The episode as NWS CHS wrote it up.
A few sub-severe thunderstorms developed near a stationary front positioned over southeast Georgia.
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 Aug 8, 3:03 PM EST, 37 minutes earlier.
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE CHARLESTON SC 403 PM EDT FRI AUG 8 2014 .SYNOPSIS... A STATIONARY FRONT WILL REMAIN OVER OR NEARBY INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK. A COLD FRONT WILL THEN CROSS THE REGION BY LATE NEXT WEEK. && .NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM SATURDAY MORNING/... SCATTERED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS EXPECTED TO SLOWLY WANE THIS EVENING ALTHOUGH SOME SHOWERS AND MAYBE EVEN A FEW THUNDERSTORMS WILL STILL BE POSSIBLE OVERNIGHT...MAINLY OVER SOUTH CAROLINA...AS THE STALLED FRONT LINGERS AND SHORTWAVE ENERGY ALOFT MOVES THROUGH. ISOLATED SEVERE STORMS WITH DAMAGING WINDS AND LOCALIZED FLOODING WILL BE POSSIBLE THROUGH THIS AFTERNOON GIVEN THE ABUNDANT INSTABILITY AND DCAPE OVER 1000 J/KG. LOWS SHOULD RANGE FROM THE LOWER TO MID 70S INLAND TO CLOSER TO 80 AT THE IMMEDIATE COAST. COULD SEE SOME LIGHT FOG WELL INLAND TOWARD DAYBREAK...ESPECIALLY WHERE IT RAINS TODAY. && .SHORT TERM /6 AM SATURDAY MORNING THROUGH MONDAY/... SATURDAY THROUGH SUNDAY...A LOW AMPLITUDE AND FAIRLY WEAK WEST-NW FLOW WILL PREVAIL ALOFT ACROSS THE AREA THIS WEEKEND...WHILE SIMULTANEOUSLY A QUASI-STATIONARY FRONT LINGERS MAINLY IN AN EAST-WEST FASHION ACROSS THE CENTRAL PART OF THE CWFA SATURDAY...THEN INTO NORTHERN SECTIONS SUNDAY. THIS FRONT IS POSITIONED IN BETWEEN THE SUB-TROPICAL RIDGE ANCHORED ACROSS FLORIDA AND MUCH DRIER RIDGE OF HIGH PRESSURE ACROSS THE MID-ATLANTIC STATES SATURDAY THAT SLIDES INTO THE ATLANTIC SUNDAY. DRIVEN BY MID LEVEL IMPULSES THAT BRUSH THE AREA TO THE NORTH WE LOOK FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF OCCASIONAL WEAK WAVES OF LOW PRESSURE ALONG THE FRONT AND IN CLOSE PROXIMITY THE THE LOCAL AREA. THIS LARGE SCALE FORCING ALONG WITH CONSIDERABLE POOLING OF MOISTURE...EVIDENCED BY PWATS CLIMBING TO BETWEEN 2.1 AND 2.3 INCHES...OR APPROACHING 2 STANDARD DEVIATIONS ABOVE NORMAL SUGGESTS THAT COVERAGE OF SHOWERS/T-STORMS WILL EASILY BE WITHIN THE HIGH END CHANCE RANGE OR AROUND 50 PERCENT. LIMITED MOVEMENT WITHIN THE LOWER AND MIDDLE TROPOSPHERE INDICATES THAT LOCALLY HEAVY RAINFALL WILL OCCUR...LIKELY PROMPTING OCCASIONAL FLASH FLOOD ADVISORIES AND PERHAPS EVEN FLASH FLOOD WARNINGS. WEAK SHEAR AND LAPSE RATES THAT ARE MODEST AT BEST WILL RESTRICT UPDRAFT STRENGTH. BUT GIVEN MODERATE INSTABILITY AND MESO-SCALE BOUNDARY INTERACTIONS WE CERTAINLY CAN/T DISCOUNT A COUPLE OF STRONG OR MARGINAL PULSE SEVERE STORMS. BUT ORGANIZED SEVERE WEATHER IS NOT ANTICIPATED. TEMPS BOTH DAYS WILL PEAK WITHIN A FEW DEGREES EITHER SIDE OF 90 AWAY FROM THE BEACHES...BUT MID 90S WILL OCCUR SOUTH OF I-16 IN SE GA. MONDAY...A MORE PROMINENT SHORT WAVE EMBEDDED WITHIN THE WEST/NW FLOW ALOFT LOOKS TO TRIGGER A SLIGHTLY BETTER ORGANIZED WAVE OF