The episode as NWS CHS wrote it up.
A few severe thunderstorms developed during peak heating hours as a cold front swept through the southeastern United States.
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 1, 3:04 PM EST, 1 hour 25 minutes earlier.
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE CHARLESTON SC 404 PM EDT FRI JUN 1 2012 .SYNOPSIS... A COLD FRONT WILL CROSS THE REGION TONIGHT...AND DRY HIGH PRESSURE WILL PREVAIL INTO SUNDAY. ANOTHER COLD FRONT WILL GRADUALLY ADVANCE INTO THE SOUTHEAST THROUGH THE FIRST HALF OF NEXT WEEK...AND HIGH PRESSURE COULD BUILD INTO THE REGION AGAIN AROUND MIDWEEK. && .NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 PM THIS EVENING/... THIS AFTERNOON...CONVECTION OUT AHEAD OF THE APPROACHING COLD FRONT CONTINUES TO FIRE ACROSS PORTIONS OF SE GA...MOVING INTO SOUTHERN SC. SO FAR THE CONVECTION HAS STRUGGLED TO DEVELOP INTO A COHESIVE LINE AND HAS INSTEAD BEEN SOMEWHAT DISORGANIZED SINGLE AND MULTI-CELL STORMS. THE GREATEST THREAT FOR SEVERE STORMS CONTINUES TO BE WITHIN WATCH 334...BUT AN ISOLATED STRONG TO SEVERE STORM WILL BE POSSIBLE IN THE PERIPHERY OF THE ACTUAL WATCH. BASED ON THE STORMS THAT HAVE DEVELOPED SO FAR AND STORM REPORTS FROM ACROSS THE REGION...THE BIGGEST THREAT WILL BE DAMAGING WIND GUSTS. LARGE HAIL IS ALSO POSSIBLE BUT NOT AS LIKELY. TONIGHT...THE ACTUAL COLD FRONT IS PROGGED TO MOVE ACROSS THE FORECAST AREA IN THE 06-12Z SATURDAY TIME FRAME. ANY RESIDUAL CONVECTION AND LINGERING OUTFLOW BOUNDARIES WILL DRIVE POPS INTO THE EARLY PART OF TONIGHT...BUT WITH THE LOSS OF DIURNAL HEATING COVERAGE IS EXPECTED TO BE ON A DECREASING TREND. I HAVE FAVORED AREAS FURTHER TO THE EAST WITH A SHORT TIME OF LIKELY AND THEN DECREASING TO CHANCE THROUGH AROUND MIDNIGHT. WINDS WILL GRADUALLY SHIFT TO W AND THEN NW BEHIND THE FRONT. LOWS MAY DIP INTO THE LOW 60S FAR INLAND...WITH LOW 70S STILL RIGHT ALONG THE COAST. LAKE WINDS...WIND GUSTS SO FAR TODAY HAVE MAXED OUT IN THE 15-20 MPH RANGE OVER THE LAKE...WITH ONLY MARGINALLY HIGHER GUSTS ALONG THE LAKE SHORE. THEREFORE THE LAKE WIND ADVISORY HAS BEEN CANCELED. && .SHORT TERM /6 PM THIS EVENING THROUGH MONDAY/... SATURDAY...A SOMEWHAT REFRESHING AIR MASS WILL FOLLOW IN WAKE OF THE COLD FRONT THAT MOVES AWAY FROM THE AREA OVER THE ATLANTIC IN THE MORNING. A BROAD TROUGH UPSTAIRS WILL COVER THE EASTERN THIRD OF THE NATION...WHILE WEAK SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS IN FROM THE NORTHERN GULF COAST REGION. ALTHOUGH 850 MB TEMPS WILL DROP TO AROUND 11-12C...THIS WILL BE OFFSET BY PLENTIFUL SUNSHINE AND A DOWNSLOPE FLOW TO PRODUCE MAX TEMPS IN THE MID AND UPPER 80S. WHEN COMBINED WITH DEW POINTS IN THE AFTERNOON DOWN INTO THE LOWER AND MIDDLE 50S...RH LEVELS WILL BE DOWN IN THE 30-40 PERCENT RANGE...RATHER LOW FOR EARLY JUNE. SATURDAY NIGHT...THE SET UP LOOKS GOOD FOR DECENT RADIATIONAL COOLING...WITH MAINLY CLEAR SKIES AND A LIGHT WIND REGIME AS HIGH PRESSURE CONTINUES TO MOVE IN FROM THE WEST. THIS WILL ALLOW