$$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 May 31, 6:09 AM EDT, 4 hours 44 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, May 31, 6:09 AM EDT, 4 hours 44 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Charleston SC 609 AM EDT Thu May 31 2018 .SYNOPSIS... The area will remain between high pressure to the south and low pressure to the north through the weekend, keeping warm and humid conditions in place. A cold front will move through the area early next week followed by drier high pressure into the middle of next week. && .NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 PM THIS EVENING/... KCLX shows a broken line of showers approaching the Charleston Tri-County area from the southwest. This line of light to locally moderate showers will move northeast across much of the Charleston Metro Area through 9 am. Increased pops to 80-90% right with the line itself through about the I-26 corridor then showed a lowering to 70% as the line approaches the Santee River. Deep convection did not develop as was expected earlier this morning, possibly due to extensive dry air noted in GOES- East low-level water vapor imagery. Once the rain moves through the northern zones, expect fairly quiet conditions from mid/late morning into the early afternoon as weak DAVA/subsidence overspreads the area in the wake of departing mid-level shortwave energy. Still expect isolated-scattered convection to redevelop mid- late afternoon as instability builds across Southeast Georgia and another mid-level vorticity center approaches from the southwest. There will be a risk for convective training this morning posing a risk for at least minor flooding of mainly low- lying and poor drainage areas. Morning pops will range from 60-90% across the Charleston Tri- County Area with 20-40% pops elsewhere. Afternoon pops will average 30-40%, highest across interior Southeast Georgia. There will be a bit more in the way of mid-level dry air across Southeast Georgia this afternoon with modified sounding showing DCAPE reaching as high as 1000 J/kg across much of that area. This could support an isolated, mainly low-end risk for damaging wind gusts. Similar to Wednesday, high temperatures will be strongly correlated to the location and timing of convection. Temperatures are expected to be held down across the Charleston Tri-County area where thicker clouds and showers/tstms will linger the longest after sunrise so only expect these areas to reach the mid 80s. Elsewhere, highs in the upper 80s look quite reasonable with some locations possibly approaching 90 across Southeast Georgia where there are signals that some fairly substantial breaks in the cloud canopy could occur during peak heating. Heat indices could approach 100 for much of Southeast Georgia. && .SHORT TERM /6 PM THIS EVENING THROUGH SUNDAY/... Tonight: The risk for convection will linger for a few hours after sunset, mainly south of the I-16 corridor. Some CAM members suggest an outflow boundary originating from possible convection in the Vidalia to Reidsville area could move east and intersect with the pinned sea breeze along the Georgia coast to enhance convection for a few hours there. Will show 20-40% pops for the evening hours, highest in the Ludowici-Savannah- Springfield corridor. Could still see an isolated strong-severe tstm given the elevated DCAPE noted on modified soundings. Debris cloudiness will gradually thin through the night with skies becoming partly cloudy after midnight. This could support some stratus and patches of shallow ground fog, but meaningful impacts should occur. Expect a mainly dry night as PWATS begin to drop and mid-level heights rise. It will be a warm, humid night with lows ranging from the lower 70s inland with mid 70s at the coast. Friday through Sunday: Friday will feature deep layer westerly flow as zonally elongated high pressure stretches south of the area. Overall, it should be a summer-like hot, humid day. Convective initiation will be a challenge, as the seabreeze will remain pinned near the coast, but favorable mid level lapse rates and only weak capping may allow for isolated to scattered thunderstorms to initiate on the sea breeze and outflow boundaries. Given hail CAPE values approaching 1000 J/kg, and DCAPE values approaching 1000 J/kg, any storms that do form may briefly produce damaging wind gusts and hail, with the most favorable environment currently looking to set up across inland southeast Georgia. Mid and upper level flow will shift more northwesterly over the weekend as troughing develops over the eastern US and western North Atlantic. The stronger downsloping component will result a drier vertical profile, but continued warm conditions. Daytime convection will largely be suppressed by capping in place and the continued inability of the seabreeze to penetrate inland. However, shortwaves passing overhead bring the potential for destabilization and convection enhancement, especially if they cross the area during the times of peak daytime heating. Sunday looks like the day of more significant severe threat as a modest pre-frontal low level jet approaching the area could couple with a passing shortwave to deliver a window of significant instability and modest shear Sunday afternoon/evening. However, the northwesterly flow will bring notably dry mid and upper level air, so significant uncertainty remains with regard to the extent of the threat at this point. Convection will generally wane nightly, but POPs have not been completely removed Saturday night to account for the possibility of destabilization and convection associated with the passing shortwaves. The timing of these waves will be further refined in subsequent forecasts. Deep later west to northwesterly flow will bring well above normal temps through the period. Highs in the lower-to-mid 90s and dew points in the lower 70s each afternoon will result in heat indices near to just above 100 each day, through values approaching the June heat advisory criteria of 105 cannot be ruled out primarily Friday and Saturday. && .LONG TERM /SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY/... Significant model changes have occurred in the past 24 hours as large scale blocking and the occlusion of an upper low over the Northeast early next week will keep the Southeast coast just upstream of an upper level trough axis (persistent northwest winds aloft) through the period. At the surface, a weak, mainly dry cold front will cross the area sometime early in the weak, and low level winds will shift north to northwesterly behind it, ushering in a more mild, continental airmass. Overall settled conditions are expected, though with the proximity of the upper level trough axis just to our west, periods of increased lift are possible as shortwave troughs occasionally pass nearby. && .AVIATION /09Z THURSDAY THROUGH MONDAY/... KCHS: Band of light showers will impact the terminal right around 12z. Brief vsbys/cig reductions can be expected, limited to MVFR. Guidance has backed off on afternoon tstm chances at the terminal, but will still need to keep a TEMPO group from roughly 17-20z in tact. KSAV: Could still see marginal MVFR cigs through sunrise. Scattered showers/tstms are expected to develop near the terminal this afternoon. Will probably just keep a mention of VCTS for now since guidance still keeps bulk of the activity outside of the 5 NM airport radius. Extended Aviation Outlook: VFR conditions will prevail through the weekend and into early next week. && .MARINE... Today: South to southeast wind will veer to the southwest for a period this morning as a low-level vorticity center moves north across inland areas. Directions will then back to the southeast along the Georgia coast this afternoon as the sea breeze develops. Winds will remain 10-15 kt with seas 2-4 ft. Locally heavy rainfall will be possible this morning reducing vsbys to 1 NM or less at times. Tonight: A more uniform southwest flow will dominate the overnight period with speeds 10-15 kt. Seas will average 2-4 ft. Friday through Tuesday: Gusty west to southwest winds are possible through the weekend as low pressure makes its closest approach to the area. Currently expect winds to remain below SCA criteria, but gusts over 20 kt are possible at times. Light winds will fill in behind a cold front that will cross the area early next week. Seas will generally be 2 to 4 feet or less through the period. && .CLIMATE... Rainfall today could push the Charleston International Airport (KCHS) to the wettest May on record. Top 5 wettest Mays for KCHS: 1: 9.28 inches set in 1957. 2: 9.07 inches set in 2018. 3: 8.91 inches set in 1967. 4: 8.87 inches set in 1976. 5: 8.30 inches set in 1948. && .CHS WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
