Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Columbia SC
200 PM EDT Sat Jun 22 2019

.SYNOPSIS...
A frontal boundary will remain in the forecast area through
tonight bringing a possibility of severe thunderstorms. The
front will become diffuse under upper ridging early next week
and this pattern supports mainly scattered afternoon
thunderstorms and above normal temperatures.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...
The main concern again is...the increasing potential for
organized severe thunderstorms this afternoon into the early
evening. Another mesoscale convective system (MCS) in the
Carolina Mountains at 17z is forecast to move southeast in
northwest flow aloft and move across the region through early
evening. In addition, convection increasing in east central GA
near outflow boundaries where instability strong to extreme
moving toward the CSRA likely to intensify. The meso-analysis
across our area at 17z...A low level cap and negative CAPE has
kept clouds at bay and weaker surface based instability through
the early afternoon. However a closer look at the area laps and
forecast soundings suggest a somewhat loaded gun sounding with
considerable CAPE in the mixed layer MUCAPE 3000-4000 J/kg
across the southern CWA. The effective deep layer shear near 30
knots is a concern. The potentially strong to extreme
instability across the southern CWA should be enough to sustain
or promote severe convection given the relatively strong deep
layer effective shear. SPC has a good part of the CWA in
enhanced risk of severe weather...even deeper into the capped
environment...and a convective watch appears likely. The high
resolution models all show convection in the area with different
solutions...but expect most storms to move east of the area
after 00z. high pops early then Decreasing pops overnight. Heavy
rain possible with high precipitable water but storm movement
should limit precip amounts. Temperatures again in the low 70s
for lows. Stratus may develop across the north Midlands after
midnight and spread south as boundary shift to the south.

&&

.SHORT TERM /SUNDAY THROUGH SUNDAY NIGHT/...
Upper ridge axis just to the west of the region. The latest
models appear to shift the frontal boundary a little further
south, so the stronger instability may be in Georgia or across
the western CWA/CSRA. The northern Midlands should be in a more
stable environment than previous days. Expect slightly cooler
temperatures due to considerable clouds at least early and the
frontal boundary further south, so cut temps a bit. With weak
short waves rotating over ridge and possibly moderate
instability and high low-level moisture, scattered afternoon
convection expected but severe threat appears lower.

&&

.LONG TERM /MONDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/...
The weather pattern over the Southeast U.S. transitions from a
northwest flow aloft to a building summer time ridge axis during the
next week. Increased subsidence, the lack of significant upper
level forcing, and rising H5 heights will lead to a slight
chance of diurnal convection Monday through Tuesday.

A low level southerly flow later next week will increase POPs to a
chance of afternoon and evening showers and thunderstorms Wednesday
through Saturday. Temperatures will be near normal for late June.

&&

.AVIATION /18Z SATURDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/...
Surface boundary across the area to focus convection/convergence
this evening. Scattered cumulus across the area early this
afternoon with some mid level clouds. Another mesoscale
convective system moving southeast from the Carolina Mountains
across the region late this afternoon and early evening. Other
storms approaching from east central Georgia. Despite capping at
the moment, The air mass will be strongly unstable across the
region through the early evening. Brief restrictions expected
early evening associated with convection. gusty winds also
possible near storms mainly from the west- northwest direction,
possibly in excess of 30 knots.

Frontal boundary shifts south overnight, stratus may develop
late tonight although confidence not high. This will result in
IFR ceilings at CAE/CUB and possibly OGB. Brief fog possible at
all terminals with light winds in the boundary layer. Ceilings
should improve by 14z-16z. Light winds becoming northwest or
north after 12z.

.EXTENDED AVIATION OUTLOOK...Scattered mainly afternoon and
evening thunderstorms and associated restrictions will occur during
the period. A few locations may have early morning stratus and
fog.

&&

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

  HAZARD...strong winds 45 to 55 mph and up to penny sized hail.

  IMPACT...expect minor damage to tree limbs and blowing around of
           light, unsecured objects. Minor hail damage to plants,
           trees and crops is possible. Damage to windshields is

Persons in campgrounds should seek shelter until these storms pass.

These storms may intensify. Monitor NOAA Weather Radio, local radio
and television stations for additional information and possible

with little or no warning. Be alert for rapidly changing weather
conditions and be ready to act quickly if severe weather is observed
or a warning is issued.
