The episode as NWS CHS wrote it up.
A weak area of low pressure in combination with the sea breeze in a highly unstable environment, resulted in scattered severe thunderstorms across southern South Carolina.
The local office's own words before the first event, 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 the first event at Jun 20, 9:50 AM EST, 1 hour earlier.
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE CHARLESTON SC 1050 AM EDT FRI JUN 20 2008 .SYNOPSIS... WEAK LOW PRES WILL MEANDER OVER THE SE U.S. THROUGH THIS WEEKEND. A SERIES OF WEAKENING COLD FRONTS WILL MOVE THROUGH THE AREA SUNDAY THROUGH MONDAY. HIGH PRESSURE WILL THEN BUILD OVER THE AREA DURING THE MIDDLE OF NEXT WEEK. && .NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 PM THIS EVENING/... THE 14Z SURFACE MAP SHOWS A WEAK AREA OF LOW PRESSURE ACROSS SE GA WITH A TROUGH EXTENDING NWD ACROSS SE SC. ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS HAD ALREADY DEVELOPED ACROSS THE AREA THIS MORNING...A PRECURSOR TO ANOTHER ACTIVE DAY. SCENARIO TODAY APPEARS SIMILAR TO THAT OF THURSDAY...WITH AN UPPER TROUGH PERSISTING OVER THE REGION...ACCOMPANIED BY AN INLAND SURFACE TROUGH AND A PROGRESSIVE AFTERNOON/EVENING SEA BREEZE BOUNDARY. BY EARLY AFTERNOON... SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS WILL AGAIN FIRE ALONG THE SEA BREEZE... WHICH WILL ADVANCE INLAND WITHIN AN ENVIRONMENT FEATURING SBCAPES 1500-2500 J/KG AND LIFTED INDICES -4 TO -6. GIVEN EXPECTED WET BULB ZERO HEIGHTS 9.5-10.5 KFT...-10C TO -30C CAPES 400-800 J/KG AND DOWNBURST CAPES AS HIGH AS 1500 J/KG...ANY PULSE THUNDERSTORMS MAY PRODUCE LARGE HAIL AND DAMAGING MICROBURSTS. HOWEVER...AS WAS THE CASE THURSDAY...THUNDERSTORMS DEVELOPING ALONG THE SEA BREEZE WILL PUSH BACK TOWARD THE COAST DUE TO THE W/NW STEERING FLOW ALOFT. THE RESULTING ENHANCED LOW LEVEL STORM INFLOW/ HELICITY...ACCOMPANIED BY 0-6 KM BULK SHEAR 30-40 KNOTS...MAY SUPPORT ISOLATED SUPERCELLS WITH VERY LARGE HAIL...MORE PERSISTENT DAMAGING MICROBURSTS AND EVEN A BRIEF TORNADO. A COUPLE OF PARAMETERS DIFFER FROM THURSDAY AND MAY RESULT IN FEWER SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS. SPECIFICALLY...THE LATEST MODEL GUIDANCE SUGGESTS THAT 500 MB TEMPS WILL WARM A DEGREE OR TWO THIS AFTERNOON... POSSIBLY RESULTING IN SLIGHTLY LOWER MID-LEVEL LAPSE RATES. ALSO...THE SIGNIFICANT DEWPOINT BOUNDARY WHICH SEPARATED DEWPOINTS IN THE 40S/50S WEST TO THE 60S/70S EAST MAY BE LOCATED SLIGHTLY FARTHER INLAND THIS AFTERNOON...LEAVING ONLY THE SEA BREEZE AND CONVECTIVE OUTFLOW TO INITIATE CONVECTION. WILL CONTINUE MENTION OF THE