SYNOPSIS
High pressure will prevail through Thursday. A cold front will move through on Saturday, followed by cooler high pressure through early next week.

NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM THURSDAY MORNING/
Surface high pressure will continue to ridge south into the region tonight, while a weak coastal trough takes shape offshore. The potential for showers largely looks to stay over the waters, though a few could make a run for the coast late.
For now, we maintain a dry forecast over land areas. Temperatures will range from the upper 50s across the interior to lower/mid 60s elsewhere, except upper 60s along the beaches.

SHORT TERM /6 AM THURSDAY MORNING THROUGH SATURDAY/
High pressure east of New England will remain wedged down the East Coast Thursday, then shift east by Thursday night. A weak coastal trough will linger nearby on Thursday, with isolated showers possibly moving into eastern SC Thursday afternoon. A potent shortwave will move through Friday afternoon. Moisture will be limited so we do not expect much precipitation, though an isolated shower or tstm will be possible over eastern Charleston/Berkeley Counties in the afternoon. A cold front will sweep through Saturday morning, though downslope flow in the wake of the front will push highs into the upper 70s to lower 80s.

LONG TERM /SATURDAY NIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY/
Cool, dry high pressure will prevail Saturday night through Wednesday. Sunday and Monday mornings look the coolest due to best radiational cooling. Inland lows will dip into the mid 40s.
Temperatures will moderate by mid week as a zonal flow develops.

AVIATION /02Z THURSDAY THROUGH MONDAY/
KCHS/KJZI/KSAV: VFR is expected through 00z Friday.

Extended Aviation Outlook: Prevailing VFR.

MARINE
Tonight: The pressure gradient will remain enhanced through the night resulting in NE winds averaging around 15 kt. Gusts will mostly top out around 20 kt with a few locations across the Georgia waters with gusts near 25 kt. Wave heights will range from 3-5 feet in the nearshore waters, and 5-6 feet in the outer GA waters (from 20-60nm) where a Small Craft Advisory remains in effect.

Thursday through Monday: NE winds will gradually weaken on Thursday as the surface high to the north weakens and shifts east. A cold front will move through early Saturday, after which a brief WNW wind surge occurs. Currently, we show winds/seas remaining just below Small Craft Advisory criteria through Sunday. Winds will turn more to the SW early next week as high pressure expands over the area.

CHS WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES
GA...None.
SC...None.
MARINE...Small Craft Advisory until 5 PM EDT Thursday for AMZ374.
