AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE CHARLESTON SC
353 PM EDT FRI AUG 16 2013

.SYNOPSIS...
A NEARLY STATIONARY FRONT WILL LINGER OVER THE AREA THROUGH THE
WEEKEND. AN ACTIVE PATTERN WILL PERSIST WITH SEVERAL ROUNDS OF
HEAVY RAIN LIKELY. THE FRONT WILL EVENTUALLY DISSIPATE EARLY NEXT
WEEK...WITH HIGH PRESSURE BUILDING INTO THE REGION THEREAFTER.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM SATURDAY MORNING/...
THE WEDGE BOUNDARY HAS ERODED SOMEWHAT ON THE EASTERN AND SOUTHERN
FLANKS AS WE HAVE SEEN WINDS GO EAST AND SOUTH ALONG THE SC COAST
AND ACROSS MUCH OF SOUTHEAST GA. INLAND SC REMAINS ENTRENCHED IN
THE COOL WEDGE WITH TEMPS HOVERING IN THE LOWER 70S. ELSEWHERE
TEMPS ARE IN THE LOWER/MIDDLE 80S WITH DEWPOINTS NOW IN THE
MID/UPPER 70S. MOST AREAS HAVE BEEN DRY SO FAR TODAY SIMPLY DUE TO
THE LACK OF SYNOPTIC SCALE FORCING.

HOWEVER...THAT IS SOON TO CHANGE. THE LONGWAVE UPPER TROUGH WILL
CONTINUE TO DIG SOUTH INTO THE CENTRAL GULF COAST...BACKING THE
UPPER FLOW AND EJECTING NUMEROUS SHORTWAVE TROUGHS INTO GA/SC. THE
POSITION OF THE UPPER JET STREAK WILL FAVOR INCREASING RIGHT-
ENTRANCE REGION DIVERGENCE OVERHEAD THIS EVENING AND OVERNIGHT.
PWATS ARE CURRENTLY RUNNING 2.1-2.2 INCHES AND MAY INCREASE A BIT
MORE OVERNIGHT. WE CAN SEE ON UPSTREAM RADAR THE APPROACHING
SYNOPTIC FORCING TRIGGERING RATHER WIDESPREAD SHOWERS AND TSTMS
ACROSS SOUTHERN GA. THIS IS ALL DESTINED FOR OUR FORECAST AREA
THIS EVENING THROUGH THE OVERNIGHT HOURS.

THERE IS A MARGINAL SEVERE WX RISK ACROSS OUR FAR SOUTHERN GA
ZONES DUE TO DECENT INSOLATION THIS AFTERNOON PUSHING SFC BASED
CAPES ABOVE 2500 J/KG. HOWEVER THE LACK OF DRY AIR ALOFT WILL
LIMIT THE DAMAGING WIND POTENTIAL SO WE ARE NOT HIGHLIGHTING
SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS IN OUR HAZARDOUS WX OUTLOOK.

THE HEAVY RAINFALL IS THE MAIN CONCERN AS WE HAVE BEEN PREVIOUSLY
ADVERTISING. THE FLASH FLOOD WATCH CONTINUES FOR ALL AREAS
THROUGH 8PM SATURDAY. OF SPECIAL CONCERN ARE COASTAL URBAN AREAS
AROUND THE TIMES OF HIGH TIDE SINCE THE NE WINDS ARE PUSHING TIDE
LEVELS HIGHER THAN PREDICTIONS. HEAVY RAINFALL ON TOP OF THESE
TIDES WOULD CAUSE SIGNIFICANT FLASH FLOODING IN PLACES LIKE
CHARLESTON AND SAVANNAH. WE WILL PROBABLY SEE FAIRLY WIDESPREAD
2-3 INCH TOTALS OVERNIGHT WITH SOME LOCALIZED HIGHER TOTALS.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 AM SATURDAY MORNING THROUGH MONDAY/...
SATURDAY...THE FORECAST AREA WILL REMAIN SITUATED BETWEEN A LARGE
UPPER TROUGH TO THE WEST AND RIDGING OVER THE CENTRAL ATLANTIC. THE
SURFACE PATTERN WILL BE TRANSITIONING THROUGH THE DAY...AS A WAVE
OF LOW PRESSURE DEVELOPS ALONG A LINGERING COASTAL FRONT/COASTAL
TROUGH AND SHIFTS NORTHWARD OVERNIGHT. SHORTWAVE ENERGY WILL
CONTINUE TO TRACK INTO THE REGION WITHIN THE SOLID SOUTHERLY FLOW
BETWEEN THE TWO UPPER LEVEL FEATURES...ADVECTING STEADY AMOUNTS OF
DEEP TROPICAL MOISTURE FROM THE GULF OF MEXICO. THE SURFACE WAVE
AND MEANDERING FRONT WILL ALSO PROVIDE A FOCUS FOR CONVECTIVE
DEVELOPMENT...AND WHEN COMBINED WITH THE UPPER LEVEL
SUPPORT...EXPECT ANOTHER POTENTIALLY ACTIVE AND WET DAY.

