What forecasters said that day
The local office's own words before this small craft advisory 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 small craft advisory went out at Apr 23, 1:59 PM EDT, 1 hour 25 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Apr 23, 1:59 PM EDT, 1 hour 25 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Charleston SC 159 PM EDT Fri Apr 23 2021 .SYNOPSIS... High pressure will shift offshore through tonight. A storm system will bring multiple impacts to the region Saturday into Saturday night. High pressure will prevail for most of next week. && .NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/... 1PM Update: Minor changes made to the afternoon update. Mainly increased wind gusts along the coastal areas to account for the sea breeze. Otherwise, the forecast remains on track through at least the rest of today. Today: A zonal flow will remain in place across the Southeast U.S. for one more day as surface high pressure moves slowly offshore. A pronounced 850-700 hPa ridge axis will gradually propagate the east over the region. This coupled with the continued presence of dry air aloft will keep rain-free conditions in place yet another day. As the surface anticyclone shifts offshore, expect a moderate hybrid sea breeze circulation to develop during the afternoon; first along the Georgia coast, then farther north along the lower South Carolina coast. Dewpoints will mix out in the upper 20s/lower 30s well inland, but there will be steady influx of low-level moisture behind the sea breeze with dewpoints rising into the upper 30s to mid 40s across the coastal counties mid-late afternoon. Highs will range from the lower-mid 70s roughly along/west of I-95 9 (warmest in the Metter-Claxton-Reidsville corridor) with cooler conditions at the beaches were the cooler, onshore flow from off the Atlantic will keep the beaches limited to the mid-upper 60s. Tonight: A potent southern stream shortwave will move out of the Southern Plains late tonight with its surface reflection moving across the lower Mississippi Valley. A warm front is expected to sharpen across southern portions of Mississippi, Alabama and Georgia after midnight, which will be located roughly along the I-16 corridor and arching up the lower South Carolina coast by daybreak Saturday. Although both low-level moisture and PWATs are forecast to rapidly increase overnight, the strongest low- level jetting and associated warm air advection/isentropic ascent are only forecasted to approach the far southern and western zones right just before sunrise. Therefore, expect much of the tonight period to remain dry with rain chances increasing into the 20-40% range near/just before sunrise, mainly along/west of the I-95 corridor. Will have to watch for possible isolated shower activity streaming into south coastal South Carolina from off the Atlantic, but chances for measurable rainfall look too low to mention at this time. The operational synoptic models do tend to be too slow in the development and movement of isentropically driven showers ahead of mid- latitude cyclones moving across the Deep South, so this bias will have to be watched for in later update cycles. Lows will range from the lower 50s across interior Southeast Georgia to the lower 60s at the beaches, in Downtown Charleston and around the Santee-Cooper lakes. && .SHORT TERM /SATURDAY THROUGH MONDAY/... Saturday: A rather tricky and potentially significant weather day is on tap. In the morning the mid-levels will consist of a weak ridge just off the Southeast coast while a trough is over the Mid and Lower MS Valley. The trough will move to the east in the afternoon, becoming located roughly over the TN Valley and pushing the ridge away. At the same time, a warm front will lift north through our area during the morning hours, becoming located north of our area by the afternoon. A storm system will be to our west and rapidly approaching. The system will have a plume of deep moisture associated with it. A band of PWATs should easily exceed 1.5", with isolated pockets possibly approaching 2". This plume will move east with the storm and over our area. We'll be solidly in the warm sector before this occurs. Though, highs could be somewhat restrained due to abundant cloud cover. Either way, highs should be in the mid 70s across our GA counties and the upper 70s to near 80 degrees across our GA counties. All of the models indicate widespread wetting rains across our area later in the day. But the real challenge will be the severe potential during the afternoon, possibly into the evening hours. Most of the models and ensembles have SBCAPEs struggling to reach 1,000 J/kg and MLCAPEs 500 J/kg. Other instability parameters are either not impressive or vary significantly from model to model. However, there will be a lot of shear. 0-6 km bulk shear should easily exceed 50 kt in most locations in the afternoon while SRH values are also very strong. All of this supports the potential for supercells, including veering winds with height. The various tornado parameters still differ a bit across the suite of models. But most seem to point towards SE GA as being an area of concern. Likewise, SPC has kept our entire area under a Slight Risk. Isolated tornadoes are a concern, especially for our GA counties. But the greatest threat across our entire area will be damaging winds. Large hail is also possible due to the cold mid/upper level temperatures. We'll also note that there are some significant differences between the CAMS on Saturday. Some have a lot of morning precipitation, which would limit the severe potential in the afternoon. Other CAMs hint at possible a round of afternoon convection followed by a second, late evening round