE RAIN-COOLER AIR OCCURS. THEN WE CAN ANTICIPATE
FREQUENT UPDATES TO OUR TEMPERATURE CURVE. LOWEST READINGS AT
THIS TIME WILL GENERALLY BE 75-80.

OUTSIDE CHANCE OF SOME LATE NIGHT FOG IN LOCATIONS THAT GET
RAINFALL.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 PM THIS EVENING THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
MONDAY...AS THE UPPER LEVEL RIDGE WEAKENS ITS GRIP ON THE AREA...THE
CAP WILL WEAKEN AND THIS COMBINED WITH UPPER LEVEL DISTURBANCES
TRAVERSING AROUND THE NORTHEAST SIDE OF THE UPPER LEVEL RIDGE WILL
GIVE US A THREAT FOR UNSETTLED WEATHER. 12Z MODELS AND ESPECIALLY
THE GFS ONCE AGAIN DEVELOP EXTREME INSTABILITY MONDAY AFTERNOON WITH
CAPE VALUES POSSIBLY IN EXCESS OF 6000 J/KG. THE STORM PREDICTION
CENTER HAS MAINTAINED A SLIGHT RISK ZONE FOR SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS
MONDAY AND MONDAY NIGHT. THE KEY TO THE AMOUNT OF INSTABILITY ON
MONDAY AS WELL AS THREAT FOR PRECIPITATION AND THE AFTERNOON HEAT
INDICES IS WHAT HAPPENS WITH CONVECTION THIS EVENING. IF A STRONG
COMPLEX OF THUNDERSTORMS WORKS OVER THE ENTIRE CWA THIS EVENING THEN
THE HEAT INDEX...AFTERNOON INSTABILITY AND THREAT FOR THUNDERSTORMS
FOR MONDAY AND LIKELY MONDAY EVENING WILL BE NEGATIVELY IMPACTED.
FOR NOW WILL BASICALLY MAINTAIN THE PREVIOUS FORECAST THAT INCLUDES
HIGHS FROM 95 TO 100 INLAND...AFTERNOON HEAT INDICES FROM 110 TO
114 AWAY FROM THE COAST AND A CHANCE FOR LATE DAY THUNDERSTORMS IN
THE NORTHWEST AND A SLIGHT CHANCE ELSEWHERE. WILL HOLD OFF ON THE
ISSUANCE OF A HEAT ADVISORY FOR MONDAY AFTERNOON AND EVENING UNTIL
AT LEAST THE EXCESSIVE HEAT WARNING THAT IS CURRENTLY IN EFFECT IS
CANCELLED OR ALLOWED TO EXPIRE.

MONDAY NIGHT...AFTER THE THREAT FOR EVENING THUNDERSTORMS...THE
THREAT FOR PRECIPITATION SHOULD DIMINISH. LOWS WILL MAINLY BE IN THE
MID TO UPPER 70S.

TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY...THE GENERAL SYNOPTIC PATTERN WILL CONTINUE
INTO MID WEEK...WITH THE INLAND SURFACE TROUGH STRENGTHENING AND
SHORTWAVE ENERGY SHIFTING SOUTHEAST INTO THE FORECAST AREA. AT
THIS TIME...MODELS ARE SUGGESTING THAT SUBSEQUENT SHORTWAVES WILL
BE COMPARATIVELY WEAKER THAN WHAT IS SEEN FOR MONDAY NIGHT. HAVE
THUS CAPPED SHOWER/THUNDERSTORM POTENTIAL IN THE SLIGHT CHANCE
RANGE FOR BOTH DIURNAL CONVECTION...AS WELL AS ANY NOCTURNAL
CONVECTION RESULTING FROM UPPER LEVEL SUPPORT AND/OR DOWNSTREAM
PROGRESSION OF EARLIER ORGANIZED SYSTEMS. HEIGHTS ALOFT WILL
CONTINUE TO FALL...AS A BROAD UPPER TROUGH BUILDS DOWN THE EAST
COAST. HIGH TEMPERATURES WILL STILL BE ABOVE SEASONAL
NORMALS...REACHING THE MID TO UPPER 90S AWAY FROM THE COAST ON
TUESDAY AND THE LOW TO MID 90S BY WEDNESDAY. HEAT INDICES WILL
RANGE FROM 105 TO 110 DEGREES INLAND BOTH AFTERNOONS.

