Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Charleston SC 1030 PM EDT Mon Jul 13 2020

SYNOPSIS. A weak front will drift into the area tonight and linger in the vicinity through Wednesday. The front is expected to dissipate by Thursday and high pressure will persist across the Southeast into early next week.

NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM TUESDAY MORNING/. We will hold onto isolated showers over the Charleston tri- county region through 12-1 am, waiting for the tail end of a vort lobe to pull offshore. Conditions will then be rainfree there and all other locations the rest of the night. Given increasing CINH, weakening thermodynamics and some "cooler" air from the previous convection, we have removed mention of t-storms from the forecast.

There could be some fog where it rained earlier, but no signals for anything significant. Thus we have not included in the forecast.

The "cooler" outflow air from the convection Monday evening has prompted us to lower temps a few degrees over northern sections. We now have lower and middle 70s for min temps most communities, with a few upper 70s along the immediate shoreline.

SHORT TERM /6 AM TUESDAY MORNING THROUGH THURSDAY/. Tuesday through Thursday: Overall, the pattern looks very summerlike across the forecast area. Aloft, a weak mid and upper level disturbance is expected to drift southward to the Florida panhandle on Tuesday. Then by Wednesday and Thursday a ridge aloft will take hold and strengthen across Georgia and the Carolinas. A very weak front will drift into the area on Tuesday, linger through Wednesday, and then dissipate by Thursday. Thunderstorm coverage is forecast to be isolated on Tuesday as model soundings show dewpoints mixing out inland in the afternoon. Wednesday will perhaps see the best coverage as the weak front lingers in the area, but still just isolated to scattered. By Thursday, thunderstorms will likely struggle as the ridge continues to build aloft and the surface high becomes more prominent. The forecast features mid to upper 90s for Tuesday and Wednesday, then just a touch cooler for Thursday as onshore flow prevails in the low levels. The severe risk is quite low, but we can never completely discount a strong to marginally severe thunderstorm this time of year.

LONG TERM /THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH MONDAY/. A mid/upper level ridge of high pressure will extend across the Southeast through much of the week with the bulk of shortwave energy passing north of the area with a series of longwave troughs. A more typical summertime pattern is anticipated with few to scattered showers/thunderstorms possible each afternoon/evening through Friday. Precip coverage should slightly increase late weekend as weak h5 shortwave energy enters the area while onshore sfc flow persists between high pressure extending across the western Atlantic and lee trough inland. High temps will be a few degrees above normal through the week, generally ranging in low/mid 90s each day (warmest inland), but could be a degree or two cooler late week and into early next week as onshore sfc flow remains in place and precip coverage increases. Overnight lows should remain mild, ranging in the mid/upper 70s away from the immediate coast.

AVIATION /03Z TUESDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/. VFR will prevail, although isolated to perhaps scattered SHRA/TSRA will be around after 18-19Z Tuesday. No need to include any mention at this time at either KCHS or KSAV.

Extended Aviation Outlook: Low probabilities of direct impacts from thunderstorms at the terminals each day.

MARINE. Tonight: A weak cold front will slip toward the coast of the southeast, as the Atlantic ridge is suppressed over southern Florida. Winds over the Charleston County waters were altered due to earlier convection, but a SW flow will re-establish itself and dominate there and all waters through the night. As land breeze influences develop late, winds will turn more toward the W. Winds will be no more than 10 or 15 kt throughout. Seas will hold around 2-4 ft, highest north and east waters.

Tuesday through Saturday: South to southwest winds will prevail Tuesday and Wednesday. Then as high pressure takes hold, winds will be more south to southeast into the weekend. Wind speeds will generally top out in the 10-15 knot range with seas no higher than 2 to 3 feet.

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.
