The combination of the inland pushing sea breeze and outflow boundaries from convection earlier in the day, resulted in a cluster of strong to severe thunderstorms across southeast Georgia.

The episode as NWS CHS wrote it up.
The combination of the inland pushing sea breeze and outflow boundaries from convection earlier in the day, resulted in a cluster of strong to severe thunderstorms across southeast Georgia.

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE CHARLESTON SC
512 PM EDT THU JUL 22 2010
.SYNOPSIS...
HIGH PRESSURE RIDGING WILL PERSIST ACROSS THE REGION...WHILE A
TROUGH OF LOW PRESSURE LINGERS INLAND THROUGH EARLY NEXT WEEK.
&&
.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM FRIDAY MORNING/...
HAVE EXTENDED THE HEAT ADVISORY FOR ALL AREAS UNTIL 8 PM. HEAT
INDEX VALUES OF 105-110 WILL PERSIST FOR A FEW MORE HOUR. VALUES
HAVE REACH 115 AT THE CHARLESTON AIRPORT WHERE DEWPOINT HAVE
POOLED INTO THE LOWER 80S WITH THE SEA BREEZE. THIS TECHNICALLY
BREACHES EXCESSIVE HEAT WARNING CRITERIA...BUT WILL NOT UPGRADE
ATTM GIVEN VALUES HAVE LIKELY PEAKED.
KCLX RADAR SHOWS A LARGE BOUNDARY COLLISION WILL LIKELY OCCUR FROM
BULLOCH COUNTY NORTHEAST TO WESTERN COLLETON COUNTY OVER THE NEXT
1-2 HOURS. THIS COULD SPARK ADDITIONAL TSTMS THROUGH EARLY
EVENING...ALTHOUGH THE ATMOSPHERE APPEARS SOMEWHAT CAPPED. WILL
INCREASE SHORT TERM POPS TO 40 PERCENT.
CONSIDERING WHAT HAS TRANSPIRED OVER THE PAST HOUR OR SO...CONFIDENCE
IS INCREASING THAT ANOTHER HEAT ADVISORY WILL BE NEEDED FOR VALUES
OF 106-112 DEGREES...WITH A POTENTIAL FOR ANOTHER REPEAT OF 115
DEGREES FOR PARTS OF THE TRI-COUNTY AREA. MAY CONSIDER ISSUING AN
EXCESSIVE HEAT WATCH AFTER LOOKING AT ADDITIONAL DATA. OBVIOUSLY...MODELS
ARE HANDING DEWPOINT TRENDS RATHER POORLY. WILL MAKE THESE
DECISIONS AFTER THE 8 PM EXPIRATION TIME OF THE CURRENT ADVISORY.
SKIES SHOULD CLEAR AFTER MIDNIGHT WITH TEMPS DROPPING INTO THE
LOWER TO MIDDLE 70S.
&&
.SHORT TERM /6 AM FRIDAY MORNING THROUGH SUNDAY/...
A STRONG UPPER LEVEL RIDGE...COMBINED WITH ATLANTIC SURFACE HIGH
PRESSURE...WILL MAINTAIN A VERY HOT AND HUMID PATTERN FOR THE
SOUTHEAST STATES THROUGH THE WEEKEND. THE MAIN FORECAST CONCERNS
DURING THE SHORT TERM PERIOD INVOLVE CONTINUED HEAT ADVISORY
CONDITIONS AND THE POTENTIAL SUPPRESSION OF DIURNAL CONVECTION.
THE AXIS OF THE RIDGE ALOFT WILL BE SITUATED DIRECTLY OVER THE
FORECAST AREA ON FRIDAY...WITH HEIGHTS ALOFT REACHING AN IMPRESSIVE
597 DAM. TROPICAL DEPRESSION THREE...CURRENTLY LOCATED OVER THE
CARIBBEAN...WILL TRACK SOUTH OF FLORIDA INTO THE GULF OF MEXICO ON
FRIDAY. MODELS ARE IN FAIRLY GOOD AGREEMENT DEPICTING THE FORECAST
AREA FALLING WITHIN A SWATH OF DRY AIR NORTH OF THE TROPICAL
SYSTEM ON FRIDAY. CONSIDERING THE STRONG SUBSIDENCE WITHIN HIGH
PRESSURE...AS WELL AS THE LACK OF DEEP MOISTURE...CONVECTION WILL
STRUGGLE TO DEVELOP FRIDAY AFTERNOON. HAVE MENTIONED JUST 15
PERCENT POPS INLAND OF THE SEABREEZE FOR FRIDAY AFTERNOON...AS AN
ISOLATED THUNDERSTORM CANNOT BE RULED OUT WITHIN SUCH HOT AND
HUMID CONDITIONS.
A SLIGHT INCREASE IN SWELL HEIGHT AND PERIOD FRIDAY ALONG WITH
ONSHORE WINDS OF APPROXIMATELY 15 MPH WILL PRODUCE A MODERATE RISK
OF RIP CURRENTS.
WITH HIGH TEMPERATURES RISING INTO THE MID TO UPPER 90S AWAY FROM
THE COAST...AND DEWPOINTS IN THE LOWER TO MID 70S...HEAT INDICES
WILL REACH 105 TO 107 DEGREES ACROSS INLAND AREAS FOR A FEW HOURS
IN THE AFTERNOON. ANOTHER HEAT ADVISORY WILL LIKELY BE NEEDED FOR
FRIDAY AFTERNOON. WILL HOLD OFF ISSUING THE ADVISORY WITH THE
AFTERNOON PACKAGE SO THAT SUBSEQUENT SHIFTS CAN TAKE ONE MORE LOOK
AT MODELS AND TRENDS TO DETERMINE TIMING AND EXTENT.
