Flood in South Carolina, July 9, 2011

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE WILMINGTON NC
339 PM EDT SAT JUL 9 2011

.SYNOPSIS...
TROPICAL MOISTURE OVER THE EASTERN CAROLINAS WILL LEAD TO SCATTERED
TO NUMEROUS SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS INTO THIS EVENING. A WEAK
FRONT WILL MOVE THROUGH FROM THE NORTH THROUGH TONIGHT...
DISSIPATING BY MONDAY. BERMUDA HIGH PRESSURE WILL BUILD BACK ACROSS
THE AREA EARLY NEXT WEEK AS A PIEDMONT TROUGH DEVELOPS. A DRY AND
COOLER AIRMASS WILL TRY TO BUILD SOUTHWARD AND INTO THE AREA LATE
NEXT WEEK WITH THE PASSAGE OF A COLD FRONT. THERE WILL BE AT LEAST A
CHANCE OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS DURING THE EARLY AND MIDDLE
PORTION OF NEXT WEEK.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...
AS OF 2 PM SATURDAY...WEAK COLD FRONT HAS MOVED INTO THE
AREA...EXTENDING FROM NORTHERN PENDER COUNTY WEST THROUGH NORTHERN
MARLBORO COUNTY. THE FRONT WILL SLOWLY SAG SOUTH DURING THE
AFTERNOON...WITH SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS POPPING UP AHEAD OF IT.
CURRENTLY THE BEST ACTIVITY IS OVER THE SC COUNTIES...WHERE HEATING
WAS MAXIMIZED. DIURNAL INSTABILITY IS BEING AIDED BY LOW LEVEL
CONVERGENCE JUST AHEAD OF COLD FRONT SAGGING IN FROM THE NORTH.
ALTHOUGH WIDESPREAD SEVERE IS NOT EXPECTED...STEEP LOW LEVEL LAPSE
RATES DO POINT TO STRONGEST STORMS HAVING THE CAPABILITY TO PRODUCE
DAMAGING WINDS. OUTFLOW FROM THE STORMS...WHICH ARE SLOWLY MOVING
SOUTH-SOUTHEAST...MAY ENHANCE ONGOING WEAKER CONVECTION ALONG THE
FRONT...OR CAUSE ADDITIONAL STORMS TO DEVELOP. DO THINK CONVECTION
ACROSS EASTERN AREA WILL INCREASE IN INTENSITY...BUT IT WILL TAKE
LONGER AS THESE AREA HAVE NOT WARMED UP AS MUCH AS PORTIONS OF
INLAND SC. DEVELOPING SEA BREEZE COULD ALSO BECOME A FOCUS FOR
CONVECTION OVER THE NEXT FEW HOURS.

COLD FRONT WILL CONTINUE MOVING SOUTH OVERNIGHT...THOUGH LOSS OF
HEATING WILL LIKELY LEAD TO WANING PRECIP. LIFT ALONG THE WEAK
FRONT DOES NOT APPEAR STRONG ENOUGH TO KEEP CONVECTION GOING ONCE
THE SUN GOES DOWN. BOUNDARY LAYER MOISTURE AND LINGERING CLOUDS
WILL KEEP LOWS ABOVE CLIMO...DESPITE COLD FRONT MOVING ACROSS MUCH
OF THE AREA BY THE END OF THE PERIOD.

