Area forecast discussion, May 28, 2:18 PM EDT, 2 hours 55 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Charleston SC
218 PM EDT SAT MAY 28 2016
.SYNOPSIS...
Tropical Depression Two over the southwest Atlantic will approach
the South Carolina coast through tonight, moving onshore Sunday
before weakening. The low could linger in the vicinity into early
next week before eventually lifting away to the northeast. A cold
front will approach the region late next week.
&&
.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...
Tropical Storm Warnings remain in effect for the South Carolina
coastal areas. The center of TD 2 is currently about 195 mi SSE of
Charleston SC moving to the NW. Though there has been no
strengthening this morning, as it moves over the warmer waters of
the Gulf Stream later today and tonight it may strengthen into
Tropical Storm Bonnie. The 11 am advisory package from the NHC
shifted the track slightly to the left which brings the system
onshore Sunday morning in western Charleston County as a weak
tropical storm. The wind fields within the system are expected to
be quite small and given the trajectory the wind directions for
most of the forecast area will be land-based. This means there
will likely only be a small area of tropical storm-force winds.
Nonetheless we expect breezy conditions to develop later this
afternoon with strengthening winds across the board tonight with
the strongest winds centered in Charleston County between midnight
tonight and noon Sunday.
An expansive rain shield associated with the system has been
slowly moving onshore late this morning. Precipitable water values
are pushing to 1.7-1.8" and expected to exceed 2" in coastal SC by
late this afternoon. We expect widespread rain to overspread
southern SC and eastern GA through the afternoon with the
heaviest rainfall over coastal SC late this afternoon and early
evening. Though extensive cloudiness has spread across most of
the area, partial sun over our far western GA zones may facilitate
CAPEs of 1500 J/kg and isolated thunderstorms this afternoon.
Elsewhere, the chance for thunderstorms will be quite low due to
limited instability.
&&
.SHORT TERM /SUNDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...
The forecast through the short term period continues to remain quite
complex and still somewhat uncertain, highly dependent upon the
evolution of Tropical Depression Two over the southwest Atlantic
between Bermuda and the Bahamas.
The official forecast from the National Hurricane Center continues
to track a weakening tropical storm/depression along coastal
Charleston County on Sunday Afternoon. Gusty winds associated with
the low are expected to gradually subside as the low either stalls
or hooks briefly before beginning to slide slowly to the northeast
sunday night. The ECMWF had an interesting solution on the 00Z
run with a good bit of upper forcing from a 45 kt upper jet streak
enhancing heavy rain across the South Carolina forecast area on
the western side of the surface low. The QPF differences between
the models remain quite substantial and revolve not only on
complex mesoscale details but on synoptic forcing and atop the
system. We have bumped up QPF to 2-3 inches across the Charleston
Tri-County but some higher amounts could fall back west into
places like Hampton and Allendale Counties.
Due to the small and likely compact nature to the system there will
likely only be some occasional convective bands that contain
thunderstorms, so we are showing no more than chance t-storms
through the period. If deep convection were to develop on a knot
near the center, there could be small chances for rotation given
25-30 kt of deep layered shear but the window at this time appears
too small to play any tornado risk across eastern Charleston and
Berkeley counties. The risk for Tropical Storm force winds will
be highest early Sunday as the storm reaches the coast in coastal
Charleston County.
Model solutions still vary on the evolution of Tropical Depression
Two into Tuesday, but consensus slowly lifts the weakening low
northeast from north coastal South Carolina towards the North
Carolina Outer Banks by Tuesday. Thus, the main window for any
threats with this system will have ended. Assuming this track
holds, precipitation chances should decrease through the day
Monday as deepest moisture moves out of the area. Locations across
southeast Georgia could very well be dry much of the day given the
position relative to the low. Current forecast has PoPs ranging
from 40-50% north to around 20% in the south. On Tuesday, rain
chances revolve around the more typical summertime diurnal
convection. High temperatures will be near normal in the mid 80s
to around 90 (highest across southeast Georgia), with lows mainly
in the upper 60s to around 70.
&&
.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 remains 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 /18Z SATURDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/...
KCHS: Periods of rain moving onshore this afternoon. Vsby will
likely be restricted to MVFR much of the afternoon due to the
rain. The heaviest rain may move inland from KCHS this evening,
bringing a temporary improvement to vsbys but ceilings will likely
then drop to MVFR. Cannot rule out IFR conditions at times,
briefly in vsbys due to heavier rain or later tonight in ceilings.
Slight improvement expected late Sun morning into the afternoon
but we will probably continue to see prevailing MVFR during this
time.
KSAV: Mainly VFR conditions persisting as the greatest impacts
from the tropical cyclone will remain just east. A few showers
could skirt past the airfield at times but minimal vsby or ceiling
restrictions will result. Cannot rule out a period of MVFR
ceilings later tonight but again the worst should remain just to
the east.
EXTENDED AVIATION OUTLOOK...Chances for at least periodic flight
restrictions into early next week, especially at KCHS, as the
tropical system impacts coastal South Carolina.
&&
.MARINE...
Winds/seas deteriorating through tonight as TD 2 moves through the
waters with tropical storm conditions tonight into early Sunday
for all waters except nearshore GA.
Some uncertainty still remains in the track of Tropical Depression
Two, but consensus has the low meandering in the vicinity early
Monday before slowly lifting to the northeast into Tuesday. Latest
National Hurricane Center forecast indicates that the system will
weaken as this occurs, so marine conditions are expected to steadily
improve. Thereafter, winds/seas should remain below any headline
criteria through late week.
Rip Currents: A high risk of rip currents all beaches today and
elevated risks into early next week.
