AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE CHARLESTON SC
359 PM EDT WED JUL 17 2013

.SYNOPSIS...
HIGH PRESSURE CENTERED NORTH OF THE AREA WILL WEAKEN AND
SHIFT OFFSHORE LATER THIS WEEK WHILE A TROUGH OF LOW PRESSURE
PERSISTS INLAND. A WEAKENING COLD FRONT WILL APPROACH FROM THE
NORTHWEST EARLY NEXT WEEK...LIKELY REMAINING NORTH AND WEST OF THE
AREA BUT STILL CLOSE ENOUGH TO YIELD HIGHER THAN NORMAL RAIN
CHANCES.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM THURSDAY MORNING/...
A BACKDOOR COLD FRONT WAS POSITIONED ACROSS NORTH-CENTRAL SOUTH
CAROLINA LATE THIS AFTERNOON AND WAS SLOWLY DROPPING SOUTHWARD.
AHEAD OF THE BOUNDARY...STRONG COMPRESSIONAL HEATING HAS PUSHED
TEMPERATURES WELL INTO THE LOWER AND MID 90S. THIS HAS MADE THE
ATMOSPHERE QUITE UNSTABLE...ESPECIALLY ACROSS SOUTHEAST SOUTH
CAROLINA WHERE LATE AFTERNOON MESOANALYSIS DEPICTS SBCAPE VALUES
AROUND 4500 J/KG AND LI/S DOWN TO -6 OR -7C. CONVECTION HAS BECOME
BETTER ORGANIZED ACROSS THE MIDLANDS...PEE DEE AND GRAND STRAND
LATE THIS AFTERNOON...AND STORMS SHOULD PROPAGATE SOUTHWARD WITH
THE ASSISTANCE OF OUTFLOW/COLD POOLING. ADDITIONAL CONVECTION
SHOULD BE ABLE TO INITIATE AS OUTFLOW BOUNDARIES INTERACT WITH
EACH OTHER AND THE SEA BREEZE. THERE IS THE POTENTIAL FOR SEVERE
WEATHER GIVEN THESE CONDITIONS...WITH DAMAGING WINDS AND LARGE
HAIL POSSIBLE. THE GREATEST SEVERE THREAT IS ACROSS INLAND
SOUTHEAST SOUTH CAROLINA THROUGH EARLY EVENING. IN ADDITION...ANY
THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE CAPABLE OF PRODUCING FREQUENT LIGHTNING AND
LOCALLY HEAVY RAINFALL.

LATER TONIGHT...DEEP LAYERED RIDGING WILL PREVAIL ACROSS THE OHIO
AND MIDDLE MISSISSIPPI VALLEYS WHILE AT THE SURFACE THE BACKDOOR
FRONT WILL BECOME DIFFUSE AS IT SHIFTS ACROSS THE AREA. HIGH
RESOLUTION MESOSCALE MODELS SHOW ISOLATED CONVECTION POSSIBLY
CONTINUING ACROSS INLAND AREAS...ESPECIALLY IN SOUTHEAST
GEORGIA...THROUGH LATE EVENING. THEN...CONVECTION SHOULD DISSIPATE
LEAVING RAIN-FREE CONDITIONS ARE CLEARING SKIES FOR THE OVERNIGHT
HOURS. LOWS WILL BE IN THE LOWER TO MID 70S.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 AM THURSDAY MORNING THROUGH SATURDAY/...
HIGH PRESSURE WILL CONTINUE TO SHIFT OFFSHORE THROUGH THE PERIOD AS
DEEP LOW PRESSURE SETS UP FROM THE GREAT LAKES SOUTHWARD INTO THE
GULF OF MEXICO. THE DEEPEST MOISTURE THURSDAY LOOKS TO BE ACROSS
SOUTH CAROLINA...ACROSS SOUTHEAST GEORGIA FRIDAY AND THEN ACROSS THE
ENTIRE AREA SATURDAY AS MOIST SOUTHWEST FLOW INCREASES AHEAD OF AN
APPROACHING COLD FRONT. IN GENERAL THE BEST RAIN CHANCES WILL BE
DURING THE AFTERNOON/EVENING DURING PEAK HEATING AND GREATEST
INFLUENCE OF THE SEA BREEZE.

TEMPERATURES SHOULD GENERALLY BE WITHIN A FEW DEGREES OF NORMAL
THROUGH THE PERIOD.

