What happened
The episode as NWS CHS wrote it up.
A remnant MCS was driven by a well defined 500 millibar shortwave through the southeastern United States during peak heating hours. Thunderstorms began to develop along and ahead of the remnant MCS where surface heating was strongest. These conditions in combination with 45-50 knots of deep layer shear produced several discrete thunderstorms with large hail initially, then followed by strong straight-line winds as thunderstorm cold pools became the dominant mode of convection.
What forecasters said that day
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.

Area forecast discussion, Jun 4, 9:44 AM EST, 2 hours 21 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE CHARLESTON SC 1044 AM EDT MON JUN 4 2012 .SYNOPSIS... A COLD FRONT WILL GRADUALLY ADVANCE INTO THE REGION TODAY THROUGH THE EARLY PART OF THE WEEK...LIKELY LINGERING IN THE VICINITY OF THE AREA THROUGH LATE WEEK. HIGH PRESSURE IS EXPECTED TO RETURN BY THE WEEKEND. && .NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 PM THIS EVENING/... LATE THIS MORNING...THE PRIMARY FORECAST CONCERN IS THE APPROACHING REMNANT MCS AND THE POTENTIAL FOR SEVERE WEATHER. REGIONAL RADAR IMAGERY SHOWS THE LEADING EDGE OF THE PRECIP IS JUST ABOUT TO ENTER THE FAR INLAND REACHES OF THE FORECAST AREA. AS OF RIGHT NOW...THE APPROACHING REMNANT OF THE MCS IS JUST A LARGE AREA OF RAINFALL WITH LITTLE TO NO CONVECTIVE DEVELOPMENT ALONG ITS FRONT EDGE. HOWEVER...VISIBLE SATELLITE IMAGERY SHOWS NEARLY CLEAR SKIES STILL IN PLACE ACROSS PORTIONS OF SE GA AND THE FAR SOUTHERN TIP OF SC...MAINLY ALONG AND SOUTH OF I-16. WITH THE SURFACE HEATING TAKING PLACE IN THIS REGION TEMPS HAVE ALREADY WARMED INTO THE LOW 80S...AND WILL LIKELY REACH AT LEAST THE MID 80S BEFORE THE EXTENSIVE CLOUD SHIELD TAKES OVER. THEREFORE...THE BEST SURFACE DESTABILIZATION WILL LIKELY TAKE PLACE IN THIS AREA AND WILL RESULT IN THE HIGHEST PROBABILITY OF STRONG TO SEVERE STORMS THROUGH EARLY AFTERNOON. THE INCOMING REMNANT MCS IS BEING DRIVEN BY A WELL DEFINED 500 MB SHORTWAVE MOVING ESE AROUND THE CLOSED LOW POSITIONED OVER THE NEW ENGLAND AREA. UPPER AIR ANALYSIS OF 500 MB AND 700 MB RAOB DATA SHOWS THE ANTICIPATED 40-50 KT MID-LEVEL FLOW...WHICH IS RESULTING IN 35-45 KT DEEP LAYER SHEAR. SO...FROM NOW THROUGH EARLY AFTERNOON THE PRIMARY THREAT AREA FOR SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS IS THE AFOREMENTIONED PORTIONS OF SE GA AND SOUTHERN SC. THE OVERALL TIME WINDOW FOR CONVECTIVE DEVELOPMENT IS BEGINNING TO CLOSE BUT WE STILL ANTICIPATE A LINE OF STORMS TO DEVELOP WEST OF THE SAVANNAH RIVER. DAMAGING WIND GUSTS ALONG THE LEADING EDGE OF THE CONVECTIVE LINE ARE THE MAIN SEVERE THREAT...BUT ISOLATED LARGE HAIL WILL BE POSSIBLE AS WELL. THE GOING FORECAST STILL LOOKS TO BE IN GOOD SHAPE SO ONLY MINOR CHANGES WERE MADE TO POP TRENDS. I DID COOL HIGH TEMPS SEVERAL DEGREES...ESPECIALLY ACROSS THE TRI-COUNTY AREA...IN RESPONSE TO THE IMPENDING CLOUD COVER AND PRECIP. && .SHORT TERM /6 PM THIS EVENING THROUGH THURSDAY/... ALL FORECAST PARAMETERS REMAIN HIGHLY UNCERTAIN TONIGHT AND