Strong surface heating along with DCAPES values around 1000 J/KG lead to a favorable environment for strong thunderstorms while an afternoon/evening sea breeze pushed inland over portions of southeast Georgia.

The episode as NWS CHS wrote it up.
Strong surface heating along with DCAPES values around 1000 J/KG lead to a favorable environment for strong thunderstorms while an afternoon/evening sea breeze pushed inland over portions of 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 Jun 12, 4:16 PM EST, 29 minutes earlier.
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE CHARLESTON SC 516 PM EDT SUN JUN 12 2011 .SYNOPSIS... A COLD FRONT WILL MOVE SOUTHEAST INTO THE AREA TONIGHT AND STALL THROUGH MID WEEK. ANOTHER COLD FRONT MAY IMPACT THE AREA LATE IN THE WEEK. && .NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM MONDAY MORNING/... UPDATED FORECASTS TO ACCOUNT FOR EARLY EVENING POPS TRENDS. AS MULTICELL/PULSE THUNDERSTORMS INTERACT WITH THE SEA BREEZE ACROSS INTERIOR SE GA...COVERAGE/INTENSITY OF THUNDERSTORMS COULD INCREASE FOR AN HOUR OR TWO...JUSTIFYING LIKELY POPS FOR PARTS OF THE AREA. DOWNDRAFT CAPES EXCEEDING 1000 J/KG...500 MB TEMPS -9C TO -10C AND MESOSCALE BOUNDARY INTERACTIONS WILL SUPPORT A BRIEF/ISOLATED THREAT FOR DAMAGING WINDS AND EVEN LARGE HAIL. THUNDERSTORMS WILL THEN PUSH TOWARD THE COAST...ALTHOUGH DECREASING INSTABILITY BEHIND THE SEA BREEZE SHOULD LIMIT THE SEVERE THREAT. ELSEWHERE...SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS WILL INTERACT WITH THE SEA BREEZE ACROSS FAR INTERIOR SE GA AND SE SC...WEST OF I-95...INTO THIS EVENING. THINK THERE WILL LIKELY BE A DIMINISHING THREAT OF RAIN ACROSS SOUTHEAST GEORGIA THIS EVENING DUE TO LOSS OF DAYTIME HEATING WITH INCREASING CHANCES ACROSS INTERIOR SOUTH CAROLINA LATE AS THE ACTIVITY ALONG THE UPSTREAM COLD FRONT MOVES TOWARD THE COAST. COULDN/T RULE OUT A STORM OR TWO BECOMING STRONG TO SEVERE THROUGH THIS EVENING WITH DAMAGING WINDS THE MAIN HAZARD AS DCAPES WILL BE AROUND 1000 J/KG. OTHERWISE...LOWS WILL DROP TO AROUND 70 MOST LOCALES. && .SHORT TERM /6 AM MONDAY MORNING THROUGH WEDNESDAY/... MONDAY...THE UPPER LEVEL LOW IN THE SW ATLANTIC PULLS FURTHER AWAY FROM THE AREA...WHILE AT THE SAME TIME THE A DIFFUSE SURFACE COLD FRONT WILL SAG INTO THE AREA. THERE IS A VORT LOBE THAT PUSHES NORTH AND EAST OF THE AREA EARLY IN THE DAY...BUT OTHERWISE NO SIGNIFICANT SHORT WAVES ARE FOUND THE BALANCE OF THE DAY. HOWEVER...A JET MAX DOES MOVE IN AROUND 21Z WITH WEAK UPPER DIVERGENCE TO RESULT. THE INTERACTION OF THE FRONT WITH THE SEA BREEZE...THAT ALIGNS ITSELF NO FURTHER INLAND THAN THE I-95 CORRIDOR...AND THE WEAK UPPER DYNAMICS WILL RESULT IN A SLIGHT CHANCE OF