AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE CHARLESTON SC
118 PM EDT TUE JUN 18 2013

.SYNOPSIS...
A COLD FRONT WILL APPROACH FROM THE NORTHWEST TODAY...THEN SLOWLY
PROGRESS THROUGH THE AREA WEDNESDAY AND THURSDAY. HIGH PRESSURE
WILL THEN BUILD FROM THE NORTH INTO THE WEEKEND AND SETTLE OVER
THE ATLANTIC EARLY NEXT WEEK.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 PM THIS EVENING/...
NVA IN WAKE OF THE EARLY MORNING CONVECTION HAS BEEN REPLACED BY
INCREASING PVA THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING...AS A DECENT SHORT WAVE
CROSSING THE SOUTHERN APPALACHIANS SWEEPS THROUGH. WITH VARIOUS
OUTFLOWS BOUNDARIES FROM CONVECTION UPSTREAM...DIFFERENTIAL
HEATING BOUNDARIES FROM CLOUD COVER AND LAKE BREEZES AND THE
RESULTANT SEA BREEZE...COVERAGE WILL BECOME ENHANCED FOR THE MID
AND LATE AFTERNOON. THIS OCCURS IN SYNC WITH THE MID LEVEL
IMPULSE...AIDED FURTHER BY THE CLOSE PROXIMITY TO A COUPLED UPPER
JET STRUCTURE IN EASTERN TN AND WESTERN NC TO PROVIDE ADDITIONAL
FORCING FOR ASCENT. WE CONTINUE WITH THE LIKELY POPS...AND HAVE
MAINTAINED A VERY SHARP GRADIENT FROM 20-30 POPS FROM MCINTOSH
COUNTY TO 60-70 POPS MOST ELSEWHERE.

PWATS WILL BE AS HIGH AS 1.8 TO 2.0 INCHES...SUPPORTIVE OF LOCALLY
HEAVY RAINFALL IN POTENTIAL TRAINING OF STORMS. ADDITIONALLY...THE
SEVERE RISK LOOKS TO BE THERE GIVEN THE UPPER AIR SUPPORT AND
NUMEROUS MESO-SCALE BOUNDARY INTERACTIONS TO ENHANCE THE STRENGTH
OF THE UPDRAFTS. MODIFYING THE 12Z KCHS SOUNDING...VARIOUS
THERMODYNAMIC PARAMETERS ARE SUGGESTING AT LEAST A LOW-END SEVERE
RISK. MOST NOTABLY IS THE LIFTED INDEX OF -8C...0-3 KM CAPE OF 150
J/KG OR HIGHER AND SBCAPE CLOSE TO 3000 J/KG. THE K-INDEX IS ALSO
CLOSE TO 40 AND OUR 500 MB TEMPS ARE A TAD COOLER AT -10C. PLUS
OUR MID LEVEL LAPSE RATES ARE A LITTLE MORE CONDUCIVE THAN
YESTERDAY FOR STRONGER UPDRAFTS AT -6C. MICRO-BURSTS WOULD SEEM
THE MOST LIKELY WEATHER HAZARD WITH DCAPES OF 600-1000 J/KG...PLUS
SOUNDINGS SHOWING SOME MID LEVEL DRY AIR.

DESPITE EXTENSIVE CUMULIFORM CLOUDINESS AND SOME MID/HIGHER CLOUDS
FROM UPSTREAM CONVECTION...WARM ADVECTION...A SLIGHT DOWNSLOPE
COMPONENT OFF THE MOUNTAINS THROUGHOUT A GOOD PORTION OF THE
TROPOSPHERE AND SOME COMPRESSIONAL HEATING IN ADVANCE OF A COLD
FRONT NEAR THE APPALACHIAN CHAIN...TEMPS WILL MAX OUT IN THE UPPER
80S AND LOWER 90S FOR THE VAST MAJORITY OF THE FORECAST REGION.
HOWEVER...RAIN-COOLED CONDITIONS WILL CAUSE HAVOC WITH OUR
PROJECTED TEMP CURVE AND WE HAVE MADE SOME ADJUSTMENTS TO SHOW
TEMPS FALLING THE AFTER 3 OR 4 PM IN MANY LOCATIONS. EVEN
SO...FURTHER ADJUSTMENTS WILL LIKELY BE REQUIRED IN SUBSEQUENT
UPDATES.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 PM THIS EVENING THROUGH FRIDAY/...
TONIGHT...SHOWER/TSTM ACTIVITY WILL LINGER INTO THE NIGHT AS A
COLD FRONT MEANDERS CLOSER TO THE REGION. THE FRONT LOOKS TO
REMAIN TO THE WEST PRIOR TO SUNRISE...KEEPING THE AREA WELL WITHIN
THE WARM SECTOR. WEAK IMPULSES/VORTICITY LOBES WILL LIKELY KEEP
AT LEAST SCATTERED ACTIVITY GOING FOR MUCH OF THE NIGHT...ALTHOUGH
IDENTIFYING THE AREAS WHERE POCKETS OF CONVECTION WILL OCCUR IS
PROVING DIFFICULT. WILL KEEP CHANCE POPS GOING ALL NIGHT. LOWS
WILL RANGE FROM THE LOWER 70S INLAND TO THE MID 70S AT THE COAST.

