Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Charleston SC
400 PM EDT THU JUN 2 2016
.SYNOPSIS...
High pressure centered over the Atlantic will extend westward
across the area through late week. A slow moving cold front will
approach the region over the weekend and then cross the area early
next week. A tropical or sub-tropical system may slide by south of
the area on Tuesday. High pressure is then expected to return for
the middle of next week.
&&
.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM FRIDAY MORNING/...
Late afternoon showers and storms will diminish this evening with
mostly dry conditions after midnight. Debris cirrus will steadily
thin overnight with mostly clear skies expected to prevail during
the early morning hours Friday. Lows will range from the lower 70s
inland to the mid 70s at the coast. Some patchy fog or low stratus
could once again form, but no significant impacts are anticipated.
&&
.SHORT TERM /6 AM FRIDAY MORNING THROUGH SUNDAY/...
Friday and Friday night: Upper level ridging will extend across the
southeast states during this period. This ridging and associated
sinking motion should limit the extent of afternoon showers and
thunderstorms despite afternoon CAPE values between 2000 and 3000
J/kg. The most likely location for convective development is along
and west of the sea breeze that will be moving inland during the
day, but especially during the afternoon hours. Due to weak upper
level winds, the thunderstorms will be slow moving which could
result in isolated heavy rainfall and the possibility of minor
flooding. An isolated strong to marginally severe thunderstorm is
possible, but widespread severe weather is not anticipated. Highs
will mainly be in the low to mid 90s away from the coast.
Saturday and Saturday night: The upper level ridging will begin to
break down as the upper level ridge shifts eastward. There will be
an increase in precipitable water values, especially in the south
where values will climb to near 2 inches. A decent amount of
sunshine will help temperatures again climb into the lower to mid
90s in afternoon with CAPE values again rising to between 2000 and
3000 J/kg. This combined with an weak upper level disturbance should
result in a greater coverage of afternoon and evening showers and
thunderstorms, especially across interior portions of Georgia. Once
again, thinking is that strong to marginally severe thunderstorms
will be possible during the afternoon into the evening hours. With
the increasing support from an upper level trough developing to the
west of the area, held on to higher rain chances Saturday evening
than would be normally be the case. Rain chances should diminish
after midnight, but some threat quite possible through the night.
Sunday: This looks to be a very active day as increasing
southwesterly upper level flow overspreads the area in advance of a
developing large scale upper level trough. The area is currently
under a day 4 slight risk and this looks reasonable given the
likelihood of afternoon CAPE values from 1500 to 2000 J/kg and good
mainly unidirectional speed sheer. The most likely scenario is for a
line or cluster of thunderstorms that develop west and southwest of
the area to move into and through the area during the
afternoon/early evening with the main threat being wind gusts in
excess of 60 mph. Currently only minimal sunshine is expected during
the morning into the afternoon, but if more sunshine occurs and CAPE
values are greater, then a more significant severe weather threat
would be possible. Highs are expected to be range from the mid 80s
at the coast to near 90 inland. Maintained rain chances mainly from
50 to 60 percent.
&&
.LONG TERM /SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY/...
Models in overall good agreement of the synoptic pattern through the
long term period. A surface low pressure system will be located over
the northeastern U.S. A series of fronts associated with this system
expected to cross the area early in the week, with high pressure to
build in from the northwest in its wake by mid-week. Meanwhile,
models have been consistent in developing an area of low pressure in
nature over the Gulf of Mexico and then tracking it northeast across
the Florida peninsula. This system has the potential to become
tropical in nature, but at the present time appears that it will
remain south of the area as is quickly moves off to the east or
northeast. Rain chances will peak Monday into Tuesday with drier
conditions expected thereafter.
&&
.AVIATION /19Z THURSDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...
Mostly VFR outside of showers and thunderstorms, mainly this
afternoon until about 23Z. We maintained a tempo group for TSRA
at KCHS but confidence not high enough to include at KSAV. Low
risk for low clouds/fog toward daybreak Friday, especially if rain
occurs today/tonight.
Extended Aviation Outlook: Low risk for flight restrictions from
mainly afternoon showers/tstms and early morning fog/stratus.
Highest risk for sub VFR conditions will be Sunday afternoon and
Sunday evening. Otherwise, mainly VFR.
&&
.MARINE...
Tonight: A typical summer-time marine pattern will prevail with
south to southwest winds. A slight nocturnal surge could kick
winds up to 15 kt with seas mostly 2 ft or less within 20 nm and 3
ft in the offshore waters.
Friday through Tuesday: Atlantic high pressure will prevail through
Friday night resulting in fairly benign conditions with winds
generally below 15 knots with seas from 1 to 3 feet. Over the
weekend, a cold front will approach from the west, allowing the
pressure gradient to tighten a bit. South to southwest winds will
increase as a result and seas will build. However, conditions are
still expected to remain below small craft advisory levels. The
front will cross the waters early next week. It is worth noting that
models have been consistent in showing an area of low pressure
developing over the Gulf of Mexico then tracking northeast across
the Florida peninsula late Monday into Tuesday. This system which
could become tropical in nature looks to stay south of the waters at
this time with minimal impacts expected.
&&
.TIDES/COASTAL FLOODING...
A Coastal Flood Advisory is in effect for all of the central/southern
SC coast and the northern GA coast this evening as minor saltwater
inundation is expected. There is a small risk that levels will
get a bit higher into the moderate flooding range, especially
along the SC coast.
Tides levels are expected to slowly increase through the weekend
with predicted levels forecast to reach near Coastal Flood Advisory
thresholds along South Coastal South Carolina and possibly North
Coastal Georgia. Coastal Flood Advisories may be needed for some
areas over the coming days.
