    Areas affected...southeastern Georgia, southern South Carolina

    Concerning...Heavy rainfall...Flash flooding possible

    Valid 291000Z - 291600Z

    Summary...Deep convection has exhibited a modest increase in
    coverage over the past 1-2 hours around a weak tropical wave
    centered over southeastern Georgia. A few hours of heavier
    rainfall could result in localized, but isolated flash flood
    potential over the next few hours.

    Discussion...Over the past 1-2 hours, deep, yet slow-moving
    convection has developed around the center of a weak tropical low
    over southeastern Georgia. Areas of hourly rain rates approaching
    2 inches was already noted west of Savannah. The convection was
    located in an abundantly moist airmass, with PW values exceeding
    2.25 inches. Additionally, MLCAPE values across the discussion
    area range from 500 J/kg in inland areas to 2000 J/kg nearer to
    the coast. These values - along with low-level convergence
    associated with the tropical low - should promote additional,
    persistent heavier downpours at times today.

    The convection should occur across areas of FFG thresholds in the
    2.5-3 inch/hr and 3-4 inch/3-hr range. Flash flooding will become
    possible as longer-lived convection manages to persist for longer
    than an hour. Low-lying and/or urbanized areas could also
    experience excessive runoff more readily and with lower rain rates
    compared to surrounding areas.

    Over time, models/CAMs focus heavier rainfall potential across
    areas from just west of Savannah eastward along coastal areas of
    South Carolina through 15Z. These areas will experience the
    greatest chance of localized flash flood impacts through that time.

    Areas affected...Mid-South through Northern Mississippi/Alabama

    Concerning...Heavy rainfall...Flash flooding possible

    Valid 100947Z - 101547Z

    Summary...Rounds of organized convection continue to shift
    east-southeast from northern Arkansas through northern Alabama
    through mid-morning. High moisture content and sufficient
    instability continue to allow keep heavy rates. Flash flooding is
    possible.

    Discussion...An impulse over northern AR has lead to backing of
    mean layer flow to just north of west which is aligned with
    redeveloping activity northeast AR into the Memphis metro.
    Additionally two lines of organized convection are moving
    orthogonal to the mean flow over northern MS and AL. High moisture
    with PWs of 2.1" to 2.3" will be maintained in 30kt WSWly low
    level flow and instability will hold around a sufficient 1000-2000
    J/kg MUCAPE.

    Recent hourly rainfall estimates have been generally 1-2" in
    northeast AR though they have weakened as they reach Memphis,
    probably due to less instability there. The progressive lines have
    generally produced 1 to 1.5" hourly rainfall. Given the strong low
    level flow maintaining moisture/instability, there is a risk for
    2-4" over the discussion area through 15Z.

    FFG thresholds are lower, around 1.5"/hr around Memphis and in
    northern AL where wetter soils are present. Flash flooding should
    remain localized and is considered possible.
