THIS WILL BE THE LAST STATEMENT FOR THIS HIGH WATER EVENT.

What forecasters said that day

The local office's own words before this river flood warning went out, as it sent them, from the Iowa Environmental Mesonet's archive of National Weather Service text.

NWS Columbia, SC wrote its last area forecast discussion before this river flood warning went out at Jul 11, 6:32 AM EDT, 2 hours 58 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Jul 11, 6:32 AM EDT, 2 hours 58 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE COLUMBIA SC
632 AM EDT THU JUL 11 2013

.SYNOPSIS...
HIGH PRESSURE CENTERED OFF THE COAST WILL CONTINUE TO CIRCULATE
VERY MOIST AIR INTO THE FORECAST AREA AHEAD OF A COLD FRONT
APPROACHING FROM THE NORTHWEST. THIS FRONT WILL STALL NEAR THE
AREA FRIDAY.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 PM THIS EVENING/...
THUNDERSTORM COVERAGE WAS SCATTERED YESTERDAY BUT AGAIN SOME OF
THE STORMS CONTAINED VERY HEAVY RAIN. A FEW WATER RESCUES OCCURRED
BECAUSE OF SERIOUS FLOODING IN COLUMBIA COUNTY GEORGIA YESTERDAY.

TODAY THE THUNDERSTORM COVERAGE SHOULD BE GREATER. THERE SHOULD BE
CONVERGENCE INTO A WEAK PRE-FRONTAL TROUGH WITH DEVELOPING UPPER-
LEVEL TROUGHING. THE COVERAGE SHOULD BE GREATER DURING THE TIME OF
MAXIMUM HEATING WHICH IS SUPPORTED BY THE HIGH-RESOLUTION MODELS.
THE NAM AND GFS MOS WERE CONSISTENT WITH POPS AROUND 70 PERCENT.

A CONTINUED DIFLUENT 1000-500 MB THICKNESS PATTERN AND
PRECIPITABLE WATER AROUND 2 INCHES INDICATES SLOW STORM MOVEMENT
AND HEAVY RAIN. THICKNESS VALUES WILL BE NEAR 574 DM WHICH ARE
OPTIMAL FOR VERY HEAVY RAIN IN JULY. THE NAM SHOWED THE THICKNESS
BETWEEN THE LIFTING CONDENSATION LEVEL AND 0-DEGREE ISOTHERM WILL
BE AROUND 11700 FEET THIS AFTERNOON. THIS WARM LAYER INDICATES A
POTENTIAL RAIN RATE OF 4 INCHES PER HOUR.

BASED ON THE EXPECTED INCREASE IN THUNDERSTORM COVERAGE AND THE
CONTINUED ENVIRONMENT SUPPORTIVE OF EXCESSIVE RAIN ON ALREADY
SATURATED SOIL WE BELIEVE A FLASH FLOOD WATCH IS NEEDED.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 PM THIS EVENING THROUGH FRIDAY NIGHT/...
CONVERGENCE AHEAD OF THE APPROACHING COLD FRONT AND THE DEEPENING
UPPER-LEVEL TROUGH SUPPORTS NUMEROUS SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS
TONIGHT. HIGH PRECIPITABLE WATER INDICATES A CONTINUED THREAT OF
EXCESSIVE RAIN AND WE MAINTAINED THE FLASH FLOOD WATCH. THE HIGH-
RESOLUTION MODELS SUPPORT THE GREATER COVERAGE DURING THE EVENING.

THE MODELS SHOW THE FRONT STALLING JUST EAST OF THE FORECAST AREA
FRIDAY. WE FORECASTED CHANCE POPS WEST AND LIKELY EAST CLOSER TO
THE STALLED FRONT. THE TEMPERATURE GUIDANCE WAS CLOSE WITH
CLOUDINESS AND SHOWERS KEEPING HIGH TEMPERATURES BELOW NORMAL.

&&

.LONG TERM /SATURDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
THE GFS AND ECMWF CONTINUE TO SHOW A MOIST ONSHORE FLOW DURING
THE MEDIUM-RANGE PERIOD. THE MODELS INDICATE THE UPPER TROUGHING
BEGINNING TO SHIFT WESTWARD SATURDAY OR SUNDAY WITH THE UPPER
HIGH NORTH OF THE AREA BECOMING MORE DOMINATE EARLY NEXT WEEK. THE
GENERAL PATTERN SUPPORTS SCATTERED TO NUMEROUS SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS WITH THE HIGHER POPS EARLY IN THE PERIOD. EXPECT
HIGH TEMPERATURES COOLER THAN CLIMATOLOGY.

&&

.AVIATION /12Z THURSDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...
A FEW SHOWERS HAVE DEVELOPED OVER PORTIONS OF THE NORTHERN AND
WESTERN COUNTIES THIS MORNING. MAINLY VFR THIS MORNING...BUT SOME
IFR CIGS WILL PERSIST UNTIL AROUND 14Z. SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS
ARE EXPECTED AGAIN LATER TODAY WITH ABUNDANT MOISTURE ACROSS THE
AREA AND A COLD FRONT APPROACHING FROM THE NORTHWEST. MENTIONED
VCSH AFTER 00Z FRIDAY AT ALL TAF SITES AS AREAL COVERAGE SHOULD
INCREASE...BUT HAVE LOW CONFIDENCE WITH TIMING ISSUES.

EXTENDED AVIATION OUTLOOK...RESTRICTIONS POSSIBLE EACH DAY IN
LATE NIGHT/EARLY MORNING FOG OR STRATUS AS WELL AS SCATTERED
MAINLY AFTERNOON AND EVENING SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS.

&&

.CAE WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
SC...FLASH FLOOD WATCH FROM 2 PM EDT THIS AFTERNOON THROUGH LATE
     TONIGHT FOR SCZ015-016-018-020>022-025>031-035>038-041.
