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

Charleston AFB, SC (KCHS), launched 12:00Z, 11.7 hours before the alert went out and 146 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 Jun 3, 7:37 PM EDT, 3 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Jun 3, 7:37 PM EDT, 3 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE CHARLESTON SC
737 PM EDT FRI JUN 3 2011

.SYNOPSIS...
A WEAK BACKDOOR FRONT WILL DRIFT SOUTH INTO THE FORECAST AREA THIS
EVENING AND EVENTUALLY DISSIPATE TONIGHT. HIGH PRESSURE WILL RETURN
ACROSS THE AREA SATURDAY INTO SUNDAY. A COLD FRONT WILL MOVE
THROUGH THE AREA SUNDAY NIGHT...FOLLOWED BY HIGH PRESSURE THROUGH
MUCH OF NEXT WEEK.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM SATURDAY MORNING/...
MADE ADJUSTMENTS TO THE GRIDS AND ZONES THROUGH 11 PM TO ACCOUNT
FOR CURRENT CONVECTIVE TRENDS. I HAVE INCREASED POPS SIGNIFICANTLY
FOR INTERIOR GEORGIA COUNTIES FOLLOWING CURRENT CONVECTION AS WELL
AS THE LOCAL 4KM WRF...WHICH HAS BEEN FAR SUPERIOR TO OTHER SHORT
TERM MODELS IN RECENT DAYS. ACTIVITY SHOULD DIMINISH BY MIDNIGHT.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 AM SATURDAY MORNING THROUGH MONDAY/...
SATURDAY...THE REMNANTS OF THE COLD FRONT WILL STILL LIE NEAR THE
FORECAST AREA...ALTHOUGH IN A VERY ILL-DEFINED STATE...WITH HIGH
PRESSURE TO BUILD IN ITS WAKE FROM THE NORTH. MEANWHILE...DEEP
LAYERED RIDGING ALOFT WILL SETTLE INTO THE AREA WITH THE MEAN
1000-500 MB RIDGE AXIS TO ALIGN ITSELF OVER THE LOCAL AREA. HEIGHTS
WILL BUILD A LITTLE FURTHER FROM TODAY...AND GIVEN THAT THE DEEPEST
MOISTURE WILL PUSH OFF TO THE SOUTH AND SW AND NVA WILL MOVE IN
ALOFT...RAIN CHANCES DO NOT LOOK PROMISING. HOWEVER...GIVEN THE
DIFFUSE FRONT NEARBY ACROSS SOUTHERN GA AND THE SEA BREEZE
BOUNDARY...WE WILL CARRY POPS AS HIGH AS 14 PERCENT...LEAVING THE
OPTION OPEN TO GO WITH SLIGHT CHANCE POPS WITH THE EARLY MORNING
FORECAST. THE SEA BREEZE WILL GET AN EARLY START WITH AN EAST TO SE
BOUNDARY LAYER FLOW...AND THAT ALONG WITH SLIGHTLY LOWER 850 MB AND
1000-850 MB THICKNESS WILL PRODUCE TEMPS THAT ARE NOT QUITE AS HOT
AS THEY WERE TODAY. LOWER AND MID 80S WILL SUFFICE AT THE
BEACHES...CLOSER TO 90 INLAND FROM US-17 TO I-95...BUT AS HIGH AS
THE LOWER AND MID 90S ELSEWHERE.

SUNDAY...THE SURFACE AND RIDGING ALOFT WILL BEGIN TO SHIFT SOUTHWARD
IN ADVANCE OF THE NEXT COLD FRONT AND AN ASSOCIATED SHORT WAVE
ALOFT. WHILE WE DO SEE LOWER HEIGHTS...THE BEST FORCING WILL STAY TO
OUR NORTH AND NW THROUGH LATE DAY OR MORE LIKELY SUNDAY NIGHT. WE
WILL CARRY A RAIN FREE FORECAST THROUGH 21Z WITH CONVECTIVE TEMPS IN
THE LOWER AND MID 90S...THEN SLIGHT CHANCE POPS INTO SUNDAY NIGHT.
THESE PROBABILITIES THOUGH MAY NEED TO BE ADJUSTED UPWARDS AT A
LATER TIME IF AN ORGANIZED MCS IS ABLE TO DEVELOP WITH THE SHORT
WAVE. SOME OF THE CONVECTIVE PARAMETERS DO SUGGEST THE POSSIBILITY
OF SOME STRONG OR EVEN SEVERE STORMS IF THAT ORGANIZATION OCCURS.
THE HEAT WILL BE EVEN GREATER AGAIN DESPITE THE LOWER HEIGHTS
ALOFT...AS COMPRESSIONAL HEATING DEVELOPS AHEAD OF THE FRONT AND OUR
850 MB TEMPS AND LOW LEVEL THICKNESS VALUES INCREASE. THAT ALONG
WITH A WEST TO NW FLOW THROUGHOUT MUCH OF THE VERTICAL AND THE
CONTINUED VERY DRY GROUNDS DUE TO OUR LACK OF RAINFALL WILL ALLOW
FOR TEMPS TO REACH THE MID AND UPPER 90S JUST ABOUT EVERYWHERE. EVEN
THE BEACHES BEFORE THE RESULTANT SEA BREEZE WILL SEE TEMPS 85-90.
COMBINED WITH DEW POINTS IN THE MID AND UPPER 60S WILL GENERATE HEAT
INDICES OF 100-103 DEGREES IN THE AFTERNOON.

