AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE CHARLESTON SC
218 PM EDT MON JUL 28 2014
.SYNOPSIS...
A STRONG COLD FRONT WILL CROSS THE REGION LATE TODAY INTO TONIGHT
AND BECOME STATIONARY SOUTH/SOUTHEAST OF THE AREA THROUGH THE
MIDDLE OF THE WEEK. THE FRONT WILL THEN SLOWLY MOVE BACK TOWARDS
THE SOUTHEAST COAST AS A COASTAL TROUGH LATE IN THE WEEK AND INTO
EARLY NEXT WEEK...BRINGING THE POSSIBILITY OF SOME UNSETTLED
WEATHER.
&&
.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 PM THIS EVENING/...
LATEST MESOANALYSIS PLACES THE UNSEASONABLY STRONG COLD FRONT
ACROSS THE APPALACHIAN REGION BY EARLY AFTERNOON...WITH A
PREFRONTAL SURFACE TROUGH STRETCHED ACROSS MUCH OF THE SOUTHEAST
STATES. A ROBUST LOW SYSTEM FAR TO THE NORTH WILL STEADILY LIFT
THROUGH THE NEW ENGLAND STATES...EMBEDDED WITHIN A LARGE
AMPLIFYING UPPER TROUGH EXTENDING DOWN THE ENTIRE EAST COAST.
THESE STRONG SYNOPTIC SCALE FEATURES ARE QUITE ANOMALOUS FOR
MID/LATE SUMMER...AND THUS THE APPROACHING COLD FRONT WILL INDEED
HAVE THE ENERGY TO EVENTUALLY PROGRESS INTO AND SOUTH OF THE
FORECAST AREA.
SOLID WEST FLOW DOWNSTREAM OF THE APPROACHING COLD FRONT WILL
MAINTAIN DRY MID LAYER AIR AND SUPPORT A STRONG CAPPING INVERSION
LINGERING INTO THE AFTERNOON HOURS. TEMPERATURES WILL RISE INTO
THE UPPER 90S TO NEAR 100 DEGREES INLAND AND LOW 90S NEAR THE
COAST DUE TO THE WARM WEST FLOW...A PINNED SEABREEZE...AND EVEN
SOME PRE-FRONTAL COMPRESSION EFFECTS. DEWPOINTS WILL REMAIN IN THE
LOW TO MID 70S DURING PEAK HEATING...AND WHEN COMBINED WITH THE
ABOVE NORMAL TEMPERATURES...WILL PRODUCE HEAT INDEX VALUES AT 110
DEGREES FOR MANY LOCATIONS. THUS THE ONGOING HEAT ADVISORY
REMAINS ON TRACK.
THE NEXT MAIN FORECAST CONCERN WILL BE ORGANIZED CONVECTION
DEVELOPING ALONG AND AHEAD OF THE STEADILY APPROACHING COLD
FRONT...INCLUDING THE POTENTIAL FOR SEVERE WEATHER LATE THIS
AFTERNOON INTO THE EVENING HOURS. THE MID LEVEL CAPPING INVERSION
WILL ALLOW THE ATMOSPHERE TO BECOME QUITE UNSTABLE BEFORE
THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY INITIATES. THESE SOUNDINGS ARE OFTEN
DESCRIBED AS HAVING A LOADED GUN SIGNATURE...WITH NOTABLE
INSTABILITY ABOVE THE CAPPING INVERSION...THAT ONCE BROKEN WILL
ALLOW ACCESS TO A HIGHLY UNSTABLE AND CONVECTIVELY CONDUCIVE
ENVIRONMENT. INITIAL CONVECTION MOVING INTO THE INLAND AREAS
WITHIN BRISK WEST FLOW HAS STRUGGLED TO STRENGTHEN...EVIDENCE THAT
THE CAP IS STILL IN PLACE BY 2 PM EDT. ALTHOUGH THERE ARE SOME
TIMING DIFFERENCES IN HIGH RESOLUTION MODEL SOLUTIONS...THE
GENERAL CONSENSUS IS THAT THE BULK OF THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY COULD
BE DELAYED UNTIL LATE AFTERNOON...POSSIBLY AFTER 4 OR 5 PM...WHEN
STRONGER DYNAMICS CAN EFFECTIVELY BREAK THE CAPPING INVERSION.
