The episode as NWS CHS wrote it up.
Thunderstorms developed during the early afternoon along an inland surface trough west and northwest of the forecast area. These thunderstorms pushed outflow into environment featuring surface based CAPE values of 3500-5000 j/kg over the forecast area. As this occurred new multicell thunderstorms developed and exhibited pulse severe characteristics, especially where boundary interactions occurred. Several thunderstorms produced scattered reports of wind damage mainly along and west of interstate 95 from mid afternoon into the early evening.
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 25, 2:58 PM EST, 14 minutes earlier.
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION...CORRECTED
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE CHARLESTON SC
358 PM EDT FRI JUN 25 2010
.SYNOPSIS...
A STRONG UPPER LEVEL RIDGE OF HIGH PRESSURE WILL REMAIN OVER THE
REGION THROUGH FRIDAY...THEN SLOWLY WEAKEN INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK. A
COLD FRONT MAY AFFECT THE AREA FOR THE MIDDLE OF NEXT WEEK.
&&
.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM SATURDAY MORNING/...
ATLANTIC HIGH PRESSURE WILL HOLD FIRM OVER THE SOUTHEAST STATES
WHILE A LEE SIDE TROUGH EAST OF THE APPALACHIANS WEAKENS A BIT BUT
REMAINS IN PLACE. EXPECT CONVECTION TO END IN THE EVENING WITH
LOSS OF DIURNAL HEATING...WITH MOSTLY RAIN-FREE WEATHER TO FOLLOW
OVERNIGHT. SOME STORMS COULD BECOME SEVERE WITH DAMAGING WINDS THE
MAIN HAZARD. HEAVY RAINFALL CAN ALSO BE EXPECTED DUE TO THE SLOW
STORM MOTIONS. EXPECT ANOTHER MUGGY NIGHT WITH LOWS BOTTOMING OUT
IN THE MID TO UPPER 70S MOST AREAS...AND AROUND 80 TO THE LOWER
80S ALONG THE COAST.
THE HEAT ADVISORY WILL REMAIN IN PLACE UNTIL 8 PM FOR HEAT INDEX
VALUES OVER 105 DEGREES AWAY FROM THE BEACHES AND AREAS THAT
EXPERIENCE SIGNIFICANT RAINFALL.
&&
.SHORT TERM /SATURDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...
ATLANTIC HIGH PRESSURE AND INLAND TROUGHING WILL CONTINUE TO
DOMINATE THE SURFACE PATTERN OVER THE WEEKEND. A PROMINENT RIDGE
ALOFT WILL WEAKEN SLIGHTLY ON SUNDAY...YET REMAIN STRONG ENOUGH TO
MAINTAIN HIGH TEMPERATURES IN THE 90S AND NIGHTTIME LOWS IN THE
MID 70S. DEWPOINTS WILL LINGER IN THE MID 70S SATURDAY AND
SUNDAY... ALLOWING HEAT INDICES TO REACH 105 DEGREES IN MANY AREAS
DURING THE DAYTIME PERIOD. ADDITIONAL HEAT ADVISORIES ARE
POSSIBLE.
WARM AND MOIST CONDITIONS...COMBINED WITH FORCING FROM THE SEABREEZE
PROGRESSION AND BOUNDARY INTERACTIONS...SUGGEST DIURNAL CONVECTION
WILL BE POSSIBLE EACH DAY DURING THE CLIMATOLOGICALLY FAVORED
AFTERNOON/EARLY EVENING HOURS. HAVE THUS INDICATED A TYPICAL
SUMMERTIME POP SCHEME...RANGING FROM AROUND 30 PERCENT INLAND TO
LESS THAN 20 PERCENT NEAR THE COAST.
THE PATTERN WILL TRANSITION ON MONDAY AS AN UPPER TROUGH SHIFTS EAST
FROM THE CENTRAL UNITED STATES. THE BEST SHORTWAVE ENERGY IS
CURRENTLY PROGGED TO REMAIN SW OF THE AREA BUT SCATTERED DAYTIME
CONVECTION WILL LIKELY RESULT FROM THE LOWER HEIGHTS ALOFT. DROPPED
TEMPS A DEGREE DUE TO LOWERING THICKNESSES AND PERHAPS AN INCREASE
IN MID-LEVEL CLOUDINESS.
&&
.LONG TERM /MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY/...
