Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Columbia SC
640 PM EDT Wed Jun 27 2018

.SYNOPSIS...
Expect scattered afternoon thunderstorms followed by a line of
thunderstorms moving through the region this evening. There
will be lingering surface troughing during the rest of the week.
Hotter conditions will occur with diminished cloudiness and
upper ridging over the weekend.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM THURSDAY MORNING/...
Severe thunderstorm watch until 900 pm for northwest portion of
CWA. Severe thunderstorms currently in the Upstate at 21z in
area of moderately high ML CAPE 2500-3000 J/kg. There is a mid
level dry air intrusion over north Ga into SC. There is concern
this area of dry air will spread southeast toward the CSRA/west
Midlands ahead of short wave trough and result in an increase of
DCAPE above 1000 J/kg. The high resolution models along with
current meso-analysis suggest a threat for severe thunderstorms
especially across the Piedmont/north Midlands and CSRA this
evening with damaging wind gusts main threat associated with
strong instability and high DCAPE.

Activity will begin to diminish towards midnight, with only
isolated showers expected at that point. Clouds have kept
afternoon temperatures in check, and most sites will top out
around 90 degrees. Overnight lows in the middle 70s.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 AM THURSDAY MORNING THROUGH FRIDAY/...
500mb ridging moves east from the south central plains to the
Ohio River Valley through the Friday. Early in the period
a surface trough lingers over the area providing best chance
for diurnal convection on Thursday afternoon/evening. LI indices
around -6 to -8 Thursday afternoon with the weak cap breaking
after 15z. SPC has assigned general thunder for the area but isolated
high wind and hail still possible in the afternoon/early
evening. Less chance for convection on Friday as ridge moves
closer. Guidance consensus for temperatures look reasonable with
heat index values peaking 100 to 105.

&&

.LONG TERM /FRIDAY NIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
Models agree taking upper ridge across the eastern US this
weekend and building second ridge across central plains by late
in the period. Thermal trough between ridges will provide weak
forcing for mainly isolated to scattered diurnal convection
through the extended period. Slight chance to chance pops seems
reasonable with the GFS and ECMWF MOS suggesting above normal
temperatures.

&&

.AVIATION /00Z THURSDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...
Main concern is band of showers and thunderstorms, some strong
to severe, to the N and NW of our TAF sites drifting to the SE.
Increasing confidence of thunderstorms affecting our TAF sites
late today through early tonight. Strong gusty and shifting
winds expected, and possibly hail, with the stronger storms.

Storms should be east of the TAF sites by 05Z tonight with
another round of low ceilings or visibility restrictions
possible late tonight into early Thursday morning. Return to
VFR expected later Thursday morning, with scattered
thunderstorms possible again Thursday afternoon, favoring the
southernmost TAF sites OGB/AGS/DNL.

EXTENDED AVIATION OUTLOOK...Restrictions possible each day in
early morning fog plus mainly afternoon and evening thunderstorms.

&&

.CAE WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
GA...None.
SC...None.
