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

...THE 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 /THROUGH MONDAY/...
UPSTREAM CONVECTION HAS CONSOLIDATED AS COLD POOL HAS DEVELOPED
ALOFT AND MUCH OF IT IS BEGINNING TO MAKE HEADWAY TOWARD THE
SOUTH AND SE. THERE IS NOTHING TO STOP IT NOW...ALTHOUGH SOME
WEAKENING COULD OCCUR NOW THAT WE ENTER THE NOCTURNAL REGION. IN
FACT THE MCS MAINTENANCE PROBABILITIES ARE 60-70 PERCENT.

HOWEVER...ACCORDING TO THE SPC MESO-ANALYSIS PAGE SBCAPES ARE
STILL AS HIGH AS 5000-5500 J/KG...WITH DCAPES NEAR 1800 J/KG.
LIFTED INDICES ARE AS LOW AS -14C WITH MID LEVEL LAPSE RATES STILL
NEAR -9C/KM. AN IMPRESSIVE THERMODYNAMIC ENVIRONMENT TO SAY THE
LEAST. GIVEN THAT SIGNIFICANT HAIL INDEX IS NEAR 2 AND MUCH OF OUR
FAT CAPE IS ALOFT WITH LIFTED 0-3 KM CAPE...LARGE HAIL REMAINS
LIKELY GIVEN THE INTENSE UPDRAFT STRENGTH. PLUS WITH THE
AFOREMENTIONED DCAPES...STRONG DOWN BURSTS OF WIND WILL ALSO OCCUR
IN SOME OF THE STORMS. THUS WE SEE NO REASON TO DEVIATE FROM THE
ONGOING SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH WHICH REMAINS IN EFFECT FOR ALL
AREAS UNTIL 10 PM. IT REMAINS POSSIBLE THAT WE MAY EVEN NEED TO
EXTEND THE WATCH FOR SOME AREAS AFTER THAT TIME...PENDING LATEST
RADAR TRENDS AND CONVECTIVE PARAMETERS LATER THIS EVENING.

WE HAVE ADJUSTED OUR POP FORECAST TO SHOW INCREASING CHANCES OF
CONVECTION FROM NORTH AND NW TO SOUTH AND SE THROUGH THE FIRST
PART OF TONIGHT. HIGHEST COVERAGE WILL BE IN THE SCATTERED TO
NUMEROUS RANGE...WITH ACTIVITY IMPACTING AREAS FROM BERKELEY AND
CHARLESTON COUNTY TO JENKINS AND SCREVEN EARLY. THIS ACTIVITY WILL
TAKE UNTIL 10-11 PM UNTIL IT REACHES PLACES FROM BEAUFORT TO
CHATHAM...EVANS AND TATTNALL. THE STORMS WILL LIKELY BE WEAKENING
SOME BY THE TIME THEY REACH THE REST OF SE GA BY MIDNIGHT OR SO.

WE HAVE CANCEL THE EXCESSIVE HEAT WARNING SINCE MOST PLACES HAVE
SEEN THEIR HEAT INDEX DROP TO NEAR 110 DEGREES OF LOWER. PLUS WITH
THE INCREASE IN CLOUDINESS AND THE UPCOMING CONVECTION THEY WILL
CONTINUE TO DROP. ONCE THE PRECIPITATION MOVES INTO THE CWFA WE
WILL EXPERIENCE CONSIDERABLE EVAPORATIONAL COOLING...WITH LARGE
TEMP DROPS IN A SHORT PERIOD OF TIME. WE HAVE MADE SOME
ADJUSTMENTS TO ACCOUNT FOR THE RAIN-COOLER AIR MASS...SHOWING MOST
LOWS DOWN INTO THE LOWER AND MIDDLE 70S. HOWEVER...PLACES THAT
ESCAPE THE RAIN WILL STILL HOLD IN THE UPPER 70S OR EVEN NEAR 80.
EITHER WAY...WHEN COMBINED WITH HIGH RELATIVE HUMIDITY...AN
UNCOMFORTABLY STICKY NIGHT FOR THE AREA.

OUTSIDE CHANCE OF SOME LATE NIGHT FOG IN LOCATIONS THAT GET
RAINFALL. PROBABILITIES ARE STILL TOO LOW TO REFRAIN FROM
INCLUDING IN THE GRIDS HOWEVER.

&&

.SHORT TERM /MONDAY NIGHT 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. WE HAVE ISSUED A HEAT
ADVISORY FOR THE ENTIRE AREA VALID FROM 11 AM TO 8 PM MONDAY.

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 /00Z MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/...
.AVIATION /00Z MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/...
CONVECTION WILL CONTINUE TO APPROACH THE TERMINALS THIS
EVENING...IMPACTING KCHS FROM 00-02Z AND AT KSAV FROM 02-04Z. TSTMS
WILL PRODUCE GUSTY WINDS AND HEAVY RAINS...REASULTING IN PERIODIC
MVFR CONDITIONS DURING THIS TIME.

FOR LATE TONIGHT IF CLOUD COVER DIMINISHES ENOGUH THERE IS A CONCERN
FOR MVFR CONDITIONS TO RETURN FROM ABOUT 10-13Z IF ANY LIGHT FOG IS
ABLE TO FORM.

FOR THE BALANCE OF MONDAY WE ARE SHOWING VFR CONDITIONS...ALTHOUGH
THE RISK REMAISN FOR SOME LATE DAY CONVECTION TO OCCUR. PROSPECTS
ARE TOO MINIMAL TO INCLUDE AT THIS TIME WITH THE 00Z 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 WILL BE LOCALLY STRONG OR SEVERE WITH
DAMAGING WINDS AND LARGE HAIL TO OCCUR. IF YOU/RE STILL OUT ON THE
WATERS...IT IS HIGHLY RECOMMENDED THAT YOU MAKE IT BACK TO A SAFE
PORT BEFORE STORMS START MOVING IN AFTER 8 OR 9 PM. THE CONVECTION
WILL DISRUPT THE GRADIENT WIND FIELDS...BUT OUTSIDE OF THE
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...
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.
