AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE CHARLESTON SC
604 PM EDT WED AUG 19 2015

.SYNOPSIS...
ATLANTIC HIGH PRESSURE WILL PREVAIL THROUGH LATE WEEK WHILE AN
INLAND TROUGH OF LOW PRESSURE AND WEAK COLD FRONT EVENTUALLY
APPROACH FROM THE NORTHWEST. THE FRONT WILL DISSIPATE OVER OR NEAR
THE AREA SATURDAY...WITH HIGH PRESSURE TO RETURN SUNDAY. ANOTHER
COLD FRONT WILL APPROACH EARLY NEXT WEEK.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM THURSDAY MORNING/...
THIS EVENING...A QUICK UPDATE WAS ISSUED TO REFLECT SHORT TERM
CONVECTIVE TRENDS.

1. INCREASED POPS TO 60 PERCENT ACROSS BERKELEY COUNTY WHERE A
CLUSTER OF SHOWERS/TSTMS WILL PERSIST FOR ANOTHER 1-2 HOURS.

2. INCREASED POPS TO 60 PERCENT ACROSS LONG...MCINTOSH AND
LIBERTY COUNTIES. CONVECTION MOVING OUT OF FAR SOUTHEAST GEORGIA
WILL CROSS THE ALTAMAHA RIVER BY 7 PM. THIS ACTIVITY POSES A RISK
FOR AN ISOLATED STRONG/SEVERE TSTM.

3. MAINTAINED 50 PERCENT POPS ACROSS INTERIOR SOUTHEAST GEORGIA
WHERE CONVECTION OVER EAST-CENTRAL GEORGIA WILL MEANDER EAST AND
INTERACT WITH THE INLAND MOVING SEA BREEZE.

OVERNIGHT...COVERAGE OF SHOWERS/THUNDERSTORMS SHOULD GRADUALLY
DIMINISH LATER THIS EVENING AND OVERNIGHT...AND POPS WELL INLAND
DECREASE TO LESS THAN 15 PERCENT AFTER MIDNIGHT.
THEN...ISOLATED/SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS ARE EXPECTED TO DEVELOP
OVER COASTAL WATERS LATER TONIGHT...AND SOME OF THIS CONVECTION
COULD PUSH ONSHORE INTO COASTAL COUNTIES LATE.
OTHERWISE...TEMPERATURES SHOULD BOTTOM OUT IN THE MID/UPPER 70S
MOST AREAS...AND DEWPOINTS IN THE MID/UPPER 70S WILL ALSO REMAIN
COMMON.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 AM THURSDAY MORNING THROUGH SATURDAY/...
THURSDAY...THE FORECAST AREA WILL REMAIN ON THE EASTERN SIDE OF A
LONGWAVE UPPER TROUGH WHILE A SOUTHERN STREAM SHORTWAVE PUSHES
THROUGH THE CENTRAL APPALACHIANS INTO THE CAROLINAS. THE ECMWF AND
GFS KEEP THE SHORTWAVE MAINLY ACROSS NC...WHILE THE NAM SHOWS A
SOUTHERN PERTURBATION MOVING INTO CENTRAL/EASTERN SC MIDDAY
THURSDAY. PWATS PRECEDING THE SHORTWAVE WILL BE QUITE HIGH WITH
VALUES EXCEEDING 2.25" OVER MOST COASTAL LOCALES. WE ARE SHOWING
POPS MAXING OUT IN THE 40-50 PERCENT RANGE EARLY TO MID AFTERNOON
OVER SOUTHERN SC WHICH IS CLOSER TO THE INFLUENCE OF THE UPPER VORT.
LATER IN THE DAY ADDITIONAL ACTIVITY MAY DEVELOP FARTHER SOUTH AS
THE INLAND SURFACE TROUGH SHIFTS TO THE EAST AND THE SEA BREEZE
TRIGGERS CONVECTION. LOCALLY HEAVY RAINFALL WILL CONTINUE TO BE A
CONCERN.