STORM PREDICTION CENTER HAS MAINTAINED A SLIGHT RISK OVER THE
FORECAST AREA FOR TODAY...TAKING INTO ACCOUNT THE UNSEASONABLY
STRONG FORCING AND DYNAMICS ACCOMPANYING THIS FRONTAL SYSTEM. THE
CORE OF THE LOW LEVEL AND UPPER LEVEL JETS WILL REMAIN NORTH OF
THE AREA...YET CONSIDERING 40 TO 45 KT MID LEVEL WINDS SPREADING
ACROSS AT LEAST THE NORTHERN HALF OF THE FORECAST AREA...DAMAGING
WINDS ARE POSSIBLE WITHIN THE STRONGEST STORMS. LARGE HAIL IS
ALSO A POTENTIAL HAZARD...AS HAIL CAPE VALUES REACH OR EXCEED 1000
J/KG BY 5 PM EDT. THIS COMBINATION OF STRONG INSTABILITY AND WIND
SHEAR WILL LEAD TO A MULTICELLULAR CONVECTIVE MODE WITH THE
POTENTIAL FOR SOME SUPERCELL STRUCTURES. ONCE CONVECTION DEVELOPS
AND SPREADS IN COVERAGE LATE THIS AFTERNOON...THE SEVERE THREAT
WILL CONTINUE AS STORMS PROGRESS EAST/SOUTHEAST WITH THE COLD
FRONT AND EVENTUALLY MOVE OFFSHORE. WILL NEED TO MONITOR FOR THE
POTENTIAL FOR THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY TO BECOME ENHANCED NEAR THE
COASTLINE TOWARD THE EVENING HOURS DUE TO INTERACTION WITH THE
PINNED SEABREEZE.
&&
.SHORT TERM /6 PM THIS EVENING THROUGH THURSDAY/...
TONIGHT...ONGOING THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY SHOULD BE AT ITS PEAK IN
INTENSITY AND COVERAGE THIS EVENING BEFORE MOVING OFFSHORE. RAIN
CHANCES DROP OFF QUICKLY FROM THE NORTHWEST THROUGH THE NIGHT...AND
A DRY FORECAST IS IN PLACE BY LATE TONIGHT. NOTICEABLY COOLER AND
DRIER AIR WILL MOVE INTO THE REGION BEHIND THE FRONT. EXPECT LOWS
IN THE UPPER 60S FAR INLAND...RANGING TO THE MID 70S AT THE COAST.
A BROAD AND HIGHLY ANOMALOUS TROUGH FOR MID SUMMER WILL SET UP OVER
THE EASTERN UNITED STATES...ONE THAT IS MORE THAN 2 STANDARD
DEVIATIONS BELOW NORMAL FOR LATE JULY. THIS SENDS THE COLD FRONT OFF
THE EASTERN SEABOARD AS IT STALLS OUT ROUGHLY FROM BERMUDA TO
EXTREME SOUTH FLORIDA AND THE FLORIDA KEYS DURING THE MIDDLE OF THE
WEEK.
TUESDAY...INITIALLY THERE IS A BREAK FROM OUR HOT AND HUMID
CONDITIONS OF LATE WITH A VERY NOTICEABLE CHANGE IN AIR MASS. THERE
IS CONSIDERABLE DRY AIR ABOVE 8-10K FT WITH PWATS POSSIBLE DROPPING
TO AROUND 1 INCH...OR EVEN MORE THAN 2 STANDARD DEVIATIONS BELOW
NORMAL. SUFFICE TO SAY THERE IS NO RISK FOR SHOWERS AND T-STORMS.
ADDITIONALLY...QUITE A BIT OF COOLER AIR ARRIVES IN WAKE OF THE COLD
FRONT AS 850 MB TEMPS DOWN TO AROUND 14-16C. THIS EQUATES TO TEMPS
SOME 6-10 DEGREES LOWER THAN TODAY AND LOWS TUESDAY NIGHT GETTING
DOWN INTO THE MID AND UPPER 60S MOST LOCALES INLAND FROM US-17.
