AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE CHARLESTON SC 340 PM EDT SAT JUL 29 2006 .SHORT TERM /TONIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY NIGHT/...CONVECTION HAS ALREADY INITIATED AHEAD OF THE SEABREEZE BOUNDARY IN BERKELEY AND DORCHESTER COUNTIES. ADDITIONAL THUNDERSTORMS WILL DEVELOP...AS SEABREEZE SLOWLY MOVES INLAND AND THE UPPER SHORTWAVE OVER THE TENNESSEE VALLEY PROGRESSES TOWARD THE COAST. HAVE INCREASED POPS TO LIKELY ALONG THE FAR INLAND SECTIONS OF THE CWA IN ANTICIPATION OF INTERACTIONS BETWEEN UPSTREAM CONVECTIVE BOUNDARIES AND THE SEABREEZE FRONT LATER THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING. CHANCE POPS WILL BE MAINTAINED FOR THE REMAINDER OF THE FORECAST AREA. LAPS ANALYSIS IS SHOWING BEST INSTABILITY IN THE SOUTH CAROLINA COUNTIES...WITH CAPES CURRENTLY ABOVE 3000 J/KG. HOWEVER...WITH MOISTURE CONVERGENCE INCREASING TO THE SOUTHWEST AROUND VALDOSTA GEORGIA...AFTERNOON CONVECTION STILL QUITE POSSIBLE IN THE SOUTHERN CWA. UPPER SHORTWAVE WILL MOVE THROUGH THE AREA TONIGHT...THUS CHANCE POPS WILL CONTINUE OVERNIGHT FOR ALL ZONES. UPPER TROUGH WILL REMAIN OVER THE SOUTHEAST STATES ON SUNDAY.

THE CWA WILL REMAIN BETWEEN THE ATLANTIC SURFACE RIDGE OFFSHORE AND PERSISTENT SURFACE TROFFINESS ALONG THE EAST COAST. THIS PATTERN SHOULD ALLOW SEABREEZE TO DEVELOP AND MOVE INLAND EACH DAY...WITH THE POSSIBILITY OF SCATTERED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS. HAVE FOLLOWED TYPICAL SUMMERTIME PATTERN AND INCLUDED A CHANCE OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS EACH DAY...MAINLY DURING THE AFTERNOON AND EARLY EVENING HOURS. NO MAJOR CHANGES WERE MADE TO THE PREVIOUS EXTENDED FORECAST SINCE MOST EFFORTS WERE FOCUSED ON SHORT TERM DEVELOPMENTS. KEPT TEMPERATURES AND DEWPOINTS CLOSE TO HPC GUIDANCE...WITH HIGHS NEXT WEEK RANGING FROM THE LOWER TO MID 90S. && .MARINE...WE THINK THE TYPICAL DIURNAL FLUCTUATIONS WILL CONTINUE WITH THIS SOUTH TO SOUTHWEST FLOW PATTERN FOR MUCH OF THIS FORECAST CYCLE. WILL INITIALIZE WITH 15 TO 20 KNOTS TONIGHT MOST WATERS AND TREND UP FOR SUN NIGHT WITH 20 KNOTS IN OUR OUTER GEORGIA WATERS AND 15 TO 20 KNOTS ELSEWHERE. WE MAY NEED A SCA IF GFS TRENDS PAN OUT...BUT HAVE NOT COMPLETELY SOLD OUT ON SUCH A STRONG JETTING SOLUTION OFF THE GEORGIA COAST QUITE YET. && .AVIATION...VFR CONDITIONS THROUGH THE FORECAST PERIOD. HAVE MENTION OF VCTS THROUGH 00Z AS CURRENT RADAR IS SHOWING SOME SHOWERS DEVELOPING TO THE NORTH AND WEST OF CHS TERM. MODELS SHOW CHS WITH MORE INSTABILITY AS SAVANNAH WILL STAY CAPPED UNTIL LATE AFTERNOON. && .CHS WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... GA...NONE. SC...NONE. MARINE...NONE. && 79/24/REV
