Interesting Feature Off of the U.S. Southeast Coast (Is Invest 96L)

#1 Postby NXStumpy_Robothing » Fri Jul 01, 2022 12:01 pm

Not sure if anyone else has seen this on this site, but just offshore of Savannah, there's a relatively well-defined rotation with deep convection (albeit sheared away from the center of circulation) that is quite evident on both radar reflectivity and velocity imagery. The values aren't exactly impressive in magnitude, but it's definitely something you'd more likely see with a developing TC in terms of appearance than what I would typically expect. I've included a radar loop out of KLCX/the Charleston radar in this post below to illustrate what I'm talking about.

I don't expect this feature to last long as it's under a decent amount of bulk layer shear (though the low-level winds are relatively aligned through 500 mb), but certainly interesting to wake up and notice what appears to be something that could qualify as a TD. Just a reminder we're in hurricane season either way I suppose.



EDIT: imgur isn't letting me pull up the necessary links for me to properly embed the video, so it seems like you'll have to click through to get onto imgur to see the loop. Very annoying but oh well.

Right on.

Near the Southeastern US:
Satellite and radar images along with surface observations indicate
that a low pressure system has formed just off the coast of
Savannah, Georgia. Surface pressures are high in this region, and
development, if any, of this system should be slow to occur while it
drifts northeastward along the southeast U.S. coastline during the
next day or so. Regardless of development, this system is
expected to produce heavy rains, which could cause flash flooding
across portions of southeastern Georgia and the Carolinas through
tonight and into Saturday. See products issued by the Weather
Prediction Center and your local National Weather Service forecast
office for more details.
* Formation chance through 48 hours...low...10 percent.
* Formation chance through 5 days...low...10 percent.
