AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE CHARLESTON SC
1054 AM EDT MON JUN 3 2013

.SYNOPSIS...
A COLD FRONT WILL SLOWLY ADVANCE INTO THE AREA TODAY AND
TONIGHT...BECOMING STATIONARY NEARBY THROUGH MID WEEK. LOW
PRESSURE FROM THE GULF OF MEXICO COULD PASS NEAR THE REGION
FRIDAY. THE FORECAST AREA WILL THEN RESIDE ALONG THE EDGE OF
ATLANTIC HIGH PRESSURE THIS WEEKEND...WITH A LEE SIDE TROUGH
DEVELOPING INLAND.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 PM THIS EVENING/...
THE MORNING UPPER AIR SOUNDING FROM CHARLESTON DEPICTS THE NOTABLE
CHANGE IN AIR MASS TODAY...WITH HIGHER MOISTURE LEVELS IN THE
PROFILE AND PRECIPITABLE WATER VALUES UP TO NEARLY 2 INCHES.
CONVECTION HAS INITIATED FAIRLY EARLY WITHIN BOTH MODERATE
INSTABILITY AND IMPROVED ACCESS TO DEEPER LAYER MOISTURE...AS
PERSISTENT SHOWERS/THUNDERSTORMS TRACK EAST OF INTERSTATE 95 IN
THE SOUTH CAROLINA ZONES. A SHORTWAVE TROUGH APPROACHING CENTRAL
GEORGIA AND THE UPSTATE SOUTH CAROLINA REGION...WHEN COMBINED WITH
CONVERGENCE FROM A CURRENTLY DIFFUSE AND CO-LOCATED SURFACE
FRONT...WILL SUPPORT HIGHER CHANCES FOR SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS
THIS AFTERNOON/EVENING COMPARED TO PREVIOUS DAYS.

DESPITE FAIRLY HIGH CONFIDENCE THAT MOST LOCATIONS IN THE FORECAST
AREA WILL EVENTUALLY RECEIVE MEASURABLE RAINFALL...UNCERTAINTY
REMAINS REGARDING DETAILS IN TIMING AND COVERAGE. FOLLOWING MID
MORNING TRENDS...THERE COULD BE A LULL IN THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY
SOUTH OF THE CHARLESTON TRI COUNTY REGION FOR AT LEAST ANOTHER
HOUR OR TWO. THERE IS SOME DISAGREEMENT BETWEEN THE 12Z NAM AND
12Z LOCAL WRF SOLUTIONS IN DEPICTING THE SPREAD OF CONVECTION BY
THE AFTERNOON HOURS...WITH THE LOCAL WRF SOMEWHAT CONSERVATIVE IN
COVERAGE LATER TODAY. AT THIS POINT...WILL MAKE SOME MINOR
ADJUSTMENTS TO THE POP SCHEME FOR THE NEXT FEW HOURS...YET STILL
MAINTAIN RELATIVE PERSISTENCE WITH THE PREVIOUS FORECAST FOR MID
TO LATE AFTERNOON. WILL CONTINUE TO MENTION RAIN CHANCES
INCREASING UP TO NEARLY 70 PERCENT MOST LOCATIONS LATER TODAY.

DECENT STEERING FLOW UP TO 20 TO 25 KT WILL KEEP STORMS PROPAGATING
FAIRLY WELL...HOWEVER POTENTIAL FOR TRAINING THUNDERSTORM DEVELOPMENT
WITHIN A HIGH MOISTURE ENVIRONMENT SUGGESTS A RISK FOR HEAVY
DOWNPOURS AND LOCALIZED FLOODING. OVERALL...THE SEVERE WEATHER
POTENTIAL LOOKS LOW CONSIDERING UNIMPRESSIVE LAPSE RATES AND ONLY
MARGINAL SHEAR PROFILES. HOWEVER...DOWNDRAFT CAPE VALUES ARE STILL
QUITE HIGH...A RESULT OF LINGERING DRY AIR IN THE MID LEVELS. THUS
ANY THUNDERSTORMS THAT BECOME LOCALLY ENHANCED...ESPECIALLY WITHIN
BOUNDARY INTERACTIONS...COULD PRODUCE STRONG AND GUSTY WINDS.
CANNOT RULE OUT AN ISOLATED THUNDERSTORM PRODUCING DAMAGING WINDS
WITHIN A WET MICROBURST...YET POTENTIAL REMAINS TOO LOW TO MENTION
IN THE HAZARDOUS WEATHER OUTLOOK.

