Did it verify
Not verified. The Iowa Environmental Mesonet's Cow found no qualifying storm report inside this severe thunderstorm warning while it was in force. That is not proof nothing happened: reports are thin where few people live.
Cow counts a report within 15 km of the polygon while the warning was in force: a tornado for a tornado warning; hail of 1 inch or more, a gust of 58 mph or more or wind damage for a severe thunderstorm warning; a flash flood report for a flash flood warning.
The nearest sounding before it
Charleston AFB, SC (KCHS), launched 12:00Z, 9.4 hours before the alert went out and 181 km from the middle of its area. This is the routine balloon launch nearest before it, the air the forecaster had in hand, not a measurement taken for the alert.

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 May 4, 3:50 PM EDT, 1 hour 34 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, May 4, 3:50 PM EDT, 1 hour 34 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE CHARLESTON SC 350 PM EDT FRI MAY 4 2007 .SHORT TERM /TONIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY NIGHT/... DIFFERENTIAL HEATING BOUNDARY DEVELOPED THIS AFTERNOON BETWEEN THE CLOUD COVERED LOCATIONS TO THE NORTH IMPACTED BY THE SURFACE WEDGE INLAND...AND AREAS TO THE SOUTH THAT WERE ABLE TO SCATTER OUT. FIRST STORMS OF THE AFTERNOON HAVE THUS DEVELOPED AROUND EFFINGHAM COUNTY AT THE INTERSECTION OF THIS DIFFERENTIAL HEATING BOUNDARY AND THE SEABREEZE FRONT. WIDESPREAD CUMULUS IN THE SOUTHEAST GEORGIA COUNTIES ARE EVIDENCE OF THE INSTABILITY PRESENT THAT MAY ASSIST IN SPINNING UP A FEW MORE ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS THROUGH THE AFTERNOON. SURFACE HIGH TO THE NORTHEAST WILL MAINTAIN A WEDGE EAST OF THE APPALACHIANS TONIGHT...WITH A WEAK FRONT DEPICTING THE SOUTHERN EXTENT OF THE WEDGE LINGERING ACROSS THE FORECAST AREA. EXPECT SHOWER CHANCES TO DIMINISH OVERNIGHT AS THE DAYTIME INSTABILITY AND SEABREEZE FORCING ARE NO LONGER INFLUENTIAL. THE SURFACE FRONTAL BOUNDARY RETREATS NORTHWARD EARLY SATURDAY...AS THE INLAND WEDGE ERODES AHEAD OF A DEVELOPING WAVE OF LOW PRESSURE TO THE WEST. AT THE SAME TIME...AN UPPER SHORTWAVE OVER THE OHIO VALLEY WILL MERGE WITH THE SOUTHERN EDGE OF A DEEP TROUGH ALOFT OVER THE NORTHEASTERN STATES. THE UPPER TROUGH THEN PUSHES SOUTHWARD AND PROVIDES ENOUGH UPPER LEVEL ENERGY TO ALLOW THE SURFACE WAVE TO INTENSIFY AS IT DROPS THROUGH THE CAROLINAS THROUGH SATURDAY NIGHT. HAVE ADVERTISED BETTER CHANCES FOR SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS SATURDAY AFTERNOON IN COMPARISON TO THIS AFTERNOON...DUE TO MORE CONDUCIVE UPPER DYNAMICS. BEST UPPER FORCING WILL INITIALLY BE TO THE NORTH. HAVE THUS MENTIONED CHANCE THUNDERSTORMS MAINLY NORTH OF SAVANNAH RIVER FOR THE AFTERNOON...WITH A SLIGHT CHANCE SOUTHERN COUNTIES. LIMITING FACTORS FOR ANY STRONG CONVECTION WITH BE THE PERSISTENT CLOUD COVER SUPPRESSING DAYTIME HEATING AND UNIMPRESSIVE WIND FIELDS ALOFT. GFS INDICATES THE CENTER OF THE SURFACE LOW MOVING OFFSHORE APPROXIMATELY AT THE NC/SC BORDER EARLY SUNDAY MORNING...WITH NAM BRINGING THE LOW OFFSHORE FURTHER TO THE NORTH. WILL SPREAD THE CHANCE POPS OVER THE ENTIRE CWA BY SATURDAY EVENING BEGINS TO CROSS THROUGH THE FORECAST AREA. HIGH TEMPERATURES SATURDAY WILL RANGE FROM THE UPPER 70S NORTH TO THE LOWER 80S IN THE SOUTHERN COUNTIES. OVERNIGHT CLOUDS BOTH TONIGHT AND SATURDAY NIGHT WILL MAINTAIN LOW TEMPERATURES IN THE 60S. && .LONG TERM /SUNDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/...THE UPR-LVL PATTERN WL REMAIN HIGHLY AMPLIFIED ACROSS THE U.S. THROUGH MUCH OF THE XTNDD PERIOD. A STRONG SHORTWAVE ROTATING CYCLONICALLY AROUND THE LARGE UPR LOW OVR