Fxus62 kchs 200720 afdchs area forecast discussion national weather service charleston sc 320 am edt Fri sep 20 2019 Synopsis High pressure will prevail into early next week. A weak cold front could push into the area Monday night and linger through mid week before dissipating. Temperatures will be near to above normal through the period. Near term through tonight As of 315 am: kclx detected a fine line of low dbz off the southern sc coast, likely associated with a land breeze. This feature was drifting very slowly east over the near shore waters. I will anticipate that isolated showers will remain along and east of the land breeze early this morning. High resolution guidance suggest that the land breeze will transition to a sea breeze between 15z-17z. Href and latest run of the hrrr indicate that showers will increase along the coast ahead of the sea breeze, especially across SE ga. The shower potential will be highlighted with schc to chc pops, values peaking during the mid-afternoon. Using a blend of mos, high temperatures are forecast to range from the mid 80s across inland ga to around 80 along the coast. Tonight: near term guidance indicates that the eastern edge of h7-h5 ridging will build over the forecast area. At the sfc, the center of high pressure is expected to slide south over nc by daybreak sat. The combination of light to calm winds and thin cloud cover should support another night of low temperatures in the 60s. Short term Saturday through Monday Moderate to high confidence this period. Deep high pressure is expected to prevail most of the period, although a weak cold front looks to approach on Monday as tropical cyclone jerry moves north well offshore between the bahamas and bermuda. Rain chances will be almost zero, with the best chance of a few light showers near the ga coast Sunday. Temperatures will generally warm through the period staying near or above normal. Long term Monday night through Thursday Moderate confidence this period. Medium range guidance in decent agreement indicating a weak cold front pushing into the area Monday night before stalling out and eventually dissipating through mid week. Meanwhile tropical cyclone jerry is forecast by the national hurricane center to be moving north northeast well offshore. Weak high pressure should then return late in the week. Overall not expecting any significant rainfall. Temperatures should remain above normal with heat indices back near 100 degrees across ga Wednesday and Thursday.

Aviation 07z Friday through Tuesday 06z tafs:VFR forecast for kchs and ksav through the TAF period. Ridging high pressure and mixing will likely yield gusts near 20 kts at both terminals this afternoon. A few showers are forecast to track onshore along the SE ga coast today. At this time, the showers should favor a passage south of ksav. Extended aviation outlook: no significant concerns through Wednesday. Marine I anticipate that isolated showers will remain along and east of the land breeze early this morning. High resolution guidance suggest that the land breeze will transition to a sea breeze between 15z- 17z. As a result, northeast winds this morning into early this afternoon will veer from the east-northeast this afternoon. Speeds should favor values between 15-20 kts. Tonight, the center of sfc high pressure is expected to slide south over nc by daybreak sat. The weakening pressure gradient should support winds between 10-15 kts. Given veering winds, decreasing speeds, and subsiding seas, small craft advisories for the near shore sc and ga waters are expected to end during the overnight hours. Saturday through Wednesday: high pressure will give way to a weak cold front Monday night. The front should then dissipate across the area through the middle of next week. Seas will be subsiding but will remain at advisory levels beyond 20 nm through Saturday night. Rip currents: an elevated risk for rip currents will likely continue through at least Saturday mainly for lingering swells from humberto. Chs watches warnings advisories Ga... High rip current risk through this evening for gaz117-119-139- 141. Sc... High rip current risk through this evening for scz048>051. Marine... Small craft advisory until 11 pm edt this evening for amz352. Small craft advisory until 8 pm edt this evening for amz350. Small craft advisory until 5 am edt Saturday for amz354. Small craft advisory until 8 am edt Sunday for amz374. Near term... Ned short term... Rjb long term... Rjb aviation... Ned rjb marine... Ned rjb

It is not checked for accuracy either by anyone at L-36.com or by the source which is typically the US Government. See the NOAA web site for their disclaimer. 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.
