The episode as NWS ILM wrote it up.
Severe thunderstorms developed along and behind a cold front aligned roughly along the Grand Strand. Hail up to the size of golf balls was reported. Hail accumulated to a significant depth in several locations. In the aftermath of the storms, some areas fogged in as the low levels cooled rapidly where the hail remained on the ground for some length of time. Murrells Inlet, South Carolina was especially hard hit as slick roads and reduced visibility caused numerous accidents. Highway 17 was closed for a time.

NWS Wilmington, NC wrote its last area forecast discussion before the first event at Nov 4, 4:05 PM EST, 30 minutes earlier.
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE WILMINGTON NC 405 PM EST SUN NOV 4 2012 .SYNOPSIS... A COLD FRONT WILL CONTINUE TO MOVE SOUTH ACROSS THE AREA MOVING OFF SHORE BY MONDAY MORNING AS COOL AND DRY HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS IN FROM THE NORTH. A COASTAL STORM IS EXPECTED TO IMPACT THE EASTERN CAROLINAS TUESDAY THROUGH EARLY WEDNESDAY...BRINGING BRISK NORTHERLY WINDS AND CHILLY RAIN. A DRYING TREND IS EXPECTED BEGINNING WEDNESDAY...ACCOMPANIED BY A WARMING TREND INTO LATE NEXT WEEK AS HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS IN. && .NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/... AS OF 300 PM SUNDAY...SURFACE-BASED CAPE AND EFFECTIVE BULK SHEAR PARAMETERS REMAIN HIGHEST ACROSS OUR VERY SOUTHERN LAND ZONES AND OVER GULF STREAM WATERS THIS AFTERNOON. A WAVY FRONTAL BOUNDARY WAS SNAKED ACROSS OUR FORECAST ZONES...WITH BBP IN OUR FAR WNW PORTION REPORTING NW WIND AND 66 DEGREES...AND KINGSTREE SOUTH CAROLINA HOVERING AROUND 80 DEGREES WITH WSW WINDS. A SURFACE LOW COMPLEX ANALYZED FROM ILM TO CAE TO GSP WILL TRACK EAST AND OFFSHORE THIS EVENING. THIS WILL FORCE THE SFC BOUNDARY SOUTHWARD AS A COLD FRONT. WHETHER ENOUGH SURFACE HEATING AND DEWPOINTS IN THE LOW TO MID 50S WILL ALLOW TSTM FORMATION REMAINS TO BE SEEN...BUT ALONG AND NEAR THE SOUTH CAROLINA COAST DEWPOINTS NEAR 60 DEGREES MAY PROVIDE FUEL NEAR THE BOUNDARY LATE AFTERNOON INTO EVENING. AS OF THIS WRITING...SPC MAINTAINS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE TSTMS OVER OUR SC ZONES AND AROUND CAPE FEAR. AT A MINIMUM THOUGH...AM EXPECTING SCATTERED SHOWERS OVER OUR CWA TONIGHT. DRIER AND COOLER AIR WILL SPILL SOUTHWARD OVERNIGHT...WITH RAIN MOVING OFF THE NC/SC COAST AROUND DAYBREAK. MINIMUM TEMPERATURES IN LOW 40S NORTH ZONES TO THE UPPER 40S NEAR 50 ACROSS THE VERY SOUTH IS ANTICIPATED. A FEW SHOWERS OR LIGHT RAIN MAY LINGER ALONG THE IMMEDIATE COAST AT 12Z(7AM)...BUT THE BULK OF SHOWERS WILL RESIDE OFFSHORE AT FIRST LIGHT OF MONDAY. && .SHORT TERM /MONDAY THROUGH TUESDAY NIGHT/... AS OF 300 PM SUNDAY...WEAK HIGH PRESSURE WILL BUILD DOWN FROM THE NORTH ON MONDAY INTO TUESDAY. DEEP NORTHWEST TO WESTERLY FLOW BEHIND DEPARTING