09-10 analogy Posted October 4, 2015 Share Posted October 4, 2015 Thought I heard distant thunder in Shandon but realized it was a sliding glass door in my sister's apartment building. Getting some moderate to heavy rain in downtown Columbia now. No street flooding to speak of around USC/5 Points/Capital area; we really haven't had any torrential rains right here for any substantial period today. Breezy. Oops, realized there was an obs thread this prolly should have gone in instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solak Posted October 4, 2015 Share Posted October 4, 2015 MESOSCALE PRECIPITATION DISCUSSION 0549NWS WEATHER PREDICTION CENTER COLLEGE PARK MD1005 PM EDT SAT OCT 03 2015 AREAS AFFECTED...PORTIONS OF SC, WESTERN NC, & NORTHEAST GA CONCERNING...HEAVY RAINFALL...FLASH FLOODING LIKELY VALID 040204Z - 040804Z SUMMARY...RAINFALL COVERAGE, EXPANSION, AND INTENSIFICATION HASBEEN SEEN ACROSS SC OVER THE PAST COUPLE HOURS. CATASTROPHICFLASH FLOODING COULD OCCUR.DISCUSSION...PER SATELLITE IMAGERY, RIPPLES OF SHORTWAVE ENERGYARE MOVING UP A WARM CONVEYOR BELT/ATMOSPHERIC RIVER WHICHCONNECTS AN OCCLUDED CYCLONE NEAR CHARLESTON TO HURRICANE JOAQUIN. WITHIN THE ATMOSPHERIC RIVER, LOW-LEVEL DIRECTIONAL CONVERGENCEIS SIGNIFICANT. INFLOW AT 850 HPA IS 30-50 KTS (ROUGHLY 15 KTSLOWER THAN INDICATED ON THE 02/12Z MODEL GUIDANCE), NEAR THEMAGNITUDE OF THE MEAN 850-400 HPA WIND. PRECIPITABLE WATER VALUESIN THE REGION ARE 1.7-2.3" PER GPS VALUES, AROUND 1.5 SIGMAS ABOVETHE MEAN FOR EARLY OCTOBER. MUCAPE VALUES OF 1000-2000 J/KG NEARTHE SC COAST, WHICH ARE ADVECTING FARTHER INLAND AS CIN DEVELOPSACROSS THE REGION. A COASTAL FRONT JUST INSIDE THE SC/NC COASTHAS STALLED AS OF LATE AND IS ACTING AS THE FOCUS FOR CONVECTIONWITH THE HIGHEST RAINFALL RATES. AN OBSERVATION NEAR CHARLESTONSC INDICATES RECENT RAIN RATE OF 3" AN HOUR, WITH A STORM TOTALNEAR 15" -- LIKELY THE WETTEST STORM ON RECORD FOR THE CHARLESTONAREA.THE CAM GUIDANCE INDICATES THAT LOCAL AMOUNTS OF 3-7" ARE POSSIBLEWITHIN THIS REGION OVER THE NEXT SEVERAL HOURS, WHICH COULD FALLQUICKLY. DESPITE THEIR HIGH BIAS BETWEEN 20Z AND 02Z, THE CAMGUIDANCE LOOKS MORE REALISTIC IN THEIR PORTRAYAL OF PRECIPITATIONOVER THE NEXT SIX HOURS. RAIN RATES OF 3" AN HOUR COULD MIGRATEFARTHER INTO THE INTERIOR OF SC, WITH 1.5" AN HOUR RAIN RATESPOSSIBLE IN THE SOUTHERNMOST APPALACHIANS WHERE INSTABILITY ISFARTHER AFIELD. RAIN RATES THIS HIGH WOULD CREATE SIGNIFICANTPROBLEMS IN URBAN AREAS SUCH AS CHARLESTON,GREENVILLE/SPARTANBURG, COLUMBIA, AUGUSTA, AND THE ATLANTASUBURBS. RADAR ESTIMATES REMAIN QUITE LOW IN THIS REGION, RUNNINGROUGHLY 30-50% BELOW ACTUAL REPORTS. SOILS CONTINUE TO SATURATEACROSS NORTHEAST GA AND NORTHWEST SC WHERE RAINFALL HAS BEEN LESSHEAVY. CONSIDERING THE RAINFALL EXPECTED, CATASTROPHIC FLASHFLOODING ALONG WITH ASSOCIATED LANDSLIDES AND MUDSLIDES IN THETERRAIN REMAIN A DISTINCT POSSIBILITY.

jshetley Posted October 4, 2015 Share Posted October 4, 2015 It looks like that band is coming slightly back to the north. More of upstate SC may be going to get hit hard tonight than just the lower piedmont and areas near the Savannah river. This band will be dropping rain at a higher rate than the one last night did and could last all night or longer in many areas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jshetley Posted October 4, 2015 Share Posted October 4, 2015 Raining hardest it has all day! The heavier rain showers seem to bring stronger winds to the surface, it seems! You have a massive area of even heavier rain about 1 hour out coming your way. It look like it may stay "just" south of me, but not by far. The city of Greenville may be in for it tonight.

It look like it may stay "just" south of me, but not by far. The city of Greenville may be in for it tonight. You are correct about the northward push. That band was supposed to stay well south of me, but instead i am in the band. Moderate to heavy rains and strong, gusty winds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderate to heavy rains and strong, gusty winds. You are in for it where you are I'm afraid unless that band really comes farther north.or somehow heads back to the south. It is coming down like crazy from near St. Mattews back to north of Charleston and that band seems to be headed your way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

buckeyefan1 Posted October 4, 2015 Share Posted October 4, 2015 Darlin' I'm glad ya'll were able to repurpose those portals into rain generators! It's just when the rain comes out of a hell portal there is no way to control it, lol. I hope you don't end up with a bit too much Still, no better way to beat the drought, than to stomp it back thru the portals! Tony I'm just glad the portals have been shut down at least temporarily Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
