The episode as NWS CHS wrote it up.
Scattered diurnal showers and thunderstorms developed in the afternoon hours under the influence of weak high pressure.
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 May 20, 2:51 PM EST, 1 hour 35 minutes earlier.
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE CHARLESTON SC 351 PM EDT MON MAY 20 2013 .SYNOPSIS... AN UPPER LEVEL DISTURBANCE OVER THE AREA WILL DISSIPATE THROUGH MID WEEK WHILE ATLANTIC HIGH PRESSURE PREVAILS UNTIL LATE WEEK. A COLD FRONT WILL DROP THROUGH THE AREA FRIDAY...FOLLOWED BY HIGH PRESSURE THROUGH NEXT WEEKEND. && .NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM TUESDAY MORNING/... THIS AFTERNOON...ISOLATED TO NUMEROUS SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS CONTINUE TO IMPACT MUCH OF THE FORECAST AREA. FURTHER SOUTH ALONG THE GA COAST THE ACTIVITY IS MORE ISOLATED AND SEEMS TO BE FOCUSED ALONG THE SEABREEZE. FURTHER NORTH INTO THE TRI-COUNTY REGION BOUNDARY FROM EARLIER CONVECTION ARE AROUND AS WELL AS SOME LIFT ALONG THE SOUTHERN PERIPHERY OF THE BAGGY UPPER TROUGH. PLACEMENT OF SHOWERS/STORMS FOR THE REMAINDER OF THE AFTERNOON WILL PRIMARILY BE DRIVEN BY BOUNDARY INTERACTIONS AND THE SEABREEZE. THERE IS STILL THE POTENTIAL FOR AN ISOLATED SEVERE STORM...BUT SO FAR THE ONLY REPORT WE HAVE RECEIVED HAS BEEN PEA SIZED HAIL FROM A COCORAHS OBSERVER UNDER A STORM WITH A GOOD CORE IN JASPER COUNTY. TONIGHT...THE BAGGY UPPER TROUGH ALOFT WILL ONLY MAKE MINIMAL EASTWARD PROGRESS WHILE THE SURFACE PATTERN REMAINS THE SAME WITH THE AREA SOLIDLY UNDER THE WESTERN PERIPHERY OF ATLANTIC HIGH PRESSURE. ONCE THE EVENING CONVECTION DWINDLES THERE WILL AGAIN BE A PERIOD OF TIME WITH LITTLE TO NO PRECIP ACROSS THE REGION. MUCH LIKE IN PREVIOUS OVERNIGHT PERIODS...THE POTENTIAL IS THERE AGAIN FOR DEVELOPING SHOWERS OVER THE COASTAL WATERS TO STREAM IN AND IMPACT THE CHARLESTON COUNTY COAST. SLIGHT CHANCE TO CHANCE POPS CONTINUE IN THE FORECAST FOR THE EASTERN FRINGE OF THE AREA LATE TONIGHT. WITH SOME SLIGHTLY DRIER AIR FILTERING IN FROM THE WEST AND WITH MOIST SOILS RESULTING FROM THE LAST FEW ROUNDS OF CONVECTION...PATCHY FOG IS EXPECTED FOR MUCH OF SOUTHEAST GA AS WELL AS SOUTHEAST SC NEAR THE SAVANNAH RIVER. LOWS WILL NOT BE QUITE AS MILD AS SUNDAY NIGHT WITH MID TO UPPER 60S EXPECTED. && .SHORT TERM /6 AM TUESDAY MORNING THROUGH THURSDAY/... ATLANTIC HIGH PRESSURE WILL BE THE DOMINANT FEATURE AT THE SURFACE TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY. THE PERSISTENT UPPER SHORTWAVE MEANDERING OVER THE SOUTHEAST STATES WILL GRADUALLY BECOME ABSORBED BY A TROUGH AXIS TO THE WEST MID WEEK. THE UPPER TROUGH WILL THEN CONTINUE TO SWING TOWARD THE AREA ON THURSDAY...WITH A COLD FRONT APPROACHING THE WESTERN ZONES BY THE EVENING HOURS. DEEP MOISTURE AND PRECIPITABLE WATER VALUES WILL BE HIGHEST TUESDAY UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF THE LINGERING SHORTWAVE ENERGY...BEFORE SYNOPTIC SCALE FORCING DIMINISHES A BIT BY WEDNESDAY. EXPECT SCATTERED COVERAGE OF MAINLY DIURNAL SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS BOTH TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY...HIGHEST DURING THE FAVORED AFTERNOON AND EVENING PERIODS. CONVECTION WILL MAINLY BE DRIVEN BY A COMBINATION OF DAYTIME HEATING/INSTABILITY...SEABREEZE CONVERGENCE...AND ANY BOUNDARY INTERACTIONS. WILL THUS ADVERTISE BEST THUNDERSTORM POTENTIAL ALONG AND INLAND OF THE SEABREEZE...HOWEVER THERE ARE STILL SOME INDICATIONS