THE CANADIAN MARITIMES WL HELP DRIVE A LARGE CANADIAN ANTICYCLONE S THROUGH THE CAROLINAS AND GA THIS WEEKEND. THE FNT IS XPCTD TO PUSH INTO THE SC ZONES BY LTE SUN MRNG AND CLR OUR GA ZONES ALONG THE ALTAMAHA RIVER DURING THE AFTN. GIVEN THE TIMING OF THE FNT...A LARGE TEMP DIFFERENTIAL WL LIKELY BE FOUND ACROSS THE CWFA WITH READINGS TOPPING OUT IN THE LWR-MID 70S ACROSS THE CHARLESTON TRI-COUNTY AREA WARMING TO THE LWR-MID 80S ALONG THE ALTAMAHA RIVER. THERE WL LIKELY BE ENOUGH LIFT AND LOW-LVL MOISTURE ALONG THE BNDRY TO SUPPORT SCATTERED SHOWERS WITH A FEW TSTMS ACROSS SE GA WHERE THE THERMODYNAMIC ENVIRONMENT WL BE MORE FAVORABLE FOR CONVECTION. PCPN WL QUICKLY END FROM N-S SUN AFTN AS MUCH DRIER AND COOLER AIR ADVECTS SOUTHWARD AS CYCLOGENESIS TAKES PLACE WELL OF THE SC COAST. DRY CONDITIONS WL DOMINATE FOR THE REMAINDER OF THE FCST PERIOD WITH HIGH PRES DOMINATING BOTH AT THE SFC AND ALOFT. TEMPS WL START THE WEEK OUT WELL BELOW NORMAL THEN SLOWLY WARM BACK ABOVE NORMAL BY WEEK/S END. LOWS MON MRNG COULD COME VERY CLOSE TO RECORD TERRITORY...ESP AT SAV AND CHL. && .MARINE... WINDS OVER THE MARINE ZONES WILL REMAIN EAST TO NORTHEAST TONIGHT...AS SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE CONTINUES TO RIDGE INLAND. THE WEAK BOUNDARY OVER THE COASTAL WATERS REPRESENTING THE SOUTHERN EXTENT OF THE INLAND WEDGE WILL RETREAT NORTHWARD ON SATURDAY...ALLOWING WINDS TO VEER TO A MORE SOUTHEAST DIRECTION BY THE AFTERNOON AND SOUTHERLY BY THE EVENING. A STRONG CDFNT WL PUSH S ACROSS THE WTRS ON SUN AS STRONG HIGH PRES BUILDS IN FROM THE N. STRONG CAA COUPLED WITH SST/S IN THE LWR-MID 70S WL SUPPORT DEEP MIXING PROFILES WITH WNDS AND SEAS LIKELY PUSHING WELL INTO THE SCA RANGE BY MID AFTN ACROSS THE SC WTRS AND LTE AFTN ACROSS THE GA WTRS. THERE IS EVEN A DISTINCT POSSIBILITY THAT GALES MAY OCCUR OVR THE GA OFFSHORE WTRS AS THE PRES GRADIENT BEGINS TO TIGHTEN WITH LOW PRES DVLPG OFF THE SC COAST. FCST SOUNDINGS SUPPORT AT LEAST FREQUENT GUSTS IN EXCESS OF 34 KT SO CONFIDENCE FOR GALE FORCE WNDS IS INCRG. PER COORD WITH OPC AND JAX WL CAP WNDS AT 25-30 KT FOR NOW HWVR WL UPDATE THE HAZARDOUS WEATHER OUTLOOK TO INCLUDE A POSSIBILITY FOR GALE CONDITIONS FOR AMZ374. THE DVLPG NE FETCH WL SUPPORT RAPIDLY BUILDING SEAS SUN-MON. XPCT COMBINED SEAS /THE COMBINATION OF WIND WAVE AND SWELL/ TO TOP OUT IN THE 5-8 FT RANGE WITHIN 20 NM AND 10-13 FT ACROSS THE GA OFFSHORE WTRS. ITS DOES APPEAR AS THOUGH AN EXTENDED SCA EVENT WL LIKELY UNFOLD THROUGH ERLY NXT. && .AVIATION /18Z-18Z/... LOWER CLOUDS HAVE SCATTERED THIS AFTERNOON WITH HIGH CLOUDS REMAINING OVER THE FORECAST AREA. A GENERALLY EAST ONSHORE FLOW WILL CONTINUE AT BOTH TERMINALS THROUGH THE TAF PERIOD...WITH WINDS DIMINISHING OVERNIGHT. SOMEWHAT UNCERTAIN ON THE EXTENT OF CIGS THIS EVENING AND HAVE MAINTAINED SCATTERED TO BROKEN VFR CIGS THROUGH THE EVENING. CONFIDENCE IS HIGHER THAT MVFR AND IFR CIG/VSBYS MAY DEVELOP AFTER MIDNIGHT. MAV AND MET GUIDANCE AGREE ON LOWERED CIGS AS SURFACE MOISTURE BECOMES TRAPPED UNDER THE INVERSION...WITH ONLY MET INDICATING REDUCED VSBYS. CONDITIONS EXPECTED TO IMPROVE SHORTLY AFTER SUNRISE AT BOTH KCHS AND KSAV AS CIGS LIFT TO VFR. && .LAKE WINDS...STRONG CAA AND WARM LAKE WATERS WL LIKELY SUPPORT LAKE WIND ADVISORY CRITERIA ON LAKE MOULTRIE BY LATE SUN AFTN OR SUN EVNG. WL INCLUDE A MENTION IN THE HAZARDOUS WEATHER OUTLOOK AT A LAKE WIND ADVISORY MAY EVENTUALLY BE NEEDED. && .HIGH SURF/RIP CURRENTS...THERE WL BE AN ENHANCED RISK FOR RIP CURRENTS SUN AND MON ALONG THE BEACHES OF SRN SC AND SE GA. IN ADDITION...BUILDING SEAS MAY SUPPORT HIGH SURF ADVISORY CONDITIONS ACROSS PORTIONS OF THE COAST...ESP FROM EDISTO BEACH S TO THE ALTAMAHA SOUND.
