AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE CHARLESTON SC
420 PM EDT MON JUN 22 2015
.SYNOPSIS...
ATLANTIC HIGH PRESSURE WILL PREVAIL THROUGH MUCH OF THIS WEEK WHILE
A TROUGH OF LOW PRESSURE PERSISTS INLAND. A COLD FRONT WILL APPROACH
THE REGION FROM THE NORTH LATE WEEK AND REMAIN IN THE VICINITY
THROUGH THE WEEKEND.
&&
.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM TUESDAY MORNING/...
BOUNDARY INTERACTIONS ARE STARTING TO OCCUR...SO WE/RE RAINING
POPS A BIT HIGHER INTO THIS EVENING.
THIS EVENING...WHILE THERE IS STILL A CAP IN PLACE ACROSS OUR
EASTERN ZONES...IT IS IN A MUCH WEAKER FORM OR HAS BROKEN FURTHER
INLAND. ALTHOUGH THE MID LEVELS ARE STILL WARM...IT IS A LITTLE
COOLER AROUND 700 MB...AND 700-500 MB LAPSE RATES A BIT STEEPER AS
A RESULT. THAT ALONG WITH A SUBTLE PERTURBATION IN THE MID AND
UPPER LEVELS OF THE ATMOSPHERE HAS BEEN ENOUGH TO PROVIDE THE
AREA WITH BETTER COVERAGE OF SHOWERS/T-STORMS THAN WE HAVE SEEN
SINCE FRIDAY. MLCAPES ARE 3000-3500 J/KG...SBCAPES OF 4000-4500
J/KG AND LIFTED INDICES AS COLD AS -7 TO -9C. THIS WILL SUPPORT
20-40 PERCENT COVERAGE OF CONVENTION UNTIL 9 OR 10 PM. BEST
CHANCES WILL BE INLAND FROM US-17 IN ADVANCE OF THE INLAND
PENETRATING RESULTANT SEA BREEZE. BUT IF BOUNDARY INTERACTIONS
START OCCURRING WE MAY NEED TO RAISE POPS BASED ON FUTURE TRENDS.
PWATS OF 1.9-2.0 INCHES WILL ALLOW FOR WATER LOADING WITH A FEW
OF THE STRONGER CORES...AND WITH WINDEX VALUES OF 60-70 KT AND
DCAPES UPWARDS OF 1200-1500 J/KG...THIS WILL SUPPORT ISOLATED WET
DOWNBURST POTENTIAL. FOR THIS REASON WE WILL MAINTAIN AN ISOLATED
SEVERE RISK IN THE HAZARDOUS WEATHER OUTLOOK. SECONDARY HAZARDS
WILL INCLUDE MARGINALLY SEVERE HAIL IN THE TALLEST
STORMS...FREQUENT CLOUD TO GROUND LIGHTNING AND GIVEN LIMITED
STORM MOTION A LOCALIZED HEAVY RAIN RISK ALSO EXISTS.
HEAT INDICES HAVE CLIMBED AS HIGH AS 106-114F IN MANY OF OUR
COUNTIES...WITH EVEN A COUPLE OF SPOTS HAVING HIT 115F. SUFFICE
TO SAY THAT THE HEAT ADVISORY WILL REMAIN IN EFFECT FOR THE ENTIRE
CWFA THROUGH 7 PM.
TONIGHT...COVERAGE OF SHOWERS/STORMS FAR INLAND WILL COME TO AN END
BY 11 PM-MIDNIGHT AS NOCTURNAL EFFECTS TAKING OVER. ANY REDEVELOP
OF CONVECTION LOOKS TO TAKE PLACE OVER THE ATLANTIC...ESPECIALLY
OUT NEAR THE GULF STREAM. LOW LEVEL CONVERGENCE WITHIN THE
SOUTH/SW SYNOPTIC FLOW MIGHT SPUR SOME ISOLATED POPS ALONG THE SC
COAST AFTER MIDNIGHT...BUT WE HAVE HELD POPS TO LESS THAN 15
PERCENT. FULL DECOUPLING WILL NOT OCCUR FOR MOST
PLACES...PREVENTING OVERNIGHT MINS FROM DROPPING ANY LOWER THAN
MID AND UPPER 70S INLAND. THE BARRIER ISLANDS AND THE CHARLESTON
METRO AREA WILL BE THE WARMEST...UNABLE TO DROP BELOW 80-82F.
