AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE CHARLESTON SC
546 PM EDT MON AUG 18 2014

.SYNOPSIS...
THROUGH FRIDAY...ATLANTIC HIGH PRESSURE WILL REMAIN SOUTHEAST
OF THE REGION AND A TROUGH OF LOW PRESSURE WILL PREVAIL INLAND.
A COLD FRONT WILL ADVANCE THROUGH THE AREA THIS WEEKEND...THEN
HIGH PRESSURE WILL BUILD FROM THE NORTH INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM TUESDAY MORNING/...
EARLY MONDAY EVENING...ADJUSTED POPS BASED ON RECENT/EXPECTED NEAR
TERM TRENDS.

INTO THIS EVENING...MULTIPLE MESOSCALE BOUNDARIES EMBEDDED WITHIN
DEEP LAYER WESTERLY FLOW AND A PERSISTENT LOW-LEVEL POOL OF
HIGH THETA-E AIR WILL CONTINUE TO SUPPORT ISOLATED/SCATTERED
THUNDERSTORMS WHICH WILL GENERALLY MOVE TOWARD THE EAST AT 15-20
MPH.

850-500 MB WINDS 20-25 KT...MLCAPES 2500-3500 J/KG AND DCAPES
EXCEEDING 1000 J/KG SUGGEST THAT MULTICELL THUNDERSTORMS COULD
PRODUCE ISOLATED/DAMAGING WIND GUSTS. MAINTAINED A MENTION OF
ISOLATED SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS WITHIN THE HAZARDOUS WEATHER
OUTLOOK.

AFTER DARK...DIURNAL STABILIZATION WILL TRANSLATE TO A GRADUAL
DECREASE IN THUNDERSTORMS COVERAGE/INTENSITY. AFTER MIDNIGHT...POPS
TAPER TO LESS THAN 15 PERCENT ALL AREAS. CLOUDS LEFT BEHIND BY
EVENING CONVECTION SHOULD THIN WITH TIME.

LOW TEMPS BY DAYBREAK WILL AVERAGE IN THE MID 70S MOST AREAS...
CLOSE TO 80F AT THE COAST AND PERHAPS ISOLATED LOWER 70S WHERE
RAIN FALLS FAR INLAND.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 AM TUESDAY MORNING THROUGH THURSDAY/...
TUESDAY...THE LARGE SCALE PATTERN SHOWS A SUB-TROPICAL RIDGE ALIGNED
EAST-WEST ACROSS THE SW ATLANTIC...FLORIDA AND INTO THE GULF OF
MEXICO. WE/RE SITUATED ON THE NORTHERN SIDE OF THIS FEATURE WITHIN A
FAIRLY ZONAL FLOW ALOFT. WHILE WE STILL DO HAVE SOME CAP IN PLACE
DURING THE MORNING...A FAIRLY WELL PRONOUNCED SHORT WAVE...LOCATED
IN THE WESTERN TN VALLEY THIS EVENING WILL ARRIVE DURING THE
AFTERNOON. IT/LL TAP INTO CONSIDERABLE PWATS GREATER THAN 2 INCHES
AND A MOISTURE PROFILE THAT EXTENDS THROUGH MUCH OF THE TROPOSPHERE.
CONVECTION WILL START DEVELOP ALONG THE RESULTANT SEA BREEZE DURING
THE EARLY AND MID AFTERNOON AS WE HIT OUR CONVECTIVE TEMPS. BUT
ADDITIONAL ACTIVITY WILL TRIGGER JUST UPSTREAM IN RESPONSE TO
DIFFERENTIAL HEATING BOUNDARIES AND DUE TO THE PROXIMITY TO THE
INLAND SURFACE TROUGH. SOME ORGANIZATION OF STORMS WILL LIKELY OCCUR
IN RESPONSE TO THE APPROACHING SHORT WAVE...WITH THE GREATEST
COVERAGE TO OCCUR ACROSS OUR CHARLESTON QUAD-COUNTY WHERE 50 POPS
HAVE BEEN INTRODUCED. FURTHER SOUTH/SW WE HAVE ALSO SHOWN CHANCE
POPS...BUT MAINLY IN THE 30-40 PERCENTILE. THERMODYNAMICS AREN/T
OVERLY IMPRESSIVE...BUT EVEN SO MLCAPES 2500-3500 J/KG AND DCAPES
AROUND 1000 J/KG SUGGEST A POTENTIAL FOR ISOLATED AND BRIEF WET
MICROBURSTS.

