AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE WILMINGTON NC
341 PM EDT SAT OCT 3 2015

.SYNOPSIS...
LIFE THREATENING FLOODING MAY DEVELOP LATE SUNDAY INTO MONDAY AS
TROPICAL MOISTURE IS RIFLED INTO THE CAROLINAS BY A POWERFUL UPPER
LOW. A DRYING TREND WILL GET UNDERWAY TUESDAY AND FAIRLY
SEASONABLE WEATHER WILL PERSIST ALL WEEK. RIVER FLOODING WILL ALSO
LAST MOST OF THE WEEK.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...
AS OF 330 PM SATURDAY...SCATTERED SHOWERS WITH SOME THUNDER
CONTINUE TO MOVE QUICKLY NW ACROSS THE FORECAST AREA THIS
AFTERNOON. COVERAGE HAS ACTUALLY BEEN DECREASING OVER THE PAST FEW
HOURS...BUT THIS IS JUST A TEMPORARY BREAK IN THE ACTION AS WE
EXPECT THE LIKELIHOOD OF POTENTIALLY HAZARDOUS AND DESTRUCTIVE
FLOODING TO RETURN IN THE EARLY MORNING HOURS OF SUNDAY.

THE UPPER LOW CENTERED OVER SOUTHERN GEORGIA WILL CONTINUE TO WAVER
ABOUT WITH LITTLE CHANGE IN POSITION AS A STATIONARY
FRONT/CONVERGENT BOUNDARY REMAINS STUCK ALONG THE COAST. A FRONTAL
WAVE OVER THE COAST NEAR THE SC/GA BORDER WILL DRIFT NE AS THE DEEP
MOISTURE TAP OVER THE ATLANTIC ALSO RE-ALIGNS FURTHER TO THE NE.
THIS WILL MAKE FOR DETERIORATING CONDITIONS AS AS EXTENSIVE AREA OF
RAIN SPREADS ACROSS THE FORECAST AREA FROM THE S AND SW...WITH
CATEGORICAL COVERAGE THROUGHOUT BY AROUND DAYBREAK ON SUNDAY MORNING.

GIVEN THE ABOVE...THE ONGOING HISTORIC AND VERY DANGEROUS FLOODING
EVENT IS EXPECTED TO CONTINUE WELL PAST THE NEAR TERM. THE FLASH
FLOOD WATCH WILL REMAIN IN EFFECT THROUGH THE PERIOD.

&&

.SHORT TERM /SUNDAY THROUGH MONDAY NIGHT/...

AS OF 3 PM SATURDAY...

HISTORIC AND LIFE THREATENING FLOODING EXPECTED.

DEEP CUTOFF UPPER LOW/COLD POOL CREATING A VERY FOCUSED AND INTENSE
PLUME OF TROPICAL MOISTURE INTO THE SOUTHEASTERN U.S. RIGHT NOW THE
EXTREME RAINS ARE SOUTH OF THE COUNTY WARNING AREA. EVEN IN ITS
FORMATIVE STAGES LAST EVENING THIS ATMOSPHERIC RIVER LEAD TO SOME
TERRIFYING RAINFALL RATES AND SERIOUS FLOODING MOST NOTABLY IN
LITTLE RIVER/NORTH MYRTLE BEACH AREA AS WELL AS PARTS OF DARLINGTON
COUNTY. REFER TO PUBLIC INFORMATION STATEMENT/PNSILM FOR RAINFALL
AMOUNTS AS WELL AS LOCAL STORM REPORTS/LSRILM FOR FLOODING INFO.
EVEN OUTSIDE OF THIS CHANNEL THE LOCAL RAINFALL RATES HAVE BEEN
IMPRESSIVE.  DURING THE HOUR OF 17Z KILM REPORTED 0.31" OF RAIN IN
16 MINUTES. SUCH RAINFALL RATES ARE OFTEN VASTLY UNDERDONE IN MODEL
GUIDANCE. AND SPEAKING OF MODEL UNCERTAINTIES GUIDANCE ALSO OFTEN
STRUGGLES WITH HANDLING OF SYSTEMS THAT ARE SO DEEPLY CUT OFF FROM
STEERING FLOW. THAT SAID THERE HAS BEEN A SMALL SHIFT TO THE SOUTH
OF THE HEAVIEST QPF BUT THIS WILL REALLY ONLY MANIFEST AS A SLIGHT
REDUCTION OVER FAR NW ZONES (THOUGH THE WRF BEGS TO DIFFER). IT IS
IN THESE ZONES WHERE THE LOWER PORTION OF "ONLY" 3-5 INCHES MAY
FALL. HOWEVER THE VERY NARROW AND FOCUSED NATURE OF THE RAINFALL
WILL LEAD TO A STRONG GRADIENT IN QPF AS ONE HEADS INLAND.