FOR TEMPS TO FALL TO THE UPPER 50S FAR INLAND TO THE LOWER AND MIDDLE 60S MOST ELSEWHERE. THESE VALUES ARE ABOUT 5-8 DEGREES BELOW SEASONAL NORMS. SUNDAY THROUGH SUNDAY NIGHT...THE TROUGH IN THE EAST WILL SHIFT INTO THE ATLANTIC BY LATE SUNDAY AND HEIGHTS SLOWLY BEGIN TO BUILD IN RESPONSE. THE SURFACE HIGH OVER THE SE PART OF THE COUNTRY WILL SPLIT IN TWO...WITH ONE PORTION SHIFTING SOUTH INTO THE GULF AND ACROSS FLORIDA...WITH THE SECOND AND WEAKER PORTION FOUND NEAR THE SOUTHERN APPALACHIANS. IN BETWEEN A WEAK COLD FRONT WILL TRY AND SNEAK IN FROM THE NW BY LATE SUNDAY AND SUNDAY NIGHT. THE LACK OF MOISTURE...LITTLE FORCING IN THE LOW LEVELS AND NO SUPPORT ALOFT SUGGESTS THAT WE/LL BE HARD PRESSED TO RECEIVED ANY PRECIP. WE/LL MAINTAIN POPS UNDER 15 PERCENT...ALTHOUGH WE CANNOT ENTIRELY RULE OUT A FEW SHOWERS FOR SUNDAY NIGHT AS WEAK ISENTROPIC LIFT BEGINS TO DEVELOP ON THE 295/300K SURFACES. WESTERLY FLOW AND COMPRESSIONAL HEATING IN ADVANCE OF THE COLD FRONT SUNDAY...ALONG WITH 850 MB TEMPS THAT CLIMB TO 14-15C...WILL SUPPORT MAX TEMPS IN THE UPPER 80S AND LOWER 90S AWAY FROM THE COAST. WARM ADVECTION SUNDAY NIGHT AND AN INCREASE IN CLOUD COVER WILL LIMIT TEMPS TO NO LOWER THAN THE MID AND UPPER 60S MOST LOCALES SUNDAY NIGHT. MONDAY...THE FORECAST AREA WILL LIE WITHIN A NW FLOW ALOFT BETWEEN THE TROUGH IN THE ATLANTIC...AND A RIDGE BUILDING OVER THE ROCKIES. FURTHER WEST IN ANOTHER TROUGH IN THE PACIFIC...WITH A RESULTING OMEGA BLOCKING PATTERN TO TAKE SHAPE. MEANWHILE...THE COLD FRONT WILL BECOME LESS DEFINED BUT DOES APPEAR TO STALL OUT OVER OR NEAR THE FORECAST AREA. THERE IS STILL THE LACK OF SUPPORT IN THE MID AND UPPER LEVELS...BUT LOW LEVEL CONVERGENCE AND AN INCREASE IN MOISTURE SUPPORTS AT LEAST SMALL POPS ACROSS THE ENTIRE FORECAST AREA. 850 MB TEMPS RISE ANOTHER DEGREE OR TWO...AND WITH A CONTINUED DEEP OFFSHORE FLOW IT/LL BE ANOTHER HOT DAY WITH HIGHS 88-94 AWAY FROM THE SHORELINE. && .LONG TERM /MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY/... A REINFORCING COLD FRONT LOOKS TO PUSH THROUGH MONDAY NIGHT AS LOW PRESSURE MOVES OFF THE SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND COAST. ONCE AGAIN THE FRONT WILL STALL OUT OVER OR JUST SOUTH OF THE AREA TUESDAY THROUGH MID WEEK BEFORE LIFTING BACK NORTH LATE IN THE WEEK. RAIN CHANCES LOOK TO BE MAINLY DIURNALLY-DRIVEN WITH THE BEST CHANCES OVERALL COMING THURSDAY INTO FRIDAY AS DEEPER MOISTURE MOVES BACK INTO THE AREA. TEMPERATURES WILL BE LARGELY DEPENDENT UPON THE POSITION OF THE FRONT AND RAIN COVERAGE BUT KEPT THEM AT OR ABOVE NORMAL THROUGH TUESDAY BEFORE DROPPING BELOW NORMAL WEDNESDAY. && .AVIATION /20Z FRIDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/... THE PRIMARY CONCERN OVER THE NEXT 6-12 HOURS IS THE POTENTIAL FOR THUNDERSTORMS AT KCHS AND KSAV. HAVE GONE WITH PREVAILING VCTS TO BEGIN WITH...THEN A TEMPO FOR THUNDER INTO THE EVENING HOURS. GUSTY WINDS INTO THE 20-25 KT RANGE WILL BE POSSIBLE OUTSIDE OF THUNDERSTORMS...WITH STRONGER