AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE CHARLESTON SC
450 AM EDT MON JUN 4 2012

...SIGNIFICANT SEVERE WEATHER EVENT POSSIBLE ESPECIALLY
THIS AFTERNOON...

.SYNOPSIS...
A COLD FRONT WILL GRADUALLY ADVANCE INTO THE REGION TODAY THROUGH
THE EARLY PART OF THE WEEK...LIKELY LINGERING IN THE VICINITY OF
THE AREA THROUGH LATE WEEK. HIGH PRESSURE IS EXPECTED TO RETURN BY
THE WEEKEND.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 PM THIS EVENING/...
COMPLEX CONVECTIVE SCENARIO WILL PLAY OUT TODAY. IN SHORT...CANNOT
RULE OUT ISOLATED DAMAGING WIND GUSTS OR LARGE HAIL MAINLY ACROSS
SC COUNTIES THIS MORNING...BUT A BETTER CHANCE FOR SEVERE WEATHER
ESPECIALLY DAMAGING WIND WILL SHIFT S/W OF THE CHARLESTON
AREA...INCLUDING ALL OF SE GA...AS A SEVERE MCS WILL LIKELY PUSH
THROUGH THAT AREA STARTING LATE MORNING/EARLY AFTERNOON THROUGH
MID TO LATE AFTERNOON.

EARLY MONDAY MORNING...WARM ADVECTION/ISENTROPIC ASCENT AND
ELEVATED DESTABILIZATION WITHIN 850-700 MB THETA-E RIDGE SUPPORTED
CLUSTERS OF THUNDERSTORMS WHICH WERE MOVING QUICKLY TOWARD THE
SOUTHEAST ACROSS SOUTHEAST SOUTH CAROLINA AND ADJACENT COASTAL
WATERS. UPSTREAM...THE LEAD CONVECTIVE ELEMENTS OF AN MCS WERE
PUSHING E/SE ACROSS N GA...AND THIS ORGANIZED CONVECTION WILL
PUSH THROUGH SC COUNTIES IN SOME FORM EARLY THIS MORNING. IN
GENERAL...CLOUD TOPS WERE WARMING UPSTREAM...BUT THE LEADING MID
LEVEL COLD POOL SHOULD PERSIST LONG ENOUGH TO DRIVE AT LEAST
NUMEROUS THUNDERSTORMS THROUGH SC AND PERHAPS INLAND COUNTIES OF
SE GA THIS MORNING. UNLESS SIGNIFICANT WEAKENING OCCURS UPSTREAM
THIS EARLY MORNING CONVECTION WILL LIKELY PRODUCE GUSTY
WINDS...HEAVY RAIN AND FREQUENT LIGHTNING...AND ISOLATED DAMAGING
WIND GUSTS/LARGE HAIL CANNOT BE COMPLETELY RULED OUT.

FARTHER SOUTH...WITH THUNDERSTORMS FOCUSED ACROSS N/INLAND
COUNTIES WITHIN THE 850-700 MB THETA E RIDGE AND ALONG MCS
OUTFLOW...THE CHANCE FOR ANY PRECIPITATION WILL REMAIN LOW ACROSS
SE GA ALONG/S OF I-16 UNTIL LATE MORNING/MIDDAY.

AFTER THE EARLY MORNING PERIOD MAINTAINED SLIGHT CHANCE TO CHANCE
POPS UNTIL LATE MORNING AS ADDITIONAL THUNDERSTORMS WILL LIKELY
DEVELOP ALONG MESOSCALE BOUNDARIES OVER AND UPSTREAM OF THE
REGION. THE DETAILS REGARDING MID TO LATE MORNING PRECIPITATION
REMAIN UNCLEAR AND WILL DEPEND OF THE IMPACT OF THE EARLY MORNING
CONVECTION...AND FORECAST ADJUSTMENTS WILL BE REQUIRED.