CONVECTION. HOWEVER...THE LACK OF DECENT INSTABILITY AND THE WARM MID LEVELS WILL LIMIT COVERAGE TO NO MORE THAN SLIGHT CHANCE. CONVECTION WILL HOLD OFF UNTIL EARLY AFTERNOON...WITH CONVECTIVE TEMPS IN THE LOWER AND MID 90S. WITH DRY MID LEVEL AIR AND DCAPES NEAR 1000 J/KG THERE CERTAINLY COULD BE ISOLATED STRONG T-STORMS DESPITE THE SMALL COVERAGE. TEMPS WILL BE FAR ABOVE NORMAL WITH A DEEP OFFSHORE FLOW...AND WITH PLENTY OF INSOLATION AND 850 MB TEMPS AS HIGH AS 20-21C WE WILL COME CLOSE TO OUR LOW LEVEL THICKNESS FORECAST. THIS SUPPORTS HIGHEST TEMPS OF 95-100 IN MANY LOCATIONS AWAY FROM THE COAST. THESE TEMPS WILL BE CLOSE TO RECORD HIGHS FOR THE DATE...BUT CURRENT INDICATIONS ARE THAT THEY WILL FALL SHORT. SEE CLIMATE SECTION BELOW FOR DETAILS. THANKFULLY OUR DEWPOINTS ARE DOWN IN THE 60S WHICH WILL RESTRICT HEAT INDICES TO NO MORE THAN 100-102 DEGREES. TUESDAY...A CLOSED LOW ALOFT IS FOUND OVER SE CANADA AND THE NE STATES...WITH RIDGING EXTENDING FROM TEXAS TO HUDSON BAY IN CANADA. THE ASSOCIATED NW FLOW BETWEEN THESE TWO FEATURES WILL PREVAIL LOCALLY...AND SEND A SHORT WAVE INTO THE AREA BY LATE IN THE DAY OR IN THE EVENING. SIMILAR TO MONDAY THERE IS ANOTHER WEAK JET MAX ALOFT AND ITS ASSOCIATED DIVERGENCE THAT MOVES IN WITH THE SHORT WAVE. BUT UNLIKE MONDAY...THE FRONT IS NOW OFFSHORE...THERE IS A MUCH GREATER AMOUNT OF DRY AIR AND INSTABILITY IS EVEN LESS THAN THE DAY BEFORE. THAT ALONG WITH A STRONGER CAP WILL KEEP CONVECTIVE COVERAGE IN CHECK...AND WE HAVE OPTED TO SHOW NO MORE THAN 14 POPS NEAR THE US-17 CORRIDOR. THERE IS AN EVEN DEEPER OFFSHORE THAN MONDAY...AND THIS WILL PIN THE SEA BREEZE VERY NEAR THE COAST IN THE AFTERNOON. THUS WE WILL EXPAND THE HEAT CLOSER TO THE BEACHES...WITH JUST ABOUT EVERYWHERE EXCEPT THE IMMEDIATE SHORELINE TOPPING OUT IN THE MID AND UPPER 90S /MAYBE NEAR 100 IN SPOTS ONCE AGAIN/. WEDNESDAY...THERE ARE SOME INDICATIONS THAT RAIN CHANCES WILL IMPROVE WITH BETTER DYNAMICS ALOFT TO MOVE THROUGH WITHIN THE NW FLOW ALOFT BETWEEN THE UPPER LOW OVER NEW ENGLAND AND THE RIDGING TO OUR WEST. A STRONGER SHORT WAVE IS FORECAST TO MOVE IN DURING THE DAY...ONCE AGAIN ACCOMPANIED BY A JET MAX AND ITS ASSOCIATED DIVERGENCE. THE SEA BREEZE WILL PUSH FURTHER INLAND /I-95 CORRIDOR/ AND MOISTURE AND INSTABILITY ARE AT THEIR BEST DURING THE SHORT TERM PERIOD. GIVEN THE VERY DRY CONDITIONS ACROSS SC /ABNORMALLY DRY TO SEVERE DROUGHT CONDITIONS AS PER THE US DROUGHT MONITOR/ AND ACROSS GA /SEVERE DROUGHT AS PER THE US DROUGHT MONITOR/...WE ARE HESITANT TO SHOW ANYTHING MORE THAN SLIGHT CHANCE POPS. IF TRENDS SUPPORT HIGHER POPS...THEN LATER FORECASTS MAY NEED TO ADJUST VALUES HIGHER. WITH LESS INSOLATION...OUR TEMPS WILL BE A TAD LOWER...RANGING