AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE CHARLESTON SC
327 PM EDT TUE JUL 15 2014

.SYNOPSIS...
A COLD FRONT WILL ADVANCE INTO THE REGION TONIGHT. THE FRONT WILL
STALL JUST OFF THE COAST WEDNESDAY INTO THURSDAY BEFORE
DISSIPATING. ATLANTIC HIGH PRESSURE WILL REBUILD LATE IN THE WEEK
WHILE A TROUGH OF LOW PRESSURE DEVELOPS INLAND.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM WEDNESDAY MORNING/...
A FAIRLY SOLID LINE OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS SITTING JUST WEST
OF THE CWA AT MID AFTERNOON WILL WORK ITS WAY STEADILY EASTWARD
THROUGH THE CWA LATE THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING. THE BIGGEST
THREAT WITH THE STORMS WILL BE WINDS OF 40 TO 50 MPH AND LOCALLY
HEAVY RAIN. WE COULD SEE ONE OR TWO STORMS BECOME SEVERE...BUT THE
WEAK MID LEVEL LAPSE RATES REMAIN A LIMITING FACTOR. RAINFALL
RATES WILL BE HIGH...BUT THE STORMS WILL BE MOVING STEADILY...SO
MOST LOCATIONS WILL SEE NO MORE THAN 1 TO 2 INCHES. THERE WILL BE
HIGHER TOTALS IN A FEW SPOTS WHERE RAIN FELL EARLIER THIS
AFTERNOON IN THUNDERSTORMS...BUT THE LIMITED DURATION OF THE HEAVY
RAIN SHOULD STILL PREVENT ANY SIGNIFICANT FLOODING.

THE LINE SHOULD MOVE THROUGH THE SAVANNAH METRO AREA BETWEEN 5 AND
7 PM...WITH PASSAGE THROUGH THE CHARLESTON METRO AREA BETWEEN 6
AND 8 PM. THE MAIN LINE SHOULD BE OFFSHORE OVER THE COASTAL WATERS
BY MID EVENING WITH RAINFALL DIMINISHING OVER LAND...BUT WITH THE
BEST SYNOPTIC FORCING AND THE SURFACE FRONT TRAILING THE LINE BE
SEVERAL HOURS...SCATTERED SHOWERS COULD REDEVELOP OVERNIGHT.

TEMPS WILL STILL BE MILD OVERNIGHT WITH MINIMUMS NEAR 70 INLAND TO
THE MID 70S AT THE COAST.

&&

.SHORT TERM /WEDNESDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/...
MODELS REMAIN IN GENERAL AGREEMENT THAT A
COLD FRONT WILL MOVE THROUGH THE AREA ON WEDNESDAY BEFORE STALLING JUST
OFF THE SOUTHEAST COAST AND DISSIPATING INTO THURSDAY. AS THIS
OCCURS...A MUCH DRYER ZONAL FLOW WILL DEVELOP ALOFT AS A BROAD
MID/UPPER LVL TROUGH OF LOW PRESSURE SHIFTS OFF THE NORTHEAST COAST.
DESPITE DRYER AIR ALOFT...THE PATTERN SHOULD SUPPORT SCATTERED
SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS POST FROPA ON WEDNESDAY AS A SOUTHWEST
FLOW ALLOWS SOME MOISTURE TO LINGER OVER THE AREA...ESPECIALLY IN
SOUTHEAST GEORGIA. HOWEVER...EXPECT MOST ACTIVITY TO REMAIN OFFSHORE
NEAR THE VICINITY OF THE STALLING FRONT. BY THURSDAY...SOUNDINGS
INDICATE A DEEP POCKET OF UNUSUALLY DRY AIR OVER THE AREA FOR THIS
TIME OF YEAR...SUGGESTING RAIN-FREE CONDITIONS THROUGH THURSDAY
NIGHT. LIGHT ONSHORE WINDS WILL THEN DEVELOP ON FRIDAY...SUPPORTING
AN INCREASE IN CLOUD COVER AS MOISTURE BEGINS TO RETURN OVER THE
SOUTHEAST. HOWEVER...DRY AIR OFF THE SFC SHOULD KEEP A RAIN-FREE
FORECAST OVER THE AREA TO START OFF THE WEEKEND.

