AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE CHARLESTON SC
206 PM EDT WED JUL 2 2014

.SYNOPSIS...
TROPICAL STORM ARTHUR...CURRENTLY LOCATED OFF THE FLORIDA EAST
COAST...WILL MOVE NORTH AND TO A POSITION WELL OFF THE GEORGIA
COAST BY EARLY THURSDAY MORNING. ARTHUR WILL THEN MOVE NORTHEAST
OFF THE SOUTH CAROLINA COAST ON THURSDAY AS IT BECOMES A
HURRICANE. ARTHUR WILL EVENTUALLY PULL AWAY FROM THE AREA THROUGH
THURSDAY NIGHT AS IT HEADS TOWARDS THE NORTH CAROLINA OUTER
BANKS. A TROUGH OF LOW PRESSURE WILL THEN SETTLE OVER THE AREA
THIS WEEKEND AND POSSIBLY PERSIST INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK. REFER TO
THE LATEST ADVISORY ON ARTHUR ISSUED BY THE NATIONAL HURRICANE
CENTER.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 PM THIS EVENING/...
EARLY THIS AFTERNOON...NO CHANGES MADE TO THE GOING FORECAST.
SHOWERS/THUNDERSTORMS WILL HAVE A DIFFICULT TIME DEVELOPING BUT I
HAVE LEFT THE SLIGHT CHANCE IN PLACE. PREVIOUS DISCUSSION FOLLOWS
BELOW.

LATE THIS MORNING...OTHER THAN A FEW CU STARTING TO DEVELOP THE
BULK OF THE FORECAST AREA IS GENERALLY CLOUD FREE. THE CLOUD
SHIELD ASSOCIATED WITH TROPICAL STORM ARTHUR IS MAKING SLOW
NORTHWARD PROGRESS...BUT SHOULD HAVE LITTLE IMPACT ON THE AREA
TODAY. INSTEAD...WATER VAPOR SATELLITE IMAGERY SHOWS A NOTABLE
POCKET OF DRY AIR NORTH OF ARTHUR THAT ALSO ENCOMPASSES OUR AREA.
THIS IS FURTHER SUPPORTED BY A PWAT OF 1.7 INCHES OFF THE 12Z
SOUNDING WHICH IS LESS THAN 24 HOURS AGO. THIS DRY AIR COMBINED
WITH INCREASING SUBSIDENCE IN ADVANCE OF THE STRENGTHENING ARTHUR
WILL WORK TO KEEP LAND AREAS PRIMARILY RAIN FREE TODAY. A MODIFIED
12Z SOUNDING DOES YIELD CAPE VALUES UPWARDS OF 3000 J/KG...SO AN
ISOLATED SHOWER/THUNDERSTORM CANNOT BE RULED OUT. OVERALL THE
GOING POP TRENDS WERE IN GOOD SHAPE AND REQUIRED LITTLE
ADJUSTMENT. RADAR IMAGERY SHOWS SOME OF THE FAR OUTER RAIN BANDS
OF ARTHUR TRYING TO ROTATE INTO THE OUTER GEORGIA COASTAL WATERS.
THE HIGHEST POPS ARE IN THIS AREA TO ACCOUNT FOR THESE SHOWERS AND
STORMS MOVING IN FROM THE EAST THROUGH THE DAY. IN THE SUBSIDENCE
REGION...ANOTHER WARM AND ABOVE NORMAL DAY IS EXPECTED. THE LARGER
SCALE SUBSIDENCE WILL BE NEGATED BY THE BROAD ONSHORE FLOW...BUT
HIGHS IN THE LOW TO MID 90S WITH SOME UPPER 90S WELL INLAND SEEMS
REASONABLE.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 PM THIS EVENING THROUGH SATURDAY/...
TONIGHT...ARTHUR IS FORECAST TO MOVE CLOSER TO THE REGION TONIGHT
WHILE INTENSIFYING INTO A CATEGORY 1 HURRICANE. THE 5 AM NHC
FORECAST TRACK HAS SHIFTED BACK TO THE WEST SLIGHTLY PER THE
LATEST TRENDS NOTED IN THE VARIOUS 00Z MODELS...POSSIBLY DUE TO A
SLIGHTLY STRONGER MID/UPPER-LEVEL RIDGE SAMPLED JUST TO THE NORTH
OF THE CIRCULATION CENTER. EVEN WITH THIS SLIGHTLY WESTWARD
SHIFT...THE BULK OF THE DIRECT IMPACTS ARE EXPECTED TO REMAIN OVER
THE ATLANTIC AND ADJACENT COASTAL WATERS WHERE TROPICAL STORM
HEADLINES ARE IN EFFECT. PER COORDINATION WITH NHC...SHOULD THE
WESTWARD TREND CONTINUE WITH THE 12Z MODELS...THEN A TROPICAL
STORM WARNING MAY BE NEEDED FOR PORTIONS OF THE LOWER SOUTH
CAROLINA COAST. EXPECT BREEZY CONDITIONS TO DEVELOP ALONG THE
COAST AFTER MIDNIGHT AS THE OUTER CIRCULATION OF ARTHER BEGINS TO
AFFECT THE AREA WITH CLOUDS AND RAIN CHANCES SLOWLY INCREASING.
WITH SUCH DRY AIR IN PLACE...THERE WILL LIKELY BE A VERY SHARP
GRADIENT ASSOCIATED WITH THE NORTHWEST AND SOUTHWEST QUADRANTS.
WILL LIMIT POPS 20/30 PERCENT ALONG THE COAST WITH HIGHER POPS
INTO THE LIKELY CATEGORY FOR THE COASTAL WATERS. AGAIN...ANY
SLIGHT DEVIATION IN THE TRACK COULD MEAN SIGNIFICANT CHANGES IN
THE POTENTIAL IMPACTS.