HOURLY TEMPERATURES LOOK ON TRACK AND WILL MAINTAIN ONGOING
FORECAST HIGH TEMPERATURES IN THE MID TO UPPER 80S.
HOWEVER...TEMPERATURE TRENDS COULD BE IMPACTED WITHIN HEAVY RAIN
AS WELL AS WHERE BRIEF BREAKS IN CLOUD COVER OCCUR.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 PM THIS EVENING THROUGH THURSDAY/...
TONIGHT...EXPECT MUCH OF THE ACTIVITY TO BE ENDING EARLY IN THE
PERIOD...AS THE ATMOSPHERE BECOMES WORKED OVER BY THE LATE
MORNING/EARLY AFTERNOON CONVECTION. THE TROUGH AND ANY ASSOCIATED
ENERGY ALOFT WILL ALSO BE WANING AS THESE FEATURES SHIFT OFFSHORE.
HAVE INDICATED A DRY FORECAST FOR A PERIOD TONIGHT...BEFORE
RAMPING POPS BACK UP TO SLIGHT CHANCE TO CHANCE LATE. THE MAIN
AREAS THAT COULD SEE NOCTURNAL PRECIPITATION ARE COASTAL
LOCATIONS IN SOUTH CAROLINA...THE CHARLESTON COUNTY COAST AND THE
ADJACENT COASTAL WATERS. WEAK CONVERGENCE WITHIN THE RESIDUAL
BOUNDARY WILL BE THE MAIN FEATURE SUPPORTING FOR THESE LATE NIGHT
SHOWERS. TEMPERATURES WILL BE MILD...WITH LOW 70S IN MOST AREAS
AND SOME UPPER 60S POSSIBLE FAR INLAND.

TUESDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY...IN WAKE OF THE SHORT WAVE EARLY
TUESDAY A LOW AMPLITUDE PATTERN DEVELOPS ALOFT. THE COLD FRONT
WILL STALL OUT NEAR THE COAST AND TRANSITIONS INTO A STATIONARY
FRONT THAT HANGS NEARBY THROUGH THE MIDDLE OF THE WEEK...WHILE
HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS TO THE NORTH. THIS STATIONARY FRONT ALONG
WITH THE SEA BREEZE BOUNDARY WILL BE THE MAIN INSTIGATORS FOR
DEVELOPING MOSTLY DIURNAL CONVECTION. MEANWHILE...OUR ATTENTION IS
ALSO FOCUSED ON THE GULF OF MEXICO AND WHAT BECOMES OF A POTENTIAL
TROPICAL SYSTEM DEVELOPING IN THE GULF OF MEXICO.

THERE IS LITTLE CHANGE IN THE AIR MASS FROM TODAY THROUGH THE MIDDLE
OF THE WEEK...ALTHOUGH THE SYNOPTIC FLOW DOES BECOME MORE EASTERLY.
THIS WILL PUMP IN A DECENT AMOUNT OF MOISTURE WITH PWATS OF 1.5 TO
PERHAPS AS MUCH AS 2.0 INCHES TO OCCUR. CONVECTIVE TEMPS ARE IN THE
LOWER 80S...SUGGESTING AN INITIATION OF CONVECTION EACH DAY AROUND
15-17Z. THERMODYNAMICS ARE NOT OVERLY IMPRESSIVE...AND LAPSE RATES
ARE ONLY MARGINALLY FAVORABLE. HOWEVER...WHERE BOUNDARY INTERACTIONS
ARE ABLE TO OCCUR WE COULD CERTAINLY EXPERIENCE SOME ISOLATED STRONG
STORMS. WITH A SLOW STORM MOTION OF NO MORE THAN 10 KT...AND GIVEN
AMPLE MOISTURE IN PLACE...LOCALLY HEAVY RAINFALL IS LIKELY. WE/LL
CAP PROBABILITIES OF SHOWERS AND T-STORMS AT 30-40 PERCENT /HIGHEST
INLAND/ DURING THE DAYLIGHT HOURS...THEN 20-30 PERCENT AT NIGHT
/HIGHEST COASTAL SE GA/ WITH COASTAL CONVERGENCE TO GENERATE SOME
ACTIVITY DURING THE OVERNIGHT PERIODS. DAYTIME MAXIMUM TEMPS WILL BE
ABOUT WHERE THEY SHOULD BE FOR EARLY JUNE...WHILE NIGHT TIME
MINIMUMS WILL BE A BIT ABOVE SEASONAL NORMS.