LOW PRESSURE OVER OR JUST OFFSHORE THE LOCAL AREA...WHICH IN TURN CAUSES THE STATIONARY FRONT TO START IT/S TRANSITION INTO A COLD FRONT. THE BEST CONVECTIVE COVERAGE WILL BE FOUND NEAR AND ALONG THE COASTAL ZONES IN CLOSER PROXIMITY TO THE BEST CONVERGENCE ALONG THE FRONT STRETCHING THROUGH AND TRAILING FROM THE SURFACE LOW. THERE MIGHT BE A BIT LESS MOISTURE...BUT PWATS ARE STILL ABOVE 2 INCHES WHICH SUPPORTS KEEPING POPS WITHIN THE CHANCE RANGE. PROVIDED UPDRAFTS ARE ABLE TO REACH HIGH ENOUGH...GIVEN SOME DRIER AIR ALOFT THERE MIGHT BE A GREATER RISK FOR ISOLATED STRONG OR SEVERE STORMS. WITH A DEEP WESTERLY FLOW WE MIGHT BE UNDERDONE ON MAX TEMPS BY A FEW DEGREES...BUT EVEN SO NOT FAR FROM TYPICAL MID-AUGUST LEVELS. && .LONG TERM /MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY/... A PERSISTENT BROAD UPPER TROUGH ACROSS MUCH OF THE EASTERN UNITED STATES WILL PREVAIL THROUGH THE EXTENDED PERIOD. THIS PATTERN WILL SUPPORT CONTINUED UNSETTLED WEATHER...WITH AN INLAND SURFACE TROUGH AND LINGERING WEAK FRONT REMAINING IN THE WAKE OF LOW PRESSURE LIFTING TO THE NORTHEAST. PRECIPITABLE WATER VALUES WILL REMAIN AROUND 2.0 INCHES INTO MID WEEK...SUPPORTING SCATTERED THUNDERSTORM DEVELOPMENT EACH DAY AND POSSIBLY INTO THE NIGHTTIME HOURS. DETERMINING THE AREAS FAVORED FOR BEST COVERAGE IS DIFFICULT AT THIS POINT...SINCE MUCH DEPENDS ON THE LOCATION AND MOVEMENT OF THE WEAK STATIONARY FRONT AND VARIOUS SHORTWAVE ENERGY EMBEDDED WITHIN THE FLOW ALOFT. MEDIUM RANGE MODEL SOLUTIONS ARE INDICATING THAT A STRONGER COLD FRONT WILL EVENTUALLY APPROACH THE SOUTHEAST STATES LATE IN THE WEEK...POSSIBLY AS EARLY AS THURSDAY...WITH POTENTIAL FRONTAL PASSAGE ONCE THE UPPER TROUGH AMPLIFIES DOWN TOWARD THE GULF COAST. IF THE FRONT CAN MOVE THROUGH THE FORECAST AREA BY FRIDAY...THEN EXPECT RAIN CHANCES TO DIMINISH AS HIGH PRESSURE AND DRIER AIR MOVE INTO THE AREA BEHIND THE DEPARTING FEATURE. EXPECT LITTLE VARIATION IN THE HIGH TEMPERATURES EACH DAY...WITH TEMPERATURES PEAKING IN THE LOWER 90S INLAND EACH AFTERNOON. && .AVIATION /20Z FRIDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/... MAINLY VFR. EXPECT SCATTERED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS THIS AFTERNOON...MAINLY NEAR KSAV. CHANCES COULD THEN INCREASE A BIT OVERNIGHT INTO SATURDAY...MAINLY AT KCHS...AS A STALLED FRONT OVER THE AREA LIFTS NORTHWARD AND ADDITIONAL SHORTWAVE ENERGY CONTINUES TO MOVE EAST THROUGH THE AREA. EXTENDED AVIATION OUTLOOK...EXPECT SCATTERED AND MAINLY DIURNAL SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WITH BRIEF PERIODS OF FLIGHT RESTRICTIONS THROUGH WEDNESDAY. && .MARINE... TONIGHT...GENERALLY SOUTH TO SOUTHEAST WINDS AOB 15 KT EXPECTED BETWEEN HIGH PRESSURE TO THE NORTH AND EAST AND WEAK LOW PRESSURE INLAND. SEAS 1-3 FT...HIGHEST EAST. SATURDAY...A STATIONARY FRONT WILL PERSIST ACROSS THE COASTAL WATERS...SITUATED EAST-WEST AND NEAR THE SAVANNAH RIVER. GENTLE EAST-SE BREEZES IN THE MORNING WILL BECOME MODERATE SE BREEZES IN THE AFTERNOON WITH SEA BREEZE