POTENTIAL FOR ISOLATED SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS WITHIN THE HAZARDOUS WEATHER OUTLOOK /HWO/. && .SHORT TERM /6 PM THIS EVENING THROUGH 6 AM SATURDAY/... STRONGEST CONVECTION SHOULD DIMINISH WITH DIURNAL STABILIZATION THIS EVENING. HOWEVER...0Z GUIDANCE HINTS AT LINGERING INSTABILITY... ISENTROPIC ASCENT AND LOW LEVEL CONVERGENCE/MOISTURE ADVECTION. THUS...MAINTAINED SLIGHT CHANCE POPS OVERNIGHT. && .LONG TERM /SATURDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/... AS ONE DEEP LONGWAVE TROF MOVES OFFSHORE SAT MRNG...ANOTHER LONGWAVE TROF WILL DEEPEN OVER THE GREAT LAKES WITH ITS AXIS SWINGING THROUGH THE MID AND LOWER MISS RIVER VALLEYS. UNDER THE TROF NEAR THE SFC...A DIFFUSE FRONTAL BOUNDARY NEARLY PARALLEL TO THE FL PANHANDLE WILL DEVELOP AN AREA OF LOW PRESSURE ALONG IT OVER S GA SAT AND SHIFT NEWD THROUGH SUN. THIS WILL THEN BRING THE FNTL BNDRY N...SO CONVERGENCE AT THE SFC WILL INCREASE WITHIN THE DEEP MOISTURE PROGGED TO BE IN PLACE. WHILE THE DEEP UPPER TROF WILL STILL REMAIN W OF THE CWFA SAT...PLENTY OF SHORTWAVES WILL PUSH THROUGH THAT WILL HELP TRIGGER SHWR/TSTM ACTIVITY WITH THE SFC FRONTAL BOUNDARY AND THE EXPECTED DIURNAL SEABREEZE. AM NOT QUITE CONFIDENT TO GO WITH LIKELY POPS DUE TO HIGH UNCERTAINTY WITH PRECIP COVERAGE...BUT WILL MAINTAIN HIGH/MID CHC POPS FOR SAT. WITH THE MAIN TROF APPROACHING AND NUMEROUS SURFACE BOUNDARIES REMAINING IN PLACE THROUGH SUN... WILL KEEP THE MID/HIGH CHC POPS GOING THROUGH SUN. ALONG WITH THE COVERAGE QUESTIONS...THERE IS THE QUESTION OF STORM STRENGTH AND POTENTIAL FOR SEVERE WX. WITH THE NUMEROUS BOUNDARIES IN PLACE...THE UPPER SHORTWAVES COMING THROUGH AND DEEP MOISTURE IN PLACE...THE INGREDIENTS ARE THERE TO AT LEAST HAVE ISOLD SEVERE TSTMS. LOW TO MID LEVEL LAPSE RATES LOOK TO REMAIN STEEP AND LOW LEVEL JETTING AHEAD OF THE DEEP TROUGH MAY BE NEAR ENOUGH TO ALSO BE A PLAYER. SPC SWODY2 CURRENTLY HAS THE AREA UNDER A SEE TEXT...BUT IS RESERVING THE RIGHT TO UPGRADE LATER. WILL CONTINUE TO HIGHLIGHT THE POTENTIAL FOR SEVERE WX IN THE HWO. ONCE THIS STRONG TROF AXIS PUSHES OFFSHORE SUN NIGHT...ANOTHER DEEP LONGWAVE TROF AXIS WILL PUSH THROUGH THE SOUTHEAST STATES MON INTO MON NIGHT...KEEPING AT LEAST SLGT CHC POPS GOING FOR MON INTO MON NIGHT. THERE ARE SIGNALS OF VARYING STRENGTH OF THIS LAST TROUGH AMONG THE LONGER RANGE MODELS...SO AM HESITANT TO RAISE POPS ATTM. ONCE THIS TROUGH MOVES OFFSHORE...THEN SFC HIGH PRESSURE WITH WEAK UPPER LEVEL RIDGING WILL MOVE OVER THE AREA MAKING THE ONLY FEATURE FOR THE PROMOTION OF SHWRS/TSTMS THROUGH MIDWEEK THE DIURNAL