The episode as NWS CHS wrote it up.
A short wave trough was a catalyst for convection just west of the forecast area in the late afternoon. The convection became organized and progressed toward the coast through the evening, with numerous boundary interactions taking place while this occurred. The airmass was unstable with steep low-level lapse rates and favorable DCAPE values supportive of strong downdrafts.
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 Aug 9, 2:39 PM EST, 2 hours 26 minutes earlier.
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE CHARLESTON SC
339 PM EDT TUE AUG 9 2011
.SYNOPSIS...
A WEAK COLD FRONT WILL APPROACH FROM THE NORTHWEST TONIGHT BEFORE
STALLING NEARBY WEDNESDAY. THE FRONT WILL PUSH THROUGH WEDNESDAY
NIGHT FOLLOWED BY HIGH PRESSURE MOVING IN FROM THE NORTH. ANOTHER
COLD FRONT MAY AFFECT THE AREA EARLY NEXT WEEK.
&&
.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM WEDNESDAY MORNING/...
SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ARE BEGINNING TO FIRE MOSTLY SOUTH AND
WEST OF THE FORECAST AREA WHERE MORE INSTABILITY RESIDES. THIS
ACTIVITY IS EXPECTED TO TRANSLATE EAST TOWARD THE COAST THROUGH
THIS EVENING AHEAD OF AN APPROACHING SHORTWAVE TROUGH OF LOW
PRESSURE...POSSIBLY COMBINING WITH ISOLATED ACTIVITY FIRING ACROSS
THE AREA ALONG THE SEA BREEZE AND POSSIBLY THE LAKE BREEZE.
COVERAGE SHOULD BE BEST ACROSS SOUTHEAST GEORGIA AND INTERIOR
PORTIONS OF THE FORECAST AREA AND THIS IS WHERE WE HAVE THE
HIGHEST RAIN CHANCES /30 PERCENT/ THROUGH THIS EVENING. ELSEWHERE
WILL MAINTAIN RAIN CHANCES AT 20 PERCENT. ANY STORMS WILL BE
CAPABLE OF PRODUCING HEAVY RAINFALL AND DAMAGING WINDS AND WILL
CONTINUE TO MENTION THE THREAT FOR SEVERE WEATHER IN THE HAZARDOUS
WEATHER OUTLOOK...MOSTLY WEST OF I-95. RAIN CHANCES WILL DIMINISH
OVERNIGHT. LINGERING CLOUD COVER AHEAD OF A SURFACE TROUGH OF LOW
PRESSURE AS WELL AS DECENT LOW- LEVEL WINDS WILL HELP KEEP
TEMPERATURES MILD...WITH LOWS GENERALLY IN THE MID TO UPPER
70S...WARMEST NEAR THE COAST.
&&
.SHORT TERM /WEDNESDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/...
WEDNESDAY...A FAST ZONAL FLOW ALOFT COUPLED WITH DOWNSLOPE
TRAJECTORIES AND DRY MID-LEVEL AIR WILL SUPPORT A MAINLY DRY
FORECAST. THERE ARE SOME SIGNALS THAT THERE MAY BE JUST ENOUGH
LOW-LEVEL CONVERGENCE ALONG THE UPPER GEORGIA COAST TO SUPPORT
ISOLATED SHOWERS/TSTMS FOR A FEW HOURS DURING THE LATE AFTERNOON
HOURS...SO SLIGHT CHANCE POPS WILL BE MAINTAINED ALONG THE I-95
CORRIDOR FROM SAVANNAH SOUTH TO DARIEN WITH DRY CONDITIONS
ELSEWHERE. A SOLID OFFSHORE FLOW WILL DOMINATE FOR MUCH OF THE DAY
WHICH WILL LIKELY PIN THE SEA BREEZE TO THE BEACHES. FORECAST
SOUNDING SUPPORT HIGHS FROM THE UPPER 90S TO NEAR 100 DEGREES INLAND
WITH MID 90S AT THE BEACHES. DEWPOINTS LOOK TO MIX OUT SUFFICIENTLY
TO KEEP HEAT INDICES BELOW HEAT ADVISORY CRITERIA. LOWS WILL RANGE
FROM THE LOWER 70S INLAND TO THE MID-UPPER 70S AT THE BEACHES. A
WEAK TROUGH OF LOW PRESSURE WILL PUSH OFFSHORE LATE WEDNESDAY NIGHT
OR EARLY THURSDAY MORNING.
THURSDAY...A DIFFUSE FRONTAL BOUNDARY WILL SINK SOUTH DURING THE
AFTERNOON AND BECOME STATIONARY ACROSS THE NORTHERN ZONES OVERNIGHT.
MODELS SHOW A LARGE AREA OF SUBSIDENCE/NVA HOLDING FIRM FOR MUCH OF
THE DAY BEFORE A 700MB SHORTWAVE PASSES ACROSS EASTERN NORTH
CAROLINA AND THE SOUTH CAROLINA PEE DEE DURING LATE AFTERNOON/EARLY
EVENING HOURS. THERE MAY BE JUST ENOUGH FORCING ALONG THE TAIL END
OF THIS FEATURE AND LOW-LEVEL CONVERGENCE ALONG THE DIFFUSE BOUNDARY
TO SUPPORT A FEW SHOWERS/TSTMS...BUT IT DOES APPEAR THE BETTER
CHANCES FOR MEASURABLE RAINS WILL REMAIN NORTH OF THE LOCAL FORECAST
AREA. WILL SHOW DRY CONDITIONS THURSDAY AFTERNOON WITH A SLIGHT
CHANCE POPS ACROSS THE NORTHERN ZONES THURSDAY EVENING. IT WILL
CONTINUE WARM AND HUMID AHEAD OF THE FRONT WITH HIGHS RANGING FROM
THE UPPER 90S INLAND WITH LOWER 90S AT THE BEACHES. HEAT INDICES
LOOK TO REMAIN IN CHECK WITH DEWPOINTS MIXING OUT DURING PEAK
HEATING. LOWS WILL RANGE FROM THE LOWER-MID 70S INLAND WITH
MID-UPPER 70S COAST.
