The radar
The Charleston,SC radar (KCLX), 43 km from the middle of the area, began a volume at 23:13 UTC, the scan nearest the moment this went out.
Open the radar archive at this moment
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 flash flood 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, 11.2 hours before the alert went out and 144 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
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE CHARLESTON SC
710 PM EDT MON AUG 19 2013
.SYNOPSIS...
A STATIONARY FRONT OVER THE AREA WILL DISSIPATE AS HIGH PRESSURE
BUILDS ACROSS THE REGION MID TO LATE WEEK. A WEAK TROUGH OF LOW
PRESSURE WILL APPROACH FROM THE NORTHWEST THIS WEEKEND...FOLLOWED
BY HIGH PRESSURE INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK.
&&
.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM TUESDAY MORNING/...
WIDESPREAD CONVECTION ACROSS INLAND AREAS THIS EVENING IS
BEGINNING TO SHOW SIGNS OF WEAKENING...HOWEVER LIGHT TO MODERATE
PRECIPITATION STILL CONTINUES FOR GENERALLY THE WESTERN HALF OF
THE FORECAST AREA. HAVE UPDATED THE RAIN CHANCES TO HIGHLIGHT
ONGOING PRECIPITATION...WHILE INDICATING A GENERAL DOWNWARD TREND
IN INTENSITY AND COVERAGE AS THE EVENING PROGRESSES. SHORT RANGE
NUMERICAL MODELS HINT THAT ISOLATED PRECIPITATION COULD RE-INITIATE
LATER TONIGHT...MAINLY ACROSS NORTHERN AND COASTAL AREAS WHERE
CONVERGENCE ALONG THE STATIONARY FRONT/COASTAL TROUGH IS
MAXIMIZED. THUS PREFER TO KEEP PORTIONS OF THE FORECAST AREA UNDER
A SLIGHT CHANCE FOR SHOWERS/WEAK THUNDERSTORMS OVERNIGHT.
FOG AND/OR STRATUS COULD REDEVELOP AWAY FROM THE IMMEDIATE COAST
WHERE WINDS REMAIN LIGHT AND BOUNDARY LAYER MOISTURE/INSTABILITY
IS ENHANCED BY RAIN. HAVE INDICATED SKY COVER DIMINISHING TO
PARTLY CLOUDY AS DEBRIS CLOUDS DISSIPATE DURING THE NEXT FEW
HOURS...YET PREFER TO KEEP AT LEAST PARTLY TO MOSTLY CLOUDY SKIES
IN THE FORECAST THROUGH THE NIGHTTIME AND EARLY MORNING HOURS.
LOW TEMPERATURES WILL REACH THE LOWER 70S.
&&
.SHORT TERM /6 AM TUESDAY MORNING THROUGH THURSDAY/...
TUESDAY...HIGH PRESSURE AT THE SURFACE AND ALOFT WILL PREVAIL. A
WEAK COASTAL TROUGH/LINGERING STATIONARY FRONT WILL PROVIDE ENOUGH
CONVERGENCE TO SUPPORT ISOLATED SHOWERS/WEAK THUNDERSTORMS PUSHING
LOCALLY ONSHORE DURING THE MORNING HOURS. THE TROUGH WILL DISSIPATE
AS THE DAY PROGRESSES...WHILE THE SEABREEZE BECOMES THE MAIN FOCUS
FOR CONVECTION BY THE EARLY AFTERNOON. DEEPER MOISTURE WRAPPING
AROUND THE PERIPHERY OF THE ATLANTIC RIDGE...AS WELL AS A SERIES OF
WEAK SHORTWAVES TRACKING FROM THE GULF OF MEXICO...SUGGESTS THAT
SCATTERED SHOWER/THUNDERSTORM DEVELOPMENT IS POSSIBLE. WILL
ADVERTISE RAIN CHANCES PEAKING IN THE 30 TO 40 PERCENT RANGE AWAY
FROM THE IMMEDIATE COASTLINE...HIGHLIGHTING INLAND AREAS WITH BEST
COVERAGE. PRECIPITATION POTENTIAL WILL THEN DIMINISH AFTER SUNSET
WITH THE LOSS OF DAYTIME HEATING AND INSTABILITY. HIGH TEMPERATURES
WILL REACH THE UPPER 80S TO AROUND 90 DEGREES INLAND.
WEDNESDAY...A SHORTWAVE TROUGH WILL SHIFT INTO THE OHIO VALLEY
REGION MIDDAY...WHILE THE ATLANTIC RIDGE REMAINS RATHER STRONG
OVER THE SOUTHEAST COAST. EXPECT THE CONVECTIVE SCENARIO TO BE
FAIRLY TYPICAL FOR LATE SUMMER. COVERAGE WILL INITIALLY OCCUR OVER
THE MARINE ZONES AND COASTLINE IN THE MORNING ALONG REMNANTS OF
A STATIONARY FRONT...BEFORE TRANSITIONING ALONG AND INLAND OF THE
SEABREEZE BY AFTERNOON AND EARLY EVENING HOURS. WILL INDICATE
SHOWER/THUNDERSTORM CHANCES IN THE 20 PERCENT RANGE ALONG THE
COAST TO 30 TO NEAR 40 PERCENT FARTHER INLAND. COVERAGE OVER LAND
WILL THEN DIMINISH FROM EAST TO WEST INTO THE EVENING HOURS...WITH
BEST CONVERGENCE/INSTABILITY SHIFTING TO THE WATERS OVERNIGHT.
