Widespread surface heating and continued deep moisture advection ahead of an approaching cold front from the northwest allowed for very unstable atmospheric conditions with CAPE values between 3500 to 4000 J/kg Friday afternoon and evening. As a 500 mb shortwave tracked along the southern periphery of a broad through and across the region, severe thunderstorms developed across the area.

The episode as NWS CHS wrote it up.
Widespread surface heating and continued deep moisture advection ahead of an approaching cold front from the northwest allowed for very unstable atmospheric conditions with CAPE values between 3500 to 4000 J/kg Friday afternoon and evening. As a 500 mb shortwave tracked along the southern periphery of a broad through and across the region, severe thunderstorms developed across the area. Severe thunderstorms initially developed along the seabreeze in the Charleston area late in the afternoon. More organized severe storms tracked into the area from the Midlands during the evening and pushed all the way to the coast, with the strongest storms across southeast South Carolina.

NWS Charleston, SC wrote its last area forecast discussion before the first event at Aug 6, 1:03 PM EST, 1 hour 7 minutes earlier.
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE CHARLESTON SC
203 PM EDT FRI AUG 6 2010
.SYNOPSIS...
A COLD FRONT WILL ADVANCE SOUTH INTO THE AREA LATER TODAY...THEN
WILL STALL OVER OR CLOSE TO THE REGION TONIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY
BEFORE DISSIPATING OFF THE SOUTHEAST COAST MONDAY. ATLANTIC HIGH
PRESSURE WILL REGAIN CONTROL OF AREA WEATHER TUESDAY THROUGH
FRIDAY.
&&
.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 PM THIS EVENING/...
WIDESPREAD SFC HEATING AND DEEP MOISTURE ADVECTION HAVE CONTINUED
EARLY THIS AFTERNOON TO CREATE A VERY UNSTABLE ATMOSPHERE WITH
CAPE VALUES AROUND 4000 J/KG. A SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH HAS THUS
BEEN ISSUED FOR ALL COUNTIES...INCLUDING THE COASTAL WATERS FROM
3 PM TO 9 PM TONIGHT.
STRONG SHOWERS/THUNDERSTORMS WITH SOME SEVERE ARE LIKELY LATE THIS
AFTERNOON INTO EARLY TONIGHT AS FOCUSED DEVELOPMENT OCCURS ALONG AN H5
SHORTWAVE AS IT SWINGS AROUND THE SOUTHERN PERIPHERY OF THE BROAD
TROUGH TO OUR NORTH. ACTIVITY SHOULD BE MORE WIDESPREAD OVER OUR
SC COUNTIES AS THE SHORTWAVE ENCOUNTERS THE SEABREEZE. GIVEN A
WEAK WIND SHEAR ENVIRONMENT...WARM TEMPS ALOFT...PWATS NEAR 2.5
INCHES..AND DCAPES NEAR 1000 J/KG...THE PRIMARY CONCERN WITH
SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE WET MICROBURSTS AND HEAVY RAINFALL.
SHOWERS/THUNDERSTORMS SHOULD BE ONGOING THROUGH SUNSET...ESPECIALLY
WITH THE INFLUENCES OF OUTFLOW BOUNDARIES FROM EARLIER ACTIVITY.
STRONG SOLAR HEATING WILL CONTINUE INTO THIS EVENING AHEAD OF AN
APPROACHING COLD FRONT TO OUR NORTHWEST. THIS IS EVIDENT ON WATER
VAPOR IMAGERY ALONG WITH MID/UPPER 70S DEWPTS CURRENTLY OBSERVED
OVER THE FORECAST AREA. WITH SFC DEWPTS REMAINING IN THE MID 70S
THROUGH THIS AFTERNOON/EVENING...WIDESPREAD HEAT INDICES BETWEEN
105 TO 110 F WILL CONTINUE...THEREFORE A HEAT ADVISORY WILL
REMAIN UNTIL 7 PM FOR ALL COUNTIES TODAY. HEAT INDICES WILL LIKELY
BE HIGHEST OVER LOCATIONS WHERE POOLING OF DEWPTS OCCURS ALONG AND
AHEAD OF THE SEABREEZE. SOME RELIEF FROM HIGHER HEAT INDEX VALUES
WILL OCCUR AS PRECIP COVERAGE INCREASES THIS EVENING.
&&
.SHORT TERM /6 PM THIS EVENING THROUGH MONDAY/...
THE WEAKENING COLD FRONT WILL SETTLE INTO THE REGION TONIGHT.
AFTERNOON CONVECTION COULD BECOME SUFFICIENTLY WIDESPREAD TO
STABILIZE LARGE SEGMENTS OF THE FORECAST AREA...PERHAPS LIMITING
COVERAGE OF ADDITIONAL THUNDERSTORMS AND ENDING THE THREAT FOR
SEVERE WEATHER EARLY THIS EVENING. THUS...LIMITED EVENING POPS TO
HIGH CHANCE POPS WITH A MENTION OF GUSTY WINDS AND HEAVY RAIN...
