$$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 Sep 14, 8:18 PM EDT, 2 hours 36 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Sep 14, 8:18 PM EDT, 2 hours 36 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE CHARLESTON SC 818 PM EDT FRI SEP 14 2007 .SYNOPSIS... A WEAK SURFACE FRONT WILL REMAIN N OF THE AREA TONIGHT AS THE REMNANTS OF HUMBERTO ACROSS ALABAMA MOVE E. A COLD FRONT WILL THEN PUSH THROUGH THE REGION LATE SATURDAY. STRONG HIGH PRESSURE WILL THEN BUILD IN FROM THE N THROUGH THE MIDDLE OF NEXT WEEK. && .NEAR TERM /THROUGH SATURDAY/... SHOWERS/THUNDERSTORMS INCREASED IN COVERAGE DURING THE EARLY EVENING... FEATURING AN ORGANIZED/INTENSIFYING BAND OF THUNDERSTORMS THAT WILL PUSH THROUGH MUCH OF THE FORECAST AREA FROM SW TO NE OVER THE NEXT COUPLE OF HOURS...PRODUCING STRONG WINDS AND VERY HEAVY RAINFALL. ANOTHER SQUALL LINE WAS PUSHING THROUGH E CENTRAL GA...BUT THIS LINE APPEARED TO BE BREAKING DOWN BEFORE PUSHING INTO WESTERN COUNTIES. AFTER THE INITIAL ROUND OF STRONGER CONVECTION THIS EVENING...EVEN WITH DIURNAL WEAKENING TRENDS...AT LEAST ISOLATED TO SCATTERED SHOWERS/THUNDERSTORMS WILL PERSIST OVERNIGHT...WITHIN WARM SECTOR/ALONG VARIOUS MESOSCALE BOUNDARIES... AHEAD OF AN APPROACHING SYNOPTIC SURFACE TROUGH. WILL UPDATE FORECASTS TO ADJUST POPS ACCORDINGLY. && .SHORT TERM /SATURDAY NIGHT/... RAIN CHANCES TAPER OFF FROM W TO E SAT/SAT NIGHT AS AN UPPER TROUGH SHOVES A COLD FRONT...NOW PUSHING THROUGH THE OH VLY AND MID-MS VLY...OFF THE COAST. LOOKS LIKE THERE WILL ENOUGH OF A LOW-LVL MOISTURE FEED OFF THE ATLC TO KEEP SOME CLOUDS AND SLGT RAIN CHANCES IN THE FCST THROUGH SAT NIGHT...ESPECIALLY E OF INTERSTATE 95. HIGHS SAT WILL TOP OUT IN THE UPPER 80S INLAND WITH MID 80S CLOSER TO THE COAST. LOWS SAT NIGHT WILL BE IN THE MID TO UPPER 60S...WITH LOWER 70S NEAR THE COAST. && .LONG TERM /SUNDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/... THE COOLEST WX OF THE SEASON IS STILL POISED TO MOVE INTO THE FCST AREA EARLY NEXT WEEK...IN THE WAKE OF A COLD FRONT THAT WILL MOVE S OF THE REGION ON SUN. STRONG SURFACE HIGH PRES WILL BUILD FROM THE N AND NE DURING THIS TIME...AS AN AMPLIFIED TROUGH ALOFT DEVELOPS OVER THE ERN STATES. THIS TROUGH MAY EVENTUALLY DEVELOP INTO A CUTOFF DURING THE MID AND LATE WEEK AS IT RETROGRADES W. THERE WILL BE GOOD COASTAL CONVERGENCE AND LIFT DURING THE PERIOD SUN THROUGH TUE. PWATS AND LOW LEVEL MOISTURE ARE ENOUGH TO SUPPORT AT LEAST SMALL POPS OVER THE ATLC AND NEARBY COASTAL COUNTIES...BUT SUBSIDENCE LOOKS TO PROVIDE GENERALLY RAIN FREE WX FURTHER INLAND. WITH THE AFOREMENTIONED TROUGH ALOFT DEVELOPING...A SURFACE REFLECTION IN THE FORM OF A COASTAL TROUGH WILL LIKELY AFFECT THE AREA WED THROUGH FRI...AS IT SHIFTS SLOWLY BUT STEADILY W AND INLAND. THUS WILL BEGIN TO INCREASE POPS FROM E TO W DURING THE MID AND LATE WEEK PERIOD. TEMPS WILL BE NEAR TO BELOW NORMAL THROUGHOUT THE WEEK. AND SOME LOCATIONS COULD EVEN BE LOOKING AT THEIR FIRST SUB 60 DEGREE READINGS SUN NIGHT AND/OR MON NIGHT. && .AVIATION /23Z FRIDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/... MOST ATTENTION WILL FOCUS ON EVENING CONVECTIVE TRENDS...STRONG THUNDERSTORMS THAT WILL IMPACT KSAV MAY ADVANCE NE INTO KCHS BEFORE MIDNIGHT...THUS EXPECT AMENDMENTS TO ADDRESS CONVECTIVE TRENDS. OVERNIGHT...COVERAGE OF SHOWERS/THUNDERSTORMS SHOULD DIMINISH...ALTHOUGH EITHER TERMINAL COULD RECEIVE ADDITIONAL PRECIP AT ANY TIME OVERNIGHT...AS UPSTREAM RADARS DEPICT SCATTERED TO NUMEROUS SHOWERS/THUNDERSTORMS. OTHERWISE...OUTSIDE ANY SHOWERS... PERIODS OF MVFR AND EVEN IFR CONDITIONS WILL REMAIN POSSIBLE AT BOTH SITES