WILL DEPEND GREATLY THE IMPACT OF AFTERNOON CONVECTION. CHANCE POPS ARE CERTAINLY IN ORDER AS A SLOW-MOVING COLD FRONT SLIPS INTO THE REGION...WITH HIGHEST POPS JUSTIFIED ACROSS THE SOUTH. HOWEVER... PRECIPITATION COVERAGE COULD REMAIN SPARSE IN THE WAKE OF ORGANIZED AFTERNOON CONVECTION...OR ANOTHER CONVECTIVE COMPLEX COULD PUSH INTO THE REGION FROM THE NW OVERNIGHT. THE UNSETTLED PATTERN WILL CONTINUE THIS PERIOD AS A NEARLY STATIONARY FRONT LIES OVER/NEAR THE AREA AND UPPER SHORTWAVE TROUGHS TRAVERSE THE AREA. GENERALLY HAVE THE HIGHEST RAIN CHANCES CONFINED TO SOUTHEAST GEORGIA WHERE DEEPER MOISTURE/INSTABILITY ARE EXPECTED. COULD SEE SOME SEVERE STORMS...MAINLY TUESDAY AFTERNOON SOUTH OF INTERSTATE 16 WHERE THE GREATEST SHEAR/INSTABILITY ARE EXPECTED. TEMPERATURES NEAR NORMAL TUESDAY...THEN LIKELY COOLING OFF SLIGHTLY WED/THU. && .LONG TERM /THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY/... THE PERSISTENT UPPER TROUGH ALONG THE EAST COAST WILL LIKELY SHIFT OFFSHORE FRIDAY...PUSHING THE SURFACE FRONT SOUTHEAST OF THE AREA AND ALLOWING HIGH PRESSURE TO BUILD IN FROM THE NORTHWEST FOR THE WEEKEND. THE HIGH WILL THEN SHIFT OFFSHORE BY MONDAY. BELOW NORMAL TEMPS FRIDAY/FRIDAY NIGHT WILL CLIMB BACK TO NEAR NORMAL SAT/SUN. && .AVIATION /15Z MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/... THE PRIMARY FOCUS FOR THUNDERSTORMS WILL SHIFT AWAY FROM KCHS AND INTO KSAV THROUGH EARLY AFTERNOON. THUNDERSTORMS BY EARLY AFTERNOON COULD BECOME STRONG/SEVERE...POSSIBLY PRODUCING STRONG/SHIFTING WINDS AND IFR OR LOWER CONDITIONS AT KSAV. OUTSIDE ANY THUNDERSTORMS...VFR CONDITIONS ARE FORECAST THROUGH THE 06Z TAF PERIOD. HOWEVER...MVFR OR LOWER CONDITIONS COULD DEVELOP ESPECIALLY AFTER 06Z. EXTENDED AVIATION OUTLOOK...INCREASING CHANCES OF SUB-VFR CONDITIONS MONDAY/MONDAY NIGHT IN SHOWERS/TSTMS ASSOCIATED WITH A SOUTHWARD MOVING COLD FRONT. SMALL CHANCE OF PERIODIC SUB-VFR CONDITIONS THROUGH THU AS THE FRONT LINGERS OVER/NEAR THE AREA. && .MARINE... OUTSIDE THUNDERSTORMS...W/SW WINDS WILL AVERAGE UP TO 20 KT TODAY INTO THIS EVENING...THEN WILL VEER TOWARD THE NW AND WILL DIMINISH SOMEWHAT OVERNIGHT. ISOLATED GUSTS TO 25 KT ARE POSSIBLE...ESPECIALLY BEYOND 20 NM...BUT LOW PROBABILITY PRECLUDES AN SCA. SEAS WILL REMAIN 2-4 FT...PERHAPS AS HIGH AS 5 FT BEYOND 20 NM. THUNDERSTORMS COULD PRODUCE HAZARDOUS CONDITIONS TODAY...ESPECIALLY THIS AFTERNOON/EARLY EVENING. FURTHER...THUNDERSTORMS COULD GREATLY ALTER LOCAL WINDS AT ANY TIME TODAY AND TONIGHT. TUESDAY THROUGH SATURDAY...A NEARLY STATIONARY FRONT WILL REMAIN ACROSS THE AREA THROUGH AT LEAST THURSDAY BEFORE HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS IN FROM THE NORTHWEST BY THE END OF THE WEEK. ALTHOUGH THERE WILL BE SOME WIND/WAVE SURGES DO NOT ANTICIPATE ANY ADVISORIES AT THIS TIME. && .TIDES/COASTAL FLOODING... THROUGH MID WEEK...PERIGEAN SPRING TIDES COULD PRODUCE MINOR SALT WATER FLOODING DURING EACH EVENING HIGH TIDE. HIGH TIDE THIS EVENING WILL OCCUR BETWEEN 730 PM AND 930 PM ACROSS COASTAL COUNTIES. && .CHS WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... GA...NONE. SC...NONE.
