Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Columbia SC
525 PM EDT Sun Jul 23 2017

.SYNOPSIS...
Upper level ridging will weaken across the area today as the
upper level trough digs over the eastern US. A bermuda high will
provide very warm and humid conditions through Monday with
scattered afternoon and evening showers and thunderstorms. A
weak cool front will stall over the area Tuesday, then move
southward into southern Georgia on Wednesday before dissipating,
providing somewhat cooler weather and a continued threat for
scattered thunderstorms. High pressure will become re-
established for the end of the week.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM MONDAY MORNING/...
Thunderstorms have developed across much of the western Midlands
and Pee Dee with some locally very heavy rainfall. Rain rates
approaching 4 inches per hour have been noted in WSR-88D
returns so potential for localized flooding will continue to be
monitored. Hail potential remains low...however some hail in the
strongest cells has been reported. Expect thunderstorms to
continue slowly moving southward into the central Midlands over
the next couple of hours along with development moving in from
the coast and a few cells in the CSRA. With sunset convection
will begin diminishing...but with numerous outflow boundaries
being produced expect some to intersect and generate new cells
into the late evening/early tonight hours. Convection will end
during the early morning hours with some mid and upper level
debris cloudiness through daybreak keeping low temperatures in
the mid to upper 70s for most locations.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 AM MONDAY MORNING THROUGH TUESDAY NIGHT/...
The forecast area will remain on the western edge of the Bermuda
high through Tuesday night, while heights aloft slowly drop as a
longwave trof becomes established over eastern North America.
This combination will lead to hot afternoons with max temps
generally in the lower to mid 90s, and maximum heat indices a
little above 100. The combination of developing steep low level
lapse rates each afternoon and weak vorticity aloft will lead
to scattered afternoon and evening convection. PWs will range
from 1.8 inches to 2.2 inches across the CWA, so any slow moving
convection could dump some locally heavy rain in spots.

Min temps will remain quite warm with lows in the mid to upper
70s most places.

&&

.LONG TERM /WEDNESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/...
On Wednesday, a weak front will slowly slide through the CWA as
a small area of low pressure develops off of the South Carolina
coast and moves to the northeast. It's main impact will be to
dry the air out a little bit Wednesday night and Thursday, but
max temps on Thursday afternoon will still be in the 90s as an
increase in sunshine will offset any weak cool advection that
tries to set up. Thursday will also see the lowest chance for
afternoon and evening convection for the week.

By Friday, the main global models begin to diverge with details,
but the overall pattern indicates a digging shortwave will move
into the southeastern states on Friday. This will cause an
increase in the deep southwesterly flow, allowing moisture to
quickly return in the form of clouds and scattered convection,
especially during the second half of the day. The weekend
contains a lot of uncertainty as the GFS shows a rather strongly
amplified pattern for july with a significantly deep trough
carving out over the southeastern states, while the ECMWF is
much more progressive with the digging shortwave on Saturday and
instead is more focused on the next shortwave, which is in the
7-10 day period and not part of this package. I have gone for
generally unsettled weather due to the mean trof, without
concentrating too much on the individual shortwaves. This means
slightly above normal chances for rain and slightly below
normal afternoon temps due to increased cloud cover.

&&

.AVIATION /21Z SUNDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/...
Convection expected at the terminals over the next several
hours.

Thunderstorms have developed across the area with cells around
all terminals. Main concerns with thunderstorms remain the
potential for damaging wind gusts along with locally very heavy
rainfall. Have included tempo for all terminals...except OGB...
through 24/01z. Convection will diminish with sunset...however a
few cells are expected to linger into the overnight. Have also
included MVFR fog at AGS/OGB as coming rainfall will increase
potential. All sites will be VFR from 14z through the end of
the period with cumulus developing during the late morning hours
through the end of the period as another round of convection is
expected Monday afternoon.

EXTENDED AVIATION OUTLOOK...Increasing confidence in
restrictions in mainly afternoon/evening thunderstorms through
Wednesday. We could also see some morning cig restrictions from
stratus by Tuesday and Wednesday. The convection looks to
decrease on Thursday, but should pick right back up again by
Friday.