IT/LL BE ANOTHER HOT AND HUMID DAY WITH 850 TEMPS RISING TO NEAR
19-20C AIDED BY DOWNSLOPE FETCH OFF THE APPALACHIANS WITHIN A DEEP
WESTERLY FLOW. BUT ACTUAL MAX TEMPS WILL BE DETERMINED BY THE ONSET
OF SHOWERS/T-STORMS AND THE THICKER/WIDESPREAD CLOUD COVER. FOR NOW
WE HAVE PLAYED A MORE CONSERVATIVE MID-UPPER 90S...WITH EVEN 90 OR
LOWER 90S AT THE COAST PRIOR TO THE SEA BREEZE FORMATION. DEW POINTS
WON/T BE ABLE TO MIX OUT MUCH WITH PLENTIFUL MOISTURE...AND WHEN
COMBINED WITH THESE TEMPS WILL SUPPORT A MAX HEAT INDEX OF
103-108...OR A LITTLE SHY OF THE HEAT ADVISORY CRITERIA. A FEW
COMMUNITIES NEAR THE COAST COULD BRIEFLY HIT A HEAT INDEX OF 110
DEGREES WITH POOLING OF DEW POINTS NEAR THE PASSAGE OF THE SEA
BREEZE. BUT THIS WOULD BE A SHORT-LIVED OCCURRENCE AND ENCOMPASS TOO
SMALL OF AN AREA TO REQUIRE ANY HEAT ADVISORY.

WEDNESDAY THROUGH THURSDAY...THE PATTERN ALOFT WILL AMPLIFY THROUGH
THE PERIOD AS A THE MID/UPPER LOW OVER THE GREAT LAKES WEDNESDAY
WILL HEAD TOWARD THE MASON-DIXON LINE THURSDAY. SIMULTANEOUSLY THE
SUB-TROPICAL ANTICYCLONE OVER THE GULF WILL EXPAND NORTHWARD. RISING
MID LEVEL HEIGHTS...850 MB TEMPS CLIMBING ANOTHER DEGREE OR SO AND
AN EXPANSION OF THE LOW LEVEL THICKNESS IMPLIES THAT THE HEAT WILL
BE CRANKED UP.

WITH NVA ACROSS THE REGION WEDNESDAY THERE IS LITTLE CHANCE OF
CONVECTION...AND AT BEST ONLY HINTS OF A WEAK SHORT WAVE WITHIN THE
NW FLOW THURSDAY. FOR NOW WE/LL GO WITH ONLY SLIGHT CHANCE POPS EACH
AFTERNOON/EVENING WITH THE WARM MID LEVELS AND ASSOCIATED SUBSIDENCE
CAP...WITH THE OPTION TO INCREASE POPS ON THURSDAY SHOULD A BETTER
DEFINED FEATURE INDEED ARRIVE.

GIVEN THE LIMITATION OF SHOWERS/T-STORMS WE LOOK FOR TEMPS TO CLIMB
ANOTHER DEGREE OR TWO EACH DAY...PERHAPS MAKING A RUN FOR RECORDS
AND MAYBE EVEN THE CENTURY MARK IN A COUPLE OF SPOTS /SEE THE
CLIMATE SECTION BELOW MORE ADDITIONAL INFORMATION/. THERE WILL BE
SOME MIXING OUT OF AFTERNOON DEW POINTS WITH THE DEEP OFFSHORE
TRAJECTORIES...BUT WE CERTAINLY COULD BE CLOSE TO OUR HEAT INDEX
CRITERIA OF 110 DEGREES BOTH AFTERNOONS...ESPECIALLY THURSDAY.

&&

.LONG TERM /THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH MONDAY/...
THE UPPER RIDGE AXIS TO OUR WEST WILL BECOME MORE AMPLIFIED WHILE A
TROUGH CARVES OUT ACROSS THE MID-ATLANTIC REGION. MEDIUM RANGE
GUIDANCE IS IN GOOD AGREEMENT THAT A BACKDOOR COLD FRONT WILL DROP
TOWARD THE AREA ON FRIDAY...PUSHING THROUGH ON SATURDAY.
COMPRESSIONAL HEATING ON FRIDAY AHEAD OF THE FRONT WILL YIELD HIGHS
IN THE MID TO UPPER 90S. SOMEWHAT COOLER CANADIAN HIGH PRESSURE
BUILDS IN FROM THE NORTH SUNDAY INTO MONDAY WITH INCREASING RAIN
CHANCES AS BETTER CONVERGENCE DEVELOPS.

