The episode as NWS CHS wrote it up.
A surface trough of low pressure over the region in combination with numerous differential heating boundaries and the inland pushing sea breeze, resulted in scattered thunderstorm development across southeast Georgia.
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 Jul 14, 2:48 PM EST, 2 hours 23 minutes earlier.
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE CHARLESTON SC 348 PM EDT WED JUL 14 2010 .SYNOPSIS... HIGH PRESSURE WILL PREVAIL THROUGH THE WEEK AS A TROUGH OF LOW PRESSURE REMAINS INLAND. && .NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/... CONVECTIVE INITIATION IS ONGOING. SATELLITE SHOWS THE CUMULUS FIELD IS BECOMING ENHANCED AND AGITATED AHEAD OF A WEAK SURFACE TROUGH CURRENTLY EXTENDING FROM JUST EAST OF VIDALIA THROUGH SYLVANIA UP TO MANNING AND FLORANCE AS WELL AS ALONG THE SEA BREEZE FROM THE CHARLESTON METRO AREA NORTH. BOTH INSTABILITY AND LOW-LEVEL CONVERGENCE CONTINUE TO INCREASE PER INSTABILITY PLOTS...SO EXPECT TSTMS WILL CONTINUE TO EXPAND IN BOTH COVERAGE AND INTENSITY THROUGH THE REMAINDER OF THE AFTERNOON HOURS. THE RUC/4KM-WRF AND THE H3R ARE BEGINNING TO CONVERGE ON A MORE CONSOLIDATED SOLUTION AND SHOW THE HIGHEST CONCENTRATION OF TSTMS OCCURRING ROUGHLY 30 MILES EITHER SIDE OF A LINE FROM WALTERBORO SOUTH TO SPRINGFIELD- HINESVILLE AND LUDOWICI AS TSTMS CURRENTLY FORMING WEST OF VIDALIA MOVE EAST AND INTERACT WITH THE INLAND MOVING SEA BREEZE. WILL CONTINUE TO HIGHLIGHT 40-50 PERCENT POPS THROUGH EARLY EVENING WITH THE HIGHEST GRIDDED POPS CLUSTERED ALONG THE I-95 CORRIDOR FROM WALTERBORO SOUTH TO THE ALTAMAHA RIVER. RUC THERMODYNAMIC PROFILES AND MODIFIED SOUNDINGS SUPPORT A CONTINUED RISK FOR DAMAGING WINDS WITH ANY TSTMS THAT DEVELOP. DCAPES HAVE RISEN TO 700-900 J/KG AND WILL BECOME FURTHER ENHANCED THROUGH THE AFTERNOON AS DRY MID-LEVEL AIR CONTINUES TO ADVECT SOUTH. A DELTA EPT NUMBER OF 34C AND WET-MICROBURST SEVERITY INDEX OF 123 ALSO FAVOR DAMAGING WINDS. RUC SHEAR PROFILES LOOK TO REMAIN LESS THAN 15 KT...SO EXPECT PULSE SEVERE MULTICELLULAR CLUSTERS TO BE THE PRIMARY CONVECTIVE MODE WITH SHORT TERM ORGANIZATION POSSIBLE NEAR BOUNDARY COLLISIONS. WILL CONTINUE TO HIGHLIGHT ISOLATED SEVERE TSTMS IN THE HAZARDOUS WEATHER OUTLOOK...BUT HOLD OFF ON INCLUDING A MENTION OF DAMAGING WINDS IN OUR GRIDDED AND TEXT FORECASTS FOR NOW. THE HEAT ADVISORY LOOKS QUITE MARGINAL AT THIS POINT AND WITH SHOWER/TSTMS EXPECTED TO EXPAND IN COVERAGE...PLAN TO CANCEL THE ADVISORY A FEW HOURS EARLY. ANOTHER MUGGY NIGHT IS IN STORE WITH LOWS RANGING FROM THE MID-UPPER 70S WITH LOWER 80S ALONG THE IMMEDIATE COAST/HARBOR. && .SHORT TERM /THURSDAY THROUGH SATURDAY NIGHT/... THE UPPER LEVEL TROUGH WILL WEAKEN AND LIFT FARTHER NORTH BY THURSDAY...WHILE THE LINGERING SURFACE BOUNDARY CONTINUES TO DISSIPATE. RESIDUAL DEEP MOISTURE ASSOCIATED WITH SHORTWAVE ENERGY ALOFT FROM THE DEPARTING TROUGH WILL SHIFT WEST AND INLAND DURING THE DAYTIME HOURS THURSDAY...WITH DRIER AIR SLIPPING TOWARD THE COASTLINE FROM BENEATH A BUILDING UPPER ATLANTIC RIDGE. ONGOING POP SCHEME FOR THURSDAY LOOKS ON TRACK WITH LATEST MODEL GUIDANCE...DEPICTING RAIN CHANCES SPREADING INLAND THROUGH THE AFTERNOON AND EARLY EVENING HOURS. THE BAND OF DEEP MOISTURE AND SHORTWAVE ENERGY WILL SUPPORT CONTINUED PWAT VALUES ABOVE 2 INCHES...AND HAVE THUS MAINTAINED A SOLID CHANCE FOR CONVECTION RANGING FROM 30 PERCENT FAR NORTHERN COUNTIES TO 50 PERCENT SOUTH OF THE SAVANNAH RIVER. SEABREEZE AND BOUNDARY INTERACTIONS COULD PRODUCE ISOLATED STRONG TO SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS...HOWEVER SEVERE POTENTIAL CONTINUES TO LOOK LIMITED