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

.SYNOPSIS...
Tropical Storm Bonnie will track towards the South Carolina coast
today, then slowly move northeast through mid-week while weakening.
A cold front will then approach the region late week.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...
TS Bonnie had shifted to more of a north northwest track
overnight; hesitant to come off the Gulf Stream. Our main concern
today continues to evolve around the risk for locally heavy rains
and potential flooding. Model consensus indicates that the pinned
region of deformation and upper forcing enhanced by a secondary
jet streak and broad low level convergence will continue to focus
the best potential over Southeast South Carolina west of a line
from Lake Moultrie to Charleston give the latest track of Bonnie
pans out. Localized flash flooding is possible today with this
main band of rains. While widespread flash flooding is unlikely
there could be a few pockets of rainfall exceeding 3 inches during
the 12Z to 21Z time frame. We have refrained from issuing a flash
flood watch today since models indicate that the most intense rain
should have occurred overnight and additional areas are likely to
redevelop across the i-95 corridor to the north of where the
overnight heavy rains fell in Jasper and Beaufort Counties.

Wind concerns have been diminished by the weakening of TS Bonnie
overnight along with ongoing trends. A TS warning remains in effect
North of Edisto Beach this morning but there is a chance that gusts
will struggle to reach tropical storm force from Charleston
northward as Bonnie nears the upper South Carolina Coast if new deep
convection fails to fire today. Mesoscale complexities do remain
numerous and since the GFS continues to indicate good deep layered
instability developing later today across the Tri-County area and
this may result in some deeper convection and stronger wind gusts.

Clouds and rains will hold temps down in the upper 70s many areas
to the north of i-16. Savannah is right on the cusp between dry and
wet as well as cooler versus warmer thus a tricky spot to forecast
for today. Warmer readings are likely close to the Altamaha River
where mid 80s are likely.

Tonight the tropical low should be moving slowly but gradually away
from the Charleston area while skies continue to clear out over
Southeast Georgia. Shower chances over South Carolina will gradually
diminish after midnight with convergence and upper forcing on the
wane.

&&

.SHORT TERM /MONDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
Monday: Tropical Storm Bonnie will have likely weakened to a remnant
low (per latest National Hurricane Center forecast) and will be
located somewhere in the vicinity of the northern Charleston county
coast at the start of the period. The low will be very slow to exit
the area, making northeast progress only to the upper South Carolina
coast by Monday evening. Main threats associated with this system
should largely be over, but some decent rain could linger across the
far northern zones during the day. Precipitation chances will then
decrease Monday night as deepest moisture shifts out of the area.

Tuesday into Wednesday: Weather pattern will be in transition as
remnants of TS Bonnie continue to slowly lift northeast along the
coast, and maybe even mill around off the NC coast for a period of
time. Models have trended drier both days, so have decreased PoPs to
now feature mainly slight chance, with a pocket of chances across
the northern zones on Tuesday. Temperatures will be a couple degrees
above normal as heights aloft build through mid-week.

&&

.LONG TERM /WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY/...
Weak surface pressure pattern will be in place Thursday into Friday
before a cold front approaches from the west over the weekend, and
potentially stalls near or over the area. Rain chances peak each day
in the afternoon with a relative minimum at night, with the better
chances occurring Saturday & Sunday. Upper ridge over the area will
boost temperatures a couple degrees above normal.

&&

.AVIATION /12Z SUNDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/...
KCHS: Periods of rain, heavy at times, rotating onshore through
the valid time period. MVFR to IFR cigs will continue to
fluctuate as rain intensities deviate and rain bands set up. 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 continued to flirt with 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...Aviation conditions expected to improve
late Monday as remnants of TS Bonnie slowly lift northeast away from
the area. Mainly VFR thereafter. Low-end chances for stratus each
night towards daybreak.

&&

.MARINE...
TS Bonnie was pulling away from the offshore Georgia Waters this
morning and TS warnings have been dropped in AMZ374. Small craft
advisories will be in effect for the Georgia waters this morning.
TS force winds are expected off the Charleston County with
hazardous conditions anticipated until the Bonnie exits tonight.
Seas will be subsiding to the south of the Savannah River as
directions have come around to offshore and this should assist the
decreasing trends.

Monday through Friday: Marine conditions expected to improve Monday
as remnants of the tropical system slowly lift northeast through mid
week. Thereafter, weak pressure pattern will be in place before a
cold front approaches from the west late week. After the lingering
effects of the tropical system end, winds/seas should be relatively
quiet with no headlines expected. Winds on average 10 knots or less
with seas 2-3 feet.

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