OF GREATEST INTEREST...GUIDANCE DEPICTS A WELL-DEFINED VORTICITY
MAXIMUM CREATED BY THE UPSTREAM MCS SWINGING SE THROUGH THE FORECAST
AREA THIS AFTERNOON. THIS FEATURE WILL LIKELY SUPPORT AN MCS WHICH
SHOULD ADVANCE THROUGH S/W COUNTIES OF THE FORECAST AREA...PROBABLY
S/W OF THE CHARLESTON TRI-COUNTY REGION...ANY TIME FROM LATE THIS
MORNING/EARLY THIS AFTERNOON THROUGH MID TO LATE AFTERNOON. A
STRONGLY SHEARED ENVIRONMENT FEATURING MID LEVEL WINDS EXCEEDING 50
KNOTS AND HEATING/DESTABILIZATION/MESOSCALE BOUNDARIES LEFT BY
MORNING CONVECTION WILL SUPPORT EITHER MULTIPLE CLUSTERS OF
THUNDERSTORMS...A DOMINANT SEVERE CONVECTIVE COMPLEX OR SOME
COMBINATION OF THESE SCENARIOS. IF FAVORABLE THERMODYNAMIC/KINEMATIC
PARAMETERS OCCUR IN PHASE A SIGNIFICANT WIND DAMAGE EVENT COULD
OCCUR ACROSS S/W COUNTIES THIS AFTERNOON.

ALSO OF NOTE...SOME GUIDANCE SUGGESTS THAT THE INITIALLY
PROGRESSIVE MCS COULD BEGIN TO BACK BUILD IN AN E-W BAND ACROSS SE
GA FOR A TIME LATER THIS AFTERNOON INTO THIS EVENING. IF THIS
OCCURS... REDEVELOPMENT/TRAINING OF CONVECTION COULD SUPPORT
LOCALLY EXCESSIVE RAINFALL.

THE TIMING...PATH AND INTENSITY OF ANY SEVERE MCS REMAINS
UNCERTAIN...SO EXPECT FORECAST ADJUSTMENTS AS THE DAY PROGRESSES.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 PM THIS EVENING THROUGH THURSDAY/...
ALL FORECAST PARAMETERS REMAIN HIGHLY UNCERTAIN TONIGHT AND WILL
DEPEND GREATLY THE IMPACT OF AFTERNOON CONVECTION. CHANCE POPS ARE
CERTAINLY IN ORDER AS A SLOW-MOVING COLD FRONT SLIPS INTO THE
REGION...WITH HIGHEST POPS JUSTIFIED ACROSS THE SOUTH. HOWEVER...
PRECIPITATION COVERAGE COULD REMAIN SPARSE IN THE WAKE OF
ORGANIZED AFTERNOON CONVECTION...OR ANOTHER CONVECTIVE COMPLEX
COULD PUSH INTO THE REGION FROM THE NW OVERNIGHT.

THE UNSETTLED PATTERN WILL CONTINUE THIS PERIOD AS A NEARLY
STATIONARY FRONT LIES OVER/NEAR THE AREA AND UPPER SHORTWAVE
TROUGHS TRAVERSE THE AREA. GENERALLY HAVE THE HIGHEST RAIN CHANCES
CONFINED TO SOUTHEAST GEORGIA WHERE DEEPER MOISTURE/INSTABILITY
ARE EXPECTED. COULD SEE SOME SEVERE STORMS...MAINLY TUESDAY
AFTERNOON SOUTH OF INTERSTATE 16 WHERE THE GREATEST
SHEAR/INSTABILITY ARE EXPECTED. TEMPERATURES NEAR NORMAL
TUESDAY...THEN LIKELY COOLING OFF SLIGHTLY WED/THU.

