$$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 Aug 15, 2:04 PM EDT, 44 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Aug 15, 2:04 PM EDT, 44 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE CHARLESTON SC 204 PM EDT FRI AUG 15 2014 .SYNOPSIS... A WEAK FRONT ACROSS THE AREA WILL LIFT NORTH TODAY AND TONIGHT. ATLANTIC HIGH PRESSURE WILL BE THE DOMINANT FEATURE SATURDAY THROUGH MUCH OF NEXT WEEK WHILE A WEAK TROUGH PERSISTS INLAND. && .NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/... EARLY THIS AFTERNOON...SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS HAVE STARTED TO DEVELOP ACROSS INLAND AREAS AND ARE TRACKING EASTWARD WITHIN THE MEAN FLOW. THE OVERALL THINKING REMAINS THE SAME THAT COVERAGE WILL STILL BE LIMITED TO SCATTERED AT BEST AND POPS HAVE BEEN ADJUSTED BASED ON CURRENT AND EXPECTED RADAR TRENDS. SO FAR...UPDRAFTS HAVE STRUGGLED TO GET TOO TALL LIKELY THANKS TO THE LESS THAN IMPRESSIVE MID LEVEL ENVIRONMENT. SPC MESOANALYSIS PAGE SHOWS THAT THE FORECAST AREA IS WITHIN A LARGE AREA OF 1000 J/KG OF DCAPE DUE TO THE EXPANSIVE MID/UPPER LEVEL DRY AIR. SO...THE STRONGER STORMS THAT DEVELOP WILL BE CAPABLE OF PRODUCING GUSTY WINDS. THE OVERALL SEVERE THREAT REMAINS ON THE LOW END BUT WE CANNOT RULE OUT NEEDING A WARNING OR TWO. && .SHORT TERM /SATURDAY THROUGH MONDAY/... A ZONAL UPPER LEVEL FLOW WILL PREVAIL WHILE ATLANTIC HIGH PRESSURE PREVAILS AT THE SURFACE. A LEE TROUGH WILL GRADUALLY DEVELOP SUNDAY INTO MONDAY...WITH LOW-LEVEL FLOW BECOMING MORE SOUTHWESTERLY. DEEP WESTERLY FLOW AND THICKNESS ADVECTION WILL ALLOW HIGH TEMPS TO REACH THE LOWER TO MIDDLE 90S EACH DAY. DRIER LOW-LEVEL AIR AND CONSIDERABLE MID-LEVEL CAPPING WILL REDUCE PRECIP POTENTIAL SATURDAY AND SUNDAY. WE ARE ONLY SHOWING A SLIGHT CHANCE OF SHOWERS AND TSTMS DURING THE AFTERNOON AND EARLY EVENING HOURS...DUE MAINLY TO SEA BREEZE CONVERGENCE. PWATS RISE ABOVE 1.75" ON MONDAY WHILE THE INLAND LEE TROUGH STRENGTHENS. CONDITIONS SHOULD BE SOMEWHAT MORE FAVORABLE FOR DIURNAL CONVECTION ON MONDAY SO WE ARE CARRYING 20-30 POPS. && .LONG TERM /MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY/... A ZONAL FLOW WILL PERSIST MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY BEFORE A BROAD UPPER RIDGE DEVELOPS ACROSS THE EASTERN UNITED STATES LATE NEXT WEEK. A MOIST AIRMASS WILL BE IN PLACE WITH PWATS GENERALLY GREATER THAN 1.80". THE AFTERNOON SEA BREEZE AND INLAND LEE TROUGH WILL BE THE PRIMARY FORCING MECHANISMS FOR DIURNAL CONVECTION. COVERAGE MAY BEGIN TO DECREASE LATE NEXT WEEK AS THE UPPER RIDGING CREATES SOME MID-LEVEL CAPPING AND SUBSIDENCE. HIGH TEMPS WILL BE IN THE LOWER TO MIDDLE 90S EACH DAY. && .AVIATION /18Z FRIDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/... THE BIGGEST CONCERN REVOLVES AROUND THE POTENTIAL FOR IMPACTS FROM SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS THROUGH THIS EVENING. BASED ON THE CURRENT DEVELOPMENT...KSAV HAS THE HIGHEST LIKELIHOOD AND A VCTS HAS BEEN ADDED IN THERE THROUGH 22Z. KCHS IS POSITIONED WITHIN SOME DRIER AIR SO THE THINKING IS THAT THE BULK OF THE ACTIVITY WILL REMAIN WEST OF THE TERMINAL. STORMS WILL DISSIPATE THIS EVENING WITH THE LOSS OF HEATING AND VFR CONDITIONS WILL PREVAIL THROUGH 18Z SATURDAY. EXTENDED AVIATION OUTLOOK...VFR CONDITIONS WILL PREVAIL. VERY LOW CHANCES FOR FLIGHT RESTRICTIONS IN AFTERNOON/EVENING TSTMS...WITH THE BEST CHANCE EARLY NEXT WEEK. && .MARINE... LIGHT AND VARIABLE FLOW THIS MORNING WITH SEAS FAIRLY GLASSY ALONG THE LAND/SEA INTERFACE GIVEN THE ONGOING TRANQUIL CONDITIONS AND LACK OF SWELL COMPONENT. LIGHT WINDS SHOULD BECOME MORE SOUTHERLY LATER TODAY WITH AN OFFSHORE COMPONENT POSSIBLY BY DAYBREAK ON SAT. SEAS 1 TO 2 FT. CONDITIONS DO NOT LOOK PERFECT FOR WATERSPOUT DEVELOPMENT ON THE MOISTURE FRONT THIS MORNING...BUT WIND PROFILES ARE FAVORABLE. WILL HAVE TO SEE WHAT THE DAY/S FIRST VISIBLE SATELLITE IMAGES SHOW BUT OVERALL POTENTIAL IS LOW END MODERATE AT BEST. ATLANTIC HIGH PRESSURE WILL BE THE DOMINANT FEATURE SATURDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY. SOUTHWESTERLY FLOW WILL BE THE RULE...EXCEPT MORE SOUTHERLY ALONG THE COAST DURING THE AFTERNOON SEA BREEZE. AN ENHANCED PRESSURE GRADIENT CAUSED BY A PRONOUNCED LEE TROUGH WILL SUPPORT DECENT NOCTURNAL SURGES WITH WINDS PEAKING AT 15-20 KT SUNDAY NIGHT AND MONDAY NIGHT. && .EQUIPMENT... THE CHARLESTON SC WSR-88D /KCLX/ REMAINS OUT OF SERVICE DUE TO A SIGNIFICANT MECHANICAL FAILURE. REPAIR WORK CONTINUES TO PROGRESS WELL AND A RECENT ESTIMATE FOR THE RADAR TO COME BACK INTO OPERATION IS PERHAPS AS EARLY AS AUGUST 20TH OR 21ST. UNTIL THAT TIME WE SUGGEST USING THE SURROUNDING RADAR SITES THAT AREA AVAILABLE AT KJAX...KJGX...KVAX...KLTX AND KCAE. && .CHS WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... GA...NONE. SC...NONE.
