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 4, 1:57 PM EDT, 25 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Jun 4, 1:57 PM EDT, 25 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE CHARLESTON SC
157 PM EDT MON JUN 4 2012

.SYNOPSIS...
A COLD FRONT WILL GRADUALLY ADVANCE INTO THE REGION TODAY THROUGH
THE EARLY PART OF THE WEEK...LIKELY LINGERING IN THE VICINITY OF
THE AREA THROUGH LATE WEEK. HIGH PRESSURE IS EXPECTED TO RETURN BY
THE WEEKEND.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 PM THIS EVENING/...
EARLY THIS AFTERNOON...A SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH HAS BEEN
ISSUED FOR PORTIONS OF SOUTHEAST GA...FAR SOUTHERN SC...AND PARTS
OF THE COASTAL WATERS UNTIL 7 PM. EXCELLENT SURFACE HEATING HAS
TAKEN PLACE IN THE AREAS THAT REMAINED CLOUD FREE THIS MORNING AND
CAPE VALUES HAVE RISEN TO IN EXCESS OF 1500 J/KG. THIS
DESTABILIZATION COMBINED WITH DEEP WESTERLY SHEAR ON THE ORDER OF
45-50 KTS HAS ALLOWED A NUMBER OF STRONG TO SEVERE STORMS TO
DEVELOP. WITH THE DEGREE OF DESTABILIZATION THAT HAS TAKEN
PLACE...THE FAVORED MODE OF CONVECTION IS DISCRETE CELLS WITH SOME
SUPERCELLULAR STRUCTURE. DAMAGING WIND GUSTS...LARGE HAIL...AND
EVEN AN ISOLATED TORNADO WILL BE POSSIBLE THROUGH THE LATE
AFTERNOON HOURS. SO FAR THE STORMS THAT ARE ONGOING HAVE A HISTORY
OF PRODUCING HAIL UP TO THE SIZE OF GOLF BALLS...AND SOME
ROTATION. THESE STORMS WILL CONTINUE TO SINK SOUTH AND EASTWARD
WITH TIME AND THE OVERALL COVERAGE AND SEVERE THREAT WILL DIMINISH
AFTER MID AFTERNOON.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 PM THIS EVENING THROUGH THURSDAY/...
ALL FORECAST PARAMETERS REMAIN HIGHLY UNCERTAIN TONIGHT AND WILL
DEPEND GREATLY THE IMPACT OF AFTERNOON CONVECTION. CHANCE POPS ARE
CERTAINLY IN ORDER AS A SLOW-MOVING COLD FRONT SLIPS INTO THE
REGION...WITH HIGHEST POPS JUSTIFIED ACROSS THE SOUTH. HOWEVER...
PRECIPITATION COVERAGE COULD REMAIN SPARSE IN THE WAKE OF
ORGANIZED AFTERNOON CONVECTION...OR ANOTHER CONVECTIVE COMPLEX
COULD PUSH INTO THE REGION FROM THE NW OVERNIGHT.

THE UNSETTLED PATTERN WILL CONTINUE THIS PERIOD AS A NEARLY
STATIONARY FRONT LIES OVER/NEAR THE AREA AND UPPER SHORTWAVE
TROUGHS TRAVERSE THE AREA. GENERALLY HAVE THE HIGHEST RAIN CHANCES
CONFINED TO SOUTHEAST GEORGIA WHERE DEEPER MOISTURE/INSTABILITY
ARE EXPECTED. COULD SEE SOME SEVERE STORMS...MAINLY TUESDAY
AFTERNOON SOUTH OF INTERSTATE 16 WHERE THE GREATEST
SHEAR/INSTABILITY ARE EXPECTED. TEMPERATURES NEAR NORMAL
TUESDAY...THEN LIKELY COOLING OFF SLIGHTLY WED/THU.

