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 Columbia, SC wrote its last area forecast discussion before this river flood warning went out at Mar 2, 7:27 PM EST, 46 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Mar 2, 7:27 PM EST, 46 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Columbia SC 727 PM EST Sat Mar 2 2019 .SYNOPSIS... An area of low pressure will move across the region Sunday providing a good chance of showers and thunderstorms, some possibly severe in the late afternoon and evening. Behind the low, a cold front will move through late Sunday night, ushering in some cooler temperatures. An upper disturbance will maintain some cloudiness and a slight chance of rain Monday night and Tuesday. Drier and colder air expected to work into the region for Wednesday and Thursday, with freezing temperatures expected in the late night/early morning hours. Moisture return expected Friday and Saturday. && .NEAR TERM /THROUGH SUNDAY/... Stationary front remains stalled along the Coastal Plain into the lower CSRA. Satellite imagery showing some mid level clouds associated with showers that diminished in the past hour but otherwise mostly clear skies with some patchy cirrus clouds over the area through midnight. Abundant low level moisture combining with radiational cooling may provide another night of fog and stratus development. Expect a gradient in overnight lows with upper 40s to near 50 northern Midlands to mid-upper 50s southeast Midlands and CSRA. && .SHORT TERM /SUNDAY NIGHT/... Weak upper troughiness across the central CONUS. A fast-moving upper impulse will shift from the Central/Southern Plains east into the Mid-Atlantic/Carolina coast. A surface low is progged to develop in response across the W Gulf coast/Lower Miss Valley and track to the ENE across the Carolinas. Ahead of the low, a warm front will shift north through our forecast area (FA), with a cold front trailing the low working south through the FA late Sunday night. Some shower development along the warm front possible early, otherwise showers and thunderstorms expected to move east across the FA mainly late afternoon and evening. Latest convective analysis indicates weak to moderate instability, but strong shear, providing a severe threat including downbursts and possible tornadoes. Latest high resolution models suggest a convective cluster to our west which may organize into a QLCS as it approaches and moves through the FA. Latest SPC Day 2 outlook indicates SLGT risk across the CSRA into the S Midlands with MRGL risk elsewhere. && .LONG TERM /MONDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/... Front to push offshore early Monday. Low level moisture trapped underneath a mid level inversion along with an inverted surface trough feature may provide lingering cloudiness Monday. With strong Canadian high still well to our NW and strong zonal upper flow over the southern tier of states, will take a while for coldest air to spill over the mountains. Upper impulse crossing the region Monday night/Tuesday may provide some cloudiness and a slight chance of rain. Upper troughiness to dig into the E CONUS late Tue into Wed and will allow surface high center to finally get in here late Wed into Thu. Will have to watch for freeze/frost. NWS Columbia has resumed the Spring freeze/frost program. E CONUS upper trough progged to lift out Thu with upper energy and moisture return coming back into the picture Fri/Sat. && .AVIATION /00Z SUNDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/... Expect VFR conditions will become IFR late tonight. A stationary front will extend through the forecast area through tonight. The front will become a warm front and lift northward Sunday ahead of a strong cold front. The cold front will sweep through the region Sunday night. Fog and stratus will likely become an issue because of high low-level moisture and convergence along the developing warm front tonight and linger into Sunday morning. The GFS LAMP has trended toward more pessimistic conditions. The NAM MOS has been more consistent with IFR conditions developing. We forecasted IFR conditions. Expect diurnal improvement with increased mixing well ahead of the cold front later Sunday morning. The guidance consensus supported mainly MVFR ceilings. Wind will be relatively light with a weak pressure gradient through early Sunday with southerly wind becoming more dominate behind the warm front later Monday. The MAV and MET MOS support south wind near 10 knots. Gusty wind may develop if considerable breaks in the cloudiness develops and increased mixing occurs. There will be a strong low-level jet associated with the cold front. Followed the NAM and included low-level wind shear beginning around 22z. Showers should be most concentrated along this jet beginning about this time which was also supported by the high-resolution models. There will also be thunderstorms but expect these will be scattered with the chance too low to include in the terminal forecasts at this time. There will be a possibility of very strong wind aloft mixing down in some of the stronger showers or possible thunderstorms. EXTENDED AVIATION OUTLOOK...Numerous showers and scattered thunderstorms will occur along and ahead of a strong cold front until around 03z. Low-level wind shear associated with a strong low-level jet will likely be an issue during the rest of Sunday night. Drying and VFR conditions will likely occur Monday. Cloudiness on the backside of developing offshore low pressure may result in restrictions Tuesday. The low should be farther off the coast with dry high pressure dominate and VFR conditions Wednesday and Thursday. && .CAE WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... GA...None. SC...None. &&
