AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE COLUMBIA SC
1214 PM EDT WED JUN 11 2014

.SYNOPSIS...
EXPECT INCREASED RAIN CHANCES AS AN UPPER TROUGH APPROACHES THE
REGION FROM THE WEST...AND ATMOSPHERIC MOISTURE INCREASES. WEAK
UPPER TROUGHINESS AND SUFFICIENT ATMOSPHERIC MOISTURE WILL PROVIDE
CONTINUED CHANCES OF MAINLY AFTERNOON AND EVENING THUNDERSTORMS
THROUGH EARLY NEXT WEEK...WITH NEAR NORMAL TEMPERATURES.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...
UPPER AND SURFACE HIGH TO OUR SE WITH UPPER AND SURFACE LOW TO
OUR NW PROVIDING A DEEP MOIST SW FLOW FOR OUR REGION...WITH
INCREASING ATMOSPHERIC MOISTURE EXPECTED TODAY LEADING TO
INCREASED POPS/THUNDERSTORM CHANCES. MODEL GUIDANCE SUGGESTS BATCH
OF CONVECTION TO OUR WEST...ASSOCIATED WITH APPROACHING UPPER
TROUGH...WILL MOVE EAST INTO OUR REGION THIS AFTERNOON AND COMBINE
WITH AN EXPECTED SEA BREEZE BOUNDARY TO RESULT IN AT LEAST LIKELY
CHANCES OF SHOWER AND THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY THIS AFTERNOON AND
EVENING. INSTABILITY NOT PROGGED TO BE AS GREAT TODAY AS
TUESDAY...BUT SUFFICIENT INSTABILITY TO PROVIDE A THREAT OF SEVERE
WIND GUSTS WITH A FEW OF THE STRONGER STORMS. HIGHER PRECIPITABLE
WATER VALUES TODAY WILL LEAD TO ENHANCED LOCALLY HEAVY RAIN/FLOODING
THREAT WITH ANY SLOW MOVING...TRAINING...OR MERGING ECHOES.

&&

.SHORT TERM /THURSDAY THROUGH FRIDAY NIGHT/...
THE MAIN UPPER LOW CONTINUES TO WEAKEN AND MOVE EASTWARD TOWARDS
THE REGION THURSDAY INTO FRIDAY. THE MAIN TROUGH MOVES EAST
FRIDAY...BUT WILL QUICKLY BE REPLACE WITH A SECOND TROUGH DROPPING
INTO THE REGION. THIS WILL CONTINUE TO KEEP UNSETTLED CONDITIONS
IN THE FORECAST. THERE SHOULD STILL BE ENOUGH LOW-LEVEL MOISTURE
AND INSTABILITY IN THE AFTERNOON HOURS TO PRODUCE AT LEAST
SCATTERED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS BOTH DAYS. ACTIVITY SHOULD
DIMINISH LATE IN THE EVENING HOURS. AFTERNOON HIGHS THURSDAY
ADVERTISED TO BE A FEW DEGREES COOLER UNDER THE UPPER LOW...MAINLY
DUE TO THE INCREASE IN CLOUD COVER ASSOCIATED WITH THE LOW. TEMPS
THURSDAY IN THE MIDDLE TO UPPER 80S. FOR FRIDAY READINGS SHOULD
ONCE AGAIN BE ABLE TO CLIMB TO AROUND 90. OVERNIGHT LOWS FALLING
INTO THE MIDDLE TO UPPER 60S BOTH NIGHTS.

&&

.LONG TERM /SATURDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
LONGER RANGE MODELS NOW SHOWING THE REGION SANDWICHED BETWEEN
UPPER RIDGING OFF THE SOUTHEASTERN COAST AND WEAK RIDGING ACROSS
THE SOUTHERN MISSISSIPPI VALLEY. THIS KEEPS A WEAK UPPER TROUGH
OVER THE AREA INTO THE FIRST PART OF NEXT WEEK. BY MID-
WEEK...DEEPER TROUGH TAKES HOLD IN THE WESTERN STATES...HELPING TO
BUILD A WEAK RIDGE ACROSS THE EAST. STILL MUCH UNCERTAINTY WITH
POPS THROUGH THE PERIOD. WOULD EXPECT TYPICALLY SUMMER PATTERN OF
DIURNAL CONVECTION. NEAR CLIMO TEMPS.

&&

.AVIATION /16Z WEDNESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/...
VFR AT ALL TERMINALS THIS MORNING WITH SCT MID LEVEL CLOUDS WITH CU
AT 4-5K FT DEVELOPING. BY 18Z CLOUD COVERAGE WILL INCREASE ACROSS
THE AREA AND SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL DEVELOP. EXPECT TEMPO
MVFR MAINLY BETWEEN 18Z AND 22Z IN CONVECTIVE ACTIVITY. WIND WILL
GENERALLY BE FROM THE SOUTH TO SOUTHWEST AT 10KTS OR LESS THROUGH
THE PERIOD EXCEPT FOR HIGHER WIND SPEEDS AND GUSTS IN
THUNDERSTORMS.

EXTENDED AVIATION OUTLOOK...SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS EACH DAY MAY
CAUSE BRIEF MVFR CIGS/VSBYS.
