What forecasters said that day

The local office's own words before this severe thunderstorm 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 severe thunderstorm warning went out at Aug 11, 1:37 PM EDT, 26 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Aug 11, 1:37 PM EDT, 26 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE CHARLESTON SC
137 PM EDT SAT AUG 11 2007

.SYNOPSIS...
AN UPPER LEVEL RIDGE OF HIGH PRES WILL REMAIN W OF THE AREA
THROUGH NEXT WEEK. A COLD FRONT WILL MOVE THROUGH THE AREA TNGT
WITH WEAK HIGH PRES RETURNING FOR NEXT WEEK.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...
STRONG CONVECTION CONTINUES ACROSS THE SOUTHERN SC/NORTHERN GA
COASTAL WATERS THIS MORNING...BUT WILL STAY OFFSHORE AS IT DRIFTS
SOUTH-SOUTHEAST THROUGH MIDDAY. THE OUTFLOW BOUNDARY AND CLOUD
COVER PRODUCED BY THE CONVECTION HAS KEPT TEMPERATURES/DEWPOINTS
LOWER AT KCHS AND KNBC THAN THE SAME TIME YESTERDAY...HOWEVER MOST
OTHER LOCATIONS ARE SHOWING TEMPERATURES/DEWPOINTS SIMILAR IF NOT
SLIGHTLY HIGHER THAN THE SAME TIME YESTERDAY. EXCESSIVE HEAT
CRITERIA SHOULD BE MET ACROSS THE FORECAST AREA...WITH HEAT INDEX
VALUES FROM 114 TO 121...EVEN IN THE CHARLESTON/BEAUFORT AREA WHERE THE
ATMOSPHERE SHOULD HAVE PLENTY OF TIME TO RECOVER. IN ADDITION TO
THE EXCESSIVE HEAT...HAZY AND HUMID CONDITIONS WILL PERSIST.

SCATTERED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ARE EXPECTED TO DEVELOP LATE
THIS AFTERNOON INTO THIS EVENING. FOCUS WILL BE ALONG ANY
LINGERING OUTFLOW BOUNDARIES...THE SEA BREEZE AND A COLD FRONT
THAT WILL DROP ACROSS THE AREA TONIGHT. THE 4 KM NSSL WRF AND
NAM12 BOTH INDICATE BETTER CHANCES ACROSS SOUTHEAST GA THIS
AFTERNOON...THEN CHANCES INCREASING MORE ACROSS SOUTHEAST SC
TOWARD THIS EVENING AHEAD OF THE APPROACHING FRONT. INSTABILITY
WILL BE ABUNDANT ONCE AGAIN TODAY WITH DEWPOINTS GENERALLY IN THE MID TO
UPPER 70S ACROSS THE AREA. CAPE VALUES WILL LIKELY EXCEED 4000 J/KG
AND MID LEVEL DRY AIR EVIDENT IN WATER VAPOR IMAGERY WILL ENHANCE
THE DAMAGING WIND POTENTIAL WITH THE STRONGEST STORMS.

RIP CURRENTS...THERE WILL BE A MODERATE RISK FOR RIP CURRENTS AT THE
BEACHES THROUGH THIS EVENING.

&&

.SHORT TERM /SUNDAY THROUGH SUNDAY NIGHT/...
THE DECAYING CDFNT WL DSPT JUST S OF THE FCST AREA ON SUN. NOT
MUCH OF AN AIRMASS CHANGE WL OCCUR BEHIND THE FNT SO THERE WL BE
ENOUGH LOW-LVL MOISTURE AND INSTABILITY IN PLACE TO SUPPORT ISOLD
TO SCT SHOWERS AND TSTMS SUN AFTN/EVNG. THE BEST COVERAGE WL
LIKELY BE ACROSS SE GA CLOSER TO THE FNT. HIGHS WL GENERALLY BE
IN THE LWR-MID 90S UNDER PARTLY CLOUDY SKIES. OUR LATEST TEMP AND
DEWPTS GRIDS YIELD HEAT INDICES OF 105-108 ACROSS MUCH OF SE GA
DURING THE AFTN SO A HEAT ADVISORY MAY VERY WELL BE NEEDED. ATTM
WE THINK HEAT INDICES WL FALL SHORT OF CRITERIA /105 FOR 2 HRS OR
MORE/ ACROSS SE SC. LOWS SUN NGT WL RANGE FROM THE LWR 70S INLAND
TO THE UPR 70S ALONG THE COAST.

