Clusters of thunderstorms moved over of Georgia into during the late afternoon and interacted with a number of outflow boundaries and the sea breeze to initiate stronger thunderstorms. The atmosphere across the region was highly unstable with surface based CAPE between 3500 to 4000 J/kg and DCAPES near 1200 J/kg.

NWS Charleston, SC wrote its last area forecast discussion before the first event at Jun 5, 2:53 PM EST, 3 hours 12 minutes earlier.
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE CHARLESTON SC 353 PM EDT SAT JUN 5 2010 .SYNOPSIS... ATLANTIC HIGH PRESSURE AND AN INLAND TROUGH OF LOW PRESSURE WILL PERSIST THROUGH SUNDAY. A COLD FRONT WILL PUSH THROUGH THE REGION EARLY MONDAY...FOLLOWED BY HIGH PRESSURE. ANOTHER COLD FRONT COULD APPROACH THE REGION LATE NEXT WEEK. && .NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM SUNDAY MORNING/... SHOWER ACTIVITY HAS BEEN SLOW TO INITIATE THIS AFTERNOON. SOLID OFFSHORE FLOW IN THE MID LEVELS HAS DELAYED SEABREEZE DEVELOPMENT AND ASSOCIATED MOISTURE CONVERGENCE. THE ONLY CONVECTION CURRENTLY ON RADAR IS ISOLATED SHOWERS NORTH OF INTERSTATE 26...HAVING FORMED ON THE EASTERN END OF A LINE OF WEAK CONVECTION EXTENDING ROUGHLY PARALLEL OF THE INTERSTATE WESTWARD INTO THE SOUTH CAROLINA MIDLANDS. ANALYSIS OF WATER VAPOR IMAGERY SUGGESTS THESE SHOWERS ARE ASSOCIATED WITH A DEFORMATION AXIS BETWEEN AN UPPER LOW CENTERED NEAR THE NORTHWEST GULF COAST...THE UPPER RIDGE CENTERED SOUTH OF THE REGION...AND THE WESTERLY JET AXIS TO THE NORTH. A LARGER SWATH OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORM ARE CURRENTLY SOUTH OF THE ALTAMAHA IN SOUTHEAST GEORGIA...LIKELY SUPPORTED BY A COMBINATION OF SHORTWAVE ENERGY FROM THE PERSISTENT UPPER LOW OVER THE WESTERN GULF OF MEXICO AND THE PINNED SEABREEZE. THIS CONVECTION COULD EVENTUALLY SPREAD INTO THE FORECAST AREA DURING THE NEXT FEW HOURS. WILL MAINTAIN A CHANCE OF SHOWERS/THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS THE FORECAST AREA THROUGH SUNSET TO ACCOUNT FOR AN EXPANSION OF COVERAGE FROM THE WEST OR SOUTHWEST. ANY THUNDERSTORMS WITHIN MULTICELL CLUSTERS COULD EXHIBIT PULSE SEVERE CHARACTERISTICS...BRIEFLY INTENSIFYING TO PRODUCE DAMAGING MICROBURSTS. HIGH PRESSURE OVER THE ATLANTIC WILL LINGER TONIGHT...WHILE AN INLAND SURFACE TROUGH BUILDS SOUTH. THE MAIN CONCERN TONIGHT CENTERS ON THE 12Z NAM SOLUTION...WHICH INDICATES A STRONG SHORTWAVE DEVELOPING ALONG THE ALABAMA/GEORGIA BORDER...TRACKING EAST INTO THE FORECAST AREA OVERNIGHT. THE NAM GENERATES CONVECTION WITH THIS UPPER LEVEL FEATURE...SUGGESTING THUNDERSTORMS WILL TRACK INTO THE NORTHERN FORECAST AREA AFTER 00Z. THIS SCENARIO IS NOT DEPICTED IN ANY OF THE OTHER MODELS...AND WAS NOT INDICATED IN PREVIOUS NAM RUNS. AS A RESULT...AM HESITANT TO INDICATE ANY MORE THAN SLIGHT CHANCE POPS OVERNIGHT UNTIL CONVECTIVE TRENDS ARE MORE APPARENT AND/OR OTHER MODELS COME MORE INTO LINE WITH THE 12Z NAM SOLUTION. OTHERWISE...EXPECT A VERY WARM AND HUMID