Drought in South Carolina, April 1 to 30, 2001

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE CHARLESTON SC
920 PM EST SAT MAR 31 2001

SURFACE TROUGH EXTENDS ACROSS FORECAST AREA THIS EVENING AND EXPECT
IT TO MOVE OFFSHORE LATER TONIGHT SHIFTING WINDS FROM
SOUTH/SOUTHWEST TO WEST. SEA FOG HAS BEEN MAIN CONCERN DURING THE
EVENING. IT WAS BANKED UP RIGHT ALONG THE CHARLESTON COUNTY COAST
BUT RECENT CALLS HAVE NOT INDICATED ANY OF IT OVER LAND. WINDS
SHOULD PUSH IT AWAY FROM THE AREA. EXPECT TO LIMIT MENTION OF FOG TO
THE SOUTH CAROLINA COASTAL WATERS BARRING ANY FURTHER REPORTS AND
EVEN THERE WILL INDICATE IMPROVING TREND.

SHOWERS HAVE LONG DISSIPATED WITH JUST SOME MID LEVEL MOISTURE
REMAINING. LOOKS LIKE SKY CONDITION WILL BE PARTLY CLOUDY AT WORST.
IN ADDITION WILL BE ABLE TO REMOVE MENTION OF PRECIPITATION FOR THE
REST OF THE NIGHT. FORECAST TEMPERATURES STILL SEEM REASONABLE AND
DO NOT EXPECT TO MAKE MUCH IF ANY CHANGE IN THAT REGARD. COASTAL
WATERS FORECAST LOOKS OK WITH JUST SOME SLIGHT ADJUSTMENTS TO
INITIAL CONDITIONS. SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY CONDITIONS SHOULD STILL BE
MORE THAN 12 HOURS FROM THIS ISSUANCE SO WILL CONTINUE WITH SAME
HEADLINE AS PREVIOUS FORECAST.