SEABREEZE. THUS...HAVE TUNED POPS AS SUCH BY FOCUSING POPS MAINLY DURING THE AFTN AND EVE HOURS EACH DAY. TEMPS WILL GENERALLY RUN WITHIN A FEW DEGREES OF NORMAL EACH DAY THROUGH THIS WEEKEND INTO THE FIRST HALF OF NEXT WEEK. && .AVIATION /14Z FRIDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/... CANNOT RULE OUT A SHOWER/THUNDERSTORM IN THE VICINITY OF EITHER TERMINAL THIS MORNING...DUE TO A WEAK SURFACE TROUGH AND AN UNSTABLE AIRMASS. HOWEVER...MOST CONVECTION WILL OCCUR THIS AFTERNOON/EARLY EVENING...AS THE SCENARIO APPEARS SIMILAR TO THAT OF THURSDAY AFTERNOON/EVENING. THUNDERSTORMS WILL INITIATE ALONG THE SEA BREEZE AND WILL MOVE TOWARD THE E/SE. 12Z TAFS CONTINUE TO INDICATE VCTS AT BOTH SITES DURING THE 16-23Z TIME FRAME. EITHER SITE COULD BE DIRECTLY IMPACTED BY THUNDERSTORMS...THUS EXPECT AMENDMENTS TODAY AS DICTATED BY NEAR TERM CONVECTIVE TRENDS. THEN...THE 12Z FORECAST INDICATES A TYPICAL DIURNAL DISSIPATION OF THUNDERSTORMS THIS EVENING. HOWEVER...00Z-06Z GUIDANCE HINTS AT CONVECTION PERSISTING INTO THE NIGHT...AND LATER FORECAST ADJUSTMENTS MAY BE REQUIRED. EXTENDED AVIATION OUTLOOK...OCCASIONAL MVFR OR LOWER CONDITIONS MAY DEVELOP IN SHOWERS/THUNDERSTORMS SAT THROUGH SUN. MAINLY VFR CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED EARLY NEXT WEEK. && .MARINE... S/SE WINDS MAY DIMINISH SOMEWHAT FOR A TIME THIS MORNING. THEN...SEA BREEZE ENHANCEMENT WILL INCREASE WINDS TO AROUND 15 KNOTS THIS AFTERNOON. A DIURNAL SURGE MAY PUSH S WINDS INTO THE 15-20 KT RANGE TONIGHT. SEAS WILL AVERAGE 2-3 FT THROUGH TONIGHT...ALTHOUGH MAY REACH 4 FT BEYOND 20 NM OUT OVERNIGHT. A SERIES OF WEAK LOW PRESSURE SYSTEMS AND ASSOCIATED COLD FRONTS WILL PUSH THROUGH THE WATERS OVER THE WEEKEND THROUGH THE START OF NEXT WEEK. NONE LOOK IMPRESSIVE ENOUGH ATTM TO BRING WINDS AND/OR WAVES TO SCA LEVELS...BUT THERE WILL BE ENOUGH OF A SURGE LATE SAT THROUGH SAT EVE AS A LOW PRES CENTER MOVES NE AND BRINGS A FRONT INTO THE WATERS THAT WIND SPEEDS OVER THE OUTER GA WATERS MAY OCNLY REACH 20 KT. HOWEVER...THE PREVAILING SPEEDS WILL BE BELOW THAT LEVEL SO WILL CAP SPEEDS AT 15-20KT. THERE ALSO DOES NOT APPEAR TO BE ANY PROLONGED ONSHORE FETCHES TO ALLOW SEAS TO BUILD TO ANY GREAT DEGREE SO WILL CAP SEAS AT 5 FT. THIS SERIES OF DISTURBANCES WILL EVENTUALLY PUSH COMPLETELY AWAY FROM THE WATERS BY LATE MON NIGHT INTO TUE MORNING...ALLOWING HIGH PRES TO MOVE INTO THE WATERS. BOTH WINDS AND WAVES WILL GRADUALLY SUBSIDE BY THE MIDDLE OF NEXT WEEK IN RESPONSE TO THIS CHANGE. && .CHS WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... GA...NONE. SC...NONE. MARINE...NONE. &&
