Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Charleston SC
724 PM EDT Mon Jun 28 2021
.SYNOPSIS...
Tropical Storm Danny over the southwest Atlantic will move
onshore along the South Carolina coast this evening. Atlantic
high pressure will then prevail before a cold front approaches
the region late week.
&&
.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM TUESDAY MORNING/...
As of 5 PM: The forecast updated to reflect latest wind guidance
from NHC. Latest KCLX detected a band of moderate to heavy rain
pivoting over the lower Savannah River. The forecast update will
feature adjustments to PoPs and Wx to reflect latest radar
trends.
As of 350 PM: See NHC for the latest update on Tropical Storm
Danny. KCLX data and visible satellite clearly shows the center
of Tropical Storm Danny off the coast of the SC Lowcountry,
tracking WNW. Rain bands associated with Danny will increase
across the coastal areas through the rest of the afternoon into
early evening. High resolution guidance indicates that rainfall
bands may reach an inflection point near the SC/GA State line,
resulting in periods of heavy rainfall. Latest SPC mesoscale
analysis indicated STP values around 1 unit along the SC Coast.
It is possible that convection over the SC Lowcountry will show
periods of concentrated mesos. The forecast will time cate PoPs
passing SE to NW across the forecast area this evening.
&&
.SHORT TERM /6 AM TUESDAY MORNING THROUGH THURSDAY/...
Atlantic high pressure will be the dominant feature Tuesday through
Thursday. Expect fairly typical diurnal shower/thunderstorm coverage
each day. The threat for organized severe weather is low.
Temperatures will be within a few degrees of normal, with highs
peaking in the upper 80s to around 90, and lows mainly in the lower
70s, although more mild in the mid 70s at the immediate coast.
&&
.LONG TERM /THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH MONDAY/...
Atlantic high pressure will begin to lose influence late week into
the weekend as an amplified mid level trough shifts into the eastern
U.S. and brings a cold front towards the region. There is still
uncertainty with regards to how far and fast the front progresses,
but regardless, deep southwest flow will keep PWats near or over 2
inches and lead to scattered to numerous showers/thunderstorms each
day. Temperatures through the period are expected to be near to
slightly below normal.
&&
.AVIATION /00Z MONDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/...
Tropical Storm Danny will shift inland over southern SC this
evening. Gusty winds initially will settle through the night as
the system moves further away and weakens. Flight restrictions,
mainly in ceilings, will also improve through the night with VFR
expected at all TAF sites by early Tuesday morning. The main
threat for impacts associated with showers/thunderstorms will be
at KSAV early.
Extended Aviation Outlook: Brief flight restrictions possible mainly
in daytime showers and thunderstorms, and possibly in early morning
low clouds/fog.
&&
.MARINE...
Tropical Storm Danny is forecast to track WNW across the SC waters
through rest of this afternoon and evening. Tropical Storm Warnings
have been posted for the SC marine zones. The GA waters will remain
on the south side of the system, resulting in Small Craft Advisory
conditions.
Tuesday through Saturday: Atlantic high pressure will be the
dominant feature through the period, although a cold front will
approach the region from the west late week. Southeast winds will
gradually become more southerly with time, and then increase in
speed towards the weekend as the pressure gradient becomes enhanced.
Conditions could become supportive of Small Craft Advisories for
portions of the waters.
Rip Currents: A Moderate Risk for rip currents is in place for all
South Carolina and Georgia beaches through this evening as low
pressure advances to the Southeast coast.
&&
