This was from the 5pm discussion from the NWS in Charleston. Nice simple explanation of their thoughts on the upcoming tropical scenarios....
"FRIDAY AND SATURDAY...THE RIDGE GIVES WAY TO A STRONG AND AMPLIFIED
TROUGH THAT PUSHES INTO THE EAST AND SE STATES DURING THE LATE WEEK.
THE TIMING OF THE TROUGH AND HOW QUICKLY THE RIDGE BREAKS DOWN WILL
DETERMINE WHAT HAPPENS TO THE TWO CURRENT ATLANTIC TROPICAL
CYCLONES. TROPICAL STORM ANA WILL LIKELY REMAIN FAR TO THE SOUTH
DURING THE WEEK WITH THE STRONG RIDGE IN PLACE OVER OUR
AREA. HOWEVER...WHATEVER SHAPE ANA IS IN NEXT WEEKEND...AT LEAST
HER ASSOCIATED TROPICAL MOISTURE COULD BECOME A PLAYER IN OUR
FORECAST AS SHE EVENTUALLY TURNS NORTHWARD.
MEANWHILE THE TRAILING TROPICAL CYCLONE/FORECAST TO BECOME
HURRICANE BILL/ WILL ATTEMPT TO FIND THE WEAKNESS IN THE
SUBTROPICAL RIDGE DURING THE FRIDAY/SATURDAY TIME PERIOD.
DEPENDING UPON WHERE THIS WEAKNESS OCCURS AND HOW STRONG AND FAR
EAST THE EASTERN U.S. TROUGH DEVELOPS WILL DETERMINE WHEN AND
WHERE THAT SYSTEM MAKES ITS MORE NORTHWARD TURN. LATEST
INDICATIONS ARE THAT THIS WILL BE BETWEEN THE BAHAMAS AND
BERMUDA...BUT IT IS WAY TOO EARLY TO KNOW FOR SURE. THUS ALL
PERSONS IN SE SC AND SE GA ARE ADVISED TO KEEP A WATCH ON THE
TROPICS."