COLD FRONT WILL ADVECT DRIER AND COOLER AIR INTO THE AREA THROUGH THE DAY ON MONDAY. ANY LINGERING MOISTURE AND CLOUDS MON MORNING WILL DISSIPATE GIVING WAY TO AFTERNOON SUNSHINE BUT TEMPS WILL REMAIN ALMOST 5 TO 10 DEGREES BELOW NORMAL IN COOL NORTHERLY FLOW ONLY REACHING CLOSER TO 60 FOR A HIGH TEMP. AS ONE SHORTWAVE RIDES AROUND A BROAD MID TO UPPER TROUGH THROUGH THE MID ATLANTIC STATES AND OFF SHORE ON MONDAY...ANOTHER MORE POTENT SHORTWAVE WILL DIG DOWN THE BACK END OF THE TROUGH INTO THE LOWER MISSISSIPPI VALLEY. SHALLOW COOL AIR WILL REMAIN LOCKED IN PLACE LOCALLY IN NORTHEAST FLOW HEADING INTO TUES AS SFC LOW DEVELOPS ALONG COLD FRONT MEANDERING BACK OVER THE MISSISSIPPI VALLEY. SURFACE LOW SLOWLY DEEPENS OVER THE GULF COAST AS THIS SHORTWAVE DIGS DOWN AND THEN TRAVERSES EAST REACHING JUST OFF THE SOUTHEAST COAST ON TUES. THE SFC LOW WILL STRENGTHEN AS IT MOVES NORTH FROM THE GA/FL COAST ON TUES PARALLELING THE CAROLINA COAST THROUGH TUES NIGHT. PCP WATER VALUES WILL REMAIN BELOW A HALF INCH IN DRY AIR THROUGH TUES MORNING. AS LOW APPROACHES THE SOUTHEAST COAST FROM THE WEST TUES MORNING...MID TO UPPER LEVEL FLOW WILL BACK TO THE S-SW AND INCREASE PUMPING MOISTURE INTO THE COASTAL CAROLINAS...BUT THE SFC FLOW WILL REMAIN NE. LOOKS LIKE THERE MAY BE A BRIEF PERIOD WHERE LOW LEVEL FLOW BACKS TO SW THROUGH TUES MORNING BUT OVERALL LOW LEVEL FLOW WILL REMAIN NORTHERLY ON BACK END OF LOW AS IT TRAVELS UP THE SOUTHEAST COASTAL WATERS. OVERALL AT THIS POINT IT LOOKS LIKE SFC LOW WILL REMAIN FAR ENOUGH OFF THE COAST AND WILL NOT DEEPEN APPRECIABLY UNTIL IT LIFTS NORTH TOWARD HATTERAS AND MID TO UPPER TROUGH LIFTS NORTH WITH IT TOWARD HATTERAS. AS FOR MID TO UPPER LEVELS DYNAMICS...BEST SHORTWAVE ENERGY ROTATES AROUND TO THE SOUTH AND EAST OF AREA AND BEST JET ENERGY REMAINS SOUTH THROUGH MOST OF TUES. WITH LATEST MODEL RUNS...NOT CONVINCED LOCAL AREA WILL EXPERIENCE A GREAT AMOUNT WITH THIS LOW. COUNTING ON COOL AND CLOUDY WEATHER TUES THROUGH WED MORNING WITH BEST CHC OF RAIN SPREADING NORTH THROUGH SOUTH CAROLINA AND PRIMARILY ALONG THE COAST BUT WILL NEED TO KEEP A CLOSE EYE ON THE EXACT TRACK AND TIMING OF SFC AND UPPER LEVEL FEATURES TO FINE TUNE. ALSO WITH POTENT MID TO UPPER LOW TRACKING OVER THE SOUTHEAST NOT COMFORTABLE TRYING TO FORECAST EXACT AREAS OF LIFT OR SUBSIDENCE AT THIS POINT AS LOW REMAINS WRAPPED TIGHT AND SMALL CHANGES COULD MAKE A LARGE DIFFERENCE IN FORECAST. SHOULD END UP BEING A LOWER END QPF EVENT FOR INLAND WITH GREATER AMOUNTS MAINLY ALIGNED ALONG THE COAST. TEMPERATURES WILL REMAIN BELOW CLIMO THROUGH THE PERIOD. DEPENDING ON HOW QUICKLY CLOUDS INCREASE ACROSS THE AREA WILL MAKE A DIFFERENCE IN HOW MUCH RADIATIONAL COOLING OCCURS TUES NIGHT. FOR NOW WILL COUNT ON DECENT RADIATIONAL COOLING BEFORE CLOUDS INCREASE TOWARD MORNING AND THEREFORE WILL KEEP LOWS IN THE 30S MOST PLACES. THIS COOL START COMBINED