TEMPERATURES WILL PEAK A DEGREE OR TWO HIGHER THAN THE PREVIOUS
DAY...REACHING 90 TO 91 DEGREES AWAY FROM THE LOCALLY COOLER
COASTLINE.
THURSDAY...DEEP LAYER RIDGING WILL WEAKEN BY LATE WEEK...AS THE
SHORTWAVE TROUGH TO THE NORTH TRACKS INTO THE MID ATLANTIC STATES.
DESPITE THIS VARIATION IN THE LARGE SCALE PATTERN...EXPECT LITTLE
NOTABLE CHANGE TO THE GENERAL SENSIBLE WEATHER FOR THURSDAY. WILL
INDICATE A SEASONAL 20 TO 30 PERCENT CHANCE FOR
SHOWERS/THUNDERSTORMS DURING THE DAYTIME HOURS...WITH RAIN CHANCES
DIMINISHING BY THE EVENING/NIGHTTIME PERIOD. LOW TO MID LEVEL FLOW
WILL LOSE SOME OF ITS ONSHORE COMPONENT...CONTRIBUTING TO WARMER
HIGH TEMPERATURES IN THE LOWER 90S.
&&
.LONG TERM /THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH MONDAY/...
A TYPICAL SUMMERTIME PATTERN WILL PERSIST THROUGH LATE WEEK AS
ATLANTIC HIGH PRESSURE REMAINS OVER THE SOUTHEAST. CONDITIONS SHOULD
REMAIN SOMEWHAT DRYER THROUGH FRIDAY WITH WEST/SOUTHWEST FLOW ALOFT.
HIGH PRESSURE WILL THEN GRADUALLY RETREAT SOUTH AND EAST INTO THE
WEEKEND AS A WEAK TROUGH OF LOW PRESSURE APPROACHES FROM THE NORTHWEST.
A SLIGHT CHANCE OF SHOWERS AND/OR THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE POSSIBLE
EACH DAY...WITH POSSIBLY INCREASING CHANCES ON SUNDAY BEFORE SFC
HIGH PRESSURE AND DRYER MID LVL AIR SHIFTS OVER THE SOUTHEAST INTO
EARLY NEXT WEEK. OVERALL HIGH TEMPS SHOULD RANGE IN THE UPPER 80S
TO LOWER 90S EACH AFTERNOON...HIGHEST OVER INLAND AREAS IN
SOUTHEAST GEORGIA. OVERNIGHT LOW TEMPS SHOULD RANGE IN THE LOW 70S
INLAND TO LOW/MID 70S ALONG THE COAST.
&&
.AVIATION /00Z TUESDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/...
SHOWERS/THUNDERSTORMS WILL CONTINUE TO DISSIPATE THROUGH SUNSET.
SHOWERS WILL THEN REDEVELOP/PUSH ONSHORE IN THE KCHS VICINITY
LATE TONIGHT AND/OR TUESDAY MORNING. OUTSIDE OF ANY
PRECIPITATION...MAINLY VFR CONDITIONS WILL PREVAIL...WITH ONLY A
LOW PROBABILITY FOR FLIGHT RESTRICTIONS LATE TONIGHT/EARLY
TUESDAY.
EXTENDED AVIATION OUTLOOK...VFR CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED TO PREVAIL
TUESDAY THROUGH SATURDAY AS HIGH PRESSURE PERSISTS OVER THE
SOUTHEAST. BRIEF MVFR CIGS/VSBYS ARE POSSIBLE EACH AFTERNOON WITH
INLAND MOVING SHOWERS AND/OR THUNDERSTORMS.
&&
.MARINE...
ATLANTIC HIGH PRESSURE WILL CONTINUE TO PRODUCE S TO SE WINDS MAINLY
10 KT OR LESS THROUGH TONIGHT...ACCOMPANIED BY SEAS 2 TO 3 FT
NEARSHORE WATERS AND 3 TO 4 FT BEYOND 20 NM. LOCALLY HIGHER
WINDS/SEAS COULD DEVELOP WITHIN/NEAR ISOLATED/SCATTERED
SHOWERS/TSTMS.
TUESDAY THROUGH FRIDAY...WINDS/SEAS ARE EXPECTED TO REMAIN WELL
BELOW SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY LEVELS THROUGH LATE WEEK WITH HIGH
PRESSURE THE MAIN FEATURE OVER THE MARINE ZONES. IN GENERAL...SOUTH
TO SOUTHEAST WINDS WILL REMAIN AT OR BELOW 10 TO 12 KT...HIGHEST
NEAR SEABREEZE CIRCULATIONS ALONG THE COAST. SEAS WILL REMAIN AT
OR BELOW 3 FT...HIGHEST IN OUTER GEORGIA WATERS.
RIP CURRENTS...A SLIGHT INCREASE IN SWELLS COULD LEAD TO A MODERATE
RISK OF RIPS BY MID WEEK.
&&
.TIDES/COASTAL FLOODING...
A COASTAL FLOOD ADVISORY CONTINUES FOR ALL COASTAL COUNTIES IN
ANTICIPATION OF ELEVATED TIDES FROM 6 TO 10 PM THIS EVENING.
SHALLOW SALT WATER FLOODING/ASSOCIATED IMPACTS SHOULD REMAIN
