AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE CHARLESTON SC
1010 AM EDT MON AUG 22 2005
.SHORT TERM /TODAY/...A VERY WARM AND MUGGY START TO THE DAY WITH
ANOTHER HOT AFTN ACROSS THE AREA...ALTHOUGH NOT QUITE AS HOT AS YDA.
DESPITE A WEAKENING UPPER RIDGE...WITH H85 TEMPS B/W 19-20 DEG
C...EXPECT TEMPS IN THE MID 90S WITH HEAT INDICES OF 105 TO 110.
ONLY FLY IN THE OINTMENT WILL BE THE HIGH CLOUDS STREAMING ONSHORE
OF CHS COUNTY FROM CONVECTION OVER THE ATLC. HOWEVER...SINCE THERE
IS NO TIME STIPULATION ON HEAT INDICES...WILL CONTINUE WITH HEAT
ADVISORY FOR ALL AREAS AWAY FROM THE IMMEDIATE COAST.
OTHERWISE...12Z CHS SOUNDING SHOWING A PWAT OF 2.3 INCHES WITH
PLENTY OF INSTABILITY /-9.6 LI/. WEAK COLD FRNT JUST N OF THE AREA
THIS MORNING WITH NOTICEABLY DRIER AIR ACROSS MUCH OF NC WILL HAVE A
HARD TIME MAKING ANY HEADWAY THIS FAR S TODAY. HOWEVER...WITH AIDED
SFC CONVERGENCE DUE TO LEE TROUGHING...THE SEA BREEZE...AND ANY
OUTFLOW BOUNDARIES THAT DEVELOP...THINK A RANGE OF 30 POPS NEAR THE
COAST TO 50 INLAND IS REASONABLE. UPDATE WILL MAINLY BE TO CLEAN UP
MORNING WORDING.
&&

SC WATERS WITH WEAK SFC FRONT/TROUGH JUST N OF THE AREA. EXPECT
WINDS TO INCREASE A BIT ALONG COASTAL AREAS WITH THE SEA BREEZE.

RAIN CHANCES BASED ON ONGOING CONVECTION.
&&
.AVIATION...VSBYS SLOWLY IMPROVING AT THE TERMS THIS
MORNING...ALTHOUGH A BIT MORE QUICKLY AT KSAV. SOME MVFR CIGS HAVE
ROLLED INTO CHS AND HAVE ALREADY AMENDED TO ACCOUNT FOR THIS. NOT
SURE HOW LONG THEY WILL PERSIST SO WILL CONTINUE TO MONITOR. WILL
ALSO CONTINUE TO MENTION CB IN TAFS THIS AFTERNOON WITH SCT
SHWR/TSTM DEVELOPMENT EXPECTED AS SEA BREEZE PUSHES INLAND.
HOWEVER...TOO MUCH UNCERTAINTY IN TIMING AND COVERAGE TO INCLUDE
PRECIP IN TAFS ATTM. EXPECT MVFR VSBYS WILL RETURN TO BOTH TERMINAL
SITES IN THE EVENING WITH LIGHT GRADIENT FLOW AND CONTINUED HIGH
HUMIDITY.
