A cold front is expected to stall over or close to the region by the middle of next week, bringing higher rain chances and somewhat cooler temperatures. Near term until 6 am Friday morning Latest trends through midnight indicated multicell thunderstorms and associated weak cool pool gradually pushing offshore and decreasing in coverage and intensity. Deep moisture lingers and lighter rains inland will also disperse but isolated tstms also possible given the myriad of mesoscale boundaries in the region. Showers and tstms still going in southeast ga in areas along i-95 where the atmosphere was not previously tapped. We adjusted 10 pm observed temps and pops and mainly blended current conditions into the anticipated quieter overnight forecast grids. Our area will remain between atlantic high pressure and troughing inland. Both the synoptic models and the cams are in good agreement showing land areas becoming relatively dry overnight. Short term 6 am Friday morning through Sunday Friday through Sunday: outside any thunderstorms, heat index values will top out in the 105-109f range at many locations, and heat index values could briefly top out around 110f at some locations near the coast just inland from the beaches as the sea breeze pushes inland. Guidance depicts above normal pops Friday afternoon early evening, especially across southeast ga, due in part to an enhanced weakness in the upper ridge over the region. Capped maximum pops around 50 percent across SE ga, but locally greater pops could eventually be required. In typical fashion for mid-july, a couple of pulse thunderstorms could briefly become severe with damaging wind gusts. Saturday and Sunday: per latest guidance, only subtle changes in the configuration of the upper ridge and inland surface trough could translate to reduced coverage of diurnal afternoon into evening thunderstorms as compared with Friday afternoon evening. The risk for brief isolated damaging wind gusts will continue each afternoon evening. Long term Sunday night through Thursday Moderate confidence this period. The low-level lee-side trough looks to persist early in the week before deeper troughing likely moves into the area for mid week. This will mean increasing rain chances and lower temperatures, although hesitate to be too aggressive with rain chances so far out given the rarity of summertime cold fronts in this part of the country. Heat indices could still be near 110 |
degrees through Monday but the risk for heat advisories will likely be over starting Tuesday. Aviation 02z Friday through Tuesday Tstms still lingering at or around kchs ksav at 0230z. Lighter rains at kchs should disperse by midnight withVFR conditions expected overnight and Friday morning. Tstms are again possible late day on Friday. Extended aviation outlook:VFR much of this period. Brief flight restrictions and gusty shifting winds could occur within near thunderstorms, especially during the afternoon evening hours. The chance for thunderstorms associated flight restrictions could be greatest Friday afternoon evening and starting Tuesday as a cold front approaches the region. Marine Tonight: the synoptic pattern will consist of high pressure in the atlantic and a trough inland. The surface pressure gradient will become elevated the first half of the night, causing the low level jet to set up. Expect S to SW winds up to 15-20 kt with higher gusts through midnight. Winds will gradually ease during the second half of the night, as the gradient lowers slightly. Seas will be in the 2-4 ft range. Showers and tstms across charleston waters will tend to move away by midnight with synoptic wind fields returning to south and southwest. Friday through Tuesday: a typical summer pattern featuring a trough of low pressure inland and offshore high pressure will support a continuation of south southwest winds through the period. Wind speeds will be enhanced near the coast during the afternoon evening from the sea breeze and across coastal waters during the overnight. Through this weekend, winds should remain capped around 20 knots and seas should;d average 2-4 feet, below small craft advisory levels. Early next week, a cold front will approach the region, and the probability for local SCA conditions could increase. Chs watches warnings advisories Ga... None. Sc... None. Marine... None.

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. |
