AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE CHARLESTON SC
339 PM EDT SAT JUL 27 2013

.SYNOPSIS...
A TROUGH OF LOW PRESSURE WILL PERSIST OVER OR JUST WEST OF THE
AREA THROUGH AT LEAST THE MIDDLE OF NEXT WEEK.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM SUNDAY MORNING/...
THIS AFTERNOON...CONVECTION HAS LARGELY STAYED ACROSS AREAS WEST
OF I-95 THUS FAR AS ANTICIPATED. COVERAGE HAS AT TIMES BEEN
SUPPORTIVE OF LIKELY POPS AND I HAVE KEPT THE BAND OF LIKELIES
GOING FOR THE NEXT COUPLE OF HOURS. NONE OF THE STORMS HAVE BEEN
ESPECIALLY STRONG...THOUGH THEY HAVE LIKELY PRODUCED BRIEF HEAVY
DOWNPOURS. A DISTINCT OUTFLOW BOUNDARY IS NOW VISIBLE ON RADAR
IMAGERY SO THIS MAY SERVE AS A FORCING MECHANISM FOR ADDITIONAL
CONVECTION. TEMPERATURES WILL CONTINUE TO BOUNCE AROUND WITH LOCAL
COOLING IN AREAS AFFECTED BY THUNDERSTORMS...WHILE TEMPS RUN TO
AROUND 90 IN LOCATIONS UNAFFECTED.

TONIGHT...THE SHORTWAVE NOTED IN WATER VAPOR IMAGERY WILL CONTINUE
TO APPROACH FROM THE WEST AND ITS ASSOCIATED CHANNELED VORT MAX
WILL LIE VERY CLOSE TO THE REGION ALONG A SOUTHWEST TO NORTHEAST
AXIS. AT THE SURFACE THE WEAK AREA OF HIGH PRESSURE WILL DISSIPATE
AND BE REPLACED BY A TROUGH OF LOW PRESSURE. DEEP MOISTURE WILL
PERSIST ACROSS THE AREA...WITH PWATS UPWARDS OF 1.9 INCHES. THE
MODELS DO NOT SHOW MUCH IN THE WAY OF PRECIP...BUT GIVEN THE
AMBIENT MOISTURE...SURFACE TROUGH NEARBY...AND THE SHORTWAVE ALOFT
IT IS HARD TO GO WITH A DRY FORECAST. I HAVE KEPT THE SLIGHT
CHANCE POPS GOING AS SHOWERS/THUNDERSTORMS COULD DEVELOP JUST
ABOUT ANYWHERE THROUGH THE NIGHT. THERE WILL LIKELY BE AREAS THAT
EXPERIENCE PATCHY FOG...ESPECIALLY THOSE THAT WERE IMPACTED BY
THUNDERSTORMS IN THE AFTERNOON/EVENING...BUT I HAVE KEPT ANY FOG
MENTION OUT OF THE FORECAST AS IT WILL BE ISOLATED. LOWS WILL BE
MUCH LIKE PREVIOUS NIGHTS...IN THE LOW/MID 70S.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 AM SUNDAY MORNING THROUGH TUESDAY/...
DEEP TROUGHING LOOKS TO PERSIST THROUGH SUNDAY BEFORE THE UPPER
RIDGE STRENGTHENS OVER THE SOUTHEAST MONDAY AND ESPECIALLY
TUESDAY...ALTHOUGH THE LOW-LEVEL TROUGH SHOULD LINGER OVER OR JUST
WEST OF THE AREA.

A STRONG SHORTWAVE TROUGH APPROACHING THE AREA EARLY SUNDAY WILL
SHIFT OFFSHORE DURING THE AFTERNOON WITH SOME DRIER AIR AND NVA
MOVING IN AFTERWARD. FIRST THOUGHT WAS THAT RAIN CHANCES WILL BE
GREATEST IN THE MORNING BUT SOME MESOSCALE BOUNDARIES AND SUFFICIENT
INSTABILITY COULD LEAD TO ADDITIONAL SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS
DURING THE AFTERNOON. OVERALL...KEPT POPS NO HIGHER THAN 40 PERCENT
THROUGH THE DAY. A WEAKENING COLD FRONT SHOULD THEN STALL OUT JUST
WEST OF THE AREA EARLY MONDAY INTO TUESDAY WITH MORE TYPICAL RAIN
CHANCES EXPECTED WITH THE INLAND TROUGH/SEA BREEZE LIKELY TO BE THE
MAIN FOCII FOR CONVECTION.

