Small Low off of Charleston, SC today

[jimpsummers]

Has anybody noticed this? Came off the coast at Savannah and had rain and storms with it, now it doesn't.. I guess it is/was a low associated with an MCS? It would seem it should be on the "watch list"..... Definitely a significant spin in the atmosphere...

Looks far more impressive than 90L that's for sure!

Several of these MCS/MCV are dropping down into this region on the eastern/ northeastern side of an upper ridge centered across the South Central U.S. A couple of more of these are forecast to come into SE GA/ NE FL region this weekend giving us a good chance of thunderstorms here.

The current MCS off the SC coast, as StormExpect stated above, does have a impressive spin to it. These features are unique and every once in awhile, can develop under the right conditions.

This came through my area around 4 am this morning. It woke me up with all the thunder but it did drop nearly 3/4 of an inch of rain.

I'm not saying I expect this to develop, but I have a feeling with an El Nino taking shape, a fair amount of the kind of storms we get this year could be disturbances like this one in these subtropical latitudes. June and particularly July of these seasons also favors the area off the East Coast in recent years. Ana formed became a storm in this area in 1991, a subtropical storm and three storms formed in this area in 1997, Arthur formed here in 2002, and Beryl did likewise in 2006.

Wasn't this one of the favored areas for tropical development this year too?

We had another one of these come through around 7 this evening and it knocked out power for almost 4 hours and at least 60 mph gusts with a little bit of hail. Rain blew sideways like a tornado... (I'm not kidding)
It did a lot of damage to big pecan trees around here as well.
