NWS Charleston, SC wrote its last area forecast discussion before the first event at Jun 10, 7:00 PM EST, 1 hour earlier.
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE CHARLESTON SC 800 PM EDT TUE JUN 10 2014 .SYNOPSIS... A TROUGH OF LOW PRESSURE WILL DEVELOP OVER THE SOUTHEAST STATES AND PERSIST THROUGH EARLY NEXT WEEK. && .NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM WEDNESDAY MORNING/... SENT ANOTHER UPDATE TO INCREASE POPS TO 40-50 PERCENT ACROSS PORTIONS OF LONG AND TATTNALL COUNTIES. KCLX REFLECTIVITY AND SATELLITE DATA INDICATE THE SEA BREEZE IS ALIGNED ROUGHLY ALONG THE I-95 CORRIDOR. A RECENT INCREASE IN VERTICAL DEVELOPMENT WITH THE CUMULUS ACROSS SOUTHEAST GEORGIA SUGGESTS THE INFLUENCE OF SUBSIDENCE FROM DNVA IS DIMINISHING WITH TIME AND AN ISOLATED SHOWER OR TSTM COULD STILL POP ALONG THE SEA BREEZE AS IT MOVES INLAND. CONVECTIVE ACTIVITY MOVING NORTH/NORTHWEST ALONG/AHEAD OF THE FLORIDA EAST COAST SEA BREEZE COULD MAKE A RUN FOR THE INTERIOR SOUTHEAST GEORGIA ZONES LATER THIS EVENING...MOST LIKELY AFTER SUNSET. MAINTAINED 20/30 PERCENT POPS ACROSS INTERIOR AREAS THIS EVENING TO ACCOUNT FOR THIS...HIGHEST ACROSS THE SOUTHWEST ZONES...INCLUDING THE COMMUNITIES OF METTER... STATESBORO...REIDSVILLE...CLAXON AND LUDOWICI. INSTABILITY IS STILL STRONG WITH SBCAPE OVER 3000 J/KG AND DCAPE OVER 1500 J/KG...SO AN ISOLATED STRONG TO SEVERE TSTM CAN NOT BE COMPLETELY RULED OUT...ESPECIALLY ACROSS INTERIOR SOUTHEAST GEORGIA LATER THIS EVENING. ANY TSTM THAT FORMS WILL BE CAPABLE OF PRODUCING EXTREME CLOUD TO GROUND LIGHTNING...HAIL AND DAMAGING WINDS...ESPECIALLY WHERE MESOSCALE BOUNDARY INTERACTIONS OCCUR. FOR THE EARLY EVENING UPDATE...MADE MINOR ADJUSTMENTS TO HOURLY TEMPERATURES...POPS AND SKY COVER TO ACCOUNT FOR CURRENT TRENDS. THE REST OF THE FORECAST IS ON TRACK FOR NOW. && .SHORT TERM /6 AM WEDNESDAY MORNING THROUGH FRIDAY/... LOOKS LIKE A RATHER UNSETTLED PERIOD AS AN UPPER TROUGH SLOWLY PUSHES EAST TOWARD THE SOUTHEAST U.S. COAST WHILE WEAKENING. SYNOPTIC LIFT AHEAD OF THIS FEATURE ALONG WITH A SURGE IN DEEPER TROPICAL MOISTURE WILL MAKE FOR HIGHER THAN NORMAL RAIN CHANCES...ESPECIALLY DURING PEAK INSTABILITY EACH AFTERNOON/EVENING. THE CHANCES OF SEVERE WEATHER WILL BE SMALL OVERALL GIVEN THE LACK OF BULK SHEAR /BUT MOST LIKELY ON WED/...BUT ISOLATED SEVERE STORMS WILL BE POSSIBLE MAINLY NEAR MESOSCALE BOUNDARIES SUCH AS THE SEA BREEZE AND CONVECTIVE OUTFLOWS. LOCALLY HEAVY RAINFALL WILL ALSO BE POSSIBLE GIVEN THE HIGH PWATS AND RELATIVELY WEAK STORM MOTIONS. WE ARE ALSO HEADING INTO AN ABOVE-NORMAL TIDE CYCLE FLOODING POTENTIAL IN URBAN AREAS NEAR THE COAST LIKE DOWNTOWN CHARLESTON/SAVANNAH WILL BE HIGHER THAN NORMAL. TEMPS MOSTLY NEAR/SLIGHTLY ABOVE NORMAL BUT HIGHLY DEPENDENT ON RAIN/CLOUD COVERAGE. && .LONG TERM /FRIDAY NIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY/... A DEEP LAYERED RIDGE WILL GRADUALLY BUILD ACROSS THE WESTERN ATLANTIC AND SOUTHEAST UNITED STATES FRIDAY NIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY. THIS WILL BRING A RETURN TO MORE TYPICAL SUMMERTIME WEATHER WITH HIGHS IN THE 90S AND SCATTERED MAINLY AFTERNOON/EVENING CONVECTION. && .AVIATION /00Z WEDNESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/... VFR. RAIN CHANCES WILL INCREASE WEDNESDAY AND SUBSEQUENT TAF ISSUANCES MAY NEED TO INCLUDE SHRA/TSRA AS TIMING AND COVERAGE BECOMES MORE CERTAIN. EXTENDED AVIATION OUTLOOK...MODERATE RISK FOR BRIEF FLIGHT RESTRICTIONS EACH AFTERNOON/EARLY EVE DUE TO SHOWERS/THUNDERSTORMS. && .MARINE... TONIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY...THE LOCAL WATERS WILL REMAIN ON THE WESTERN EDGE OF ATLANTIC HIGH PRESSURE THAT WILL SUPPORT MAINLY SOUTH WINDS 15 KT OR LESS...GENERALLY HIGHEST NEAR THE COAST EACH AFTERNOON WITH THE SEA BREEZE. SEAS MOSTLY 3 FT OR LESS...HIGHEST EAST. && .CHS WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... GA...NONE. SC...NONE. MARINE...NONE. &&
