Area forecast discussion, Aug 1, 2:16 PM EDT, 57 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE CHARLESTON SC 216 PM EDT FRI AUG 1 2014 .SYNOPSIS... A TROUGH OF LOW PRESSURE WILL LINGER NEAR THE SOUTHEAST COAST THROUGH THE MIDDLE OF NEXT WEEK. && .NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/... TODAY...AS INDICATED IN THE 12Z KCHS SOUNDING...A DEEP SOUTHWEST FLOW IS IN PLACE ALOFT AS THE REGION REMAINS POSITIONED BETWEEN AN UPPER TROUGH TO THE WEST AND RIDGING OVER THE WESTERN ATLANTIC. MEANWHILE AT THE SURFACE...A TROUGH OF LOW PRESSURE HAS SHIFTED JUST INLAND AND EXTENDS FROM THE CHARLESTON TRI-COUNTY AREA THROUGH NORTH COASTAL GEORGIA AS OF EARLY AFTERNOON. THE FOCUS FOR CONVECTION HAS TRANSITIONED FROM OVER THE COASTAL WATERS TO THE LAND MASS...WITH THE INCREASING COVERAGE IN THE AREA OF ENHANCED LOW LEVEL CONVERGENCE IN VICINITY OF THE TROUGH. AS THE DAY PROGRESSES...THE TROUGH SHOULD GRADUALLY SHIFT A BIT FARTHER INLAND. AS THIS OCCURS...THE FOCUS FOR CONVECTION SHOULD SHIFT FARTHER INLAND AS WELL. OVERALL...EXPECT SCATTERED TO NUMEROUS SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS DUE TO THE RICH LOW LEVEL MOISTURE FIELDS IN PLACE AND A SERIES OF DISTURBANCES EXPECTED TO PASS ALOFT WITHIN THE SOUTHWEST FLOW. SOME OF THE RAIN WILL BE HEAVY AT TIMES...PROVIDING A RISK FOR LOCALIZED FLOODING. HOWEVER...HAVE CANCELED THE REMAINING FLASH FLOOD WATCH FOR CHARLESTON COUNTY AS THE GREATEST FOCUS FOR CONVECTION SHOULD SHIFT INLAND OF THIS AREA. THERE COULD BE SOME MULTI-CELL CLUSTERS CAPABLE OF PRODUCING SOME STRONGER WINDS AT TIMES THIS AFTERNOON. CLOUDS WILL TEMPER HIGH TEMPS AGAIN TODAY WITH UPPER 80S TO AROUND 90 IN MANY PLACES. TONIGHT...THE RISK FOR HEAVY RAINS MAY REDEVELOP ALONG COASTAL SOUTH CAROLINA AS MOISTURE CONVERGENCE STRENGTHENS AND MOISTURE PROFILES DEEPEN. SCATTERED TO PERHAPS NUMEROUS SHOWERS AND ISOLATED TSTMS EXPECTED TO DEVELOP AFTER MIDNIGHT WITH MODELS IN GOOD CONSENSUS THAT WE WILL NEED TO WATCH FOR ADDITIONAL LOCALIZED FLOODING. && .SHORT TERM /SATURDAY THROUGH MONDAY/... A VERY UNSETTLED AND WET PATTERN WILL DOMINATE THE SOUTHEAST U.S. COAST THROUGH MONDAY WITH DEEP/TROPICAL MOISTURE FEATURING PWATS IN EXCESS OF 2 INCHES ADVECTING NORTHEAST OUT OF THE GULF OF MEXICO AND INTERACTING WITH A DECAYING COASTAL FRONT. A BROAD LONG-WAVE TROUGH EXTENDING FROM A LARGE CYCLONE OVER CANADA COUPLED WITH VARIOUS WAVES OF UPPER DIVERGENCE ASSOCIATED WITH THE RIGHT ENTRANCE AGEOSTROPHIC CIRCULATION OF THE UPPER JET WILL PROVIDE FAVORABLE PERIODS OF UPPER FORCING...WHILE AT THE SURFACE LOW-LEVEL CONVERGENCE ALONG THE COASTAL FRONT AND EVENTUAL MESOSCALE BOUNDARY INTERACTIONS WILL SUPPORT WELL ABOVE NORMAL RAIN CHANCES THROUGH THE PERIOD. LIKELY POPS OF 60-70 PERCENT WILL BE SHOWN EACH DAY WITH ACTIVITY TAPERING OFF DURING THE OVERNIGHT HOURS. HOWEVER...A SOUTHERLY FLOW REGIME ATOP THE BOUNDARY LAYER WILL SUPPORT NOCTURNAL SHOWER/TSTM ACTIVITY JUST ABOUT EACH NIGHT WITH THE BEST RAIN CHANCES OCCURRING OVER THE COASTAL COUNTIES. THERE WILL BE A CONTINUED RISK FOR LOCALLY HEAVY RAINFALL AND THE POTENTIAL FOR FLOODING WITH THE 925-700 HPA FLOW REMAINING FAIRLY LIGHT. HIGHS EACH