Area forecast discussion, Jun 11, 7:17 PM EST, 39 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE CHARLESTON SC 817 PM EDT TUE JUN 11 2013 .SYNOPSIS... HIGH PRESSURE WILL BUILD OVER THE REGION THROUGH MID WEEK BEFORE A COLD FRONT PASSES THROUGH THE AREA LATE THURSDAY INTO EARLY FRIDAY. HIGH PRESSURE FROM THE GREAT LAKES REGION WILL THEN BUILD OVER THE WEEKEND AND PERSIST INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK. && .NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM WEDNESDAY MORNING/... TONIGHT...ANY LINGERING SHOWER/THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY WILL DIMINISH QUICKLY AFTER SUNSET AND THE LOSS OF SURFACE HEATING. ALOFT...THE EAST COAST MID/UPPER LEVEL TROUGH WILL PUSH OFFSHORE AS HEIGHTS RISE AND THE UPPER RIDGE NOSES IN FROM THE WEST. THE SURFACE TROUGH WILL LINGER IN THE VICINITY AND LIGHT WINDS WILL KEEP THINGS MIXED A BIT FOR THE EARLY PORTION OF THE OVERNIGHT. EXPECT A MILD NIGHT WITH LOWS ONLY FALLING INTO THE LOW/MID 70S. && .SHORT TERM /6 AM WEDNESDAY MORNING THROUGH FRIDAY/... WEDNESDAY....CONDITIONS WILL BE MUCH WARMER AND DRYER THAN PREVIOUS DAYS AS DEEP LAYERED HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS IN FROM THE GREAT LAKES. A SLIGHTLY DRIER DOWNSLOPING WIND WILL LIKELY CONTRIBUTE TO SOME OF THE WARMEST TEMPS SO FAR THIS YEAR...WITH 1000-850MB THICKNESSES SUPPORTING OVERALL HIGH TEMPS IN THE LOW TO MID 90S WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON...BUT BELOW ANY RECORDS. STILL IT/LL BE THE WARMEST SO FAR FOR MANY LOCALES. HEAT INDICES WILL APPROACH NEAR 105 WITH RH VALUES IN THE 50S. THE 12Z NAM AND GFS HAVE INCREASED POPS ALONG THE COAST IN THE AFTERNOON DUE TO SOME BOUNDARY COLLISIONS BETWEEN THE SEA BREEZE AND A POSSIBLE MCS THAT WILL MOVE DOWN NORTHERN AND CENTRAL GA. INGREDIENTS FOR THUNDERSTORM DEVELOPMENT WILL BE MODEST WITH LOW SHEAR...LACK OF UPPER LEVEL DYNAMICS...DECREASED MOISTURE...AND ANY DISCERNIBLE BOUNDARIES. TEMPS WILL REMAIN MILD WEDNESDAY NIGHT...IN THE MID/UPPER 70S. THURSDAY...SOUTHWEST SFC FLOW WILL LIKELY INCREASE MOISTURE OVER THE AREA AHEAD OF A SFC LOW TRACKING FROM THE GREAT LAKES REGION. THIS WILL LIKELY CONTRIBUTE TO A VERY UNSTABLE ATMOSPHERE OVER THE SOUTHEAST AS DEW POINTS REACH THE LOW/MID 70S WHILE STRONG SFC AND COMPRESSIONAL HEATING LEAD TO SFC TEMPS WARMING INTO THE MID/UPPER 90S OVER MOST LOCATIONS AWAY FROM THE COAST. THERE IS A CHANCE WE COULD SEE MID OR UPPER 90S AT THE TERMINALS AND APPROACHING THE RECORDS AT BOTH CHS AND SAV AIRPORTS SHOULD CONVECTION OR CLOUD COVER HOLD OFF UNTIL EVENING HOURS OVER THE FORECAST AREA. HEAT INDICES WILL BE A LITTLE HIGHER THAN WEDNESDAY...NEAR 107. THERE IS SOME CONCERN THAT SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS COULD BE STRONG THURSDAY EVENING WITH THE APPROACH OF A SFC COLD FRONT AND H5 SHORTWAVE. MODELS ARE CONSISTENT WITH THE COLD FRONT APPROACHING THE CWA LATE THURSDAY NIGHT...WITH FROPA AFTER 00Z. SHOULD CONVECTION TRIGGER BEFORE NIGHTFALL...SBCAPES BETWEEN 2000-3000 J/KG WITH THE HIGHER VALUES IN SE GA...LIFTED INDEX VALUES NEAR -6C...MID LVL LAPSE RATES NEAR -6C...AND 25-30 KT LOW LVL FLOW SUGGESTS STRONG/SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS CAPABLE OF PRODUCING LARGE