Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Charleston SC
437 PM EDT Mon Aug 5 2024
...THE RISK FOR FLASH FLOODING WILL INCREASE QUICKLY TONIGHT
WITH HISTORIC AND CATASTROPHIC FLOODING THROUGH MID-WEEK...
.SYNOPSIS...
Tropical Storm Debby will impact the region through much of the
week. Potentially historic rainfall amounts will likely result
in severe to catastrophic flash flooding.
&&
.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...
Satellite and radar data suggest a predecessor rain event (PRE)
is well underway this afternoon across Southeast South Carolina
and Southeast Georgia as Tropical Storm Debby moves across
northern Florida. As much as 1 to 3.5 inches of rain has
already fallen across the coastal corridor today with the daily
rainfall record at Charleston Intl Airport (KCHS) already
broken.
The synoptic pattern looks favorable for rainfall rates to
steadily increase throughout the rest of the afternoon and
especially tonight as the center of Debby approaches the Georgia
coast. Model soundings show tall, skinny CAPE profiles with
PWATS surging to incredibly high 2.60-2.90 inches. This coupled
with strong moisture transport with some forcing contributions
from the right entrance region from a jet streak propagating
across the Upstate into western North Carolina will support
widespread heavy rainfall with efficient rainfall rates
reaching as high as 2-3 in/hr, if not higher. The core of the
heaviest rains associated with Debby's circulation center will
move into the far southern areas later this evening while an
axis of moderate to heavy rain embedded with a southwest-
northeast dilatation axis aligned along the coastal corridor
remains nearly stationary. As rainfall rates increase and the
area of heavy rain expands, the potential for flash flooding
will steadily increase and the issuance of flash flood warnings
appears nearly certain. Rain totals through sunrise Tuesday look
to average 3-9 inches (locally higher) with the a rainfall
maxima progged to occur in the Savannah-Beaufort corridor. A
Flood Watch remains in effect for all counties through Friday
morning. See the Hydrology section below for additional
hydrologic details.
The risk for isolated tornadoes will increase this evening as
wind fields increased ahead of Tropical Storm Debby. 0-1km
helicity off the KCLX VWP has been slowly increasing as the
afternoon has progressed. Instability has been a limiting factor
so far, but some inland push of higher instability over the
Atlantic is expected to push into the coastal corridor over the
next few hours. Thus, there may be an uptick in the tornado
potential. Tornado Watch 599 remains in effect until 1 AM for
all areas with the exception of the Allendale-Reidsville
corridor.
Winds will slowly increase overnight with the potential for
tropical storm force winds increasing south of I-16 and across
the entire coast. Mid-afternoon observations already show winds
gusting to tropical storm force along the far lower Georgia
coast.
&&
.SHORT TERM /TUESDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/...
The short term period will remain dominated by Debby and its
associated impacts with the latest NHC forecast track taking the
center of the storm off the Georgia coast and into the Atlantic
early Tuesday afternoon, then slowly arcing through the
Atlantic coastal waters midweek and back inland around the
Myrtle Beach area Thursday (subject to further updates of
course). Time over the warm Atlantic waters could bring some
renewed intensification through mid week and increased
winds/gusts across the coastal waters and along the coast. A
Tropical Storm Warning remains in effect for all coastal
counties through the period. A Tropical Storm Warning is also in
effect for the southeast Georgia inland counties along and
south of I-16, although confidence in those areas reaching
Tropical Storm force gusts remains lower.
But the primary impact for the forecast area will continue to
be a prolonged period of very heavy rainfall across the entire
forecast area through at least Tuesday/Tuesday night. Heaviest
of the rainfall (or at least the frequency of) might tend to
diminish some Wednesday into Thursday as the circulation center
traverses up through the northern reaches of the forecast area
and we lose the southeasterly tap moisture off the Atlantic. But
again, that will be very track dependent.
Finally, the risk for tropical tornadoes in rainbands will
persist into Tuesday/Tuesday night although the threat may tend
to lessen through the period as the center of Debby tracks into
the Atlantic and we move out of the preferential sector
(relative to the TC center) for tropical tornado development.
