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 Jun 10, 7:03 PM EDT, 4 hours 51 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Jun 10, 7:03 PM EDT, 4 hours 51 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Charleston SC 703 PM EDT Mon Jun 10 2024 .SYNOPSIS... A cold front will stall south of the region tonight. High pressure will build in from the north through the weekend, then shift east early next week. && .NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM TUESDAY MORNING/... Although overall convective coverage has not been particularly great this afternoon, several distinct clusters of strong to severe cells continue to impact portions of the area. Mesoanalysis indicates most of southern SC remains untapped with buoyant surface-based parcels. These areas currently have 2,000-2,500 J/kg SBCAPE and Lifted Indices around -5C. The DCAPE remains fairly low over the forecast area which helps explain why we have thus far not been seeing very strong winds with the storms. Nocturnal stabilization is expected to reduce the severe potential pretty quickly here in the next 1-2 hrs. We already see expansive CINH across southern GA where earlier convection has impacted. We plan to start clearing out counties from the ongoing Severe Thunderstorm Watch starting with far southern GA areas and working northward as convection clears the area. Scattered showers and thunderstorms will remain possible through the overnight due to the proximity of the surface front. Low temperatures generally range in the mid 60s to lower 70s. && .SHORT TERM /6 AM TUESDAY MORNING THROUGH THURSDAY/... A zonal flow will persist Tuesday through Thursday while surface high pressure builds in from the northwest. An unseasonably dry airmass will prevail on Tuesday with PWATs dropping below 1" everywhere except near the coast. A decent sea breeze is anticipated in the afternoon. An isolated shower or tstm will be possible near the coast as the sea breeze develops, but it should be too dry to sustain any convection farther inland. The surface high will gradually shift over the Mid-Atlantic region Wednesday into Thursday. Meanwhile a weak coastal trough will develop offshore before drifting closer to the coast. Moisture will gradually increase across the area from the Atlantic, though considerably better moisture will be across southeast GA Wednesday and Thursday. The main forcing mechanism for convection will be the afternoon sea breeze, though there are hints that some shortwave energy will move in on Thursday, potentially increasing convective coverage during the daytime. High temps during the period will be in the upper 80s to lower 90s. && .LONG TERM /THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH MONDAY/... A deep layered ridge will prevail Friday through Monday. However, there should be enough instability in place each day to support scattered showers and thunderstorms, mainly during the afternoon and evening hours when the sea breeze is active. Saturday looks like the hottest day of the period based on the position of the upper ridge axis just to the west. Highs could reach the upper 90s inland. && .AVIATION /00Z TUESDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/... Showers and thunderstorms are expected to blossom this afternoon in vicinity of a stalled front. Guidance is pretty consistent in showing the time period of potential greatest impact being 20-00z. Any convection that moves over the terminals could bring gusty winds and reductions in ceilings and visibility. Bulk of shower/thunderstorm activity should shift off the coast in the evening with VFR expected the remainder of the night and through Tuesday morning. Extended Aviation Outlook: Mostly VFR conditions expected; however, isolated convection could bring brief flight restrictions mainly in the afternoons. && .MARINE... Tonight: Main marine concerns for this evening will be the potential for strong winds and hail within any showers/thunderstorms that move offshore. Special Marine Warnings and/or Marine Weather Statements could be needed. Outside of convection, winds and seas are fairly benign. Southeast winds initially become more north or northwesterly by daybreak with front moving a bit further offshore. Seas average in the 2-3 foot range, with some 4 footers possible in the outer Georgia waters late. Tuesday through Saturday: High pressure will prevail north of the waters through late week before shifting offshore. Northerly winds expected Tuesday before turning back to the E and then S by late week. Wind speeds should generally remain below 15 kt. && .CHS WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... GA...None. SC...None. MARINE...None. && NEAR TERM...ETM/JRL SHORT TERM...JRL LONG TERM...JRL AVIATION...ETM/JRL MARINE...ETM/JRL
