.DISCUSSION...
KEY MESSAGE 1: Dry conditions will persist through the weekend
with rain chances increasing early next week.

Ridging aloft will remain the driving feature across the
Southeast through the weekend. Dry high pressure will be
situated directly across the forecast area today then will
gradually shift out into the subtropical Atlantic through the
weekend. Temperatures will be typical of early summer with upper
80s and low 90s with the potential for some mid 90s by Sunday
and Monday. Overnight lows will gradually warm each night, with
upper 60s and low 70s for lows as we move into early next week.

Rain chances will begin to increase early next week as a
weakness develops in the ridge and the area of broad subsidence
lessens across the region. This should bring a more typical,
diurnally driven pattern of showers and thunderstorms from
Tuesday onward.

.AVIATION /12Z FRIDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...
VFR conditions are expected to prevail at KCHS, KJZI, and KSAV
through 12z Saturday.

Extended Aviation Outlook: VFR.

.MARINE...
Through tonight: Very quiet conditions will prevail across the
local waters. Expect no more than 5-10 kt winds until the sea
breeze develops in the afternoon bringing up to 10-15 knots
along the land/sea interface. Seas are expected to average 2-3
feet through the period.

Saturday through Tuesday: Conditions will remain below Small
Craft Advisory criteria through the period. High pressure will
dominate over the marine waters through the weekend, with a weak
cold front approaching on Tuesday. Winds will generally be out
of the SW, shifting to the SE along the coastline each afternoon
with the sea breeze.
