Subj : HVYRAIN: Excessive Rainfall Discussion To : wx-storm@lists.illinois.edu From : COD Weather Processor Date : Thu Dec 29 2022 08:29:22 FOUS30 KWBC 290829 QPFERD Excessive Rainfall Discussion NWS Weather Prediction Center College Park MD 328 AM EST Thu Dec 29 2022 Day 1 Valid 12Z Thu Dec 29 2022 - 12Z Fri Dec 30 2022 ....THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF EXCESSIVE RAINFALL FOR THE COASTAL RANGES OF SOUTHERN OREGON, NORTHERN CALIFORNIA AND PORTIONS OF THE SOUTHERN PLAINS AND LOWER MISSISSIPPI VALLEY... ....West... Flash flooding concerns return to the West Coast as a pair of low pressure systems arrive today. The first system will bring a round of light rainfall to the coasts of the Pacific Northwest and northern/central California early this morning. Rain rates should be around 0.1in/hr across the region with PWATs remaining modest at well below an inch. Forcing provided by a weak surface cold front won't help to enhance amounts, but higher totals will still be possible at higher elevations. The second round of precipitation will be a bit more substantial and will arrive with the entrance of another system later Thursday afternoon. Rain rates will be a little higher at around 0.1-0.25in/hr. PWATs between 0.75-1 inch should cause some flash flooding concerns over already well saturated soils, burn scars and urban areas. ....Lower Mississippi Valley... An upper trough over the Great Plains will cause height falls and the return of southerly flow over the Gulf of Mexico and Mississippi Valley. Moist air advection will ensue with PWATs of between 1-1.5 inches flowing from the central Gulf coast up through the Mississippi Valley and into the Midwest. This moist/unstable airmass, overrunning a coastal warm front, a dry line and cold front to the west, will support convective initiation over the Gulf coast and inland areas, where rain rates may range between 0.25-1in/hr with locally higher amounts. The latest 00z guidance is in good agreement with respect to the orientation and magnitude of the axis of greatest QPF in the Southern Plains/Lower Mississippi Valley.