AT THIS TIME. WEAK STEERING FLOW...ALONG WITH AFOREMENTIONED HIGH PWAT VALUES...SUGGEST MAIN HAZARDS WITH ANY STORMS WILL BE LOCALLY HEAVY RAINFALL. HIGH TEMPERATURES ON THURSDAY WILL REACH THE LOWER 90S AWAY FROM THE COOLER COASTLINE. HEAT INDICES WILL GENERALLY RANGE FROM 100 TO 105 DEGREES...JUST BELOW ADVISORY CRITERIA. ATLANTIC SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE AND UPPER RIDGING WILL CONTINUE TO BUILD TOWARD THE EAST COAST FRIDAY AND SATURDAY. DEEPEST MOISTURE WILL BE LOCATED WELL TO THE WEST WHERE AN UPPER SHORTWAVE WILL BE PROGRESSING ACROSS THE TENNESSEE AND OHIO VALLEYS. SOUTHEAST SOUTH CAROLINA AND SOUTHEAST GEORGIA WILL FALL UNDER A MORE TYPICAL SUMMERTIME PATTERN TOWARD THE END OF THE WEEK...BECOMING LOCATED ALONG THE WESTERN PERIPHERY OF THE ATLANTIC RIDGE. HAVE THUS ADVERTISED A MORE DIURNAL CONVECTIVE ROUTINE FOR FRIDAY AND SATURDAY...WITH BEST THUNDERSTORM POTENTIAL DURING THE AFTERNOON AND EARLY EVENING HOURS...DIMINISHING OVERNIGHT. MODELS STILL INDICATE SUFFICIENT DEEP MOISTURE TO ALLOW FOR RAIN CHANCES IN THE 30 TO 40 PERCENT RANGE...HIGHEST INLAND OF THE SEABREEZE AND CLOSEST TO ANY INLAND SURFACE TROUGH THAT TYPICALLY DEVELOPS WITHIN THIS PATTERN. HIGH TEMPERATURES ARE NOT EXPECTED TO VARY CONSIDERABLY DURING THURSDAY THROUGH SATURDAY...REMAINING AROUND SEASONAL NORMALS IN THE LOWER 90S AWAY FROM THE LOCALLY COOLER COASTLINE. AFTERNOON DEWPOINTS WILL TREND FROM THE UPPER 70S ON THURSDAY TO THE LOWER 70S BY FRIDAY AND SATURDAY...SUGGESTING A DECREASING LIKELIHOOD OF HEAT ADVISORIES. && .LONG TERM /SUNDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/... DEEP LAYERED RIDGING LOOKS TO SUPPRESS COVERAGE OF CONVECTION THROUGH EARLY NEXT WEEK...LIMITING POPS TO 20-30 PERCENT...HIGHEST INLAND. ONE POSSIBLE CAVEAT WOULD BE A SHORTWAVE THAT ATTEMPTS TO APPROACH FROM THE NORTHWEST ON SUNDAY...POSSIBLY SUPPORTING SLIGHTLY HIGHER POPS IF THE RIDGE BREAKS DOWN TEMPORARILY. TEMPS WILL REMAIN NEAR SEASONAL LEVELS THROUGH THE PERIOD. && .AVIATION /19Z WEDNESDAY THROUGH MONDAY/... AN ISOLATED SHOWER DEVELOPING NEAR KCHS WILL BE OUT OF THE VICINITY OF THE TERMINAL WITHIN THE HOUR. OTHERWISE VFR WILL PREVAIL FOR THE NEXT FEW HOURS. SCATTERED TSTM ARE EXPECTED TO DEVELOP AND IMPACT THE TERMINALS LATER THIS AFTERNOON. WILL SHOW A TEMPO GROUP FROM 20-22Z AND FROM 22-24Z FOR MVFR VSBYS IN TSTMS. ADDITIONAL AMENDMENTS WILL BE NEEDED THROUGH THE AFTERNOON AS CONVECTIVE TRENDS BECOME MORE CLEAR. DEBRIS CLOUDINESS WILL GRADUALLY GIVE WAY TO CLEARING CONDITIONS OVERNIGHT. EXTENDED AVIATION OUTLOOK...BRIEF PERIODS OF MVFR GROUND FOG POSSIBLE AROUND DAYBREAK EACH MORNING. SCATTERED SHRA/TSRA COULD RESULT IN BRIEF FLIGHT CATEGORY RESTRICTIONS MAINLY EACH AFTERNOON/EVENING. && .MARINE... NO CONCERNS FOR TONIGHT. COULD SEE A BIT OF A NOCTURNAL SURGE WITH WINDS AROUND 15 KT WITH OCCASIONAL HIGHER GUSTS...BUT NO HEADLINES ARE NEEDED. THURSDAY THROUGH MONDAY...ATLANTIC HIGH PRESSURE WILL STEADILY BUILD BACK TOWARD THE EAST COAST LATE THIS WEEK...ALLOWING A MORE TYPICAL SUMMERTIME PATTERN TO RESUME FOR THE COASTAL WATERS. THUS EXPECT A SOUTHWEST TO SOUTH FLOW TO PREVAIL...WITH THE SEABREEZE DEVELOPING ALONG THE COAST AND PUSHING INLAND EACH AFTERNOON. WIND SPEEDS WILL GENERALLY REMAIN 15 KT OR LESS...EXCEPT FOR BRIEF SURGES NEAR THE COAST WITHIN THE SEABREEZE CIRCULATION AND SUBTLE NOCTURNAL JETTING. SEAS WILL PEAK AT 4 TO 5 FT...THE COMBINATION OF WIND WAVES AND A 2 TO 3 FOOT SOUTHEAST SWELL EVERY 8 OR 9 SECONDS INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK. && .CHS WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... GA...NONE. SC...NONE. MARINE...NONE. &&