&&

.LONG TERM /SATURDAY NIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
HIGH PRESSURE WILL RETREAT OVER THE WESTERN ATLANTIC LATE THIS
WEEKEND AS A LARGE TROUGH OF LOW PRESSURE AND ASSOCIATED COLD FRONT
APPROACH THE AREA FROM THE NORTHWEST INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK. CHANCES
OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL LIKELY PEAK LATE SUNDAY THROUGH
TUESDAY AS THE COLD FRONT WEAKENS AND STALLS OVER OR NEAR THE AREA
EARLY NEXT WEEK. CHANCES OF PRECIP MAY CONTINUE INTO WEDNESDAY AS
WEAK WAVES OF LOW PRESSURE REDEVELOP NEAR THE STALLED FRONT. OVERALL
HIGH TEMPS SHOULD RANGE IN THE UPPER 80S TO LOWER 90S ON
SUNDAY...BEFORE COOLING A DEGREE OR TWO AS CLOUD COVER AND PRECIP
COVERAGE EXPAND OVER THE AREA MONDAY INTO WEDNESDAY. OVERNIGHT LOWS
SHOULD RANGE BETWEEN THE LOW 70S INLAND TO MID/UPPER 70S ALONG THE
COAST.

&&

.AVIATION /20Z WEDNESDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...
MAINLY VFR CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED TO PREVAIL THROUGH THE 18Z TAF
PERIOD AT KCHS AND KSAV. INCLUDED MENTION OF VCSH AT BOTH TERMINALS
AS ISOLATED TO SCATTERED SHOWERS/THUNDERSTORMS DEVELOP THROUGH THE
AFTERNOON. CHANCES DO LOOK SLIGHTLY BETTER AT KCHS FOR
DEVELOPMENT SO HAVE A TEMPO GROUP THERE THROUGH ABOUT 23Z.
REGARDLESS...CONVECTION SHOULD TRANSITION INLAND BY EARLY EVENING AS
THE SEA BREEZE PROPAGATES INLAND. OVERNIGHT...MODELS AGAIN HINT AT
SOME LOW STRATUS/PATCHY FOG BUT WILL MAINTAIN VFR CONDITIONS FOR
NOW DUE TO LOW CONFIDENCE THAT CONDITIONS WILL MATERIALIZE.

EXTENDED AVIATION OUTLOOK...VFR CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED TO PREVAIL
THROUGH LATE WEEK OUTSIDE MAINLY AFTERNOON/EVENING
ISOLATED/SCATTERED SHOWERS/THUNDERSTORMS. CHANCES OF MVFR CIGS/VSBYS
SHOULD INCREASE EARLY NEXT WEEK WITH THE APPROACH OF A WEAKENING
COLD FRONT FROM THE NORTHWEST.

&&

.MARINE...
TONIGHT...A SOUTH TO SOUTHWEST FLOW REGIME WILL BECOME
ESTABLISHED. WINDS LOOK TO REMAIN AROUND 10 KT OR LESS WITH SEAS 2-3
FT.

THURSDAY THROUGH MONDAY...ATLANTIC HIGH PRESSURE WILL PERSIST
OFFSHORE WITH INLAND LOW PRESSURE TROUGHING THROUGH THE PERIOD.
CONDITIONS MAY HIT ADVISORY CRITERIA THIS WEEKEND INTO EARLY NEXT
WEEK GIVEN THE ENHANCED PRESSURE GRADIENT. SEAS WILL BUILD BUT
SHOULD STAY 5 FT OR LESS GIVEN THE MOSTLY SOUTHWEST FLOW THIS
WEEKEND.

WATERSPOUTS...MAY SEE AN ENHANCED RISK THURSDAY MORNING GIVEN THE
LIGHT WIND FIELDS...MOIST ATMOSPHERE AND POSSIBLE LAND BREEZE
CONVERGENCE LINE.

&&

.TIDES/COASTAL FLOODING...
TIDE LEVELS WILL BE RUNNING HIGH THIS
WEEKEND AND EARLY NEXT WEEK GIVEN THE UPCOMING FULL MOON AND LUNAR
PERIGEE. HOWEVER...SOUTHWEST WINDS AHEAD OF A COLD FRONT SHOULD HELP
KEEP DEPARTURES MINIMAL AND THUS THE THREAT FOR SHALLOW COASTAL
FLOODING AS WELL.
