Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Charleston SC
1038 AM EDT Mon Jun 9 2025
.SYNOPSIS...
Active weather pattern continues as multiple upper level
disturbances impact the region, resulting in daily chances for
showers and storms. A few storms this afternoon and evening may
become severe, or capable of producing damaging wind gusts and
locally heavy rainfall.
&&
.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...
Decaying storms have moved in from South Central Georgia, which
have now settled to scattered showers developing/pushing
northeast toward the Charleston Tri-County and the SC coastal
areas. This could affect the evolution of expected convection
later this afternoon, in that some stabilization occurs and
delays future activity by a couple of hours. For example, latest
observations show that the recent/ongoing rainfall has lowered
temps across the interior counties back into the lower 70s.
Today: Aloft, the forecast area will be situated on the
southeast periphery of the cyclonic flow around the low centered
across the Upper Midwest and Great Lakes region. At the
surface, a front will remain upstream leaving the forecast area
in a warm and moist summer airmass. Model guidance is again
quite mixed on how diurnal convection will play out this
afternoon. It seems as though initiation will take place early
this afternoon mainly due to surface heating and some focusing
on a subtle ThetaE gradient noted across southeast GA. Storm
motions should be from southwest to northeast which will allow
convection to spread into southeast SC through the mid to late
afternoon hours. Soundings reveal an environment with 30- 35
knots of mid-level flow, DCAPE values of 800-1,000 J/kg, and
MLCAPE values in the 1,500-2,000 J/kg range. This will again
yield the potential for damaging wind gusts within the stronger
storms that develop. The entire forecast area remains within the
SPC Day 1 Slight Risk. Highs are forecast to range from the
upper 80s to the low 90s, with the warmest values along the
coastal corridor.
This evening and tonight: Afternoon convection should move off
to the northeast early in the evening. Attention then turns to
the possibility of upstream convection arriving from the west.
This upstream convection appears to be driven by remnant outflow
or an MCV tracking eastward across the Deep South. Despite
moving past diurnal heating and into the evening hours, the
presence of this MCV could be enough to keep at least scattered
convection going across inland areas into the early morning
hours. Then overall coverage should diminish to no more than
isolated as sunrise Tuesday approaches. Expect another mild
night with temperatures only falling into the low to mid 70s.
&&
.SHORT TERM /TUESDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/...
Upper level trough pushes eastward across the Ohio River Valley
Tuesday, sending its attendant sfc cold front toward the
region. While a few remnant showers/storms may be ongoing near
daybreak, should see a brief lull in activity through the late
morning and early afternoon hours, as temperatures warm into the
mid to upper 80s. Precipitation chances then return heading
into the late afternoon along the advancing sea breeze. Despite
there being ample instability (CAPE ~1500 to 2000 J/kg) and
DCAPE (~1000 J/kg) to work with, overall shear remains rather
meager, with 0-6 km values less than 20 kt. Mid level lapse rate
are also fairly modest (less than 7 degC/km). All this to say,
a few storms may become severe, or capable of producing damaging
wind gusts and locally heavy rainfall.
Upper level flow turns quasi-zonal heading into Wednesday, with
modest ridging then progged to briefly build overhead through
the Thursday. Meanwhile, at the sfc, will see the aforementioned
cold front become oriented along the coast as it stalls out
Wednesday afternoon. While conditions look to remain fairly dry
for the first half of the day, expect diurnally driven showers
to return during the latter half as a result of sea breeze
boundary interactions.
Otherwise, look for a warm front to lift across the area
Thursday, allowing the stalled front to finally shift. With the
aid of WAA, should see renewed chances for showers and storms
return yet again during the afternoon and evening. Highs during
this time look to remain in the upper 80s to low 90s, with lows
generally in the upper 60s to low 70s.
&&
.LONG TERM /THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY/...
Active weather pattern continues for the remainder of the
extended period as a series of upper level disturbances graze
the region. While confidence in any one solution remains low at
this time, most guidance generally agrees that development will
be diurnally driven. As such, have chances for showers and
storms gradually increasing throughout the afternoon/evenings.
Temperatures look to hold steady during this time, with
afternoon highs in the lower 90s becoming more common as we head
into the new week.
&&
.AVIATION /15Z MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/...
KCHS and KJZI: VFR conditions should prevail through much of
the period. The main forecast concern is for afternoon and
evening thunderstorm impacts. We have maintained VCTS starting
at 20z. The TEMPO group for TSRA runs from 21-00z at both
sites. Confidence in direct impacts is low, and if either site
takes a direct hit there could be a brief period of IFR
conditions mainly in visibility. Gusty winds will also accompany
any thunderstorms that move through.
KSAV: The most immediate concern is a cluster of showers and
thunderstorms that is moving across southeast GA. Current
trajectory of this cluster would suggest most (if not all) of
the activity will remain north of KSAV. We have not added
anything to the TAF at this point and will handle with
amendments if need be. Attention then turns to afternoon
thunderstorm activity. We have maintained the VCTS coming into
the TAF at 18z with a TEMPO group for TSRA from 19-22z.
Confidence in direct impacts is low, and if the terminal takes a
direct hit from a thunderstorm there could be a brief period of
IFR conditions mainly in visibility. Gusty winds will also
accompany any thunderstorms that move through.
Extended Aviation Outlook: Typical summertime convection
pattern will bring periodic flight restrictions through mid-
week.
&&
.MARINE...
Today and tonight: We will continue to see elevated southwest
flow across much of the local waters through the period. Winds
should top out around 15 knots this morning, then increase
through the afternoon into the 15-20 knot range. In fact, the
chances for frequent 25 knot gusts increases for the Charleston
County waters by late afternoon and through most of the
overnight. This will be sufficient to go with a Small Craft
Advisory starting in the late afternoon and continuing through
sunrise Tuesday. Seas should average 2-4 feet, except up to 5
feet at times in the Charleston County waters and the far out
portion of the outer GA waters. Once again, inland thunderstorms
could move to the coast and then into the coastal waters this
afternoon and evening bringing the potential for strong wind
gusts.
Tuesday through Friday: Expect south-westerly winds to prevail
throughout the period. Could see winds become a bit breezy
Tuesday, with gusts approaching 23 kt in the Charleston County
nearshore waters. Seas during this time should largely range
between 2 to 4 feet. For now conditions remain marginal, but
will continue to monitor trends in the event that SCA are
needed. Otherwise, no marine concerns are expected beyond
Tuesday night.
