NWS Charleston, SC wrote its last area forecast discussion before the first event at Aug 28, 3:21 PM EST, 44 minutes earlier.
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE CHARLESTON SC 421 PM EDT TUE AUG 28 2012 .SYNOPSIS... TROPICAL CYCLONE ISAAC WILL REMAIN WELL WEST OF THE REGION THROUGH WEDNESDAY AS IT BEGINS TO MOVE INLAND ALONG THE GULF COAST. DEEP TROPICAL MOISTURE WILL REMAIN IN PLACE ACROSS THE AREA THROUGH THURSDAY BEFORE HIGH PRESSURE BEGINS TO BUILD IN FROM THE NORTH ON FRIDAY AND INTO THE WEEKEND. && .NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM WEDNESDAY MORNING/... DEEP TROPICAL MOISTURE WILL REMAIN OVER THE AREA TONIGHT WITH HIGH PRESSURE OVER THE MIDWEST AND WESTERN ATLANTIC...AND A TROUGH OF LOW PRESSURE ALONG THE NORTHEAST SEABOARD AS WELL AS TROPICAL CYCLONE ISAAC OVER THE NORTH CENTRAL GULF OF MEXICO. WITH THESE FEATURES IN PLACE...VERY MOIST SOUTH/SOUTHEAST FLOW WILL CONTINUE TO PERSIST OVER THE AREA THROUGH TONIGHT...SETTING UP FAVORABLE CONDITIONS FOR WIDESPREAD SHOWERS/ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS ALONG A CONVERGENCE ZONE OVER SOUTHEAST SOUTH CAROLINA AND SOUTHEAST GEORGIA. WITH PWATS REMAINING AROUND 2.5 INCHES...SFC DEWPTS IN THE MID 70S...AND SLOW STORM MOTION EXPECTED...SHOWERS AND/OR THUNDERSTORMS WILL REMAIN CAPABLE OF PRODUCING HEAVY RAIN WITH 1-2 INCH RAINFALL ACCUMULATIONS PER HOUR. THERE WILL BE A POTENTIAL RISK OF ADDITIONAL FLOODING TONIGHT...ESPECIALLY ALONG COASTAL COUNTIES AS WE APPROACH HIGH TIDE. DESPITE RECENT RAINS...OVERNIGHT LOWS WILL BE MILD WITH CLOUD COVER EXPANDING OVER THE FORECAST AREA. EXPECT LOW TO REACH THE LOW/MID 70S...WITH COOLEST TEMPS INLAND. && .SHORT TERM /6 AM WEDNESDAY MORNING THROUGH FRIDAY/... WEDNESDAY AND WEDNESDAY NIGHT...AS TROPICAL CYCLONE ISAAC BEGINS TO MOVE INLAND ALONG THE LOUISIANA COASTLINE THE FORECAST AREA WILL REMAIN WITHIN A VERY DEEP TROPICAL AIRMASS. A WEST/EAST ORIENTED FRONT DRAPED ACROSS AREAS TO THE NORTH WILL SLOWLY SINK SOUTHWARD THROUGH THE DAY...SETTING UP A NICE LOW LEVEL CONVERGENCE ZONE ALONG THE BOUNDARY WITH AN AREA OF HIGH PRESSURE BUILDING IN FROM THE NORTH. THOUGH SOME DRIER AIR MAY TRY TO MOVE IN FROM THE SOUTHWEST...MODELS DO SHOW PWATS REMAINING IN THE 2.25 INCH RANGE THROUGH THE DAY. THE EXPECTATION IS FOR PRECIP TO GET STARTED JUST NORTH OF THE AREA CLOSER TO THE FRONT...AND THEN PUSH SOUTHWARD INTO THE EVENING. POPS START OFF THE DAY WITH A NORTH/SOUTH GRADIENT AND THEN FILL IN TO LIKELY POPS EVERYWHERE BY THE AFTERNOON/EVENING WITH ISOLATED EMBEDDED THUNDERSTORMS. GIVEN THE DEEP TROPICAL MOISTURE...EFFICIENT RAINFALL PRODUCTION IS EXPECTED AGAIN WHICH WILL ALLOW FOR POCKETS OF LOCALLY HEAVY RAINFALL. WITH THE EXCESSIVE RAINS THAT OCCURRED ON TUESDAY...ESPECIALLY IN AND AROUND LOCATIONS FROM WEST ASHLEY TO MOUNT PLEASANT...IT WON/T TAKE MUCH TO CAUSE MORE FLOODING PROBLEMS. WILL CONTINUE THE FLOOD WORDING IN THE HWO. OVERNIGHT...THE CONVERGENCE ZONE ALONG THE FRONT WILL LAY ACROSS THE AREA AND LIKELY POPS CONTINUE AT LEAST THROUGH THE FIRST PART OF THE EVENING. AS THE NIGHT PROGRESSES...MODELS SHOW THE FOCUS FOR PRECIP SHIFTING OFFSHORE. THURSDAY THROUGH FRIDAY...AS ISAAC PUSHES FURTHER INLAND NEAR THE ARKLATEX...AN UPPER ANTICYCLONE NORTH OF IT WILL BEGIN TO SHIFT EASTWARD ACROSS THE OHIO VALLEY AND EVENTUALLY TOWARD EASTERN NC/VA. AS THIS OCCURS...THE SURFACE HIGH WILL SETTLE IN ACROSS THE MID ATLANTIC ON THURSDAY AND EVENTUALLY ACROSS THE AREA ON FRIDAY. THE DEEP TROPICAL MOISTURE WILL HANG ON THROUGH THURSDAY...WITH PWATS DROPPING OFF SIGNIFICANTLY THROUGH THE DAY ON FRIDAY. ANOTHER ROUND OF LIKELY POPS IS IN PLACE THURSDAY...WITH