FAVORED AREAS AND EXACT TIMING OF HEAVIEST RAINFALL IS DIFFICULT
TO DETERMINE...ESPECIALLY WITH COVERAGE BEING DRIVEN BY THE
VARIABLE LOCATIONS OF THE WAVERING FRONT AND SERIES OF SHORTWAVES.
COMPUTER MODELS SEEM TO AGREE THAT THE MAIN AXIS OF VORT ENERGY
WILL BE ACROSS INLAND ZONES...AND HAVE THUS INDICATED HIGHEST RAIN
CHANCES FOR THE WESTERN HALF OF THE FORECAST AREA.
SHOWER/THUNDERSTORM POTENTIAL WILL STILL BE QUITE HIGH FOR THE
ENTIRE AREA...AND WILL CONTINUE TO ADVERTISE POPS PEAKING IN THE
70 PERCENT RANGE DURING THE AFTERNOON HOURS. AS THE SURFACE WAVE
LIFTS NORTH AND DAMPENS THE COASTAL TROUGH OVERNIGHT...AT THE SAME
TIME THAT NEGATIVE VORT ADVECTION ON THE PERIPHERY OF THE ATLANTIC
RIDGE PUSHES TOWARD THE COASTLINE...EXPECT RAIN CHANCES TO
DECREASE FROM EAST TO WEST INTO THE 40 PERCENT RANGE. THE SEVERE
WEATHER THREAT APPEARS LOW AGAIN ON SATURDAY...WITH THICK CLOUD
COVER AND PERIODIC HEAVY RAIN LIMITING DESTABILIZATION.
HOWEVER...WILL NEED TO MONITOR AREAS ALONG THE LINGERING
FRONT...AS WELL AS LOCATIONS WHERE CLEARING OCCURS...FOR ISOLATED
ORGANIZATION OF STRONGER THUNDERSTORMS. THE MAIN HAZARD WILL STILL
BE HEAVY DOWNPOURS AND LOCALIZED FLOODING.

TEMPERATURES WILL ONCE AGAIN BE SUPPRESSED WELL BELOW SEASONAL
NORMALS...PEAKING ONLY IN THE LOW TO MID 80S DURING THE AFTERNOON
AND FALLING INTO THE UPPER 60S TO LOWER 70S OVERNIGHT.

SUNDAY...THE UPPER TROUGH OVER THE MID MISSISSIPPI AND TENNESSEE
VALLEYS WILL WEAKEN AND LIFT NORTHWARD AS THE DAY
PROGRESSES...ALLOWING THE ATLANTIC RIDGE TO MAKE FURTHER PROGRESS
INTO THE SOUTHEAST COASTLINE. COMPUTER MODELS SHOW THE RIBBON OF
NEGATIVE VORTICITY ADVECTION SHIFTER DEEPER INTO THE FORECAST AREA
ALONG THE PERIPHERY OF THE RIDGE...ADDING SOME UNCERTAINTY TO
PRECIPITATION COVERAGE FOR SUNDAY. HAVE INDICATED RAIN CHANCES IN
THE 40 PERCENT RANGE...TRENDING NOTABLY LOWER THAN PREVIOUS
DAYS...WHILE HIGHLIGHTING INLAND AREAS CLOSEST TO THE MORE ROBUST
ENERGY TO THE WEST. JUST A SUBTLE SHIFT IN THE STRENGTH OF THE
RIDGE OR THE MEANDERING SURFACE FRONT COULD CREATE A MUCH
DIFFERENT PRECIPITATION SCENARIO...SO SUBSEQUENT FORECAST
ISSUANCES WILL DEFINITELY NEED TO TAKE INTO ACCOUNT COMPUTER MODEL
CONSISTENCY AND ACTUAL TRENDS. RISING HEIGHTS ALOFT...POTENTIALLY
LESS RAIN COVERAGE AND THE BREAKDOWN OF THE INLAND WEDGE SCENARIO
WILL SUPPORT A SLIGHT WARMING TREND. EXPECT HIGH TEMPERATURES TO
RISE INTO THE MID TO UPPER 80S...STILL SEVERAL DEGREES BELOW
SEASONAL NORMALS.

