Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Columbia SC
152 PM EDT Mon Jun 9 2025

.SYNOPSIS...
The threat of severe weather returns again with increasing rain
chances this afternoon. Showers and thunderstorms are most
likely later this evening through the early overnight hours. As
an upper trough lifts away from the region, we should
transition to less organized and more typical summertime pulse
convection through the remainder of the week and into next
weekend.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...
Key Message(s):

- Shower and thunderstorm chances increase this afternoon, with
  a few strong to severe thunderstorms possible through the
  early overnight hours.

Satellite imagery this afternoon shows scattered cumulus across
much of the forecast area. A singular shower continues to trek
east across our southern counties and we are monitoring
additional development across Georgia, which could clip the
northern CSRA during the next few hours. Latest model guidance
suggests that showers and thunderstorms will be most likely in
our FA later this evening and into the early overnight hours,
from roughly 6pm to 3am. This timing lines up with the passage
of a shortwave, which should aid in convective development even
after the sun sets. The SPC maintains a Slight (2/5) risk for
severe weather across our entire CWA, with damaging wind gusts
as the primary hazard. Latest SPC mesoanalysis shows CAPE values
in excess of 1000 J/kg across much of the region, though the
overall shear is unimpressive. DCAPE values are in excess of
1000 J/kg across the northern half of our CWA where PWATs are
lower indicating the presence of more dry air. While isolated
development cannot be ruled out, the lack of significant large
scale forcing would suggest the threat will be highest when the
aforementioned shortwave arrives towards evening. Temperatures
should peak in the mid to upper 80s southwest and the upper 80s
to lower 90s southeast, falling into the upper 60s to lower 70s
by daybreak Tuesday

&&

.SHORT TERM /TUESDAY THROUGH TUESDAY NIGHT/...
Key Message(s):

- Additional scattered convection possible on Tuesday.

As an upper-lvl trough pushes eastward across the Ohio River Valley,
an associated cold front will move towards the region and then stall
nearby. This will result in isolated to scattered showers to develop
throughout the day. Despite there being ample amount of instability
(~1250-1500 J/kg) and DCAPE (~750-1000 J/kg) present, the overall
shear looks rather unimpressive. With this, a few storms may become
severe and the main threats would be damaging wind gusts and locally
heavy rainfall. Shifting into the evening hours, rain chances will
begin to diminish across the western counties as drier air mixes
into the region. However, rain chances will remain over the eastern
counties where deep moisture continues to filter in. Highs will
climb into the mid to upper 80s. Lows will range in the mid to upper
60s.

&&

.LONG TERM /WEDNESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/...
Key Message(s):

-Typical summertime afternoon thunderstorms continues but the severe
threat remains low.

As weak upper-lvl ridging builds into the region from the south
throughout the week, a series of upper-lvl disturbances will likely
glide through the region. The aforementioned stalled front will
finally shift out of the region as a weak warm front lifts across
sometime on Thursday. Most guidance tends to suggest that showers
and thunderstorms will be primarily diurnally driven and the region
will enter into a more typical summerlike pattern. With a good
amount of moisture still available, any sort of forcing mechanism
will trigger showers and thunderstorms to develop. Temperatures stay
close to normal for this time of year.

&&

.AVIATION /17Z MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/...
Restrictions Possible Later Today from Showers and Thunderstorms,
FOllowed by Low Ceilings Tonight....

All terminals are VFR this afternoon as scattered cumulus
clouds with ceilings between 4000 and 5000 feet pass through the
region. Surface winds will continue to be gusty at times, with
the highest gusts being observed at CAE/CUB so far. Have pushed
back the timing of restrictions due to showers and thunderstorms
based on the latest guidance. Rain chances increase as the
afternoon goes on with restrictions most likely at AGS/DNL
between 22Z and 02Z, CAE/CUB between 23Z and 03Z, and between
00Z and 04Z at OGB. Having said that, more isolated development
cannot be ruled out outside of these windows and trends will be
monitored as the day goes on. Latest guidance shows ceilings
falling behind the convection, with all sites dropping to at
least low MVFR ceilings towards daybreak. Conditions should
gradually improve late in the TAF period as the low stratus
transitions to scattered cumulus.

EXTENDED AVIATION OUTLOOK...Brief flight restrictions are possible
each day with typical summertime thunderstorms throughout the
week.
