Special Weather Statement, NWS Charleston, SC

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE CHARLESTON SC
422 PM EDT TUE MAY 22 2012

...SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH IN EFFECT UNTIL 9 PM EDT...

.SYNOPSIS...
A WEAK COLD FRONT WILL APPROACH FROM THE WEST TONIGHT...THEN
STALL AND GRADUALLY DISSIPATE WEDNESDAY AND THURSDAY. HIGH
PRESSURE WILL BUILD NORTH OF THE AREA THROUGH THE WEEKEND... WHILE
AN INVERTED TROUGH OF LOW PRESSURE WILL REMAIN WELL OFFSHORE IN
THE ATLANTIC.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM WEDNESDAY MORNING/...
A CLOSED UPPER LEVEL LOW WILL LINGER OVER EASTERN TENNESSEE
AND NORTHERN GEORGIA BEFORE SHIFTING OVER THE SOUTHERN
APPALACHIANS LATER THIS EVENING AND OVERNIGHT. A POTENT SHORT WAVE
WILL CONTINUE TO ROUND THE BASE OF THE LOW/TROUGH AND APPROACH
FROM THE WEST LATE THIS AFTERNOON...THEN SHIFT ACROSS THE AREA
THIS EVENING BEFORE DEPARTING OVERNIGHT. AT THE SURFACE...A LEE
SIDE TROUGH OVER THE EASTERN MIDLANDS AND EAST-CENTRAL GEORGIA
WILL GRADUALLY SHIFT EASTWARD AND OVER THE AREA THIS EVENING.

STRONG DESTABILIZATION HAS TAKEN PLACE AS TEMPERATURES WARMED WELL
INTO THE UPPER 80S UNDER MOSTLY SUNNY SKIES THIS AFTERNOON. MID-
AFTERNOON MESOANALYSIS DEPICTS SURFACE BASED CAPE VALUES IN EXCESS
OF 2000 J/KG OVER THE AREA...WITH DOWNDRAFT CAPE VALUES AS HIGH AS
800-900 J/KG AND LI/S OF -4 TO -5. WHILE MID LEVEL LAPSE RATES ARE
NOT OVERLY IMPRESSIVE...LOW LEVEL LAPSE RATES ARE A VERY
RESPECTABLE 9 C/KM. DESPITE ALL OF THE INSTABILITY...BULK SHEAR
VALUES ARE NOT VERY HIGH.

CONVECTION HAS DEVELOPED ACROSS PORTIONS OF COASTAL SOUTHEAST
SOUTH CAROLINA THIS AFTERNOON AHEAD OF A LEADING SHORT WAVE AND IN
THE VICINITY OF THE SEA BREEZE. MORE ORGANIZED CONVECTION HAS ALSO
DEVELOPED ACROSS EASTERN GEORGIA ALONG THE LEADING EDGE OF THE DRY
AIR ASSOCIATED WITH THE POTENT SHORT WAVE NOTICEABLE ON WATER VAPOR
IMAGERY. IT IS THIS AREA OF CONVECTION THAT IS THE GREATEST
CONCERN THROUGH THIS EVENING AS THE SHORT WAVE TRACKS ACROSS THE
AREA. GIVEN THE AMOUNT OF INSTABILITY IN PLACE...FORCING FOR
ASCENT PROVIDED BY THE SHORT WAVE AND THE INLAND PROGRESSING SEA
BREEZE...CONVECTION WILL REMAIN SCATTERED TO NUMEROUS IN COVERAGE
THROUGH THE EVENING. THE POTENTIAL FOR SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS WILL
CONTINUE THROUGH AT LEAST MID-EVENING...AND A SEVERE THUNDERSTORM
WATCH IS IN EFFECT UNTIL 9 PM THIS EVENING. LARGE HAIL AND
DAMAGING WIND GUSTS CONTINUE TO BE THE GREATEST CONCERN.

CONVECTION SHOULD TAPER OFF FROM THE SOUTHWEST OVERNIGHT. CLOUD
COVER COULD REMAIN RATHER EXTENSIVE...AND LOWS ARE FORECAST TO BE
IN THE MID TO UPPER 70S.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 AM WEDNESDAY MORNING THROUGH FRIDAY/...
THE UPPER TROUGH/CLOSED LOW WILL WEAKEN WEDNESDAY BUT THE TROUGH
WILL REMAIN IN PLACE THROUGH THURSDAY NIGHT BEFORE THE UPPER RIDGE
OF HIGH PRESSURE MOVES INTO THE AREA FROM THE WEST FRIDAY. AS FAR AS
RAIN CHANCES ARE CONCERNED...THE BEST CHANCE SHOULD BE ACROSS
SOUTHERN SOUTH CAROLINA WEDNESDAY WHERE THE DEEPER MOISTURE WILL
BE...ALTHOUGH THERE WILL LIKELY BE SOME CONVECTION FIRING ALONG THE
SEA BREEZE IN SOUTHEAST GEORGIA. SEVERE THREAT APPEARS
LIMITED...MAINLY CONFINED TO SOUTHERN SOUTH CAROLINA WHERE THE BEST
COMBINATION OF INSTABILITY/SHEAR ARE EXPECTED. JUST SLIGHT RAIN
CHANCES THURSDAY AND FRIDAY AS HEIGHTS RISE ALOFT...MAINLY DURING
THE AFTERNOON ASSOCIATED WITH THE SEA BREEZE.

