Snell Day 3 Valid 12Z Mon Nov 14 2022 - 12Z Tue Nov 15 2022 ....THERE IS A MARGINAL RISK FOR EXCESSIVE RAINFALL ACROSS THE UPPER TEXAS COAST AND CENTRAL GULF COAST... By the day 3 timeframe, return flow out of the western Gulf of Mexico ahead of an approaching vigorous shortwave over the southern Plains will set the stage for potentially excessive rainfall extending from the Upper Texas Coast to southern Louisiana and eventually southern Mississippi and Alabama by the evening hours. PWATs over 1.5" and dew points into the 60s are forecast to push just inland with the help of a slow-moving warm front and 50 kt low-level jet. This moisture source will be short-lived and struggle to push well inland as a fast moving cold front kicks the convection eastward Monday night. The best intersection of instability, moisture, and shear along the warm front is likely to be near far southwestern Louisiana. So it is likely that is area will be monitored for a potential upgrade. Current QPF depicts widespread 1-3" rainfall amounts are possible within much of the Marginal Risk area and could reach locally higher. However, there remains some notable north-south spread regarding the axis of heaviest rain, with some guidance (00z ECMWF) actually keeping the heaviest rain just offshore. Urban areas are most at risk given the naturally lower threshold for flash floods and ponding water over impervious surfaces. Otherwise, FFG remains relatively high across this part of the country and was an additional factor for not elevating the risk area to a SLGT. Elevated convection is likely farther north into the Lower Mississippi Valley as well, where 1" rainfall totals could be realized, but should remain under FFG.