&&

.LONG TERM /THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY/...
THE PERSISTENT UPPER TROUGH ALONG THE EAST COAST WILL LIKELY SHIFT
OFFSHORE FRIDAY...PUSHING THE SURFACE FRONT SOUTHEAST OF THE AREA
AND ALLOWING HIGH PRESSURE TO BUILD IN FROM THE NORTHWEST FOR THE
WEEKEND. THE HIGH WILL THEN SHIFT OFFSHORE BY MONDAY. BELOW NORMAL
TEMPS FRIDAY/FRIDAY NIGHT WILL CLIMB BACK TO NEAR NORMAL SAT/SUN.

&&

.AVIATION /07Z MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/...
LOW LEVEL WIND SHEAR WILL PREVAIL THROUGH DAYBREAK.

THUNDERSTORMS WILL IMPACT KCHS VICINITY EARLY THIS MORNING. EXPECT
AMENDMENTS AS REQUIRED TO ADDRESS NEAR TERM CONVECTIVE TRENDS.
THUNDERSTORMS COULD CONTINUE TO DEVELOP/MOVE INTO THE KCHS AREA
THROUGH THE DAY...BUT THE GREATEST THREAT SHOULD SHIFT S/W OF THIS
TERMINAL BY THIS AFTERNOON.

AT KSAV...THUNDERSTORMS WILL ARRIVE LATER...PERHAPS NOT UNTIL
WELL AFTER 12Z...BUT GREATER IMPACTS FROM STRONG WINDS AND VERY
HEAVY RAIN APPEAR MORE LIKELY HERE AS A SEVERE MCS COULD PUSH
THROUGH THE TERMINAL AT SOME POINT KATE MORNING/EARLY AFTERNOON
TO MID OR LATE AFTERNOON. THEN...THUNDERSTORMS COULD LINGER IN
THIS AREA BEYOND 00Z.

OUTSIDE ANY THUNDERSTORMS...VFR CONDITIONS ARE FORECAST THROUGH
THE 06Z TAF PERIOD. HOWEVER...MVFR OR LOWER CONDITIONS COULD
DEVELOP ESPECIALLY AFTER 06Z WHERE RAINFALL OCCURS.

EXTENDED AVIATION OUTLOOK...INCREASING CHANCES OF SUB-VFR
CONDITIONS MONDAY/MONDAY NIGHT IN SHOWERS/TSTMS ASSOCIATED WITH A
SOUTHWARD MOVING COLD FRONT. SMALL CHANCE OF PERIODIC SUB-VFR
CONDITIONS THROUGH THU AS THE FRONT LINGERS OVER/NEAR THE AREA.

&&

.MARINE...
SW WINDS 15-20 KT WILL VEER TO THE W AT SIMILAR SPEEDS THIS
EVENING...THEN WILL VEER TOWARD THE NW AND WILL DIMINISH SOMEWHAT
OVERNIGHT. SEAS WILL REMAIN 2-4 FT...PERHAPS AS HIGH AS 5 FT BEYOND
20 NM.

THUNDERSTORMS COULD PRODUCE HAZARDOUS CONDITIONS TODAY...ESPECIALLY
THIS AFTERNOON/EARLY EVENING. FURTHER...THUNDERSTORMS COULD
GREATLY ALTER LOCAL WINDS AT ANY TIME TODAY AND TONIGHT.

TUESDAY THROUGH SATURDAY...A NEARLY STATIONARY FRONT WILL REMAIN
ACROSS THE AREA THROUGH AT LEAST THURSDAY BEFORE HIGH PRESSURE
BUILDS IN FROM THE NORTHWEST BY THE END OF THE WEEK. ALTHOUGH THERE
WILL BE SOME WIND/WAVE SURGES DO NOT ANTICIPATE ANY ADVISORIES AT
THIS TIME.

&&

.TIDES/COASTAL FLOODING...
THROUGH MID WEEK...PERIGEAN SPRING TIDES COULD PRODUCE MINOR SALT
WATER FLOODING DURING EACH EVENING HIGH TIDE. HIGH TIDE THIS
EVENING WILL OCCUR BETWEEN 730 PM AND 930 PM ACROSS COASTAL
COUNTIES.

&&

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