Wegman Day 3 Valid 12Z Tue Nov 29 2022 - 12Z Wed Nov 30 2022 ....THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF EXCESSIVE RAINFALL ACROSS PORTIONS OF MISSISSIPPI AND ALABAMA... A strong shortwave trough ejecting out into the Plains Tuesday will induce deepening cyclogenesis over the Upper Midwest with an associated cold front progressing across portions of the lower Mississippi Valley. Favorable right entrance region jet dynamics of a 120 kt jet positioned over the southern Plains will help bring widespread forcing for ascent across the region. Southerly flow ahead of the approaching system should surge northward anomalously high moisture, characterized by PWs approaching 1.5"+ which is between 2-3 standard deviations above normal. Model CAPE fields show an axis of sufficient instability lifting northward with MUCAPE of 1000-1500 J/kg possible. This overlap of deeper moisture and instability combined with the approaching front and large scale lift should support scattered to numerous showers and thunderstorms Tuesday afternoon across the Lower Mississippi Valley then further eastward into Tuesday night across portions of MS and AL. These storms will be capable of producing intense rain rates of 1-2"+/hr and there is some training signal given the southwesterly/southerly mean flow orienting somewhat parallel to expected storm motions. The latest model guidance shows potential for a broad area of 1-2" with some signal for isolated 3-4"+ totals during the period. However, there remains some spatial uncertainty, particularly the northern extent of the deeper convection and heavy rainfall potential. Soil moisture varies from drier than normal across the TN and OH Valleys while further south near the Gulf Coast, above normal precipitation over the last few days has brought the top 40 cm soil layer saturation to above 80-90 percent in places. The Slight Risk inherited was largely unchanged and adjusted based on the latest ensemble probabilities and trends in deterministic guidance, and highlights the greatest risk area for isolated to scattered instances of flash flooding.