THURSDAY...A TROUGH OF LOW PRESSURE APPROACHING THE SOUTHEAST UNITED
STATES SHOULD BEGIN TO DEFLECT TROPICAL STORM ARTHUR TO THE
NORTH/NORTHEAST AS IT TRACKS OFF THE GEORGIA AND SOUTH CAROLINA
COAST AS WHAT WILL LIKELY BE A CATEGORY 1 HURRICANE. MODEL GUIDANCE
DOES HAVE SOME DIFFERENCES IN THE TRACK OF ARTHUR OFF THE SOUTHEAST
COAST...WITH MANY OF THE MODELS INDICATING A SLIGHTLY MORE WESTWARD
TRACK THAN THE CURRENT NHC FORECAST TRACK. HOWEVER...THE GENERAL
CONSENSUS IS THAT THE FORECAST AREA WILL REMAIN ON THE WESTERN SIDE
OF ARTHUR WHILE ITS CENTER MAKES ITS CLOSEST APPROACH THURSDAY
AFTERNOON...SOME 100-120 MILES OFF THE CHARLESTON COUNTY COAST.
GIVEN THE LATEST NHC FORECAST TRACK AND THE LIKELIHOOD OF WEAKER
WINDS ON THE WESTERN SIDE OF ARTHUR...NO TROPICAL STORM WATCHES OR
WARNINGS ARE EXPECTED OVER LAND AREAS AT THIS TIME. BREEZY WINDS AND
RAINFALL SHOULD MAINLY BE CONFINED ALONG OR NEAR THE COAST AS ARTHUR
PASSES OFFSHORE AND THEN TO THE NORTH/NORTHEAST. THERE STILL REMAINS
A POTENTIAL FOR DANGEROUS RIP CURRENTS...HIGH SURF AND SOME BEACH
EROSION ALONG THE SC COAST...ESPECIALLY IF ARTHUR MAKES A CLOSER
APPROACH.

DESPITE MOST RAINFALL BEING CONFINED NEAR THE COAST...STRONG SFC
HEATING INLAND COULD PRODUCE ADDITIONAL SHOWERS AND/OR THUNDERSTORMS
AS TEMPS PEAK IN THE LOW/MID 90S THURSDAY AFTERNOON. HAVE THEREFORE
MAINTAINED LOW-END CHANCE POPS OVER ALL INLAND AREAS INTO THURSDAY
EVENING. EXPECT WEATHER CONDITIONS TO IMPROVE AND BECOME DRYER AS
ARTHUR BEGINS TO PULL AWAY FROM THE AREA THURSDAY EVENING/NIGHT.
OVERNIGHT LOWS SHOULD RANGE IN THE LOW TO MID 70S.

