Local storm reports filed while the alert was in force, from inside its polygon or its counties.

Did it verify

Verified. The Iowa Environmental Mesonet's Cow matched 7 storm reports to this severe thunderstorm warning; the first came 17 minutes after it went out.

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

Jacksonville, FL (KJAX), launched 12:00Z, 11.2 hours before the alert went out and 150 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, Jun 24, 5:30 PM EDT, 1 hour 43 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE CHARLESTON SC
530 PM EDT TUE JUN 24 2014

.SYNOPSIS...
ATLANTIC HIGH PRESSURE WILL GRADUALLY BECOME THE DOMINANT FEATURE
THROUGH EARLY NEXT WEEK WHILE A WEAK TROUGH OF LOW PRESSURE PERSISTS
INLAND.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM WEDNESDAY MORNING/...
GRIDS/TEXT PRODUCTS HAVE BEEN UPDATED TO REFLECT GOING TRENDS.
APPROACHING LINE OF SHOWERS/TSTMS APPEARS LINKED TO WEAK SHORTWAVE
ENERGY MOVING ACROSS SOUTHERN GEORGIA. INSTABILITY IS NOT THE
GREATEST AHEAD OF THE LINE WITH MLCAPE RUNNING ABOUT 1500
J/KG...BUT IS ENOUGH TO SUSTAIN ACTIVITY AS IT MOVES EAST. KCLX
ALSO SHOWS THE SEA BREEZE BEGINNING TO BOW INLAND ACROSS NORTH
COASTAL GEORGIA WHICH MAY HELP INCREASE LOW-LEVEL CONVERGENCE...
MAINLY SOUTH OF I-16. THERE APPEARS TO BE A WEAK CAP IN PLACE
WHICH MAY SUPPRESS ACTIVITY FARTHER TO THE NORTH ACROSS SOUTHEAST
SOUTH CAROLINA...EXCEPT ACROSS THE FAR SOUTH NEAR THE SAVANNAH
RIVER. ADJUSTED POPS TO INCREASE GRIDDED VALUES TO 70 PERCENT
ROUGHLY ALONG/SOUTH OF I-16 WITH POPS UP TO 30/40 PERCENT
ELSEWHERE...LOWEST ACROSS THE FAR NORTHERN ZONES. AN ISOLATED
STRONG/SEVERE TSTM CAN NOT BE RULED OUT...ESPECIALLY SOUTH OF
I-16 WHERE A COLLISION WITH THE SEA BREEZE COULD LOCALLY BOOST
UPDRAFT STRENGTH. LOCALLY HEAVY RAINFALL IS ALSO A CONCERN
ALTHOUGH STORM MOVEMENT IS A BIT MORE THAN YESTERDAY. HOWEVER...IT
WILL NOT TAKE MUCH HEAVY RAIN ACROSS NORTHERN CHATHAM COUNTY TO
PRODUCE AT LEAST MINOR FLOODING WHERE UPWARDS OF 6-10 INCHES OF
RAIN FELL MONDAY.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 AM WEDNESDAY MORNING THROUGH FRIDAY/...
THE UPPER LEVEL RIDGE WILL GRADUALLY BUILD OVER THE SOUTHEAST UNITED
STATES WEDNESDAY THROUGH FRIDAY. MEANWHILE BERMUDA HIGH PRESSURE
WILL BECOME ENTRENCHED ACROSS THE WESTERN ATLANTIC. DEEP WESTERLY
FLOW WILL SETUP ON WEDNESDAY...PRODUCING BROAD SUBSIDENCE AND
PREVENTING THE SEA BREEZE FROM MAKING MUCH INLAND PROGRESS UNTIL
LATER IN THE AFTERNOON. DOWNSLOPE FLOW WILL PUSH HIGH TEMPS INTO THE
MIDDLE 90S. MODEL SOUNDINGS DEPICT A STRENGTHENING MID LEVEL CAP
WHICH WILL PRECLUDE MUCH IN THE WAY OF CONVECTIVE DEVELOPMENT AT
LEAST EARLY ON. THE NAM SHOWS SOME WEAK SHORTWAVE ENERGY PUSHING
INTO THE AREA LATE IN THE AFTERNOON. THERE WILL ALSO BE A WEAK LEE
TROUGH TO THE WEST WHICH MAY PRODUCE SOME SHOWERS AND TSTMS THAT
COULD MOVE INTO OUR AREA LATE IN THE AFTERNOON. WE DECREASED POPS TO
SLIGHT CHANCE AND MAINLY AFTER 2PM. RESIDUAL CONVECTION SHOULD
DISSIPATE EARLY IN THE EVENING WITH THE LOSS OF DAYTIME HEATING.

ON THURSDAY A SIMILAR PATTERN WILL BE IN PLACE...THOUGH THE
MID-LEVEL CAP WILL BE EVEN STRONGER. HOWEVER IN THE LOWER LEVELS THE
FLOW BECOMES MORE SOUTHWESTERLY WHICH SHOULD ALLOW THE SEA BREEZE TO
PUSH INLAND A FEW HOURS EARLIER THAN ON WEDNESDAY. MODEL SOUNDINGS
AND TIME SECTIONS SHOW QUITE A BIT MORE DRY AIR OVER THE AREA WITH
PWAT VALUES DROPPING BELOW 1.40 INCHES AT KCHS IN THE AFTERNOON.
THERE COULD BE ANOTHER BOUT OF LATE AFTERNOON VORTICITY ENERGY
MOVING IN FROM THE WEST WHICH MAY HELP A FEW SHOWERS AND TSTMS
DEVELOP THOUGH OVERALL COVERAGE SHOULD AGAIN BE LESS THAN 25
PERCENT. IF ANY STRONGER STORMS CAN DEVELOP THE PRESENCE OF
MID-LEVEL DRY AIR COULD LEAD TO A SLIGHTLY GREATER CHANCE FOR
DAMAGING WIND GUSTS. WARM THICKNESSES AND SOME DOWNSLOPE FLOW WILL
PUSH HIGHS INTO THE MIDDLE 90S.

