NEDWhat 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 Apr 3, 5:15 PM EDT, 55 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Apr 3, 5:15 PM EDT, 55 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Charleston SC
515 PM EDT Mon Apr 3 2017
.SYNOPSIS...
A cold front will push into the forecast area late tonight then move
offshore on Tuesday, with weak high pressure prevailing through
Tuesday night. A warm front will lift through on Wednesday, followed
by a strong cold front clearing the area by early Thursday. Cooler
high pressure will prevail into the weekend.
&&
.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM TUESDAY MORNING/...
A Tornado and Severe Thunderstorm Watch is in effect for
portions of our area.
Severe Weather Potential: Radar indicates the discrete
thunderstorms ahead of the front are being absorbed into the
squall line that is current moving through our CWA.
Thermodynamics MLCAPEs remain in excess of 1500 J/kg ahead of
the line combined with great low and mid level shear will
maintain these storms until they reach the coastline. The main
threat continues to be damaging winds, large hail, and isolated
tornadoes. As the line moves closer to the coast we will
gradually expire the watches for the individual counties.
Following the line tonight will be the risk of continuing
showers and thunderstorms associated with the front. But this
convection will pale in comparison to what's ongoing at this
time.
Rainfall: A rapid SW to NE storm motion will likely prevent any
major flood concerns. But with PWat in excess of the 90th
percentile for this time of year there certainly could be some
minor flooding concerns.
&&
.SHORT TERM /6 AM TUESDAY MORNING THROUGH THURSDAY/...
Tuesday and Tuesday night: Southwesterly flow will prevail aloft
through the day and the first part of the overnight, before the
pattern begins to amplify late. The frontal zone, and the deeper
moisture and ongoing precipitation, looks to start the day aligned
near the coast or just offshore. At this point it looks like Tuesday
will be dry with any lingering showers confined to the coastal
waters. Warm west-southwest flow will prevail and highs are expected
to top out in the mid 80s. Weak high pressure will build in from the
north through the overnight. The aforementioned front will begin to
lift back to the north as a warm front late, and isolated showers
will be possible across the southern portion of the forecast area
closer to the Altamaha. Lows will be mild, ranging from around 60
north to the mid 60s south.
Wednesday and Wednesday night: Another very active day with
potential severe weather is expected. The models shows a vigorous
shortwave passing through in the southwesterly flow around the main
trough over the Upper Midwest. The warm front will lift north of the
area in the morning and warm/moist environment will become
widespread by the afternoon. Model progs show a rapidly
destabilizing atmosphere with 2500-3000 J/kg of CAPE and 40-50 knots
of 0-6km shear. Wind profiles show good veering of the flow with
height and steep mid level lapse rates with notable amounts of hail
CAPE. Needless to say it looks like a significant severe event is
possible, and this makes sense given the Day 3 Enhanced/Slight risk
for the forecast area. Will maintain the severe mention in the HWO.
Heavy rain and flooding could also become a concern, especially
after potentially locally heavy rain on Monday. Overnight, the cold
front will sweep through late and could bring additional showers and
storms along the actual front. Will maintain a blanket likely PoP
overnight.
Thursday: The cold front will push offshore Thursday morning and a
tight pressure gradient will support strong surface winds through
the day. We could see a few wrap around showers, but rain chances
are limited to the slight chance to chance range. Temperatures will
feel much cooler than previous days, though values will be near
normal. Strong wind gusts are expected and a Wind Advisory could be
needed for gusts of 35 mph or stronger. A Lake Wind Advisory will
almost certainly be needed even if a Wind Advisory isn't.
&&
.LONG TERM /THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH MONDAY/...
A strong low pressure system will remain over the northeastern
states on Friday before lifting out to sea early in the weekend.
High pressure will build in wake of the system and much drier air
will move into the area. Rain chances are essentially non-existent.
Temperatures will be cooler than normal early in the period then
moderate a bit as the surface high shifts into the Atlantic and
southerly return flow sets up.
&&
.AVIATION /21Z MONDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/...
Ceilings have lowered to low-end VFR or high-end MVFR, in
advance of a strong line of severe TSRA approaching from the
west. This line of storms is expected to impact KSAV between
21-23Z and KCSH between ending 22-00Z. Expect at least MVFR
with brief IFR in moderate to heavy rains and potential gusts
in excess of 40 kt. The TAFs will continue to be amended as
necessary. Following the line of storms, conditions will
improve. However, late night stratus will impact the airfields
behind the main band of convection that pulls away after
midnight.
Extended Aviation Outlook: Restrictions in showers/thunderstorms
possible Wednesday and Wednesday night.
&&
.MARINE...
Tonight: Southerly winds have increased ahead of an approaching
cold front. S winds will veer further to the SW tonight, with
highest winds of 20-30 kt to occur. Seas will build considerably
within the favorable fetch, achieving 6 or 7 ft within 20 nm,
but up to 8 or 9 ft on the outer GA waters. These winds are also
supportive of 2-3 ft waves in Charleston Harbor.
Mariners are advised that strong or even severe t-storms are
possible into the first part of tonight. Damaging winds,
frequent lightning strikes and maybe even isolated large hail
and waterspouts can occur.
Tuesday through Saturday: Conditions will steadily improve on
Tuesday as winds/seas come down in the morning. The lingering Small
Craft Advisories for the Charleston County waters and the outer
Georgia waters will end in the early afternoon. Winds will stay
elevated in the 15-20 knot range through the day, but diminish
further overnight. Southerly winds will increase behind a warm front
on Wednesday, and will rapidly deteriorate late Wednesday night and
especially Thursday behind a strong cold front. Winds will be
strongest and from the west-southwest on Thursday in the cold
advection with 25-30 knots of flow expected. There is also a chance
we could see a period of gales. Conditions will remain elevated
through Friday, before improving Sunday as high pressure builds in
and the low finally departs.
Rip Currents: The high risk of rip currents continues into this
evening. No one should enter the surf due to the dangerous
conditions.
