AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE CHARLESTON SC
1013 PM EDT WED JUN 24 2015

.SYNOPSIS...
ATLANTIC HIGH PRESSURE WILL PREVAIL MUCH OF THIS WEEK WHILE A TROUGH
OF LOW PRESSURE PERSISTS INLAND. A COLD FRONT WILL STALL TO THE
NORTH LATE WEEK INTO THE WEEKEND BEFORE FINALLY CROSSING THE AREA
SUNDAY. THE FRONT COULD STALL JUST OFFSHORE BEFORE DISSIPATING EARLY
NEXT WEEK.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM THURSDAY MORNING/...
DESPITE THE LOSS OF DAYTIME HEATING... ISOLATED CONVECTION
CONTINUES ACROSS INLAND PORTIONS OF THE FORECAST AREA AS OF LATE
EVENING...MAINLY ALONG OUTFLOW FROM EARLIER STORMS. THE LATEST
RADAR TRENDS ACTUALLY INDICATE THAT THE CONVECTION COULD BEGIN TO
INCREASE IN COVERAGE AS CONVECTION SHIFTS INTO THE AREA FROM THE
MIDLANDS INITIALLY...THEN FROM THE NORTH-NORTHEAST AS A MORE
ORGANIZED QLCS POTENTIALLY DROPS IN DURING THE EARLY OVERNIGHT
HOURS. WHILE THE HRRR SHOWS THE CONVECTION GENERALLY DISSIPATING
AS IT NEARS...NOT SO SURE IT HAS A GOOD HANDLE ON IT AS SURFACE
BASED INSTABILITY REMAINS UPWARDS OF 3500 J/KG. THE POTENTIAL IS
CERTAINLY THERE FOR A FEW STRONG/SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS GIVEN THE
ABUNDANCE OF INSTABILITY AND A RELATIVELY UNTAPPED ATMOSPHERE.
DAMAGING WIND GUSTS WOULD BE THE PRIMARY THREAT...WITH DOWNDRAFT
CAPE VALUES UPWARDS OF 1400 J/KG. FREQUENT LIGHTNING IS ALSO
POSSIBLE IF THE QLCS HOLDS TOGETHER.

EXTENSIVE CONVECTIVE DEBRIS CLOUDINESS HAS OVERSPREAD THE AREA
AND MORE IS ON THE WAY GIVEN THE UPSTREAM CONVECTION. THE FORECAST
THEREFORE INDICATES CLOUD SKIES INTO THE EARLY OVERNIGHT
HOURS...WITH SOME CLEARING POSSIBLE LATE AS THE DEBRIS CLOUDINESS
BEGINS TO THIN/DISSIPATE. GIVEN THE CLOUD COVER AND A COUPLED
SOUTHWEST SYNOPTIC FLOW...HAVE RAISED FORECAST LOWS BY A DEGREE OR
TWO ACROSS THE AREA. THE FORECAST NOW INDICATES LOWS IN THE MID TO
UPPER 70S INLAND FROM THE WARMER BEACHES/BARRIER ISLANDS.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 AM THURSDAY MORNING THROUGH SATURDAY/...
THURSDAY...A LARGE MID LVL RIDGE OF HIGH PRESSURE WILL PERSIST OVER
THE AREA. AT THE SFC...THE AREA WILL BE POSITIONED ALONG THE WESTERN
PERIPHERY OF ATLANTIC HIGH PRESSURE WHILE A PIEDMONT TROUGH BECOMES
SLIGHTLY MORE PRONOUNCED WITH A LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM TRACKING OVER
THE MID ATLANTIC STATES. DESPITE LARGE SCALE SINKING MOTION
ASSOCIATED WITH HIGH PRESSURE ALOFT...THE PROXIMITY OF THE LOW
PRESSURE TROUGH INLAND AND A STALLING COLD FRONT TO OUR NORTH SHOULD
SUPPORT A SLIGHT CHANCE TO LOW-END CHANCE OF SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS DURING AFTERNOON/EVENING HOURS. DCAPES IN EXCESS OF
1000 J/KG SUGGEST DAMAGING WIND GUST POTENTIAL WITH A FEW STRONGER
THUNDERSTORMS THAT DEVELOP. HOWEVER...THE THREAT OF WIDESPREAD
SEVERE WEATHER IS NOT EXPECTED.