TEMPERATURES THROUGH THE PERIOD LOOK TO REMAIN ABOVE NORMAL.

&&

.LONG TERM /FRIDAY NIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY/...
FOR THE WEEKEND...I HAVE GONE WITH GFS SOLUTION INDICATING A FAIRLY
STRONG MID LEVEL RIDGE DEVELOPING NORTH AND WEST OF THE AREA. THE
LARGE SCALE SUBSIDENCE UNDERNEATH THE RIDGE SHOULD KEEP OUR CHANCES
FOR CONVECTION LOW AND THE TEMPS HIGH. I EXPECT MOST PLACES TO REACH
90 SATURDAY AND SUNDAY....EXCEPT LOCATIONS WITHIN 10 MILES OR SO OF
THE COAST WHERE THE SEA BREEZE WILL MODERATE THE TEMPS A BIT.
HOWEVER...NIGHT TIME LOWS ALONG THE BEACHES WILL STRUGGLE TO GET
BELOW 70...WITH MID 60S INLAND.

THE MID LEVEL RIDGE SINKS DOWN INTO THE AREA ON MONDAY AND BEGINS TO
WEAKEN A LITTLE...BUT NOT ENOUGH TO MAKE MUCH OF A DIFFERENCE IN THE
SENSIBLE WEATHER.

&&

.AVIATION /20Z TUESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/...
VFR CONDITIONS ARE FORECAST THROUGH 18Z WEDNESDAY AT BOTH KCHS AND
KSAV...BUT THE TIMING AND COVERAGE OF CONVECTION THROUGH THIS
EVENING WILL BE THE GREATEST CONCERN AT THE TERMINALS.

AT KCHS...SOME VICINITY THUNDERSTORMS APPEAR POSSIBLE FROM 19-22Z
AS THE SEA BREEZE MOVES INLAND...BUT COVERAGE SHOULD INCREASE LATE
THIS AFTERNOON AND EARLY THIS EVENING AS A SHORT WAVE DISTURBANCE
APPROACHES AND HAVE INCLUDED A TEMPO GROUP FROM 22-02Z FOR
THUNDERSTORMS.

AT KSAV...BASED ON CURRENT RADAR TRENDS...CONVECTION APPEARS TO BE MOST
PROBABLE FROM 20-00Z AS A SHORT WAVE DISTURBANCE APPROACHES.
THUNDERSTORMS HAVE BEEN ADDED IN A TEMPO GROUP DURING THIS TIME
PERIOD AS A RESULT.

WITH ANY THUNDERSTORMS...BRIEF/TEMPORARY REDUCTIONS TO MVFR OR
LOWER CONDITIONS ARE POSSIBLE AS ARE GUSTY AND ERRATIC WINDS.

EXTENDED AVIATION OUTLOOK...VFR CONDITIONS TO PREVAIL THROUGH THE
WEEKEND. SMALL RISK FOR SH/TSTMS...MAINLY EACH AFTERNOON...AND MVFR
FOG/STRATUS EACH MORNING AROUND DAYBREAK.

&&

.MARINE...
A NOCTURNAL SURGE IS EXPECTED TO DEVELOP TONIGHT...BECOMING
SLIGHTLY MORE ENHANCED BY THE APPROACH OF AN UPPER LEVEL
DISTURBANCE. SOUTH-SOUTHWEST WINDS COULD INCREASE UPWARDS OF 15
KT...POSSIBLY EVEN A BIT HIGHER OVER THE OUTER GEORGIA WATERS...FOR
A PERIOD OVERNIGHT. SEAS WILL RESPOND BY BUILDING TO 3-5
FT...HIGHEST OVER THE OUTER GEORGIA WATERS.

WEDNESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY...ATLANTIC HIGH PRESSURE TO GENERALLY
PREVAIL THROUGH THU NIGHT BEFORE A LOW PRESSURE TROUGH OR CLOSED LOW
DEVELOPS SOUTHEAST OF THE AREA FRIDAY WHICH WILL LEAD TO WINDS
SHIFTING FROM THE SOUTH/SOUTHWEST TO NORTHEAST/EAST. COULD SEE
ADVISORY CONDITIONS OVER THE WEEKEND...MAINLY FOR SEAS BEYOND 20
NM.