SOME MODEL DIFFERENCES EXIST FOR FRIDAY WITH THE CONSENSUS SHOWING
STRENGTHENING LOW AND MID LEVEL RIDGING...THOUGH THE NAM SHOWS A
WEAK 500 MB LOW DRIFTING THROUGH. WE ARE TRENDING TOWARD THE
GFS/ECMWF AND ANOTHER RELATIVELY QUIET DAY WITH MAINLY LEE TROUGH
AND SEA BREEZE CONVECTION AND HIGH TEMPS IN THE MIDDLE 90S.

&&

.LONG TERM /FRIDAY NIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY/...
MODEL AGREEMENT CONTINUES TO BE GOOD IN THE LONG TERM PERIOD. THE
BUILDING RIDGE WILL BECOME CENTERED NEARLY RIGHT OVER THE FORECAST
AREA THIS WEEKEND BEFORE THE RIDGE FLATTENS OUT SOME AND BECOMES
MORE WEST/EAST ORIENTED ACROSS THE CONUS EARLY NEXT WEEK. OVERALL
THIS WILL RESULT IN A TYPICAL SUMMERTIME PATTERN WITH THE REGION
UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF SUBTROPICAL HIGH PRESSURE OVER THE ATLANTIC.
IN THE ABSENCE OF ANY ORGANIZED FEATURES ALOFT OR AT THE
SURFACE...CONVECTIVE DEVELOPMENT WILL BE DRIVEN NEARLY COMPLETELY BY
SURFACE HEATING AND PERHAPS SEA BREEZE INFLUENCES. 20-30 POPS SEEM
REASONABLE AND ARE IN PLACE THROUGH THE END OF THE FORECAST.
TEMPERATURES WILL CONTINUE TO BE ABOVE NORMAL WITH HIGHS IN THE LOW
TO MID 90S EACH DAY.

&&

.AVIATION /22Z TUESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/...
MAIN IMPACT THIS PERIOD WILL BE SHOWERS AND TSTMS THIS AFTN/EVE
WITH PLENTIFUL MOISTURE IN PLACE ALONG WITH THE SEA BREEZE AND
UPPER DISTURBANCE APPROACHING FROM THE WEST. CONVECTION SHOULD
FIRE FIRST ALONG THE SEA BREEZE AND THEN ADDITIONAL ACTIVITY COULD
MOVE IN FROM THE WEST. TRIED TO TIME THE BEST CHANCE OF
CONVECTION BASED ON THE LATEST RADAR IMAGERY AND SHORT TERM MODEL
GUIDANCE BUT AS USUAL MUCH WILL DEPEND ON MESOSCALE BOUNDARIES
WHICH ARE HARD TO PIN DOWN IN ADVANCE. LOCALLY HEAVY RAINFALL WILL
BE POSSIBLE WITH ANY CONVECTION SO VSBYS COULD EASILY DROP LESS
THAN 3SM.

EXTENDED AVIATION OUTLOOK...BRIEF CEILING/VISIBILITY REDUCTIONS
POSSIBLE IN AFTERNOON/EVENING SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS THROUGH
THE WEEKEND.

&&

.MARINE...
TONIGHT...MAINLY SW FLOW AOB 15 KT. SEAS WILL GENERALLY RANGE
FROM 2-3 FT...HIGHEST E.

WEDNESDAY THROUGH SATURDAY...THE COASTAL WATERS WILL GENERALLY BE
BETWEEN ATLANTIC HIGH PRESSURE TO THE EAST AND AN INLAND TROUGH OF
LOW PRESSURE TO THE WEST. THIS WILL MAINTAIN A SOUTH TO SOUTHWEST
FLOW ACROSS THE AREA. THE STRONGEST WINDS WILL OCCUR WEDNESDAY
AFTERNOON INTO WEDNESDAY NIGHT DUE TO A TIGHTENING GRADIENT AS A
COLD FRONT APPROACHES FROM THE WEST. WINDS COULD OCCASIONALLY GUST
TO NEAR 25 KT BUT SEAS WILL RISE NO HIGHER THAN 4 FT. OTHERWISE
THE STRONGEST WINDS WILL BE ALONG THE COAST WITH THE SEA BREEZE
EACH AFTERNOON.

&&

.TIDES/COASTAL FLOODING...
WILL NEED TO KEEP AN EYE ON THE HIGH TIDE THIS EVENING GIVEN THE
HIGH TIDAL DEPARTURES WE HAVE SEEN RECENTLY. THERE IS A SMALL
RISK OF MINOR SALTWATER INUNDATION ALONG THE COAST...ESPECIALLY IN
SC. HEAVY RAINFALL IS ALSO POSSIBLE AROUND THIS TIME WHICH WOULD
JUST EXACERBATE THE FLOODING THREAT.

&&

.CHS WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
GA...NONE.
SC...NONE.
MARINE...NONE.