HAIL AND DAMAGING WINDS. AFTER 00Z...THE CHANCES OF ORGANIZED SEVERE WEATHER DIMINISH. FRIDAY...SHOWERS AND/OR THUNDERSTORMS MAY BE ONGOING EARLY AS A COLD FRONT SHIFTS OFFSHORE. CONDITIONS WILL THEN IMPROVE THROUGH THE REMAINDER OF THE DAY AS DRY HIGH PRESSURE REBUILDS OVER THE SOUTHEAST...BUT PARTLY CLOUDY SKIES LOOK TO REMAIN WITH SOME RESIDUAL MID LEVEL MOISTURE. OVERALL...HIGH TEMPS WILL BE COOLER THAN PREVIOUS DAYS...WITH GUIDANCE AND 1000-850 MB THICKNESSES SHOWING TEMPS IN THE MID/UPPER 80S OVER MOST LOCATIONS. && .LONG TERM /FRIDAY NIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY/... CONDITIONS LOOK TO REMAIN QUIET OVER THE WEEKEND AS HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS OVER THE REGION BEHIND A COLD FRONT SHIFTING WELL OFFSHORE. LITTLE TO NO CHANCE OF SHOWER/THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY IS ANTICIPATED OUTSIDE AN INLAND MOVING SEABREEZE. HIGH TEMPS WILL BE A FEW DEGREES COOLER SATURDAY...BEFORE GRADUALLY WARMING INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK AS DEEP LAYERED HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS OVER THE SOUTHEAST. OVERALL HIGH TEMPS SHOULD BE IN THE MID/UPPER 80S SATURDAY...BEFORE WARMING INTO THE UPPER 80S/LOWER 90S SUNDAY INTO TUESDAY. OVERNIGHT LOWS SHOULD RANGE FROM THE MID 60S TO LOW 70S. THE NEXT BEST CHANCE OF RAINFALL SHOULD OCCUR WITH ANOTHER FRONT APPROACHING FROM THE NORTHWEST LATE MONDAY INTO TUESDAY. && .AVIATION /00Z WEDNESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/... STILL SOME ISOLATED CONVECTION UPSTREAM FROM KCHS THAT WILL IMPACT THE TERMINAL THIS EVENING...OTHERWISE BOTH SITES LOOK TO BE PRIMARILY VFR THROUGH 00Z THURSDAY. THE RISK OF ANY ISOLATED CONVECTION AT THE AIRFIELDS ON THE SEA BREEZE LATE WEDNESDAY IS TOO LIMITED TO INCLUDE WITH THE LATEST SET OF TAFS. EXTENDED AVIATION...MVFR CIGS/VSBYS OR LOWER ARE POSSIBLE THURSDAY NIGHT INTO EARLY FRIDAY WITH SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ALONG A PASSING COLD FRONT. VFR CONDITIONS ARE THEN EXPECTED OVER THE WEEKEND. && .MARINE... TONIGHT...EXPECT ANOTHER QUIET NIGHT. THE PRESENCE OF THE INLAND TROUGH WILL KEEP FLOW OUT OF THE SOUTHWEST THROUGH THE PERIOD. WINDS MAY BE IN THE 15-20 KT RANGE EARLY...BUT WILL DIMINISH TO 15 KTS OR LESS LATE. SEAS WILL BE MAINLY 2-4 FT WITHIN 20 NM AND 4-5 FT BEYOND. WEDNESDAY THROUGH SATURDAY...CONDITIONS WILL REMAIN WELL BELOW SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY THRESHOLDS WEDNESDAY INTO EARLY THURSDAY WITH HIGH PRESSURE DOMINATING THE WATERS. SOUTHWEST WINDS MAY THEN APPROACH SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY THRESHOLDS OVER NORTHERN SC WATERS AND OUTER GEORGIA WATERS THURSDAY NIGHT INTO EARLY FRIDAY AS THE PRESSURE GRADIENT TIGHTENS ALONG/AHEAD OF A COLD FRONT ADVANCING OVER THE COASTAL WATERS LATE. SEAS SHOULD REMAIN BETWEEN 2-5 FT...HIGHEST OVER OUTER GEORGIA WATERS DURING FROPA. WINDS/SEAS WILL THEN IMPROVE AND REMAIN WELL BELOW SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY THRESHOLDS INTO THE WEEKEND AS HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS OVER THE WATERS BEHIND THE COLD FRONT PUSHING OVER THE WESTERN ATLANTIC. && .CHS WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