AS THE TROPICAL SYSTEM SHIFTS INTO THE GULF OF MEXICO ON
SATURDAY...A BAND OF DEEPER MOISTURE COULD BRUSH THE SOUTHEAST
GEORGIA COUNTIES. AS A RESULT...EXPECT A SLIGHTLY IMPROVED CHANCE
FOR SHOWERS/THUNDERSTORM TO DEVELOP GENERALLY SOUTH OF INTERSTATE
16 IN GEORGIA...WHILE CONVECTIVE POTENTIAL JUST TO THE NORTH WILL
STILL BE QUITE LIMITED. HAVE THEREFORE INDICATED 30 PERCENT POPS
FOR THE SOUTHERN MOST COUNTIES...DECREASING TO BELOW 15 PERCENT
FOR THE CHARLESTON TRI COUNTY AREA SATURDAY AFTERNOON.
THE UPPER RIDGE REMAINS STRONG THROUGH SUNDAY...AND WITH NO
NOTICEABLE ENHANCEMENT TO MOISTURE OR SUPPORT...HAVE INDICATED
JUST SLIGHT CHANCE POPS AWAY FROM THE COAST DURING THE FAVORED
AFTERNOON/EARLY EVENING HOURS.
HEAT WILL CONTINUE TO BE AN ISSUE SATURDAY AND SUNDAY...WITH
INDICES ABOVE 105 DEGREES AT MANY LOCATIONS FOR A FEW HOURS
DURING THE AFTERNOONS. ADVISORIES WILL LIKELY BE NEEDED EACH DAY.
&&
.LONG TERM /SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY/...
LONG TERM MODELS STILL SHOW THE RIDGE BREAKING DOWN SUNDAY NIGHT
INTO MONDAY TO ALLOW A FRONT INTO THE REGION FROM THE NORTH.
HOWEVER...THE RIDGE LOOKS A BIT STRONGER COMPARED TO PREVIOUS
RUNS...SO THE FRONT COULD REMAIN NORTH OF THE AREA...STALLING OUT
BEFORE LIFTING BACK NORTH EARLY NEXT WEEK. THE FRONT COULD REMAIN
FAR ENOUGH NORTH TO HAVE NEGLIGIBLE SURFACE CONVERGENCE EFFECTS OVER
THE AREA...WHILE THE UPPER RIDGE BUILDS BACK IN TO KEEP ANY MOISTURE
FROM THE SOUTHERN TROPICAL WAVE AWAY FROM THE AREA. THE NET EFFECT
WILL BE CONTINUED SLGT/LOW CHC RANGE POPS THROUGH THE FIRST HALF
OF NEXT WEEK.
HOT/HUMID CONDITIONS WILL CONTINUE THROUGH THE FIRST HALF OF NEXT
WEEK WITH HIGHS REACHING THE MID 90S AWAY FROM THE COAST. THERE MAY
CONTINUE TO BE THE NEED FOR HEAT ADVISORIES IN THE FIRST PART OF
NEXT WEEK...ESPECIALLY IF THE FRONT REMAINS FAR ENOUGH NORTH.
&&
.AVIATION /21Z THURSDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...
A QUICK AMENDMENT WAS ISSUED FOR KSAV TO INCLUDE A BRIEF MENTION
OF 5SM -TSRA AT KSAV THROUGH 21Z. RADAR SHOWS A TSTMS ABOUT 10 MILES
EAST OF THE TERMINAL MOVING WEST.
CONVECTIVE POTENTIAL THIS AFTERNOON/EVENING IS THE PRIMARY
AVIATION CONCERN FOR THE 18Z ISSUANCE. CONVECTION SHOULD BE A BIT
MORE ISOLATED AROUND CHS AS ACTIVITY INITIATES ALONG THE
SEABREEZE...THEN EXPAND IN COVERAGE AS IT DRIFTS SW INTO SOUTHEAST
GA. THUS SAV PROBABLY HAS A BETTER SHOT AT A TSTM LATE IN THE
AFTERNOON.
LOW-LEVEL WINDS WILL BE WEAKER OVERNIGHT WITH A SLIGHT ONSHORE
FETCH. THIS COULD DROP VSBYS TO AROUND 6SM AT EITHER TERMINAL
AROUND DAYBREAK FRIDAY. UPPER RIDGING SHOULD REDUCE CONVECTIVE
COVERAGE ON FRIDAY BUT ISOLATED TSTMS STILL POSSIBLE.
EXTENDED AVIATION OUTLOOK....MAINLY VFR CONDITIONS OUTSIDE OF ANY
ISOLATED MAINLY DIURNAL CONVECTION. PATCHY MVFR HAZE POSSIBLE..BUT
CONFIDENCE AT THIS POINT IN VSBY RESTRICTIONS IS QUITE LOW.
&&
.MARINE...
ATLANTIC HIGH PRESSURE WILL REMAIN THE DOMINANT FEATURE OVER THE
MARINE AREA THROUGH EARLY NEXT WEEK. EXPECT A TYPICAL SUMMERTIME
PATTERN...WITH WINDS REACHING UP TO 15 KT IN AFTERNOON SEABREEZE
AND NOCTURNAL SURGES.
WILL CONTINUE TO MONITOR TRENDS REGARDING A TROPICAL DEPRESSION
FAR TO THE SOUTH...WHICH COULD TIGHTEN THE GRADIENT AS IT PASSES
INTO THE GULF OF MEXICO LATE FRIDAY INTO SATURDAY. SEAS WILL
LIKELY BUILD OVER THE WEEKEND DUE TO ENHANCED SOUTHEAST FLOW FROM THE
TROPICAL SYSTEM...POSSIBLY REACHING 6 FT SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY
CONDITIONS FRIDAY EVENING INTO SATURDAY FOR THE OFFSHORE GEORGIA
ZONES.