WEDNESDAY...AS WEAK HIGH PRESSURE MOVES OFF THE MID-ATLANTIC COAST
THERE IS A SUBTLE RISE IN MOISTURE FROM OFF THE OCEAN. THIS MIGHT BE
ENOUGH TO POP A COUPLE OF SHOWERS ON THE SEA BREEZE BOUNDARY...BUT
SINCE THERE IS STILL A FAIRLY SUBSTANTIAL SUBSIDENCE CAP IN PLACE
THIS SUPPORTS POPS NO MORE THAN A SILENT 14 PERCENT. SIMILAR 850 MB
TEMPS AND LOW LEVEL THICKNESS TO THE PREVIOUS DAY...SO LITTLE CHANGE
IN TEMPS.
THURSDAY...THE BAROCLINIC ZONE IN THE SW ATLANTIC WILL BEGIN TO
SHIFT A LITTLE BACK TOWARD THE SE STATES AS IT STARTS ITS TRANSITION
INTO A COASTAL TROUGH. THERE IS A FURTHER INFLUX OF MARITIME
MOISTURE WITHIN AN EAST-SE SYNOPTIC FLOW...BOOSTING PWATS BACK UP TO
WHAT IS MORE TYPICAL. FORCING FROM THIS NEARBY SURFACE FEATURE AND
THE SEA BREEZE WILL BE ENOUGH TO TRIGGER 20-30 POPS...HIGHEST OVER
EASTERN SECTIONS WHERE THE BEST LOW LEVEL CONVERGENCE WILL BE
REALIZED. AN INCREASE IN BOTH CLOUD COVER AND RAIN CHANCES WILL
KNOCK TEMPS DOWN A COUPLE OF DEGREES FROM WEDNESDAY.
&&
.LONG TERM /THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY/...
THE BAROCLINIC ZONE IN THE NEARBY ATLANTIC WILL HAVE ALLOWED FOR A
WELL PRONOUNCED COASTAL TROUGH TO SET UP NEAR OR JUST EAST OF OUR
COASTAL WATERS LATE IN THE WEEK. AT THE SAME TIME THERE ARE
INDICATIONS THAT AN UNUSUALLY MID-SUMMERTIME HIGH PRESSURE WEDGE
COULD ATTEMPT TO SET UP SHOP INLAND. UPSTAIRS THE PROMINENT AND
PERSISTENT LONG WAVE TROUGH IN THE EAST WILL AMPLIFY A BIT
FURTHER...CAUSING SW TRAJECTORIES TO ADVECT MOISTURE IN OFF THE GULF
OF MEXICO. THESE FACTORS WILL RESULT IN AN INCREASED CHANCE OF
SHOWERS/T-STORMS LATE IN THE WEEK INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK...WHICH IN
TURN WILL KEEP MAX TEMPS DOWN SEVERAL DEGREES BELOW NORMAL. AT
PRESENT THERE ARE NO INDICATIONS OF ANY SORT OF LOW DEVELOPING ON
THE COASTAL TROUGH...BUT THERE ARE HINTS THAT THE TROPICAL WAVE
CURRENTLY IN THE EASTERN ATLANTIC MAY HAVE DEVELOPED INTO A TROPICAL
CYCLONE BY LATE IN THE FORECAST PERIOD...AS IT TURNS NORTH OF THE
CARIBBEAN ISLANDS AND STAYS WELL OUT IN THE ATLANTIC WITH THE
EASTERN TROUGH STILL ANCHORED IN PLACE.
&&
.AVIATION /18Z MONDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/...
