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 May 13, 12:24 PM EDT, 1 hour 27 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, May 13, 12:24 PM EDT, 1 hour 27 minutes before

Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Charleston SC
1224 PM EDT Sat May 13 2017

.SYNOPSIS...
Weak low pressure will cross the region today. A cold front will move
offshore tonight, with high pressure to return behind the front through
next week.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...
This afternoon: A complex scenario will prevail, featuring a
wavering stationary front between low pressure near the Delmarva
and a second and weaker low in SW GA sliding east. That front
is located along our far NW tier as of early afternoon, but will
sag a little southward with each passing hour. At the same
time, a positively tilted short wave trough and associated vort
center across eastern GA will shift eastward, reaching our NW
zones by around 18Z, the coastal corridor from Charleston to
Savannah by 21Z or shortly thereafter, but not reaching the
ocean until closer to dark.

The atmosphere has been worked over due to ongoing and earlier
convection in many areas, with upper difluence, isentropic
upglide and deep moisture convergence. This is also producing
considerable and thick cloud cover which has impacted the rise
of temperatures. As such we have adjusted the diurnal climb of
temperatures to delay warming in many areas, and also lowered
maximum temperatures by an average of 3-5F most places.

Adequate thermodynamics and 0-6km bulk shear of 30-35 kt
supports organized multi-cellular convection in advance of the
QLCS arriving with the short wave feature. Despite the extensive
cloud cover DCAPE may climb enough to support a marginally
severe wind potential in a few of the stronger storms. Wet Bulb
Zero around 11K ft is probably a little too high for any
significant hail, although CAPE in the hail growth zone is
600-700 J/kg, enough for at least a small hail risk. Any severe
risk is generally between 2 and 8 pm. Despite the progressive SW
to NE storm movement, there is also a risk of locally heavy
rains due to low level moisture transport and a swath of the
higher PWat's atop the local area. Minor flooding would be the
main concern, but thankfully tides are outgoing this afternoon.

Tonight: The surface cold front will move offshore early, clearing
McIntosh County lastly by 04-06Z. The risk for showers and tstms
will diminish from N-NW to S-SE as this transitions occurs. Cloud
cover will also quickly decrease with time, although soundings
and to a lesser extent the SREF indicates that low stratus will
occur in patches late tonight with patchy fog possible for at
least brief periods is clearing comes a bit sooner. A cooler and
drier air mass will move in behind the departing cold front,
allowing for lows to get down to the upper 50s-lower 60s inland
from US-17, mid 60s along the immediate coast, in downtown
Charleston and near the shores of Lake Moultrie.

&&

.SHORT TERM /SUNDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...
High pressure will build over the Southeastern United States behind
a departing cold front well offshore. Expect dry and warming
conditions through mid week as a large mid-lvl ridge of high
pressure over the Central United States expands east over the area.
In general, temps will approach the low/mid 80s Sunday afternoon,
upper 80s to around 90 on Monday, then lower 90s away from the
immediate coast on Tuesday. Overnight lows will also show a warming
trend, ranging in the upper 50s to lower 60s Sunday night, then
mid/upper 60s Monday night.

&&

.LONG TERM /TUESDAY NIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY/...
Quiet/dry weather conditions are expected for much of the week as
persistent deep layer ridging occurs over the Southeast United
States. The main issue will be warming temps into the lower 90s as
the broad axis of a mid-lvl ridge becomes centered over the area.
Overnight lows will generally range in the mid/upper 60s inland to
lower 70s along the coast. In regards to potential precip, a few
showers will be possible over the Tri-County area on Thursday as an
onshore wind develops in response to sfc high pressure shifting
offshore. However, the best chance of precip should occur over parts
of Southeast South Carolina on Saturday as a low pressure system
shifts off the Mid-Atlantic coast and a seabreeze becomes slightly
more active during peak diurnal heating.

&&

.AVIATION /18Z SATURDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/...
There is a potential for brief windows of MVFR or lower vsbys
in heavier convection this afternoon and perhaps some convective
wind gusts if we manage to see any significant destabilization
of the atmosphere as a wave of low pressure and trailing cold
front impacts the area.

Tonight: Skies will be clearing later this evening and there
are low end chances for MVFR/IFR cigs as an inversion develops
in the boundary layer in the wake of the cold front.

Extended Aviation Outlook:

VFR conditions are then expected at both CHS and SAV through mid
week.

&&

.MARINE...
This afternoon: A wave of low pressure will move east across
southern GA, as a stronger low near the Delmarva lifts north.
Between these two systems is a wavering stationary front that
will lie over or near the coastal waters. The strongest gradient
has diminished due to the slackening gradient with the front
nearby, a weak sea breeze and the broad cyclonic flow around the
low in GA. Outside of convection, winds on average will be no
more than 15 kt. Seas will remain around 2-4 ft within 20 nm,
4-5 ft further out. Mariners are advised that tstms have the
potential to occasionally produce 35 KT wind gusts, frequent
lightning strikes and reduced vsbys in very heavy rain.

Tonight: A cold front will cross the waters this evening,
allowing for high pressure centered in the mid-Mississippi
valley to build in during the overnight hours. The most
significant surging appear to occur between 06Z and 12Z Sunday
from north to south as winds veer northeast behind the front.
Northeast flow should increase to 15-20 KT offshore with seas
3 to 5 FT, highest well offshore.

Sunday through Thursday: Winds/seas will improve considerably Sunday
morning as a cold front shifts well offshore and is replaced by high
pressure. In general, north/northeast winds of 15-20 kt will veer
and diminish to 10 kt or less for all waters. Seas of 2-4 ft will
also subside to 1-3 ft by Sunday evening. Winds/seas will then
remain well below Small Craft Advisory levels Monday through
Thursday as high pressure slowly slides offshore and becomes
centered over the western Atlantic. However, south/southeast wind
gusts of 10-15 kt will be possible each day near active seabreeze
circulations. Seas should be no higher than 2-3 ft for most
waters.
