Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Charleston SC
1258 AM EDT SUN MAY 29 2016

.SYNOPSIS...
Tropical Storm Bonnie near the west wall of the Gulf Stream will
move onshore in central South Carolina Sunday afternoon, then
move slowly northeast through Tuesday while weakening. A cold
front will then approach the region late next week.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM THIS MORNING/...
Around midnight, TS Bonnie had reached the western wall of the
Gulf Stream waters to the east of the Georgia Coast. The storm
was currently void of deep convection as it nestles under a 50
kt upper jet streak. The main forecast concern continues to be
heavy rainfall potential overnight. 12 hour rainfall estimates
and reports indicate 2 to 3 inches of rain had already fallen
across parts of Beaufort and Southern Colleton and Dorchester
Counties into much of Southern and Central Charleston County.
Since the more steadier rains had shifted more to the sw toward
the Savannah River and recent addition rains more sporadic; we
will continue to hold off on a Flash Flood Watch given the
uncertain potential/timing/location of additional heavy rains.

Otherwise, Bonnie looks to be weakening currently and probably
will be hesitant to come off the Gulf Stream overnight. No other
significant changes to the forecast.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 AM THIS MORNING THROUGH TUESDAY/...
TS Bonnie will be near the SC coast Sunday with the latest NHC
forecast taking the system slowly northeast along/near the upper
SC/lower NC coast coast through Tue. The deeper moisture will
shift northeast of the area with time which will translate to
lowering rain chances and warming temperatures with time. However,
heavy rainfall will be possible at times, especially Sunday, and
this could lead to some localized flooding of mainly low-lying and
poorly- drained areas. Isolated tornadoes possible as well, mainly
along the central SC coast into Sunday night.

&&

.LONG TERM /TUESDAY NIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY/...
Models are in fairly good agreement for the long term period. Weak
pressure pattern will be in place for the latter half of the work
week as whatever remnants of the tropical system meanders off the
mid-Atlantic coast and eventually dissipates. A cold front is then
forecast to approach the region Friday into Saturday, resulting in
an increase in precipitation chances. Temperatures will be near to
slightly above normal as heights aloft build.

&&

.AVIATION /06Z SUNDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/...
KCHS: Periods of rain, heavy at times, rotating onshore through
the overnight and morning hours. MVFR to IFR cigs will continue
to fluctuate as rain intensities deviate through the next 12
hours. rains will likely persist this afternoon and evening as
the low moves closer to the terminal. Deep moisture remains
available and low cigs will probably persist. Surface winds
will probably gust to 20-25 kt at times through the afternoon
hours.

KSAV: the sw shield of rain has encompassed the terminal and
it could hang on for quite a while into the afternoon hours.
MVFR to IFR cigs are likely as surface winds slowly back to
nw. By later today, rain chances should begin to diminish with
mvfr cigs probably lingering into early evening.

EXTENDED AVIATION OUTLOOK...Periodic flight restrictions into
Monday, especially at KCHS, as TS Bonnie moves across southeast
SC with occasionally heavy/gusty showers and possibly
thunderstorms.

&&

.MARINE...
TS Bonnie will bring increasing winds/seas to coastal waters
through tonight. Dangerous conditions anticipated over most of the
marine area as the storm moves into the area. The one zone without
a Tropical Storm Warning...nearshore GA waters...now has a Small
Craft Advisory due to tightening gradient on the western periphery
of the storm.

Sunday through Thursday...TS Bonnie expected to move through the
SC coastal waters Sunday morning before pushing ashore. Expect
improving conditions later Sunday as the system moves ashore and
weakens. We issued a SCA for the near shore GA waters into early
Sunday based on the latest NHC forecast track of Bonnie. SCA
conditions will persist into Sun night across the SC waters.

Rip Currents: A high risk of rip currents is expected at all
beaches into early next week.

     139-141.
