AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE CHARLESTON SC
401 PM EDT FRI AUG 17 2012

.SYNOPSIS...
AN INLAND TROUGH OF LOW PRESSURE WILL PREVAIL THROUGH FRIDAY.
A COLD FRONT WILL APPROACH FROM THE NORTH SATURDAY AND STALL ACROSS
NORTHERN SOUTH CAROLINA SATURDAY NIGHT INTO SUNDAY. THE FRONT WILL
LINGER TO THE NORTH THROUGH EARLY NEXT WEEK BEFORE SHIFTING
OFFSHORE.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM SATURDAY MORNING/...
SCATTERED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS NOW MOVING IN FROM THE WEST
AND IMPACTING OUR WESTERN COUNTIES. OTHER MORE ISOLATED STORMS
FORMING ALONG THE SEA BREEZE...MAINLY OVER CHARLESTON COUNTY.

EXPECT SCATTERED CONVECTION TO CONTINUE THROUGH THE AFTERNOON AND
EARLY EVENING AS STORMS MOVE GENERALLY FROM WEST TO EAST. THERE IS
STILL THE POTENTIAL FOR ISOLATED STRONG TO SEVERE STORMS...BUT
LATEST TRENDS SEEM TO BE FAVORING LOWER CHANCES FOR ANY SEVERE STORMS.

FOR TONIGHT...MODELS ARE HINTING AT ANOTHER ROUND OF CONVECTION TO
FIRE UP LATER TONIGHT WITH ASSOCIATED WITH A SHORT WAVE TROUGH.
SEEMS MODELS TYPICALLY OVERDO THESE TYPE OF NOCTURNAL EVENTS
DURING THE SUMMER...AND HAVE CONTINUE LOW/SLIGHT CHANCE POP
FORECAST FOR NOW.

LOW TEMPS WILL BE IN THE LOWER 70S MOST AREAS...EXCEPT MID 70S
CLOSER TO THE COAST. THE POTENTIAL FOR PATCHY FOG HAS INCREASED
FOR LATER TONIGHT GIVEN THE MORE WIDESPREAD RAINFALL THIS
AFTERNOON...BUT CONFIDENCE NOT HIGH ENOUGH TO INCLUDE IN FORECAST
AT THIS TIME.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 AM SATURDAY MORNING THROUGH MONDAY/...
SATURDAY...A COLD FRONT WILL SAG SOUTH INTO THE SOUTH CAROLINA
MIDLANDS AND PEE DEE SATURDAY AFTERNOON IN RESPONSE TO SHORTWAVE
ENERGY DIGGING ACROSS THE EASTERN OHIO VALLEY AND CENTRAL
APPALACHIANS. THE EVOLUTION OF CONVECTION IS RATHER UNCERTAIN WITH
MODELS SHOWING A POTENTIAL FOR SOME FAIRLY SIGNIFICANT LOWER MID-
LEVEL THETA AIR ADVECTING INTO THE REGION AHEAD OF THE FRONT
DURING PEAK HEATING. THE LATEST NAM IS THE MOST AGGRESSIVE WITH
THE MID-LEVEL DRYING WHILE THE SIGNALS IN THE GFS/ECMWF ARE NOT AS
PRONOUNCED. THE EVENTUAL COVERAGE OF SHOWERS/TSTMS WILL BE CLOSELY
TIED TO THIS GIVEN THE LACK OF SIGNIFICANT UPPER FORCING. PLAN TO
LOWER POPS SLIGHTLY TO 20-40 PERCENT GIVEN THE LATEST MODEL TRENDS
WITH THE HIGHEST GRIDDED POPS PLACED ACROSS THE INTERIOR AND FAR
NORTHERN ZONES WHICH WILL BE CLOSEST TO THE COLD FRONT ITSELF.
CONVERGE MAY BE MORE LIMITED ACROSS SOUTHEAST GEORGIA WHERE
CONVECTION WILL BE PRIMARY CLUSTERED ALONG THE SEA BREEZE AND
VARIOUS CONVECTIVE OUTFLOWS.

