The archived warnings, watches and discussions in force at that minute are drawn over the scan, this one among them.

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

Jacksonville, FL (KJAX), launched 12:00Z, 8.3 hours before the alert went out and 139 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.

Area forecast discussion, Jun 19, 3:47 PM EDT, 28 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE CHARLESTON SC
347 PM EDT THU JUN 19 2008

.SYNOPSIS...
A WEAK PRES PATTERN WILL PERSIST ACROSS THE REGION THROUGH
FRIDAY. A STORM SYSTEM WILL PUSH INTO THE AREA OVER THE WEEKEND.
HIGH PRES WILL BUILD OVER THE REGION NEXT WEEK.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...
A TROUGH OF LOW PRESSURE INLAND AND THE DEVELOPING SEA BREEZE ARE
COMBINING TO CAUSE ISOLATED SHOWERS/THUNDERSTORMS THIS
AFTERNOON...MAINLY FROM COASTAL GA UP ALONG I-95 INTO SC. SOME OF
THE STORMS HAVE EVEN BECOME SEVERE WITH LARGE HAIL AND DAMAGING
WINDS DUE TO IMPRESSIVE INSTABILITY AND UNUSUALLY COOL TEMPS ALOFT/LOW
WET BULB ZERO HEIGHTS. THIS ACTIVITY SHOULD DIMINISH AFTER SUNSET
DUE TO INSOLATION LOSS. WE COULD SEE SOME FOG AGAIN LATE...ESPECIALLY
IF THE SHOWERS/THUNDERSTORM COVERAGE BECOMES MORE WIDESPREAD THAN
CURRENTLY ANTICIPATED. LOWS WILL GENERALLY BE IN THE MID/UPPER
60S...EXCEPT LOW/MID 70S NEAR THE COAST.

&&

.SHORT TERM /FRIDAY THROUGH FRIDAY NIGHT/...
THE LINGERING LOW PRESSURE TROUGH AND SEA BREEZE WILL AGAIN CREATE
AN ENVIRONMENT FAVORABLE FOR MORE SHOWERS/THUNDERSTORMS
FRI...WHICH MAY LINGER INTO FRI NIGHT. HIGHS FRI WILL TOP OUT
AROUND 90 DEGREES MOST LOCALES WITH LOWS FRI NIGHT AROUND 70 MOST
LOCALES.

&&

.LONG TERM /SATURDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/...
BROAD UPPER LEVEL TROUGH WILL AMPLIFY OVER THE EASTERN HALF OF THE
COUNTRY ON SATURDAY...WITH NUMEROUS AREAS OF SHORTWAVE ENERGY
ROUNDING THE BASE OF THE TROUGH AND MOVING INTO THE REGION THROUGH
THE WEEKEND. DEEP LAYER MOISTURE WILL THUS INCREASE ACROSS THE
EAST COAST...WHILE WEAK SURFACE TROUGHING DEVELOPS INLAND. HAVE
MAINTAINED A SOLID CHANCE OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS FOR BOTH
SATURDAY AND SUNDAY.

THE MAJORITY OF THE SHORTWAVE ENERGY MOVES OFFSHORE SUNDAY
NIGHT...BUT UPPER LEVEL TROUGHING WILL LINGER OVER THE REGION
EARLY IN THE WEEK. RAIN CHANCES WILL DECREASE FROM WEST TO EAST
SUNDAY NIGHT...WITH JUST A SLIGHT CHANCE OF SEABREEZE-INDUCED
CONVECTION MONDAY AFTERNOON. BOTH GFS AND ECMWF INDICATE ANOTHER
STRONG SHORTWAVE CROSSING THE EAST COAST MONDAY NIGHT...AND HAVE
THUS INDICATED A SLIGHT CHANCE OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS
CONTINUING OVERNIGHT FOR MAINLY THE SOUTH CAROLINA COUNTIES.

HIGH PRESSURE AND UPPER LEVEL RIDGING WILL THEN BUILD BACK INTO
THE AREA FOR MID WEEK. REDUCED SLIGHT CHANCE POPS TO JUST ALONG
THE SEABREEZE FOR TUESDAY AFTERNOON AND KEPT CONDITIONS RAIN FREE
WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON.

HIGH TEMPERATURES WILL BE IN THE UPPER 80S OVER THE
WEEKEND...WARMING BACK INTO THE LOWER TO MID 90S NEXT WEEK.

&&

.AVIATION /20Z THURSDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...
VFR CONDS TO PREVAIL THROUGH THE PERIOD AT BOTH TERMS OUTSIDE OF
ANY ISO SH/TSTMS THIS AFTN/EVE AND FOG LATE TONIGHT. ALREADY
AMENDED THE KSAV TAF FOR THE TSTM WHICH DEVELOPED NEARBY...AND IS
PUSHING S AND E OF THE TERM. WILL CONTINUE TO MONITOR RADAR TRENDS
FOR POSSIBLE FUTURE AMENDMENTS. OTHERWISE...PLENTY OF LOW-LEVEL
MOISTURE AND LIGHT WINDS WILL ALLOW FOG TO RE-DEVELOP AGAIN LATE
TONIGHT.

EXTENDED AVIATION OUTLOOK...OCCASIONAL MVFR OR LOWER CONDITIONS
MAY DEVELOP IN SHOWERS/THUNDERSTORMS FRI THROUGH SUN.

&&

.MARINE...
TONIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY NIGHT...CONDITIONS WILL REMAIN WELL BELOW
SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY THRESHOLDS THROUGH TONIGHT. S/SE WINDS ARE
EXPECTED TONIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY NIGHT...REMAINING MOSTLY AOB 15
KT. SEAS WILL REMAIN AOB 3 FT THROUGH THE PERIOD.

SATURDAY THROUGH TUESDAY...A STORM SYSTEM WILL TRACK THROUGH THE
SOUTHEAST UNITED STATES SATURDAY AND SUNDAY...WITH HIGH PRESSURE
BUILDING BACK INTO THE AREA FOR EARLY NEXT WEEK. WINDS DIRECTIONS
WILL MAINTAIN A SOUTHERLY COMPONENT FOR THE MAJORITY OF THE
EXTENDED PERIOD...WITH WINDS AND SEAS EXPECTED TO REMAIN BELOW
SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY THRESHOLDS THROUGH THE MIDDLE OF NEXT WEEK.