&&

.SHORT TERM /SUNDAY THROUGH MONDAY NIGHT/...
AS OF 3 PM SATURDAY...DRIER AIR ALOFT WILL BE IN PLACE AT THE START
OF THE PERIOD...ESPECIALLY ACROSS THE NORTHERN PORTIONS OF THE AREA.
HOWEVER...AS YOU MOVE SOUTHWARD TOWARD THE SOUTH SANTEE RIVER...IT
WILL BE MORE DIFFICULT TO DISLODGE MOISTURE IN THE LOWER TO MID
LEVELS SUN. SURFACE FRONTAL BOUNDARY WILL BECOME DIFFUSE AND
ILL-DEFINED. THE SEABREEZE FRONT WILL SHARPEN AND SHOULD MOVE WELL
INLAND SUN AFTERNOON AND EVE GIVEN THE EASTERLY FLOW IN THE LOWEST
5K FT. NO UPPER LEVEL SUPPORT EVIDENT...THUS ONLY A SMALL CHANCE FOR
SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS THE SOUTHERN TWO-THIRDS OF THE
FORECAST AREA SEEMS WARRANTED AT THIS TIME. HIGH PRESSURE ALOFT WILL
BE BUILDING ACROSS THE AREA THROUGH THE PERIOD AND THIS WILL NOT
ONLY AID IN SUPPRESSING CONVECTION...BUT WILL SERVE TO INCREASE THE
HEAT ACROSS THE AREA. TEMPS WILL BE IN THE LOWER TO MID 90S WITH A
FEW UPPER 90S POSSIBLE WELL INLAND MON. HEAT INDICES WILL APPROACH
ADVISORY CRITERIA IN A FEW SPOTS BOTH SUN AND MON AFTERNOON.

&&

.LONG TERM /TUESDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/...
AS OF 3 AM SATURDAY...TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY BRING A SYNOPTIC PATTERN
MORE TYPICAL OF JULY WITH A LARGE UPPER RIDGE IN PLACE. THE NORMAL
BERMUDA HIGH WILL BE DISPLACED TO THE EAST HOWEVER AND THIS WILL
PREVENT MUCH MOISTURE RECOVERY FROM THE SUNDAY DRYING. TEMPERATURES
WILL BE ABOVE NORMAL BUT RAIN CHANCES DON'T LOOK TOO GOOD. THE RIDGE
ALOFT WILL ALREADY BE RETREATING WESTWARD BY WEDNESDAY. A COLD FRONT
MAY SLOWLY TRAVERSE THE CAROLINAS NORTH TO SOUTH THURSDAY AND
FRIDAY. THIS WILL CURB THE HEAT AND SLIGHTLY INCREASE RAIN CHANCES.
AGAIN THOUGH WITH THE ABSENCE OF MUCH MOISTURE FLUX AHEAD OF THE
BOUNDARY EVEN THIS INCREASE IN POPS MAY ONLY WARRANT SLIGHT CHANCE.

&&

.AVIATION /18Z SATURDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/...
AS OF 18Z...CONVECTION TAKING ITS SWEET TIME TO FORM...PROBABLY
DELAYED DUE TO THE MVFR CEILINGS THIS MORNING. LOW LFC'S SHOULD HELP
TO FIRE CONVECTION ANY TIME NOW...MAINLY ALONG THE FRONT WHICH IS
OVER THE NORTHERN PORTION OF THE CWA. THE CONVECTION WILL DRIFT TO
THE SOUTH ALONG WITH THE FRONT. BY 22Z...EXPECT THE CONVECTION TO BE
CONFINED TO THE SOUTHERN THIRD OF THE REGION. BRIEF HEAVY RAIN COULD
BRING VISIBILITIES AS LOW AS A MILE...HOWEVER THIS WILL ONLY LAST A
FEW MINUTES AND WILL BE ISOLATED.

OVERNIGHT...CONVECTION WILL COME TO AN END...OR AT LEAST BE JUST
SOUTH OF THE CWA. DID NOT PUT MUCH FOG/STRATUS AT THIS TIME...BUT
MAY HAVE TO ADD SOME...DEPENDING ON WHO GETS HEAVY RAIN. THERE WILL
ALSO BE A VERY LIGHT NORTH NORTHEAST FLOW AFTER FRONTAL PASSAGE.
THIS COULD ADD TO THE CHANCE FOR FOG/STRATUS.