&&

.LONG TERM /THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH MONDAY/...
THE PERSISTENT UPPER TROUGH ALONG THE EAST COAST WILL LIKELY SHIFT
OFFSHORE FRIDAY...PUSHING THE SURFACE FRONT SOUTHEAST OF THE AREA
AND ALLOWING HIGH PRESSURE TO BUILD IN FROM THE NORTHWEST FOR THE
WEEKEND. THE HIGH WILL THEN SHIFT OFFSHORE BY MONDAY. BELOW NORMAL
TEMPS FRIDAY/FRIDAY NIGHT WILL CLIMB BACK TO NEAR NORMAL SAT/SUN.

&&

.AVIATION /18Z MONDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/...
THE BIGGEST NEAR TERM CONCERN FOR THE UPCOMING TAF PERIOD IS THE
CHANCE FOR THUNDERSTORMS AT KSAV OVER THE NEXT FEW HOURS. THERE IS
ONE STORM THAT WILL LIKELY MOVE ACROSS THE AIR FIELD SHORTLY WITH
GUSTY WINDS AND REDUCED VISIBILITIES...BUT PROLONGED SUB-VFR
CONDITIONS ARE NOT ANTICIPATED. THE CHANCE FOR THUNDERSTORMS IN THE
VICINITY WILL DIMINISH AFTER THE NEXT 2-3 HOURS WITH JUST SHOWERS
EXPECTED THEREAFTER. AT KCHS...JUST SHOWERS ARE EXPECTED THROUGH
THE AFTERNOON AS STORMS FROM EARLIER THIS MORNING WORKED THE AREA
OVER.

AFTER THE STORMS THIS AFTERNOON/EVENING...THERE ARE SOME
INDICATIONS THAT RESTRICTED CEILINGS COULD DEVELOP LATE TONIGHT.
RIGHT NOW MODEL GUIDANCE IS STILL A BIT MIXED ON THE
LIKELIHOOD...SO THE TAFS REMAIN VFR WITH THIS PACKAGE. AN
ADDITIONAL ROUND OF THUNDERSTORMS COULD APPROACH THE REGION FROM
THE NW LATE TONIGHT AS WELL...BUT CONFIDENCE IN ITS EXACTLY
LOCATION AND TIMING IS TOO LOW TO WARRANT MENTIONING IN THE
FORECAST.

EXTENDED AVIATION OUTLOOK...SMALL CHANCE OF PERIODIC SUB-VFR
CONDITIONS THROUGH THU AS THE FRONT LINGERS OVER/NEAR THE AREA.

&&

.MARINE...
OUTSIDE THUNDERSTORMS...W/SW WINDS WILL AVERAGE UP TO 20 KT TODAY
INTO THIS EVENING...THEN WILL VEER TOWARD THE NW AND WILL DIMINISH
SOMEWHAT OVERNIGHT. ISOLATED GUSTS TO 25 KT ARE
POSSIBLE...ESPECIALLY BEYOND 20 NM...BUT LOW PROBABILITY PRECLUDES
AN SCA. SEAS WILL REMAIN 2-4 FT...PERHAPS AS HIGH AS 5 FT BEYOND
20 NM.

THUNDERSTORMS COULD PRODUCE HAZARDOUS CONDITIONS TODAY...ESPECIALLY
THIS AFTERNOON/EARLY EVENING. FURTHER...THUNDERSTORMS COULD
GREATLY ALTER LOCAL WINDS AT ANY TIME TODAY AND TONIGHT.

TUESDAY THROUGH SATURDAY...A NEARLY STATIONARY FRONT WILL REMAIN
ACROSS THE AREA THROUGH AT LEAST THURSDAY BEFORE HIGH PRESSURE
BUILDS IN FROM THE NORTHWEST BY THE END OF THE WEEK. ALTHOUGH THERE
WILL BE SOME WIND/WAVE SURGES DO NOT ANTICIPATE ANY ADVISORIES AT
THIS TIME.

&&

.TIDES/COASTAL FLOODING...
THROUGH MID WEEK...PERIGEAN SPRING TIDES COULD PRODUCE MINOR SALT
WATER FLOODING DURING EACH EVENING HIGH TIDE. HIGH TIDE THIS
EVENING WILL OCCUR BETWEEN 730 PM AND 930 PM ACROSS COASTAL
COUNTIES.
