DISCUSSION...The latest GOES-E Proxy Visible satellite imagery shows a very well-defined MCV drifting very slowly into the southern Appalachians. Recent radar imagery is beginning to show some convective development around the southern flank of the MCV over northern GA, especially to the northeast of Rome, and there will be concerns over the next several hours for very slow-moving bands or clusters of showers and thunderstorms in close proximity to the MCV. Some tightening of the mid-level vorticity coupled with an uptick in low-level moisture convergence/forcing should work in tandem with modest instability and localized orographics/upslope flow near the higher terrain of the southern Appalachians for these areas of convection to develop and locally expand in coverage. Tall, skinny CAPE profiles reflective of MLCAPE values in the 500 to 1000 J/kg range, and PWs near or locally over 2 inches, will yield extremely efficient rainfall processes for enhanced rates that may approach or locally exceed 2.5 inches/hour. The 00Z HREF guidance does suggest some uptick in the convective threat in the near-term with some localized storm total potential of 3 to 5 inches going through the remainder of the night toward dawn. Expect there to be a likelihood for at least scattered instances of flash flooding given the high rainfall rate and storm total potential.
