AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE CHARLESTON SC
138 PM EDT THU AUG 22 2013

.SYNOPSIS...
THE AREA WILL REMAIN ON THE WESTERN PERIPHERY OF AN ATLANTIC HIGH
PRESSURE THROUGH LATE WEEK. A WEAK COLD FRONT WILL PUSH THROUGH
THE AREA ON SATURDAY...FOLLOWED BY COOLER AND DRIER HIGH PRESSURE
THROUGH EARLY NEXT WEEK. ANOTHER WEAK COLD FRONT MAY APPROACH FROM
THE NORTH LATE NEXT WEEK.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...
A WEAK SHORTWAVE IS SHIFTING ACROSS THE MID-ATLANTIC
STATES...WHILE ATLANTIC HIGH PRESSURE DOMINATES THE WEATHER
PATTERN ACROSS MUCH OF SOUTHERN SOUTH CAROLINA AND SOUTHEAST
GEORGIA. VISIBLE SATELLITE SHOWS A DECENT CUMULUS FIELD DEVELOPING
ACROSS INLAND AREAS AS DEBRIS CLOUDS FROM MORNING SHOWERS DIMINISHES
ALONG THE COAST. ISOLATED SHOWERS HAVE STARTED TO DEVELOP IN AREAS
THAT HAVE RECEIVED MORE SUNSHINE...AND AS TEMPERATURES CONTINUE TO
RISE ALONG COASTAL AREAS...EXPECT ADDITIONAL DEVELOPMENT ALONG THE
SEA BREEZE. WITH A PREVAILING BUT LIGHT ONSHORE FLOW...THE SEA
BREEZE WILL PROPAGATE INLAND THROUGH THE AFTERNOON...INCREASING SHOWER
AND THUNDERSTORM COVERAGE ACROSS INTERIOR AREAS. THERE IS SOME
MODERATE SURFACE INSTABILITY...BUT THE OVERALL SEVERE POTENTIAL
CONTINUES TO LOOK LESS THAN IMPRESSIVE WITH DCAPES GENERALLY LESS
THAN 600 J/KG. HOWEVER...THE FLOODING POTENTIAL ONCE AGAIN APPEARS
TO BE THE MAIN HAZARD THROUGH THE AFTERNOON AS PWATS ARE BACK
AROUND 2 INCHES. THE WEAK MEAN STEERING FLOW ONLY HELPS TO EMPHASIZE
THIS POTENTIAL. IN ADDITION...WITH MANY AREAS ALREADY WELL
SATURATED...IT WILL NOT TAKE MUCH RAIN TO PRODUCE TEMPORARY FLASH
FLOODING. STILL...WITH OVERALL LIMITED CONVECTION COVERAGE...DO
NOT FEEL A FLASH FLOOD WATCH IS WARRANTED AT THIS TIME.
REGARDLESS...WILL MAINTAIN MENTION OF POTENTIAL FLOODING ISSUES IN
THE HAZARDOUS WEATHER OUTLOOK.

IN REGARDS TO TEMPERATURES...CONVECTION COULD EASILY AND
TEMPORARILY AFFECT TEMPERATURES TODAY...BUT OVERALL...HIGHS WILL
CLIMB TO NEAR 90 DEGREES THIS AFTERNOON.

TONIGHT...ANY LINGERING SHOWER/TSTM ACTIVITY WILL QUICKLY
DISSIPATE EARLY THIS EVENING. DEBRIS CLOUDINESS WILL THIN AND
EVENTUALLY YIELDING PARTLY CLOUDY TO MOSTLY CLEAR SKIES. LOWS WILL
RANGE FROM THE LOWER 70S INLAND TO THE MID-UPPER 70S AT THE COAST.

&&

.SHORT TERM /FRIDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/...
FRIDAY...A TYPICAL SUMMERTIME PATTERN IS EXPECTED THROUGH LATE WEEK
AS ATLANTIC HIGH PRESSURE PERSISTS OVER THE SOUTHEASTERN UNITED
STATES. LIGHT ONSHORE FLOW WILL SUPPORT A SLIGHT CHANCE TO CHANCE OF
SHOWERS AND/OR THUNDERSTORMS FRIDAY AFTERNOON ALONG AND AHEAD OF AN
INLAND MOVING SEABREEZE. EXPECT MOST ACTIVITY TO OCCUR OVER INLAND
LOCATIONS IN SOUTHEAST SOUTH CAROLINA WHERE DEEPEST MOISTURE RESIDES
ALONG THE WESTERN PERIPHERY OF THE RIDGE AND MID LVL FORCING BEGINS
TO INCREASE AS AN H5 SHORTWAVE ADVANCES OVER THE MID ATLANTIC
STATES. OVERALL TEMPS SHOULD BE SLIGHTLY WARMER THAN PREVIOUS DAYS
DUE TO A WEST NORTHWEST DOWNSLOPING WIND DEVELOPING OVER THE
MIDLANDS. EXPECT OVERALL HIGH TEMPS IN THE LOWER 90S. OVERNIGHT LOWS
SHOULD RANGE IN THE LOW 70S INLAND TO MID/UPPER 70S ALONG THE
COAST.

