Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Charleston SC 348 PM EDT Sat Jun 29 2019 .SYNOPSIS... A weak front will shift into the area late Sunday into Monday before high pressure prevails through late week. && .NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM SUNDAY MORNING/... Any lingering convection will quickly dissipate after sunset but some more showers and thunderstorms are possible late tonight near the coast and farther offshore where the greater instability will reside. Lows will range from around 70 inland to mid-upper 70s at the coast. && .SHORT TERM /6 AM SUNDAY MORNING THROUGH TUESDAY/... Sunday through Tuesday: A deep upper level low over the Northeast United States with weak troughing into the Southeast States Sunday will shift out well into the Atlantic Ocean while upper level ridging builds into the area by Tuesday. Surface troughing will develop to the lee of the Southern Appalachian Mountains Sunday and then a weak backdoor cold front will move into the area Sunday night. With drier air throughout much of the middle and upper atmosphere expected Sunday compared to today, it appears quite likely that the coverage of mainly afternoon showers and thunderstorms should be less than today, but think maintaining rain chances of near 20 percent for most areas makes sense. Cannot rule out a stray shower or thunderstorm Monday or Tuesday, but thinking that the building upper ridge and somewhat drier air in the mid and upper levels of the atmosphere will suppress convective development. High will generally warm through the period reaching the mid to upper 90s away from the coast by Tuesday. && .LONG TERM /TUESDAY NIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY/... At the sfc, lee troughing will gradually develop inland and become more pronounced through late week while a large mid/upper lvl ridge of high pressure becomes centered over the Southeast United States. The setup will favor warm conditions across the area as light southerly flow at the sfc occurs below a light west/northwest flow aloft. Although high pressure will dominate aloft, substantial heating could produce a few afternoon showers or thunderstorms mid week, especially across inland areas closer to the lee trough. Latest 1000-850mb thickness levels suggest temps approaching the mid/upper 90s Wednesday and Thursday afternoon, before some mid-lvl energy breaks down the ridge and potentially brings greater chances of showers and thunderstorms during the weekend. These temps in combination with sfc dewpts in the lower 70s could produce heat index values up to 105-107 degrees mid week, falling just short of Heat Advisory criteria in July. However, high temps should still approach the mid 90s away from the coast this weekend. Overnight lows will be mild, generally ranging in the mid 70s inland to upper 70s near the coast. && .AVIATION /19Z SATURDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/... Mostly VFR at KCHS/KSAV through 18Z Sunday except for some likely shower/tstm impacts, mainly through mid afternoon until the sea breeze strengthens and shifts inland. Extended Aviation Outlook: VFR conditions should prevail at both CHS and SAV terminals. However, brief flight restrictions are possible during an isolated showerS or thunderstorms each afternoon/evening. && .MARINE... Tonight: Winds will tick up a bit overnight while veering to the southwest and more westerly late. Speeds are mainly 10-15 kt or less with seas mostly 2 ft or less. Sunday through Wednesday: A weak backdoor cold front will shift into the area late Sunday into early Monday. High pressure will then build in and control the pattern through the middle of the week. Winds and seas are expected to remain below Small Craft Advisory levels during the period. Seas should build up to 2-4 ft, highest in northern South Carolina waters late Sunday into early Monday, then gradually subside to 1-3 ft Tuesday and Wednesday. && .TIDES/COASTAL FLOODING... There will be a risk for at least shallow coastal flooding across the coastal counties during the evening high tides Sunday through the middle of next week due to the approaching perigee, new moon and onshore winds. Coastal Flood Advisories may be needed, especially Monday and Tuesday evenings. && .EQUIPMENT... KCLX radar down until further notice. && .CHS WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... GA...None. SC...None.
