$$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 Dec 23, 9:50 AM EST, 34 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Dec 23, 9:50 AM EST, 34 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Charleston SC 950 AM EST Sun Dec 23 2018 .SYNOPSIS... High pressure across the area today will give way to a weak cold front that moves through tonight. High pressure will then prevail through the middle of the week. A cold front will stall over or close to the region Thursday before lifting north as a warm front by Friday. Another cold front will linger nearby next weekend. && .NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/... Late this morning: No changes needed to a very quiet forecast. Clear skies prevail and temperatures are quickly warming with full sun. High clouds will likely start to push in from the west late in the day, but will have no impact on the forecast. Previous discussion continues below. Today: Surface high pressure across SE GA will migrate southward ahead of an approaching cold front from the Lower Gulf Coast to Tennessee Valley regions. A progressive mid level short wave moving out of the South Central Plains early this morning, is forecast to race eastward to the Mid Atlc region by this evening. Our area can expect to see mainly clear skies with a late day increase in some thin high clouds from the west. Abundant sunshine and warmer low levels should result in milder temps this afternoon with readings warming to the lower and mid 60s. Tonight: The mid-level short wave passing to the north will generally dampen and have very little opportunity to tap any significant gulf moisture and it's attendant cold front is still expected to be dry passage across our forecast area overnight. In the evening, we could see a few sprinkles approaching our inland zones as a pocket of shallow moisture shifts into the CSRA and western SC Midlands. It looks doubtful any patchy light showers will reach our inland zones and we maintained the dry forecast. Periods of clouds in the weak warm air advection regime during the evening will set the stage for a slightly milder overnight. The surface cold front will sweep offshore between midnight and sunrise with cooler air arriving late. && .SHORT TERM /MONDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/... Monday: High pressure will cover the Southeast as zonal flow prevails aloft. The absence of moisture and large scale subsidence will keep conditions rainfree, while a deep westerly flow and H8 temps that moderate to around 6-7C will support max temps of 60-64F. The surface high settles over the region Monday night, allowing for decoupling as winds go light or calm inland. Under mainly clear skies and with low dew points, good radiational cooling will occur, allowing for lows down into the mid and upper 30s most places. The exceptions will be near and along the coast where a light onshore flow will hold temps to 40-44F from Hunting Island to Sapelo. Tuesday: Another quiet day, weather-wise, under the influence of surface high pressure and zonal flow aloft. PWat less than 1/2 inch and the lack of forcing will generate yet another rainfree day, although some return flow off the Atlantic will produce few to scattered stratocumulus cloudiness. Building heights and H8 temps reaching 7-8C will be offset somewhat by a low level easterly flow, so max temps won't be much different than on Monday. Wednesday: The mid and upper pattern becomes more amplified, as a deep trough is situated in the Rockies, while ridging covers much of the eastern half of the country. The surface high over the local area will become absorbed by an even stronger high near the upper Great Lakes, allowing for the development of a subtle trough offshore. While there is an increase in moisture within the boundary layer and also above H5, the lack of forcing suggests that we will get by with yet another day void of rainfall. Despite more cloud cover, H5 heights of 5780-5800 meters and H8 temps of 7-9C will support max temps inland from the coast reaching the mid and upper 60s. && .LONG TERM /WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY/... The second part of the upcoming week into next weekend looks to be more unsettled, with higher rain chances, but also even warmer conditions. The mean mid and upper pattern shows ridging in the east and troughing in the west. A rather complex frontal system will hold over or near the area, first in the form of a cold front that stalls nearby Thursday, shifts north as a warm front by Friday, and is then followed by another cold front that drops in next weekend. A deep southwest flow from the Gulf of Mexico, boosting PWat to around as great as it can get in December, will yield at least scattered to likely PoP into next weekend. There remains adequate instability for mention of isolated t-storms, and also some concern for localized flooding. Above normal H5 heights and H8 temps will equate to even warmer weather through the period. && .AVIATION /15Z SUNDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/... VFR conditions will prevail at KCHS and KSAV through 03Z Monday. There are some low probabilities of MVFR cigs overnight at both terminals, but we opted for VFR conditions to prevail for the late evening and overnight period. Extended Aviation Outlook: VFR into Wednesday, with the potential for flight restrictions due to showers in association with a frontal system Thursday. && .MARINE... The weekend should end on tranquil note across the waters as a weak pressure pattern prevails. Light NW-W flow this morning will back to SW this afternoon. Speeds should be less than 10 kt and seas 1-2 ft on average. Tonight, SW flow ahead of a cold front will increase into the 10-15 kt range but anything stronger would be well offshore closer to the Gulf Stream where mixing/warmer waters co-exist. Seas will range from 2-3 ft near shore to 3-4 ft well offshore. A cold front will move through the waters late with the flow veering northwest and a bit more surging over cooler shelf waters (closer to 15 kt with gusts to 20 kt beyond the pilot buoys). Monday through Tuesday: Continental high pressure centered in Tennessee at the start of the period will shift to near the Great Dismal Swamp by nightfall Tuesday. No marine headlines will be necessary during this time. Wednesday through Friday: A weak coastal trough nearby during the middle of the week will transition into a warm front that lifts north of the waters by Friday. During this time an inland wedge of high pressure will be found, and there is a tight packing of the pressure gradient between these features which will lead to stronger winds and rising seas. Small Craft Advisories will likely become necessary, along with some chance for t-storms by late week. && .TIDES/COASTAL FLOODING... Tides will already be elevated early in the week due to the Perigean Spring tides, and with onshore winds developing and strengthening during the mid and late week, there will be the concern of minor coastal flooding. Coastal Flood Advisories could be required. && .CHS WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... GA...None. SC...None.