AS THE UPPER LOW PROGRESSES EASTWARD THIS LOW LEVEL FIRE HOSE OF
MOISTURE WILL PIVOT AROUND THE LOW...MOVING NORTHWARD AND ALSO
TAKING ON AN EVENTUAL NE TO SW ORIENTATION...ALL WHILE MAINTAINING A
CONNECTION WITH JOAQUIN. IN ADDITION TO THE SLIGHT SHIFT TO THE
SOUTH MODELS CONTINUE TO SLOW THE OVERALL SENSE OF TIMING, WHICH IS
USUALLY A GOOD CALL WITH CUTOFF LOWS. IN FACT WOULD NOT BE SURPRISED
TO SEE THE END OF THE EVENT, WHICH WILL BE IN THE CAPE
FEAR/WILMINGTON AREAS LAST INTO MONDAY AFTERNOON OR EVENING.

GENERAL FORECAST QPF CALLS FOR 3-5" ACROSS MOST OF NW AND NORTHERN
SC COUNTIES BUT 5-7" CAPE FEAR COAST DUE LONG PERIOD OF
LOW LEVEL MOISTURE AND COASTAL CONVERGENCE. HIGHEST AMOUNTS OVER FAR
SOUTHERN ZONES WHERE ADDITIONAL 5-7" AND LIKELY 7-10" SRN GTOWN AND
WILLIAMSBURG LIKELY. THESE AMOUNTS CAN EASILY BEEN A MONTH'S WORTH
MOST TIMES OF THE YEAR IN AND OF THEMSELVES BUT FOLLOWING THE MAJOR
FLOODING ISSUES FROM YESTERDAY'S RAINFALL THE 3 DAY TOTALS ARE
EXPECTED TO LEAD TO A POTENTIALLY LIFE-THREATENING FLOODING
SCENARIO. THIS WILL HOLD MOST TRUE WHERE MESOSCALE PROCESSES (WHICH
CANNOT BE RESOLVED THIS FAR OUT) LEAD TO THE LOCALIZED MUCH HIGHER
RAIN TOTALS AS OCCURRED IN PLACES LIKE LITTLE RIVER LAST EVE.

&&

.LONG TERM /TUESDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/...
AS OF 330 PM SATURDAY...ALTHOUGH THERE WILL BE SOME LINGERING
SHOWERS AND CLOUDS ALONG THE COAST TUESDAY MORNING WE WILL SEE
OVERALL GREATLY IMPROVED AND VERY PLEASANT CONDITIONS RETURN FOR
THE LONG TERM. A DEEP DRY AIRMASS WILL MOVE ACROSS THE EASTERN
CAROLINAS AS HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS IN FROM THE NORTH AND THE UPPER
LOW RESPONSIBLE FOR MUCH OF OUR WET WEATHER EJECTS OFF TO THE
NORTHEAST. WELL BELOW NORMAL TEMPERATURES ON TUESDAY WILL MODERATE
THROUGH THE PERIOD AS A GRADUAL WARMING TREND TAKES HOLD.

