SATELLITE ANALYSIS AND TRENDS...SLOW MOVING CLUSTER OF TSTMS ASSOCIATED
WITH AN OUTER BAND FROM T.D. FAY IS SEEN IN STLT/RADAR DRIFTING SLOWLY
NWWD AND BEGINNING TO COME ASHORE ACROSS BEAUFORT/JASPER COUNTIES IN
SE COASTAL SC.  PW VALUES ARE ESTIMATED TO BE NEAR 1.8-2.0" BASED ON
OBJECTIVE INTERPOLATION BETWEEN 12Z RAOB SOUNDINGS FROM CHS (1.6")
AND JAX (2.2").  STORMS ARE LOCATED WITHIN A LOCAL SFC THETA-E RIDGE
AND WEAK SFC MOISTURE CONVERGENCE IS FOUND ACROSS NE COASTAL GA/SE
COASTAL SC.  SFC WINDS NORTH OF DISCUSSION AREA ARE OUT OF THE NE..WHILE
OVER BEAUFORD/JASPER COUNTIES AND S INTO GA WINDS HAVE TURNED TO NEARLY
DUE EAST.
.
WITH CLOUD TOP TEMPS RATHER WARM-TOPPED (-57C) RAINFALL RATES ARE
ESTIMATED TO BE BETWEEN 0.5"-0.75"..HIGHER RATES WHERE OVERSHOOTING TOPS
ARE OBSERVED.  BECAUSE OF THE SLOW MOVING NATURE OF THESE STORMS AND THE
RELATIVELY HIGH LLVL MOISTURE AVAILABLE..RAINFALL AMOUNTS OF 1.0-1.5"
COULD BE REACHED IN THE NEXT 2-3 HRS.
