MESOSCALE PRECIPITATION DISCUSSION 0878 NWS WEATHER PREDICTION CENTER COLLEGE PARK MD 131 PM EDT SUN OCT 08 2017 AREAS AFFECTED...NORTHEAST GA...NORTHWEST SC...WESTERN NC...FAR EASTERN TN CONCERNING...HEAVY RAINFALL...FLASH FLOODING POSSIBLE VALID 081730Z - 082330Z SUMMARY...VERY HEAVY RAINS ARE EXPECTED OVER THE NEXT SEVERAL HOURS OVER THE HIGHER TERRAIN OF THE SOUTHERN APPALACHIANS. SOME FLASH FLOODING WILL BE POSSIBLE. DISCUSSION...T.D. NATE CONTINUES TO LIFT QUICKLY NORTH-NORTHEAST UP ACROSS WESTERN AL AND SHOULD MOVE UP ACROSS SOUTHERN TN BY AROUND 21Z. THERE CONTINUES TO BE A VERY STRONG INFLUX OF DEEP TROPICAL MOISTURE ALONG WITH ENHANCED SURFACE CONVERGENCE AROUND THE EASTERN SEMICIRCLE OF NATE...WITH MULTIPLE BANDS OF WELL ORGANIZED CONVECTION. THE STRONGEST CONVECTIVE BAND EXTENDS FROM FAR SOUTHEAST TN SOUTHWARD DOWN ACROSS MUCH OF CENTRAL GA WITH A LINEAR AXIS OF VERY INTENSE RAINFALL RATES. THE INDIVIDUAL CELL MOTION IS RAPIDLY OFF TO THE NORTH...BUT THERE IS A BRIEF PERIOD CELL-TRAINING OCCURRING AS THE OVERALL BAND SHIFTS GRADUALLY TO THE NORTHEAST. THE LATEST RAP GUIDANCE FAVORS A SOUTHEAST LOW LEVEL JET OF 50 TO 60 KTS AIMING INTO THE HIGHER TERRAIN OF THE SOUTHERN APPALACHIANS THIS AFTERNOON WITH AN EMPHASIS ON NORTHEAST GA...NORTHWEST SC AND WESTERN NC WHILE THE CENTER OF NATE BEGINS TRACKING UP THROUGH THE TN VALLEY. THE CIRA-LPW DATA SHOWS AND ALREADY VERY MOIST ENVIRONMENT WITH PWATS JUST OVER 2 INCHES...BUT THESE VALUES WILL LIKELY INCREASE FURTHER WITH A NOSE OF 2.25 TO 2.5 INCH PWATS EXPECTED TO NOSE UP ACROSS THE SOUTHEAST PIEDMONT AND INTO THE FAVORED SOUTHEAST FACING TERRAIN THROUGH MID TO LATE AFTERNOON. THERE IS MUCH GREATER INSTABILITY ALSO NOTED ACROSS THE SOUTHEAST COASTAL PLAIN WITH THE LATEST RAP ANALYSIS SHOWING A NOSE OF MLCAPE VALUES EXCEEDING 1500 J/KG LIFTING UP ACROSS EASTERN GA AHEAD OF THE AFOREMENTIONED CONVECTIVE BANDING. THE MOISTURE AND INSTABILITY TRANSPORT WILL BE QUITE STRONG AND WILL FAVOR SUSTAINABLE CONVECTIVE BANDS WITH RAINFALL RATES THAT MAY APPROACH 3 INCHES/HR. THIS WILL BE AIDED BY OROGRAPHIC ASCENT. DESPITE QUITE HIGH FFG VALUES...THE INTENSE RAINFALL RATES OVER THE HIGHER TERRAIN WILL ENCOURAGE SOME RAPID RUNOFF AND MAY RESULT IN SOME ENHANCED SHORT-TERM FLASH FLOODING CONCERNS. EXPECT RAINFALL TOTALS THROUGH 00Z OF AS MUCH AS 4 TO 6+ INCHES. WILL CONTINUE TO MONITOR.
