Concerning...Heavy rainfall...Flash flooding likely Valid 221930Z - 230130Z SUMMARY...Highly efficient thunderstorms in deep moisture axis capable of 2-2.5"/hr rates have potential to merge into a line of training cells across Coastal Plains. Spots of 2-4" and flash flooding is possible this evening. DISCUSSION...GOES-E Visible imagery denotes convective development occurring across portions of the Coastal Plains in a few clusters, including cells along the outflow from initial sea-breeze development. Once again the core of the deep moisture axis resides through coastal NC into SE VA with 2.25-2.4" total PWats in an overlap/confluence of the tail end of return Gulf moisture plume as well as an Atlantic sourced plume off the Sargasso Sea off the GA/SC coast. This axis, per usual, is displaced slightly east of the main instability axis that has formed from the eastern Piedmont to about I-95; with solid heating into the mid to upper 80s (further south), adjustments result in an axis of 2000-3000 J/kg MLCAPE. Convective lines are propagating toward each other into the instability axis, so increasing convective converge is expected over the next few hours.=20 The moisture and flux should support 2-2.5"/hr, but storm scale interaction (outflow collisions) may even induce short-term rates to 3"+. Deep layer steering is fairly parallel to the moisture/instability and confluence axis to promote potential for SSW to NNE training. Propagation vectors are likely too weak given the 500-1000 thickness pattern to help deviate the training axis too much. As such, spots of 3-5" are likely to induce flash flooding though the evening, including Norfolk and SE VA urban centers and S NC (Chesterfield to Johnston Counties), that have seen recently heavy rainfall and saturated soil conditions.