FRIDAY AND SATURDAY...IMPROVING WEATHER CONDITIONS ARE LIKELY BY
THIS WEEKEND AS ARTHUR IS FORECAST TO SHIFT FURTHER NORTH/NORTHEAST
AND AWAY FROM THE AREA OFFSHORE. LIGHT WESTERLY WINDS IN WAKE OF
ARTHUR WILL LIKELY CONTRIBUTE TO SOME SUBSIDENCE OVER THE AREA AND
LESS CHANCES OF SHOWERS AND/OR THUNDERSTORMS OVER THE SOUTHEAST.
HAVE THEREFORE MAINTAINED ONLY SLIGHT CHANCE POPS OVER THE FORECAST
AREA ON FRIDAY. ON SATURDAY...CHANCES OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS
SHOULD RETURN OVER MUCH OF THE AREA AS A WEAK TROUGH LINGERS OVER
THE SOUTHEAST WHILE A LIGHT ONSHORE WIND DEVELOPS ALONG THE
SOUTHEAST COAST. CHANCES APPEAR GREATEST IN SOUTHEAST GEORGIA WITH
AN AFTERNOON SEABREEZE SATURDAY. OVERALL HIGH TEMPS SHOULD PEAK IN
THE LOW 90S AWAY FROM THE COAST A FEW LOCATIONS COULD PEAK IN THE
MID 90S WELL INLAND.

&&

.LONG TERM /SATURDAY NIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
A MORE TYPICAL SUMMERTIME PATTERN IS EXPECTED LATE THIS WEEKEND AND
EARLY NEXT WEEK AS THE AREA REMAINS BETWEEN THE WESTERN EDGE OF
ATLANTIC HIGH PRESSURE AND A WEAKENING TROUGH OF LOW PRESSURE OVER
THE SOUTHEAST. LIGHT ONSHORE FLOW SHOULD PROVIDE SUFFICIENT MOISTURE
RETURN FOR AFTERNOON SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS EACH DAY...ESPECIALLY
CLOSER TO THE TROUGH IN SOUTHEAST GEORGIA. PWATS NEAR 2.0 INCHES
WILL GRADUALLY SHIFT NORTH INTO TUESDAY...INDICATING CHANCES OF
SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS SHOULD SPREAD NORTH OVER MOST LOCATIONS
ALONG AND AHEAD OF AN INLAND MOVING SEABREEZE. TEMPS SHOULD BE
SLIGHTLY COOLER OVER THE WEEKEND AND EARLY NEXT WEEK...BUT ARE STILL
EXPECTED TO PEAK IN THE UPPER 80S ALONG THE COAST TO LOWER 90S
INLAND. OVERNIGHT LOWS WILL TYPICALLY RANGE IN THE LOW TO MID 70S
AWAY FROM THE COAST.

&&

.AVIATION /18Z WEDNESDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...
AT KCHS...TROPICAL STORM ARTHUR WILL CONTINUE TO APPROACH FROM THE
SOUTH THROUGH TONIGHT. BREEZY CONDITIONS WILL CONTINUE THIS AFTERNOON
AND THEN WINDS WILL TURN MORE EASTERLY OVERNIGHT AND REMAIN
ELEVATED. AS ARTHUR AND THE DEEP MOISTURE ASSOCIATED WITH IT DRAW
CLOSER LATE TONIGHT AND THURSDAY MORNING...CHANCES FOR RAIN AND
RESTRICTED CEILINGS WILL INCREASE. BASED ON CURRENT MODEL
TIMING...SHOWERS MAY BEGIN IMPACTING THE TERMINAL AREA AS EARLY AS
12Z AND CONTINUE THROUGH THE END OF THE PERIOD. I HAVE LEFT THE
FORECAST VFR...THOUGH THE POTENTIAL FOR MVFR CEILINGS CERTAINLY
EXISTS LATE IN THE PERIOD. WINDS WILL BECOME MORE NORTHEASTERLY
AND EVENTUALLY NORTHERLY WITH TIME...WITH GUSTS INTO THE 20-25 KT
RANGE EXPECTED.

