AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE CHARLESTON SC
201 PM EDT TUE AUG 12 2014

.SYNOPSIS...
A COLD FRONT WILL APPROACH THE AREA FROM THE WEST THIS AFTERNOON
AND BEGIN TO MOVE THROUGH THE REGION ON WEDNESDAY. THE FRONT WILL
LINGER ALONG THE SOUTHEAST COAST LATE IN THE WEEK AND DISSIPATE.
THE REMNANTS OF THE FRONT COULD LIFT BACK NORTH THROUGH THE AREA
EARLY NEXT WEEK.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 PM THIS EVENING/...
THIS AFTERNOON...LATEST RADAR TRENDS SHOW SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS
DEVELOPING INLAND WHERE A SFC TROUGH OF LOW PRESSURE IS BECOMING
ENHANCED WHILE A MID LVL LOW SLOWLY ADVANCES FROM THE MIDWEST TO THE
NORTHEAST UNITED STATES. EXPECT SHOWER AND THUNDERSTORM COVERAGE TO
GRADUALLY EXPAND EASTWARD TOWARD THE COAST FOR THE NEXT COUPLE HOURS
AS A WARM AND MOIST ATMOSPHERE IS PRESENT WELL AHEAD OF A SFC COLD
FRONT APPROACHING FROM THE WEST/NORTHWEST. GIVEN FASTER STORM
MOTIONS THAN PREVIOUS DAYS...THE THREAT OF FLASH FLOODING SHOULD
REMAIN LOW. HOWEVER...WE CAN NOT RULE OUT THE POSSIBILITY OF
LOCALIZED FLOODING GIVEN DEEP MOISTURE OVER THE AREA THIS AFTERNOON.
OVERALL HIGH TEMPS REMAIN ON TRACK...IN THE LOWER 90S FOR MOST
LOCATIONS AWAY FROM THE COAST.

A STRONG TO SEVERE THUNDERSTORM IS POSSIBLE LATE THIS AFTERNOON INTO
THE EVENING AS SBCAPES ARE ALREADY IN THE 3000-4000 J/KG RANGE AND
DRY MID LVL AIR IS EXPECTED TO PUSH INTO WESTERN ZONES LATE.
DAMAGING WIND GUSTS WILL BE THE PRIMARY CONCERN WITH THUNDERSTORMS
INTO THIS EVENING.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 PM THIS EVENING THROUGH FRIDAY/...
TONIGHT...SHOWER/TSTM ACTIVITY WILL GRADUALLY WIND DOWN AS A COLD
FRONT APPROACHES THE WESTERN ZONES LATE. THE GREATER CONVECTIVE
CHANCES WILL SHIFT INTO THE COASTAL WATERS AFTER MIDNIGHT AS A
POTENT SHORTWAVE APPROACHES FROM THE WEST. LOWS WILL RANGE FROM
THE MID 70S INLAND TO THE UPPER 70S/NEAR 80 AT THE COAST AND
IN DOWNTOWN CHARLESTON.

WEDNESDAY THROUGH FRIDAY...SHORTWAVE ENERGY JUST DOWNSTREAM OF AN
APPROACHING UPPER TROUGH AXIS WILL SHIFT OFF THE EAST COAST
WEDNESDAY...WHILE A COLD FRONT PROGRESSES INTO THE FORECAST AREA
FROM THE NORTHWEST. THE FRONT WILL LIKELY STALL JUST TO THE SOUTH
AND EAST BY THURSDAY...AS THE BROAD UPPER TROUGH EXPANDS ACROSS
THE ENTIRE EASTERN UNITED STATES FOR THE LATE WEEK PERIOD. WEAK
SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE WILL MOVE INTO THE MID ATLANTIC STATES IN
THE WAKE OF THE DESCENDING FRONT...BRINGING NOTABLY DRIER AIR INTO
THE REGION.

DEEP MOISTURE WILL LINGER NEAR THE DESCENDING FRONT ACROSS
THE FAR SOUTHEAST CORNER OF THE FORECAST AREA...YET PRECIPITABLE
WATER VALUES WILL GENERALLY FALL TO 1.5 INCHES OR LESS FOR THE
MAJORITY OF THE REGION THROUGH FRIDAY. FORECAST MODEL SOUNDINGS
ARE ALSO INDICATING A PROMINENT MID LEVEL CAPPING
INVERSION...FURTHER EVIDENCE THAT CONVECTIVE DEVELOPMENT WILL BE
SUPPRESSED WITHIN THIS PATTERN TRANSITION. NUMERICAL MODEL
SOLUTIONS ARE IN FAIRLY GOOD AGREEMENT KEEPING THE BEST CHANCE FOR
MAINLY AFTERNOON THUNDERSTORMS SOUTH OF INTERSTATE 16 IN SOUTHEAST
GEORGIA...AND HAVE THUS CONTINUED TO INDICATE A DECENT NORTH/SOUTH
GRADIENT IN RAIN CHANCES EACH AFTERNOON. EXPECT AN OVERALL
DECREASE IN COVERAGE EACH DAY...WITH SHOWER/THUNDERSTORM
POTENTIAL QUITE LOW BY THURSDAY AND FRIDAY WHEN POPS WILL BE LESS
THAN 15 PERCENT FOR THE MAJORITY OF THE SOUTH CAROLINA COUNTIES
AND INLAND GEORGIA ZONES. ANY CONVECTION OVER LAND AREAS WILL BE
MAINLY DIURNAL...WITH BEST PRECIPITATION POTENTIAL SHIFTING TO THE
COAST AND OFFSHORE DURING THE EVENING TIME FRAMES.