RECORD HIGH MINS WILL BE CHALLENGED...ESPECIALLY AT KCHS AND KCXM.
THIS MAY BE THE 8TH NIGHT IN A ROW IN DOWNTOWN CHARLESTON WHERE
THE TEMP FAILS TO FALL BELOW 80.
&&
.SHORT TERM /6 AM TUESDAY MORNING THROUGH THURSDAY/...
TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY...AN EXPANSIVE RIDGE OF HIGH PRESSURE WILL
PERSIST OVER THE SOUTHEASTERN UNITED STATES THROUGH MIDWEEK. AT THE
SFC...THE AREA WILL BE POSITIONED ALONG THE WESTERN PERIPHERY OF
ATLANTIC HIGH PRESSURE WHILE A PIEDMONT TROUGH REMAINS SITUATED
INLAND. DESPITE LARGE SCALE SINKING MOTION ASSOCIATED WITH HIGH
PRESSURE ALOFT...STRONG SFC HEATING ALONG AND THE PROXIMITY OF THE
LOW PRESSURE TROUGH INLAND SHOULD RESULT IN SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS DURING THE AFTERNOON AND EVENING HOURS TUESDAY AND
WEDNESDAY. LARGE DCAPES IN EXCESS OF 1000 J/KG SUGGESTS DAMAGING
WIND GUST POTENTIAL WITH A FEW STRONGER THUNDERSTORMS. HOWEVER...THE
THREAT OF WIDESPREAD SEVERE WEATHER IS NOT ANTICIPATED.
THE MAIN ISSUE WILL BE THE CONTINUATION OF HOT AND HUMID CONDITIONS
THROUGH AT LEAST MID WEEK...WHICH WILL LIKELY RESULT IN HEAT INDEX
VALUES BETWEEN 105 TO 110 DEGREES DURING PEAK HEATING HOURS EACH
AFTERNOON. HEAT INDEX VALUES WILL BE DEPENDENT ON SFC DEWPTS...WHICH
WILL MIX OUT TO AROUND 70 DURING PEAK HEATING...WHILE REMAINING IN
THE LOW TO MID 70S BEHIND AN INLAND MOVING SEABREEZE DURING LATE
AFTERNOON AND EVENING HOURS. GIVEN THE LIKELIHOOD OF HEAT INDEX
VALUES ABOVE 105 DEGREES ON TUESDAY...A HEAT ADVISORY WILL BE IN
EFFECT FROM NOON TO 7 PM. AN ADDITIONAL HEAT ADVISORY WILL LIKELY BE
NEEDED FOR WEDNESDAY.
AFTERNOON HIGH TEMPS ARE FORECAST TO REACH THE UPPER 90S TO AROUND
100 DEGREES WELL INLAND EACH DAY...WITH THE ONLY RELIEF COMING FOR
AN AFTERNOON/EVENING SHOWER AND/OR THUNDERSTORM. OVERNIGHT LOWS WILL
REMAIN MILD...IN THE MID/UPPER 70S INLAND TO LOWER 80S ALONG THE
COAST.
THURSDAY...MODELS CONTINUE TO INDICATE A SLIGHT WEAKENING OF THE MID
LVL RIDGE OF HIGH PRESSURE...MAINLY DUE TO H5 SHORTWAVE ACTIVITY
OVER THE SOUTHEAST. HIGH TEMPS COULD END UP A DEGREE OR TWO COOLER
THAN THE PREVIOUS DAY DUE TO AN INCREASE IN AFTERNOON/EVENING
SHOWER/THUNDERSTORM COVERAGE. HOWEVER...TEMPS ARE STILL EXPECTED TO
PEAK IN THE MID/UPPER 90S WITH MODERATE LEVELS OF HUMIDITY PRESENT.
HEAT INDEX VALUES COULD PEAK NEAR 105 DEGREES OVER MANY AREAS IN
SOUTHEAST SOUTH CAROLINA AND SOUTHEAST GEORGIA...RESULTING IN
ANOTHER HEAT ADVISORY THURSDAY AFTERNOON.
&&
.LONG TERM /THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH MONDAY/...