NIGHT FEATURING LOWS IN THE LOWER TO MID 70S INLAND AND NEAR 80 DEGREES AT THE COAST. && .SHORT TERM /6 AM SUNDAY MORNING THROUGH TUESDAY/... SUNDAY THROUGH MONDAY MORNING...SLIGHT RIDGING WILL GIVE WAY TO A BROAD TROUGH AND ASSOCIATED COLD FRONT LATE SUNDAY/EARLY MONDAY. COMPRESSIONAL HEATING AHEAD OF THE FRONT SUPPORTS HIGH TEMPS IN THE LOW 90S ALONG WITH SFC DEWPOINTS IN THE LOW TO MID 70S SUNDAY AFTERNOON. HEAT INDICES ARE EXPECTED TO REACH 100 F...BUT WILL LIKELY FALL SHORT OF HEAT ADVISORY...105 F. THUS A HEAT ADVISORY IS NOT ANTICIPATED AT THIS TIME. CLOUD COVER MAY ALSO LIMIT AFTERNOON HIGH TEMPS TO AROUND 90 AS AN H5 SHORTWAVE SHIFTS FROM THE NORTHERN GULF TO THE SOUTHEAST. LARGEST IMPACTS WILL LIKELY BE SEEN OVER SOUTHEAST GEORGIA DUE TO THE PROXIMITY OF THE SHORTWAVE AND AN ENHANCED AREA OF AFTERNOON SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WITHIN A MODERATE CAPE/LOW SHEAR ENVIRONMENT. THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY WILL LIKELY BE PULSE TYPE IN NATURE...GIVEN WEAK MID AND UPPER LVL WINDS. A FEW THUNDERSTORMS MAY BECOME STRONG...MAINLY OVER SOUTHEAST GEORGIA...DURING THE EVENING HOURS AS A COLD FRONT BEGINS PUSHING FROM NORTH TO SOUTH THROUGH THE FORECAST AREA. WIND AND HEAVY RAIN WOULD BE THE PRIMARY CONCERNS. THE TIMING OF THE FRONT APPEARS TO BE LATE SUNDAY/EARLY MONDAY...6 TO 12 HOURS LATER THAN PEAK FORCING FROM THE H5 SHORTWAVE...THUS STRONGER WIDESPREAD ACTIVITY IS NOT EXPECTED. ADDITIONAL SHOWER AND THUNDERSTORM DEVELOPMENT WILL LIKELY OCCUR ALONG AN AFTERNOON SEABREEZE OVER PORTIONS OF SOUTHEAST SOUTH CAROLINA AND SOUTHEAST GEORGIA. OVERNIGHT LOWS WILL REMAIN IN THE LOW 70S INLAND AND UPPER 70S ALONG THE COASTS. MONDAY MORNING THROUGH TUESDAY...A WEAKENING COLD FRONT WILL STALL SOUTH OF THE REGION BY DAYBREAK MONDAY MORNING. A FEW SHOWERS MAY LINGER NORTH OF THIS BOUNDARY THROUGH NOON. ACTIVITY WOULD BE CONFINED TO AREAS SOUTH OF INTERSTATE 16 IN SOUTHEAST GEORGIA WHERE PWATS AROUND 1.5 INCHES AND SFC DEWPOINTS NEAR 70 DEGREES REMAIN. HIGH PRESSURE WILL THEN BUILD OVER THE AREA MONDAY AFTERNOON AS THE STALLED BOUNDARY REMAINS WELL SOUTH OF THE FORECAST AREA. A MUCH DRYER AIRMASS WILL SHIFT OVER THE FORECAST AREA LATE MONDAY THROUGH TUESDAY AS NORTH/NORTHEAST FLOW PERSISTS BEHIND THE BOUNDARY. ALTHOUGH HIGH TEMPS WILL REMAIN IN THE UPPER 80S TO NEAR 90 MONDAY AND TUESDAY AFTERNOON...CONDITIONS WILL FEEL LESS MUGGY THAN PREVIOUS DAYS AS DEWPOINTS DECREASE TO THE MID/UPPER 60S UNDER A NORTH/NORTHEAST FLOW. A DRY FORECAST IS ANTICIPATED MONDAY AFTERNOON THROUGH TUESDAY WITH A LACK OF FORCING MECHANISMS AND THE BUILDING OF HIGH PRESSURE OVER THE SOUTHEAST. && .LONG TERM /TUESDAY NIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY/... HIGH PRESSURE WILL PERSIST OVER THE SOUTHEAST THROUGH WEDNESDAY. A SLIGHT CHANCE OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL RETURN...MAINLY IN ASSOCIATION WITH AN AFTERNOON SEABREEZE. HIGH PRESSURE WILL THEN SLIDE TO THE