BUT THE LOCATION...COVERAGE AND INTENSITY OF EVENING THUNDERSTORMS
REMAINS HIGHLY UNCERTAIN.
OVERNIGHT...THE WEAKENING/SLOWING COLD FRONT...FALLING HEIGHTS...
WEAK SHORTWAVES AND MESOSCALE BOUNDARIES COULD SUPPORT ADDITIONAL
SHOWERS/THUNDERSTORMS...THUS MAINTAINED CHANCE POPS THROUGH THE
NIGHT.
A FAIRLY WET PATTERN LOOKS TO CONTINUE INTO THE WEEKEND ALTHOUGH
DETAILS ON TIMING AND COVERAGE ARE DIFFICULT TO DISCERN AT THIS
POINT. A WEAK SURFACE FRONT IS PROGGED TO CONTINUE TO SAG SOUTH
THROUGH THE FORECAST AREA DURING THE WEEKEND...POSSIBLY SHIFTING
JUST OFF THE SOUTHEAST GA COAST BY EARLY MONDAY. NO IDENTIFIABLE
SHORTWAVE FEATURES ARE SHOWING UP IN MODEL GUIDANCE DURING THE DAY
SATURDAY WHILE THE FRONTAL PLACEMENT IS HIGHLY DEPENDENT ON
CONVECTIVE COLD POOLS AND OTHER MESOSCALE FACTORS. THE ATMOSPHERE IS
CERTAIN TO REMAIN VERY JUICY WITH PRECIPITABLE WATER VALUES PROGGED
AT NEARLY 2.50" ACROSS THE REGION. THE GFS AND NAM ARE BOTH
INDICATING SOME WEAK JET CONVERGENCE AROUND 250 MB ACROSS SOUTHEAST
GA ON SATURDAY WHICH WOULD NOT BE AS CONDUCIVE TO UPWARD VERTICAL
MOTION. THE GFS ACTUALLY INDICATES SOME UPPER DIVERGENCE IN SOUTHERN
SC ALTHOUGH THE NAM DOES NOT SHOW THIS. THE BOTTOM LINE IS THAT THE
SURFACE FRONT WILL BE DRAPED ACROSS THE FORECAST AREA BUT PINNING
DOWN THE BEST CONVECTIVE COVERAGE IS NOT YET POSSIBLE. THEREFORE WE
ARE CARRYING FAIRLY GENERIC POPS OF 40-50 ACROSS THE AREA ON
SATURDAY.
HIGH TEMPS ON SATURDAY WILL GREATLY DEPEND ON CLOUD COVERAGE. WE ARE
ASSUMING FAIRLY GOOD INSOLATION DURING THE MORNING HOURS BEFORE
CONVECTION REALLY GETS GOING IN THE AFTERNOON. THIS YIELDS HIGHS IN
THE LOWER TO MIDDLE 90S. ANOTHER HEAT ADVISORY IS POSSIBLE...
ESPECIALLY IN SOUTHEAST GA WHERE TEMPS WILL PROBABLY BE HIGHER.
A FEW WEAK SHORTWAVES SHOULD HELP PUSH THE WEAK SURFACE FRONT INTO
SOUTHEAST GA ON SUNDAY AND OFF THE SOUTHEAST COAST MONDAY MORNING.
LITTLE CHANGE IN AIRMASS ON SUNDAY WILL SUPPORT GOOD COVERAGE OF
SHOWERS AND STORMS ACROSS THE AREA...ALTHOUGH WE HAVE FOCUSED THE
HIGHER POPS IN SOUTHEAST GA CLOSER TO THE EXPECTED FRONTAL POSITION.
INCREASING UPPER HEIGHTS ON MONDAY ARE EXPECTED TO LIMIT CONVECTIVE
POTENTIAL TO SOME DEGREE. WEAK ONSHORE FLOW AND ABUNDANT CLOUD COVER
SHOULD LIMIT HIGH TEMPS ON SUNDAY ALTHOUGH WE ARE STILL EXPECTING
90S IN MOST LOCATIONS. MONDAY SHOULD BE A TAD WARMER AS CLOUDS THIN
OUT AND THICKNESSES INCREASE.
&&
.LONG TERM /MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY/...
LARGE SCALE UPPER RIDGING WILL DOMINATE THE PATTERN NEXT WEEK. THE
ONLY WILDCARD IS A TUTT LOW THAT BOTH THE GFS AND ECMWF HAVE
CONTINUED TO SHOW MOVING INTO THE SOUTHEAST UNITED STATES MON OR
TUE. BASED ON THIS...AND THE FACT THAT DEEPER MOISTURE WILL BE
ACROSS SOUTHWEST ZONES...WE KEPT THE HIGHEST POPS ACROSS SOUTHEAST
GA MON THROUGH WED. MID-LEVEL SUBSIDENCE WILL MAKE IT DIFFICULT FOR
MUCH IN THE WAY OF CONVECTION TO FIRE ACROSS SOUTHERN SC DURING THAT
PERIOD. LATE IN THE WEEK A STRONGER RIDGE IS EXPECTED TO BUILD OVER
THE WESTERN ATLANTIC...ALLOWING ISOLATED TO SCATTERED SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS TO POP JUST ABOUT ANYWHERE.