OVERNIGHT...WITH MVFR CIGS LINGERING THROUGH SAT MORNING AS THE INITIAL SURFACE TROUGH PASSES THROUGH. THEN...COVERAGE OF SHOWERS/THUNDERSTORMS SATURDAY SHOULD REMAIN LESS THAN THAT OF RECENT DAYS...THUS INCLUDED NO MENTION OF CBS IN TAFS FOR EITHER SITE SAT AFTERNOON. EXTENDED AVIATION OUTLOOK...VFR CONDITIONS WILL GENERALLY PREVAIL LATE SAT THROUGH WED. && .MARINE... WEAK PRES PATTERN CURRENTLY IN PLACE WITH SFC FNTL BNDRY N OF THE WATERS AND A STRONGER COLD FRONT WELL TO THE W. WINDS WILL REMAIN AOB 15 KT WITH SEAS AOB 3 FT THROUGH SAT NIGHT BEFORE THE COLD FRONTAL PASSAGE OCCURS SAT AFTN. CONDITIONS WILL THEN SLOWLY BEGIN TO DETERIORATE LATE SAT NIGHT AS HIGH PRES BEGINS TO MOVE IN FROM THE N. CONVECTION OCCURRING OVER THE WATERS MAY CREATE MIXED WIND DIRECTIONS WITH SPEEDS NEAR 20 KT...BUT NET CONDITIONS WILL BE HELD BELOW HEADLINE CRITERIA THROUGH SAT NIGHT. SUNDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY...COLD FRONT WILL BE S OF THE FCST AREA ON SUN...WITH STRONG HIGH PRES TO BUILD FROM THE N AND NE DURING THE EARLY AND MIDDLE PART OF THE WEEK. THERE ARE SOME INDICATIONS THAT A COASTAL TROUGH WILL EVENTUALLY DEVELOP DURING THE MID WEEK...AS IT SHIFTS SLOWLY W. AS WE HAVE BEEN EXPECTING FOR THE PAST SEVERAL DAYS...A STRONG PINCHING OF THE PRES GRADIENT WILL SET UP OVER THE COASTAL WATERS STARTING SUN AND CONTINUING THROUGH THE UPCOMING WEEK. AT THIS POINT IN TIME IT IS DIFFICULT TO PREDICT THE STRENGTH OF THE PINCHING...BUT WITH AT LEAST WEAK CAA IT IS SUFFICE TO SAY THE COASTAL WATERS WILL UNDOUBTEDLY REQUIRE AT LEAST SCA/S FOR NEXT WEEK. THERE ARE EVEN INDICATIONS THAT WE COULD BE LOOKING AT MARGINAL GALES OVER THE OUTER GA WATERS. FOR NOW WILL CAP WINDS NO HIGHER THAN 20 OR 25 KT DURING SUN THROUGH WED...BUT WILL INDICATE HIGHER GUSTS IN THE GRIDDED FCSTS. THE ENE FETCH FAVORS A SIGNIFICANT RISE IN SEAS. LOCAL GUIDANCE SUGGESTS THAT EVEN THE HIGH VALUES OF THE WNA GUIDANCE COULD BE A LITTLE UNDERDONE...SO MAY ADD A FOOT OR SO TO THE WNA VALUES. THIS POINTS TOWARD AT LEAST 6 TO 8 FT WITHIN 20 NM OF THE COAST...AND UP TO DOUBLE DIGIT VALUES FURTHER OFFSHORE. HIGH SURF...WILL KEEP WATCH ON HOW HIGH THE SEAS BUILD NEXT WEEK...BUT WITH THE EXPECTED PINCHED GRADIENT AND THE VERY FAVORABLE AND LONG ENE FETCH...CONDITIONS LOOK GOOD FOR A HIGH SURF ADVISORY AT SOME POINT NEXT WEEK. && .TIDES/COASTAL FLOODING... WE ARE LOOKING AT A PROLONGED PERIOD OF STRONG ENE WINDS NEXT WEEK...WITH THE POTENTIAL FOR A SIGNIFICANT COASTAL EVENT. WHILE THERE IS ALWAYS A CONCERN FOR COASTAL FLOODING DURING THIS TYPE OF SITUATION...THANKFULLY THE PREDICTED TIDE LEVELS ARE SOME 1 TO 2 FT BELOW ANY VALUES WHERE EVEN SHALLOW COASTAL FLOODING BEGINS. HOWEVER...WITH A PROLONGED PERIOD OF STRONG ONSHORE WINDS...OUR DEPARTURES CERTAINLY COULD START TO REACH THESE LEVELS. THUS THERE REMAINS A RISK FOR AT LEAST SHALLOW COASTAL FLOODING...POTENTIALLY WORSE IF WE EXPERIENCE DEPENDING UPON THE AMOUNT OF RAINFALL. OF EQUAL OR GREATER CONCERN IS THE RISK FOR BEACH EROSION. WE ARE MOST CERTAINLY LOOKING FOR AT LEAST AT MODERATE BEACH EROSION THROUGHOUT THE WEEK. DEPENDING UPON THE STRENGTH OF THE PINCHING AND WHERE THE TIGHTEST GRADIENT SETS UP...WE COULD BE LOOKING AT LOCALIZED SEVERE BEACH EROSION. RIP CURRENTS...DESPITE THE ABSENCE OF ANY ASTRONOMICAL INFLUENCES...BASED JUST ON THE STRENGTH OF THE ONSHORE WINDS WE ARE LOOKING FOR AN ELEVATED RISK OF RIP CURRENTS STARTING SUN. WILL ADDRESS ALL THESE CONCERNS IN THE HWO AND ALSO IN A COASTAL HAZARD MESSAGE LATER THIS AFTN. && .CHS WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... GA...NONE. SC...NONE. MARINE...NONE. &&
