Area forecast discussion, Sep 5, 12:02 PM EDT, 2 hours 9 minutes before

Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Charleston SC
1202 PM EDT Thu Sep 5 2019

.SYNOPSIS...
Hurricane Dorian will pass north just off the central South
Carolina coast today, bringing significant impacts especially to
portions of the South Carolina Lowcountry. Dorian will continue
to move away from the area tonight through Friday. High
pressure will return by the weekend, then persist through early
next week.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 PM THIS EVENING/...
Hurricane Dorian remains a dangerous hurricane this morning
about 50 miles east southeast of Charleston. The storm will
slowly continue to move northward coming very close to the
northern Charleston County coast this afternoon.

Flash Flooding: Latest radar imagery indicates heavier rainfall
affecting areas around Charleston and points north and east as
the western edge of Dorian's eye wall brush the area along with
the best upper forcing. Additional rainfall amounts of 5 to 10
inches with locally higher amounts are expected. Given the
incoming high tide early to mid this afternoon there should be
widespread flash flooding near the coast.

Wind: Tropical storm force winds, especially in gusts, will
continue to impact areas mainly near and east of I-95,
especially north and east of Charleston closer to the center of
Dorian. Hurricane force winds, especially in gusts, will
continue to impact areas mainly near the SC coast, especially
northern Charleston County where gusts near 100 mph are
possible. In general, the strongest winds will be associated
with the strongest convection.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 PM THIS EVENING THROUGH SUNDAY/...
Tonight: Rapidly improving conditions will continue as Dorian
moves away from the region. Most, if not all, of the rain
will be gone by daybreak.

Friday through Sunday: The mid-levels will consist of rising
heights as Dorian moves away from the region. At the surface,
Dorian will be moving away Friday morning while a dry cold front
moves through our area. High pressure will then build in from
the northwest Friday afternoon and prevail across the region
through the weekend. Dry conditions are expected throughout the
short term. Temperatures will be above normal due to downslope
flow on Friday followed by southerly flow over the weekend.

&&

.LONG TERM /SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
Weak ridging should build over the Southeast the first part of the
week, followed by semi-zonal flow midweek. The surface pattern should
consist of stationary fronts nearby or across the region. There are
hints that maybe some afternoon convection may return each afternoon
starting on Monday due to the location of the fronts. Temperatures
should be within a few degrees of normal.

&&

.AVIATION /16Z THURSDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...
Strong tropical storm conditions will continue through early
afternoon before slowly improving.

Extended Aviation: VFR.

&&

.MARINE...
Today and Tonight: Dorian will continue to bring hurricane
conditions to the SC waters and tropical storm conditions to the
GA waters. As the storm moves begins to move away from our area
later today and especially tonight, conditions will quickly
improve from south to north.

Thursday through Monday: Dorian is forecasted to move away from
our area on Friday. High pressure will return by the weekend,
then persist through early next week. Conditions will continue
to improve through the weekend. No Small Craft Advisories are
expected.

Rip Currents: There is a High Risk of rip currents for all of the
beaches today due to large swells from Dorian impacting the beaches.
An elevated risk of rip currents could persist into Friday due to
remnant swells.

High Surf: A High Surf Advisory continues through this evening for
all of the beaches due to breakers of approximately 5 to 10 ft,
with slowly lowering breaker heights from south to north as
winds turn offshore behind Dorian.

&&

.TIDES/COASTAL FLOODING...
Storm Surge Warning continues for coastal areas from Colleton County
northward with the greatest potential for at least 3 feet of
inundation across far northern Charleston County during this
afternoon's high tide.

As a reminder, our tide forecasts for Charleston, SC and Ft
Pulaski, GA displayed on the Advanced Hydrologic Prediction
Service (AHPS) are deterministic forecasts reflecting our best-
guess tide level at specific tide gage locations. These
forecasts are relative to Mean Lower Low Water (MLLW).
Meanwhile, the storm surge forecasts that appear in our other
hurricane- related products are relative to Above Ground Level
(AGL), which is inundation. These forecasts incorporate the
uncertainty of predicting storm surge as well as the range of
possible impacts based on location, and thus will typically be
greater than what appears on AHPS.
