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 17, 4:16 PM EDT, 11 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Jun 17, 4:16 PM EDT, 11 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Charleston SC
416 PM EDT FRI JUN 17 2016

.SYNOPSIS...
A cold front will move through the area early tonight. Unseasonably
strong and cooler high pressure will build from the north this
weekend, while weak low pressure develops between Bermuda and the
Bahamas. The high will shift across the area early next week then
push south and east of the region around mid week. A cold front
will advance into the region late next week and could stall over
or close to the area by next weekend.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM SATURDAY MORNING/...
This evening and tonight...The main weather concern will continue to
focus on the ongoing severe weather situation. A Severe Thunderstorm
Watch remains in effect for the entire southeast South Carolina and
southeast Georgia area until 10 pm tonight. The atmosphere has
already become quite unstable and the presence of marginal wind
fields will support stronger thunderstorms late afternoon into early
overnight hours. SBCAPE ranging between 3500-5500 J/kg in some
locations, DCAPE between 1000-2000 J/kg, lifted index values between
-6 to -7 C along with modest mid lvl lapse rates and PWATs around
2.0 inches support scattered severe thunderstorms capable of
damaging wind gusts, small to moderate size hail and heavy rainfall.

Latest radar trends along with hi-res models indicate scattered to
numerous showers/thunderstorms developing into a line that advances
northwest to southeast across much of the CWA late this afternoon
into early overnight hours. This solution aligns with the most
recent thinking on the timing of severe weather in the area, with
strong to severe thunderstorms ongoing for the next couple hours in
the Tri-County area, followed by more severe thunderstorms south
into southeast Georgia this evening and early tonight. Conditions
will also remain hot and humid outside shower and thunderstorm
activity into this evening. Thus a Heat Advisory remains in
effect until 6 pm for parts of southeast Georgia and coastal zones
in southeast South Carolina.

Chances of rain and severe weather will diminish from northwest to
southeast as the cold front pushes through the area early tonight.
Some showers and weaker thunderstorms could continue well into the
night closer to the Georgia coast. Overnight lows will cool off to
around 70 in northwest areas to mid 70s in southeast areas late
tonight.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 AM SATURDAY MORNING THROUGH MONDAY/...
Saturday: Backdoor cold front will be south of the Altamaha River by
sunrise. A deep, longwave trough will gradually emerge off the
Eastern Seaboard which will induce weak cyclogenesis along the front
well offshore the Southeast U.S. coast. Models show a moist
northeast flow prevailing between a wedge of high pressure well
inland and the weak low offshore. This will bring an unusually cool
airmass to the region with a risk for isolated to perhaps scattered
showers impacting the coastal counties where low-level moisture and
surface moisture convergence will be the deepest. Pops of 20-40%
will be held for the coastal counties with the highest gridded pops
confined to coastal Georgia. Cloudy skies will linger for much of
the day, although some breaks will likely occur mid-late afternoon,
especially across interior Southeast South Carolina. Highs will
range from the mid 80s well inland to the lower 80s at the coast.
Lows Sunday morning will range from the lower-mid 60s well inland to
upper 60s-lower 70s at the coast.

Sunday and Sunday night: High pressure centered north of the region
will continue to provide below-normal high temps in the lower to mid
80s. Also, drier air will spread across the region, resulting in
unseasonably low dewpoints in the 50s at many locations away from
the beaches and north of the Altamaha River. As high pressure shifts
south toward the region, winds should to some degree relax Sunday
afternoon, a particularly noticeable trend on the beaches. Any
isolated showers should push onshore only into far southern/coastal
counties Sunday. Sunday night, low temperatures will once again
fall into the cool 60s at locations inland from the beaches.

Monday: Dry high pressure will prevail. Temperatures will recover
into the mid/upper 80s, but atypical dewpoints will remain in the
50s away from the beaches.

&&

.LONG TERM /MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY/...
After another unseasonably cool night in the 60s away from the
beaches, temperatures will warm to daytime highs in the 90s and
nighttime lows in the 70s through at least Wednesday. A dry/capped
environment should maintain rain-free conditions through Tuesday.
Then, as high pressure shifts south/east of the region, a trough of
low pressure will develop in the lee of the Appalachians while
another cold front will approach from the northwest. As a result,
temperatures could surge at least in the mid 90s Wednesday, and the
chance for thunderstorms will increase. Forecast uncertainty
regarding the progress of the cold front and associated pops
increases beyond Wednesday. The front could push into the region as
early as Wednesday night or Thursday, then the front could stall
over or just south of the region through Friday. The latest forecast
includes chance pops and a subtle cooling trend for the latter half
of the week.

&&

.AVIATION /20Z FRIDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
A band of showers and thunderstorms is then expected to develop
north and west of the terminals this afternoon/evening ahead of a
cold front that shifts southeast through KCHS/KSAV early tonight.
At this time...chances of flight restrictions will increase
between 19-23Z at CHS and 22-02Z at SAV due to the arrival of
showers and thunderstorms. MVFR cigs should then prevail at both
terminals tonight once fropa occurs. VFR conditions are expected
to return between 14-16z Saturday morning at both terminals as
northeast winds begin to gust along the coast.

Extended Aviation Outlook: VFR. Gusty northeast winds are expected
this weekend as strong high pressure builds from the north.

&&

.MARINE...
This Evening and Tonight: Strong to severe thunderstorms will
approach the coastal waters early this evening and will likely be
ongoing for several hours into early tonight. Strong and/or
damaging wind gusts will be possible with any thunderstorm.
Otherwise, elevated west to southwest flow will prevail this
evening before shifting to the north behind a cold front early
tonight. Behind the front, winds and seas will begin to
build/increase but should remain just below Small Craft Advisory
levels through late tonight. Small Craft Advisories will then
begin in northern waters by daybreak.

Saturday into Sunday: Nasty, early summer conditions are expected
over all coastal waters during this period. A pinched gradient
between inland high pressure and weak low pressure offshore will
support solid 20-30 kt of wind through the period with occasional
bouts of locally higher conditions.  There is still a concern that
some marginal gales could occur, mainly in frequent gusts, but its
proving difficult to determine where the exact pinching the gradient
will be the most intense.  For this reason, a Gale Watch will not be
issued with this forecast cycle. Small Craft Advisories remain in
force for all legs. The need for a Gale Warning will be reevaluated
with this midnight forecast cycle. Seas will build Saturday and peak
5-8 ft nearshore waters and 8-11 ft offshore waters Saturday Night
into Sunday.

Monday and Tuesday: Beyond early week, winds will turn toward the
south, and winds/seas should remain below SCA levels through Tuesday
night. Stronger winds/higher seas are possible ahead of an
approaching cold front mid week.

Rip Currents: High pressure building from the north will produce
unseasonably strong northeast winds and hazardous conditions in the
surf zone this weekend into early next week. An elevated risk of rip
currents will develop this weekend and will persist into early next
week due to unseasonably strong northeast winds, increasing swell
and the June 20 full moon. Elevated, rough surf and strong longshore
currents will also contribute to hazardous swimming conditions.

&&

.TIDES/COASTAL FLOODING...
This weekend into early next week, strong high pressure building
from the north will combine with offshore low pressure to produce
unseasonably strong northeast winds. These winds will combine with
the effects of the June 20 full moon to support minor to moderate
salt water flooding around the times of the evening high tides, as
early as Saturday evening along the South Carolina coast and Sunday
through Monday along our entire coastline. Since the moon will not
reside at perigee during this spring tide, a more significant tidal
flooding event remains unlikely.

&&