MODIFIED SOUNDINGS SHOW MODEST INSTABILITY WILL BE IN PLACE WITH
FAIRLY WEAK SHEAR PROFILES. 0-6KM BULK SHEAR IS FORECAST TO INCREASE
TO 20-25 KT BY LATE AFTERNOON ACROSS THE CHARLESTON TRI-COUNTY
WHICH MAY PROVIDE ENOUGH SUPPORT FOR MORE ORGANIZE MULTI-CELLULAR
CLUSTERS...ESPECIALLY IF MESOSCALE BOUNDARY INTERACTIONS OCCUR. THE
SPC DAY 2 SEVERE WEATHER OUTLOOK GUIDANCE PRODUCT CURRENTLY
HIGHLIGHTS THE NORTHERN PARTS OF THE FORECAST AREA IN A SLIGHT RISK
FOR SEVERE TSTMS...BUT CURRENT DATA SUGGEST THE GREATEST RISK FOR
ORGANIZED SEVERE WEATHER WILL BE DISPLACED FARTHER TO NORTH AND
NORTHEAST WHERE SHEAR PROFILES WILL BE THE STRONGEST. THE RISK FOR
ORGANIZED SEVERE WEATHER LOOKS TOO MARGINAL TO INCLUDE A MENTION IN
THE HAZARDOUS WEATHER OUTLOOK ATTM. HOPEFULLY...THE NEXT FEW MODELS
RUNS WILL YIELD A CLEARER PICTURE ON HOW CONVECTION WILL EVOLVE.

SUNDAY...SCATTERED SHOWERS/TSTMS ARE EXPECTED DURING THE AFTERNOON/
EARLY EVENING HOURS AS A RATHER POTENT SOUTHERN STREAM SHORTWAVE
CROSSES THE REGION DURING PEAK HEATING. A STATIONARY FRONT TO THE
NORTH...LINGERING CONVECTIVE OUTFLOWS FROM TSTMS SATURDAY AS WELL AS
THE AFTERNOON SEA BREEZE CIRCULATION WILL THE PRIMARY FOCI FOR
CONVECTIVE DEVELOPMENT. SOUNDINGS SHOW MODEST SBCAPE...BUT
CONSIDERABLE CLOUD COVER WILL LIMIT OVERALL INSTABILITY SOMEWHAT.
0-6KM BULK SHEAR ON THE ORDER OF 15-20 KT COULD SUPPORT A FEW SEVERE
MULTI-CELLULAR CLUSTERS A FEW OF WHICH COULD BECOME SEVERE. AN
ORGANIZED SEVERE EVENT IS UNLIKELY ATTM. GRIDDED POPS OF 40-50 PCNT
LOOK REASONABLE DURING THIS TIME FRAME...BUT HIGHER POPS MAY
EVENTUALLY BE NEEDED.

MONDAY...ANOTHER ROUND OF SCATTERED SHOWERS/TSTMS IS EXPECTED AS A
PLETHORA OF IMPULSES ROUNDING THE BASE OF THE LONG-WAVE TROUGH
TRAVERSE THE REGION AND INTERACTS WITH INCREASING TROPICAL
MOISTURE...LIKELY ASSOCIATED WITH THE REMNANTS OF TROPICAL
DEPRESSION 7 IN THE BAY OF CAMPECHE. WILL CAP POPS AT 40
PERCENT...BUT HIGHER POPS MAY BE NEEDED AS TEMPORAL AND SPATIAL
DETAILS BECOME MORE CERTAIN.

