NWS Charleston, SC wrote its last area forecast discussion before the first event at Jun 7, 4:25 PM EST, 2 hours earlier.
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE CHARLESTON SC 525 PM EDT SAT JUN 7 2014 .SYNOPSIS... A FRONT WILL CONTINUE TO DRIFT THROUGH THE REGION TONIGHT. THE FRONT WILL GRADUALLY DISSIPATE BY SUNDAY WHILE ANOTHER COLD FRONT APPROACHES FROM THE WEST. THIS FRONT WILL STALL AND WEAKEN WEST OF THE AREA THROUGH MID WEEK. && .NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM SUNDAY MORNING/... GRIDDED AND TEXT FORECASTS HAVE BEEN UPDATED TO REFLECT NEAR-TERM MESOSCALE TRENDS. KCLX SHOWS TWO WELL PRONOUNCED MESOSCALE BOUNDARIES. ONE...THE REMNANT SEA BREEZE CIRCULATION...EXTENDS FROM EASTERN ALLENDALE SOUTH TO JUST WEST OF THE SAVANNAH AIRPORT THEN BENDS SOUTH ALONG I-95. THIS SECOND IS AN OUTFLOW BOUNDARY MOVING ACROSS EASTERN HAMPTON COUNTY THAT ORIGINATED FROM CONVECTION ONGOING OVER NORTHERN COLLETON COUNTY. THE AIRMASS AHEAD OF THESE FEATURES REMAINS ADEQUATELY MOIST AND UNSTABLE PER 07/21Z INSTABILITY PLOTS...SO EXPECT ADDITIONAL CONVECTION TO FIRE OVER THE NEXT FEW HOURS ACROSS SOUTHEAST GEORGIA. THE SHORT TERM ACTIVITY IS EXPECTED TO CONCENTRATE OVER ALLENDALE...HAMPTON... SCREVEN AND POSSIBLY EFFINGHAM COUNTIES WHERE THE AFOREMENTIONED BOUNDARIES ARE PROGGED TO INTERSECT AND COULD POSE A FLOOD THREAT. FURTHER CONVECTIVE OUTFLOWS SHOULD SPARK ADDITIONAL CONVECTION TO THE SOUTHWEST AS EVENING APPROACHES...BUT COVERAGE SHOULD NOT BE AS GREAT AS INSOLATION BEGINS TO WANE WITH SUNSET. && .SHORT TERM /6 AM SUNDAY MORNING THROUGH TUESDAY/... EXPECT A PRETTY TYPICAL WEATHER REGIME FOR THIS TIME OF YEAR DURING THIS PERIOD WITH HIGHS NEAR 90/LOWS NEAR 70 AND MAINLY AFTERNOON/EVENING SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS. A COLD FRONT APPROACHING FROM THE WEST SUNDAY WILL STALL OUT AS THE UPPER FLOW BACKS AHEAD OF AN UPPER TROUGH/LOW OVER THE CENTRAL CONUS. THE FRONT WILL WEAKEN INTO A TROUGH OF LOW PRESSURE AND REMAIN INLAND THROUGH TUESDAY WHILE HEIGHTS ALOFT BUILD A BIT. MUCH OF THE CONVECTIVE TRENDS WILL DEPEND ON THE TIMING OF SHORTWAVES ALOFT MOVING THROUGH AROUND THE NORTHERN SIDE OF THE MID-LEVEL TROUGH OVER THE GULF OF MEXICO BUT GENERALLY THE HIGHER CHANCES /CAPPED AT 40 PERCENT FOR NOW/ WILL BE INLAND DURING THE AFTERNOON/EVENING. THE SEVERE THREAT OVERALL IS LOW GIVEN THE EXPECTATION THAT MOST STORMS WILL BE OF THE PULSE VARIETY. HOWEVER...LOCALLY ENHANCED RISKS ARE POSSIBLE DEPENDING ON MESOSCALE BOUNDARIES SUCH AS THE SEA BREEZE AND CONVECTIVE OUTFLOWS. THE BEST COMBO OF INSTABILITY AND SHEAR LOOKS TO