Area forecast discussion, Jun 11, 2:06 PM EDT, 1 hour 30 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE CHARLESTON SC
206 PM EDT MON JUN 11 2012

.SYNOPSIS...
THE REGION WILL REMAIN POSITIONED BETWEEN HIGH PRESSURE OVER THE
ATLANTIC AND A TROUGH OF LOW PRESSURE APPROACHING FROM THE WEST
INTO TONIGHT. THE TROUGH OF LOW PRESSURE WILL THEN REMAIN IN PLACE
THROUGH WEDNESDAY. HIGH PRESSURE WILL SLOWLY BUILD INTO THE REGION
FROM THE NORTH AND WEST THURSDAY THROUGH THE UPCOMING WEEKEND.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 PM THIS EVENING/...
WIDESPREAD SHOWERS AND SOME THUNDERSTORMS HAVE MAINLY BEEN
CONFINED TO INTERIOR SECTIONS THUS FAR BUT MORE ACTIVITY IS FIRING
UP ALONG THE GA COAST AND THIS COULD BE THE BEGINNING OF A QLCS
AS THE TWO AREAS POTENTIALLY COMBINE NEAR INTERSTATE 95 AND THEN
PROGRESS EAST TOWARD THE COAST LATER THIS AFTERNOON. EITHER
WAY...MOST AREAS WILL SEE RAIN THROUGH THE AFTERNOON. LATEST
MESOANALYSIS INDICATES PLENTY OF SURFACE- BASED INSTABILITY WITH
SBCAPES OVER 4000 J/KG ACROSS SE GA AND THERE COULD BE JUST ENOUGH
SHEAR TO HELP ORGANIZE THE CONVECTION. SOME OF THE STORMS HAVE BEEN
ROTATING...MAINLY NORTHWEST OF OUR FORECAST AREA TOWARD ORANGEBURG
WHERE 0-1 SRH IS MAXIMIZED. THINK THE MAIN HAZARD THIS AFTERNOON
WILL BE DAMAGING WINDS...ESPECIALLY IF THE QLCS
DEVELOPS...ALTHOUGH HEAVY RAINFALL/LOCALIZED FLOODING AND FREQUENT
CLOUD TO GROUND LIGHTNING WILL BE POSSIBLE. A BRIEF/WEAK TORNADO
CANNOT BE RULED OUT EITHER. TEMPERATURES WILL LIKELY PEAK IN THE
MID 80S...ALTHOUGH SOME UPPER 80S ARE POSSIBLE NEAR THE ALTAMAHA
WHERE THERE ARE MORE BREAKS IN THE CLOUDS.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 PM THIS EVENING THROUGH THURSDAY/...
TONIGHT...DEEP MOISTURE WILL REMAIN IN PLACE AS A SHORT WAVE
TROUGH SHIFTS INTO THE AREA. THERE IS THE POSSIBILITY THAT A QLCS
MAY BE MOVING THROUGH THE AREA EARLY THIS EVENING...BUT REALLY THE
POTENTIAL FOR SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL EXIST AT JUST ABOUT
ANY TIME TONIGHT. EXPECT THE COVERAGE OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS
TO BE NUMEROUS OR WIDESPREAD MUCH OF THIS EVENING...DIMINISHING TO
MORE SCATTERED IN COVERAGE OVERNIGHT. LOCALLY HEAVY RAINFALL WHICH
COULD PRODUCE MINOR FLOODING OF LOW LYING AND POOR DRAINAGE AREAS
IS EXPECTED. THERE IS ALSO A LOW PROBABILITY OF DAMAGING WINDS IF
ORGANIZED CONVECTION DOES AFFECT THE AREA...MAINLY IN THE EVENING.
OVERCAST SKIES AND A CONTINUED ONSHORE FLOW WILL ONLY ALLOW
TEMPERATURES TO FALL TO LOWS NEAR 70 TONIGHT.

A BROAD UPPER LEVEL TROUGH WILL BE DIRECTLY OVER THE FORECAST AREA
ON TUESDAY WITH AN ASSOCIATED SURFACE TROUGH ACROSS INLAND SC/GA. WE
ARE NOT SEEING MUCH IN THE WAY OF SHORTWAVE ENERGY MOVING THROUGH ON
TUESDAY BUT THAT WILL NOT PRECLUDE SUBSTANTIAL COVERAGE OF SHOWERS
AND THUNDERSTORMS. A VERY MUGGY ATMOSPHERE WILL PERSIST WITH
PRECIPITABLE WATER CONTENT REMAINING ABOVE 2 INCHES. LOW-LEVEL
CONVERGENCE ALONG THE INLAND SURFACE TROUGH WILL PROBABLY BE THE
FOCUS FOR SHOWER AND THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY EARLIER IN THE DAY.
BREAKS IN THE CLOUDS WILL ALLOW POCKETS OF 2000-2500 J/KG CAPE TO
DEVELOP. CONVECTION SHOULD INCREASE IN COVERAGE TO THE EAST AS THE
DAY WEARS ON AND CONVECTIVE OUTFLOWS BECOME MORE NUMEROUS. WE ARE
CARRYING LIKELY POPS TUESDAY. HEAVY RAINFALL COULD BECOME A CONCERN
IN SPOTS GIVEN THE HEAVY RAINFALL THAT OCCURRED SUNDAY AND WILL
LIKELY FALL ON MONDAY AS WELL. WITH THE SURFACE TROUGH AXIS IN PLACE
THE LOW-LEVEL FLOW WILL WEAKEN TO LESS THAN 10 KT...RESULTING IN
EVEN SLOWER CELL MOTIONS AND LIKELY BACK-BUILDING AND MERGING
CONVECTION.