&&

.LONG TERM /MONDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/...
ONSHORE FLOW SETS UP IN WAKE OF THE FRONT EARLY IN THE
WEEK...WHICH WL ALLOW FOR A NOTABLE DECREASE IN DAYTIME TEMPS
COMPARED TO PREVIOUS DAY. ACTUALLY WE ARE EVEN LOOKING FOR SOME
READINGS ONLY REACHING NEAR 90 ALONG THE COASTAL AREAS WITH THIS
ONSHORE FETCH AND THE SEA BREEZE SUN AND MON...WHILE INLAND
LOCATIONS LOOK TO BE SEVERAL DEGREES LOWER THAN OF LATE...BUT
STILL WELL INTO THE 90S. TEMPS TO STILL REMAIN ABOVE CLIMATOLOGICAL
LEVELS THE SECOND PART OF THE WEEK. DESPITE THE DECREASE IN
TEMPS...DEWPTS WITH THE ONSHORE FLOW WILL REMAIN WELL INTO THE
70S. AND ALTHOUGH WE ARE CURRENTLY NOT LOOKING AT ANY EXCESSIVE
HEAT WARNINGS...WE WILL LIKELY NEED HEAT ADVISORIES FOR AT LEAST
PARTS OF THE FCST AREA THROUGHOUT THE WEEK.

XPCT DRY WX TO PREVAIL FOR MON BUT IT LOOKS LIKE THE SEA BREEZE IS
THE MAIN FOCUS FOR CONVECTION TUE AND WED...WITH NO MORE THAN
SLIGHT CHANCE POPS. GRADUALLY INCREASED POPS BACK INTO THE
SCATTERED RANGE LATER IN THE WEEK WITH MORE TROUGHINESS ALOFT.

&&

.AVIATION /18Z SATURDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/...
MAINLY VFR CONDITIONS AT BOTH TERMINALS WITH BRIEF PERIODS OF
MVFR VSBYS DUE TO HAZE...ESPECIALLY AT KSAV. EXPECT SCATTERED
SHOWERS/THUNDERSTORMS TO DEVELOP THIS AFTERNOON INTO THE EVENING
THUS HAVE MENTION OF CB BEGINNING AROUND 21/22Z AT BOTH SITES.
ALSO ADDED IN VCSH AT 22Z TO SAVANNAH AS THE ATMOSPHERE SEEMS A
BIT MORE CONDUCIVE TO SHOWER ACTIVITY THERE THAN IN CHARLESTON.

EXTENDED AVIATION OUTLOOK...
MAINLY VFR CONDS ARE EXPECTED SUN THROUGH THU...WITH A CHANCE OF
SEEING VSBYS DROP TO MVFR OR IFR LEVELS DURING THE EARLY MRNG HRS
AND DURING AFTN/EVE CONVECTION.

&&

.MARINE...
STRONG CONVECTION CONTINUES OFF THE SC/GA COAST THIS
MORNING...MAINLY FROM 20 NM OUT...WITH OUTFLOW PRODUCING WIND
GUSTS 25-30 KT. ELSEWHERE...A BREEZY SOUTHERLY FLOW WILL REQUIRE
THE SMALL CRAFT SHOULD EXERCISE CAUTION HEADLINE TO REMAIN IN
PLACE FOR ALL WATERS. WIND SPEEDS SHOULD DIMINISH SLIGHTLY EARLY THIS
AFTERNOON...THEN INCREASE NEARSHORE WITH THE DEVELOPING SEA
BREEZE LATE IN THE DAY. A COLD FRONT WILL DROP SOUTH ACROSS THE
WATERS TONIGHT.

FROPA FOR THE WATERS LOOKS TO BE EARLY TO MID MRNG SUN...WHICH
WILL SHIFT WINDS FROM SWLY TO NELY. HOWEVER...A RATHER BENIGN PRES
PATTERN BEHIND THE FRONT WILL LEAD TO WIND SPEEDS GENERALLY AOB 15
KT AND SEAS AOB 4 FT SO FAIRLY TRANQUIL MARINE CONDS CAN BE
EXPECTED FOR THE FIRST HALF OF NEXT WEEK. HIGH PRES THEN REGAINS
CONTROL DURING THE MIDDLE AND LATE PORTIONS OF THE WEEK...HELPING
MAINTAIN FAVORABLE CONDS OVER THE WATERS.