BE ON SUN SO THIS IS WHEN WE WOULD EXPECT A SLIGHTLY BETTER RISK THAN MON/TUE. LOCALLY HEAVY RAINFALL/FLOODING WILL BE POSSIBLE EACH DAY GIVEN THE HIGH PWAT VALUES AND WEAK STORM MOTIONS. && .LONG TERM /TUESDAY NIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY/... A GENERAL SUMMERTIME PATTERN IS EXPECTED THROUGH MIDWEEK AS ONSHORE FLOW PERSISTS AHEAD OF A TROUGH OF LOW PRESSURE SLOWLY SHIFTING OVER THE MIDWEST AND OHIO VALLEY. SUFFICIENT LOW LVL MOISTURE WILL BE IN PLACE FOR AT LEAST A SLIGHT CHANCE TO CHANCE OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS OVER THE SOUTHEAST WHILE TEMPS PEAK IN THE UPPER 80S TO AROUND 90 WEDNESDAY AND THURSDAY AFTERNOON. MUCH UNCERTAINTY REMAINS AS WE HEAD INTO THE WEEKEND...BUT THE GENERAL CONSENSUS IS THAT ENERGY ASSOCIATED WITH THE LOW TO OUR NORTHWEST WILL EVENTUALLY SHIFT OVER THE MID ATLANTIC AND SOUTHEAST STATES DURING THE WEEKEND...THUS PROVIDING ADDITIONAL SHOWER AND THUNDERSTORM CHANCES THROUGH LATE WEEK. OVERALL HIGH TEMPS SHOULD REMAIN IN THE UPPER 80S TO AROUND 90 THROUGH THE WEEKEND...WITH OVERNIGHT LOWS NEAR 70 AWAY FROM THE COAST. && .AVIATION /21Z SATURDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/... THE BIGGEST NEAR TERM CONCERN FOR THE TERMINALS IS THE POTENTIAL FOR DIRECT IMPACTS FROM THUNDERSTORMS. KCHS ALREADY HAS THUNDERSTORMS IN THE VICINITY AND THE TAF HAS BEEN INITIALIZED WITH VCTS. I HAVE ALSO ADDED A TEMPO FOR MVFR TS CONDITIONS BETWEEN 18Z-20Z. THEREAFTER...THE THINKING IS THAT THE ACTIVITY WILL SHIFT SOUTHWESTWARD TOWARDS KSAV. AS SUCH...I HAVE A SIMILAR TEMPO AT KSAV BETWEEN 20Z-23Z. OVERNIGHT...ACTIVITY SHOULD DIMINISH AND BOTH SITES ARE VFR THROUGH INTO EARLY SUNDAY AFTERNOON. EXTENDED AVIATION OUTLOOK...MODERATE RISK FOR BRIEF FLIGHT RESTRICTIONS EACH AFTERNOON/EARLY EVE DUE TO SHOWERS/THUNDERSTORMS. OTHERWISE...VFR CONDITIONS WILL PREVAIL. && .MARINE... TONIGHT...THE WEAK FRONT THAT IS CURRENTLY LAYING ACROSS THE LOCAL WATERS FROM WEST TO EAST WILL DISSIPATE AND A MUCH MORE UNIFORM FLOW REGIME WILL SETTLE IN. EASTERLY FLOW MAY BACK A BIT MORE EAST-NORTHEASTERLY AND WINDS WILL BE 10 KT THROUGH MOST OF THE NIGHT. SEAS WILL GENERALLY BE 2 FT WITHIN 20 NM AND 2-3 FT BEYOND. SUNDAY THROUGH THURSDAY...ATLANTIC HIGH PRESSURE WILL REMAIN CENTERED TO THE EAST OF THE WATERS WHILE A TROUGH OF LOW PRESSURE PERSISTS INLAND. THIS PATTERN WILL MEAN MOSTLY SOUTHERLY WINDS 15 KT OR LESS...MAINLY HIGHEST NEAR THE COAST EACH AFTERNOON WITH THE SEA BREEZE. SEAS GENERALLY 3 FT OR LESS. && .CHS WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... GA...NONE. SC...NONE. MARINE...NONE. && ST
