$$What forecasters said that day
The local office's own words before this rip current statement went out, 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 this rip current statement went out at Sep 8, 5:29 PM EDT, 1 hour 24 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Sep 8, 5:29 PM EDT, 1 hour 24 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Charleston SC 529 PM EDT Thu Sep 8 2022 .SYNOPSIS... A cold front will remain south of the area into Friday, before likely shifting back into the area over the weekend. Another cold front could impact the region during the early to middle of next week. && .NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM FRIDAY MORNING/... Morning cloudiness gradually thinned out and temps have risen into the mid to upper 80s across the area. The sea breeze has developed but has made little inland progress. Scattered showers and tstms have been developing along the sea breeze across coastal SC/GA. Additional convection has been developing along the Altamaha River in association with the stalled front and increasing upper vorticity on the eastern periphery of the upper low. As the upper low starts to shift northeast tonight, south to southeast low/mid level flow across the area will strengthen, pushing PWATs to around 2.2" by daybreak Friday. The coastal trough along the SC coast is expected to strengthen late tonight. An expanding area of showers and tstms over the Atlantic will spread into coastal areas late tonight. There will also be increasing upper level omega across southeast GA on the eastern periphery of the upper low which should support increasing coverage of convection in that area as well. Locations near the SC/GA coast could pick up 1-2" of rain through tonight, while some locations just inland from the GA coast could see 2-3". && .SHORT TERM /6 AM FRIDAY MORNING THROUGH SUNDAY/... Aloft, a closed low centered across the northern Gulf of Mexico and Deep South will slowly shift north this weekend, eventually phasing with a longwave trough tracking across the Central United States to the Northeast by early next week. At the sfc, high pressure centered across the Mid-Atlantic and Northeast states will gradually give way to the approaching low/longwave trough, helping sfc low pressure associated with the cutoff low to advance north and a front to drift back into southern areas and/or along the coast this weekend well ahead of a cold front advancing closer to the region early next week. The overall pattern favors deep moisture to be drawn from the Gulf of Mexico and Atlantic, setting up an unsettled pattern across the Southeast through the weekend. Friday appears the be of most concern in regards to the potential of heavy rains and a marginal risk of severe weather across the local area, but much will depend on the position of a front across/near southern areas and/or near the coast in regards to stronger storms. The mid-upper-lvl low positioned to the west is expected to draw moisture across the front in an environment already displaying PWATs in excess of 2.0 inches. Although showers/thunderstorms should move along, the combination of shortwave energy rippling across the region, moisture convergence, and favorable isentropic lift across the local area suggests widespread showers along with a few embedded thunderstorms capable of producing heavy rains/flooding, especially since the front remains somewhat anchored across the area for an extended time. Rainfall amounts in the 2-4 inch range are expected, locally higher amounts are possible, especially across southern areas near the coast. Flood Advisories should eventually be needed. Further south, the risk for stronger thunderstorms is a bit higher, but will be highly dependent on the northward progression of the front. Modest low-lvl winds and instability wrapping around the eastern edge of the northern tracking sfc low combined with ample forcing associated with the front and mid-lvl shortwave energy rippling across the region, suggest a few strong and/or marginally severe thunderstorms near the front across southeast Georgia capable of damaging winds in the form of wet downbursts given deep moisture and poor low-mid lvl lapse rates. There also appears to be a small window of time for a weaker tornado across southeast Georgia given a backing wind component along the sfc low and 25-30 kt 0-6km bulk shear present during highest instability (mainly mid-late afternoon hours), but widespread rain/showers and cloud cover should limit a tornado threat considerably and likely keep the risk south of the local area or perhaps offshore. Saturday and Sunday: The main concern for the remainder of the weekend will continue to be a locally heavy rainfall threat and potential for flooding, given a continuation of h5 shortwave energy rippling across the Southeast United States and the vicinity of a front. The issue could be exacerbated along the coast if rainfall coincides with high tide (see tide section below). WPC currently highlights most of the area in a Marginal to Slight Risk Saturday, which could eventually be extended into Sunday. The severe weather threat will remain low. Rainfall totals Saturday through Sunday should average in the 1-3 inch range, highest near the immediate coast, but isolated higher amounts are possible. High temperatures during the weekend will average below normal with clouds and rain around. It will be coolest on Friday when highs top out around the upper 70s to lower 80s, but should slowly warm to the mid 80s Saturday and Sunday. Lows will mainly be in the low to mid 70s. && .LONG TERM /SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY/... Ridging off the Southeast coast will weaken early next week as an expansive mid level trough and phasing closed low shifts towards the East Coast. Meanwhile, a cold front will slowly progress into the region Monday night into Tuesday, possibly stalling in the vicinity mid week. Showers and thunderstorms will be possible each day, but it doesn't look as active/wet as the upcoming weekend. It should return to a more typical diurnal pattern. Temperatures will largely be within a few degrees of normal. && .AVIATION /22Z THURSDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/... Occasional MVFR ceilings expected at KSAV through much of the 18Z TAF period due to the front stalled just to the south. Radar trends and latest guidance show a pretty good chance for thunderstorms near KSAV late this afternoon, with rain showers then continuing through much of Friday. Farther to the north at KCHS/KJZI, only sporadic MVFR ceilings expected through late tonight, then prevailing MVFR expected to develop around daybreak. Scattered showers possible late this afternoon through tonight, with prevailing showers developing around daybreak Friday and continuing much of the day. Extended Aviation Outlook: Periodic flight restrictions in showers and thunderstorms are likely through the weekend and into early next week. && .MARINE... High pressure over the Mid-Atlantic will persist through tonight. A modest afternoon sea breeze will gradually diminish this evening, allowing coastal winds to shift back to the NE late this evening. Winds will be 10-15 kt with seas 3-4 ft. Friday through Tuesday: Onshore flow will prevail through the weekend, then gradually veer south early next week as high pressure to the north shifts offshore in advance of a cold front arriving late Monday into Tuesday. The pressure gradient between the high and low pressure tracking inland will favor a slightly enhanced gradient across local waters and wind speeds topping out near 15-20 kt, staying just shy of Small Craft Advisory criteria early this weekend. Winds will then weaken, averaging 15 kt or less late weekend into early next week. Seas will be 3-5 ft initially, then subside to 2-4 ft. There will be potential for stronger winds and reduced visibilities within showers and thunderstorms which should be plentiful through at least the weekend. Rip Currents: Long period swell around 11-12 seconds being generated from distant Hurricane Earl combined with onshore winds will lead to an elevated risk of rip currents at all of our beaches through the weekend. The current forecast features a Moderate Risk of Rip currents for all beaches into the evening, a High Risk for all beaches Friday, and a continuation of at least a Moderate Risk along all beaches Saturday. && .TIDES/COASTAL FLOODING... We opted to raise a Coastal Flood Advisory for Charleston and coastal Colleton County with the evening high tide. Expecting flooding that will be at Moderate levels, with a forecast of 7.5 to 7.7 ft MLLW. Conditions will be close to Minor flooding levels elsewhere along the remainder of the coast. But this will be a decision made by around 630 PM since it will be very close to flooding or not. The combination of the upcoming full moon and onshore winds will lead to elevated tide cycles through the weekend. Coastal Flood Advisories will likely be needed, especially with the evening high tides into the weekend. The risk will be highest along the Charleston and Colleton County coasts, where minor to moderate coastal flooding will be possible. Further south, tide levels could approach minor flood levels. In addition, conditions will be exacerbated if rainfall coincides with the time of high tide. && .CHS WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... GA...None. SC...None.