A DRYING TREND THURSDAY NIGHT INTO FRIDAY. MODELS SHOW SOME SMALL DISCREPANCIES AS TO HOW FAR SOUTHWEST THE DRY AIR PUNCHES IN ON FRIDAY...BUT IT IS POSSIBLE THAT FRIDAY COULD END UP BEING TOTALLY DRY. ANOTHER DAY WITH SUPPRESSED TEMPS ON THURSDAY WITH CLOUDS AND RAIN AROUND...AND THEN A WARMER DAY FRIDAY AS SUNSHINE RETURNS FROM NORTHEAST TO SOUTHWEST. && .LONG TERM /FRIDAY NIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY/... FRIDAY NIGHT...KEPT SLIGHT CHANCE POPS WITH TEMPS NEAR NORMAL. BY SATURDAY...THE UPPER RIDGE BEGINS TO WEAKEN AND SHIFT SOUTHEAST OF THE AREA AS A BROAD UPPER TROUGH...WHICH PICKS UP THE REMNANT MOISTURE OF ISAAC...FORM OVER THE OH RIVER VALLEY. WITH THE FALLING UPPER HEIGHTS AND SOME INCREASE IN DEEP LAYER MOISTURE...HAVE KEPT LOW END CHANCE POPS. BY SUNDAY THROUGH TUESDAY...FORECAST CONFIDENCE BEGINS TO DROP OFF. FOR NOW...HAVE GONE WITH A SOLUTION THAT SHOWS A WEAKENING UPPER TROUGH OVER THE REGION...WITH INCREASING DEEP LAYER MOISTURE. HAVE KEPT LOW END CHANCE POPS...WHICH IS CLOSE TO CLIMO. TEMPS AROUND CLIMO THROUGH THE PERIOD. && .AVIATION /20Z TUESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/... DEEP TROPICAL MOISTURE WILL CONTINUE TO BRING PERIODS OF SHOWERS AND ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS THROUGH THIS EVENING AT BOTH TERMINALS. EXPECT PERIODS MVFR CONDITIONS WITH POSSIBLY IFR VSBYS...WITHIN AREAS OF HEAVY SHOWERS. THE BEST CHANCES FOR RAIN STILL LOOK TO BE OVER KCHS...WITH A LITTLE LESS COVERAGE EXPECTED CLOSER TO KSAV. WITH PERSISTENT TROPICAL MOISTURE OVER THE AREA THROUGH TUESDAY AFTERNOON...CAN NOT RULE OUT SEVERAL PERIODS OF MVFR CONDITIONS WITH SHOWER AND/OR THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY. EXTENDED AVIATION OUTLOOK...UNSETTLED CONDITIONS WITH PERIODIC RESTRICTIONS POSSIBLE THROUGH THURSDAY. IMPROVING CONDITIONS EXPECTED FROM FRIDAY ONWARD. && .MARINE... THE PRESSURE GRADIENT BETWEEN ATLANTIC HIGH PRESSURE AND TROPICAL CYCLONE ISAAC OVER THE NORTHERN GULF OF MEXICO WILL CONTINUE TO RELAX OVER THE COASTAL WATERS TONIGHT. EXPECT WINDS TO PEAK AROUND 15 KNOTS...WITH HIGHEST WINDS EXPECTED OVER GEORGIA WATERS. WINDS/SEAS WILL CONTINUE TO IMPROVE OVERNIGHT AS ATLANTIC HIGH PRESSURE BUILD OVER THE WATERS. SEAS WILL BE DOMINATED BY AN EAST TO SOUTHEAST SWELL WHICH WILL CONTRIBUTE TO SEAS PEAKING BETWEEN 4-5 FEET BEYOND 20 NM. WEDNESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY...A SOUTH TO SOUTHWEST FLOW REGIME WILL PERSIST THROUGH WEDNESDAY AHEAD OF A SOUTHWARD MOVING FRONT AND HIGH PRESSURE TO THE NORTH. WINDS WILL TURN MORE NORTHEAST AND EASTERLY BY FRIDAY AS THE CENTER OF THE HIGH SETTLES IN ACROSS NORTH CAROLINA AND VIRGINIA. AS THE HIGH DISSIPATES OVER THE WEEKEND A MORE TYPICAL SOUTH TO SOUTHWEST FLOW WILL RETURN. OVERALL...WINDS WILL BE 15 KNOTS OR LESS THROUGH THE WEEKEND. SEAS WILL BE ON A DOWNWARD TREND WITH 2-4 FEET WITHIN 20 NM AND 3-5 FEET BEYOND ON WEDNESDAY. THEREAFTER...SEAS WILL BE 2-3 FEET THROUGH THE WEEKEND. RIP CURRENTS...DUE TO THE AFFECTS OF THE APPROACHING FULL MOON...LINGERING SWELL ENERGY...AND ONSHORE FLOW...A MODERATE RISK OF RIP CURRENTS WILL CONTINUE AT ALL BEACHES THROUGH WEDNESDAY. && .TIDES/COASTAL FLOODING... MODELS CONTINUE TO INDICATE POSITIVE TIDAL ANOMALIES OF ABOUT ONE HALF FOOT THROUGH MID-LATE WEEK AND THIS COULD LEAD TO SHALLOW SALTWATER FLOODING DURING THE TIME OF THE EARLY EVENING HIGH TIDES. THE SITUATION COULD BECOME WORSE IF HEAVY RAINFALL OCCURS DURING THE HIGH TIDE...ESPECIALLY IN THE NORMALLY FLOOD-PRONE AREAS SUCH AS DOWNTOWN CHARLESTON AND SAVANNAH. && .CHS WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
