AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE CHARLESTON SC
128 PM EDT SUN JUL 29 2012

.SYNOPSIS...
ATLANTIC HIGH PRESSURE WILL PREVAIL THROUGH THE WEEK WHILE A
TROUGH OF LOW PRESSURE LINGERS INLAND.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 PM THIS EVENING/...

EARLY AFTERNOON UPDATE...
BROAD CYCLONIC FLOW EVIDENT IN VISIBLE SATELLITE ACROSS GA/SC
EARLY THIS AFTERNOON. TEMPS HAVE WARMED INTO THE LOWER 90S NEAR
THE COAST WITH MID/UPPER 90S FARTHER INLAND WHILE DEWPOINTS REMAIN
IN THE MID/UPPER 70S. TWEAKED DEWPOINTS UPWARD A DEGREE OR TWO FOR
THE REMAINDER OF THE AFTERNOON AND ALSO BUMPED UP HIGH TEMPS A
DEGREE ACROSS INTERIOR SOUTHEAST GA. SCATTERED SHOWERS AND
ISOLATED TSTMS HAVE BEGUN TO DEVELOP ACROSS CENTRAL AND EASTERN GA
IN A REGION OF 8-8.5C LOW-LEVEL LAPSE RATES. COVERAGE AND
INTENSITY EXPECTED TO INCREASE THROUGH THE REMAINDER OF THE
AFTERNOON. LATEST MESOANALYSIS SHOWS 2000-3000 J/KG CAPE AND
800-1200 J/KG DCAPE OVER THE FORECAST AREA...WHICH SHOULD ALLOW
FOR INTENSIFICATION OF STORM UPDRAFTS AND AN INCREASE IN SEVERE
THUNDERSTORM POTENTIAL.

LATE MORNING DISCUSSION...
TODAY LOOKS LIKE ANOTHER POTENTIALLY ACTIVE DAY WITH SHOWERS AND
TSTMS BECOMING MORE NUMEROUS LATE THIS AFTERNOON INTO THE EVENING.
A WEAK SHORTWAVE FEATURE IS EVIDENT ON WATER VAPOR IMAGERY ACROSS
CENTRAL GA...ALSO COINCIDENT WITH A PATCH OF ALTOSTRATUS NEAR
AUGUSTA. A MORE POTENT SHORTWAVE OVER EASTERN TENNESSEE IS PROGGED
TO DROP SOUTHEAST TOWARD THE FORECAST AREA EARLY THIS EVENING. THE
AIRMASS REMAINS QUITE MOIST AND LOW-LEVELS WILL WARM QUICKLY
UNDER MOSTLY SUNNY SKIES. WE EXPECT HIGH TEMPS IN THE MIDDLE 90S
TODAY. A MESOSCALE BOUNDARY OF SOME SORT IS NOW SHOWING UP ON
VISIBLE SATELLITE VIA A LINE OF CUMULUS STRETCHING ALL THE WAY
FROM FOLLY BEACH SC THROUGH SAVANNAH GA TOWARD THE NORTHERN GULF
OF MEXICO. THE SEABREEZE WILL AGAIN COME INTO PLAY...PERHAPS AN
HOUR OR TWO EARLIER THAN YESTERDAY GIVEN THE WEAKER WESTERLY FLOW.

ALMOST ALL OF THE HIGH RESOLUTION MESOSCALE MODELS ARE INDICATING
GOOD COVERAGE OF SHOWERS AND STORMS LATE THIS AFTERNOON THROUGH
EARLY EVENING. WITH TWO SHORTWAVES POTENTIALLY AT PLAY AND A VERY
MOIST LOW-LEVEL AIRMASS ALONG WITH NUMEROUS MESOSCALE BOUNDARIES
WE ARE CONFIDENT IN ENOUGH PRECIP COVERAGE TO FORECAST LIKELY POPS
FOR A FEW HOURS STRADDLING 6 PM.

SEVERE TSTMS ARE AGAIN POSSIBLE...PRIMARY WITH DAMAGING WIND GUSTS
AND FREQUENT LIGHTNING. MORNING SOUNDINGS SHOW MORE DRY AIR TODAY
THAN YESTERDAY...ALTHOUGH THE MEAN FLOW IS ABOUT 15 KT TODAY VS 25
KT YESTERDAY. INHERITED SEVERE WX MENTION IN THE HAZARDOUS WEATHER
OUTLOOK STILL LOOKS ADEQUATE.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 PM THIS EVENING THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
BETWEEN 6 PM AND MIDNIGHT...THERE CERTAINLY COULD BE SOME STRONG
STORMS DEVELOPING OVER INLAND ZONES AS THE MID LEVEL SHORT WAVE
ARRIVES FROM THE NW AND INTERACTS WITH AIR MASSES UNTAPPED FROM
THE NEARER-COASTAL CONVECTION FROM MID AFTERNOON. THE SEA BREEZE
SHOULD ALSO BE WELL INLAND NEARING DUSK AND THIS COULD BOOST LOW
LEVEL MOISTURE FLUX WITH AN INFUSION OF POOLED SURFACE DEW POINTS.