ENHANCEMENT. SEAS NO HIGHER THAN 2 OR 3 FT. SATURDAY NIGHT INTO MONDAY...THE STATIONARY FRONT WILL WAVER A LITTLE NORTHWARD THE SECOND HALF OF THE WEEKEND...BEFORE DROPPING A BIT AGAIN SOUTHWARD MONDAY AS A WAVE OF LOW PRESSURE FORMS ALONG THE FRONT AND MOVES EAST/NE INTO THE ATLANTIC. THERE STILL ISN/T MUCH CHANGE TO THE CYCLONIC PRESSURE PATTERN...MAYBE A SMIDGEN TIGHTER...BUT NOTHING TO SUPPORT ANY WINDS HIGHER THAN 15 KT AND SEAS NO MORE THAN 3 FT. TUESDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY...THE LOW PRESSURE WAVE WILL LIFT AWAY FROM THE WATERS...LEAVING BEHIND A DIFFUSE COLD FRONT FROM NE TO SW AND INLAND FROM THE MARINE COMMUNITY. AT SOME POINT THERE SHOULD BE A LITTLE MORE PACKING OF THE PRESSURE PATTERN...BUT NOTHING TO PRODUCE ANY SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY CONDITIONS. WATERSPOUTS...FORECAST SOUNDINGS ARE QUITE FAVORABLE FOR WATERSPOUT DEVELOPMENT SATURDAY MORNING ACROSS OUR SOUTHERNMOST WATERS. HOWEVER...GIVEN SOME UNCERTAINTY AS TO WHETHER OR NOT THERE WILL BE ANY BOUNDARIES FOR THEM TO DEVELOP ALONG WE HAVE REFRAINED FROM ADDING TO THE HAZARDOUS WEATHER OUTLOOK AT THIS TIME. RIP CURRENTS...WE/LL BE CLOSE TO A MODERATE RISK OF RIP CURRENTS AT AREA BEACHES SATURDAY...BUT THAT/S DEPENDENT UPON HOW MUCH SWELL ENERGY...IF ANY REACHES THE BEACHES. AT THIS POINT WE PREFER TO BE MORE CONSERVATIVE AND CARRY ONLY A LOW RISK...WAITING TO SEE EXACTLY HOW MUCH SWELL DOES OCCUR. && .TIDES/COASTAL FLOODING... RAISED A COASTAL FLOOD ADVISORY FOR THE CHARLESTON COUNTY COASTAL AREAS FOR THIS EVENING/S HIGH TIDE WHICH IS PREDICTED BY THE GFS EXTRATROPICAL SURGE GUIDANCE TO BE OVER 7.0 FEET MEAN LOWER LOW WATER AT CHARLESTON HARBOR. TIDE LEVELS SHOULD REMAIN BELOW ADVISORY LEVELS ALONG THE NORTHERN GEORGIA COAST. THE PROXIGEAN SPRING TIDE...THE FULL MOON COINCIDENT WITH THE CLOSEST LUNAR PERIGEE OF THE YEAR...WILL PEAK THIS WEEKEND AND CREATE HIGHER THAN NORMAL ASTRONOMICAL TIDES. SINCE ONLY SMALL DEPARTURES ARE NEEDED ABOVE THE PREDICTED ASTRONOMICAL TIDE VALUES TO RESULT IN MINIMAL COASTAL FLOODING...EVEN WITH A RATHER WEAK ONSHORE FLOW THIS WILL STILL LIKELY BOOST TIDE LEVELS ABOVE CRITICAL THRESHOLDS...ESPECIALLY FOR THE SOUTH CAROLINA COAST. THE BEST CHANCE FOR COASTAL FLOOD ADVISORIES WOULD BE DURING THE EVENING HIGH TIDES INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK. AS ALWAYS...IF HEAVY RAIN OCCURS AROUND THE TIMES OF THE ELEVATED HIGH TIDES...RUNOFF WILL BE INHIBITED AND MORE SIGNIFICANT/LOCALIZED FLOODING COULD OCCUR WITHIN COASTAL COMMUNITIES. && .EQUIPMENT... THE CHARLESTON SC WSR-88D /KCLX/ REMAINS OUT OF SERVICE DUE TO A SIGNIFICANT MECHANICAL FAILURE. THE CURRENT ESTIMATE HAS THE RADAR RETURNING TO SERVICE BETWEEN AUGUST 21 AND 25. && .CHS WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... GA...NONE. SC...COASTAL FLOOD ADVISORY UNTIL 9 PM EDT THIS EVENING FOR SCZ050. MARINE...NONE. && NEAR TERM...RJB SHORT TERM...33 LONG TERM... AVIATION...33/RJB MARINE...33/RJB TIDES/COASTAL FLOODING... EQUIPMENT...
