AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE CHARLESTON SC 330 PM EDT MON JUN 3 2002 TROF OVER THE WESTERN U.S. IS HELPING TO BUILD AND STRENGTHEN THE UPPER RIDGE OVER THE SOUTHEAST. THE ETA MODELS KEEPS THE 500-700MB HIGH CENTERED OVER THE CWA THROUGH LATE WEDNESDAY...GIVING US QUITE A BIT OF HAZE. THIS RIDGE SHOULD MEAN FAIR WEATHER FOR THE NEXT FEW DAYS AS ONSHORE WINDS RETURN AND HELPS TO COOL THINGS DOWN JUST A BIT. THE SURFACE HIGH TO THE NORTH WILL SHIFT EAST OVER THE ATLANTIC ON TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY...KEEPING US WITH EAST AND SOUTHEAST WINDS. THE AVN IS A LITTLE FASTER IN MOVING THE RIDGE TO THE EAST OFF THE COAST. ON WATER VAPOR LOOPS...THE UPPER LOW OVER THE GULF HAS STARTED TO MOVE NORTHEAST...BUT SHOULD NOT AFFECT OUR AREA SIGNIFICANTLY IF THE RIDGE HOLDS ITS GROUND. RH TIME SECTIONS OVER THE AREA HAVE NOT BEEN REPRESENTATIVE OF CURRENT CLOUD COVER AS SUBSIDENCE FROM THE RIDGE HAS HELP TO KEEP CLOUD COVER TO A MINIMUM. LATEST AVN LOOKS VERY MESSY WITH ENERGY CUTTING OFF OVER THE SOUTHEAST STATES AND NOT ALLOWING A COOL FRONT TO PASS THROUGH BY LATE WEEK. THIS IS DIFFERENT THAN LAST NIGHTS MRF WHICH CUTS OFF THE ENERGY OVER TEXAS AND ALLOWS A GOOD S/W TROF TO MOVE NORTH OF THE AREA AND BUILDS A SFC HIGH PRESSURE AREA DOWN OVER THE CWA THIS WEEKEND. PREFER THE FRONTAL PASSAGE...BUT WILL NOT BE AS AGGRESSIVE ON LOWERING TEMPS. WILL CARRY SLIGHT POPS THROUGH THE EXTENDED DUE TO THE UNCERTAINTY OF THE PATTERN. MARINE...WEAK ONSHORE FLOW WILL CONTINUE FOR THE NEXT SEVERAL DAYS WITH NO FLAGS EXPECTED.
