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 28, 1:28 PM EDT, 2 hours 45 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Jun 28, 1:28 PM EDT, 2 hours 45 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE CHARLESTON SC
128 PM EDT FRI JUN 28 2013

.SYNOPSIS...
A COLD FRONT WILL APPROACH FROM THE NORTHWEST TODAY...THEN STALL
AND EVENTUALLY DISSIPATE BEFORE REACHING THE AREA OVER THE
WEEKEND. HOWEVER...AN UNUSUALLY MOIST AIR MASS WILL MOVE INTO THE
AREA AHEAD OF THE FRONT LEADING TO HEAVY RAINFALL AT TIMES.
OTHERWISE...HIGH PRESSURE WILL PREVAIL OFFSHORE WITH DEEP LOW
PRESSURE NORTH AND WEST OF THE AREA THROUGH THE MIDDLE OF NEXT
WEEK.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...
THE MAIN FORECAST CHALLENGE TODAY WILL BE PINNING DOWN CONVECTION
TIMING AND COVERAGE. BROAD UPPER LEVEL TROUGH CENTERED OVER THE
GREAT LAKES WILL BEGIN TO AMPLIFY TODAY. AT THE SURFACE...A SURFACE
TROUGH WILL STRENGTHEN EAST OF THE APPALACHIANS AS A COLD FRONT
APPROACHES FROM THE WEST. THIS AFTERNOON...A WEAK SHORTWAVE IS
PROGGED TO CROSS THROUGH THE FORECAST AREA. THIS IN COMBINATION
WITH PRECIPITABLE WATER VALUES NEARING 2 INCHES...SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS WILL LIKELY ONCE AGAIN INCREASE IN COVERAGE. SPC DAY
1 OUTLOOK CURRENTLY HAS THE INLAND SC AND GA COUNTIES OUTLINED IN
A SLIGHT RISK TODAY. FEW CLOUDS THIS MORNING HAS ALLOWED THE ATMOSPHERE
TO DESTABILIZE...AND MODIFIED 12Z KCHS SOUNDING INDICATES CAPE
VALUES IN EXCESS OF 3500 J/KG THIS AFTERNOON. THE PRIMARY THREAT
THIS AFTERNOON INTO THE EVENING WILL BE DAMAGING WINDS GIVEN
FORECAST DCAPE VALUES OVER 1000 J/KG AND DECENT MID AND LOW LEVEL
LAPSE RATES. LARGE HAIL COULD ALSO BE A THREAT WITHIN STRONGER
UPDRAFTS...HOWEVER WET BULB ZERO HEIGHTS ARE A BIT HIGH.
OVERALL...NO MAJOR CHANGES WERE NEEDED WITH THIS UPDATE...WITH
POPS INCREASING TO A HIGH CHANCE LATE.

MODEL SOUNDINGS INDICATE A WESTERLY/DOWNSLOPE COMPONENT THROUGH A
GOOD PORTION OF THE COLUMN...SO TEMPERATURES TODAY WILL BE SLIGHTLY
ABOVE NORMAL. HIGHS IN THE MIDDLE 90S AWAY FROM THE COAST IN
COMBINATION WITH A JUICY AIRMASS...DEW POINTS IN THE MIDDLE
70S...WILL YIELD HEAT INDICES OF 105 IN MOST INLAND PLACES. THUS
HAVE CONTINUED HEAT ADVISORY FOR THIS AFTERNOON.

&&

.SHORT TERM /SATURDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...
TONIGHT...A COLD FRONT WILL DROP INTO THE UPSTATE OF SOUTH
CAROLINA AND NORTHERN GEORGIA...WITH MOISTURE DEEPENING OVER THE
AREA AHEAD OF IT. A PASSING SHORT WAVE DISTURBANCE AND
STRENGTHENING DIVERGENCE ALOFT WILL SUPPORT SCATTERED SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS...WHICH COULD BE MAINTAINED THROUGH MUCH OF THE
OVERNIGHT HOURS GIVEN SUFFICIENT FORCING AND MOISTURE AHEAD OF THE
FRONT. THE FORECAST WILL INDICATE A 40-50 PERCENT CHANCE OF
SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS THE AREA AS A RESULT. THE THREAT
FOR SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS...CAPABLE OF PRODUCING DAMAGING WINDS AND
LARGE HAIL...WILL CONTINUE THROUGH THE EVENING HOURS.

MEDIUM RANGE GUIDANCE IN PRETTY GOOD AGREEMENT INDICATING THE AREA
REMAINING CAUGHT BETWEEN HIGH PRESSURE OFFSHORE AND DEEP TROUGHING
INLAND. NUMEROUS SHORTWAVES ARE EXPECTED TO MOVE THROUGH AHEAD OF
THE TROUGH AND WITH AN UNUSUALLY MOIST AIRMASS IN PLACE ALONG WITH
MODERATE INSTABILITY CONDITIONS WILL BE QUITE UNSETTLED WITH
NUMEROUS SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS...MOSTLY DURING THE AFTERNOON AND
EVENING. SOME DRIER AIR COULD MOVE IN FROM THE WEST MONDAY LEADING
TO SLIGHTLY LOWER RAIN CHANCES...ESPECIALLY INLAND. HEAVY RAINFALL
IS LIKELY AT TIMES AND THIS COULD LEAD TO LOCALIZED FLOODING DUE TO
THE RELATIVELY SLOW STORM MOTIONS...ESPECIALLY SATURDAY. COULD ALSO
SEE A FEW SOME SEVERE STORMS EACH DAY...MAINLY IN THE
AFTERNOON/EVENING DURING PEAK HEATING.

