What forecasters said that day

The local office's own words before this river flood 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 river flood warning went out at Apr 26, 1:22 AM EDT, 1 hour 20 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Apr 26, 1:22 AM EDT, 1 hour 20 minutes before

Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Charleston SC
122 AM EDT Wed Apr 26 2017

.SYNOPSIS...
Low pressure will move further away from the area tonight, allowing
for weak high pressure to return in its place. High pressure will
prevail across the region Wednesday. A weak disturbance is expected
to affect the area Thursday night, followed by high pressure Friday
into the weekend. A cold front will affect the area Monday.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM THIS MORNING/...
As of 120 AM: Satellite indicated that a few patches of mid
clouds is sliding across the Santee River basin. I will update
to increase cloud cover. Otherwise, I will add a mention of
patchy fog over portions of the coastal counties during the pre
dawn hours.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 AM THIS MORNING THROUGH FRIDAY/...
Ridging aloft will be in place across the Southeast on Wednesday
while weak surface high pressure is in lee of the Appalachians.
The ridging aloft will strengthen Wednesday night as the surface
high weakens/dissipates. Aside from some afternoon clouds, the
weather will be dry. Heights and 850mb temperatures should equate to
above normal temperatures, except cooler at the beaches due to the
afternoon sea breeze.

Thursday ridging will move offshore as a disturbance approaches from
the west. Upper level energy is expected to stay to our northwest
and most of the surface energy will follow this track.
Moisture/instability is forecasted to approach our far interior
counties late in the afternoon and evening. PWATs approaching 1.5"
and BLCAPEs approaching 1,500 J/kg could equate to isolated to
scattered showers/thunderstorms in the afternoon and evening hours.
Some convection could persist into the overnight hours, but the bulk
of activity should dissipate as the best thermodynamics shift to our
north.

Friday ridging across the Southeast will strengthen, leading to a
dry forecast. Temperatures again look to be well above normal due to
warm advection and mostly sunny skies.

&&

.LONG TERM /FRIDAY NIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY/...
Above normal temperatures and mainly dry weather will persist
into Sunday. An upper trough approaches early next week with a
cold front expected to push through Monday and Monday night,
bringing scattered showers/storms.

&&

.AVIATION /05Z WEDNESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/...
VFR through the 6Z TAFs.

Extended Aviation Outlook: No significant concerns.

&&

.MARINE...
Tonight: Low pressure hugging North Carolin and Virginia coasts will
lift slowly NE, allowing for weak high pressure from the Atlantic to
fill in across the local coastal waters. The result is for
slackening W-SW winds at or less than 15 kt and slowly subsiding
seas at or below 3-5 ft.

Wednesday through Sunday: Weak high pressure will be in lee of the
Appalachians Wednesday, weakening/dissipating Wednesday night.
Thursday a weakening system will approach from the west, being
pushed to the north Thursday night into Friday by strong Atlantic
high pressure. The Atlantic high is expected to prevail through the
weekend. With the high driving the weather pattern over the coastal
waters the next few days, mainly southerly winds should prevail.
Diurnal fluctuations are expected with the afternoon sea breeze and
the overnight jet. Seas will generally be 2-4 ft, highest across the
outer GA waters where they could approach 5 ft at times.

Rip Currents...The combination of swell impacting the beaches, an
afternoon sea breeze, and the upcoming Perigean Spring Tide will
generate a Moderate Risk of Rip Currents on Wednesday.

&&

.TIDES/COASTAL FLOODING...
The upcoming Perigean Spring Tide and recent elevated
departures will allow for potential shallow coastal flooding
with the evening high tides Wednesday through Saturday. Coastal
Flood Advisories will likely be required.