AT KSAV...BEING FURTHER WEST THAN KCHS IS EXPECTED TO KEEP MUCH OF
THE IMPACTS FROM ARTHUR AWAY FROM THE TERMINAL. I HAVE KEPT THE
FORECAST VFR THROUGH THE PERIOD AND MAINLY HAVE DIFFERENT
PREVAILING GROUPS TO REFLECT WINDS BACKING TO
EASTERLY...NORTHEASTERLY...AND EVENTUALLY NORTHWESTERLY THROUGH
THE PERIOD.

EXTENDED AVIATION OUTLOOK...ARTHUR WILL PULL AWAY FROM THE AREA
THURSDAY EVENING. VFR CONDITIONS WILL PREVAIL.

&&

.MARINE...
TODAY...WINDS WILL INCREASE VERY SLOWLY ACROSS THE WATERS TODAY AS
THE GRADIENT BEGINS TO TIGHTEN WITH THE APPROACH OF ARTHUR. WINDS
WILL GENERALLY REMAIN 10-15 KT FOR MUCH OF THE DAY...THEN INCREASE
TO 15-20 KT OVER THE GEORGIA WATERS BY MID-LATE AFTERNOON.
COMBINED SEAS WILL BUILD TO 4-6 FT NEARSHORE WATERS AND 6-10 FT
OVER THE GEORGIA OFFSHORE WATERS THIS AFTERNOON.

TONIGHT...CONDITIONS WILL STEADILY DETERIORATE OVER THE COASTAL
WATERS TONIGHT AS THE ARTHUR MOVES TO A POSITION OFFSHORE OF THE
SAVANNAH RIVER ENTRANCE BY SUNRISE THURSDAY. TROPICAL STORM FORCE
WINDS...AT LEAST IN FREQUENT GUSTS...APPEAR THE MOST LIKELY TO
OCCUR OVER THE GEORGIA OFFSHORE WATERS AS WELL AS A PORTION OF
THE CHARLESTON COUNTY WATERS...SO THE TROPICAL STORM WATCH WILL BE
UPGRADED TO A TROPICAL STORM WARNING WITH THIS FORECAST CYCLE. IN
ADDITION...A SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY WILL BE ISSUED FOR THE REMAINING
MARINE ZONES. SEAS WILL BUILD STEADILY OVERNIGHT...REACHING 4-9
FT NEARSHORE WATERS TO 9-12 FT OFFSHORE WATERS. PRIMARILY USED A
BLEND OF THE PREVIOUS WAVE GRIDS WITH THE LATEST WW4 OUTPUT.

THURSDAY...WINDS AND SEAS WILL CONTINUE TO DETERIORATE AS TROPICAL
STORM ARTHUR BEGINS TO TAKE ON A MORE NORTH/NORTHEAST TRACK LIKELY
AS HURRICANE WELL OFF THE GEORGIA AND SOUTH CAROLINA COAST. GIVEN
THE LATEST NHC TRACK...THE COASTAL WATERS SHOULD REMAIN ON THE
WESTERN SIDE OF ARTHUR AS IT PASSES TO THE NORTH/NORTHEAST INTO
THURSDAY EVENING/NIGHT. HOWEVER...LOW-END TROPICAL STORM FORCE WINDS
APPEAR LIKELY WITH SEAS BUILDING NEAR 10 FT ON THE OUTER EDGE OF
OFFSHORE GEORGIA WATERS AND NORTHERN SC WATERS BEYOND 10 NM OFF THE
CHARLESTON COUNTY COAST. A TROPICAL STORM WATCH HAS THEREFORE BEEN
UPGRADED TO A TROPICAL STORM WARNING FOR THESE ZONES UNTIL 00Z
FRIDAY. THE REMAINING NEARSHORE WATERS SOUTH OF EDISTO SC ARE
CERTAINLY NOT OUT OF THE RISK OF TROPICAL STORM FORCE WINDS SHOULD
ARTHUR TAKE ON A MORE WESTWARD TRACK THAN CURRENTLY INDICATED...BUT
CHANCES ARE FAIRLY LOW THAT TROPICAL STORM WATCHES OR WARNINGS WILL
BE NEEDED. SMALL CRAFT ADVISORIES WILL BE IN EFFECT FOR THESE WATERS
THROUGH LATE THURSDAY.
