EVENT...CONVECTION ALONG SE GA COAST VERY SLOWLY MOVING NORTHWARD TOWARD
GA/SC BORDER.
.
SATELLITE ANALYSIS AND TRENDS...A RATHER LONG LIVED BATCH OF CONVECTION
ALONG NW-SE ORIENTED INFLOW BAND OFF OF THE ATLANTIC AND FOCUSED NEAR
COASTAL CONVERGENCE ZONE/OLD FRONTAL BOUNDARY HAS BEEN MOVING ONLY VERY
SLOWLY NORTHWARD DURING THE MORNING RESULTING IN LOCALIZED AUTOMATED
SATELLITE ESTIMATED RAIN TOTALS OF 3-4" IN A 2-3 HOUR TIME PERIOD WITH
2-3" ESTIMATED IN 1-2 HOURS. LATEST IR/VIS IMAGERY THROUGH 1415Z SHOWS
COLDEST CLOUD TOPS/OVERSHOOTING TOPS LINED UP FROM CHATHAM COUNTY OF
SE GA SOUTHEASTWARD TO AT LEAST 20 MILES OFF THE COAST WITH EVEN MORE
BROKEN ACTIVITY WITHIN THIS INFLOW BAND FARTHER OFFSHORE. GIVEN THIS
SITUATION AND THE FACT THAT IT IS RATHER CLOSE TO FAVORABLE DEFORMATION
ZONE SEEN IN WATER VAPOR LOOP BELIEVE THE CONVECTION HAS A GOOD CHANCE
OF SURVIVING FOR AT LEAST THE NEXT COUPLE OF HOURS AS IT VERY SLOWLY
WORKS ITS WAY NORTHWARD ALONG THE SE GA COAST INTO S SC.
