Subj : HVYRAIN: Excessive Rainfall Discussion To : wx-storm@lists.illinois.edu From : COD Weather Processor Date : Tue Nov 15 2022 00:53:21 FOUS30 KWBC 150053 QPFERD Excessive Rainfall Discussion NWS Weather Prediction Center College Park MD 752 PM EST Mon Nov 14 2022 Day 1 Valid 01Z Tue Nov 15 2022 - 12Z Tue Nov 15 2022 ....THERE IS A MARGINAL RISK FOR EXCESSIVE RAINFALL ACROSS THE UPPER TEXAS COAST AND CENTRAL GULF COAST... 01Z Excessive Rainfall Outlook... No sizable changes were required with the update based on the 12Z or 18Z guidance...including the 18Z HREF probability guidance...or on trends seen in short-term radar/satellite imagery. So far, the convection with the highest rainfall rates has remained off shore from the Upper Texas coast and the models suggest that should largely be the case as the convection makes its way eastward along the Gulf Coast throughout the evening. However, the strength of a developing on-shore low-level jet riding up and over a surface based warm front and the approach of surface low pressure along the front all suggest that some inland expansion of the higher rainfall rates could lead to isolated flooding...more so in urban areas.=20 Plenty of moisture is in place with the 15/00Z soundings showing precipitable water at or above 1.5 inches (including 1.79 inches at KLCH) coincident with where satellite imagery was showing a well defined wave racing along and immediately north of the Louisiana coastline. The environment here was somewhat unstable...with instability generally on the order of a few hundred J per kg. This should support a few thunderstorms capable of producing rainfall rates >2"/hr into the overnight hours. The 14/18Z HREF does show 2"/hr rainfall probabilities as high as 30-50% along some portions of the Louisiana coast as early as 15/03Z. Despite the favorable parameters for heavy rainfall, storm motions will be quite progressive...which will tend to mitigate the flash flooding threat except in more urbanized areas and poor drainage areas that are already prone to potential flash flooding. Bann Day 2 Valid 12Z Tue Nov 15 2022 - 12Z Wed Nov 16 2022 The probability of rainfall exceeding flash flood guidance is less than 5 percent. Gallina Day 3 Valid 12Z Wed Nov 16 2022 - 12Z Thu Nov 17 2022 The probability of rainfall exceeding flash flood guidance is less than 5 percent.