&&

.AVIATION /18Z SATURDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/...
AS OF 18Z...MAIN FOCUS OF CONVECTION WILL BE SOUTH CAROLINA
TODAY...PARTICULARLY INLAND TERMINALS. INTERMITTENT IFR CONDITIONS
WILL OCCUR IN THE OCCASIONALLY HEAVY CONVECTION. THE NORTHERN
TERMINALS WILL SEE ISOLATED CONVECTION. LBT MAY STILL HAVE TO DEAL
WITH OCCASIONAL IFR CEILINGS FOR THE FIRST COUPLE OF HOURS.
CONDITIONS WILL BE SIMILAR THIS EVENING. OVERNIGHT...PRECIP WILL BE
ON THE INCREASE AS MOISTURE ROTATES NORTHWARD AROUND THE UPPER LOW.
MAIN FOCUS WILL BE SOUTH CAROLINA EARLY...BUT THE ENTIRE CWA WILL
GET INTO THE ACT BY DAYBREAK...WITH MODERATE TO HEAVY CONVECTION
POSSIBLE THROUGH THE END OF THE FORECAST PERIOD.

EXTENDED OUTLOOK...EXPECT RAIN...SOMETIMES HEAVY...WITH MVFR/TEMPO
IFR POSSIBLY INTO TUESDAY WITH CLEARING TUESDAY NIGHT INTO WEDNESDAY.

&&

.MARINE...

NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...
AS OF 330 PM SATURDAY...VERY HAZARDOUS MARINE CONDITIONS WILL
CONTINUE THROUGH THE NEAR TERM AND WE WILL KEEP THE SMALL CRAFT
ADVISORY IN EFFECT FOR THE FORESEEABLE FUTURE. LATEST OBS SHOW
EASTERLY WINDS OF 15 TO 25 KTS WITH GUST TO 30 KTS AND SEAS OF 6
TO 10 FT. EXPECT LITTLE CHANGE TO THESE CONDITIONS THROUGH THE
OVERNIGHT PERIOD.

SHORT TERM /SUNDAY THROUGH MONDAY NIGHT/...

AS OF 3 PM SATURDAY...
A SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY WILL BE IN EFFECT FOR THE ENTIRE PERIOD. A
STRONG GRADIENT WILL BE IN PLACE ON SUNDAY BETWEEN A HUGE HIGH NORTH
OF NEW ENGLAND STATES AND THE WELL OFFSHORE JOAQUIN AS WELL AS
SURFACE LOW PRESSURE ONLY VERY SLOWLY DEVELOPING JUST OFF SC/GA
COASTLINES. BY MONDAY JOAQUIN WILL BE ACCELERATING OFF TO THE
NORTH AND EAST BUT THE HIGH TO THE NORTH IS RELATIVELY MAINTAINED
AS THE CUTOFF UPPER LOW DRIVING THIS SYSTEM IS SLOW TO EXIT. SEAS
FORECAST IS A BLEND OF CONTINUITY, SWAN, AND WNA GUIDANCE.

LONG TERM /TUESDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/... AS OF 330 PM
SATURDAY...EXPECT GRADUALLY IMPROVING CONDITIONS AS HIGH PRESSURE
BUILDS IN FROM THE NORTH. ALTHOUGH IT IS LIKELY THAT THE PERIOD WILL
START WITH A SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY IN EFFECT...WE EXPECT DECREASING
WINDS ON TUESDAY NIGHT WITH A RETURN TO LESS HAZARDOUS CONDITIONS BY
WEDNESDAY MORNING.

&&

.TIDES/COASTAL FLOODING...
AS OF 330 PM SATURDAY...COASTAL FLOOD ADVISORIES WILL BE NEEDED
AGAIN WITH TONIGHTS HIGH TIDE FOR THE LOWER CAPE FEAR RIVER AND
FOR ALONG THE COAST OF NC AND SC. EXPECT THAT TIDES WILL RUN
AROUND A FOOT OR MORE ABOVE NORMAL. HIGH WATER RUN-UP AND MINOR
COASTAL EROSION ARE AGAIN LIKELY. COASTAL FLOOD ADVISORIES WILL
LIKELY BE NEEDED FOR THE NEXT SEVERAL DAYS DURING HIGH TIDE.