OVERALL HIGH TEMPS WILL BE A DEGREE OR TWO COOLER THAN PREVIOUS DAYS
ONCE THE FRONT SHIFTS PAST THE AREA. IN GENERAL...AFTERNOON HIGHS
WILL RANGE IN THE UPPER 80S TO LOWER 90S...WARMEST INLAND AND
TOWARDS THE END OF THE WEEK. OVERNIGHT LOWS WILL GENERALLY RANGE
BETWEEN THE MID 60S TO LOW 70S AWAY FROM THE COAST ON
WEDNESDAY...THEN GRADUALLY WARM INTO THE UPPER 60S TO LOW/MID 70S
AWAY FROM THE COAST BY FRIDAY.

&&

.LONG TERM /FRIDAY NIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY/...
A BROAD UPPER LEVEL TROUGH REBUILDS FOR THE LONG TERM PERIOD WHILE
ATLANTIC HIGH PRESSURE STRENGTHENS TO OUR EAST. A PRONOUNCED LEE
TROUGH WILL BE IN PLACE THROUGHOUT...PROVIDING AN INCREASE IN LOW
LEVEL CONVERGENCE FOR SCATTERED AFTERNOON AND EVENING SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS. HIGHS WILL GENERALLY BE IN THE LOWER 90S WITH LOWS IN
THE 70S.

&&

.AVIATION /19Z TUESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/...
AHEAD OF AN APPROACHING COLD FRONT...EXPECT AN ACTIVE
THUNDERSTORM REGIME FOR THE REMAINDER OF THIS AFTERNOON AND THIS
EVENING. THERE IS A HIGH PROBABILITY FOR BOTH TERMINALS TO BE
IMPACTED BY ONE OR MULTIPLE THUNDERSTORMS 20-24Z TIME FRAME...AND
ADDITIONAL SHOWERS/THUNDERSTORMS COULD CONTINUE INTO TONIGHT AS
THE COLD FRONT/UPPER TROUGH CONTINUE TO INTERACT WITH DEEP
MOISTURE OVER THE REGION. I HAVE MADE SOME ADJUSTMENTS ON TIMING
OF REDUCED VSBYS OVER THE NEXT 12 HOURS BASED ON NEAR TERM MODEL
GUIDANCE AND SATELLITE AND RADAR TRENDS.

EXTENDED AVIATION OUTLOOK...BRIEF FLIGHT RESTRICTIONS ARE
POSSIBLE DUE TO SHOWERS/THUNDERSTORMS WITH THE GREATEST COVERAGE
INTO WEDNESDAY. VFR CONDITIONS ARE THEN EXPECTED THROUGH FRIDAY
BEFORE ISOLATED SHOWERS/THUNDERSTORMS RETURN ON SATURDAY.

&&

.MARINE...
SOUTHWESTERLY WINDS AHEAD OF THE COLD FRONT TONIGHT WILL GENERALLY
BE IN THE 15 TO 20 KNOT RANGE...ALTHOUGH THERE MAY BE SOME HIGHER
GUSTS THIS EVENING AHEAD OF THE LINE OF THUNDERSTORMS AS IT MOVES
OFFSHORE. WINDS WILL START TO DIMINISH A LITTLE LATE TONIGHT AS
THE PRESSURE GRADIENT WEAKENS A BIT. BIGGEST HAZARD TONIGHT WITH
BE THE EXPECTED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS...WITH THE POTENTIAL FOR
SOME SHORT FUSED SPECIAL MARINE WARNINGS AND MARINE WEATHER STATEMENTS.

SEAS WILL BE AS HIGH AS 5 FEET OVER THE OUTER EDGES OF THE MARINE
AREA TONIGHT...BUT...LIKE THE WINDS...SHOULD COME DOWN A BIT BY
MORNING AS THE FRONT SLOWS DOWN CONSIDERABLY.

A RATHER WEAK PRESSURE PATTERN WILL EXIST WEDNESDAY INTO THURSDAY
WITH A FRONT STALLED OVER THE WATERS. THE MAIN CIRCULATION WILL BE
A WEAK AFTERNOON SEA BREEZE ALONG THE COAST. A SOUTHERLY FLOW
GRADUALLY RETURNS OVER THE WEEKEND AS ATLANTIC HIGH PRESSURE
REBUILDS.
