.PREVIOUS DISCUSSION...
SHORT TERM /THIS AFTERNOON/...MUCH OF SRN SC AND SE GA REMAINS
PINNED BTWN ATLC HIGH PRES TO THE E AND TS ARLENE TO THE SW. THE
RESULTING E/SE FLOW CONTINUES TO TRANSPORT COPIOUS AMOUNTS OF
TROPICAL MOISTURE INTO THE RGN...ESP ACROSS SE GA. THE 12Z SOUNDINGS
FROM CHS AND JAX SHOW INTERESTING MOISTURE AND INSTABILITY PROFILES
WITH MUCH DRIER AIR AND A PRONOUNCED CAPPING INVERSION NOTED AT CHS.
THE CAPPING INVERSION IS LIKELY THE RESULT OF INCRG SUBSIDENCE FM
THE SUBTROPICAL RIDGE BUILDING TO THE E. THE BEST PCPN CHANCES WL
RESIDE S OF THE SAVANNAH RIVER THIS AFTN AND EVNG WHERE THE AFFECTS
OF THE SUBTROPICAL RIDGE WL BE LESS.
WL REORGANIZE MANY OF THE ZONE COMBINATIONS TO BETTER REFLECT THE
GOING PCPN TRENDS...SHOWING THE HIGHEST POPS /70 OR 80 PERCENT/ FOR
AREAS ACROSS THE SW INTERIOR AND ALONG THE ALTAMAHA RIVER. THIS AREA
WL BE CLOSEST BEST DYNAMIC LIFT AND TROPICAL MOISTURE FEED ASSOC
WITH ARLENE/S LARGE CIRCULATION. PRONOUNCED DRY SLOT ROTATING AROUND
ARLENE WL LIKELY MOVE INTO SE GA LTR THIS AFTN. THIS MAY HELP TO
ENHANCE THE CONVECTIVE POTENTIAL AND WITH A PRONOUNCED TURNING OF
THE WNDS NOTED ON AREA VWPS THERE WL BE A RISK FOR ISOLD TORNADOES
SHOULD ENOUGH INSTABILITY DVLP. SPC ALREADY HAS A TORNADO WATCH OUT
FOR FAR SRN GA AND NRN FL. WL CONTINUE TO MONITOR CONVECTIVE TRENDS
THROUGH THE AFTN.
MARINE...CONDITIONS CONTINUE TO SLOWLY DETERIORATE ACROSS THE WTRS
THIS MRNG WITH THE WORST CONDITIONS BEING CONFINED TO THE GA AND FAR
SRN SC WTRS. BUOY AND TOWER OBSERVATIONS INDICATE SEAS ARE AOA 6 FT
WITH INCREASING SWELL NOTED IN THE SPECTRAL DATA. SWELLS AT 41008
HAVE INCRD TO 3-4 FT OVR THE PAST FEW HRS WITH A 2-3 FT WIND WAVE ON
TOP OF THAT. WL MAINTAIN THE SCA FOR HAZARDOUS SEAS FOR ALL BUT THE
WTRS N OF EDISTO BEACH WHERE SCEC WL SUFFICE. WNDS HAVE BEEN HOWLING
IN THE CHARLESTON HARBOR FOR THE PAST FEW HRS. SEE REASON WHY
MARGINAL SCA WNDS WL NOT PERSIST INTO THE AFTN SO WL GO AHEAD AND
RAISE FLAGS FOR THE HARBOR WITH THIS PKG.
AVIATION...EXTENSIVE MID AND HIGH-LVL CLOUDINESS WL IMPACT BOTH
TERMINALS THROUGH THE NXT 24 HRS. SCATTERED SHOWERS WL LIKELY AFFECT
SAV LATER THIS AFTN AS A FEEDER BAND ROTATING AROUND ARLENE MOVES
INTO SE GA. FARTHER N PCPN CHANCES ARE NOT NEARLY AS HIGH AT CHS
WITH SUBTROPICAL RIDGING BUILDS IN FM THE E. BOTH TERMINALS WL
LIKELY SEE BKN-OVC CIGS IN THE MVFR OFF AND ON THROUGHOUT THROUGH
SUN MRNG.
