DISCUSSION...The latest GOES-E IR satellite imagery has been showing some gradual expansion of cold convective tops across areas of northeast MS, northern AL, northwest GA and through middle TN. The convection is associated with a southwest/northeast oriented axis of mid-level vort energy and is embedded within a very moist and unstable airmass. MLCAPE values are as high as 1500 to 2500 J/kg with PWs as high as 2.0 to 2.25 inches. This will once again be conducive for very high rainfall rates that may reach as high as 2 to 3 inches/hour. The latest RAP analysis shows a corridor or relatively strong low-level moisture convergence extending across far northwest AL and middle TN in particular, and this coupled with differential heating boundaries and the aforementioned weak vort energy should favor some additional convective expansion over the next few hours with some persistence into the evening hours. Favorable Corfidi vectors are noted across the region with the upwind propagation vectors aligned opposite of the 850/300 mb mean flow and this suggests an environment conducive for back-building convection and thus concerns for at least some localized cell-training. Given the slow cell-motions and back-building/cell-training concerns, some spotty 3 to 5 inch rainfall totals will be possible. Generally the 12Z hires guidance suggests a limited amount of overall coverage to the heavier rainfall threat, and there is disagreement also with the storm totals by this evening. However, given the latest observational data, there appears to be a window over the next several hours for additional concentrations of heavy showers and thunderstorms with high rainfall rates. Some isolated to scattered areas of flash flooding will be possible going through early this evening.
