\n413 AM EDT SUN OCT 04 2015<\/p>\nAREAS AFFECTED…NORTHEAST GA…SC…SOUTHEAST NC <\/p>\n
CONCERNING…HEAVY RAINFALL…FLASH FLOODING LIKELY <\/p>\n
VALID 040813Z – 041413Z<\/p>\n
SUMMARY…HISTORIC RAINFALL EVENT CONTINUES ACROSS MUCH OF SOUTH
\nCAROLINA THIS MORNING WITH VERY HEAVY RAINFALL RATES EXPECTED.<\/strong>
\nWIDESPREAD AND SERIOUS FLASH FLOODING IS LIKELY TO REMAIN A
\nPROBLEM THROUGH 10 AM.<\/strong><\/p>\nDISCUSSION…A HUGE MOISTURE PLUME FEEDING INTO THE NORTH SIDE OF
\nTHE CLOSED UPPER LEVEL LOW OVER THE SOUTHEAST U.S. HAS MOVED VERY
\nLITTLE OVER THE PAST SEVERAL HOURS. TREMENDOUS MID AND UPPER
\nLEVEL DIVERGENCE WITHIN THIS PLUME IS ALLOWING FOR VIGOROUS ASCENT
\nIN AN ENVIRONMENT WITH 1.8 TO 2.3 INCH PW VALUES. SOME OF THIS
\nMOISTURE IS ORIGINATING FROM HURRICANE JOAQUIN. MUCAPE VALUES OF
\n1000-2000 J\/KG NEAR THE SC COAST ARE HELPING TO FURTHER ENHANCE
\nRAINFALL RATES. A COASTAL FRONT NEAR THE SC\/NC COAST REMAINS
\nNEARLY STATIONARY AND IS ACTING AS THE FOCUS FOR CONVECTION WITH
\nTHE HIGHEST RAINFALL RATES. THE AXIS OF HEAVIEST PRECIPITATION
\nMAY PIVOT TOWARDS SOUTHEAST NORTH CAROLINA BORDER BY MID MORNING.<\/p>\nHI RES GUIDANCE INDICATES THAT LOCAL AMOUNTS OF 3-6″ ARE POSSIBLE
\nWITHIN THIS REGION OVER THE NEXT SIX HOURS, AND COULD FALL AT
\nRATES OF UP TO THREE INCHES PER HOUR AT TIMES. THESE TYPES OF
\nRAINFALL RATES ARE LIKELY TO CREATE SIGNIFICANT PROBLEMS IN URBAN
\nAREAS SUCH AS CHARLESTON, GREENVILLE\/SPARTANBURG, COLUMBIA, AND
\nAUGUSTA.<\/strong> RADAR ESTIMATES HAVE BEEN RUNNING ABOUT 30 TO 50% TOO
\nLOW OVER THIS REGION OWING TO EFFICIENT RAINFALL PRODUCTION IN A
\nHIGH PW ENVIRONMENT. THE GROUND IS COMPLETELY SATURATED ACROSS
\nNORTHEAST GA AND MOST OF SC WHERE RAINFALL OVERNIGHT HAS BEEN
\nPERSISTENT. CONSIDERING THE RAINFALL EXPECTED, COMBINED WITH WHAT
\nHAS ALREADY FALLEN, MAJOR TO LOCALIZED CATASTROPHIC FLASH FLOODING
\nALONG WITH POSSIBLE LANDSLIDES AND MUDSLIDES IN THE HIGHER
\nELEVATIONS OF SC AND GA REMAIN AN ONGOING CONCERN.<\/strong><\/p>\nHAMRICK<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
