The episode as NWS CHS wrote it up.
Numerous to widespread thunderstorms developed over the area as several mid level shortwaves ejected northeast over a stationary front between an inland upper trough and high pressure offshore. A couple of thunderstorms became severe with damaging wind gusts and heavy rainfall during the afternoon.

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE CHARLESTON SC
356 PM EDT SUN JUN 30 2013
...HEAVY RAINS AND FLASH FLOODING LIKELY THROUGH TUESDAY
MORNING...
.SYNOPSIS...
A FRONT WILL REMAIN NEARLY STATIONARY OVER THE WESTERN CAROLINAS
AND NORTHERN GEORGIA. A VERY MOIST AIR MASS AHEAD OF THE FRONT
WILL ALLOW FOR HEAVY RAINFALL AT TIMES THROUGH AT LEAST MID WEEK.
OTHERWISE...HIGH PRESSURE WILL PREVAIL OFFSHORE WITH DEEP LOW
PRESSURE NORTH AND WEST OF THE AREA. BY THE END OF THE WEEK HIGH
PRESSURE WILL STRENGTHEN ALONG THE EAST COAST AND PERSIST THROUGH
NEXT WEEKEND.
&&
.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM MONDAY MORNING/...
AN IMPRESSIVE MOISTURE CONVEYOR WITH ORIGINS FROM THE DEEP TROPICS
WILL CONTINUE TO FUNNEL HIGH MOISTURE LADEN AIR NORTHWARD INTO THE
REGION BETWEEN BLOCKING HIGH PRESSURE OVER THE ATLANTIC AND A
DEEPENING UPPER LEVEL LOW GYRATING OVER THE TENNESSEE VALLEY.
BLENDED AMSU/SSMI DATA SHOWS PWAT VALUES WITHIN THE CORE OF THE
MOISTURE TAP ARE GENERALLY 2 TO 2.3 INCHES...WHICH IS ABOUT
125-140 PERCENT OR NORMAL FOR 30 JUNE. IMPRESSIVE UPPER DYNAMICS
COUPLED WITH HIGH PWATS...SOME INSTABILITY AND A NUMBER OF
NUMEROUS MESOSCALE BOUNDARY COLLISIONS. WILL PRODUCE NUMEROUS TO
WIDESPREAD SHOWERS/TSTMS FOR THE REMAINDER OF THE AFTERNOON HOURS
THEN GRADUALLY WANING THIS EVENING. AFTER MIDNIGHT...850MB
MOISTURE TRANSPORT VECTORS STRENGTHEN DRAMATICALLY AS THE FLOW
AHEAD OF THE UPPER LOW BACKS SLIGHTLY AND LOW-LEVEL JETTING
INTENSIFIES ACROSS THE SOUTHEAST STATES. THIS WILL SUPPORT ANOTHER
ROUND OF SHOWERS AND TSTMS WITH TORRENTIAL RAINFALL. WILL HIGHLIGHT
70-90 PERCENT POPS AT VARIOUS TIMES THROUGH THE NIGHT...TRYING TO
CAPTURE THE TIMING AND PLACEMENT OF THE GREATEST CONVECTIVE
COVERAGE AS BEST AS IS POSSIBLE THIS FAR OUT. LOWS WILL RANGE FROM
THE LOWER 70S INLAND TO THE MID 70S AT THE COAST...ALTHOUGH THEY
WILL BE AUGMENTED AT TIMES BASED ON HOW HEAVY CONVECTIVE ELEMENTS
BECOME AT ANY ONE PLACE.
THERE IS A CHANCE FOR AN ISOLATED SEVERE TSTM THIS AFTERNOON AS
MESOSCALE BOUNDARIES COLLIDE. ORGANIZED SEVERE TSTMS APPEAR
UNLIKELY ATTM GIVEN THE MARGINAL INSTABILITY THAT IS IN
PLACE...HOWEVER A FEW SEVERE TSTM WARNINGS MAY BE ISSUED.
&&
.SHORT TERM /6 AM MONDAY MORNING THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
A WET PATTERN WILL REMAIN IN PLACE OVER THE SOUTHEASTERN UNITED
STATES THROUGH MID WEEK. MODELS REMAIN IN AGREEMENT THAT THE LARGE
SCALE PATTERN WILL HAVE DEEP HIGH PRESSURE CENTERED OVER THE
WESTERN ATLANTIC AND A LARGE TROUGH CENTERED OVER THE OHIO AND
TENNESSEE VALLEY. THIS WILL KEEP THE AREA PRIME FOR SHOWER AND/OR
THUNDERSTORM DEVELOPMENT EACH AFTERNOON AS DEEP MOISTURE ADVECTS
FROM THE GULF OF MEXICO TO SOUTHEAST GEORGIA AND SOUTHEAST SOUTH
CAROLINA.