&&

.LONG TERM /WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY/...
A TROUGH ALOFT WILL PERSIST ALONG THE EAST COAST INTO THE
WEEKEND...WHILE DEEP MOISTURE REMAINS EMBEDDED WITHIN A SURFACE
TROUGH SLIPPING TOWARD THE COASTLINE THROUGH THE PERIOD. HIGH
TEMPERATURES WILL GENERALLY RANGE FROM THE LOW TO MID 90S EACH
AFTERNOON...STILL A FEW DEGREES WARMER THAN SEASONAL NORMALS. DEEP
MOISTURE AND CONVERGENCE WITHIN THE NEARBY SURFACE
TROUGH...COMBINED WITH SHORTWAVE ENERGY EMBEDDED WITHIN THE TROUGH
ALOFT...WILL SUPPORT IMPROVED CONVECTIVE POTENTIAL EACH DAY.
DECENT MODEL CONSENSUS PROVIDES ENOUGH CONFIDENCE TO INCREASE POPS
INTO THE 30 PERCENT RANGE...MAINLY DURING THE CLIMATOLOGICALLY
FAVORED AFTERNOON/EARLY EVENING HOURS LATE WEEK THROUGH THE
WEEKEND.

&&

.AVIATION /19Z SUNDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/...
THE 18Z TAFS FOR KCHS AND KSAV SHOW PREVAILING VFR CONDITIONS.
HOWEVER...THERE DOES REMAIN TWO MAIN CONCERNS THAT COULD ALTER
THAT FORECAST. DEVELOPING CONVECTION IN VA/NA WILL ATTEMPT TO
REACH ESPECIALLY KCHS EARLY TONIGHT...AND IF IT DOES SO THEN
PERIODIC MVFR OR LOWER CONDITIONS WITH GUSTY WINDS AND EVEN HAIL
COULD OCCUR. THE SECOND IS THE RISK OF MARGINAL MVFR CONDITIONS AT
BOTH SITES IN MIST AND/OR HAZE LATE TONIGHT/EARLY MONDAY MORNING.
THE PROBABILITIES OF EITHER OF THESE OCCURRENCES HOWEVER IS TOO
LOW TO INCLUDE WITH THE LATEST SET OF TAFS.

EXTENDED AVIATION OUTLOOK...THERE ARE NO CONCERNS WITH A GREATER
THAN 30 PERCENT CONFIDENCE LEVEL.

&&

.MARINE...
THE RIM OF THE ATLANTIC RIDGE ACROSS THE WATERS THIS EVENING WILL
GIVE WAY TO MORE CYCLONIC CIRCULATION TONIGHT AS CONVECTION
ASSOCIATED WITH THE INLAND TROUGH ATTEMPTS TO MOVE INTO THE AREA.
SOME OF THESE STORMS IF THEY DO GET THIS FAR SE WILL BE LOCALLY
STRONG OR SEVERE WITH DAMAGING WINDS AND LARGE HAIL TO OCCUR.
OUTSIDE OF CONVECTION...SOUTHERLY WINDS WILL BE NEAR 15 KT
EARLY...THEN DROP OFF ABOUT 5 KT LATE AS THEY VEER A LITTLE MORE
TOWARD THE SW. SEAS WILL HOLD AROUND 2-3 FT...ALTHOUGH SOME
OCCASIONAL 4 FOOTERS WILL OCCUR OUT NEAR 20 NM OR FURTHER OFF THE
COAST.

MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY...THE MARINE AREA WILL BE LOCATED BETWEEN
ATLANTIC HIGH PRESSURE TO THE EAST AND AN INLAND TROUGH TO THE
WEST/NORTHWEST THROUGH THE PERIOD. SOUTH TO SOUTHWEST WINDS AT OR
BELOW 15 KT WILL PREVAIL INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK...WITH SEAS BETWEEN 1
TO 3 FT ACROSS THE NEARSHORE WATERS AND 3 TO 4 FT ACROSS THE OUTER
MARINE ZONES.

THE INLAND SURFACE TROUGH IS EXPECTED TO STRENGTHEN BY MID
WEEK...TIGHTENING THE PRESSURE GRADIENT WITH THE ATLANTIC SURFACE
HIGH. SOUTH/SOUTHWEST FLOW COULD SURGE UP TO 15 TO 20 KT AT TIMES
BY WEDNESDAY AND THURSDAY...HOWEVER WINDS AND SEAS ARE EXPECTED TO
REMAIN BELOW SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY CRITERIA.

&&

.TIDES/COASTAL FLOODING...
RECENT TIDAL DEPARTURES AT CHARLESTON SUGGEST THAT WE/LL COME UP
JUST SHORT OF OUR SHALLOW COASTAL FLOODING CRITERIA WITH THE
EVENING HIGH TIDE. THUS WE HAVE OPTED NOT TO ISSUE ANY COASTAL
FLOOD ADVISORY.

THE UPCOMING FULL MOON COMBINED WITH THE PERIGEAN SPRING TIDES
WILL RESULT IN THE THREAT FOR SHALLOW COASTAL FLOODING NEAR THE
TIMES OF HIGH TIDE DURING THE EVENING HOURS...POSSIBLY BEGINNING
LATE MONDAY AND LIKELY EXTENDING THROUGH MUCH OF THE UPCOMING
WEEK. AT THIS TIME IS APPEARS THAT THE GREATEST THREAT FOR SHALLOW
COASTAL FLOODING IS IN THE CHARLESTON AND COASTAL COLLETON AREAS.