SOUTHEAST AND ALLOW AN ONSHORE FLOW TO DEVELOP THURSDAY THROUGH SATURDAY. HOT AND HUMID CONDITIONS ARE LIKELY TO RETURN WITH HIGH TEMPS IN THE LOW/MID 90S AND SFC DEWPOINTS BACK INTO THE LOW/MID 70S. CHANCES OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL INCREASE THURSDAY THROUGH SATURDAY AS AMPLE MOISTURE RETURNS TO THE SOUTHEAST. ADDITIONALLY...A BACKDOOR COLD FRONT MAY PUSH THROUGH THE AREA FROM THE NORTH LATE IN THE PERIOD...BUT TIMING AND POSITION OF THE FRONT REMAIN HIGHLY UNCERTAIN AT THIS TIME. && .AVIATION /19Z SATURDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/... LITTLE SIGNIFICANT CHANGE WAS NEEDED TO THE ONGOING TAFS WITH THE 18Z ISSUANCE. SEABREEZE DEVELOPMENT HAS BEEN DELAYED WITHIN A MORE SOLID OFFSHORE LOW TO MID LEVEL FLOW...AND WINDS WILL LIKELY BACK NO FURTHER THAN 230 DEGREES FROM THE SOUTHWEST BY 20Z. WINDS HAVE BEEN A BIT BREEZY WITHIN DECENT MIXING...AND HAVE INDICATED SOME GUSTS FOR THE NEXT FEW HOURS BEFORE A DIMINISHING TREND BY SUNSET. MAINTAINED VFR CONDITIONS THROUGH THE PERIOD. CONVECTION HAS BEEN SLOW TO DEVELOP OVER THE FORECAST AREA...AND PREFER TO KEEP JUST CB IN THE FORECAST UNTIL TRENDS BECOME MORE APPARENT. THERE IS SOME DISAGREEMENT BETWEEN MODELS REGARDING CONVECTIVE POTENTIAL OVERNIGHT. CONVECTION DRIVEN MORE BY SHORTWAVE ENERGY OVER THE GULF COULD PRESS INTO THE REGION FROM THE SOUTHWEST THROUGH THE EVENING HOURS...AND WILL THUS CONTINUE CB UNTIL 03Z AT KSAV. OTHERWISE...CONFIDENCE IS TOO LOW TO MENTION CB BEYOND MIDNIGHT AT EITHER KCHS OR KSAV. EXTENDED AVIATION OUTLOOK...MAINLY AFTERNOON/EVE SHOWERS/STORMS SUN...THEN LITTLE TO NO RAIN CHANCES THROUGH MID WEEK BEHIND A COLD FRONT. && .MARINE... SOUTH TO SOUTHWEST WINDS WILL PREVAIL ACROSS THE MARINE ZONES THROUGH TONIGHT...AS THE WATERS FALL BETWEEN ATLANTIC HIGH PRESSURE AND A BUILDING INLAND SURFACE TROUGH. WIND SPEEDS WILL AVERAGE 15 KT OR LESS...WITH SEAS 3 FT OR LESS. SUNDAY THROUGH THURSDAY...WINDS AND SEAS ARE EXPECTED TO REMAIN BELOW SCA CRITERIA THROUGH THURSDAY. SOUTH/SOUTHWEST WINDS BETWEEN 10 TO 15 KNOTS WILL PREVAIL OVER ALL WATERS SUNDAY. WINDS AND SEAS MAY APPROACH SCA CRITERIA LATE SUNDAY INTO MONDAY MORNING AHEAD OF AN APPROACHING COLD FRONT. SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ARE ALSO POSSIBLE AS THE FRONT PUSHES SOUTH THROUGH THE COASTAL WATERS. WINDS ARE EXPECTED TO INCREASE TO AROUND 20 KNOTS AND SEAS WILL LIKELY BUILD TO 4 TO 5 FEET DURING FROPA. HIGHEST WINDS AND SEAS WILL REMAIN BEYOND 20 NM FROM THE SC COAST. GEORGIA WATERS FROM 20-60 NM OFFSHORE MAY ALSO SEE A BRIEF PERIOD OF ENHANCED WINDS AND SEAS EARLY MONDAY MORNING. SOUTHWEST WINDS WILL QUICKLY BECOME NORTH/NORTHEAST AND REMAIN AT OR BELOW 15 KNOTS AS HIGH PRESSURE SETTLES OVER THE WATERS THROUGH WEDNESDAY. WINDS/SEAS MAY INCREASE LATE IN THE WEEK AS HIGH PRESSURE SHIFTS SOUTHEAST AND ONSHORE FLOW RETURNS. && .CHS WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... GA...NONE. SC...NONE. MARINE...NONE. &&
