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 6, 2:18 PM EDT, 2 hours 6 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Jun 6, 2:18 PM EDT, 2 hours 6 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE CHARLESTON SC
218 PM EDT MON JUN 6 2011

.SYNOPSIS...
A WEAK FRONT WILL CONTINUE TO SHIFT SOUTH OF THE AREA
TODAY...AS HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS IN FROM THE NORTH. THE HIGH WILL
THEN PREVAIL THROUGH FRIDAY. A COLD FRONT MAY MOVE INTO THE REGION
OVER THE WEEKEND OR EARLY NEXT WEEK.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 PM THIS EVENING/...
AREAS OF SMOKE...WHICH HAVE REDUCED VISIBILITIES TO 3-5 MILES AT
TIMES...APPEARS TO BE COMING FROM A WILDFIRE IN NORTHEAST FLORIDA.
TRAJECTORIES ARE TAKING THE SMOKE OFF THE ATLANTIC COAST OF
FLORIDA...THEN BRINGING IT BACK ONSHORE ACROSS PARTS OF SOUTHEAST
SOUTH CAROLINA AND SOUTHEAST GEORGIA WITH THE LOW LEVEL ONSHORE
FLOW. THE SOUTH CAROLINA FORESTRY COMMISSION AND GEORGIA FORESTRY
COMMISSION ARE REPORTING NO WILDFIRES IN THE LOCAL AREA.

MIDDAY WATER VAPOR IMAGERY SHOWS SHORT WAVE ENERGY DIVING SOUTH
ACROSS CENTRAL GEORGIA AND FAR SOUTHERN SOUTH CAROLINA ALONG THE
EASTERN PERIPHERY OF A STRONG RIDGE CENTERED OVER THE SOUTHERN
PLAINS. AT THE SURFACE...WEAK LOW PRESSURE AND AN ASSOCIATED FRONT
WILL CONTINUE TO DROP SOUTH ACROSS FAR SOUTHERN GEORGIA.

WHILE DRIER AIR WILL CONTINUE TO WORK IN FROM THE NORTH AS HIGH
PRESSURE BUILDS INTO THE REGION...DEEPER MOISTURE WILL LINGER
ACROSS FAR SOUTHERN SOUTH CAROLINA AND SOUTHERN GEORGIA. THE
MOISTURE...COMBINED WITH ENHANCED LOW LEVEL CONVERGENCE DUE TO THE
PROXIMITY OF THE WEAK SURFACE LOW AND LIFT PROVIDED BY THE PASSING
SHORT WAVE COULD SUPPORT THE DEVELOPMENT OF ISOLATED TO SCATTERED
SHOWERS DURING THE MID-LATE AFTERNOON HOURS. PROBABILITIES APPEAR
TO BE HIGHEST SOUTH OF THE I-16 CORRIDOR...BUT COULD NOT RULE OUT
SOME ISOLATED CONVECTION AS FAR NORTH AS FAR SOUTHERN SOUTH CAROLINA.

A NORTHEAST TO EAST WIND COMPONENT WILL BE IN PLACE TODAY IN WAKE
OF THE DEPARTING FRONT. THIS WILL RESULT IN A SOMEWHAT COOLER
DAY...BUT TEMPERATURES WILL STILL BE WELL ABOVE NORMAL WITH HIGHS
FORECAST TO BE IN THE LOW TO MID 90S ACROSS SOUTHEAST SOUTH
CAROLINA AND MID TO UPPER 90S ACROSS SOUTHEAST GEORGIA AWAY FROM
THE COAST.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 PM THIS EVENING THROUGH THURSDAY/...
ANY CONVECTION SHOULD PRESS S OF THE ALTAMAHA BY EARLY THIS
EVENING WITH QUIET WEATHER EXPECTED OVERNIGHT WITH LOWS FROM THE
UPPER 60S INLAND TO THE LOWER 70S COAST UNDER MAINLY CLEAR SKIES.

TUESDAY THROUGH THURSDAY...WE THINK CONVECTION WILL MOVE S OF OUR
GEORGIA FORECAST AREA EARLY THIS EVENING AND MAINLY QUIET WEATHER
IS EXPECTED TONIGHT WITH LOWS UPPER 60S INLAND TO LOWER 70S COAST.