THERE WILL BE QUITE A BIT OF CLOUD COVER THROUGH THE PERIOD BUT HIGH
TEMPERATURES SHOULD STILL BE ABLE TO GET TO NEAR NORMAL VALUES
/AROUND 90/ WITH LOWS NEAR/SLIGHTLY ABOVE NORMAL.

&&

.LONG TERM /MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY/...
RATHER UNSETTLED PATTERN LOOKS TO REMAIN IN PLACE THROUGH THE PERIOD
WITH UPPER TROUGHING TO THE NORTH AND WEST AND A RATHER MOIST
ATMOSPHERE CONTINUING OVER THE AREA. RAIN CHANCES WILL BE HIGHER
THAN NORMAL...WITH THE BEST CHANCES TYPICALLY NEAR THE COAST EACH
MORNING SHIFTING INLAND DURING THE DAY. LOCALIZED FLOODING AND
DAMAGING WINDS WILL BE POSSIBLE. TEMPERATURES SHOULD BE NEAR NORMAL
THROUGH THE PERIOD.

&&

.AVIATION /17Z FRIDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...
STRONG SUBSIDENCE SHOULD PREVENT CONVECTION FROM DEVELOPING THROUGH
EARLY AFTERNOON...BUT THEN AS A DISTURBANCE APPROACHES FROM THE WEST
ISOLATED TO SCATTERED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS COULD DEVELOP LATE
THIS AFTERNOON AND CONTINUE THROUGH MUCH OF TONIGHT. THERE IS STILL
UNCERTAINTY WITH RESPECT TO TIMING AND CONVERGE...BUT THE FORECAST
WILL INDICATE VICINITY THUNDERSTORMS IN THE LATE AFTERNOON AND
EVENING. MOISTURE WILL INCREASE TONIGHT...WHICH COULD PRODUCE MVFR
CIGS...BUT WENT WITH SCT SKIES FOR NOW SINCE THE MODELS ARE LESS
CONFIDENT OF HOW MUCH LOW LEVEL MOISTURE THERE WILL BE. AS THE
PRESSURE GRADIENT CONTINUES TO TIGHTEN AHEAD OF THE COLD
FRONT...WINDS WILL REMAIN ABOVE 10 KT FOR THE ENTIRE PERIOD.

EXTENDED AVIATION OUTLOOK...SCATTERED TO NUMEROUS SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS EXPECTED EACH AFTERNOON/EVENING THROUGH TUESDAY WITH
BRIEF REDUCTIONS IN CEILINGS AND/OR VISIBILITIES. GUSTY WINDS LIKELY
EACH AFTERNOON...ESPECIALLY THROUGH THE WEEKEND AT KCHS.

&&

.MARINE...
TODAY...DETERIORATING CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED OVER THE COASTAL
WATERS AS THE SURFACE PRESSURE GRADIENT TIGHTENS BETWEEN ATLANTIC
HIGH PRESSURE AND A TROUGH OF LOW PRESSURE INLAND. INCREASING
WINDS WILL RESULT IN SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY CONDITIONS ACROSS THE
WATERS OUTSIDE OF THE NEAR SHORE GEORGIA WATERS AND NEARSHORE SC
FROM EDISTO BEACH TO SAVANNAH BY MID- AFTERNOON. SEAS WILL BUILD
TO 3-5 FT.

TONIGHT...A STRENGTHENING LOW LEVEL JET WILL RESULT IN A NOCTURNAL
SURGE OVER ALL COASTAL WATERS TONIGHT. SMALL CRAFT ADVISORIES ARE
IN EFFECT FOR ALL WATERS...ALTHOUGH WINDS WILL DIMINISH IN
CHARLESTON HARBOR BY LATE EVENING. SEAS WILL BUILD TO 4-6
FT...HIGHEST OVER THE NEAR SHORE SOUTH CAROLINA WATERS NORTH OF
EDISTO AND THE OUTER GEORGIA WATERS.

SATURDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY...ATLANTIC HIGH PRESSURE WILL REMAIN EAST
OF THE COASTAL WATERS WHILE A TROUGH OF LOW PRESSURE REMAINS INLAND
THROUGH THE PERIOD. THIS WILL RESULT IN MOSTLY SOUTH/SOUTHEAST
WINDS...ENHANCED TO NEAR ADVISORY LEVELS AT TIMES...MAINLY ACROSS
THE SOUTH CAROLINA WATERS AND OUTER GEORGIA WATERS. SIGNIFICANT WAVE
HEIGHTS WILL ALSO BE CLOSE TO ADVISORY LEVELS IN THESE SAME AREAS.