THE MAIN CONCERN ON THURSDAY WILL BE HEAT/HUMIDITY LEVELS...WHICH
WILL BE DEPENDENT ON HOW MUCH CONVECTIVE ACTIVITY OCCURS BEFORE
TYPICAL PEAK HEATING HOURS. AT THIS TIME...HIGH TEMPS ARE FORECAST
TO REACH THE MID/UPPER 90S...WARMEST INLAND. HOWEVER...STRONG
HEATING SHOULD MIX OUT SFC DEWPTS TO AROUND 70 INLAND...WHILE DEWPTS
REMAIN IN THE MID 70S NEAR/BEHIND AN INLAND MOVING SEABREEZE. THESE
TEMPS AND MOISTURE LEVELS SHOULD SUPPORT HEAT INDEX VALUES NEAR 105
DEGREES FOR A FEW HOURS THURSDAY AFTERNOON AND A HEAT ADVISORY COULD
EVENTUALLY BE NEEDED. HOWEVER...SHOULD CLOUD COVER OR PRECIP SHIFT
OVER THE AREA EARLY...HEAT INDEX VALUES WILL LIKELY FALL JUST SHORT
OF ADVISORY LEVELS. OVERNIGHT LOWS WILL REMAIN MILD...IN THE
MID/UPPER 70S INLAND TO LOWER 80S ALONG THE COAST.

FRIDAY AND SATURDAY...MODELS INDICATE LOWERING 500 MB HEIGHTS OVER
THE AREA THIS WEEKEND AS THE MID LVL RIDGE OF HIGH PRESSURE WEAKENS
IN RESPONSE TO A TROUGH OF LOW PRESSURE DIGGING OVER THE
MIDWEST/GREAT LAKES REGION. MOISTURE LEVELS ARE EXPECTED TO INCREASE
AHEAD OF THE APPROACHING TROUGH...WITH PWATS PROJECTED TO BE NEAR
2.0 INCHES OVER THE SOUTHEASTERN UNITED STATES. THESE MOISTURE
LEVELS ALONG WITH INCREASED FORCING FROM A SFC LOW THAT DEVELOPS
ALONG A STALLED FRONT TO OUR NORTH...WILL LIKELY RESULT IN AT LEAST
CHANCES OF SHOWERS/THUNDERSTORMS ON FRIDAY. BY SATURDAY...GREATER
FORCING AND SHEAR WILL LIKELY ARRIVE AS STRONGER WIND FIELDS ROUND
THE SOUTHERN PERIPHERY OF THE MID/UPPER LOW CENTERED OVER THE GREAT
LAKES REGION. SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL LIKELY OCCUR SATURDAY
AFTERNOON...WITH SOME STRONGER THUNDERSTORMS POSSIBLE AHEAD OF A SFC
COLD FRONT MAKING WAY INTO THE SOUTHEASTERN UNITED STATES. DAMAGING
WIND GUSTS APPEAR TO BE THE MAIN THREAT WITH STRONGER THUNDERSTORMS
ON SATURDAY. GIVEN THE AMPLE MOISTURE...SOME THUNDERSTORMS COULD
ALSO PRODUCE HEAVY RAINFALL.

TEMPS ARE EXPECTED TO BE SLIGHTLY COOLER OVER THE WEEKEND...WITH MAX
TEMPS IN THE LOW/MID 90S ON FRIDAY...THEN LOW 90S ON SATURDAY DUE TO
AN INCREASE IN CONVECTIVE COVERAGE. GIVEN THE COOLING TREND...HEAT
ADVISORIES WILL LIKELY NO LONGER BE NEEDED THIS WEEKEND. OVERNIGHT
LOWS SHOULD REMAIN IN THE MID/UPPER 70S.&&