WIDESPREAD WET CONDITIONS LOOK APPARENT ON MONDAY AS A WEAK SFC LOW
REMAINS POSITIONED THE DEEP SOUTH AND LIKELY AMPLIFIES MOISTURE
ADVECTION OVER THE REGION WHILE HIGH PRESSURE GRADUALLY EXPANDS OVER
THE WESTERN ATLANTIC AND FORCES THE MOISTURE TO REMAIN PINNED OVER
THE SOUTHEAST. A FEW ROUNDS OF HEAVY PRECIP ARE THEREFORE POSSIBLE
EACH AFTERNOON AS PWATS REMAIN BETWEEN 2 TO 2.5 INCHES...FAVORABLE
DIVERGENT FLOW ALOFT OCCURS WITH AN H25 JET...AND SEVERAL H5
SHORTWAVES ROUND THE EASTERN EDGE OF THE LONGWAVE TROUGH TO THE
WEST/NORTHWEST. THE GREATEST POTENTIAL FOR FLASH FLOODING SHOULD
BE ON MONDAY WHEN ENHANCED LOW LVL CONVERGENCE OCCURS ALONG THE
NORTHERN EDGE OF A 30-35 KT H85 JET WHILE ISENTROPIC ASCENT BECOMES
MORE FAVORABLE AS THE WEAK SFC LOW TO OUR WEST RESULTS IN FLOW
BECOMING MORE SOUTHERLY. HAVE THEREFORE INCREASED POPS TO 70-80 OVER
ALL LOCATIONS BY MONDAY AFTERNOON DURING PEAK HEATING. GIVEN THE
AMOUNT OF RAINFALL EXPERIENCED AND ANTICIPATED SUNDAY AFTERNOON AND
EVENING...WILL MAINTAIN A FLASH FLOOD WATCH THROUGH EARLY TUESDAY
MORNING.
THERE IS A POTENTIAL OF FLASH FLOODING TO OCCUR THROUGH TUESDAY
EVENING...BUT CONFIDENCE IN TIMING AND PRECISE LOCATION ARE TOO LOW
TO INCLUDE IN A FLASH FLOOD WATCH AT THIS TIME. HOWEVER...HAVE
INCREASED POPS TO 70 OVER MOST LOCATIONS GIVEN THE INCREASING TREND
IN MODEL SOLUTIONS OVER THE REGION. CONDITIONS SHOULD GRADUALLY
IMPROVE ON WEDNESDAY AS ATLANTIC HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS ALONG THE
SOUTHEAST COAST WHILE THE LARGE TROUGH TO OUR WEST/NORTHWEST BEGINS
TO MAKE A NORTHERN RETREAT. THIS SHOULD RESULT IN MOST PRECIP
ACTIVITY REMAINING OVER FAR INLAND LOCATIONS...THUS HAVE KEEP 60-70
POPS MAINLY WEST OF INTERSTATE 95 THROUGH WEDNESDAY EVENING...AND
NEAR 50 POPS ALONG THE COAST.
THE OVERALL SEVERE WEATHER THREAT WILL REMAIN LOW THROUGH WEDNESDAY
GIVEN MOSTLY CLOUDY SKIES AND SATURATED PROFILES...HOWEVER CAN NOT
RULE OUT AN ISOLATED EVENT WITH BOUNDARY COLLISIONS DURING PEAK
HEATING. OVERALL HIGH TEMPS WILL BE A BIT COOLER GIVEN THE LACK OF
STRONG SFC HEATING DUE TO THE COVERAGE OF PRECIP OVER THE AREA. HIGH
TEMPS SHOULD RANGE BETWEEN THE MID TO UPPER 80S...HIGHEST INLAND.
OVERNIGHT LOWS WILL RANGE IN THE LOW 70S INLAND TO MID/UPPER 70S
ALONG THE COAST.
&&
.LONG TERM /WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY/...
DECENT MODEL AGREEMENT THIS PERIOD INDICATING DEEP HIGH PRESSURE
STRENGTHENING OVER THE EAST COAST THROUGH THE WEEKEND. WITH THE
DEEPEST MOISTURE SHIFTING WEST OF THE AREA THERE SHOULD BE LESS IN
THE WAY OF RAINFALL ACROSS THE AREA...MAINLY NEAR THE COAST EACH
MORNING TRANSITIONING INLAND THROUGH THE DAY. HIGH TEMPERATURES WILL
BE SLOWLY WARMING THROUGH THE PERIOD...LIKELY GETTING BACK ABOVE
NORMAL FOR THE WEEKEND.
&&
.AVIATION /20Z SUNDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/...
SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS ARE EXPECTED TO INCREASE IN COVERAGE
THROUGHOUT THE AFTERNOON...PERIODICALLY REDUCING CONDITIONS TO AT LEAST
MVFR LEVELS DUE TO HEAVY DOWNPOURS AT BOTH KCHS AND KSAV. DUE TO
CURRENT RADAR TRENDS...HAVE INITIATED KCHS WITH A +TSRA TEMPO GROUP
WITH CONDITIONS SLIGHTLY DELAYED AT KSAV. PLENTY OF
MOISTURE WILL CONTINUE OVERNIGHT...BUT EXPECT CONVECTION TO DIMINISH
AFTER SUNSET. HOWEVER...SHOWERS COULD ONCE AGAIN INITIATE BY EARLY
MONDAY MORNING...ONCE AGAIN INCREASING CHANCES FOR MVFR CONDITIONS.
EXTENDED AVIATION OUTLOOK...SCATTERED TO NUMEROUS SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS EXPECTED EACH AFTERNOON/EVENING THROUGH MID WEEK WITH
BRIEF REDUCTIONS IN CEILINGS AND/OR VISIBILITIES...ESPECIALLY ON
MONDAY AND TUESDAY.
&&
.MARINE...
TONIGHT...WINDS AND SEAS WILL REMAIN ELEVATED TONIGHT AS LOW-LEVEL
JETTING INTENSIFIES. WILL MAINTAIN SMALL CRAFT ADVISORIES FOR ALL
BUT THE CHARLESTON HARBOR AND THE GEORGIA NEARSHORE WATERS.
MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY...ATLANTIC HIGH PRESSURE WILL REMAIN EAST OF
THE COASTAL WATERS INTO EARLY WEDNESDAY WHILE A LARGE TROUGH OF LOW
PRESSURE IS POSITIONED INLAND. THIS WILL RESULT IN A TIGHTENED
PRESSURE GRADIENT OVER ALL WATERS...WITH WINDS/SEAS IN MARGINAL
SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY CONDITIONS FOR NEARSHORE SC WATERS AND OUTER
GEORGIA WATERS INTO TUESDAY MORNING. WINDS/SEAS WILL LIKELY PEAK NEAR
20-25 KTS WITH SEAS OF 5-7 FT MONDAY NIGHT DURING THE ADVISORY EVENT
AS A 30-35 KT LOW LVL JET ADVANCES NORTH OVER THE WATERS. CONDITIONS
SHOULD THEN GRADUALLY IMPROVE AND REMAIN BELOW SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY
LEVELS INTO MID WEEK AS ATLANTIC HIGH PRESSURE BEGINS TO BUILD OVER
THE WESTERN ATLANTIC.
RIP CURRENTS...AN ENHANCED RISK OF RIP CURRENTS WILL CONTINUE ON
MONDAY FOR LOCATIONS ALONG SC BEACHES DUE TO ONSHORE WINDS NEAR
15-20 MPH AND LONG PERIOD SWELLS OF 2-3 FT. THUS THE RIP CURRENT RISK
WILL REMAIN IN THE MODERATE CATEGORY FOR LOCATIONS ALONG THE SOUTH
CAROLINA BEACHES. WINDS SHOULD BE SLIGHTLY WEAKER ALONG THE GEORGIA
COAST...THUS THE RIP CURRENT RISK WILL LIKELY REMAIN IN THE LOW
CATEGORY THROUGH MONDAY AFTERNOON.
&&
.HYDROLOGY...
THERE WILL REMAIN AN IMPRESSIVE SETUP FOR HEAVY RAINFALL OVER THE
NEXT FEW DAYS AS THE REGION REMAINS ANCHORED UNDERNEATH A TROPICAL
MOISTURE PLUME ADVECTING NORTH BETWEEN BLOCKING HIGH PRESSURE OVER
THE ATLANTIC AND DEEP LOW PRESSURE OVER THE TENNESSEE VALLEY.
PWATS WELL OVER 2 INCHES...COUPLED WITH MODEST INSTABILITY AND A
PLETHORA OF UPPER-LEVEL IMPULSES MOVING THROUGH WILL SUPPORT
HEAVY RAINFALL. STORM TOTAL AMOUNTS OF 2-4 INCHES WITH LOCAL
AMOUNTS IN EXCESS OF 5 INCHES WILL BE POSSIBLE THROUGH AT LEAST
MONDAY NIGHT. GIVEN MUCH OF THE REGION IS RUNNING WELL ABOVE
CLIMATOLOGICAL NORMALS FOR PRECIPITATION AND THE GROUND REMAINS
SATURATED FROM HEAVY RAINS EXPERIENCED OVER THE PAST SEVERAL
WEEKS...A FLASH FLOOD WATCH HAS BEEN ISSUED FOR ALL OF SOUTHEAST
SOUTH CAROLINA AND PARTS OF SOUTHEAST GEORGIA ROUGHLY NORTH OF
INTERSTATE 16. THE FLASH FLOOD WATCH MAY EVENTUALLY NEED TO BE
EXPANDED SOUTH TO INCLUDE THE REMAINDER OF SOUTHEAST GEORGIA LATER
TONIGHT OR ON MONDAY.
