AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE COLUMBIA SC 409 PM EDT WED SEP 3 2014 .SYNOPSIS... HIGH PRESSURE CENTERED OFF THE SOUTHEAST COAST WILL CIRCULATE MOIST AIR INTO THE FORECAST AREA THROUGH THURSDAY. A PERSISTENT UPPER RIDGE WILL HELP MAINTAIN THE HOT TEMPERATURES. && .NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM THURSDAY MORNING/... RIDGE ALOFT AND A MOIST SOUTHEASTERLY LOW LEVEL FLOW WILL CONTINUE OVER THE ARE THROUGH TONIGHT. WEATHER CONDITIONS WILL BE SIMILAR TO THOSE OVER THE PAST SEVERAL DAYS. EXPECT THUNDERSTORMS INTO THIS EVENING. BEST CHANCE IS TO THE NORTH AND WEST OF INTERSTATE 20 AS INDICATED BY HIGH RESOLUTION MODELS. STORMS MOVING SLOWLY TO THE EAST...SO HEAVY RAINFALL AS WELL AS STRONG GUSTY WINDS AND FREQUENT LIGHTNING EXPECTED. ISOLATED SEVERE STORMS POSSIBLE UNTIL EARLY EVENING. HAVE INCREASED POPS ACROSS THE NORTHERN HALF OF SOUTH CAROLINA AND THE CSRA GIVEN CURRENT RADAR IMAGE AND STORM MOTION. THUNDERSTORM COVERAGE SHOULD BEGIN DECREASING DURING THE EVENING. HIGH LOW-LEVEL MOISTURE AND COOLING WITH LIGHT WIND SHOULD RESULT IN AREAS OF FOG DURING THE EARLY MORNING HOURS. RECENT VERIFICATION FAVORS THE WARMER TEMPERATURE GUIDANCE. OVERNIGHT LOWS WILL BE IN THE LOWER 70S. && .SHORT TERM /6 AM THURSDAY MORNING THROUGH FRIDAY NIGHT/... HIGH PRESSURE AT THE SURFACE WILL REMAIN OFF THE SOUTHEAST COAST THROUGH THE PERIOD. THIS WILL KEEP A MOIST ONSHORE FLOW MOVING INTO THE REGION. STRONG HEATING DURING THE AFTERNOON WILL COMBINE WITH DEEP MOISTURE AND SOME CONVERGENCE ASSOCIATED WITH A LEE-SIDE TROUGH AND SEA-BREEZE FRONT TO HELP SUPPORT THUNDERSTORMS THURSDAY. THE LIMITING FACTOR BOTH DAYS WILL BE THE STRENGTH OF THE UPPER RIDGE ACROSS THE REGION...WHICH SHOULD HELP LIMIT THUNDERSTORM COVERAGE. WENT WITH GENERAL MODEL CONSENSUS OF POPS BETWEEN 20 AND 30 PERCENT. TEMPERATURES REMAIN WARM...AND WENT SLIGHTLY WARMER THAN CONSENSUS. && .LONG TERM /SATURDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/... THE LONGER RANGE MODELS CONTINUE TO DISPLAY A COLD FRONT MOVING TOWARDS AND INTO THE REGION SATURDAY AFTERNOON/EVENING...WITH THE FRONT THEN STALLING JUST TO THE SOUTH OF THE FORECAST AREA EARLY NEXT WEEK. DUE TO THE FRONTAL PASSAGE...AND ITS PROXIMITY TO THE AREA NEXT WEEK...THERE WILL CONTINUE TO BE A CHANCE OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS EACH DAY THROUGH THE PERIOD. DUE TO THE FRONTAL PASSAGE...TEMPERATURES SHOULD DROP BACK DOWN TO NEAR NORMAL NUMBERS. && .AVIATION /20Z WEDNESDAY THROUGH MONDAY/... SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS WILL DEVELOP DURING THE AFTERNOON WITH THE BEST CHANCE ACROSS THE NORTHERN AND CENTRAL MIDLANDS. AT 20Z STORMS SLOWLY APPROACHING CAE/CUB FROM THE WEST. LESS CHANCE FOR CONVECTION AT OGB. WILL AMEND AS NECESSARY. AS WAS THE CASE LAST NIGHT...WITH HIGH LOW LEVEL MOISTURE AND NOCTURNAL COOLING WILL LIKELY SEE AREAS OF FOG DEVELOP AFTER 09Z. AT THIS TIME WILL MENTION IFR CIGS AND VSBYS IN OGB AND AGS TAFS BETWEEN 10Z AND 13Z. EXTENDED AVIATION OUTLOOK...RESTRICTIONS POSSIBLE IN LATE NIGHT AND EARLY MORNING STRATUS AND FOG.
