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

Did it verify

Not verified. The Iowa Environmental Mesonet's Cow found no qualifying storm report inside this flash flood warning while it was in force. That is not proof nothing happened: reports are thin where few people live.

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.

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 Charleston, SC wrote its last area forecast discussion before this flash flood warning went out at Aug 30, 1:56 PM EDT, 1 hour 17 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Aug 30, 1:56 PM EDT, 1 hour 17 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Charleston SC
156 PM EDT Wed Aug 30 2023

.SYNOPSIS...
Hurricane Idalia is expected to bring significant impacts to
the area today into Thursday morning. High pressure will then
return late week and continue into the weekend.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...
Center of Idalia is across far southern Georgia (Clinch county
per KJAX radar). Initial heavy rainband is advancing through the
far northern part of the CWA...wrapping into an axis of more
persistent rainfall across the northwestern two-thirds of the
CWA. Idalia will continue to track up through the southeast GA
counties along with the strongest associated winds through the
afternoon hours. Circulation center (and strongest winds) is
expected to slide up through the SC counties during the evening.
Heaviest total rainfall is still looking to occur across the
western part of the CWA (4 to 8 inches) with lesser amounts
toward the coast.

As Idalia moves through South Carolina overnight, the impacts
will eventually taper off from south-southwest to north-
northeast through the night, and temperatures will drop to the
lower and middle 70s.

&&

.SHORT TERM /THURSDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/...
Thursday: The region will likely still be feeling some of the
effects of Idalia Thursday morning as it departs the forecast area
in the morning hours. Rainfall is expected to have already cleared
the areas across southeastern GA by Thursday morning. Rainfall
across southeastern SC is expected to taper off through the morning
hours, continuing to clear from southwest to northeast as the storm
departs the region. Winds could remain breezy on the backside of the
storm through the afternoon hours, with gusts around 20 mph
possible, especially across southeastern SC. With strong northerly
flow temperatures are expected to only reach into the upper 70s
across most of southeastern SC. Low to mid 80s are forecast across
southeastern GA. Overnight lows will dip into the mid 60s inland
with upper 60s closer to the coastline.

Friday and Saturday: High pressure will build into the region at the
surface while aloft heights rise as ridging builds into the area.
The resulting forecast will be quiet pleasant, with POPs no higher
than 15%. Temperatures will be several degrees below normal, with
highs only reaching into the low to mid 80s. Dew points only in the
low 60s will yield pleasant weather heading into the holiday
weekend, especially after the heat of the last month.

&&

.LONG TERM /SATURDAY NIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
High pressure will continue to build in at the surface through the
weekend and into early next week while ridging builds in aloft as
well. Subsidence from the building high pressure will yield POPs
generally less than 15%. Temperatures will be slightly below normal
Sunday, gradually warming into early next week.

&&

.AVIATION /18Z WEDNESDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...
KCHS/KJZI/KSAV: Initial heavy rainband has moved through the
terminal locations with a bit more showery conditions persisting
through the afternoon and into the evening. Generally MVFR
conditions with occasional IFR conditions possible.

Wind-wise: Strongest winds will be reaching the SAV terminal
between now and around 00Z, with gusts up to 35 knots possible.
Idalia circulation will pass overhead of SAV with winds turning
into the WNW this evening. CHS/JZI will have their strongest
winds between 23Z and 03Z with winds turning into the WNW
overnight.

Extended Aviation Outlook: KCHS/KJZI: Breezy conditions are
possible Thursday with N to NW winds gusting to around 20 mph.
Some low cigs and low vis are possible Thursday morning as some
remnant showers linger before Idalia moves out of the forecast
area. Thereafter, prevailing VFR.

KSAV: Prevailing VFR.

&&

.MARINE...
Today and tonight: Extremely dangerous marine conditions will
overspread the coastal waters as Hurricane Idalia passes into
the Southeast States, with tropical storm force winds spreading
in from south to north with time. Gusty winds and isolated
waterspouts will also accompany any squalls and feeder bands
that impact the local waters. Mariners should remain in port.

Thursday: Idalia is forecast to move out of the marine waters by
Thursday afternoon, with conditions improving quickly after it's
departure. However, some lingering 6 ft seas will be possible,
especially across the Charleston County nearshore waters. Once the
tropical headlines are discontinued a Small Craft Advisory may be
needed. By the afternoon N to NW winds are forecast to remain around
15 to 20 knots with an occasional gust to 25 knots possible.

Friday through Monday: High pressure will build into the region
after Idalia pushes further offshore and out of the local marine
waters. N to NE winds, generally around 15 knots will prevail. Seas
will remain slightly elevated as swell from Idalia continues to
impact the local waters. 4 to 6 ft is forecast over the nearshore
waters, with 5 to 7 ft possible over the 20-60 nm offshore GA
waters. Small Craft Advisories will likely be needed through the
weekend.

Rip Currents: The approach of Idalia, swells from Franklin,
plus the enhanced astronomical influences due to the Perigean
Spring Tides (the full moon and the perigee) will yield a High
Risk of rip currents at all beaches today. An enhanced risk of
rip currents will persist through the remainder of the week as
longer period swell continues to impact the local beaches. In
addition, large breaking waves are expected to impact the
beaches.

Longer period swell from distant Hurricane Franklin, remnant
effects of Idalia, and enhanced astronomical influences due to
the full moon will yield a High Risk of rip currents across SC
beaches on Thursday. A Moderate Risk of rip currents is in
effect for the GA beaches.

&&

.HYDROLOGY...
The latest forecast has been adjusted just a bit further east
from previous, showing an average of 4-8 inches across the
counties from Berkeley to Allendale and Hampton in South
Carolina, and then from Screven to Evans and Tattnall in
Georgia. Most other locations will receive 2-4 inch rain
amounts, which includes the Charleston, Beaufort and Savannah
regions. Any deviation in the path of Idalia could result in
amounts that are higher or lower. A Flood Watch remains in
effect into tonight, and Flash Flood Warnings are likely to be
issued. In addition, some of the heavier rainfall is expected
to occur this evening, coinciding with the high tide, which will
exacerbate the flash flooding threat. These rain amounts will
also impact area rivers, with one warning already in effect for
Burton's Ferry on the Savannah River.

&&

.TIDES/COASTAL FLOODING...
Astronomical high tides remain elevated this week, with today's
evening high tides being of particular concern at both Charleston
Harbor and Fort Pulaski. Although we might even reach minor
coastal flooding in Charleston Harbor with the morning high
tide. The potential for coastal inundation will then be
exacerbated by the approach and passage of Idalia tonight. The
timing for Idalia moving in (or the peak surge) is also right at
the time of this evenings high tide. This will result
significant coastal flooding, especially from the Tybee and St.
Catherine's locations north to the Charleston, Sullivan's island
and Isle of Palms regions. Major coastal flooding will likely
occur in Charleston Harbor and potentially at Fort Pulaski. Both
sites could peak in the top 10 crests in recorded history.

After Idalia passes, tides will rapidly fall as offshore winds
commence. By Sunday, offshore winds will weaken with the potential
for more coastal flooding issues early next week.