A CONTINUED WARM PATTERN FAVORS HIGH TEMPS EACH DAY IN THE MIDDLE
90S WITH OVERNIGHT LOWS IN THE LOWER TO MIDDLE 70S. GUIDANCE KEEPS
DEWPOINTS IN THE MID 70S DURING THE PERIOD WHICH WOULD RESULT IN
HEAT INDICES OF 105-110 PRETTY MUCH THROUGH FRIDAY. THEREFORE...THE
HEAT ADVISORIES WILL LIKELY CONTINUE FOR QUITE A BIT LONGER.
&&
.AVIATION /18Z FRIDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
HAVE INITIATED THE 18Z TAFS FOR KCHS AND KSAV WITH CBS AND A TEMPO
OF TSRA AS SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS HAVE ALREADY DEVELOPED THIS
AFTERNOON. EXPECT THUNDERSTORMS TO BE CAPABLE OF PRODUCING GUSTY
WINDS AND HEAVY DOWNPOURS...WHICH COULD QUICKLY REDUCE VISIBILITIES.
EXPECT COVERAGE AND INTENSITY OF CONVECTION TO INCREASE LATER THIS
AFTERNOON. SOME MODELS ALSO KEEP PRECIP PERSISTING INTO THE EARLY
OVERNIGHT HOURS AS WELL...ESPECIALLY AT KSAV. WILL MAINTAIN CBS FOR
THE FIRST PORTIONS OF THE OVERNIGHT BUT WILL AMEND IF NECESSARY.
LINGER MOISTURE COULD LEAD TO SOME MVFR CEILING/FOG DEVELOP EARLY
SATURDAY MORNING. HOWEVER...PROBABILITY STILL REMAINS TOO LOW TO
INCLUDE IN TAFS FOR NOW.
EXTENDED AVIATION OUTLOOK...DECENT CHANCES FOR MVFR OR LOWER
CIG/VSBY IN SHOWERS AND TSTMS SATURDAY THROUGH SUNDAY. GENERALLY
VFR CONDITIONS THEREAFTER.
&&
.MARINE...
AHEAD OF AN APPROACHING COLD FRONT...S/SW WINDS WILL INCREASE TO
AROUND 15 KT...ESPECIALLY AS THE SEABREEZE ENHANCES THE SYNOPTIC
FLOW THIS AFTERNOON. WITH THE EXCEPTION OF THE CHS HARBOR...A SOLID
15 TO 20 KNOT WIND WILL LIKELY DEVELOP OVER ALL WATERS THIS
AFTERNOON/EVENING AS THE PRESSURE GRADIENT FURTHER ENHANCES BETWEEN
A BROAD TROUGH TO THE NORTH AND ATLANTIC HIGH PRESSURE OVER THE
OUTER WATERS. WINDS SHOULD BE STRONGEST OVER THE NORTHERN SC WATERS
BEYOND 20 NM FROM THE COAST.
SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ARE LIKELY AS AN H5 SHORTWAVE SHIFTS
OVER THE WATERS THIS EVENING. GIVEN VERY UNSTABLE ATMOSPHERIC
CONDITIONS...A SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH HAS BEEN ISSUED FROM 3 PM
TO 9 PM OVER ALL COASTAL WATERS ALONG THE SC AND GA COAST...WITH
THE PRIMARY THREAT BEING THUNDERSTORMS STRONG WINDS.
8 TO 9 SECOND SWELLS FROM THE EAST SOUTHEAST ALONG WITH AN INCREASING
WIND WAVE COMPONENT WILL BUILD SEAS TO 2 TO 4 FEET FOR MOST COASTAL
WATERS THIS AFTERNOON...AND UP TO 3 TO 5 FEET THIS EVENING FOR
WATERS BEYOND 20 NM FROM THE SC/GA COAST.
FAIRLY WEAK AND ERRATIC FLOW IS EXPECTED SATURDAY THROUGH MONDAY AS
A FRONT DRAPED ACROSS THE WATERS SLOWLY DISSIPATES. WE EXPECT A BIT
OF AN EASTERLY SWELL...PUSHING 5 FT AT TIMES OVER OUTER PORTIONS...
THROUGH THE WEEKEND AS TROPICAL CYCLONE COLIN MOVES NORTH THROUGH
THE WESTERN ATLANTIC. BERMUDA HIGH PRESSURE WILL REBUILD EARLY NEXT
WEEK...FEATURING SOUTHERLY FLOW WITH SURGES EACH NIGHT AND MORE
ROBUST SEABREEZE CIRCULATIONS DURING THE AFTERNOONS.