more closely associated with the storm system and it's cold front. As is usually the case, it's still a little early to determine how this will work out and what the final results will be for us. Luckily, we'll get some much needed rain across our entire area. Models still keep us generally in the 1-2" range. Though, there could be much higher amounts locally, especially if certain areas get impacted by multiple thunderstorms. However, due to the lack of rainfall this month, the risk of widespread flooding is low as the dry ground should act like a very thirsty sponge. Finally, gusty winds are expected ahead of the convection. Wind gusts are expected to be in the 25-35 mph range. A Lake Wind Advisory for Lake Moultrie may be needed. The main band of convection/showers should move offshore around midnight with a cold front. Drier air is forecasted to move in from the west after midnight. Low temperatures will be in the upper 50s to mid 60s. Sunday: The storm system and it's associated cold front will be offshore in the morning and quickly moving away. A broad area of high pressure will spread eastward with time. Strong subsidence associated with the high will bring our area dry conditions and mostly sunny skies. Thickness values along with some downslope flow off the Appalachians should yield highs in the upper 70s to the lower 80s. Overnight lows will be mild, ranging from the upper 50s to the mid 60s. && .LONG TERM /MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY/... The WPC is forecasting high pressure over or near the Southeast through Wednesday. Likewise, the NBM agrees and keeps our area dry with a gradual warming trend. The next chance of rain in the forecast is on Thursday. && .AVIATION /18Z FRIDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/... VFR. Ceilings will be lowering toward the end of the 18z TAF period as a warm front lifts north. Winds will increase and gusts near 25 kt or greater are likely to occur at both terminals starting around the late morning hours. Showers are expected to approach from the WSW which could reach the terminals a few hours prior to 18z, but opted to leave mention of -SHRA out of the current TAF since our confidence in terms of timing is relatively low. MVFR cigs are likely to coincide with showers; however as mentioned before, maintained VFR through 18Z due to low confidence in timing as model consensus is lacking. More details should come with the next TAF in terms of the initiation of strong gusts, showers, and timing of flight restrictions. Extended Aviation Outlook: A storm system will bring flight restrictions and gusty winds Saturday into Saturday night. && .MARINE... Today: Light winds this morning will become more uniformly east to southeast afternoon as high pressure shifts offshore and a modest sea breeze circulation develops along the coast. Winds are expected to remain less than 10 kt although some localize enhancements could occur in Charleston Harbor and along the land/sea interface with the sea breeze. Seas will average 1-2 ft nearshore waters with 2-3 ft offshore waters. Tonight: Southeast winds will increase to 10-15 kt with gusts to 20 kt as high pressure shifts farther offshore and a warm front sharpens to the south. Seas will build to 2-3 ft nearshore waters with 3-4 ft offshore waters. Saturday: A storm system will approach the region. Southerly winds will rapidly increase during the morning hours, becoming strong and gusty by the afternoon. Steep, wind-driven seas will accompany these winds. Small Craft Advisories will be needed for all of the waters for winds and seas, including the Charleston Harbor. Additionally, there is the potential for a strong line of thunderstorms traversing the waters during the afternoon or evening hours. Gusts to gale force, hail, and maybe even a waterspout are the potential impacts from this convection. The main convection/precipitation is expected to move offshore later in the evening, with drier air moving in from the west late at night. Winds and seas will gradually lower. Sunday: A cold front will be offshore in the morning, quickly moving away while high pressure builds in from the west. Westerly winds 10-15 kt during the day will clock around to the northeast overnight. Seas 3-4 ft in the morning should subside a foot by the evening. Monday and Beyond: The NBM and various wave models are forecasting low winds and seas. No marine headlines are expected. Rip Currents: A Moderate Risk is in effect for all of our beaches on Saturday due to gusty onshore winds and elevated seas. && .FIRE WEATHER... Dewpoints are expected to mix out in the upper 20s/lower 30s across the interior today resulting in minimum RH values of 20-30%. Fuels remain critically low and even with the lack of significant wind, an elevated fire danger will be in place again today. A hybrid pure sea breeze circulation will develop along the coast early this afternoon and push inland. This will result in increasing RH mid-late afternoon across most of the Georgia coastal counties and areas roughly along/east of US-17 in southern South Carolina. A Fire Danger Statement remains in effect for all of southern South Carolina and interior Southeast Georgia per coordination with the various state and federal fire yesterday. && .TIDES/COASTAL FLOODING... Tides could get high enough to cause minor saltwater inundation around Charleston during the evening high tide Saturday. There is also the potential for heavy rainfall during this time which would exacerbate any flooding. Additional minor coastal flooding is possible through early next week, mainly along the southern SC coast. Coastal Flood Advisories may eventually be needed. && .CHS WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