FRIDAY INTO SATURDAY...THE UPPER RIDGE GRADUALLY BUILDS ACROSS THE
SOUTHEAST UNITED STATES WHILE CANADIAN HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS
SOUTHEAST. A WEAK FRONT WILL DROP INTO THE AREA FRIDAY...EVENTUALLY
STALLING ACROSS SOUTHERN AREAS ON SATURDAY. PWATS ON FRIDAY WILL
REMAIN ABOVE 2" THOUGH VALUES WILL DROP OFF OVER SOUTHERN SC AND FAR
INLAND GA BY SATURDAY AS THE FRONT SHIFTS SOUTH. SLIGHTLY BETTER
RAIN CHANCES EXPECTED FRIDAY DUE TO DEEPER MOISTURE AND THE FRONT
DRAPED ACROSS THE AREA. BY SATURDAY THE COVERAGE WILL BE MORE
ISOLATED.

&&

.LONG TERM /SATURDAY NIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
ALOFT THE FLOW WILL START OFF NEARLY ZONAL AND WILL GRADUALLY TURN
MORE CYCLONIC THROUGH EARLY NEXT WEEK. THE MAIN FEATURE WILL BE A
WEAK COLD FRONT THAT APPROACHES THE AREA AS EARLY AS MONDAY AND THEN
LINGERS AROUND THROUGH TUESDAY. POPS START OFF LOWEST ON
SUNDAY...AND THEN GRADUALLY INCREASE MONDAY AND TUESDAY.
TEMPERATURES ARE EXPECTED TO HOVER AROUND NORMAL FOR LATE AUGUST.

&&

.AVIATION /22Z WEDNESDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...
AT KCHS...HEAVY RAIN SHOULD REMAIN SOUTH OF KCHS THROUGH 22Z...BUT
THUNDER WILL BE HEARD AT THE AIRPORT UNTIL THAT TIME. AT KSAV...
MAINTAINED VCTS UNTIL 22-23Z...AND WILL AMEND TAFS AS NEEDED TO
ADDRESS NEAR TERM CONVECTIVE TRENDS. THUNDERSTORMS COULD AGAIN
DEVELOP CLOSE TO TERMINALS BY THURSDAY AFTERNOON. OUTSIDE
THUNDERSTORMS...MAINLY VFR THROUGH 18Z...ALTHOUGH IF/WHERE HEAVY
RAIN OCCURS LOCALIZED STRATUS AND/OR GROUND FOG COULD DEVELOP
AROUND DAYBREAK THURSDAY.

EXTENDED AVIATION...VFR CONDITIONS WILL PREVAIL...WITH THE POTENTIAL
FOR SHORT-LIVED PERIODS OF FLIGHT RESTRICTIONS DUE TO AFTERNOON/EVENING
SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS. CHANCES WILL BE HIGHEST THURSDAY AND
FRIDAY...LOWER THEREAFTER.

&&

.MARINE...
TONIGHT...SOUTH/SOUTHEAST WINDS WILL VEER SOUTH/SOUTHWEST
OVERNIGHT WITH WINDS GENERALLY 10-15 KT. THERE WILL BE A RISK FOR
STRONG TSTMS ACROSS THE GEORGIA NEARSHORE WATERS THROUGH EARLY
EVENING. SEAS WILL AVERAGE 2-4 FT.

THURSDAY THROUGH SUNDAY...A WEAK FRONT WILL PUSH OFF THE COAST BY
FRIDAY AND DISSIPATE THROUGH SATURDAY. HIGH PRESSURE WILL RETURN
FROM THE NORTH SATURDAY NIGHT INTO SUNDAY. OVERALL...WINDS WILL BE A
BIT ERRATIC...AND WITH A WEAK GRADIENT IN PLACE...WILL REMAIN BELOW
15 KT ESPECIALLY BEYOND THURSDAY NIGHT. SEAS WILL GENERALLY RANGE 1