SUNDAY...ANY FOG OR STRATUS WILL MIX OUT BY MID MORNING...WITH
NORTHEAST FLOW BEHIND THE FRONT. ISOLATED CONVECTION IS POSSIBLE BY
AFTERNOON OVER THE EXTREME SOUTHWESTERN PORTION OF THE CWA.

EXTENDED OUTLOOK...VFR MONDAY AND TUESDAY WITH LOW CONFIDENCE FOR
BRIEF MORNING FOG. SCATTERED SHOWERS POSSIBLE TUESDAY NIGHT AND
WEDNESDAY WITH ANOTHER WEAK FRONT.

&&

.MARINE...
NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...
AS OF 2 PM SATURDAY...SOUTHWEST WINDS CONTINUE A SLOW WEAKENING
TREND AS SURFACE GRADIENT CONTINUES TO RELAX. APPROACH AND PASSAGE
OF WEAKEN COLD FRONT FROM THE NORTH WILL EVENTUALLY CAUSE WINDS TO
SHIFT FROM SOUTHWEST TO NORTH-NORTHEAST THIS EVENING AND
OVERNIGHT. CURRENTLY WINDS ARE BETWEEN 10 AND 15 KT BUT WILL DROP
UNDER 10 KT AND BECOME HIGHLY VARIABLE IN THE VICINITY OF THE
FRONT. LACK OF SIGNIFICANT GRADIENT POST FRONT WILL KEEP NORTHERLY
FLOW 10 KT OR LESS. SEAS 3 TO 5 FT THIS AFTERNOON...MAINLY A 3 TO
5 FT SOUTHERLY 8 SEC SWELL...WILL DROPPING TO 2 TO 4 FT BY THE END
OF THE PERIOD.

SHORT TERM /SUNDAY THROUGH MONDAY NIGHT/...
AS OF 3 PM SATURDAY...FRONT SHOULD BE SOUTH OF THE AREA AT START OF
PERIOD AND THEN BECOME DIFFUSE AND ILL-DEFINED INTO MON. SEABREEZE
SHOULD MAKE GOOD INLAND PROGRESS BOTH DAYS. PIEDMONT TROUGH SHOULD
DEVELOP EACH AFTERNOON...HELPING TO INCREASE THE PRESSURE GRADIENT
ACROSS THE WATERS. WINDS AT THE START OF THE PERIOD SHOULD BE LIGHT
AND EASTERLY...TRENDING TOWARD SE SUN AFTERNOON AND INCREASING AS
SEABREEZE MOVES INLAND. ONCE SEABREEZE DISSIPATES DURING THE
EVE...WINDS WILL BECOME LIGHT AND RATHER VARIABLE AFTER DARK SUN
NIGHT. SSE WINDS WILL INCREASE AS SEABREEZE SHARPENS MON AFTERNOON
AND EVE WITH WINDS VEERING TO SW MON NIGHT AS LOW-LEVEL NOCTURNAL
JET DEVELOPS. WINDS AND SEAS WILL REMAIN WELL BELOW SMALL CRAFT
SHOULD EXERCISE CAUTION CRITERIA THROUGH THE PERIOD. AN 8 TO 9
SECOND SE SWELL WILL REMAIN THROUGH THE PERIOD.

LONG TERM /TUESDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
AS OF 3 AM SATURDAY...HIGH PRESSURE NORMALLY IN THE WEST ATLANTIC ON
TUESDAY WILL BE FURTHER EAST INTO THE CENTRAL ATLANTIC. LOCALLY THIS
WILL WILL YIELD A TYPICAL SOUTHWESTERLY WIND DIRECTION. THE
DISPLACEMENT OF THE HIGH WILL LEAD TO A LESSER GRADIENT AND LOWER
WIND SPEED THAN NORMAL BUT THIS WILL BE LARGELY COMPENSATED FOR BY A
WELL DEVELOPED PIEDMONT TROUGH. A COLD FRONT MANAGES TO ENTER THE
WATERS LATER WEDNESDAY VEERING THE WINDS AROUND TO A MORE ONSHORE
DIRECTION.
