Area forecast discussion, Jun 9, 3:58 PM EDT, 1 hour 10 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Charleston SC 358 PM EDT Thu Jun 9 2022 .SYNOPSIS... A cold front will continue to push across the region tonight before stalling in the vicinity into the weekend. Thereafter, general high pressure will prevail through next week. && .NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM FRIDAY MORNING/... Decent coverage of convection has developed over the southeastern half of the area this afternoon as a shortwave moves through. Mesoanalysis shows about 2,000 J/kg MLCAPE across the area which has supported a few severe thunderstorms with damaging winds. This activity should continue to shift ESE and off the coast by late afternoon or early evening. A few more showers or tstms could develop along the leading edge of the cold front as it pushes through late this evening and early Friday morning. Winds will shift to the north over the northern areas late tonight following the frontal passage. && .SHORT TERM /6 AM FRIDAY MORNING THROUGH SUNDAY/... Mid level troughing over the eastern CONUS will slightly amplify Friday into Saturday before lifting northeast Sunday. At the surface, a stalled front located just offshore Friday morning will begin to stagger inland, continuing to linger across the forecast area before pushing offshore again Sunday morning. Friday should remain mostly rain-free with drier mid-level air in place behind the front. Some convection could develop across the coastal waters where there is decent llvl convergence and more moisture, but coverage over land looks to be too limited to mention in the forecast. As the axis of the upper trough aligns itself across the Southeast U.S. Saturday, deeper moisture will surge into the area. In addition to forcing for ascent, which looks a bit more notable across Southeast Georgia, this should lead to an unsettled day with scattered to numerous showers and thunderstorms expected. The overall severe potential is low for now. However, an isolated strong to severe thunderstorm is possible just about anywhere with moderate MLCAPE and bulk shear between 20-25 kt. Likely POPs have been included in the forecast for Saturday afternoon and evening. As the upper trough then lifts north, this will push the stationary front offshore Saturday night into Sunday. Isolated to scattered convection could develop along the sea breeze Sunday; however, the majority of the activity should remain confined to the coastal locations as southwest flow tries to prevent the sea breeze circulation from moving far inland. Temperatures through the period will feature highs in the low 90s across most locations except upper 80s along the beaches. Lows will range from the low to mid 70s. && .LONG TERM /SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY/... The main weather influencer in the long term period will be a large mid level ridge deepening and expanding eastward into the region. This pattern favors lower rain chances and warmer temperatures, though it's worth noting some models show shortwaves dropping out of the northwest flow aloft which could enhance convection potential at times. The forecast currently keeps rain chances no higher than 20%. Otherwise, the story will be the unseasonably hot temperatures. Highs are expected to reach the mid to upper 90s inland. Will need to monitor the potential for heat indices to reach the pre-July 1 criteria of 105F through much of next week. && .AVIATION /19Z THURSDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/... Scattered convection could briefly affect any terminal this afternoon or evening. The best coverage will probably be south of KSAV so at this juncture we cannot pin down timing at a TAF site better than a vicinity thunder mention. By late this evening most activity should be off the coast after the passage of the cold front. Extended Aviation Outlook: Prevailing VFR. Brief flight restrictions possible in mainly afternoon/evening showers and thunderstorms this weekend. && .MARINE... SW winds this evening will become W or NW by late tonight as the cold front approaches the waters. Friday through Tuesday: A stalled front will linger in the vicinity into the weekend. Higher pressure is expected to return next week. Aside from a brief period of northeast/east winds early Friday, winds will predominantly be out of the southwest. Speeds will average around 15 knots or less with seas averaging 2 to 4 feet. && .CHS WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... GA...None. SC...None.