But again, all will depend on the ultimate track.
&&
.LONG TERM /THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY/...
Still quite a bit of uncertainty regarding the ultimate
timing/track of Debby during the latter half of the week with
the current official track moving the center of the system out
of our forecast area by later Thursday and back inland through
the Pee Dee region during the end of the week. We may continue
to see some rainfall from Debby wrapping back around and across
the northern part of the area through the end of the week until
the system ultimately gets picked up/absorbed by an upper level
trough slated to deepen across the Great Lakes into New England
late week and through the weekend. Once that happens, we will
transition back into the more typical August pattern of daily
shower and thunderstorm chances.
&&
.AVIATION /18Z MONDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/...
06/18Z TAF Discussion:
KCHS/KJZI/KJZI: Steady rains will impact all terminals into
Tuesday morning as Tropical Storm Debby draws closer. MVFR
conditions will lower to IFR as rainfall rates pick up and.
Vsbys were limited to 1/2SM for now, but pockets of lower vsbys
near 1/4SM could occur. There is a risk for low-level wind shear
beginning as early as 06z at KCHS and KJZI and 21z at KSAV.
Extended Aviation Outlook: Periodic showers and thunderstorms
may lead to occasional flight restrictions through the period.
&&
.MARINE...
Tonight: Conditions still continue to steadily deteriorate
across the waters tonight with tropical storm conditions likely.
A risk for waterspouts will persist for much of the night as
Tropical Storm Debby draws closer.
Tuesday through Saturday: The track and intensity of Debby will
determine the details of the marine forecast across the local
waters. The most recent NHC forecast would indicate Debby will
emerge off the southeast Georgia coast as a tropical storm
Tuesday afternoon and then meander offshore Wednesday into
Thursday. Debby is then expected to make landfall along the
South Carolina coast later Thursday. Given a potentially longer
residence time over waters, the storm could gain some strength
before making landfall. Mariners should prepare for hazardous
marine conditions through the week with tropical storm force
winds, very elevated seas, and potential for waterspouts in
rainbands. A Tropical Storm Warning is in effect for all coastal
waters, including the Charleston Harbor. Conditions should
slowly improve late in the period.
Rip Currents/High Surf: Hazardous beach conditions are expected
through much of the week as Debby impacts the region. A High Risk of
rip currents is forecast for Tuesday and will likely continue
beyond. In addition, large breaking waves will impact the
beaches.
&&
.HYDROLOGY...
Debby remains on target to potentially produce historic rainfall
amounts that will result in areas of catastrophic flooding across
southeast Georgia and southeast South Carolina. A Flood Watch
remains in effect for all of southeast Georgia and southeast South
Carolina through Friday morning and Flood Advisories/Flash Flood
Warnings will be issued as need be.
The center of Debby will slowly advance through southern Georgia
this evening and into southeast Georgia late this evening and
overnight. Debby is then forecast to slowly move off the GA coast
Tuesday afternoon, potentially strengthening and bringing additional
intense rainfall to coastal areas within the main core of the
system. The combination of deep tropical moisture and a slowly
moving tropical system will set the table for a prolonged period of
intense rainfall. The forecast continues to advertise rainfall
totals of 10-20 inches across all of southeast Georgia and southeast
South Carolina, with localized amounts of up to 30 inches possible.
Even more concerning is that the swath of heaviest rain is likely to
fall along the coastal corridor, including heavily urbanized areas
across Savannah, Hilton Head, Beaufort, and Charleston. The entire
forecast area remains in a rare High Risk Excessive Rainfall Outlook
through Tuesday from the Weather Prediction Center, and the northern
part of the forecast area through Wednesday...further highlighting
the potential for widespread damaging flash flooding.
With these expected rainfall totals, impacts will be widespread and
severe, likely including numerous flooded homes and structures,
damage to roadways including washouts, and unprecedented flooding
along and near smaller creeks and streams. Additionally, there will
likely be an extended period of major flooding (possibly record
setting) along larger main stem rivers that continues well after
Debby moves away from the region. The most intense rainfall will
likely come in bands followed by periods of time of considerably
lighter rainfall or even no rain at all.