&&

.LONG TERM /MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY/...
THE UPPER TROUGH WILL REMAIN ANCHORED ACROSS THE EASTERN HALF OF THE
UNITED STATES THROUGH MID WEEK. INITIALLY A STALLED COLD FRONT WILL
REMAIN OFFSHORE BEFORE PULLING AWAY FROM THE AREA AROUND WEDNESDAY.
THE UPPER TROUGH WILL BEGIN TO WEAKEN THEREAFTER...BUT MODELS STILL
SHOW A SERIES OF WEAK DISTURBANCES SWINGING ACROSS THE AREA.
OVERALL...EXPECT ISOLATED TO SCATTERED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS
THROUGH THE EXPENDED PERIOD...ESPECIALLY DURING THE TRADITIONAL
AFTERNOON HOURS. SLIGHTLY BELOW NORMAL TEMPERATURES ARE ALSO
EXPECTED TO CONTINUE WITH HIGHS IN THE UPPER 80S AND LOWS POSSIBLY
DIPPING INTO THE MID TO UPPER 60S.

&&

.AVIATION /19Z FRIDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
CONVECTION HAS KICKED OFF RATHER EARLY AGAIN TODAY. THE BEST
CHANCE FOR CONVECTION WILL BE AT KSAV WITH STORMS ALREADY
DEVELOPING TO THE SOUTH AND WEST OF THE AREA. HAVE GONE FOR TEMPO
STORMS THROUGH THE AFTERNOON...BUT HAVE KEPT VFR CIGS FOR NOW.
CHANCES FOR CONVECTION LESS FOR KCHS...BUT THINK THEY WILL HAVE
ISOLATED STORMS AROUND THE AREA LATER THIS AFTERNOON WITH THE SEA
BREEZE AND OTHER STORMS THAT FORM AND MOVE IN FROM THE WEST.

CONVECTION SHOULD DISSIPATE THIS EVENING WITH VFR EXPECTED TO
PREVAIL. WILL MONITOR THE POTENTIAL FOR PATCHY FOG LATER
TONIGHT...ESPECIALLY IN AREAS THAT RECEIVED RAINFALL.

EXTENDED AVIATION OUTLOOK...THERE IS A CHANCE OF SOME LOW CLOUDS
AROUND EACH MORNING THROUGH THE WEEKEND...POSSIBLY ENOUGH TO LOWER
CIGS TO MVFR FOR AN HOUR OR TWO. OTHERWISE...SCATTERED SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS...MAINLY DURING THE AFTERNOON/EVENING HOURS...COULD
RESULT IN TEMPORARY REDUCTIONS IN CIGS/VSBYS THIS WEEKEND.

&&

.MARINE...
NO HIGHLIGHTS EXPECTED THROUGH TONIGHT. A TROUGH OF LOW PRESSURE
WILL REMAIN INLAND WITH AN ATLANTIC RIDGE CENTERED WELL SOUTHEAST
OF THE REGION. ISOLATED TO SCATTERED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS
EXPECTED MAINLY THIS EVENING...BUT ADDITIONAL SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS COULD DEVELOP AGAIN LATER TONIGHT. WINDS ARE
EXPECTED TO REMAIN GENERALLY 15 KTS OR LESS AND SEAS 3 FEET OR
LESS THROUGH TONIGHT. WINDS MAY BRIEFLY SURGE TO 15-20 KTS LATER
TONIGHT OVER THE SC WATERS. HOWEVER...DUE TO A RELATIVELY SHORT
DURATION AND UNCERTAINTY IN THE FORECAST FOR THIS SURGE TO
OCCUR...HAVE KEPT OUT OF FORECAST FOR NOW.

A COLD FRONT WILL APPROACH FROM THE NORTHWEST THROUGH THE
WEEKEND...BEFORE STALLING JUST OFF THE SOUTHEAST COAST BY THE MIDDLE
OF NEXT WEEK. OVERALL...A SOUTH-SOUTHWEST FLOW IS GENERALLY EXPECTED
EACH DAY...WITH THE FLOW VEERING OFFSHORE DURING THE NIGHTTIME/EARLY
MORNING HOURS. GENERALLY BRIEF SURGES UPWARDS OF 15-20 KT WILL
OCCUR AT TIMES...ESPECIALLY SUNDAY THROUGH MONDAY NIGHT AS THE
PRESSURE GRADIENT TIGHTENS IN ASSOCIATION WITH THE APPROACHING
COLD FRONT.
