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

.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.
