What Has Changed

All sections have been updated.

Key Messages

- 1) A multi-day coastal flooding event will continue this week.

- 2) Enhanced northeast flow will lead to a high risk for rip currents into mid-week along South Carolina and Georgia beaches.

- 3) Dry and warming conditions will continue through the week before rain chances increase late weekend.

Discussion

Astronomical tides will continue to rise into early this week due to today's full moon (10/26) and the lunar perigee (10/28). Northeasterly flow at the surface have driven an increase in tidal departures. The combination of the highest astronomical tides of the year and persistent strong northeast flow will result in threat of at least minor coastal flooding through the remainder of this week.

This Evening: North-northeast flow will continue today, but is expected to gradually weaken into evening hours. Departures should remain smaller as a result, and should support total water levels that fall just short minor flooding. Therefore, a Coastal Flood Advisory is not planned for the Charleston/Coastal Colleton Coast for the evening high tide cycle. Coastal flooding is not expected across southern coastal SC and coastal GA areas during the evening high tide cycle as Fort Pulaski is also forecast to remain shy of minor flood stage.

Rest of This Week: Coastal flooding is forecast to occur with the Tuesday and Wednesday morning high tide cycles, with minor flooding possible through the end of the week. During these cycles, it is possible that the Charleston Harbor could exceed moderate flood stage. Winds will slightly relax as the week progresses, leading to lowering tidal departures. Coastal Flood Advisories will likely be needed.

KEY MESSAGE 2: Enhanced northeast flow will lead to a high risk for rip currents into mid-week along South Carolina and Georgia beaches.

Rip Currents: Strong northeast winds, long-period swell and ongoing wave action will continue to support dangerous rip currents along all SC/GA beaches into mid week. A High Risk for rip currents is in place for all beaches this afternoon through Tuesday as a result, and should persist for all beaches again Wednesday. Conditions should start to improve mid-late week as long-period swell decreases and winds weaken beyond peak astronomical factors occurring earlier in the week.

KEY MESSAGE 3: Dry and warming conditions will continue through the week before rain chances increase late weekend.

Aviation

VFR Conditions are expected at CHS/JZI/SAV terminals through 18Z Tuesday. However, gusty north-northeast winds (up to 12-17 kt) are possible at all terminals this afternoon.

Extended Aviation Outlook: Breezy north-northeast winds are expected at KCHS/KJZI/KSAV daily through the week.