THURSDAY...THE LARGE SCALE PATTERN STARTS TO TRANSITION TO A MORE
AMPLIFIED PATTERN...WITH SUB-TROPICAL RIDGING EAST OF THE BAHAMAS
AND ACROSS OLD MEXICO. IN BETWEEN THERE IS MORE TROUGHINESS THAT
FORMS AND ACTS TO PICK UP THE TROPICAL SYSTEM IN THE GULF OF MEXICO
AND TURNS IT TOWARD THE STATE OF FLORIDA. WE/RE UNCERTAIN AS TO WHAT
THE SYSTEM WILL LOOK LIKE DURING THIS TIME...BUT IT IS STILL FAR
ENOUGH REMOVED FROM THE LOCAL AREA THAT ARE SENSIBLE WEATHER WILL BE
DRIVEN BY THE CONTINUED PROXIMITY TO THE STATIONARY FRONT AND THE
SEA BREEZE...WITH CHANCE POPS AREA WIDE. LITTLE CHANGE IN TEMPS.

&&

.LONG TERM /THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY/...
THURSDAY NIGHT AND FRIDAY...CONFIDENCE IS LOW TO MAYBE MODERATE AT
BEST DURING THIS TIME...AS THERE IS A LOT OF UNCERTAINTY IN REGARDS
TO A TROPICAL OR SUB-TROPICAL LOW POSSIBLY IMPACTING THE LOCAL
ZONES.

ANY SYSTEM FROM NEAR THE STATE OF FLORIDA THURSDAY NIGHT WILL BE
TRACKING PRETTY STEADILY NE AS IT PASSES OVER OR NEARBY THE LOCAL
AREA ON FRIDAY. THERE IS STILL MUCH UNCERTAINTY AS TO WHAT TYPE OF
SYSTEM IT WILL BE AT THAT TIME...AND WHERE ITS EVENTUAL PATH WILL
OCCUR. HOWEVER...IT DOES BECOME ABSORBED WITHIN A DEEPER WEST AND SW
FLOW...SO IT WILL BE MOVING AT A FAIRLY QUICK PACE WHICH WOULD HELP
IN MITIGATING ITS AFFECTS AND THE ASSOCIATED TIME FRAME THAT ANY
INCLEMENT WEATHER WILL OCCUR. OF COURSE THIS COULD CHANGE PENDING
ITS FUTURE EVOLUTION. ANY SPECIFICS WILL NEED TO BE HASHED OUT AS WE
OUR FORECAST ARRIVES LATE IN THE WEEK...SO FOR NOW WILL SHOW NO MORE
THAN CHANCE POPS.

SATURDAY AND SUNDAY...PROVIDED THAT THE SYSTEM IS GONE BY THIS
TIME...WE PRESENTLY ARE EXPECTING HIGH PRESSURE FROM THE ATLANTIC TO
PROGRESS WESTWARD...WITH ITS FAR NW PERIPHERY TO BUILD TOWARD THE SE
COAST. AT THE SAME TIME A PIEDMONT AND LEE-SIDE TROUGH WILL FORM
INLAND. DIURNALLY DRIVEN CONVECTION IS ANTICIPATED...MAINLY IN THE
CHANCE RANGE.

OUR TEMP FORECAST FOR FRIDAY HAS A LARGE POTENTIAL FOR NOT VERIFYING
DEPENDING ON THE IMPACTS FROM ANY LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM. FOR NOW WE
ARE SHOWING NEAR OR SLIGHTLY ABOVE NORMAL TEMPS THROUGH THE LONG
TERM PERIODS...WITH EVEN AN OUTSIDE CHANCE OF OUR FIRST 90 DEGREE
DAY THIS YEAR AT KSAV AND KCHS.