THAT ISOLATED SHOWERS/WEAK THUNDERSTORMS COULD PUSH FROM THE MARINE ZONES LOCALLY ONSHORE EACH NIGHT AND EARLY MORNING. THE APPROACHING FRONT COULD SUPPORT BETTER CONVECTIVE COVERAGE ON THURSDAY...YET PREFER TO MAINTAIN PERSISTENCE BY KEEPING RAIN CHANCES IN THE 30 PERCENT RANGE TO ACCOUNT FOR SOME TIMING DIFFERENCES SEEN IN FORECAST MODEL SOLUTIONS. EXPECT A STEADY WARMING TREND TUESDAY THROUGH THURSDAY. HIGH TEMPERATURES WILL RANGE FROM THE LOW TO MID 80S FOR THE MAJORITY OF THE FORECAST AREA ON TUESDAY...WITH THE EXCEPTION OF THE FAR SOUTHWEST COUNTIES WHERE TEMPERATURES COULD CLIMB INTO THE UPPER 80S. HIGH TEMPERATURES WILL THEN PEAK IN THE UPPER 80S MOST INLAND LOCATIONS FOR THURSDAY...WHILE BEING SUPPRESSED IN THE LOW TO MID 80S CLOSER TO THE COASTLINE. && .LONG TERM /THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH MONDAY/... FAIRLY GOOD MODEL CONSISTENCY REGARDING AN UPPER TROUGH SHIFTING SOUTHEAST AND A COLD FRONTAL PASSAGE FRIDAY OR FRIDAY NIGHT. DRY AND SLIGHTLY COOLER CANADIAN HIGH PRESSURE LOOKS TO BUILD IN FOR THE WEEKEND BEFORE SHIFTING OFFSHORE EARLY NEXT WEEK. && .AVIATION /20Z MONDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/... AT KCHS...SHOWERS AND A POSSIBLE THUNDERSTORM WILL CONTINUE IN THE VICINITY FOR THE NEXT COUPLE OF HOURS AND THEN ACTIVITY SHOULD BE FURTHER AWAY AFTER THE ATMOSPHERE HAS BEEN WORKED OVER. THE OTHER ISSUE THIS FORECAST PERIOD IS THE POTENTIAL FOR SHOWERS AND MVFR CEILINGS LATE TONIGHT. I HAVE ADDED A VCSH MENTION FOR NOW WITH HAVE KEPT CONDITIONS VFR. AT SAV...THE MOST IMMEDIATE CONCERN IS THE POTENTIAL FOR THUNDERSTORMS DIRECTLY IMPACTING THE TERMINAL. THE FIRST SHOWERS/THUNDERSTORMS OF THE AFTERNOON ARE STARTING TO DEVELOP AND WILL BE IN THE VICINITY THROUGH 21Z. I HAVE KEPT IT AS JUST A VCTS MENTION FOR NOW AND WILL AMEND BASED ON RADAR OBSERVATIONS. THEN TONIGHT THE FOCUS SHIFTS TO THE POTENTIAL FOR FOG AND/OR STRATUS. AFTER A COUPLE OF DAYS WORTH OF CONVECTIVE RAINS...THE SOIL SHOULD BE SUFFICIENTLY MOIST FOR FOG TO BE A CONCERN. THERE ARE SOME INDICATIONS OF THE MID/UPPER LEVEL DRYING A BIT AND WITH COOLER TEMPS AND THE POTENTIAL FOR CLEARER SKIES...FOG/STRATUS POTENTIAL IS INCREASED. SOME OF THE GUIDANCE INDICATES POTENTIAL FOR IFR FOG/STRATUS. I HAVE INTRODUCED MVFR FOG STARTING AT 10Z AND JUST HINTED AT MVFR CEILINGS. EXTENDED AVIATION...THE MAIN CONCERN WILL BE SPORADIC REDUCTIONS IN CEILINGS AND VISIBILITIES...MAINLY ASSOCIATED WITH SCATTERED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS THROUGH THE PERIOD. THE GREATEST CHANCES WILL BE IN THE AFTERNOON HOURS TUE THROUGH THU...ALTHOUGH EARLY MORNING FLIGHT RESTRICTIONS CANNOT BE RULED OUT EACH DAY. && .MARINE... TONIGHT...A STRONG RIDGE OF HIGH PRESSURE CENTERED OVER THE ATLANTIC WILL EXTEND W ACROSS THE COASTAL WATERS...GENERATING SE AND S WINDS AT OR BELOW 15 KTS AND SEAS IN THE 2-4 FOOT RANGE. HIGH PRESSURE WILL REMAIN OVER THE WESTERN ATLANTIC THROUGH THURSDAY NIGHT...MAINTAINING A GENERAL SOUTHERLY FLOW AND ALLOWING SEABREEZE CIRCULATIONS TO DEVELOP EACH AFTERNOON. A COLD FRONT WILL DROP THROUGH THE REGION EARLY FRIDAY...WITH A NORTHEAST FLOW DEVELOPING AS CANADIAN HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS IN ITS WAKE. WINDS AND SEAS WILL LIKELY INCREASE OVER THE WEEKEND AS A RESULT. && .CHS WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... GA...NONE. SC...NONE. MARINE...NONE. && NEAR TERM...BSH SHORT TERM...WMS LONG TERM...JRL AVIATION...BSH MARINE...BSH/WMS
