.DISCUSSION...
KEY MESSAGE 1: Dry conditions and seasonable temperatures
expected this weekend and into next week.

Tonight: High pressure will extend across the region tonight. A
bit of a pressure gradient between higher pressure to the north
and weak inverted northwest-southeast oriented surface trough
over Georgia will likely keep the winds up a bit slightly this
evening before going light/calm after midnight as the boundary
layer decouples. High clouds associated with the subtropical jet
will slowly thin out with time with mostly clear conditions
expected late. This will allow some modest radiational cooling
to occur, especially over the South Carolina Lowcountry where a
longer boundary decoupling is expected to occur. Lows will
range from the mid-upper 40s inland to the upper 50s/near 60 at
the beaches. Some lower 40s are possible, mainly over central
and northern portions of Berkeley County and interior upper
Charleston County in the Francis Marion National Forest.

Sunday through Saturday: Surface High pressure will prevail
across the Southeast U.S. the first half of next week, bringing
dry conditions. High temperatures Sunday should range from
around 70 degrees to the mid 70s, except cooler at the beaches.
Temperatures rise a few degrees on Monday, peaking in the mid to
upper 70s, which is a few degrees above normal. These highs
should again be reached Tuesday and Wednesday. The combination
of light to calm winds and mostly clear skies should lead to
decent radiational cooling Sunday and Monday nights. Lows should
dip to around 40 degrees far inland, and the 50s at/near the
beaches. An increase in clouds and perhaps winds should warm up
low temperatures a few degrees Tuesday and Wednesday nights.

A fast moving cold front could bring a brief period of light
showers on Thursday. Behind the front, expect dry conditions on
Friday along with temperatures well below normal, especially
overnights.

.AVIATION /00Z SUNDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/...
VFR conditions are expected at KCHS/KJZI/KSAV through the 00Z

.MARINE...
Tonight: There are no concerns with northeast winds prevailing.
There will likely be a bit of a nocturnal surge late, but speeds
should max out around 15 kt with gusts to 20 kt. Seas will
average 2-4 ft, highest over the outer portions over the 20-60
NM legs.

Sunday through Thursday: Surface High pressure will prevail
across the Southeast U.S. the first half of next week, bringing
a light to perhaps gentle breeze. Seas will be 3-5 ft on Sunday.
On Monday, seas are expected to subside to 2-3 ft within 20 nm
and 3-4 ft for the 20-60 nm waters, then persisting through the
middle of next week.