RELIEF FROM THE HEAT AND RELATIVELY DRY SPELL LOOKS TO OCCUR IN THE
LONG TERM PERIOD AS THE OVERALL PATTERN BECOMES MORE AMPLIFIED AND
ACTIVE. STAGNANT UPPER RIDGE WILL FINALLY BREAK DOWN AS BROAD
LONGWAVE TROUGH AND ASSOCIATED VORT MAX DIGS INTO THE UPPER MIDWEST
AND GREAT LAKES REGION...AND EVENTUALLY ENCOMPASSES THE EASTERN U.S.
THE FORECAST AREA WILL REMAIN ON THE WESTERN EDGE OF SURFACE HIGH
PRESSURE...HOWEVER THE PERSISTENT PIEDMONT TROUGH WILL EVENTUALLY
GET ABSORBED BY A LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM AND ATTENDANT FRONT THAT
SHIFTS INTO THE REGION OVER THE WEEKEND. OVERALL...THIS PATTERN WILL
SUPPORT MORE ACTIVE CONVECTIVE COVERAGE AND TEMPERATURES CLOSER TO
CLIMO.
&&
.AVIATION /20Z MONDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/...
WE HAVE MAINTAINED A PREVAILING VFR FORECAST THROUGH 18Z TUESDAY.
INCLUDED CB AND VCTS AT KCHS THROUGH 21Z AS ISOLATED TO SCATTERED
SHRA/TSRA CONTINUES TO DEVELOP. DIRECT IMPACTS ARE STILL NOT
CERTAIN...SO WILL AMEND IF NECESSARY. SOUTHERLY WINDS WILL ALSO BE
GUSTY THROUGH SUNSET...PEAKING AT 15 OR 20 KT AT TIMES.
AT KSAV THE BEST CHANCES FOR SHRA/TSRA WILL STAY SOUTH AND WEST
OF THE TERMINAL...SO NO NEED TO INCLUDE CB AND VCTS AT THIS TIME.
EXTENDED AVIATION OUTLOOK...BRIEF FLIGHT RESTRICTIONS POSSIBLE IN
AFTERNOON SHOWERS/THUNDERSTORMS...ESPECIALLY LATE IN THE WEEK.
&&
.MARINE...
TONIGHT...A 1027 MB RIDGE AXIS ALIGNED EAST-WEST ALONG 29-30N
LATITUDE WILL REMAIN IN PLACE AS A PIEDMONT TROUGH PERSISTS INLAND.
THE GRADIENT BETWEEN THESE TWO LARGE SCALE FEATURES WILL MAINTAIN A
FAIRLY TIGHT GRADIENT...ESPECIALLY BY SUMMER STANDARDS. THAT
ALONG WITH PARTIAL MIXING OF THE 20-30 KT NOCTURNAL LOW LEVEL JET
WILL SUPPORT SOUTH/SW WINDS AS HIGH AS 15 OR 20 KT. ALTHOUGH WE
COULD SEE SOME GUSTS UP NEAR 25 KT AT TIMES INTO THIS EVENING IN
CHARLESTON HARBOR...THEY ARE NOT FREQUENT ENOUGH TO RAISE A SMALL
CRAFT ADVISORY. SEAS WILL RANGE FROM 1-2 FT IN THE HARBOR...TO 2-4
FT ACROSS THE OPEN ATLANTIC...HIGHEST NORTH AND EAST.
TUESDAY THROUGH SATURDAY...ATLANTIC HIGH PRESSURE WILL PERSIST OVER
THE COASTAL WATERS WHILE A TROUGH OF LOW PRESSURE REMAINS INLAND. IN
GENERAL...WINDS/SEAS SHOULD REMAIN BELOW SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY LEVELS
THROUGH LATE WEEK...BUT NOCTURNAL JETTING AND AFTERNOON SEA BREEZE
CIRCULATIONS WILL RESULT IN SOUTH/SOUTHWEST WINDS PEAKING AROUND 15-
20 KT AT TIMES...ESPECIALLY ACROSS THE CHARLESTON COUNTY NEARSHORE
WATERS. SEAS WILL RANGE BETWEEN 2-4 FEET...BUT COULD REACH NEAR 5 FT
IN THE OUTER PORTIONS OF THE WATERS DURING SURGES.
