May 27 (Reuters) - A tropical storm warning, the year's first for the United States, was issued on Friday by the National Weather Service for the coast of South Carolina, five days before the official start of the Atlantic hurricane season.


The bulletin, posted by the National Hurricane Center in Miami, warned of tropical storm conditions reaching South Carolina's coastline within 36 hours - in the midst of the Memorial Day holiday weekend - from the Savannah River north to the Little River Inlet.