&&

.AVIATION /22Z MONDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/...
MAINLY VFR CONDITIONS THROUGH 18Z TUESDAY. THUNDERSTORMS SHOULD
DEVELOP IN THE VICINITY OF THE TERMINALS INTO THIS EVENING. WILL
AMEND AS DICTATED BY NEAR TERM CONVECTIVE TRENDS. THUNDERSTORMS
WILL REDEVELOP TUESDAY...BUT MOST LIKELY NOT BEFORE 18Z.

EXTENDED AVIATION OUTLOOK...DECENT SHOT AT FLIGHT RESTRICTIONS IN
SCATTERED SHRA/TSRA TUESDAY AFTERNOON/EVENING AS A DISTURBANCE MOVES
BY IN THE MID LEVELS OF THE ATMOSPHERE. THEN VFR MUCH OF THE TIME
THROUGH FRIDAY...WITH THE NEXT GOOD CHANCE OF SUB-VFR WEATHER TO
OCCUR SATURDAY AS A COLD FRONT MOVES IN WITH SCATTERED SHRA/TSRA.

&&

.MARINE...
ANY THUNDERSTORMS WHICH EMERGE FROM LAND COULD PRODUCE STRONG WIND
GUSTS THROUGH THIS EVENING.

OUTSIDE ANY THUNDERSTORMS...THE SEA BREEZE WILL GIVE WAY TO ANOTHER
ROUND OF ELEVATED SW WINDS TONIGHT. CAPPED WINDS AT 20 KT...BUT
ISOLATED GUSTS AS HIGH AS 25 KT CANNOT BE RULED OUT ESPECIALLY
WITHIN AMZ350 AND AMZ374. WINDS WILL THEN VEER TOWARD THE W/SW AND
WILL DIMINISH AS THE LAND BREEZE DEVELOPS LATER TONIGHT. SEAS WILL
RANGE FROM 2-4 FT WITHIN NEARSHORE WATERS TO AS HIGH AS 4-5 FT
BEYOND 20 NM.

TUESDAY...WINDS WILL BE SOMEWHAT ELEVATED ACROSS THE MARINE
COMMUNITY FOR MID-LATE AUGUST...WITH A SOMEWHAT ENHANCED GRADIENT
BETWEEN THE SUB-TROPICAL ATLANTIC RIDGE TO THE SE AND SOUTH AND AN
INLAND TROUGH TO THE NW. GIVEN SOME BOOST FROM THE SEA BREEZE
CIRCULATIONS SW AND SOUTH WINDS WILL PEAK AS HIGH AS 15-20 KT. SEAS
WILL HOLD AT OR BELOW 4 FT. MARINERS ARE ADVISED THAT SOME STRONGER
STORMS WILL MOVE OFF THE COAST IN THE LATE AFTERNOON AND EARLY AT
NIGHT. SOME OF THESE WILL PRODUCE FREQUENT LIGHTNING STRIKES...HEAVY
RAINS AND POSSIBLE WIND GUSTS IN EXCESS OF 30-40 KT.

WEDNESDAY THROUGH THURSDAY...THE PATTERN TRENDS TOWARD MORE TRANQUIL
CONDITIONS AS THE GRADIENT GRADUALLY RELAXES BETWEEN THE INLAND
TROUGH AND THE RIDGING ACROSS FLORIDA. WEST AND SW WINDS WILL HOLD
UNDER 10 OR 15 KT AND SEA AT OR BELOW 3 FT.

FRIDAY THROUGH SATURDAY...AN UPSTREAM COLD FRONT WILL APPROACH
FRIDAY AND LOOKS TO SHIFTS THROUGH ON SATURDAY...AS WINDS CLOCK
AROUND TO THE NE. EVEN SO WE DON/T ANTICIPATE THE NEED FOR ANY SMALL
CRAFT ADVISORY HEADLINES.
