Local storm reports filed while the alert was in force, from inside its polygon or its counties.

Did it verify

Verified. The Iowa Environmental Mesonet's Cow matched one storm report to this flash flood warning; the first came 89 minutes after it went out.

Cow counts a report within 15 km of the polygon while the warning was in force: a tornado for a tornado warning; hail of 1 inch or more, a gust of 58 mph or more or wind damage for a severe thunderstorm warning; a flash flood report for a flash flood warning.

  Northeastern Georgetown County in northeastern South Carolina...
  Southeastern Horry County in northeastern South Carolina...

* Until 630 PM EDT.

* At 325 PM EDT, Doppler radar indicated heavy rain across the 
  warned area. Five to seven inches of rain has fallen so far today 
  and additional heavy rain bands from Hurricane Dorian will move 
  westward into the warned area over the next couple of hours. A 
  combination of flash flooding and coastal flooding will affect the 
  warned area.  

* Some locations that will experience flooding include...
  Myrtle Beach, North Myrtle Beach, Surfside Beach, Myrtle Beach

What forecasters said that day

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

NWS Wilmington, NC wrote its last area forecast discussion before this flash flood warning went out at Sep 5, 11:44 AM EDT, 3 hours 45 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Sep 5, 11:44 AM EDT, 3 hours 45 minutes before

Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Wilmington NC
1144 AM EDT Thu Sep 5 2019

.SYNOPSIS...
Hurricane Dorian will pass east of the area late tonight before
accelerating to the northeast Friday. Dry weather is expected
for the weekend. A cold front may cross the area early to middle
of next week.

&&

.UPDATE...
925-850 mb helicity to remain elevated near the coast from
Horry county northward through morning, shifting north of Cape
Fear into afternoon. This to sustain isolated marine tornadoes,
capable of moving onshore, with 50-60 knots of ENE-NE wind at
2000 feet much of today. No significant forecast changes needed
to the morning updates.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH FRIDAY/...
The worst conditions associated With Dorian will occur late
this afternoon thru this evening and partially into the pre-dawn
Fri hours. The synoptic mid-level amplifying trof diving
southeast from the Upper Midwest, will force Dorian to
accelerate to the north this morning, and to the northeast later
this afternoon thru tonight and Fri. The veering to the
northeast will be the next critical element to Dorian's track. A
late turn to the northeast would spell a worse case scenario
with the possibility of Dorian's eye traversing the immediate
coast. At this time, model consensus keeps the eye over the
adjacent Atl waters, just beyond the local coastal waters. The
QPF has been updated with the difference from the previous QPF
showed slightly hier rainfall along and west of the I-95
corridor. This a result of Dorian's slight expansion of it's
wind and it's pcpn fields. Max temps today will likely stay in
the 70s with a few low 80s possible. If enough dry air is
entrained after Dorian's passage, this could result in a few
locations dropping into the upper 60s for tonights lows.

&&

.SHORT TERM /FRIDAY NIGHT/...
Mid-level trough responsible for shuffling Dorian northeast on Fri
lingers over the East coast through Sat before shifting east. Flat
flow aloft late Sat and Sat night will prevent any real reduction in
deep dry air across the area in the wake of Dorian, keeping the
forecast area rain free. In fact very little in the way of cloud
cover will be found across the region. Temperatures will run above
climo with northwest winds adding a bit of downslope component to
highs Sat.

&&

.LONG TERM /SATURDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
Weak mid-level ridge lingers over the Southeast through the middle
of next week. Ridge is not really strong enough to prevent diurnal
convection, but a lack of moisture Sun/Mon will limit storm chances.
Increasing deep moisture Tue/Wed, as a backdoor cold front slips
into the area, will lead to an increase in storm coverage. Lack of
forcing means the bulk of the convection will be diurnally driven
with storms weakening around sunset.

-Low rainfall chances early next week will increase by the middle of
the week as a backdoor cold front moves in.

-Temperatures above climo Sun/Mon will be near climo Tue/Wed.

&&

.AVIATION /13Z THURSDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...
Hurricane Dorian is approaching with tropical/hurricane conditions
expected. Winds will increase throughout the day, peaking this
evening with hurricane gusts. Winds will shift to the northwest late
tonight as the storms begins to pull away.

Extended...Impacts from Hurricane Dorian likely to bring
MVFR/IFR/LIFR conditions to the area terminals thru Friday,
especially along the coast. VFR conditions expected late Friday
through the weekend.

&&

.MARINE...
Dorian's track will govern the area winds across the local
waters. The eye may at times partially track across the 20 nm
mark. Which would mean a partial of it's eye wall affecting the
area waters. See the latest online graphics and text devoted to
Dorian for specific winds and speeds at 1 hour increments. With
the eye staying along or just east of the 20 nm mark, winds will
back in time, ie. East to Northeast this afternoon, Northeast to
North this evening, and to Northwest late this evening and
overnight...signifying Dorian's eye has passed by. Windspeeds
will be strong tropical force with hurricane force in the bands
surrounding the eye wall. Significant seas will likely peak at
triple to quadruple overhead and possibly push 30 ft before all
is said and done. Shallow bathymetry areas like Frying Pan
Shoals, will limit significant seas. The outer and eventual
inner rainbands of Dorian will have the potential to produce
less than 1 nm visibility in heavy rain at times and also the
possibility of waterspouts given the increased low-level
helicity.

Offshore flow in the wake of Dorian will gradually veer to north-
northeast late Fri night into Sat. Weak gradient will allow the sea
breeze to become a more dominant feature over the weekend. Approach
of backdoor cold front next week enhances light onshore flow with
speeds increasing to 10 to 15 kt Mon. Seas 4 to 6 ft Fri night drop
under 4 ft by Sat with west-southwest wind wave being replaced by
east-southeast wind wave for Sun and Mon.

&&

.TIDES/COASTAL FLOODING...
The combined impacts of tides, incoming large waves, strong
onshore winds, and storm surge, will lead to coastal flooding
and noticeable erosion of sand, and dune overwash as Dorian
tracks up the Southeast coast. This in conjunction with periods
of heavy rainfall, will lead to flooding along the coast and
barrier islands, including some beach roads. The greatest
impacts will be around the times of high tide on Thursday, both
in the early afternoon and overnight after midnight. As Dorian
exits the area early Friday, strong offshore winds will produce
blowout tides especially during low tide Fri morning.