WEDNESDAY...THE WAVE OF LOW PRESSURE RIDING ALONG THE COLD FRONT
WILL HAVE SHIFTED OFF THE MID ATLANTIC COASTLINE BY
DAYBREAK...WHILE THE MAIN SHORTWAVE RAPIDLY PROGRESSES TOWARD THE
EAST COAST AND PUSHES THE FRONT INTO THE FORECAST AREA. THE
COMBINATION OF UPPER LEVEL FORCING WITH FRONTAL CONVERGENCE WILL
SUPPORT SOLID THUNDERSTORM CHANCES UP TO 50 PERCENT DURING THE
DAYTIME HOURS...BEFORE THE FRONT SLIPS FARTHER SOUTH/SOUTHEAST AND
PULLS DEEPEST MOISTURE TOWARD THE ALTAMAHA RIVER AFTER SUNSET.
HIGHER RAIN CHANCES WERE CONSIDERED...YET FAIRLY SIGNIFICANT
TIMING DISCREPANCIES REGARDING THE PROGRESSION OF THE FRONT IS
EVIDENT BETWEEN MODELS...LENDING SOME UNCERTAINTY TO COVERAGE
DETAILS. WILL TREND CONVECTIVE POTENTIAL DOWNWARD FROM NORTH TO
SOUTH OVERNIGHT...WHILE STILL MAINTAINING 20 TO 30 PERCENT POPS
THROUGH THE PRE DAWN HOURS ON THURSDAY. INSTABILITY WILL BE
COMPROMISED BY PERSISTENT CLOUD COVER...AND WITH UNIMPRESSIVE WIND
PROFILES...THE MAIN HAZARD FROM THE STRONGEST CONVECTION WILL BE
HEAVY DOWNPOURS DUE TO SLOW STORM MOTION.

THURSDAY AND FRIDAY...THE FRONT IS EXPECTED TO STALL NEAR THE
SOUTHERN BORDER OF THE FORECAST AREA AS IT BECOMES PARALLEL TO THE
FLOW ALOFT LATE IN THE WEEK. SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE WILL BUILD
INTO THE REGION FROM THE NORTH...WITH THE PATTERN EVENTUALLY
TRANSITIONING INTO AN INLAND WEDGE/COASTAL TROUGH TYPE SCENARIO.
EXPECT BEST CONVECTIVE COVERAGE TO BE FOUND ALONG AND SOUTH OF THE
STALLED FRONT DURING THE DAYTIME HOURS...WITH SHOWER/THUNDERSTORM
ACTIVITY SHIFTING MORE TOWARD THE COAST AND OFFSHORE EACH NIGHT
WITHIN COASTAL TROUGH CONVERGENCE.

HIGH TEMPERATURES EACH DAY WILL GENERALLY RANGE FROM THE UPPER 80S
NORTH TO AROUND 90 DEGREES SOUTH...WITH LOCALLY COOLER CONDITIONS
ALONG THE COASTLINE. OVERNIGHT LOWS WILL TREND A FEW DEGREES
COOLER THAN EARLIER IN THE WEEK...RANGING FROM THE UPPER 60S
INLAND TO LOWER 70S COAST.

&&

.LONG TERM /FRIDAY NIGHT THROUGH MONDAY/...
A WEAK INLAND WEDGE/COASTAL TROUGH PATTERN WILL PERSIST INTO
SATURDAY...BEFORE THE TROUGH DAMPENS BY SUNDAY AS HIGH PRESSURE
SETTLES OVER THE ATLANTIC. THE FORECAST AREA WILL THEN REMAIN
ALONG THE WESTERN PERIPHERY OF THE ATLANTIC HIGH PRESSURE INTO
EARLY NEXT WEEK. SHOWER/THUNDERSTORM CHANCES WILL RANGE FROM
AROUND 20 TO 30 PERCENT EACH AFTERNOON AND EARLY EVENING...BEFORE
DIMINISHING OVERNIGHT AS MORE TYPICAL FOR EARLY SUMMER. THE
INITIALLY WEAK AND ILL DEFINED UPPER LEVEL PATTERN WILL TRANSITION
INTO BROAD RIDGING ALOFT...SUPPORTING A GRADUAL WARMING TREND
THROUGH THE PERIOD. HIGH TEMPERATURES AROUND 90 DEGREES AWAY FROM
THE COASTLINE SATURDAY AND SUNDAY WILL WARM INTO THE LOWER 90S BY
MONDAY AND TUESDAY.