WILL CONTINUE TO INDICATE VFR CONDITIONS PREVAILING AT BOTH TAF
SITES OUTSIDE OF LATE DAY AND EVENING THUNDERSTORMS. WEST WINDS AT
KCHS AND KSAV HAVE BEEN BREEZY TO GUSTY THIS AFTERNOON AHEAD OF A
COLD FRONT APPROACHING FROM THE APPALACHIAN REGION. EXPECT GUSTS
UP TO 25 KT AT TIMES THROUGH EARLY EVENING. SCATTERED SHRA/TSRA
WILL GRADUALLY INCREASE IN COVERAGE BY LATE AFTERNOON AND POSSIBLY
LINGER IN THE VICINITY THROUGH THE EVENING HOURS. HAVE INDICATED
VCTS AT BOTH TERMINALS FROM ABOUT 20Z THROUGH 04Z...WITH EARLIER
IMPACTS POSSIBLE AT KCHS. HAVE ALSO NARROWED DOWN THE ONGOING
TEMPO GROUP FOR TSRA AND MVFR CONDITIONS TO JUST TWO
HOURS...HOWEVER ADJUSTMENTS WILL LIKELY BE NEEDED AS CONVECTIVE
TRENDS BECOME MORE APPARENT. IT SHOULD BE NOTED THAT ISOLATED
THUNDERSTORMS COULD BECOME SEVERE AND PRODUCE NOTABLY STRONGER
WINDS AND LOWER FLIGHT RESTRICTIONS. CONVECTION WILL EXIT THE
AREA TO THE SOUTH/SOUTHEAST WITH THE DEPARTING COLD FRONT
TONIGHT...WITH VFR WEATHER AND STEADILY VEERING WINDS AFTER 03Z TO
04Z.
EXTENDED AVIATION OUTLOOK...VFR TUESDAY INTO WEDNESDAY. AT LEAST
OCCASIONAL FLIGHT RESTRICTIONS WILL RETURN FOR LATE IN THE WEEK AS
SHRA/TSRA MOVE BACK INTO THE AREA WITH AN INVERTED TROUGH TO DEVELOP
OFF THE SE COAST FRIDAY THROUGH SUNDAY.
&&
.MARINE...
TODAY AND TONIGHT...THE PRESSURE GRADIENT WILL CONTINUE TO TIGHTEN
ACROSS THE LOCAL WATERS AHEAD OF AN APPROACHING COLD FRONT. THE
TIGHTENING GRADIENT WILL SUPPORT ELEVATED SOUTHWEST WINDS IN THE
15-20 KT RANGE THROUGH THE EVENING. MARGINAL SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY
WINDS ARE POSSIBLE ACROSS PORTIONS OF THE WATERS AND THE
CHARLESTON HARBOR THIS AFTERNOON...HOWEVER CONFIDENCE IN TIMING
AND DURATION ARE TOO LOW TO RAISE ANY ADVISORIES AT THIS TIME.
SEAS WILL GENERALLY BE 2 TO 4 FT WITHIN 20 NM AND 3 TO 5 FT
BEYOND. STRONG THUNDERSTORMS ARE EXPECTED TO MOVE OVER THE WATERS
FROM THE LAND TONIGHT ALONG AND JUST AHEAD OF A COLD FRONT. THE
FRONT WILL MOVE THROUGH THE WATERS BY LATE TONIGHT AND WINDS WILL
BEGIN TO TURN MORE NORTHWESTERLY AND DIMINISH IN SPEED.
TUESDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY...MARINE CONDITIONS LOOK TO BE RELATIVELY
QUIET DURING THE MIDDLE OF THE WEEK...WITH WINDS TO EVENTUALLY VEER
AROUND TO AN EASTERLY FLOW. WINDS WILL BE MAINLY UNDER 10 OR 12 KT
AND SEAS NO HIGHER THAN 2 OR 3 FT.
THURSDAY THROUGH SATURDAY...AN INVERTED TROUGH /ALSO KNOWN AS A
COASTAL TROUGH/ WILL HAVE DEVELOPED NEARBY EITHER LATE THURSDAY OR
FRIDAY AND WILL PERSIST CLOSE TO THE COASTAL WATERS INTO THE
WEEKEND. WE/LL PROBABLY STAY ON THE WEST SIDE OF THIS SURFACE
FEATURE...WHICH SUGGESTS THAT WINDS WILL BE SOME EASTERLY COMPONENT
AT LESS THAN 15 KT THROUGH THE FORECAST PERIOD...WHILE SEAS WILL BE
HELD AT OR BELOW 3 FT. SCATTERED SHOWERS AND T-STORMS WILL HAVE
RETURNED FOR LATE IN THE WEEK DUE TO THE PROXIMITY OF THE TROUGH AND
THE ONSHORE FETCH.
