Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Columbia SC
150 PM EDT FRI SEP 2 2016

.SYNOPSIS...
Tropical Storm Hermine will continue to lift northeastward today
and move across South Carolina this afternoon then exit the region
by Saturday morning. Very heavy rainfall expected across the
region through tonight. Behind Hermine, drier and cooler high
pressure will build into the region for the weekend.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...
A Tornado Watch in effect for the extreme eastern portions of the
forecast area until 4pm this afternoon. Tropical Storm Hermine
made landfall earlier this morning along the Big Bend area of the
Florida coast and is now just west of SAV. A frontal boundary
that pushed into the area Thursday evening extends from off the NC
coast to near Florence to near Atlanta. Latest regional radar
shows generally moderate rainfall occurring in the vicinity of the
front from southeast NC across northern/central SC into northern
GA while the northern edge of the rain shield associated with
Hermine continues to push into southern and central SC.

No major changes to the ongoing forecasts at this time. Latest
3-hr Dual Pol radar estimates so far indicate amounts ranging
from generally less than 1 inch in the extreme west to 3.5 to 4
inches in portions of the southern Midlands. Flooding still
appears the most significant risk for our area with heavy rainfall
expected as the storm moves into the area this afternoon today
with strong moisture convergence moving over the area today
possibly enhanced by dynamics associated with the right entrance
region of the upper jet. Will keep FFA in effect for the entire
area as some flooding issues will continue. A Tornado Watch
remains in effect for the eastern portions of forecast area until
4pm this afternoon. Latest mesoscale analysis showing 0-1km SRH
values around 300-500 m2s2 over the southern Midlands.

As Hermine lifts northward through the day the pressure gradient
will increase and we still expect significant winds to impact the
region. The strongest winds are expected closer to the center of
the storm in the eastern Midlands with wind speeds of 25 to
possibly 40 mph and stronger gusts. A High Wind Warning remains in
effect for the eastern portions of the area until 2 am Saturday,
and a Wind Advisory is in effect for the remainder of the area
until 2am Saturday. As the ground becomes saturated from the
steady heavy rainfall later today, the increasing winds will bring
the potential for downed trees.

Tonight Hermine is expected to lift northeast out of the area
during the 03z-06z time frame with some clearing skies late
tonight. Temperatures today will be limited by clouds and
precipitation and should struggle to get out of the 70s. Overnight
temperatures will be limited by wind and clouds but some cool
advection on the backside of the departing storm should allow
temperatures to fall into the mid and upper 60s.

&&

.SHORT TERM /SATURDAY THROUGH SUNDAY NIGHT/...
Extended models consistent showing Hermine located near the NC/VA
coast by 12z Saturday as a 500mb ridge builds into the region by
early next week.  Drier air and a return to sunshine this weekend
with temperatures slightly cooler than normals for this time of year.

&&

.LONG TERM /MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/...
Continued dry with mainly clear skies through the period as 500
mb ridge remains in control over the Southeast US. Temperatures
will slowly warm back above normal next week with highs in the
lower 90s and lows in the upper 60s to lower 70s.

&&

.AVIATION /18Z FRIDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
Main precipitation shield associated with Tropical Storm Hermine
continues to push through our forecast area. At 18Z, the center
of TS Hermine was just west of SAV, and is forecast to move NE
across S SC this afternoon into early tonight. Some weakening of
the circulation expected as center will remain over land. However,
widespread heavy rain, and associated CIG/VSBY restrictions, and
windy conditions expected to persist at our terminals with the
passage of the cyclone. Conditions expected to improve behind the
departing cyclone this evening and early tonight, with gradually
backing winds and decreasing speeds.

EXTENDED AVIATION OUTLOOK...No impacts to aviation expected
Saturday through Tuesday.

&&

.HYDROLOGY...
Heavy rainfall associated with Hurricane Hermine will produce
significant rises on the area rivers. Total rainfall amounts from
2 to 6 inches with locally higher amounts possible. Although the
area rivers will rise significantly over the next several
days...only the North Fork of the Edisto River at Orangeburg is
expected to approach flood stage. The current forecast indicates
the river level rising to 7.8 feet with flood stage 8.0 feet. With
such a hot and relatively dry Summer at times combined with the
traditional draw down period of area reservoirs heading into the
Fall...the area reservoirs have storage available for the event.
The potential does exist for some flash flooding of local streams
and creeks.
