Subj : HVYRAIN: Excessive Rainfall Discussion To : wx-storm@lists.illinois.edu From : COD Weather Processor Date : Mon Jan 23 2023 08:29:28 FOUS30 KWBC 230829 QPFERD Excessive Rainfall Discussion NWS Weather Prediction Center College Park MD 328 AM EST Mon Jan 23 2023 Day 1 Valid 12Z Mon Jan 23 2023 - 12Z Tue Jan 24 2023 The probability of rainfall exceeding flash flood guidance is less than 5 percent. Kebede Day 2 Valid 12Z Tue Jan 24 2023 - 12Z Wed Jan 25 2023 ....THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF EXCESSIVE RAINFALL FOR PORTIONS OF THE SOUTHERN PLAINS AND LOWER MISSISSIPPI VALLEY... The latest guidance has come into much better agreement regarding the evolution of an upper-level low over the Southern Plains on Tuesday. A potent upper trough and favorable jet dynamics should support a fast moving surface low pressure system moving from southern Texas through the central Gulf Coast Tuesday morning through early Wednesday. The upper trough will tap into a reservoir of Gulf moisture (PWATs between 1-2in) and send it streaming into southeastern Texas and the central Gulf Coast on Tuesday. A line of heavy rainfall and thunderstorms are expected to initiate somewhere in southeastern Texas and spread eastward along the Gulf coast where it will encounter some decent instability with MUCAPE hovering between 500-1000J/Kg along the immediate coastlines of Texas and Louisiana. A southerly low level jet at around 60kts will provide ample shearing for these fast moving storms. Rainfall rates between 0.75-1.5in/hr over saturated soils and the presence of low FFG will amplify flash flooding concerns for the area encompassed by the Slight Risk. The 00z Canadian regional and ECMWF hourly QPF were favored since they appeared to capture the magnitude and timing of the rainfall reasonably well. First Guess ERO fields and a number of local offices supported the risk areas drawn for this day 2 period. Kebede Day 3 The Day 3 outlook will be updated by 0830Z.