DEEP LAYER RIDGING WILL HOLD IN PLACE OVER THE SOUTHEAST STATES
THROUGH THE SHORT TERM PERIODS...GREATLY LIMITING CONVECTIVE
POTENTIAL ACROSS THE AREA. AS A RESULT...WILL CONTINUE WITH A RAIN
FREE FORECAST THROUGH THE PERIOD. AWAY FROM THE COAST...HIGH
TEMPERATURES ARE GENERALLY EXPECTED TO TOP OUT IN THE LOW TO MID
90S...WITH OVERNIGHT LOWS BETWEEN 65 AND 70 DEGREES.

&&

.LONG TERM /THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY/...
LATEST MODEL SOLUTIONS CONTINUE TO SUGGEST THAT THE DEEP LAYER RIDGE
WILL HOLD IN PLACE THROUGH LATE IN THE WEEK BEFORE BREAKING DOWN
OVER THE WEEKEND AND INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK AS SHEARED OUT SHORTWAVE
ENERGY LIFTS NORTHEASTWARD OUT OF THE GULF OF MEXICO. THE MODELS
ALSO GENERALLY SHOW AND INCREASE IN DEEP MOISTURE IN ASSOCIATION
WITH THE DEEP CONVECTION CURRENTLY OVER THE NORTH-CENTRAL CARIBBEAN
OVER THE UPCOMING WEEKEND AND INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK. OVERALL...IT
CONTINUES TO LOOK LIKE A FAIRLY DRY LONG TERM PERIOD...SO WILL LIMIT
RAIN PROBABILITIES TO 20 PERCENT OR LESS. TEMPERATURES ARE EXPECTED
TO CONTINUE TO RUN ABOVE CLIMATOLOGY.

&&

.AVIATION /18Z MONDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/...
MAINLY VFR CONDITIONS WILL CONTINUE THROUGH 18Z TUESDAY. HAVE
INCLUDED CB IN THE KSAV TAF THROUGH 22Z DUE TO ISOLATED/SCATTERED
CONVECTION OVER SOUTHEAST GEORGIA. CANNOT RULE OUT PATCHY LATE
NIGHT/EARLY MORNING MVFR FOG/HAZE AND/OR LOW STRATUS FROM 09Z-13Z...
MAINLY AT KSAV WHERE BOUNDARY LAYER MOISTURE WILL BE GREATEST.
HOWEVER...OUR CONFIDENCE IS LOW AT THIS TIME THUS MAINTAINED VFR
CONDITIONS IN THE TAF.

EXTENDED AVIATION OUTLOOK...PATCHY MVFR VSBYS POSSIBLE AROUND
DAYBREAK THROUGH MID WEEK...OTHERWISE MAINLY VFR CONDITIONS
WILL PREVAIL.

&&

.MARINE...
THE FLOW WILL GENERALLY BE ONSHORE OVER THE WATERS AS A FRONT
DROPS SOUTH OF THE AREA AND HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS FROM THE NORTH...WITH
NEAR SHORE ENHANCEMENTS EXPECTED ALONG THE LAND/SEA INTERFACE THIS
AFTERNOON. BY LATE AFTERNOON...THE INTRACOASTAL COULD BE 15-20 KT
IN SPOTS WITH 10 TO 15 KT E FLOW OVER THE ATLC. E TO SE FLOW WILL
LINGER TONIGHT BUT SPEEDS MAINLY LESS THAN 15 KT. SEAS WILL
AVERAGE 2 TO 4 FT...HIGHEST THIS MORNING AROUND GRAYS REEF AND
SEAWARD.

TUESDAY THROUGH SATURDAY...ATLANTIC HIGH PRESSURE WILL HOLD IN PLACE
THROUGH THE PERIOD...RESULTING IN FAIRLY BENIGN WEATHER OVER THE
MARINE AREA WITH WINDS AND SEAS HOLDING BELOW ADVISORY LEVELS.

&&