DISAGREEMENT BETWEEN THE MODELS CONTINUES INTO TUESDAY...WITH THE
GFS SENDING A SIGNIFICANT SHORTWAVE NORTH FROM FLORIDA...TRACKING
DIRECTLY OVER THE FORECAST AREA. ACCORDING TO THIS SOLUTION...THE
ENHANCED ENERGY ALOFT WILL SUPPORT SURFACE WAVE DEVELOPMENT ALONG
A FRONT DESCENDING INTO THE AREA FROM THE NORTHWEST. ALTHOUGH
OTHER MODEL SOLUTIONS DO NOT DEPICT THE PROMINENT UPPER LEVEL
ENERGY AND SURFACE WAVE...THERE IS SOME CONSENSUS IN IMPROVED
CONVECTIVE COVERAGE ON TUESDAY AS A RESULT OF THE APPROACHING
FRONT.
HAVE THUS INDICATED HIGHEST POPS OF THE FORECAST PERIOD FOR TUESDAY
AFTERNOON...WITH RAIN CHANCES IN THE 40 PERCENT RANGE. EXPECT SOME
DIURNAL DECREASE IN THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY BOTH MONDAY NIGHT AND
TUESDAY NIGHT...HOWEVER HAVE MAINTAINED AT LEAST SLIGHT CHANCE
POPS OVERNIGHT CONSIDERING THE ADDITIONAL FORCING PROVIDED BY THE
APPROACHING FRONTAL SYSTEM.
WHETHER THE FRONT STALLS OVER THE SOUTHEAST STATES BY WEDNESDAY
AND THURSDAY...OR SLIPS COMPLETELY SOUTH AS SHOWN IN THE
GFS...EXPECT A SLIGHT COOLING TREND MID WEEK UNDER THE UPPER
LEVEL TROUGH. CONSIDERING CLIMATOLOGY...HAVE MAINTAINED SOME
MENTION OF RAIN CHANCES EACH DAY.
&&
.AVIATION /20Z FRIDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
HAVE MAINTAINED VFR CONDITIONS THROUGH THE 18Z TAFS FOR BOTH KCHS
AND KSAV WHILE MAINTAINING CBS THIS AFTERNOON. VISIBLE SATELLITE
SHOWS THE BULK OF THE CUMULUS DEVELOPMENT MUCH FURTHER INLAND OF
BOTH TERMINALS AS SCATTERED CONVECTION DEVELOPS...BUT ISOLATED TO
SCATTERED CONVECTION IS EXPECTED TO DEVELOP THIS AFTERNOON AS THE
SEA BREEZE PROPAGATES INLAND AS WELL. PINNING DOWN EXACT LOCATION OF
CONVECTION REMAINS TOO DIFFICULT TO DETERMINE AS COVERAGE SHOULD
REMAIN LIMITED CLOSER TO THE COAST. THEREFORE WILL AMEND TAFS IF
TERMINALS STAND AT RISK FOR THUNDERSTORMS. OVERNIGHT WINDS AND
CLOUD COVERAGE WILL DIMINISH WITH WINDS SLOWLY VEERING
SOUTHWESTERLY BY SATURDAY MORNING.
EXTENDED AVIATION OUTLOOK...BRIEF PERIODS OF MVFR OR IFR CEILINGS
AND/OR VISIBILITIES ARE POSSIBLE DURING AFTERNOON/EVENING
THUNDERSTORMS. OTHERWISE...VFR CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED TO PREVAIL
FOR THE REMAINDER OF THE PERIOD.
&&
.MARINE...
TONIGHT...THE COASTAL WATERS WILL REMAIN IN BETWEEN ATLC HIGH
PRES AND A TROUGH OF LOW PRES IN THE LEE OF THE APPALACHIANS.
THIS WILL RESULT IN BREEZY S/SW FLOW THROUGH MUCH OF THE NIGHT.
SATURDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY...ATLANTIC HIGH PRESSURE WILL PREVAIL THROUGH
THE PERIOD...ALTHOUGH A COLD FRONT IS EXPECTED TO APPROACH FROM
THE NORTHWEST EARLY NEXT WEEK. WINDS WILL REMAIN FROM THE SOUTH OR
SOUTHWEST THROUGH THE PERIOD. WIND SPEEDS COULD POTENTIALLY REACH
AS HIGH AS 15 TO 20 KT AT TIMES OVER PORTIONS OF THE MARINE
FORECAST AREA DUE TO THE INFLUENCE OF THE AFTERNOON SEA BREEZE AND
NOCTURNAL SURGING. WIND AND SEAS ARE EXPECTED TO REMAIN BELOW
SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY CRITERIA.
RIP CURRENTS...15-20 MPH SOUTHERLY WINDS...A 3 FT/8 SEC SE SWELL...FULL
MOON AND RECENT RIP CURRENT REPORTS...WILL RESULT IN A MODERATE
RISK FOR RIP CURRENTS AT AREA BEACHES THROUGH AT LEAST SATURDAY.
