Synopsis for the coastal waters of south coastal south carolina and north coastal georgia - High pressure will extend across the area through early next week. A cold front could approach late next week.

Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Columbia SC 301 AM EDT Sat Jun 1 2024

SYNOPSIS
Dry high pressure will be in control through Saturday bringing cooler than normal temperatures. High pressure will move offshore this weekend allowing moisture and above normal temperatures to return to the region. This pattern typically results diurnally driven, isolated to widely scattered showers and thunderstorms which should continue through at least mid week.

NEAR TERM /UNTIL 7 AM THIS MORNING/
High pressure to our north continues to move toward the eastern seaboard overnight. Aloft, the upper level trough has moved offshore and ridging will move into the region for the weekend.
Northwest flow ahead of the ridge will continue to usher in cooler than normal temperatures. Airmass remains drier than usual for one more night. With mostly clear skies and light winds, another good radiational cooling night may be on tap.
Only fly in the ointment may be if a few higher clouds move through. Even so, still expect cooler readings for one more night, with lows in the low to middle 50s.

SHORT TERM /7 AM THIS MORNING THROUGH 6 PM SUNDAY/
With high pressure moving offshore Saturday weak southerly flow will develop over the Southeast. Despite some increase in atmospheric moisture the highest PWAT values remain well west of the forecast area. PWAT are likely to remain under 1 inch.
Model guidance shows a sea-breeze boundary working into the area late day along with possibly a shortwave trough. However, dry air and warm temperatures aloft will very likely prevent rainfall. With a southerly component to the low level flow, highs will be slightly warmer than the previous day, mainly in the mid to upper 80s. Overnight lows will be closer to normal than the past few night with values in the low to mid 60s.

LONG TERM /SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY/
Sunday marks the start of a shift in the synoptic pattern with zonal flow or weak ridging over the region and increasing moisture. PWAT values rise above 1 inch as surface high pressure moves further offshore and a deeper southerly flow develops.
This will also lead to warmer temperatures than during the week with highs in the mid to upper 80s. With the more zonal flow pattern aloft we may see a shortwave work into the area. Near normal atmospheric moisture and possible shortwave activity could support isolated to widely scattered showers and thunderstorms. In general, the strongest vorticity advection seems to stay west and north of the forecast area so widespread convection seems unlikely.

Zonal flow is generally expected to persist into mid-week with periodic shortwave activity pushing through the Southeast.
Atmospheric moisture remains near or slightly above normal during this timeframe. This pattern of possible shortwave activity and near normal atmospheric moisture should support isolated to scattered convection each afternoon and evening.
Highs during the long term should be near or slightly above normal. Global ensembles favor an upper level trough digging into the eastern US mid to late next week. There are some differences though between members as to the amplitude and timing of the trough. This could allow a front to approach the FA towards the end of the long term, but confidence is low given the differences in ensemble members.

AVIATION /07Z SATURDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/
VFR conditions expected through the TAF period.

As high pressure moves offshore Saturday, will see a gradual increase in moisture with winds shifting out of the southeast between 5 to 10 knots. While VFR conditions are expected to continue, a cumulus field will develop around 5kft.

EXTENDED AVIATION OUTLOOK...Isolated afternoon showers and storms each day Sunday through Wednesday. Low chance of restrictions late this weekend and into early next week.

CAE WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES
SC...None.
GA...None.
