Hourly rain amounts to 2.5" with local totals to 4" are possible, which could lead to issues in urban areas. Discussion...Water vapor imagery shows a pair of upper level circulations across east-central GA and south of Apalachicola FL.=20 Their combined influence has brought a deep moisture plume into the region, with precipitable water values above 2". Inflow at 850 hPa is ~20 kts per VAD wind profiles. Effective bulk shear is near 25 kts and ML CAPE of 1000-2000 J/kg are available near the upstream of the GA and southern SC coasts. Thus far this morning, a few very narrow, training bands of showers have led to hourly amounts of 1.5-2.5" and local amounts as high as 4". The expectation is for some increase in coverage of narrow rain bands with time as a surface trough sharpens and a surface low tries to develop near the GA coast this afternoon, which should amp up the 850 hPa inflow and effective bulk shear a little more.=20 Slight increases in the Galvez-Davison index with time imply somewhat greater convective coverage with time as well. The mesoscale guidance, while it has a signal for heavy rainfall, may be seeming to underplay amounts per their relatively coarse (when compared to radar imagery) resolution. Hourly amounts to 2.5" and local totals to 4" remain possible where narrow convective bands can persist for 1-2 hours. A complicating factor in areas such as Charleston SC would be the tidal cycle, with high tide expected at 2010z, which would potentially enhance any existing heavy rainfall issues. Issues are expected to be mainly constrained to urban areas.
