Given some of the heavier rains earlier today, the additional rounds of convection heading into the overnight hours may result in more flash flooding concerns. DISCUSSION...The latest surface analysis shows a cold front making gradual progress east through lower portions of the MS Valley as a strong upper trough/closed low continues to pivot across the Midwest. This cold front along with additional energy/forcing aloft with be encountering a moderate to strongly unstable airmass over portions of the central Gulf Coast region where MLCAPE values of 1500 to 2500 J/kg are in place. The airmass remains quite moist with persistent low-level southwest flow arriving in off the northern Gulf of Mexico and helping to yield PW values of 1.5 to 1.75 inches which are still generally unchanged from earlier today and about 2 standard deviations above the mean. Areas of showers and thunderstorms should tend to redevelop as a result over the next several hours as the cold front progresses farther east. The environment through the vertical column remains strongly sheared and this will help favor an elevated degree of convective organization as the activity initiates and advances downstream. Rainfall rates of 1 to 2 inches/hour will be possible, with some additional storm total amounts locally in the 2 to 3 inch range possible going through mid to late evening. The new rounds of convection will encounter some areas that received heavy rainfall earlier today, and with the locally wet antecedent conditions, additional areas of flash flooding will be possible.