HIGH TEMPERATURES WILL BE WITHIN A DEGREE OR TWO OF SEASONAL
NORMALS...PEAKING IN THE LOWER 90S AWAY FROM THE LOCALLY COOLER
COASTLINE. LIGHT WINDS AND MOSTLY CLEAR SKIES EACH NIGHT WILL
SUPPORT NOTABLY COOLER LOW TEMPERATURES INLAND...RANGING FROM AS
LOW AS 69 DEGREES FAR INLAND TO THE MID 70S ALONG THE COAST.

&&

.LONG TERM /FRIDAY NIGHT THROUGH MONDAY/...
AN UPPER TROUGH PATTERN WILL PERSIST ACROSS THE ENTIRE EASTERN
UNITED STATES FOR MUCH OF THE EXTENDED PERIOD. THE REMNANTS OF THE
LATE WEEK COLD FRONT COULD MEANDER BACK THROUGH THE FORECAST AREA
ON SATURDAY...BEFORE AN INLAND SURFACE TROUGH TAKES SHAPE AND
SUPPORTS A MORE SOLID SOUTH/SOUTHWEST FLOW INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK.
MOISTURE PROFILES WILL BEGIN TO RECOVER SATURDAY AND STEADILY
INCREASE EACH DAY...ESPECIALLY AS STRONGER SHORTWAVE ENERGY SHIFTS
EAST MONDAY AND TUESDAY. CONVECTIVE COVERAGE SHOULD RETURN TO MORE
SEASONAL NORMALS...AND HAVE ADVERTISED RAIN CHANCES PEAKING IN THE
SOLID 30 PERCENT CHANCE RANGE DURING THE AFTERNOON PERIODS. HIGH
TEMPERATURES WILL VARY LITTLE THROUGH THE EXTENDED
FORECAST...GENERALLY REACHING THE LOWER 90S AWAY FROM THE LOCALLY
COOLER COASTLINE EACH DAY.

&&

.AVIATION /18Z TUESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/...
FLIGHT RESTRICTIONS ARE POSSIBLE AT BOTH CHS AND SAV TERMINALS EARLY
THIS AFTERNOON AS SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS DEVELOP AND PASS OVER
THE AREA. THE GREATEST TIME OF THUNDERSTORMS SHOULD BE BETWEEN
18-22Z. THERE IS ALSO A LOW CHANCE OF FLIGHT RESTRICTIONS LATE
TONIGHT AS A COLD FRONT SLOWLY SHIFTS OVER THE REGION...BUT
CONFIDENCE IS TOO LOW TO INCLUDE IN THE TAFS AT THIS TIME. VFR
CONDITIONS SHOULD THEN PREVAIL BY 14Z WEDNESDAY AT BOTH TERMINALS.

EXTENDED AVIATION OUTLOOK...MORE TYPICAL DIURNAL SCATTERED
SHOWERS AND STORMS ARE EXPECTED EACH AFTERNOON WITH LOWERING
CHANCES FOR FLIGHT RESTRICTIONS THROUGH LATE IN THE WEEK.

&&

.MARINE...
THIS AFTERNOON AND TONIGHT...CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED TO REMAIN
BELOW SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY LEVELS. IN GENERAL...SOUTHWEST WINDS
WILL VEER TO THE SOUTH AND INCREASE THIS AFTERNOON TO 10-15 KTS.
SEAS WILL RANGE BETWEEN 1-3 FT. WINDS WILL THEN INCREASE TO A
SOLID 15 KT...EXCEPT 15-20 KT OVER THE GEORGIA OFFSHORE
WATERS...AS A COLD FRONT APPROACHES THE WATERS FROM THE WEST
TONIGHT. SEAS SHOULD ALSO BUILD TO 2-4 FT...WITH A FEW 5 FT SEAS
POSSIBLE BEYOND 40 NM FROM THE COAST.

WEDNESDAY THROUGH SATURDAY...A COLD FRONT APPROACHING FROM THE
WEST ON WEDNESDAY WILL SUPPORT A SLIGHT TIGHTENING OF THE PRESSURE
GRADIENT...WITH A BRIEF INCREASE IN WIND SPEEDS UP TO 15 TO 20 KT
FOR PORTIONS OF THE WATERS. ONCE THE FRONT DESCENDS TO THE
SOUTHERN WATERS AND WEAKENS BY LATE WEEK...WINDS WILL BECOME
RATHER LIGHT THROUGH THE REMAINDER OF THE PERIOD.

&&

.TIDES/COASTAL FLOODING...
ANOTHER ROUND OF SHALLOW COASTAL FLOODING IS EXPECTED WITH THE
EVENING HIGH TIDE CYCLE...ESPECIALLY FOR SOUTH COASTAL SOUTH
CAROLINA. ANOTHER COASTAL FLOOD ADVISORY WILL LIKELY BE NEEDED
WITH THE AFTERNOON FORECAST PACKAGE.

&&

.EQUIPMENT...
THE CHARLESTON SC WSR-88D /KCLX/ REMAINS OUT OF SERVICE DUE TO A
SIGNIFICANT MECHANICAL FAILURE. THE CURRENT ESTIMATE HAS THE RADAR
RETURNING TO SERVICE BETWEEN AUGUST 21 AND 25.
