DISCUSSION

KEY MESSAGE 1: Well above normal temperatures and rain-free conditions expected to prevail across southeast Georgia and southeast South Carolina this week.

Prominent ridging aloft and subtropical high pressure at the surface will yield a dry forecast with well-above average temperatures across the region for the next 7 days. Temperatures will range into the low to mid 80s through Monday, then mid 80s to low 90s on Tuesday through the weekend. These values would be on the order of 10 degrees (or more) above normal. As of right now, there does not appear to be a high probability of reaching daily record highs, but certainly a notable warm stretch for mid-April. Also, certainly not the most ideal setup with the ongoing Extreme Drought (D3) impacting much of the area on the U.S. Drought Monitor.

AVIATION /12Z SUNDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/

VFR conditions expected at KCHS, KJZI, and KSAV through 12z Monday.

Extended Aviation Outlook: VFR.

MARINE

Today through Friday: The marine zones will remain dominated by high pressure centered over the Atlantic through the period. This pattern should generally favor wind speeds around 10 kts. Wave heights are forecast to remain within the 2-4 ft range.