&&

.AVIATION /18Z TUESDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/...
CONVECTION WILL CONTINUE TO FIRE IN ADVANCE OF A COLD FRONT AND
ALONG NUMEROUS MESO-SCALE BOUNDARIES...WITH ADDITIONAL FORCING FOR
ASCENT TO RESULT FROM A SHORT WAVE THAT MOVES THROUGH LATE THIS
AFTERNOON/EVENING. WE HAVE SHOWN TEMPORARY FLIGHT RESTRICTIONS
FROM TSRA INTO THE MVFR RANGE FROM 20-24Z AT BOTH SITES AS THE
SHORT WAVE MOVES THROUGH. GUSTY WINDS...HEAVY RAINS AND POSSIBLE
IFR CONDITIONS WILL ALSO OCCUR. IN WAKE OF THE SHORT WAVE THE
AIRFIELDS WILL REMAIN VFR TONIGHT...BUT THE COLD FRONT WILL
APPROACH LATE TONIGHT/WEDNESDAY MORNING AND STALL. WITH THE FRONT
CLOSE BY ADDITIONAL SHRA/TSRA WILL DEVELOP AGAIN EARLY WEDNESDAY.
FLIGHT RESTRICTIONS ARE AGAIN POSSIBLE.

EXTENDED AVIATION...PERIODIC FLIGHT RESTRICTIONS WEDNESDAY THROUGH
THURSDAY IN ASSOCIATION WITH SCATTERED TO NUMEROUS SHRA/TSRA...MAINLY
DURING THE AFTERNOON HOURS.

&&

.MARINE...
THIS AFTERNOON...THE COASTAL REGIME WILL BE SITUATED ON THE
EXTREME NW PERIPHERY OF THE SUB-TROPICAL ATLANTIC RIDGE...WHILE A
COLD FRONT AND PRE-FRONTAL TROUGH WILL BE FOUND OVER THE INLAND
PARTS OF THE SE. SW WINDS WILL PEAK THIS AFTERNOON ENHANCED BY THE
SEA BREEZE AND A TIGHTER PRESSURE GRADIENT...TOPPING OUT AT 15 OR
15-20 KT. SEAS WILL BE A MIXTURE OF GROUND SWELL AND WIND DRIVEN
WAVES...REACHING 3-5 FT...HIGHEST ON THE OUTER GA WATERS AND OVER
AMZ350. MARINERS ARE ALERTED TO THE POTENTIAL FOR STRONG OR SEVERE
STORMS MOVING OFF THE COAST LATE IN THE DAY AND THIS EVENING.

TONIGHT...WINDS WILL PICK UP SLIGHTLY AS A COLD FRONT APPROACHES
FROM THE WEST. WINDS LOOK TO PEAK 15-20 KT OVER THE GEORGIA
OFFSHORE WATERS AND THE CHARLESTON COUNTY COASTAL WATERS WITH 15
KT ELSEWHERE OUTSIDE OF THE CHARLESTON HARBOR. SEAS WILL REMAIN
2-4 FT NEARSHORE AND 4-5 FT GEORGIA OFFSHORE WATERS...BUT MAY
FLIRT WITH 6 FT AT TIMES ABOUT 15 NM EAST OF THE CHARLESTON COUNTY
COAST. SITUATION LOOKS TO MARGINAL FOR A SECOND PERIOD SMALL CRAFT
ADVISORY...SO WILL DEFER ANY ADVISORY DECISION TO THE NEXT
FORECAST SHIFT.

WEDNESDAY THROUGH SATURDAY...A COLD FRONT WILL SLIP INTO THE
COASTAL WATERS WEDNESDAY AND LIKELY STALL NEAR THE GEORGIA MARINE
ZONES THURSDAY. SOUTHERLY WINDS EARLY WEDNESDAY WILL THUS BECOME
EAST/NORTHEAST WEDNESDAY NIGHT INTO THURSDAY BEHIND THE DESCENDING
FRONT. A BRIEF SURGE IN NORTHEAST FLOW IS POSSIBLE THURSDAY
AFTERNOON...AS HIGH PRESSURE RAPIDLY BUILDS FROM THE NORTH AND
BRIEFLY TIGHTENS THE GRADIENT. WIND SPEEDS COULD INCREASE TO 15 TO
20 KT OVER PORTIONS OF THE WATERS AT THAT TIME...YET CONDITIONS
WILL REMAIN BELOW SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY CONDITIONS. MODERATE
EAST/NORTHEAST FLOW WILL CONTINUE INTO FRIDAY WITHIN A COASTAL
TROUGH TYPE PATTERN...BEFORE WINDS BECOME LIGHTER ON SATURDAY AS
THE CENTER OF HIGH PRESSURE SHIFTS OFFSHORE.

RIP CURRENTS...WE HAVE MAINTAINED A MODERATE RISK AT THE BEACHES
THIS AFTERNOON...DUE TO SOUTH AND SW WINDS AROUND 15 MPH AND GUSTY
AND A 2 FOOT SWELL EVERY 10 SECONDS.