TEMPERATURES SHOULD GENERALLY BE NEAR NORMAL THROUGH THE PERIOD.

&&

.LONG TERM /TUESDAY NIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY/...
WEDNESDAY THROUGH THURSDAY NIGHT LOOKS RATHER ACTIVE AS ANOTHER
POTENT UPPER TROUGH DROPS SOUTHEAST AND A COLD FRONT MOVES INTO THE
SC MIDLANDS. PRECIPITABLE WATER VALUES ARE PROGGED TO PUSH WELL
ABOVE 2 INCHES DURING THIS PERIOD SO PRETTY GOOD COVERAGE OF SHOWERS
AND TSTMS...SOME WITH HEAVY RAINFALL...IS EXPECTED. A ZONAL FLOW
FRIDAY INTO SATURDAY SHOULD DECREASE RAIN POTENTIAL.

&&

.AVIATION /19Z SATURDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/...
HAVE MAINTAINED PREVAILING VFR CONDITIONS THROUGH 18Z SUNDAY...BUT
SCATTERED CONVECTION COULD IMPACT THE TERMINALS THIS
AFTERNOON/EVENING...ESPECIALLY AT KSAV. WITH DEEPER MOISTURE IN PLACE
ACROSS GEORGIA...HAVE INCLUDED A MVFR TEMPO TO CAPTURE ANY DIRECT
IMPACTS FROM SHOWERS/THUNDERSTORMS. LESS COVERAGE IS EXPECTED ACROSS
THE CHARLESTON AREA...THUS WILL EXCLUDE ANY MENTION OF TS FOR NOW.
CONVECTION COULD LINGER INTO THE OVERNIGHT PERIOD AS SHORTWAVE
ENERGY SHIFTS ACROSS THE AREA. STILL...CONFIDENCE IN COVERAGE IS TOO
LOW TO INCLUDE MENTION OF TS AFTER SUNSET.

EARLY SUNDAY MORNING...THERE IS A POTENTIAL ONCE AGAIN FOR FLIGHT
RESTRICTIONS AS PATCHY FOG/LOW STRATUS COULD DEVELOP PRIOR TO
SUNRISE. STILL...THE PROBABILITY REMAINS TOO LOW FOR A MENTION WITH
18Z TAFS.

EXTENDED AVIATION OUTLOOK...PERIODIC RESTRICTIONS IN VISIBILITY AND
CEILING ARE EXPECTED...MAINLY DUE TO AFTERNOON/EVENING SHOWERS AND
TSTMS THROUGHOUT THE MIDDLE OF NEXT WEEK.

&&

.MARINE...
TONIGHT...EXPECT ANOTHER QUIET NIGHT. THE PRESSURE PATTERN WILL
REMAIN QUITE RELAXED AND DIFFUSE...THOUGH WINDS WILL GRADUALLY
TURN FROM SOUTHEASTERLY TO MORE SOUTHERLY AS A TROUGH DEVELOPS
INLAND. SPEEDS WILL BE 10 KTS OR LESS AND SEAS WILL GENERALLY BE 2
FT.

SUNDAY THROUGH THURSDAY...A WEAK TROUGH OF LOW PRESSURE TO
PERSIST OVER OR JUST INLAND THIS PERIOD WITH WINDS MOSTLY 10-15
KT...GENERALLY HIGHEST NEAR THE COAST EACH AFTERNOON/EVENING WITH
THE SEA BREEZE. SEAS WILL BE MAINLY 3 FT OR LESS...BUT INCREASING
TO 4 FT BEYOND 20 NM TOWARD THE MIDDLE OF NEXT WEEK.
