Strong deep-layered forcing and modest warm air advection under the left exit region of a 150 kt upper-level jet led to an environment displaying mixed layered convective available potential energy (MLCAPE) between 1500-1800 J/kg, enhanced downdraft CAPE (DCAPE), and upper 60 to lower 70 surface dewpoint temperatures supportive of vigorous thunderstorms late afternoon into evening hours. Heading into early evening hours, numerous thunderstorms developed across the local area, initially producing hail and damaging winds well ahead of a strengthening quasi-liner convective system (QLCS) well inland. As the QLCS tracked across southeast South Carolina during late evening hours, shear profiles were supportive of embedded supercell thunderstorms capable of producing damaging straight-line winds within bowing line segments (rear inflow jet) and tornadoes near bookend vortices.