FRIDAY...BETTER CHANCES FOR SHOWERS/TSTMS AS THE WEAK FRONT LINGERS
OVER THE AREA AS WEAK IMPULSES EMBEDDED IN THE MEAN LONG-WAVE TROUGH
PASS THROUGH. CHANCE POPS LOOK APPROPRIATE GIVEN THIS REGIME.
TEMPERATURES WILL REMAIN SLIGHTLY ABOVE CLIMATOLOGICAL NORMS WITH
HIGHS MID-UPPER 90S AND LOWS MID-UPPER 70S.
&&
.LONG TERM /FRIDAY NIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY/...
SFC HIGH PRESSURE WILL BEGIN TO SLIDE OFF THE MID ATLANTIC COAST AS
A MID/UPPER LVL TROUGH DEVELOPS OVER THE EASTERN CONUS THIS WEEKEND.
SLIGHT CHANCES OF SHOWERS/THUNDERSTORMS WILL GRADUALLY INCREASE IN
COVERAGE OVER INLAND AREAS AS A LEE TROUGH BECOMES ENHANCED OVER THE
MIDLANDS. ANOTHER COLD FRONT MAY APPROACH THE REGION FROM THE
NORTHWEST SUNDAY OR MONDAY NEXT WEEK AS A LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM SHIFTS
FROM THE MIDWEST TO THE NORTHEASTERN UNITED STATES. HAVE INCREASED
OVERALL POPS TO CHANCE SUNDAY THROUGH EARLY MONDAY AS A RESULT. HIGH
PRESSURE WILL THEN RETURN BY MIDWEEK. OVERALL...HIGH TEMPS WILL BE
IN THE LOW TO MID 90S WITH A PERSISTENT SOUTH/SOUTHWEST FLOW.
OVERNIGHT LOWS WILL BE IN THE LOW/MID 70S.
&&
.AVIATION /20Z TUESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/...
VFR CONDITIONS WILL PREVAIL AT THE TERMINALS THROUGH 18Z/10.
HOWEVER...ISOLATED TO PERHAPS SCATTERED CONVECTION WILL DEVELOP
LATE THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING. ACTIVITY WILL LIKELY FORM ALONG
THE SEA BREEZE...THEN WITH SOME SHORT WAVE ENERGY ALOFT TO MOVE IN
THIS EVENING THERE COULD BE SOME CONSOLIDATION OF CONVECTION. THE
PROBABILITIES OF TSRA ARE GREATER AT KSAV THAN AT KCHS...SO CB
CLOUDS HAVE BEEN MAINTAINED AT KSAV FROM 21Z TO 02Z. SHOULD ANY
TSRA OCCUR THEY COULD PRODUCE STRONG AND GUSTY WINDS AND MVFR
CONDITIONS. LASTLY...AN INCREASE IN LOW-LEVEL WINDS THIS EVENING
THROUGH THE FIRST HALF OF THE NIGHT MAY LEAD TO MARGINAL LLWS
CONDITIONS BUT CONFIDENCE NOT HIGH ENOUGH TO MENTION JUST YET.
EXTENDED AVIATION OUTLOOK...THERE ARE NO CONCERNS WITH A GREATER
THAN 30 PERCENT CONFIDENCE.
&&
.MARINE...
TONIGHT...THERE IS A 20-25 KT LOW LEVEL JET THAT CROSSES THE
WATERS TONIGHT...WHICH ALLOWS FOR SW WINDS AS HIGH AS 15-20
KT...HIGHEST ACROSS THE NORTHERN SC WATERS AND THE OUTER GA
WATERS. WINDS WILL SHIFT MORE W LATE AS A WEAK COLD FRONT
APPROACHES FROM THE NW. SEAS WILL BUILD SLIGHTLY BUT OVERALL CONDITIONS
SHOULD REMAIN BELOW ADVISORY CRITERIA.
MARINERS ARE ADVISED THAT SOME TSTMS OVER LAND THIS EVENING COULD
PUSH INTO THE ATLANTIC WATERS WITH STRONG AND POTENTIALLY
DAMAGING WINDS ALONG WITH FREQUENT CLOUD TO WATER LIGHTNING.
THURSDAY THROUGH SUNDAY NIGHT...CONDITIONS WILL REMAIN BELOW SMALL
CRAFT ADVISORY THRESHOLDS THROUGH THE PERIOD. A WEAK TROUGH WILL
PUSH OFFSHORE LATE WEDNESDAY NIGHT/EARLY THURSDAY MORNING RESULTING
IN A BRIEF OFFSHORE FLOW. A COLD FRONT IS FORECAST TO PUSH INTO THE
MARINE AREA THURSDAY NIGHT...BUT WINDS LOOK TO REMAIN RATHER LIGHT
WITH THE BOUNDARY ESSENTIALLY BISECTING THE MARINE AREA. A BROADER
ONSHORE FLOW WILL RETURN OVER THE WEEKEND AS HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS
NORTH AND FRONTAL BOUNDARY DISSIPATES.
