Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Charleston SC 1005 AM EDT Thu Jul 16 2020

SYNOPSIS. Atlantic high pressure should prevail into the middle of next week.

NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/. Mid level ridging will persist over the Carolinas today. At the surface, high pressure will be the dominant feature. Subsidence and mid level dry air noted in the 12z KCHS RAOB will act to limit convection. We maintained slight chance (20%) through the afternoon to account for isolated showers/thunderstorms that could develop along and inland of the sea breeze. No severe weather is anticipated, but with beefy DCAPE values, could see some gusty winds within any storms that do develop. Otherwise, high temperatures are forecast to be in the low to mid 90s inland of the beaches. Ongoing forecast was in good shape, so only minor changes were needed with the late morning update.

Tonight: The sfc ridge will increase over the land zones during the night. At H5, the ridge centered over TN will continue to remain over the forecast area. Based on the thermal profiles, the atmosphere should feature llvl CIN. I will keep PoPs in the single digits overnight. Using a blend of MOS, low temperatures are forecast to range from the low 70s inland to the upper 70s along the coast.

SHORT TERM /FRIDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/. A fairly typical summertime pattern will be in place this weekend and to start off next week as the area remains positioned between sfc high pressure extending across the western Atlantic and a lee trough developing inland. A few showers and/or thunderstorms will be possible Friday afternoon and Saturday afternoon, mainly associated with an inland moving seabreeze circulation. Any convection during the day will quickly dissipate during evening hours with diurnal heat loss. By Sunday, few to scattered showers and thunderstorms will be possible during the afternoon, with greatest precip coverage occurring across inland areas near the vicinity of a pronounced lee trough. Again, most convection will likely dissipate quickly during the evening due to diurnal heat loss.

Temps will remain warm each day under ridging aloft and sufficient sfc heating in place. In general, highs will range in the low/mid 90s each day. A few locations could even peak in the upper 90s well inland across Southeast Georgia Saturday and Sunday. Overnight lows will be mild, ranging in the low/mid 70s inland to upper 70s/around 80 near the coast.

LONG TERM /SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY/. A mid/upper level ridge of high pressure will persist across the Southeast through early next week with the bulk of shortwave energy passing north of the area within a broad zonal flow. However, subtle h5 shortwave activity should begin to drift across the Southeast by the middle of next week as a broad mid-upper lvl trough of low pressure takes shape across the Central United States. Ahead of the trough, temps will be warm, peaking in the low/mid 90s each day (warmest across inland areas of Southeast Georgia), but scattered showers and thunderstorms could limit overall high temps during afternoon hours, especially during the middle of next week when shortwave energy associated with the trough is expected to help produce greater precip coverage between the western edge of high pressure across the Atlantic and a more pronounced lee trough just inland. Overnight lows should remain mild, ranging in the mid/upper 70s away from the immediate coast.

AVIATION /14Z THURSDAY THROUGH MONDAY/. VFR is expected to prevail through 12z Friday. The chance for a direct impact from afternoon showers/thunderstorms is too low to include mention in the TAF at this time.

Extended Aviation Outlook: VFR conditions will likely prevail at both terminals through the weekend, but brief flight restrictions are possible during afternoon/evening showers and/or thunderstorms Sunday and Monday.

MARINE. Today and Tonight: High pressure will remain over the waters through tonight with conditions expected to be well below Small Craft Advisory thresholds. In general, east winds will peak around 10 kts. Seas will range between 1 to 3 ft.

Friday through Tuesday: Atlantic high pressure will prevail across the coastal waters this weekend and into early next week. Given a weak pressure gradient pattern in place, winds/seas are expected to remain below Small Craft Advisory levels. In general, east-southeast winds should peak no higher than 10-15 kt during the weekend, then gradually become south early next week, peaking no higher than 15-20 kt. Seas will be no higher than 2-3 ft.

Finally, tide and current data on this site is from 2007 and 2008 data bases, which may contain even older data. Changes in harbors due to building or dredging change tides and currents and for that reason many of the locations presented are no longer supported by newer data bases. For example, there is very little tidal current data in newer data bases so current data is likely wrong to some extent. This data is NOT FOR NAVIGATION. See the XTide disclaimer for details. In addition, tide and current are influenced by storms, river flow, and other factors beyond the ability of any predictive program.