THE SHORT WAVE WILL PROBABLY KEEP SCATTERED CONVECTION ROLLING...
AT LEAST IN POCKETS...INTO THE OVERNIGHT AS IT PASSES OVER THE
FORECAST AREA. WE MAINTAINED PERSISTENCE WITH 20-40 POPS THIS
PERIOD. LOWS IN THE 70S.

MONDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY...THE BROAD UPPER TROUGH WILL CONTINUE TO
MAINTAIN CONTROL ACROSS THE EASTERN UNITED STATES WHILE STRONG UPPER
LEVEL RIDGING DOMINATES THE MIDDLE OF THE COUNTRY. THIS SYNOPTIC
PATTERN WILL CONTINUE TO FAVOR SCATTERED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS
THROUGH THE PERIOD...MAINLY DURING THE MID AFTERNOON THROUGH EARLY
EVENING HOURS EACH DAY. CONVECTION WILL LIKELY INITIATE ALONG THE
SEA BREEZE ACROSS COASTAL COUNTIES WHILE ADDITIONAL DEVELOPMENT
LIGHTS UP INLAND CLOSER TO THE INLAND TROUGH. AS THE AFTERNOON
PROGRESSES... EXPECT CONVECTION COVERAGE TO INCREASE AS CELLS AND
BOUNDARIES COLLIDE. MODERATE INSTABILITY AND AMPLE MOISTURE WILL
RESIDE ACROSS THE AREA EACH AFTERNOON MAKING A FEW STRONG TO
SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS POSSIBLE.

EXPECT TEMPERATURES TO REFLECT SEASONAL NORMALS WITH HIGH
TEMPERATURES MAXING OUT IN THE LOW TO MID 90S EACH AFTERNOON AND LOW
TEMPERATURES GENERALLY IN THE LOWER TO MID 70S.

&&

.LONG TERM /WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY/...
THE UPPER TROUGH WILL CONTINUE TO COMMAND ATTENTION ACROSS THE
EASTERN UNITED STATES...AT LEAST THROUGH THE FIRST PORTION OF THE
EXTENDED FORECAST PERIOD. MODELS SHOW SEVERAL SHORTWAVES WHICH WILL
SWING IN THE VICINITY OF THE CWA. HOWEVER...DURING THE LATER PORTION
OF THE PERIOD...MODELS SHOW THE TROUGH BEGINNING TO WEAKEN A BIT ALLOWING
THE UPPER RIDGE ACROSS THE MIDDLE OF THE COUNTRY TO SLOWLY BUILD
EASTWARD. THIS WILL CREATE A MORE ZONAL FLOW ALOFT THROUGH THE
WEEKEND POSSIBLY LIMITING CONVECTION A BIT. STILL...EXPECT AT LEAST
ISOLATED CONVECTION EACH AFTERNOON/EARLY EVENING AS THE SEA BREEZE
PROPAGATES INLAND.

&&

.AVIATION /17Z SUNDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/...
PRIMARILY VFR AT BOTH TERMINALS WITH THE EXCEPTION OF THUNDERSTORMS.
TIMING IS DIFFICULT DUE TO MODEL INCONSISTENCY. SHOWERS HAVE ALREADY
FORMED INLAND AHEAD OF AN EASTWARD MOVING SHORTWAVE AND THE
SEABREEZE HAS BEGUN TO MOVE INLAND. DECIDED TO LEAN TOWARD AN
EARLIER SPARK TIME THAN YESTERDAY DUE TO THE LACK OF EARLY MORNING
CLOUD COVER. MODELS ARE HINTING AT LINGERING RAIN SHOWERS AFTER
SUNSET ALONG THE COAST SO KEPT VCTS IN UNTIL 00Z.

EXTENDED AVIATION OUTLOOK...PRIMARILY VFR EXCEPT FOR SHORT-LIVED
RESTRICTIONS POSSIBLE IN MAINLY AFTERNOON/EVENING SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS.

&&

.MARINE...
SIMILAR TO YESTERDAY IN SOME COASTAL AREAS...CONVECTION MAY POSE
A THREAT FOR DANGEROUS LIGHTNING AND LOCALIZED CONVECTIVE WIND
GUSTS. TSTMS FORECAST TO HAVE A SLOW GENERAL SEAWARD STEERING
REGIME AGAIN TODAY. OTHER THAN TSTM HAZARDS...LITTLE TO NO CHANGE
TO THE COASTAL WATERS FORECAST PHILOSOPHY THROUGH TONIGHT. SW FLOW
15 KT OR LESS AND SEAS 2-4 FT.

ATLANTIC HIGH PRESSURE WILL PREVAIL AS A TROUGH OF LOW PRESSURE
LINGERS INLAND THROUGH THE MIDDLE OF NEXT WEEK. THIS PATTERN WILL
MAINTAIN A SOUTH TO SOUTHWEST FLOW ACROSS THE WATERS. WINDS COULD
REACH UPWARDS OF 15-20 KT AT TIMES...ESPECIALLY WITH NOCTURNAL
SURGING. HOWEVER...WINDS AND SEAS ARE EXPECTED TO REMAIN BELOW SMALL
CRAFT ADVISORY CRITERIA THROUGH THE FORECAST PERIOD.

&&

.CHS WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
GA...NONE.