&&

.LONG TERM /SATURDAY NIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
BROAD UPPER TROUGH WILL ENCOMPASS THE EASTERN U.S. THROUGH THE LONG
TERM PERIOD. A POTENT SHORTWAVE WILL SEND AN AREA OF LOW PRESSURE
AND ATTENDANT FRONT THROUGH THE FORECAST AREA ON SUNDAY. GIVEN
FORCING FROM UPPER JET...SHORTWAVE ENERGY AND COLD FRONT...IT SHOULD
BE A PRETTY ACTIVE DAY ESPECIALLY GIVEN DECENT SHEAR AND DEEP
MOISTURE. THE FRONT WILL LIKELY PUSH OFF THE COAST EARLY
MONDAY...AND REMAIN STATIONARY OFFSHORE BEFORE DISSIPATING TUESDAY.
WEAK HIGH PRESSURE IS EXPECTED TO PREVAIL BY MID WEEK. TEMPERATURES
WILL BE AT OR BELOW CLIMO THROUGH THE PERIOD.

&&

.AVIATION /02Z THURSDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...
VFR CONDITIONS WILL PREVAIL AT KCHS AND KSAV THROUGH 00Z FRIDAY.
CONVECTION COULD INCREASE IN COVERAGE ACROSS MAINLY SOUTHEAST
SOUTH CAROLINA INTO THE EARLY OVERNIGHT HOURS AND SOME MENTION OF
THUNDERSTORMS MAY NEED TO BE ADDED TO THE KCHS TAF AS RADAR TRENDS
BECOME BETTER ESTABLISHED. ADDITIONAL ISOLATED CONVECTION IN THE
VICINITY OF THE TERMINALS IS POSSIBLE THURSDAY AFTERNOON...BUT
COVERAGE IS NOT EXPECTED TO BE GREAT ENOUGH TO MENTION IN THE
TAF/S AT THIS TIME.

EXTENDED AVIATION OUTLOOK...FLIGHT RESTRICTIONS ARE POSSIBLE IN
AFTERNOON SHOWERS/THUNDERSTORMS...ESPECIALLY LATE THIS WEEKEND.

&&

.MARINE...
TONIGHT...IT/S STATUS QUO IN REGARDS TO THE SYNOPTIC PATTERN AND
RESULTING CONDITIONS ACROSS THE COASTAL WATERS...WITH SUB-TROPICAL
RIDGING TO THE SOUTH/SE...MESO-HIGH PRESSURE IN THE NE GULF OF
MEXICO AND A NE-SW ALIGNED TROUGH INLAND. ADEQUATE MIXING OF 20-25
KT GEOSTROPHIC WINDS AND A MODEST GRADIENT WILL ALLOW FOR SOUTH/SW
WINDS UP TO 15 OR 20 KT WITH OCCASIONAL HIGHER GUSTS. WAVES OF 1-2
FT WILL BE COMMON IN CHARLESTON HARBOR...WITH 2-4 FT IN THE OPEN
ATLANTIC...HIGHEST ON AMZ350-374.

THURSDAY THROUGH MONDAY...ATLANTIC HIGH PRESSURE WILL DOMINATE THE
COASTAL WATERS WHILE A TROUGH OF LOW PRESSURE PERSISTS INLAND
THROUGH LATE WEEK. A COLD FRONT IS EXPECTED TO SHIFT OVER THE WATERS
LATE WEEKEND...BEFORE EVENTUALLY STALLING/DISSIPATING EARLY NEXT
WEEK. A TIGHTENED PRESSURE GRADIENT WILL KEEP WINDS FAIRLY ELEVATED
THROUGH THE PERIOD. NOCTURNAL JETTING AND AFTERNOON SEA BREEZE
CIRCULATIONS WILL RESULT IN SOUTH/SOUTHWEST WINDS PEAKING AROUND 15-
20 KTS AT TIMES...ESPECIALLY ACROSS THE CHARLESTON COUNTY COASTAL
WATERS. WIND GUSTS COULD REACH SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY CRITERIA
SATURDAY AFTERNOON OR NIGHT...THEN SLOWLY IMPROVE EARLY NEXT WEE,
SEAS WILL MAINLY BE 2-4 FEET...BUT COULD REACH 6 FEET IN THE OUTER
PORTIONS OF THE WATERS THIS WEEKEND.
