AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE CHARLESTON SC
142 PM EDT MON JUL 30 2012

.SYNOPSIS...
ATLANTIC HIGH PRESSURE WILL PREVAIL THROUGH THE WEEK WHILE A TROUGH
OF LOW PRESSURE LINGERS INLAND. EXPECT A SERIES OF WEAK UPPER LEVEL
DISTURBANCES TO SWING ACROSS THE AREA THROUGH MID WEEK.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 PM THIS EVENING/...
A VERY COMPLEX YET INTERESTING PATTERN IS IN PLACE THIS MORNING.
WE HAVE STARTED THE DAY WITH MUCH MORE CLOUD COVER THAN THE LAST
FEW MORNINGS WHICH IS LIMITING OUR LATE MORNING INSOLATION AND
TEMPERATURE RISE. A POTENT SURFACE TROUGH AND ASSOCIATED
MESOSCALE LOW PRESSURE AREA ARE IN PLACE ACROSS THE FORECAST AREA
WITH THE LOW QUITE EVIDENT IN THE SWIRL ON VISIBLE SATELLITE OVER
EAST CENTRAL GA. A SHORTWAVE TROUGH IS CURRENTLY MOVING OFF THE
COAST AND HAS BEEN RESPONSIBLE FOR TRIGGERING SEVERAL INTENSE
CLUSTERS OF THUNDERSTORMS OVER OUR COASTAL WATERS. 12Z UPPER AIR
ANALYSIS SHOWS A COUPLED UPPER JET OVERHEAD WITH THE UPPER
DIVERGENCE CENTERED OVER OUR COASTAL WATERS. THESE FEATURES ARE
STILL TRIGGERING ADDITIONAL SHOWERS AND TSTMS OVER THE WATERS BUT
MUCH OF THIS ACTIVITY SHOULD REMAIN OFFSHORE AND DIMINISH IN
COVERAGE THROUGH EARLY THIS AFTERNOON. THE EXTENSIVE MID AND HIGH
CLOUDINESS THAT EXISTS ACROSS THE EASTERN PORTIONS OF THE AREA
SHOULD MOVE OFF TO THE EAST ALONG WITH THE CONVECTION.

HOWEVER...A JUICY LOW-LEVEL ENVIRONMENT WITH PW/S ON THE 12Z CHS
SOUNDING OF 2.15" AND EXTENSIVE MOISTURE CONVERGENCE ASSOCIATED
WITH THE INLAND SURFACE LOW ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR BROKEN STRATUS AND
STRATOCUMULUS IN MANY AREAS. PREDICTING THE EVOLUTION OF THIS LOW
CLOUDINESS IS TRICKY. ALTHOUGH THE ATMOSPHERE IS MOISTURE-LADEN AT
PRESENT...MODEL SOUNDINGS DO SHOW SUBSTANTIAL DRYING IN THE
900-600 MB LAYER THIS AFTERNOON. ADDITIONALLY...WEAK NVA BEHIND
THE DEPARTING SHORTWAVE COULD CAUSE ENOUGH SUBSIDENCE TO HELP
CLEAR OUT SOME OF THIS CLOUDINESS AND ALLOW FOR A BIT MORE
DIABATIC HEATING THAN WE ARE SEEING NOW. TEMPERATURES EXPECTED TO
CLIMB INTO THE LOWER 90S FAR INLAND BY MID-AFTERNOON WITH VALUES
IN THE UPPER 80S TO NEAR 90 FARTHER EAST.

ALTHOUGH THE UPPER JET DIVERGENCE IS PROGGED TO SHIFT EAST OF THE
AREA TODAY...WE ARE WATCHING A POTENT SHORTWAVE CURRENTLY DROPPING
SOUTHEAST OUT OF THE SOUTHERN APPALACHIANS. PVA ASSOCIATED WITH
THIS FEATURE IS PROGGED TO SHIFT INTO OUR AREA LATE THIS AFTERNOON
INTO THE EARLY EVENING. ASSUMING WE ERODE SOME OF THE LOW CLOUDS
AND SOME DRIER AIR ADVECTS INTO THE MID-LEVELS...THE ENVIRONMENT
COULD BE FAVORABLE FOR SOME MULTICELLULAR STORM CLUSTERS AND
ANOTHER ROUND OF SEVERE WEATHER. THE LIMITING FACTOR TODAY IS
DEFINITELY THE CLOUD COVER THAT WAS NOT AROUND YESTERDAY MORNING.
THUS LOW-LEVEL THETA-E WILL NOT NEARLY BE WHAT WE SAW YESTERDAY SO
THIS COULD TEND TO LIMIT THE WIDESPREAD NATURE OF THE SEVERE
WEATHER THREAT. THE SEVERE THREAT WILL LIKELY RAPIDLY EVOLVE
BASED ON MESOSCALE BOUNDARY INTERACTIONS SO WE WILL CONTINUE TO
MENTION IN THE HAZARDOUS WEATHER OUTLOOK.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 PM THIS EVENING THROUGH THURSDAY/...
THROUGH SUNSET...CONVECTIVE RAINS WILL CONTINUE OVER THE REGION
LIKELY BUILDING OVER INLAND GEORGIA ZONES LATE AS BOUNDARIES EDGE
FURTHER WSW. IT IS A LITTLE UNCLEAR HOW MUCH INSTABILITY WILL
BE LEFT LATER THIS EVENING AND OVERNIGHT BUT THE SURFACE WAVE
SHOULD SLIDE TO THE N OF CHARLESTON AND LOW LEVEL MOISTURE
CONVERGENCE IS EXPECTED TO EBB. WE MAINTAINED TRENDS OF DECREASING
POPS OVERNIGHT LEAVING SOME NEAR COASTAL POPS AFTER MIDNIGHT. LOWS
IN THE LOWER 70S AND MAYBE A LITTLE PATCHY LIGHT FOG LOCALLY...
ESPECIALLY INLAND.

TUESDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY...THE BROAD UPPER TROUGH WILL CONTINUE TO
MAINTAIN CONTROL ACROSS THE EASTERN UNITED STATES WHILE A STRONG
UPPER RIDGE REMAINS ACROSS THE MIDDLE OF THE COUNTRY. MODELS SHOWS
AN IMPRESSIVE UPPER DISTURBANCE TRACKING TOWARD THE CWA ON TUESDAY.
EXPECT THIS SYSTEM TO BRING AT LEAST THE POTENTIAL FOR SCATTERED
CONVECTION WHICH WILL LIKELY DEVELOP ACROSS INLAND AREAS FIRST
BEFORE PROPAGATING EASTWARD TOWARD COASTAL COUNTIES. MODEL
SOUNDINGS SHOW A BIT OF DRY AIR ALOFT EARLY TUESDAY...BUT PWATS WILL
QUICKLY CLIMB TO OVER 2 INCHES BY LATE AFTERNOON. A FEW
THUNDERSTORMS COULD BECOME STRONG OR SEVERE WITH DAMAGING WINDS AND
FREQUENT LIGHTNING THE PRIMARY THREATS. MODELS ARE IN FAIRLY GOOD
AGREEMENT THAT SOME SHORTWAVE ENERGY ALONG WITH PLENTY OF LINGERING
DEEP MOISTURE WILL RESIDE OVER THE AREA THROUGH LATE TUESDAY NIGHT
AND INTO EARLY WEDNESDAY MORNING. THIS COULD RESULT IN THE
CONTINUATION OF SOME LATE NIGHT CONVECTION. IF TIMING OF THE MODELS
IS CORRECT...THEN BY WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON THE BULK OF THE MOISTURE
ASSOCIATED WITH THIS SYSTEM SHOULD BE MAINLY OFFSHORE. TEMPERATURES
FOR BOTH DAYS WILL REFLECT SEASONAL NORMALS WITH HIGHS TOPPING OUT
IN THE LOW TO MID 90S AND LOWS DIPPING INTO THE LOW TO MID 70S.

THURSDAY LOOKS TO BE MORE OF A TRANSITION DAY AS THE UPPER TROUGH
BEGINS TO WEAKEN AND THE UPPER RIDGE OVER THE MIDDLE OF THE UNITED
STATES BEGINS TO BUILD EASTWARD. STILL...SOME ISOLATED TO SCATTERED
CONVECTION IS EXPECTED TO DEVELOP DURING THE TRADITIONAL
AFTERNOON/EARLY EVENING HOURS AS THE SEA BREEZE TRACKS INLAND.
THUS...HAVE MAINTAINED CHANCE POPS...BUT EXPECT MUCH LESS COVERAGE
THAN PREVIOUS DAYS.

&&

.LONG TERM /THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY/...
THE UPPER TROUGH ACROSS THE EASTERN STATES WILL CONTINUE TO WEAKEN
AS THE UPPER RIDGE BUILDS EASTWARD TOWARD THE REGION. THE FORECAST
AREA WILL BECOME POSITIONED BETWEEN THE SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE TO THE
WEST AND THE ATLANTIC HIGH PRESSURE BY THE WEEKEND. DURING THIS
TRANSITION...THE PATTERN WILL BE MUCH LESS EFFECTIVE AT GENERATING
PRECIPITATION. THEREFORE...HAVE POPS GENERALLY CAPPED AT 20 PERCENT
FOR EACH AFTERNOON WHILE DRY CONDITIONS WILL LIKELY PERSIST DURING
THE OVERNIGHT PERIODS. TEMPERATURES WILL REFLECT NORMAL SUMMERTIME
HIGHS AND LOWS WITH HIGHS IN THE LOW TO MID 90S AND LOWS GENERALLY
IN THE MID 70S.

&&

.AVIATION /18Z MONDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/...
PRIMARILY VFR AT BOTH TERMINALS WITH THE EXCEPTION OF EARLY MVFR
CIGS AND THUNDERSTORMS. THUNDERSTORM INITIATION TIMING IS SIMILAR TO
YESTERDAY...BUT MODELS ARE SHOWING THE THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY
DIMINISHING RATHER QUICKLY...AROUND 00Z. LOW LEVEL MOISTURE HAS
STUCK AROUND LONGER THAN EXPECTED...BUT SATELLITE HAS SHOWN A DRYING
TREND TO THE WEST AND THAT SHOULD CONTINUE IN THE AFTERNOON AS
TEMPERATURES RISE.

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

&&

.MARINE...
SIMILAR TO PAST DAYS IN SOME COASTAL AREAS...CONVECTION MAY POSE A
THREAT FOR DANGEROUS LIGHTNING AND LOCALIZED CONVECTIVE WIND GUSTS.
IT APPEARS THAT SHOWERS AND TSTMS WILL BE EVENTUALLY BECOME MORE
NUMEROUS 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 JUST INLAND THROUGH THE MIDDLE OF NEXT WEEK. A SOUTH TO
SOUTHWEST FLOW WILL PERSIST WITH WINDS REACHING 15 TO 20 KNOTS
DURING NOCTURNAL SURGING. SEAS WILL ALSO INCREASE IN CONJUNCTION WITH
INCREASING WINDS...BUT EXPECT CONDITIONS TO GENERALLY REMAIN BELOW
SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY CRITERIA THROUGH THE FORECAST PERIOD.