DAY WILL WILL GENERALLY MAX OUT IN THE UPPER 80S WITH OVERNIGHT LOWS IN THE LOWER-MID 70S. && .LONG TERM /MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY/... DRIER...MORE SEASONABLE WEATHER WILL RETURN BY MID WEEK AS THE FRONT MEANDERS OFFSHORE AND DISSIPATES. ATLANTIC HIGH PRESSURE WILL GRADUALLY REESTABLISH ITSELF ACROSS THE REGION WITH MORE A MORE TYPICAL CONVECTIVE PATTERN EXPECTED. HIGHS WILL BE IN THE UPPER 80S TO LOWER 90S WITH LOWS IN THE LOWER-MID 70S. TROPICAL STORM BERTHA IS FORECAST TO REMAIN OFFSHORE AS IT CURVES WELL OFF THE SOUTHEAST U.S. COAST. && .AVIATION /18Z FRIDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/... KCHS...SHOWERS AND TSTMS WILL OCCUR IN THE VICINITY OF A TROUGH OF LOW PRESSURE JUST INLAND FROM THE COAST. HAVE INCLUDED TEMPORARY TSTMS WITH SOME FLIGHT RESTRICTIONS FROM 18-21Z...BEFORE THE TROUGH AND MOST OF THE CONVECTION SHIFT FARTHER INLAND OF THE TERMINAL. SHOWERS COULD REDEVELOP OVERNIGHT...BUT WILL ONLY PUT THEM IN THE VICINITY OF THE TERMINAL FROM 06-15Z. THEN...SHOWERS AND TSTMS WILL BECOME NUMEROUS BY LATE MORNING WITH THE FORECAST SHOWING PREVAILING SHOWERS AND VICINITY TSTMS AFTER 15Z. KSAV...SHOWERS AND TSTMS WILL IMPACT THE TERMINAL AT TIMES THROUGH 22Z IN VICINITY OF A TROUGH OF LOW PRESSURE JUST INLAND FROM THE COAST. THE FORECAST MAINTAINS VICINITY TSTMS THROUGH 22Z...BEFORE THE TROUGH AND MOST OF THE CONVECTION SHIFT FARTHER INLAND OF THE TERMINAL. SHOWERS COULD REDEVELOP OVERNIGHT...BUT WILL ONLY PUT THEM IN THE VICINITY OF THE TERMINAL FROM 06-15Z. THERE IS SOME CONCERN THAT LOW CLOUDS AND POSSIBLY SOME FOG COULD DEVELOP LATE TONIGHT...SO HAVE A TEMPO GROUP FOR MVFR CONDITIONS FROM 08-12Z. THEN...SHOWERS AND TSTMS WILL BECOME NUMEROUS BY LATE MORNING WITH THE FORECAST SHOWING PREVAILING SHOWERS AND VICINITY TSTMS AFTER 15Z. EXTENDED AVIATION OUTLOOK...PERIODS OF IFR/MVFR LIKELY THROUGH TUESDAY AS NUMEROUS SHOWERS/TSTMS IMPACT THE REGION. && .MARINE... ONSHORE FLOW MORE SOUTHEASTERLY ON THE ATLC SIDE OF A SURFACE TROUGH ALONG THE COAST THROUGH TONIGHT. SPEEDS MAINLY BELOW 15 KT WITH SEAS 2 TO 4 FT ON AVERAGE...HIGHEST BEYOND 20 NM OFF THE COAST. SHOWERS AND TSTMS WILL BE PERIODIC AND MAINLY NOCTURNAL...LOWERING VSBYS AT TIMES. SATURDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY...PINNING DOWN WIND DIRECTION WILL BE TRICKY OVER THE WEEKEND AS A STATIONARY FRONT MEANDERS VERY NEAR THE COAST. SPEEDS LOOK TO REMAIN LIGHT HOWEVER AND SHOULD NOT POSE A CHALLENGE TO MARINERS. WINDS WILL RETURN TO A MORE CLIMATOLOGICALLY FAVORED SOUTHERLY REGIME BY MID WEEK AS ATLANTIC HIGH PRESSURE TAKES HOLD. SWELLS GENERATED BY TROPICAL STORM BERTHA COULD IMPACT THE WATERS MONDAY INTO WEDNESDAY AS IT CURVES WELL OFFSHORE OF THE SOUTHEAST U.S. COAST. THERE IS A POSSIBILITY THAT COMBINED SEAS COULD REACH SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY THRESHOLDS DURING THIS PERIOD...BUT ITS A BIT TOO FAR TO REALLY PIN THAT DOWN THIS FAR OUT. SEAS WILL BE CAPPED AT 4-5 FT FOR NOW. && .CHS WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... GA...NONE. SC...NONE. MARINE...NONE. && NEAR TERM...JAQ SHORT TERM...ST LONG TERM... AVIATION...JAQ/ST MARINE...ST