SATURDAY...A CHANGE IN THE PATTERN IS ANTICIPATED LATER THIS WEEKEND
AS ATLANTIC HIGH PRESSURE SLIDES TO THE SOUTH AND EAST WHILE A COLD
FRONT SHIFTS OVER THE MID ATLANTIC STATES AND EVENTUALLY ARRIVES
OVER NORTHERN SC ZONES SATURDAY. CLOUD COVER AND PRECIP WILL
LIKELY INCREASE OVER THE AREA WITH FROPA...HOWEVER DRY MID AND UPPER
LVL AIR WILL QUICKLY EXPAND OVER THE REGION BEHIND THE FRONT...THUS
LIMITING OVERALL COVERAGE AND DURATION OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS
BY SATURDAY EVENING. 30-40 POPS WILL REMAIN IN THE FORECAST AS THE
FRONT ADVANCES SOUTHEAST THROUGH SATURDAY EVENING. HIGH TEMPS SHOULD
PEAK IN THE MID 80S OVER SOUTHEAST SOUTH CAROLINA...WHERE FROPA
OCCURS FIRST. TEMPS WILL REMAIN SLIGHTLY WARMER IN SOUTHEAST GEORGIA
AHEAD OF THE FRONT...AROUND 90 DEGREES. OVERNIGHT LOWS WILL BE
NOTICEABLY COOLER AS THE FRONT BEGINS TO SHIFT OFFSHORE. EXPECT LOW
TEMPS TO BE IN THE UPPER 60S INLAND TO THE LOW/MID 70S ALONG THE
IMMEDIATE COAST.

SUNDAY....A WEAK COLD FRONT WILL ADVANCE SOUTH OF THE FORECAST AREA
AND OFFSHORE BY DAYBREAK. DRY HIGH PRESSURE WILL THEN BUILD OVER THE
AREA DURING THE DAY WITH COOLER THAN NORMAL TEMPS AS NORTHEAST FLOW
DEVELOPS AND PERSISTS TO START OFF NEXT WEEK. DESPITE DRY MID/UPPER
LVLS...A SLIGHT CHANCE OF SHOWERS AND/OR ISOLATED THUNDERSTORM WILL
REMAIN POSSIBLE WHERE SFC FLOW IS SLIGHTLY MORE ONSHORE IN SOUTHEAST
GEORGIA. OVERALL HIGH TEMPS WILL RANGE IN THE MID TO UPPER
80S...HIGHEST OVER LOCATIONS SOUTH OF INTERSTATE 16 IN SOUTHEAST
GEORGIA.

&&

.LONG TERM /SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
DRY HIGH PRESSURE WILL REMAIN THE DOMINANT WEATHER FEATURE OVER THE
SOUTHEASTERN UNITED STATES THROUGH THE MIDDLE OF NEXT WEEK. A SLIGHT
CHANCE OF SHOWERS AND/OR ISOLATED THUNDERSTORM WILL REMAIN POSSIBLE
MONDAY AFTERNOON WHERE SFC FLOW IS SLIGHTLY MORE ONSHORE IN
SOUTHEAST GEORGIA. A DRY FORECAST IS THEN EXPECTED MONDAY NIGHT
THROUGH EARLY THURSDAY AS SFC HIGH PRESSURE BECOMES CENTERED OVER
THE MIDLANDS. HIGH PRESSURE SHOULD THEN SLIDE SOUTH OF THE REGION AS
ANOTHER WEAK COLD FRONT APPROACHES FROM THE NORTH/NORTHWEST
THURSDAY. EXPECT OVERALL HIGH TEMPS TO RANGE IN THE MID TO UPPER 80S
MONDAY AND TUESDAY UNDER NORTHEAST FLOW...BEFORE GRADUALLY WARMING
INTO THE UPPER 80S TO AROUND 90 WEDNESDAY AND THURSDAY WHILE SFC WINDS
BECOME SOUTH/SOUTHWEST. OVERNIGHT LOW TEMPS SHOULD RANGE IN THE
UPPER 60S INLAND TO LOW/MID 70S ALONG THE IMMEDIATE COAST.