WITH COOL NORTHERLY FLOW WITH CLOUDS AND RAIN WILL MAKE FOR HIGH TEMPS WELL BELOW NORMAL...JUST MAKING IT INTO THE 50S MOST PLACES. LOW TEMPS ON TUES NIGHT WILL DEPEND ON HOW QUICKLY WE DRY AND COOL ON THE BACK END OF THE DEPARTING LOW. FOR NOW WILL GO WITH MID TO UPPER 30S. && .LONG TERM /WEDNESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/... AS OF 300 PM SUNDAY...DEEPENING NOR'EASTER WILL BE PULLING AWAY AT THE START OF THE PERIOD. WITH THE ILM CWA ON THE DEPARTING EDGE OF THE STORM WEDNESDAY MORNING...HOW MUCH PRECIP REMAINS WILL BE DEPENDENT ON EXACT POSITION AND SPEED OF THE SURFACE LOW. ECMWF REMAINS THE SLOWEST/FURTHEST WEST WHILE THE CMC/GFS/GFS ENSEMBLES REMAIN EAST. THE ECMWF ENSEMBLE MEAN IS MORE IN LINE WITH THE GFS...SO WILL CONTINUE THE TREND OF LEANING TOWARDS THE GFS SOLUTION...BUT KEEPING SOME WEIGHT ON THE ECMWF DUE TO ITS SUPERIOR PERFORMANCE RECENTLY. WITH THIS IN MIND...AND KNOWING THAT THE BACK SIDE OF THE SYSTEM WILL LIKELY BE QUITE DRY...WILL KEEP INHERITED BASICALLY AS-IS...WITH SCHC POP EARLY WED ALONG THE NORTH/COAST...TRENDING TO DRY BY WED EVE. AS THE NOR'EASTER MOVES SLOWLY UP THE COAST...W/NW WINDS DEVELOP AND INCREASE THANKS TO THE TIGHTENING PRESSURE GRADIENT BETWEEN THE DEEPENING LOW AND ADVANCING HIGH. THIS MEANS THAT ALTHOUGH IT WILL BE DRY BY WED EVE AND THURSDAY...GUSTY WINDS AND CAA WILL KEEP TEMPS BELOW CLIMO. LATE IN THE WEEK AND INTO THE WKND...500MB RIDGE BULGES UP FROM THE GULF COAST AND SURFACE HIGH DRIFTS OVERHEAD. THESE WILL COMBINE TO CREATE WARM AND SUNNY WEATHER...WITH MAX TEMPS RISING TO WELL ABOVE CLIMO BY THE WKND...ALTHOUGH GOOD RADIATIONAL COOLING WILL STILL PERMIT MINS TO FALL TO THE LOW 40S EACH NIGHT. && .AVIATION /18Z SUNDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/... AS OF 18Z...A BIT MORE CONFIDENT WE WILL SEE SCATTERED CONVECTION THIS AFTERNOON. MODERATE CAPE VALUES...GOOD MID LEVEL LAPSE RATES...AND DECENT BULK SHEAR ALONG THE COAST ARE THE FAVORING FACTORS. THE MAIN INGREDIENT THAT IS LACKING IS MOISTURE...WITH ONLY ONE INCH PRECIPITABLE WATER VALUES. CONVECTION WILL BE AHEAD OF A COLD FRONT THAT WILL REACH THE WESTERN TERMINALS AS EARLY AS 22Z...REACHING THE COAST BY 00Z. BEHIND THE FRONT...LOOK FOR A WIND SHIFT TO THE NORTH. EXPECT PRECIPITATION TO BECOME STRATIFORM...WITH CEILINGS FALLING TO IFR BY LATE EVENING...CONTINUING THROUGH MOST OF THE OVERNIGHT HOURS. LOW LEVEL MOISTURE PULLS OUT AFTER SUNRISE MONDAY...WITH CONDITIONS IMPROVING TO VFR. GUSTY NORTHEAST WINDS WILL REMAIN THROUGH THE END OF THE FORECAST PERIOD. EXTENDED OUTLOOK...CHANCE OF STRATIFORM RAINS...WITH ISOLATED TSTORMS ALONG THE IMMEDIATE COAST FROM MIDDAY TUESDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY WITH BRIEF PERIODS OF MVFR/IFR CONDITIONS POSSIBLE. && .MARINE... NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/... AS OF 300 PM SUNDAY...CHANGEABLE WINDS EXPECTED