FROM LOWER 90S NE TO MID 90S CENTRAL AND SOME UPPER 90S SW. && .LONG TERM /WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY/... THE EXTENDED PERIOD LOOKS A BIT UNSETTLED FOR THE EASTERN UNITED STATES...AND DIFFERENCES IN THE GFS AND ECMWF MODEL SOLUTIONS LENDS SOME UNCERTAINTY TO FORECAST DETAILS. AN UPPER LOW OFF THE NEW ENGLAND COAST WILL DRIFT FARTHER NORTHEAST LATE IN THE WEEK...ALLOWING ANOTHER LOW ALOFT TO SHIFT EAST OVER THE OHIO VALLEY. THE UPPER LEVEL PATTERN ACROSS THE SOUTHEAST STATES WILL REMAIN NEARLY ZONAL AND PROGRESSIVE...AS WEAK SHORTWAVE ENERGY CONTINUES TO PASS THROUGH THE REGION. WILL INDICATE SLIGHTLY HIGHER POPS IN THE CHANCE CATEGORY FOR INLAND AREAS BOTH THURSDAY AND FRIDAY TO HIGHLIGHT THE POTENTIAL FOR A SURFACE LOW AND FRONTAL SYSTEM TO IMPACT THE REGION LATE IN THE WEEK. THE PATTERN EVOLUTION IS TOO UNCERTAIN...AND CONFIDENCE IS TOO LOW...TO DEPICT POPS ANY HIGHER THAN SLIGHT CHANCE FOR THE WEEKEND. TEMPERATURES WILL CONTINUE TO RUN SLIGHTLY ABOVE NORMAL THROUGH THE EXTENDED PERIOD...WITH HIGHS GENERALLY IN THE LOW TO MID 90S AWAY FROM THE COAST AND LOWS IN THE LOW 70S EACH NIGHT. && .AVIATION /21Z SUNDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/... THUNDERSTORMS COULD IMPACT KSAV THIS EVENING...WILL AMEND AS NECESSARY. OTHERWISE...VFR AT KCHS/KSAV THROUGH MIDDAY MON. EXTENDED AVIATION OUTLOOK...NO SIGNIFICANT WEATHER IS EXPECTED. && .MARINE... NO SIG ISSUES THROUGH TONIGHT. ONSHORE WINDS WILL INCREASE A BIT THROUGH THE FIRST HALF OF THE NIGHT...THEN DIMINISH AND BECOME OFFSHORE LATE AS A COLD FRONT APPROACHES FROM THE NORTHWEST. WITH THE REMNANTS OF THE COLD FRONT TO LIE ACROSS THE COASTAL WATERS EARLY THIS WEEK...A LIGHT PRESSURE PATTERN WILL PREVAIL WITH THE ATLANTIC RIDGE SHUNTED OFF TO THE SE. EVEN WITH SEA BREEZE CIRCULATIONS THERE ARE NO WINDS HIGHER THAN AROUND 10 OR 12 KT THROUGH TUESDAY NIGHT. SEAS WILL BE A COMBINATION OF SMALL SWELLS AND SMALL WIND WAVES...AVERAGING NO MORE THAN 2 OR 3 FEET...EXCEPT FOR SOME 4 FOOTERS NEAR 50-60 NM OFF THE GA COAST EARLY MONDAY. THE APPROACH OF THE NEXT COLD FRONT DURING THE SECOND HALF OF THE WEEK AND THE ATLANTIC RIDGE ATTEMPTING TO BUILD BACK WESTWARD WILL GRADUALLY ALLOW FOR AN INCREASING PRESSURE GRADIENT WEDNESDAY THROUGH FRIDAY...BUT CONDITIONS ARE WELL BELOW ANY SCA CONDITIONS. GIVEN THE LIGHT WIND REGIME MONDAY INTO TUESDAY...PROVIDED WE EXPERIENCE SOME VERTICAL DEVELOPMENT TO THE CUMULUS CLOUDS AND OUR INSTABILITY IS SUFFICIENT WE MIGHT HAVE A CONCERN FOR WATERSPOUTS. BUT THE PROBABILITIES ARE NOT SUFFICIENT ENOUGH AT THIS TIME TO INCLUDE IN A MARINE WEATHER STATEMENT AND/OR THE HAZARDOUS WEATHER OUTLOOK. && .CLIMATE... RECORD HIGH TEMPS FOR JUNE 13TH...