&&

.AVIATION /14Z MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/...
KCHS IS RECEIVING IMPACTS FROM A STRONG THUNDERSTORM BY MID
MORNING...WHILE AREAS TO THE SOUTH AROUND KSAV WILL LIKELY REMAIN
DRY FOR ANOTHER FEW HOURS. EITHER WAY...EXPECT BOTH TERMINALS TO
EXPERIENCE IMPACTS FROM TSRA THROUGH THE AFTERNOON WITHIN AN
EXTREMELY MOIST AND MODESTLY UNSTABLE ENVIRONMENT IN ADVANCE OF A
COLD FRONT. THIS WILL RESULT IN PERIODS OF FLIGHT RESTRICTIONS
WITH POTENTIAL HEAVY RAINS AT TIMES THROUGH LATE AFTERNOON...BEFORE
ACTIVITY DIMINISHES AS NOCTURNAL STABILIZATION TAKES HOLD.
DEPENDING UPON HOW MUCH RAINFALL OCCURS...CONSIDERABLE MOISTURE
TRAPPED BENEATH THE INVERSION WITHIN A LIGHT WIND REGIME WILL LEAD
TO POSSIBLE MVFR OR LOWER CONDITIONS LATE IN THE TAF CYCLE.

EXTENDED AVIATION...ALTHOUGH PERIODIC FLIGHT RESTRICTIONS MAY
OCCUR WITH MAINLY DIURNAL CONVECTION AND/OR LATE NIGHT AND EARLY
MORNING FOG/STRATUS THROUGH THURSDAY...MAINLY VFR WEATHER WILL
PREVAIL. LARGE UNCERTAINTIES SURROUND THE FORECAST FOR
FRIDAY...PENDING WHAT TRANSPIRES WITH ANY AREA OF LOW PRESSURE
THAT MAY BE FOUND PASSING NEARBY.

&&

.MARINE...
TODAY AND TONIGHT...WINDS WILL PRIMARILY BE SOUTHERLY AROUND 10
KT AHEAD OF A WEAK INLAND FRONT. AS THE FRONT DRIFTS INTO THE
LOCAL WATERS OVERNIGHT...WINDS COULD BECOME WEAK AND ERRATIC
BEFORE VEERING MORE WESTERLY. SEAS WILL REMAIN A BIT ELEVATED TODAY
DUE TO PERSISTENT SWELL ENERGY...WHICH WILL DECREASE INTO THE
OVERNIGHT PERIOD. IN GENERAL...SEAS WILL BE 2 TO 4 FT WITHIN 20 NM
AND 4 TO 5 FT BEYOND.

TUESDAY...THE APPROACHING COLD FRONT FROM THE NW WILL BECOME
STATIONARY OVER OR NEAR THE COASTAL WATERS. LIGHT OFFSHORE WINDS IN
THE MORNING WILL BECOME ONSHORE IN THE AFTERNOON...MAINLY DRIVEN BY
SEA BREEZE CIRCULATION. WINDS WILL BE NO HIGHER THAN ABOUT 10 KT
WITH SEAS NO MORE THAN 2-3 FEET.

TUESDAY NIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY...THE PRESSURE PATTERN WILL BE
FAIRLY NEBULOUS WITH THE STATIONARY FRONT TO PERSIST NEARBY...WHILE
HIGH PRESSURE IS FOUND TO THE NORTH.

THURSDAY...LOW PRESSURE WILL BE IN THE GULF TO THE WEST OF CENTRAL
FLORIDA...WHILE HIGH PRESSURE WILL BE COVERING MOST OF THE WESTERN
ATLANTIC. WINDS AND SEAS WILL BE ON AN INCREASE DUE TO A STRONGER
PRESSURE GRADIENT BETWEEN THESE TWO FEATURES...BUT PROBABLY BELOW
ANY SCA CONDITIONS.

FRIDAY...OUR LATEST FORECAST SHOWS SOME SORT OF LOW
PRESSURE...POSSIBLY TROPICAL IN NATURE PASSING NEARBY AS IT MOVES TO
THE NE ...AND HEADLINES MIGHT BE REQUIRED AT A LATER TIME.

SATURDAY...ATLANTIC HIGH PRESSURE WILL FILL IN THE VOID BEHIND THE
DEPARTING LOW THAT IS FOUND IN THE NW ATLANTIC. NO MARINE CONCERNS
IN REGARDS TO WINDS/SEAS ARE EXPECTED.
