* RIP CURRENTS...Strong rip currents will be hazardous to those 
  in the surf zone along the Atlantic beaches. 

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

There is a high risk of rip currents.

Rip currents are powerful channels of water flowing quickly away
from shore, which occur most often at low spots or breaks in the
sandbar and in the vicinity of structures such as groins, jetties
and piers. Heed the advice of lifeguards, beach patrol flags and
signs.

Swim near a lifeguard. If caught in a rip current, relax and
float. Don't swim against the current. If able, swim in a
direction following the shoreline. If unable to escape, face the
shore and call or wave for help.

What forecasters said that day

The local office's own words before this coastal flood statement went out, as it sent them, from the Iowa Environmental Mesonet's archive of National Weather Service text.

NWS Miami, FL wrote its last area forecast discussion before this coastal flood statement went out at Oct 7, 7:55 PM EDT, 2 hours 27 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Oct 7, 7:55 PM EDT, 2 hours 27 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Miami FL
755 PM EDT Sun Oct 7 2018

.AVIATION...
East winds, at times gusting to over 25 knots, will prevail
through the period, with highest speeds likely during the day
Monday. Scattered showers will gradually spread northward
overnight, then encompass the region Monday. Best chance for
showers and isolated thunderstorms will be midday through
afternoon, and over Naples and Miami-Dade.

&&

.PREV DISCUSSION... /issued 751 PM EDT Sun Oct 7 2018/

UPDATE...
Deeper moisture will continue to work northward tonight into South
Florida from the Caribbean Sea, as Tropical Storm Michael
continues to move slowly northward from the NW Caribbean Sea into
the Southern Gulf of Mexico. This will allow for the isolated
showers over the east coast metro areas to spread over rest of
South Florida tonight and become more scattered in natural late
tonight into early Monday morning. There could also be a few
thunderstorms late tonight over the region. Therefore, the pops
and weather has been adjusted a little bit for late tonight over
South Florida.

Rest of the forecast looks good at this time and no other changes
are planned at this time depending on the track and strength of
Tropical storm Michael.

UPDATE...54/BNB

PREV DISCUSSION... /issued 418 PM EDT Sun Oct 7 2018/

.WATCHING TROPICAL STORM MICHAEL EARLY THIS WEEK...
.HIGH RISK OF RIP CURRENTS ATLANTIC BEACHES EARLY THIS WEEK...

DISCUSSION...

TONIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY...
High pressure over the Western Atlantic waters will remain nearly
stationary through Tuesday, as Tropical storm Michael is forecast
by the National Hurricane Center (NHC) to move northward from the
Northwestern Caribbean Sea through the Eastern Gulf of Mexico
towards the Florida Panhandle.

The effects from Michael should be limited to far outer feeder
bands starting late tonight through Tuesday especially over the
western areas of South Florida. There could also be a few
waterspouts and isolated tornadoes especially over the western
areas and Gulf waters. The winds will also be increasing to breezy
to windy from the easterly direction late tonight through
Tuesday, due to the pressure gradient between the high to the east
and Michael to the west of South Florida.

WEDNESDAY THROUGH FRIDAY...
Michael is forecast by NHC to weaken and move north northeast
across the Southeastern United States into Mid Atlantic States
around the high pressure system in the Atlantic waters. A trough
of low pressure will also develop from Michael southwest into the
Florida Peninsula and become stationary over the central portion
of the state. This will allow for the wind flow to become
south/southwest over South Florida keep the deep tropical moisture
in place. The wind speeds will also be decreasing to 15 knots or
less late this week over the region. Therefore, scattered to
numerous pops will remain in place over South Florida with the
best coverage over the Lake Okeechobee and northeastern areas.

EXTENDED FORECAST...
High pressure will then build back into the Florida Peninsula for
next weekend allowing for the winds to become easterly over the
region. Therefore, scattered showers and thunderstorms will be
possible this weekend with the focus over the interior and west
coast metro areas.

MARINE...

Based of the latest forecast from the NHC on Tropical Storm
Michael, the winds should be easterly around 20 knots tonight
before increasing to 20 to 25 knots for Monday and Monday night.
The winds will then slowly decrease and swing to a more southerly
direction Tuesday night into Wednesday. This will allow for the
Atlantic seas to increase to around 7 feet for Monday into Monday
night with the Gulf waters building up to 8 feet in the offshore
Gulf waters by Tuesday into Tuesday night. Therefore, an SCA will
continue for all of South Florida waters through Tuesday morning.

BEACH FORECAST...
The threat of rip currents will also continue to the east coast
beaches of South Florida through at least Tuesday. Therefore, the
High threat of Rip Currents will be extended through Tuesday
evening for the east coast beaches.

The October new moon phase is early this week. This will allow for
the high tides to be about half a foot to around 1 foot above the
normal tide levels for this time of year. This could lead to some
possible minor coastal flooding issues during the high tide
periods early to middle part of this week. Will continue to
monitor latest conditions.

...HIGH RISK OF RIP CURRENTS ATLANTIC BEACHES...
...SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY ALL WATERS...

This hazardous weather outlook is for South Florida.

.DAY ONE...TONIGHT

Rip currents: There is a high risk of rip currents on Atlantic
beaches.

Thunderstorms: Isolated thunderstorms are possible, especially
late tonight over southwestern Florida. Lightning is the primary
hazard.

Wind: East wind of 15 to 25 knots with higher gusts will be hazardous
to mariners on all South Florida waters. A Small Craft Advisory is in
effect.

Waves: Seas of 6 to 7 feet are expected by late tonight over Atlantic
waters and outer Gulf Waters. A Small Craft Advisory is in effect.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...MONDAY THROUGH SATURDAY

Tropical Storm Michael is currently forecast to become a hurricane
as it lifts north through the central and eastern Gulf of Mexico
early this week. This system is not expected to have a direct impact
on South Florida. Deep moisture will bring widespread squally weather
through at least mid week. The main hazards will be gusty winds,
flooding, and isolated tornadoes.

Marine conditions will deteriorate due to the influence of Tropical
Storm Michael in both the Atlantic and Gulf waters starting tonight.
Advisory conditions are likely through at least mid week. A high
risk of rip currents will continue in the Atlantic waters with a
potential for an elevated risk along the Gulf Beaches starting
Tuesday.

Low-lying coastal areas prone to flooding from astronomical high
tides could also see impacts from heavy rainfall that drains more
slowly due to the elevated high tides. Coastal areas could see high
tides up to 1 foot higher than predicted through Thursday.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...

Spotter activation will not be needed.