MONDAY...CONVECTION CHANCES WILL DROP AGAIN IN WAKE OF THE DEPARTING
SHORT WAVE ALOFT. BUT WITH THE REMNANTS OF THE FRONT OVER OR NEAR
THE AREA...THE SEA BREEZE AND SOME INDICATIONS OF THE NOSE OF THE
UPPER LEVEL JET...WE COULD SEE A FEW SHOWERS AND T-STORMS DEVELOPING
ACROSS THE AREA. CONFIDENCE/PROBABILITIES THOUGH ARE NO HIGHER THAN
14 PERCENT AT THIS TIME. TEMPS WILL BE A FEW DEGREES LOWER THAN ON
SUNDAY WITH MORE OF AN ONSHORE BOUNDARY LAYER FLOW AND SLIGHTLY
LOWER 850 MB TEMPS AND LOW LEVEL THICKNESS VALUES TO OCCUR. LOOKING
FOR LOWER AND MIDDLE 80S AT THE COAST...LOWER AND MIDDLE 90S MOST
ELSEWHERE...BUT UPPER 90S WEST OF A LINE FROM HAMPTON TO NEWINGTON
AND GLENNVILLE. HEAT INDICES WILL AGAIN CRACK 100 DEGREES IN MANY
LOCATIONS.

&&

.LONG TERM /MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY/...
HIGH PRESSURE IS EXPECTED TO REMAIN THE DOMINANT WEATHER FEATURE
THROUGH THE LONG TERM PERIODS...RESULTING IN MINIMAL RAIN CHANCES
AND ABOVE NORMAL TEMPERATURES. WILL KEEP POPS LIMITED TO SLIGHT
CHANCE OR LESS THROUGH THE PERIOD.

&&

.AVIATION /00Z SATURDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
KCHS...THE BOUNDARY IS WELL THROUGH CHS...SO THE CHANCE OF RAIN FOR THE
REMAINDER OF THE NIGHT IS NEAR NIL. DEW POINTS HAVE DROPPED A BIT A
SLIGHTLY DRIER AIR MOVES IN. VFR CONDITIONS EXPECTED THROUGH
SATURDAY AFTERNOON...ALTHOUGH WOULD NOT BE SHOCKED TO SEE A BRIEF
PERIOD OF MVFR NEAR SUNRISE.

KSAV...EVENING FORECAST IS COMPLICATED BY UPSTREAM CONVECTION THAT
HAS FIRED IN THE LAST COUPLE OF HOURS. HOWEVER...WITH SEA BREEZE
WELL INLAND...I THINK THE MAJORITY OF CONVECTION SHOULD STAY TO THE
WEST OF THE TERMINAL. I PUT IN A VCTS FOR A FEW HOURS IN CASE A
CELL GETS CLOSE AND WILL WATCH RADAR TRENDS CLOSELY IN CASE AN
AMENDMENT IS NEEDED. SIMILAR TO CHS...IT SHOULD OTHERWISE BE
VFR...OR POSSIBLY A PERIOD OF MVFR NEAR SUNRISE SATURDAY MORNING.

EXTENDED AVIATION OUTLOOK...WE COULD SEE SOME REDUCED VISIBILITIES
IN ISOLATED SHOWERS/THUNDERSTORMS LATE SUNDAY AFTERNOON AND SUNDAY
NIGHT AS A COLD FRONT MOVES THROUGH THE AREA. OTHERWISE...VFR
CONDITIONS SHOULD PREVAIL.

&&

.MARINE...
A WEAK FRONT WILL DESCEND THROUGH THE WATERS OVERNIGHT...AND
EXPECT SOUTHERLY FLOW THIS AFTERNOON TO STEADILY BACK TO THE
NORTHEAST BY DAYBREAK SATURDAY. A SUBTLE NORTHEAST TO EAST SURGE
WILL AFFECT THE WATERS SATURDAY IN THE WAKE OF THE DIFFUSE COLD
FRONT...BUT EVEN WITH THE SEA BREEZE CIRCULATIONS DO NOT EXPECT
WIND SPEEDS TO EXCEED 15 KT...WITH SEAS NO HIGHER THAN 3 FEET.

THERE WILL BE SOME TIGHTENING OF THE PRESSURE GRADIENT AHEAD OF A
COLD FRONT LATER SUNDAY...BUT AGAIN NOTHING MORE THAN 15 KT WINDS
AND 3 FEET SEAS TO OCCUR. MARINERS ARE ALERTED TO THE POSSIBILITY OF
SOME STRONG T-STORMS POSSIBLY IMPACTING THE WATERS LATE SUNDAY INTO
SUNDAY NIGHT IN ASSOCIATION WITH AN APPROACHING COLD FRONT.

HIGH PRESSURE WILL THEN PREVAIL ACROSS THE SC WATERS MONDAY...WITH
THE REMAINS OF THE FRONT ACROSS THE GA WATERS. WINDS AND SEAS THOUGH
WILL BE WELL BELOW ANY SCA CRITERIA.

TUESDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY...HIGH PRESSURE WILL PREVAIL OVER THE
WATERS THROUGH MID WEEK. OVERALL...IT LOOKS LIKE A FAIRLY TRANQUIL
PERIOD WITH WINDS AND SEAS BELOW ADVISORY LEVELS.

&&

.CHS WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
GA...NONE.
SC...NONE.
MARINE...NONE.
