AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE CHARLESTON SC
1213 PM EDT TUE AUG 19 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 PM THIS EVENING/...
LATE TUESDAY MORNING...RAISED POPS ALONG/SOUTH OF 1-16 TO ACCOUNT
FOR MULTICELL THUNDERSTORMS ADVANCING INTO THIS AREA AND
DEVELOPING UPSTREAM.

AREA 12Z SOUNDINGS SAMPLED AN UNSEASONABLY STRONG/DEEP WESTERLY
FLOW REGIME IN PLACE OVER THE REGION...WITH 925-500 MB WINDS
RANGING FROM 15-25 KT OVER SOUTHERN COUNTIES TO 25-30 KT ACROSS
THE NORTH. LATE-MORNING MESOANALYSIS REVEALED A N-S STABILITY
GRADIENT OVER THE REGION WITH MLCAPES 2000-2500 J/KG AND DCAPES
600-800 J/KG ALONG/SOUTH OF I-16. THUNDERSTORMS MOVING INTO THIS
AREA WERE SUPPORTED BY A BAND OF 0-1 KM BULK SHEAR 20-25 KT AND
WERE PUSHING QUICKLY EAST 30-35 KT. THIS REGIME WILL SUPPORT AN
ISOLATED DAMAGING WIND THREAT AS ADDITIONAL MULTICELL
THUNDERSTORMS IMPACT SOUTHERN COUNTIES WITH ELEVATED POPS THIS
AFTERNOON.

FARTHER NORTH...A WELL-DEFINED SHORTWAVE ADVANCING THROUGH THE SC
MIDLANDS WILL PUSH QUICKLY TOWARD THE UPPER SC COAST THIS
AFTERNOON. THIS FEATURE SHOULD SUPPORT SCATTERED MULTICELL
THUNDERSTORMS WHICH WILL LIKELY PUSH INTO AREAS NORTH OF I-16 THIS
AFTERNOON. EVEN IN THIS AREA...SCATTERED/FAST-MOVING MULTICELL
THUNDERSTORMS AND MLCAPES AS HIGH AS 1500-2000 J/KG WILL SUPPORT
AN ISOLATED THREAT FOR BRIEF/DAMAGING WIND GUSTS.

OUTSIDE THUNDERSTORMS...EXPECT ANOTHER HOT AFTERNOON WITH TEMPS
WARMING TO MID 90S AT MANY LOCATIONS. OFFSHORE FLOW WILL PUSH 90S
TO THE BEACHES BEFORE THE SEA BREEZE DEVELOP MID TO LATE
AFTERNOON. AS ALWAYS...THUNDERSTORMS WILL GREATLY ALTER LOCAL
TEMPS.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 PM THIS EVENING THROUGH FRIDAY/...
THIS EVENING...A SECONDARY UPPER DISTURBANCE WILL FOLLOW THE LEAD
SHORT WAVE AND MAY KEEP SOME CONVECTION GOING A WHILE AFTER SUNSET
MAINLY ALONG/EAST OF I-95. BY LATE EVENING... CONDITIONS SHOULD
QUIET DOWN WITH A STEADY LOW LEVEL PRES GRADIENT OVER THE REGION
SUGGESTING FOG WILL NOT BE AN ISSUE.

A HOT PATTERN IS IN STORE FOR THE MID-TERM PERIOD DUE TO STRONG
UPPER RIDGING AND DEEP WESTERLY FLOW. ALTHOUGH SOME MID LEVEL
CAPPING WILL BE PRESENT...WEAK SHORTWAVE PERTURBATIONS ROTATING
AROUND THE UPPER RIDGE EACH DAY WILL SUPPORT ISOLATED MAINLY
AFTERNOON AND EVENING SHOWERS AND TSTMS. HIGH TEMPS ALL THREE DAYS
WILL BE IN THE UPPER 90S...THOUGH THURSDAY LOOKS THE WARMEST DUE TO
THE GREATEST UPPER HEIGHTS AND STRONGEST DOWNSLOPE FLOW. A FEW
TRIPLE DIGIT READINGS ARE EXPECTED ACROSS INLAND AREAS ON THURSDAY.
MODEL SOUNDINGS SHOW SOME DRIER AIR MIXING DOWN DURING THE HOURS OF
PEAK HEATING...SO THE BEST CHANCE OF ANY AREAS HITTING A HEAT INDEX
OF 110 WOULD BE MID TO LATE AFTERNOON WITHIN 50 OR SO MILES OF THE
COAST WHEN THE SEA BREEZE MOVES INLAND. FOR NOW WE ARE SHOWING MAX
HEAT INDICES OF 105 TO 109 ALL THREE DAYS AND WILL MAINTAIN A MENTION
OF POSSIBLE HEAT ADVISORIES IN THE HAZARDOUS WEATHER OUTLOOK.

&&

.LONG TERM /FRIDAY 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 /16Z TUESDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/...
SHOWERS/THUNDERSTORMS ARE EXPECTED TO REDEVELOP...BY MIDDAY
AROUND SAVANNAH WHERE THE PROBABILITY FOR DIRECT IMPACTS ARE
HIGH...AND EARLY/MID AFTERNOON AT KCHS...WHERE CB/VCTS ARE
FORECAST. GUSTY/SHIFTING WINDS/FLIGHT RESTRICTIONS WILL ACCOMPANY
ANY THUNDERSTORMS. WILL AMEND TAFS AS NEEDED BASED ON NEAR TERM
CONVECTIVE TRENDS.

OUTSIDE OF THESE EPISODES...VFR THROUGH TONIGHT.

EXTENDED AVIATION OUTLOOK...MAINLY VFR WED THROUGH FRI. INCREASING
CHANCES FOR FLIGHT RESTRICTIONS SAT INTO SUN AS A FRONT DROPS
THROUGH. COULD SEE SOME LOW CEILINGS AND/OR VSBYS WITH THE FRONT
ALONG WITH INCREASING CHANCES FOR SHOWERS AND TSTMS.

&&

.MARINE...
OFFSHORE WINDS 15-20 KT WILL TURN TOWARD THE SW AS THE SEA BREEZE
CIRCULATION DEVELOPS THIS AFTERNOON. SEAS WILL RANGE FROM 2-4 FT
WITHIN NEARSHORE WATERS TO 4-5 FT BEYOND 20 NM. ELEVATED W/SW WINDS
WILL CONTINUE TONIGHT.

LAND-BASED TSTMS WILL READILY SHIFT OVER THE WATERS THIS
AFTERNOON AND EVENING. SOME OF STORMS COULD PRODUCE GUSTY WINDS IN
EXCESS OF 35 KT AND DEADLY LIGHTNING STRIKES. CONVECTION OVER THE
WATERS WILL DIMINISH LATE IN THE EVENING AND OVERNIGHT.

SW FLOW WILL PREVAIL WEDNESDAY THROUGH FRIDAY BEFORE WINDS SWITCH
AROUND TO NE OR ENE BEHIND A COLD FRONT OVER THE WEEKEND. OCCASIONAL
WIND SURGES ARE POSSIBLE THOUGH IN GENERAL WINDS WILL BE LESS THAN
15 KT WITH SEAS LESS THAN 4 FT.