OVER THE WATERS INTO TONIGHT AS A SURFACE LOW COMPLEX MOVES EAST AND OFFSHORE THIS EVENING...THEN PULLS A COLD FRONT SOUTHWARD OVER THE 0-20NM WATERS OVERNIGHT. WINDS AHEAD AND BEHIND THE FRONT WILL HAVE THE POTENTIAL TO INDUCE 20 KT GUSTS. THIS WILL BE PARTICULARLY TRUE LATE TONIGHT AS A NORTH SURGE OF WIND PUSHES SOUTHWARD OVER RELATIVELY MILD SEA SURFACE TEMPERATURES. SEAS WILL RUN MAINLY IN A 2-4 FOOT RANGE AND HIGHEST OFFSHORE AND AROUND THE OCEAN SHOALS. NO CAUTIONARY STATEMENTS OR ADVISORIES APPEAR TO BE NEEDED FOR NOW...BUT THE SEA WILL REMAIN BUMPY THROUGH DAYBREAK MONDAY DUE TO VARIABLE WIND DIRECTIONS TONIGHT...FOLLOWED BY MODERATE WIND-SPEEDS OVERNIGHT AND EARLY MONDAY. SHORT TERM /MONDAY THROUGH TUESDAY NIGHT/... AS OF 300 PM SUNDAY...NORTHERLY FLOW WILL CONTINUE THROUGH THE PERIOD. THE WINDS WILL INCREASE THROUGH MONDAY MORNING IN COLD SURGE BEHIND DEPARTING COLD FRONT UP TO 15 TO 20 KTS. THIS WILL PUSH SEAS UP NEAR 4 TO 5 FT IN OUTER WATERS MON MORNING. THEN WEAK HIGH PRESSURE WILL RIDGE DOWN FROM THE NORTH MON THROUGH TUES AND GRADIENT RELAXES. THEREFORE WINDS DECREASE DOWN TO AROUND 15 KTS WITH SEAS SUBSIDING TO 2 TO 4 FT THROUGH TUES MORNING. WINDS AND SEAS WILL RAMP UP AGAIN LATE TUES THROUGH TUES NIGHT AS LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM DEEPENS AS IT RIDES UP THE OFF SHORE SOUTHEAST COASTAL WATERS. THE WINDS WILL BE HIGHLY DEPENDENT ON THE EXACT TRACK OF THIS LOW...BUT FOR NOW WILL KEEP LOW CENTER TO THE EAST OF LOCAL WATERS AS IT TRACKS UP FROM THE SOUTH REACHING JUST EAST OF LOCAL WATERS BY WED MORNING. THE INCREASING GRADIENT FLOW AND CONTINUED COOL NORTHERLY FLOW WILL PRODUCE A SHARP INCREASE IN WINDS AND SEAS TUES AFTERNOON THROUGH TUES NIGHT. WNA SHOWS SEAS REACHING UP NEAR 6 TO 7 FT IN OUTER WATERS TUES NIGHT. AT THIS POINT DO NOT HAVE WINDS EXCEEDING GALE THRESHOLD SO HAVE NO PLANS TO RAISE GALE WATCH. ALTHOUGH GALES ARE STILL POSSIBLE...LOOKING MORE LIKE A STRONG SCA EVENT WITH NORTHERLY FLOW OF 20 TO 25 KT AND SEAS BUILDING TO 4 TO 7 FT TUES NIGHT INTO WED MORNING. LONG TERM /WEDNESDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/... AS OF 300 PM SUNDAY...STRONG W/NW WINDS WITH 3-6 FT SEAS TO START THE PERIOD AS A DEEPENING NOR'EASTER SLOWLY PULLS AWAY UP THE COAST. WINDS WILL BE 15-25 KTS...HIGHEST ACROSS THE NORTHERN WATERS...AND A SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY MAY BE NEEDED FOR PART OF WEDNESDAY. THEREAFTER...AS THE LOW PRESSURE MOVES FURTHER AWAY WINDS SLOWLY DECREASE...BUT REMAIN 15-20 KTS THROUGH THURSDAY. WITH THE OFFSHORE WIND COMPONENT THOUGH...HIGHEST SEAS GET PUSHED OUT OF THE COASTAL WATERS SO WAVE AMPLITUDES FALL TO 2-3 FT THURSDAY. OFFSHORE WINDS CONTINUE FRIDAY BUT WITH EVEN WEAKER SPEEDS...AND SEAS DROP TO JUST 1-2 FT FOR THE END OF THE PERIOD. && .ILM WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... SC...NONE. NC...NONE.