MONDAY...THE OVERALL PATTERN WILL CONTINUE TO DAMPEN INTO EARLY
NEXT WEEK...AND ALTHOUGH REMNANTS OF THE STATIONARY FRONT WILL
STILL LINGER IN THE VICINITY...HIGH PRESSURE AT THE SURFACE AND
ALOFT WILL GRADUALLY BECOME MORE DOMINANT FEATURES. SCATTERED
SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS REMAIN IN THE FORECAST...YET WILL
INDICATE MORE SEASONAL CHANCES IN THE 30 TO 40 PERCENT
RANGE...HIGHEST AWAY FROM THE IMMEDIATE COASTLINE. TEMPERATURES
WILL ALSO BE ON A WARMING TREND...PEAKING IN THE UPPER 80S INLAND.
HAVE INDICATED BETTER POTENTIAL FOR THUNDER COMPARED TO PREVIOUS
DAYS...AS WARMER CONDITIONS AND LESS CLOUD COVER SHOULD SUPPORT
HIGHER INSTABILITY.

&&

.LONG TERM /MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY/...
A MID LVL TROUGH TO OUR WEST WILL BEGIN TO LIFT NORTH AND WEAKEN
EARLY NEXT WEEK AS AN ATLANTIC RIDGE BEGINS TO BUILD IN FROM THE EAST.
UNCERTAINTY REMAINS IN THE OVERALL FORECAST THROUGH MUCH OF THE WEEK
AS MODELS CONTINUE TO STRUGGLE WITH THE LARGE SCALE PATTERN.
REGARDLESS...THE PREFERRED SURFACE PATTERN CONTINUES TO FEATURE A
LARGE AND DIFFUSE AREA OF HIGH PRESSURE ACROSS THE SOUTHEAST AND MID
ATLANTIC. THIS SHOULD RESULT IN CLIMATOLOGICALLY NORMAL CONDITIONS
WITH MAINLY DIURNALLY FOCUSED RAIN CHANCES AND HIGH TEMPS NEAR 90
AND LOW TEMPS IN THE LOW TO MID 70S.

&&

.AVIATION /19Z FRIDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
MVFR OR LOWER CEILINGS ARE EXPECTED TO PREVAIL THROUGH THE 18Z TAF
CYCLE AS AN ATYPICAL COOL WEDGE PATTERN REMAINS ANCHORED ACROSS THE
AREA. EXPECT SCATTERED TO NUMEROUS SHOWERS/THUNDERSTORMS BY LATE
THIS AFTERNOON...WHICH COULD PERIODICALLY IMPACT BOTH KCHS AND KSAV
WITH REDUCED VISIBILITIES. OVERNIGHT...CONVECTION COULD EASILY
LINGER...AND WITH DEEP MOISTURE STILL IN PLACE...CEILINGS ARE
EXPECTED TO ONCE AGAIN LOWER TO IFR LEVELS. VERY LITTLE IMPROVEMENT
IS EXPECTED SATURDAY AFTERNOON AS THE PATTERN REMAINS NEARLY
UNCHANGED.

EXTENDED AVIATION OUTLOOK...THERE IS A HIGH CHANCE OF MVFR OR
LOWER CIGS/VSBYS THROUGH SUNDAY DUE TO A STALLED FRONT IN THE
VICINITY. OCCASIONAL SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL ALSO
OCCUR...WITH HEAVY RAIN AND GUSTY WINDS POSSIBLE AT TIMES.
CONDITIONS WILL BEGIN TO IMPROVE MONDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY AS THE
STALLED FRONT DISSIPATES.

&&

.MARINE...
WINDS/SEAS WILL CONTINUE TO FLUCTUATE THROUGH TONIGHT AS THE FRONT
WAVERS OVER THE WATERS. THE MAIN CONCERN WILL BE THE DEVELOPMENT
OF HEAVY SHOWERS AND TSTMS OVERNIGHT...FURTHER ADDING TO THE
VARIABILITY IN WINDS/SEAS.

SATURDAY THROUGH TUESDAY...WINDS AND SEAS WILL REMAIN WELL BELOW
SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY THRESHOLDS THROUGH THE WEEKEND AND INTO LATE
NEXT WEEK. IN GENERAL...LIGHT NORTHEAST WINDS WILL VEER TO
SOUTH/SOUTHEAST AS A COASTAL TROUGH SHIFTS NORTHEAST ALONG THE
COAST SUNDAY INTO MONDAY. WINDS WILL THEN REMAIN AT OR BELOW 10
KT...WITH SEAS MAINLY 3 FT OR LESS...AS ATLANTIC HIGH PRESSURE
BECOMES THE DOMINANT FEATURE OVER THE WATERS THROUGH MID WEEK.
