NWS Charleston, SC wrote its last area forecast discussion before the first event at Jul 14, 3:01 PM EST, 17 minutes earlier.
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE CHARLESTON SC 401 PM EDT SAT JUL 14 2007 .SYNOPSIS... A FRONTAL BOUNDARY STALLED OVER THE REGION WILL LIFT BACK TOWARD THE NORTH TONIGHT. THE INTERACTION OF THIS FRONT AND AN UPPER LEVEL TROUGH OF LOW PRESSURE WILL INCREASE THE CHANCE FOR SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS THROUGH SUNDAY. ATLANTIC HIGH PRESSURE WILL THEN BUILD OVER THE AREA FOR NEXT WEEK. && .NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/... FRONTAL BOUNDARY REMAINS STALLED ACROSS SOUTHEAST SC AND GA THIS AFTERNOON...PROVIDING THE NECESSARY SUPPORT FOR NUMEROUS SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS CURRENTLY ACROSS THE FORECAST AREA. ALTHOUGH MOSTLY REMAINING BELOW SEVERE CRITERIA...THESE STORMS HAVE BEEN QUITE DANGEROUS...PRODUCING EXCESSIVE LIGHTNING AND PERSISTENT LOCALLY HEAVY RAINFALL. EXTENSIVE CLOUD COVER ACROSS THE REGION HAS ACTED TO SUPPRESS SOME INSTABILITY THIS AFTERNOON...HOWEVER LATEST LAPS ANALYSIS STILL INDICATES CAPES UP TO 2500 J/KG ALONG THE SOUTHEAST GA COASTAL COUNTIES. SHORTWAVE ENERGY WILL CONTINUE TO MOVE NORTHEAST INTO THE FORECAST AREA FROM THE GULF OF MEXICO UPPER LEVEL TROUGH. AT THE SURFACE...THE FRONTAL BOUNDARY WILL LINGER THROUGH THE AFTERNOON BEFORE GRADUALLY RETREATING NORTHWARD TONIGHT. WITH FORCING FROM THE UPPER LEVEL ENERGY AND THE SURFACE BOUNDARY...FEEL THAT SHOWER AND THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY WILL BE ABLE TO PERSIST INTO THE NIGHT. INSTABILITY DECREASES A BIT OVERNIGHT...SO HAVE INDICATED LIKELY SHOWERS/THUNDERSTORMS UNTIL ABOUT MIDNIGHT...DECREASING TO CHANCE POPS FOR MOST AREAS EARLY SUNDAY MORNING. LOW TEMPERATURES WILL BE IN THE LOWER TO MID 70S AWAY FROM THE IMMEDIATE COAST. && .SHORT TERM /SUNDAY THROUGH SUNDAY NIGHT/... FRONTAL BOUNDARY WILL BE TO THE NORTH OF THE FORECAST AREA SUNDAY...WHILE UPPER TROUGH OVER THE GULF OF MEXICO CONTINUES TO PUSH SHORTWAVE ENERGY INTO SC AND GA. SINCE THE FRONTAL BOUNDARY PROVIDED SUCH AN IDEAL FOCUS FOR CONVECTIVE DEVELOPMENT TODAY...FEEL THAT THE LOSS OF THIS BOUNDARY MAY REDUCE EXTENT OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ON SUNDAY. ADDITIONALLY...SOUNDINGS AND MODEL RH FIELDS INDICATE SOME DRYING AT MID LEVELS. WHILE THIS MAY REDUCE CLOUD COVER AND AREAL EXTENT OF CONVECTION...DRIER MID LEVELS MAY ALSO INCREASE WIND POTENTIAL AND STRENGTH OF ANY THUNDERSTORMS. SINCE MODEL CAPE AND LIFTED INDICES ARE SUFFICIENT FOR CONVECTIVE DEVELOPMENT...AND THE SEABREEZE MAY BE MORE PROMINENT...WILL MAINTAIN HIGH CHANCE POPS SUNDAY. HIGH TEMPERATURES ON SUNDAY WILL BE A FEW DEGREES WARMER THAN TODAY...AS THERE MAY BE MORE BREAKS IN THE CLOUD COVER AND LESS HEAVY RAINFALL. HAVE TRENDED CHANCE POPS DOWN SUNDAY NIGHT DUE TO DIMINISHING DIURNAL INSTABILITY...WITH ONLY SLIGHT CHANCE POPS AFTER MIDNIGHT. PATCHY FOG COULD BE A POSSIBILITY TONIGHT AND AGAIN SUNDAY NIGHT...MAINLY WHERE RAIN HAS FALLEN. HOWEVER HAVE NOT MENTIONED FOG IN THE FORECAST AT THIS POINT...SINCE PERSISTENT SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS MAY PREVENT WIDESPREAD LOW VISIBILITIES. && .LONG TERM /MONDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/... MODEL GUIDANCE CONTINUES TO SHOW MON AS A TRANSITION DAY FROM THE DEEP MOISTURE OF THIS WEEKEND TO A BUILDING RIDGE FROM THE W ATLC. WE TRIMMED BACK MORNING POPS A BIT ON MON BUT CONTINUED WITH 30 POPS FOR MON AFTN. PARTLY CLOUDY SKIES SHOULD ALLOW HIGHS TO REACH THE LOWER 90S W OF INTERSTATE 95...NEAR 90 CLOSER TO THE COAST. TUE THROUGH SAT...12Z GFS HAS TRENDED MORE TOWARD BREAKING THE NRN END OF