Mesoscale Precipitation Discussion 1454

Areas affected...Southern Georgia...Northern Florida...
Concerning...Heavy rainfall...Flash flooding possible
Valid 051610Z - 052200Z
SUMMARY...Slow moving, potentially repeating/back-building cells
in a very saturated atmosphere and soil conditions may support
localized or reaggrivation of rapid inundation flooding.
Additional 2-4+" totals and rates over 2.5"/hr remain possible.
DISCUSSION...GOES-E Visible and 10.3um EIR show a few cooling
clusters in proximity to the deep layer moisture axis and
stationary frontal zone across northern Florida and southern
Georgia, generally located at the coast where instability is
greatest and is expected to increase further with filtered
insolation. 16z surface analysis denotes a developing surface
wave near ECP in the FL Panhandle and a secondary likely between
Valdosta and Waycross, GA, with the stationary front extending
eastward into the Georgia Bight. Each wave is providing
increased downstream moisture flux convergence in proximity to the
higher 2000 J/kg and 1500 J/kg, respectively instability pools to
feed the currently shallow convection. However, deep layer trough
is flattening but also exiting toward the northeast across
southern GA, helping to drive some surface circulation and FGEN
due to strengthening northerly flow along the Atlantic coast.
This is concurrently resulting in increased confluent upstream
flow into the Bay/Gulf county coastlines further supporting
convergence with increasing 15-20kts of inflow.
While cells in SE GA into the Atlantic are expected to be more
progressive, there are a few of them already along the front in a
favorable orientation for repeating/training in the near term and
while not fully capable of the full potential of 2.5-3"/hr rates
(given total PWats of 2.5"+), the shallow cells have had some
suggestion of 1.5-2"/hr potential and while moving over swampier
areas, streak of 2-4" totals with recently saturated upper soils,
suggest at least some inundation flooding potential will be
possible over the next few hours, especially near/in urban centers
that along I-95.
Further west, the concern is greater for localized rapid
inundation, mainly due to the higher urbanization, but the
strengthening onshore/confluent flow and frictional convergence
will allow for redevelopment upon the upwind edge of the
convective clusters. Deep layer flow parallel to the boundary as
well as increasing surface temperatures downstream into southern
GA/northern FL will help to increase modest instability for
convective maintenance. The repeating of 2-2.5"/hr rates
suggests localized 3-4" are more probable into the early
afternoon, with some aggressive 12z CAMs even as high as locally
6-7", while this seems less likely, the available moisture is
clearly there and even slight increase in surface heating within
the deeply saturated profile could quickly escalate MLCAPE values
and therefore vertical loading to support 3"/hr rates.
All considered, with deep layer moisture, modest instability and
favorable training profiles crossing an already saturated ground,
localized incidents of flash/rapid inundation flooding are
considered possible; though confidence in any given location is
below average, but slightly better along the coastal and with
urban sites.
