AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE CHARLESTON SC
343 PM EDT WED JUN 26 2013

.SYNOPSIS...
BERMUDA HIGH PRESSURE WILL PREVAIL THIS WEEK...WHILE A WEAK
TROUGH OF LOW PRESSURE LINGERS INLAND. A COLD FRONT WILL APPROACH
AND POSSIBLY STALL NEAR THE AREA EARLY NEXT WEEK.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM THURSDAY MORNING/...
PWAT VALUES BETWEEN 1.5 AND 2 INCHES REFLECT THE ABUNDANT DEEP
MOISTURE ACROSS THE SOUTHEAST STATES...AS SHORTWAVE ENERGY
CONTINUES TO TRACK INTO THE REGION WITHIN A WEAK UPPER TROUGH.
A SOLID WEST LOW/MID LEVEL FLOW HAS ALLOWED UPSTREAM CONVECTION
TO STEADILY TRACK INTO THE FORECAST AREA...WHILE ALSO PINNING THE
SEABREEZE ALONG THE COAST. ALTHOUGH THERE WILL BE SOME SYNOPTIC
SCALE SUPPORT FROM THE VARIOUS SHORTWAVES...THE WIND PROFILE IS
RATHER UNIMPRESSIVE AND MID LEVEL LAPSE RATES ARE FAIRLY LOW.
ISOLATED STRONG TO SEVERE THUNDERSTORM DEVELOPMENT IS STILL
POSSIBLE AND WILL MAINLY BE DEPENDENT ON MESOSCALE BOUNDARY
INTERACTIONS. CURRENT TRENDS SUGGEST THAT EASTWARD PROGRESSING
THUNDERSTORMS COULD INTENSIFY UPON CONTACT WITH THE LINGERING
SEABREEZE. THE MAIN HAZARDS FROM ORGANIZED CONVECTION WILL BE
STRONG WINDS AND PERHAPS BRIEF HAIL PRODUCTION.

LATEST THINKING IS THAT CONVECTION WILL CONTINUE TO TRACK WEST TO
EAST THROUGH THE FORECAST AREA INTO THE EARLY EVENING...BEFORE
SHIFTING OFF THE COAST FOLLOWING ONE OF THE STRONGER SHORTWAVES.
A MORE AMPLIFIED SHORTWAVE TROUGH WILL BE APPROACHING THE WESTERN
BORDER OF THE FORECAST AREA BY DAYBREAK...YET EXPECT RAIN CHANCES
TO REMAIN BELOW 15 PERCENT OVER LAND AREAS FROM LATE EVENING
THROUGH AT LEAST SUNRISE. LOW TEMPERATURES WILL RANGE IN THE LOW
TO MID 70S.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 AM THURSDAY MORNING THROUGH SATURDAY/...
A FAIRLY WET AND ACTIVE PATTERN IS IN STORE FOR THE END OF THE
LATTER HALF OF THE WEEK. AN UPPER LEVEL TROUGH AND ASSOCIATED SURFACE
LOW WILL SHIFT EAST TOWARDS THE ATLANTIC COAST ON THURSDAY. AN AXIS
OF MOISTURE WILL SET UP OVER THE FORECAST AREA...WITH PRECIPITABLE
WATER VALUES INCREASING TO AROUND 2 INCHES BY THE AFTERNOON. EXPECT
SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS TO INCREASE IN COVERAGE THROUGH THE
DAY...WITH CHANCES GENERALLY IN THE 40 TO 50 PERCENT RANGE. THERE
WILL BE A POTENTIAL FOR SEVERE STORMS IN THE AFTERNOON AND EVENING
AS A BAND OF VORTICITY CROSSES THROUGH THE AREA AND PROVIDES
ADDITIONAL FORCING. MODEL SOUNDINGS INDICATE SBCAPE UP TO AROUND
3000 J/KG...WITH DCAPE VALUES BETWEEN 600 AND 800 J/KG. DAMAGING
WIND WILL BE THE PRIMARY THREAT. SPC CURRENTLY HAS A SLIGHT RISK
OUTLINED MAINLY WEST OF THE FORECAST AREA...HOWEVER A PORTION OF OUR
INTERIOR COUNTIES ARE INCLUDED.

