Subj : HVYRAIN: Excessive Rainfall Discussion To : wx-storm@lists.illinois.edu From : COD Weather Processor Date : Fri Jan 13 2023 08:27:59 FOUS30 KWBC 130827 QPFERD Excessive Rainfall Discussion NWS Weather Prediction Center College Park MD 327 AM EST Fri Jan 13 2023 Day 1 Valid 12Z Fri Jan 13 2023 - 12Z Sat Jan 14 2023 ....THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF EXCESSIVE RAINFALL FOR PORTIONS OF THE NORTHERN CALIFORNIA COAST AND ADJACENT MOUNTAINS... The upper trough responsible for the heavy rainfall making its onshore from Washington to northern California early this morning will make its way inland today. Strong vertical ascent has already started over northern California and should become more widespread and greater in magnitude as positive vorticity advection and sufficient 700mb Q-vector convergence aloft approach the coast and then proceeds inland through 18Z. The IVT into California still does not appear to be as strong as what just impacted the Pacific Northwest yesterday, but the NAEFS still shows IVT values >400 kg/m/s south of the Bay Area oriented from the SSW-NNE. With precipitable water values largely in the range between 0.75-1.00" and directed upslope into the coastal ranges by 40-50kt 850-700mb wind (and as far inland as the windward slopes of the Sierra Nevada) periods of heavy rainfall are expected today. Rainfall rates >0.50"/hr are possible in areas where soils remain exceptionally over saturated (NASA SPoRT-LIS 0-40cm soil moisture percentiles >98% for most of the Slight Risk region). Given an uptick in amounts...the northern boundary of the Slight Risk area was pulled north to near Crescent City and extended to just north of the Bay Area. Only minor tweaks were made to the Marginal Risk around the Olympics where another 1-3" of rainfall is forecast and where soils will be more sensitive after Thursday rainfall.=20 Bann Day 2 The Day 2 outlook will be updated by 0830Z.