GUSTS POSSIBLE IF DIRECTLY AFFECTED BY STORMS. OVERALL THUNDERSTORM COVERAGE WILL BEGIN TO DIMINISH IN THE EVENING WITH VARIOUS MODELS HAVING THINGS DRY BY AROUND 00Z. OVERNIGHT THERE ARE NO REAL CONCERNS...WINDS WILL TURN MORE WEST AND THEN NORTHWEST AS THE ACTUAL COLD FRONT GET INTO THE REGION JUST BEFORE SUNRISE. EXTENDED AVIATION OUTLOOK...VFR THROUGH THE WEEKEND WITH INCREASING CHANCES OF SUB-VFR CONDITIONS EARLY NEXT WEEK AS A BACKDOOR COLD FRONT MOVES INTO THE AREA AND STALLS OVER/SOUTH OF THE AREA THROUGH MID WEEK. && .MARINE... HAVE OPTED TO DROP THE SCA/S FOR EVERYWHERE OUTSIDE OF THE CHARLESTON HARBOR. SO FAR WINDS HAVE MAXED OUT IN THE 15-20 KT RANGE WITH ONLY MARGINAL 25 KT GUSTS IN THE HARBOR. EVEN WITH THE ACTUAL PASSAGE OF THE COLD FRONT WINDS ARE EXPECTED TO REMAIN AT OR BELOW 20 KTS. WINDS WILL SHIFT TO SOUTHWESTERLY TO WESTERLY LATE TONIGHT. SEAS WILL REMAIN BELOW CRITERIA OVERNIGHT...BUT WILL BE ON THE INCREASE LATE. EXPECT GENERALLY 2-4 FT WITHIN 20 NM AND 3-5 FT BEYOND. SATURDAY AND SATURDAY NIGHT...AN OFFSHORE FLOW WILL PREVAIL IN WAKE OF THE COLD FRONT...AS WEAK HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS FROM THE WEST. THE END RESULT WILL BE FOR DECENT BOATING CONDITIONS FOR THE START OF THE WEEKEND. SUNDAY AND SUNDAY NIGHT...THE PRESSURE GRADIENT WILL BEGIN TO TIGHTEN BETWEEN HIGH PRESSURE TO THE SOUTH AND A COLD FRONT THAT BEGINS TO APPROACH FROM THE NW SUNDAY NIGHT. THAT ALONG WITH SOME ENHANCEMENT DUE TO THE AFTERNOON/EVENING SEA BREEZE AND A LOW LEVEL NOCTURNAL JET WILL GENERATE SLIGHTLY HIGHER WIND AND SEA CONDITIONS. HOWEVER...SMALL CRAFT ADVISORIES DO NOT LOOK TO BE A REQUIREMENT. MONDAY...THE COLD FRONT WILL STALL OVER OR NEAR THE COASTAL WATERS...AND IT/S EXACT PLACEMENT AND ORIENTATION WILL DETERMINE WHAT EXACTLY HAPPENS IN REGARDS TO WINDS AND THE RESULTING SEAS. LATEST INDICATIONS ARE HOWEVER THAT AN OFFSHORE FLOW WILL PREVAIL...AND CONDITIONS WILL REMAIN BELOW ANY SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY CRITERIA. TUESDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY...A LOW CONFIDENCE FORECAST WITH TOO MUCH UNCERTAINTY AS TO WHETHER OR NOT THE STATIONARY FRONT LINGERS OVER OR NEAR THE WATERS...OR DOES IT TRANSITION OVER INTO A WARM FRONT AND LIFT NORTH. EITHER WAY...SUB-SCA CONDITIONS APPEAR LIKELY. && .TIDES/COASTAL FLOODING... THE UPCOMING FULL MOON AND LUNAR PERIGEE WILL CREATE PERIGEAN SPRING TIDES...WHICH COULD BE HIGH ENOUGH TO PRODUCE MINOR COASTAL FLOODING DURING THE HIGH TIDE EACH EVENING INTO AT LEAST EARLY NEXT WEEK. GUIDANCE SHOWS THAT THE EVENING HIGH TIDE WILL APPROACH SHALLOW COASTAL FLOODING CRITERIA IN THE CHARLESTON HARBOR...BUT IS EXPECTED TO REMAIN JUST BELOW. && .CHS WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... GA...NONE. SC...NONE. MARINE...SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY UNTIL 10 PM EDT THIS EVENING FOR AMZ330. && NEAR TERM...BSH SHORT TERM... LONG TERM...RJB AVIATION...BSH MARINE...BSH TIDES/COASTAL FLOODING...
