Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Charleston SC
356 PM EDT Fri Jun 3 2022

.SYNOPSIS...
A cold front will move through the area tonight before
transitioning into a stationary front along the Southeast coast
over the weekend. Low pressure originating in the tropics is
expected to pass to our southeast early next week. High
pressure will then prevail into the middle of next week.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM SATURDAY MORNING/...
A cold front will slowly shift through the Lowcountry/Coastal
Empire. Showers and storms, mainly concentrated inland, should
continue well into the evening given the frontal forcing and
upper shortwave energy. The rain intensity/coverage will
diminish later tonight, likely ending for most areas by
daybreak. A few severe storms are possible into this evening along
with minor flash flooding. Lowering cloud decks late behind the
front could lead to some fog but confidence was too low to
mention just yet. Lows should remain well above normal in the
upper 60s inland with lower to mid 70s closer to the coast.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 AM SATURDAY MORNING THROUGH MONDAY/...
Saturday and Sunday: Quasi-zonal flow will prevail within the upper
levels and a cold front is expected to stall offshore early
Saturday. Low pressure originating in the tropics is expected to
move across the FL peninsula Saturday, emerging off Florida's east
coast late. The low is then expected to move in a general northeast
direction along or just east of the stationary front. While there
remains some uncertainty regarding the exact track of this low,
models tend to keep it far enough to our southeast to maintain
virtually no impacts to land. The main highlights for this weekend's
forecast is sea breeze and frontal induced convection. Ongoing
convection associated with the front is expected to persist along or
just off the coast Saturday morning. By late afternoon, scattered
showers and thunderstorms look to initiate from the sea breeze. The
severe risk appears to be low for now due to limited instability;
however, an isolated strong storm cannot be ruled out. Sunday should
see slightly less coverage from afternoon/evening convection and a
lesser threat for severe thunderstorms due to minimal instability.

Monday: As the tropical low continues to move out into the Atlantic,
weak high pressure will attempt to build in from the north. Isolated
diurnally driven convection is possible mainly across Southeast
Georgia where deeper moisture and instability remains.

High temperatures will reach the mid to upper 80s each day through
the short-term period, with Monday being the warmest day of the
trio. Mild low temperatures are expected, dipping into the mid to
upper 60s and low 70s along the coast.

&&

.LONG TERM /MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY/...
A weak upper ridging pattern will set up early next week and surface
high pressure is expected to prevail with a relatively dry forecast
through the middle of next week. Isolated diurnal convection should
return near the end of next week. Temperatures are expected to trend
higher each day, rising to above normal near the middle of next
week.

&&

.AVIATION /19Z FRIDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
Expect mainly VFR conditions at KCHS/KJZI/KSAV until late
tonight outside showers/storms later this afternoon through the
evening. Expect ceilings to lower to at least MVFR levels behind
a passing cold front late tonight with a low risk for IFR
conditions mainly closer to 12Z. There could also be some fog
with mainly MVFR vsbys. Additional showers/storms possible
toward the end of the 18Z TAF period.

Extended Aviation Outlook: Brief flight restrictions possible in
showers/thunderstorms over the weekend.

&&

.MARINE...
Tonight: The cold front finally makes it offshore overnight,
but never completely clears the coastal waters, while the
tropical- like low is turning toward the southwest coast of
Florida. Winds will be their highest early on, at S or SW up to
15 or 20 kt, then as the gradient slackens with the front moving
in, there is a noticeable decrease in speeds as the winds
become somewhat variable. Seas will be around 2 or 3 ft.
Mariners are advised that some strong to perhaps severe storms
will move off the coast of South Carolina, resulting in the
possibility of Marine Weather Statements and/or Special Marine
Warnings.

Saturday through Wednesday: A cold front will push offshore early
Saturday, stalling just to our southeast causing winds to shift out
of the east-northeast. Tropical low pressure is expected to track
northeast across southern Florida and well off the Southeast coast
through the weekend. While there still remains some uncertainty
regarding the exact track of the low, models keep it south and east
from the local waters. Seas and winds will increase late Saturday
and Small Craft Advisories could be needed early Sunday morning
across the majority of our marine zones. Conditions will begin to
improve Monday with seas decreasing to 2-4 feet and winds shifting
out the southeast to less than 15 knots.

Rip Currents: An elevated risk for rip currents is possible late
weekend into early next week due to increasing swell from an
offshore tropical system. Sunday currently features a Moderate Risk
for rip currents for all local beaches.