ON FRIDAY AND SATURDAY...LONGWAVE TROUGH WILL REMAIN SITUATED OVER
THE EASTERN U.S. AT THE SURFACE...HIGH PRESSURE WILL BE CENTERED
OVER THE ATLANTIC...WITH A TROUGH OF LOW PRESSURE INLAND. DEEP
MOISTURE WILL REMAIN IN PLACE OVER THE AREA. THIS IN COMBINATION
WITH CONVERGENCE WITH THE INLAND TROUGH...30 TO 40 PERCENT POPS ARE
STILL WARRANTED. ON SATURDAY...ANOTHER VORT MAX IS FORECAST TO ROUND
THE BASE OF THE UPPER TROUGH...WITH PRECIPITABLE WATER VALUES
INCREASING TO OVER 2 INCHES. THIS WILL RESULT IN ANOTHER ROUND OF
SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS...WITH PERIODS OF HEAVY RAIN POSSIBLE.
GIVEN THE ADDED FORCING AND DECENT INSTABILITY FORECAST...CANNOT
RULE OUT SEVERE POTENTIAL.

NUDGED MAX TEMPERATURES DOWN A COUPLE DEGREES ASSUMING MORE COVERAGE
IN PRECIPITATION AND CLOUDINESS...BUT OVERALL TEMPERATURES WILL BE
FAIRLY CLOSE TO NORMAL. HIGHS WILL BE IN THE LOWER 90S AWAY FROM THE
IMMEDIATE COAST...AND LOWS WILL BE IN THE LOWER TO MIDDLE 70S.

&&

.LONG TERM /SATURDAY NIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
MEDIUM RANGE GUIDANCE IS IN FAIRLY GOOD AGREEMENT INDICATING THE
POTENTIAL FOR UNSETTLED CONDITIONS THROUGH MUCH OF THE LONG TERM
PERIOD. THE SYNOPTIC PATTERN IN THE MID AND UPPER LEVELS OF THE
ATMOSPHERE WILL FEATURE AN UNSEASONABLY DEEP TROUGH OVER THE CENTRAL
UNITED STATES WITH A RIDGE OVER THE WESTERN ATLANTIC ALLOWING FOR
ADVECTION OF DEEP MOISTURE OVER THE REGION. AT THE SURFACE...
ATLANTIC HIGH PRESSURE WILL PREVAIL AS A LEE SIDE TROUGH LINGERS
INLAND.

THE FORECAST WILL INDICATE A GOOD CHANCE OF SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS EACH DAY...WITH A SLIGHT CHANCE OR LOW CHANCE OF
SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS AT NIGHT. OVERALL...PARTS OF THE REGION
COULD EXPERIENCE SEVERAL INCHES OF RAINFALL DURING THE COURSE OF THE
LONG TERM PERIOD. NEAR NORMAL TEMPERATURES ARE EXPECTED EACH DAY
WITH NEAR TO SLIGHTLY ABOVE NORMAL TEMPERATURES AT NIGHT.

&&

.AVIATION /19Z WEDNESDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...
ISOLATED TO SCATTERED CONVECTION PROGRESSING FROM WEST TO EAST AND
INTENSIFYING ALONG THE PINNED SEABREEZE COULD IMPACT THE
TERMINALS THROUGH AT LEAST LATE AFTERNOON/EARLY EVENING. EXPECT
THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY TO DIMINISH IN COVERAGE AFTER SUNSET WITH
THE LOSS OF DIURNAL HEATING AND INSTABILITY. ALTHOUGH BRIEF
REDUCTIONS IN CEILINGS/VISIBILITIES COULD OCCUR IN
THUNDERSTORMS...VFR CONDITIONS ARE OTHERWISE EXPECTED TO PREVAIL
THROUGH 18Z THURSDAY.

EXTENDED AVIATION...SCATTERED SHOWERS AND TSTMS EXPECTED EACH
AFTERNOON/EVENING WITH BRIEF REDUCTIONS IN VSBY/CIG POSSIBLE.

&&

.MARINE...
TONIGHT...ATLANTIC HIGH PRESSURE WILL PREVAIL...AS A TROUGH OF
LOW PRESSURE LINGERS INLAND. THIS PATTERN WILL MAINTAIN
SOUTH/SOUTHWEST FLOW ACROSS THE WATERS THROUGH THE PERIOD WITH
SPEEDS GENERALLY 15 KT OR LESS.

THURSDAY THROUGH MONDAY...SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE WILL REMAIN
CENTERED EAST OF THE WATERS...WHILE A TROUGH OF LOW PRESSURE
BECOMES SITUATED INLAND. THIS WILL RESULT IN A TIGHTENED PRESSURE
GRADIENT OVER THE COASTAL WATERS. WINDS WILL APPROACH SMALL CRAFT
ADVISORY CRITERIA AT TIMES THROUGH THE WEEKEND...MAINLY IN THE
NEARSHORE SC WATERS FROM SOUTH SANTEE TO EDISTO BEACH...AS WELL AS
IN THE OUTER GA WATERS. SEAS WILL GENERALLY BE 2 TO 4 FEET THROUGH
THE END OF THE WEEK...THEN BUILDING TO 3 TO 5 FT THIS
WEEKEND...HIGHEST IN THE OUTER WATERS.