THE DEEP LAYERED RIDGE DOWN TOWARD MID WEEK AND INCREASING CONVECTIVE CHCS A BIT MORE THAN EARLIER RUNS. WE BELIEVE RIDGE SHOULD HOLD ENOUGH TO CONTINUE OUR PREVIOUS POP SCHEME WITH GOOD PERSISTENCE. CONVECTION SHOULD BE MAINLY TRIGGERED BY BOTH SEA AND LAND BREEZES WITH POSSIBLY A WEAK INLAND SFC TROF BY MID TO LATE WEEK. HIGH TEMPERATURES EACH DAY IN THE LOWER TO MID 90S WITH LOWS IN THE 70S. HEAT INDICES ARE EXPECTED TO RANGE FROM 100-103 AT MANY AREAS EACH AFTN. && .AVIATION /19Z SATURDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/... IFR CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED THROUGHOUT MUCH OF THE TAF PERIOD FOR THE CHS TERMINAL AND TEMPORARILY THIS EVENING AT THE SAV TERMINAL. THE MAIN ISSUE WILL BE THE LOWERING OF VSBYS AND CEILINGS DUE TO HEAVY SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS. A SFC BOUNDARY HAS STALLED OVER THE CHS TERMINAL ALLOWING SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS TO CONTINUE TO DEVELOP OVER THE SAME AREA. VSBYS MAY BE REDUCED TO IFR STATUS DUE TO VERY HEAVY RAINFALL THROUGH 00Z. OTHERWISE...MVFR CEILINGS WILL BE OBSERVED THROUGH THE TAF PERIOD. QUESTIONS REMAIN OVER NIGHT WITH ACTIVITY IN THE AREA. HAVE OPTED TO KEEP VICINITY SHOWERS AFTER 6 Z. LATER TAF AMENDMENTS MAY BE NEEDED FOR THIS ACTIVITY. THE SAV TERMINAL WILL ALSO SEE CONDITIONS LOWER AS THE EVENING APPROACHES. SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ARE EXPECTED TO MOVE OVER THE AREA BY 19 Z AND PRODUCE IFR VSBYS AND CEILINGS. THIS ACTIVITY WILL BE MORE ISOLATED IN NATURE THAN SEEN AT THE CHS TERMINAL BUT POSSIBLY MORE INTENSE SINCE THE ATMOSPHERE IS MORE UNSTABLE OVER GEORGIA. EXPECT THUNDERSTORMS TO BECOME SHOWERS BY 23 Z AS DAYTIME HEATING IS LOST. AN UNCERTAINTY IN SHOWERS AFTER THIS TIME EXISTS BUT HAVE OPTED TO KEEP VICINITY SHOWERS THROUGHOUT THE REST OF THE TAF PERIOD. LATER TAF AMENDMENTS MAY BE NEEDED IF SHOWER ACTIVITY IS OBSERVED LONGER THAN EXPECTED. A GENERAL WIND SHIFT FROM SOUTH TO SOUTHWEST WILL BE OBSERVED AT BOTH TERMINALS OVER THE 24 HOUR TAF PERIOD WITH WIND SPEEDS AROUND 6 KNOTS. EXTENDED AVIATION OUTLOOK...SUNDAY AFTERNOON WILL SEE A CONTINUATION OF SCATTERED STORMS...BRINGING THE POSSIBILITY OF SOME IFR CEILINGS AND VISIBILITIES. GENERALLY VFR CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED MON THROUGH FRI OF NEXT WEEK WITH SOME MVFR EXPECTED WITH SCATTERED CONVECTION IN THE AFTERNOONS. && .MARINE... FRONTAL BOUNDARY CURRENTLY ACROSS THE SC COASTAL WATERS AND JUST INLAND OF THE GEORGIA WATERS WILL REMAIN STALLED UNTIL TONIGHT...THEN PUSH BACK TOWARD THE NORTH NORTHWEST. EXPECT CURRENT SOUTHERLY WINDS ACROSS THE MARINE ZONES TO VEER SOUTHWEST OVERNIGHT. LOW LEVEL JET NEARS THE OFFSHORE WATERS OVERNIGHT...SO HAVE ALLOWED SOUTHWEST WINDS OVER THE OUTER GEORGIA WATERS TO INCREASE TO 15 TO 20 KT AFTER MIDNIGHT. BASIC SOUTH TO SOUTHWEST FLOW WILL PERSIST ON SUNDAY...WITH LOCALLY ENHANCED WINDS NEARSHORE AT OR BELOW 15 KT. BOUNDARY LAYER WINDS DO NOT LOOK AS STRONG SUNDAY NIGHT...SO HAVE CAPPED SOUTHWEST WINDS OVER THE OUTER GEORGIA WATERS TO 15 KT. A TYPICAL SUMMER PATTERN IS ANTICIPATED FOR MUCH OF THE UPCOMING WEEK...BERMUDA RIDGE IN CONTROL WITH S TO SE WINDS OVER THE GEORGIA WATERS AND S TO SW DIRECTIONS ACROSS THE SOUTH CAROLINA WATERS. SPEEDS EXPECTED TO REMAIN MOSTLY AOB 15 KT AND SEAS 2 TO 4 FT. && .TIDES/COASTAL FLOODING... EXPECT TIDES TO REMAIN BELOW CRITICAL LEVELS THIS EVENING AND SUNDAY EVENING. HOWEVER...SINCE EVENING HIGH TIDES WILL BE LESS THAN 1/2 FOOT BELOW SHALLOW COASTAL FLOODING THRESHHOLDS...THIS WILL BEAR CLOSE SCRUTINY THIS WEEKEND. && .CHS WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... GA...NONE. SC...NONE. MARINE...NONE. &&
