What forecasters said that day

The local office's own words before this tornado warning went out, as it sent them, from the Iowa Environmental Mesonet's archive of National Weather Service text.

NWS Charleston, SC wrote its last area forecast discussion before this tornado warning went out at Jun 13, 9:30 PM EDT, 1 hour 58 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Jun 13, 9:30 PM EDT, 1 hour 58 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE CHARLESTON SC
930 PM EDT TUE JUN 13 2006

...TROPICAL STORM ALBERTO APPROACHING SE GA...
...HEAVY RAINS AND GUSTY WINDS TO CONTINUE...

.SHORT TERM /TONIGHT/...WIND PROFILES FROM VARIOUS RADARS SHOWING
MORE UNIDIRECTIONAL WINDS THAN EARLIER IN THE DAY...BUT STILL ENOUGH
SHEAR IN THE LOWEST FEW THOUSAND FT THAT WE WILL LIKELY SEE A NEW
TORNADO WATCH ISSUED AT 10 PM.

OTHERWISE THE FIRST RAINBAND HAS LIFTED N OF THE CWA...BUT OTHERS
ARE NOW DEVELOPING ACROSS THE SRN AND ERN CWA...AS ADDITIONAL
TROPICAL MOISTURE CONTINUES TO FEED INTO ALBERTO AS IT MOVES THRU
SRN GA. SYSTEM STILL LOOKS TO BE ON TRACK TO MOVE THRU SE GA THE
FIRST PART OF TONIGHT AND INTO SE SC OVERNIGHT.

NOT YET SEEING WINDS MORE THAN 15-25 MPH ACROSS INLAND SECTIONS OF
THE CWA...BUT STILL ANTICIPATING AN INCREASE AS CENTER OF ALBERTO
MOVES THRU THE AREA. MAY ADJUST WINDS DOWN SOME INLAND EARLY AND
INCREASE SLIGHTLY ALONG THE COAST...BUT OTHERWISE I EXPECT TO HAVE
TO MAKE FEW IF ANY CHANGES TO THE CURRENT PUBLIC FCST.
&&

.FLOODING...ALTHOUGH WE HAVE RECEIVED NO REPORTS OF FLOODING...MOST
OF THE AREA HAS SEEN A GOOD 1-2 INCHES OF RAIN SINCE THE EVENT
BEGAN. HOWEVER...2-4 INCHES HAVE BEEN COMMON ACROSS PARTS OF SE
GA...WITH EVEN LOCALLY HIGHER AMOUNTS. TRAINING OF ECHOES HAS NOT
YET BEEN A PROBLEM...BUT WE ARE SEEING SIGNS THAT FLOODING MAY
BECOME MORE OF A CONCERN IN THE AREA N OF THE CENTER OF ALBERTO
ACROSS OUR WRN AREAS. FLOOD WARNINGS CERTAINLY MAY BE ISSUED AT SOME
POINT OVERNIGHT...BUT FOR NOW THE FLOOD WATCH WILL REMAIN IN PLACE.
&&

.MARINE...TROPICAL STORM FORCE WIND GUSTS OCCURRING OVER THE ATLC
THIS EVE...WITH EVEN GUSTS CLOSE TO TROPICAL STORM STRENGTH IN CHS
HARBOR. WINDS WILL INCREASE SLIGHTLY MORE TS ALBERTO CONTINUES TO
MOVE ACROSS INLAND PORTIONS OF THE CWA. WINDS WILL VEER MORE TO THE
S AND SW OVERNIGHT AS THE SYSTEM REACHES AT AND N OF OUR LATITUDE.
IN ADDITION...RADAR VELOCITY RECENTLY SHOWING 50-60 KT A FEW
THOUSAND FT OFF THE SURFACE. BASED ON THIS REASONING WILL LIKELY SEE
A CONTINUATION OF OUR MARINE HEADLINES AS THEY CURRENTLY ARE.
&&

.TIDES/BEACH EROSION...CURRENTLY TIDES ARE RUNNING ABOUT 1/4 TO 1/2
FT ABOVE PREDICTED LEVELS. SEEMS THERE IS A BETTER CHANCE OF SOME
MINOR COASTAL FLOODING AT CHS THAN AT SAV AS LEVELS REACH ABOUT 1 FT
ABOVE PREDICTED LEVELS WITH THE HIGH TIDE AROUND 1030-1130 PM THIS
EVE. RAINBAND NOW MOVING THRU THE SAV AREA COULD IMPACT THE CHS AREA
CLOSE TO THIS HIGH TIDE AND SHOULD THIS OCCUR WE MIGHT SEE LEVELS
REACHING 7.0-7.5 FT MLLW WITH THE EVE HIGH TIDE.

THESE CONDITIONS ALONG WITH THE STRONG ONSHORE WINDS AND ROUGH SURF
WILL LIKELY CONTINUE TO CAUSE BEACH EROSION THROUGH THE
NIGHT...ESPECIALLY NEAR THE TIME OF THIS UPCOMING HIGH TIDE.
&&

.AVIATION...STRONGEST WINDS TO AFFECT THE TERMINALS OVERNIGHT AS
OCNL BANDS OF RAIN CONTINUE TO IMPACT BOTH SITES. IMPROVEMENT WILL
SLOWLY OCCUR ON WED...AND CURRENT FCST MAY BE A LITTLE TOO
OPTIMISTIC IF ALBERTO IS SLOWER IN MOVING OUT TO THE NE.
HOWEVER...FEEL CONFIDENT THAT BY LATE IN THE FCST PERIOD BOTH SITES
WILL BE VFR.
