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

Aloft, mid-upper ridging will remain centered across the Southeast
United States this weekend, supporting ample subsidence along the
western periphery of a sfc high centered across the western
Atlantic. The pattern will likely result in dry conditions across
all areas through the weekend with temperatures typical of early
summer (upper 80s/lower 90s Saturday, although some spots could
approach the mid 90s along the I-95 corridor Sunday). Overnight lows
will gradually warm each night, with upper 60s/lower 70s inland
to mid 70s at the beaches and Downtown Charleston into early next
week.

Rain chances will begin to increase early next week as mid-upper
lvl ridging starts to weaken and moisture deepens within a
southerly flow along the western periphery of the sfc high
across the Atlantic. Greatest chances for rainfall should occur
heading into mid-week with the approach of a front from the
north, but guidance continues to suggest this feature to
weaken/dissipate prior to reaching the South Santee River. The
setup would more likely feature diurnally driven shower and
thunderstorm activity, possibly along a seabreeze each afternoon
Tuesday through late week.

.AVIATION /12Z SATURDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
VFR conditions will prevail at CHS/JZI/SAV terminals through 12Z

Extended Aviation Outlook: VFR conditions expected at all terminals
through early next week. Brief flight restrictions possible with
afternoon showers/thunderstorms Tuesday and Wednesday.

&&

.MARINE...
Today and Tonight: South/southeast winds will prevail along the
western periphery of an Atlantic high, topping out around 15 kt
(highest along the land/sea interface where a sea breeze develops
and shifts inland). Seas will range between 1-3 ft, largest
tonight.

Sunday through Wednesday: 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 S, with a
typical summertime pattern of a surge in gusts along the coast with
the afternoon sea breeze.
