Subj : HVYRAIN: Excessive Rainfall Discussion To : wx-storm@lists.illinois.edu From : COD Weather Processor Date : Wed Jan 18 2023 08:09:18 FOUS30 KWBC 180809 QPFERD Excessive Rainfall Discussion NWS Weather Prediction Center College Park MD 308 AM EST Wed Jan 18 2023 Day 1 Valid 12Z Wed Jan 18 2023 - 12Z Thu Jan 19 2023 ...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF EXCESSIVE RAINFALL ACROSS PORTIONS OF THE LOWER ARKANSAS, LOWER MISSISSIPPI AND LOWER OHIO RIVER VALLEYS... Models remain consistent in showing strengthening southerly to south south westerly low level flow off the western Gulf ahead of the strong height falls pushing into the Central to Southern Plains on Thursday. This will support an expanding area of pre-frontal convection Thursday morning from far northeast Texas, across northern Louisiana into southern Arkansas in an axis of increasing PW values, reaching 2 to 3 standard deviations above the mean. This activity will then press northeastward into portion of the Lower Mississippi Valley and Lower Ohio Valley through Thursday afternoon. During the first half of the day 1 period, there will be potential for training of cells parallel to the strengthening low level southerly to southwesterly flow. The slight risk area was drawn to depict the area of best training potential during Thursday and corresponds where the HREF neighborhood probabilities are highest for 2"+ totals day 1.=20 These high 2"+ day 1 probabilities occur primarily during the first half of the day 1 period, with probabilities for 2"+ totals decreasing significantly after 0000 UTC Friday when the overall progression of any convection is expected to increase and subsequently decrease the threat of runoff issues. The biggest changes made to the previous outlook for this period was to trim the slight risk area approximately 80-100 miles to the west from its previous location across central Kentucky to west central TN to better match where the HREF probabilities are highest and where the best training potential will be early day 1. The marginal risk area was also trimmed to the west by approximately 50-90 miles from the Mid Ohio Valley into the Middle Tennessee Valley. Oravec Day 2 Valid 12Z Thu Jan 19 2023 - 12Z Fri Jan 20 2023 The probability of rainfall exceeding flash flood guidance is less than 5 percent. Oravec Day 3 The Day 3 outlook will be updated by 0830Z.