THE SURFACE AND UPPER TROUGH AXES LOOK TO SHIFT OFF THE COAST BY
WEDNESDAY NIGHT...PUSHING THE BEST CHANCE FOR PRECIP OFFSHORE AS
WELL. CONVECTIVE COVERAGE ON WEDNESDAY IS TRICKY DUE TO TIMING
VARIATIONS BUT FOR NOW WE WILL MAINTAIN CHANCE POPS ALL DAY WITH
HIGHEST VALUES OFF THE COAST.

ON THURSDAY...SLIGHT UPPER RIDGING TO THE WEST WILL ALLOW DRIER HIGH
PRESSURE OVER EASTERN CANADA TO SPREAD DOWN THE EASTERN SEABOARD AND
INTO OUR NORTHERN ZONES. WE THINK NORTHERN AREAS WILL BE MAINLY DRY
ON THURSDAY BUT A MORE MOIST ENE FLOW OVER SOUTHEAST GA COULD ALLOW
FOR SCATTERED SHOWERS/STORMS TO DEVELOP.

&&

.LONG TERM /THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY/...
MEDIUM-RANGE GUIDANCE IS NOW IN MUCH BETTER AGREEMENT REGARDING THE
LONG-TERM PERIODS. AN UNSEASONABLY DEEP UPPER RIDGE IS PROGGED TO
BUILD INTO THE GREAT LAKES REGION OVER THE WEEKEND WITH A CLOSED
UPPER LOW DEVELOPING OVER NORTHERN FLORIDA EARLY NEXT WEEK. FOR OUR
AREA...SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE BUILDING DOWN THE EASTERN SEABOARD WILL
MAINTAIN A QUIETER PATTERN BUT KEEP ISOLATED TO SCATTERED CONVECTION
IN THE FORECAST...MAINLY OVER THE WATERS AND FAR SOUTHERN GA. TEMPS
WILL BE A FEW DEGREES BELOW NORMAL.

&&

.AVIATION /18Z MONDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/...
ABUNDANT LOW LEVEL MOISTURE WILL SUPPORT MVFR CEILINGS AND/OR
VISIBILITIES AT TIMES THROUGH 00Z AT BOTH KCHS AND KSAV. THERE IS A
LOW CHANCE OF IFR CIGS AT BOTH TERMINALS DURING THUNDERSTORMS
BETWEEN 20-00Z THIS EVENING. A FEW THUNDERSTORMS MAY BE STRONG AS A
CONVECTIVE COMPLEX SHIFTS ACROSS THE AREA THIS EVENING.

UNCERTAINTY REMAINS HIGH DURING THE OVERNIGHT PERIOD. HAVE
MAINTAINED MVFR CIGS BETWEEN 04-13Z TUESDAY FOR CHS AND 05-13Z
TUESDAY FOR SAV AS SHOWER ACTIVITY REMAINS POSSIBLE OVERNIGHT.
CONDITIONS WILL IMPROVE TO VFR AT BOTH TERMINALS AROUND 13Z AS DEEP
MOISTURE BEGINS TO SHIFT OVER THE ATLANTIC.

EXTENDED AVIATION OUTLOOK...PERIODIC RESTRICTIONS TO VSBYS/CIGS WILL
BE POSSIBLE TUESDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY WITH ROUNDS OF SHOWERS AND
STORMS. WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY WILL MAINLY BE VFR BUT LOW
CEILINGS OR FOG MAY IMPACT EITHER TERMINAL DURING THE LATE NIGHT
PERIODS.

&&

.MARINE...
HIGH PRESSURE OVER THE WESTERN ATLANTIC WILL MAINTAIN A SOUTHERLY
SYNOPTIC FLOW ACROSS THE WATERS THROUGH TONIGHT. WINDS WILL
GENERALLY BE IN THE 10-15 KT RANGE TODAY...BUT COULD INCREASE
UPWARDS OF AROUND 15 KT TONIGHT AS THE SURFACE PRESSURE GRADIENT
TIGHTENS AND WEAK SURGING DEVELOPS. SEAS WILL REMAIN IN THE 2-4 FT
RANGE.

SUB-ADVISORY SOUTHERLY FLOW TO CONTINUE TUESDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY.
NORTHEAST WINDS WILL DEVELOP THURSDAY INTO THE WEEKEND AS HIGH
PRESSURE BUILDS FROM THE NORTH. CHANCES FOR SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY
CONDITIONS INCREASE BY SATURDAY AS SEAS COULD BUILD TO 6 FT OVER
OUTER WATERS.

&&

GA...NONE.