&&

.AVIATION /18Z THURSDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...
ISOLATED TO SCATTERED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ARE EXPECTED ALONG
THE SEA BREEZE THIS AFTERNOON AS PLENTY OF MOISTURE RESIDES ACROSS
THE AREA. HIGH RESOLUTION GUIDANCE CONTINUES TO INDICATE THAT
CONVECTION WILL DEVELOP NEAR BOTH TERMINALS...BUT OVERALL
CONVERGE SHOULD BE LIMITED. HAVE INCLUDED PREVAIL VCSH AT BOTH
SITES...WHILE INTRODUCING SHORT TSRA TEMPO GROUPS TO CAPTURE ANY
DIRECT IMPACTS FOR THUNDERSTORMS. EXPECT CONVECTION TO TRANSITION WEST OF BOTH
TERMINALS BY LATE THIS AFTERNOON...RESULTING IN PREVAIL VFR
CONDITIONS. THERE COULD BE SOME PATCHY FOG EARLY FRIDAY
MORNING...BUT EXPECT CIRRUS TO HINDER DEVELOPMENT AT THIS POINT.

EXTENDED AVIATION OUTLOOK...BRIEF MVFR CIGS/VSBYS ARE POSSIBLE
SATURDAY WITH A WEAK COLD FRONT ADVANCING SOUTHEAST OVER BOTH
TERMINALS.

&&

.MARINE...
TODAY...A LIGHT AND CHAOTIC WIND FIELD WILL REMAIN IN PLACE FOR
MUCH OF THE DAY WITH VARIABLE WINDS. WINDS SHOULD TURN A BIT MORE
ONSHORE IN RESPONSE TO THE SEA BREEZE MOVING INLAND...BUT MODELS
SUGGEST ANY ENHANCEMENT TO THE WIND FIELD WILL BE NEGLIGIBLE. SEAS
WILL RANGE 1-2 FT NEARSHORE WATERS...2-3 FT OFFSHORE WATERS AND
MAINLY COMPRISED OF SOUTHEAST SWELL.

TONIGHT...WINDS WILL BEGIN TO TURN MORE SOUTHERLY TONIGHT AS A
SECONDARY CELL OF HIGH PRESSURE SLIPS A BIT OFFSHORE. SPEEDS WILL
REMAIN LIGHT...LESS THAN 10 KT. LITTLE CHANGE IN SEAS IS EXPECTED.

FRIDAY THROUGH MONDAY...WINDS/SEAS ARE EXPECTED TO REMAIN WELL BELOW
SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY LEVELS THROUGH EARLY SATURDAY WITH HIGH
PRESSURE DOMINATING THE WATERS. IN GENERAL...SOUTH TO SOUTHEAST
WINDS WILL REMAIN AT OR BELOW 10 KTS...HIGHEST NEAR SEABREEZE
CIRCULATIONS ALONG THE COAST. SEAS WILL REMAIN AT OR BELOW 3
FT...HIGHEST OVER OUTER GEORGIA WATERS. SOUTH/SOUTHEAST WINDS WILL
THEN SHIFT TO NORTHEAST WITH COLD FROPA SATURDAY EVENING THROUGH
EARLY SUNDAY. WINDS/SEAS WILL LIKELY INCREASE/BUILD AS THE PRESSURE
GRADIENT BECOMES ENHANCED ALONG AND BEHIND THE SOUTHWARD MOVING COLD
FRONT. HOWEVER...CONDITIONS SHOULD REMAIN JUST BELOW SMALL CRAFT
ADVISORY THRESHOLDS SUNDAY AND MONDAY AS WINDS PEAK BETWEEN
15-20 KTS AND SEAS BUILD TO 4-5 FT...HIGHEST OVER WATERS BEYOND
20 NM FROM THE COAST. CONDITIONS SHOULD THEN IMPROVE AS HIGH
PRESSURE SETTLES OVER THE WATERS THROUGH MIDWEEK.

WATERSPOUTS...LIGHT WINDS...CONSIDERABLE MOISTURE AND ADEQUATE
INSTABILITY SUGGEST THAT WATERSPOUTS COULD BE POSSIBLE DURING THE
NEXT COUPLE OF MORNINGS...PROVIDED THERE ARE BOUNDARIES TO ASSIST
DEVELOPMENT.
