Subj : HVYRAIN: Excessive Rainfall Discussion To : wx-storm@lists.illinois.edu From : COD Weather Processor Date : Wed Jan 25 2023 08:28:25 FOUS30 KWBC 250828 QPFERD Excessive Rainfall Discussion NWS Weather Prediction Center College Park MD 327 AM EST Wed Jan 25 2023 Day 1 Valid 12Z Wed Jan 25 2023 - 12Z Thu Jan 26 2023 ....THERE IS A MARGINAL RISK OF EXCESSIVE RAINFALL FOR PORTIONS OF THE SOUTHEAST AND NORTHEAST... The upper level trough responsible for heavy rainfall in the Lower Mississippi Valley yesterday will phase with a northern stream trough and spread precipitation into the eastern third of the country today. Guidance appears to highlight two areas of particular concern. A complex of thunderstorms moving through the Florida panhandle will likely be enhanced by a strong cold front succeeding it. Instability will be shallow in northern Florida and Georgia, but a 50-60kt low level jet out of the south should supply ample moisture, on the order of 1-1.75in PWATs, into the region. That being said, soils will be relatively dry and Flash Flood Guidance fairly high so the threat of flash flooding should remain marginal. The heavy rainfall should subside over the Southeast by early this evening. Precipitation will begin as snowfall this morning in the Northeast before transitioning into rain this afternoon and evening. The aforementioned surface low will reintensify as it lifts through the Mid-Atlantic and Northeast. 60-70kt 850mb winds out of the south will overrun a warm front and supply anomalous moisture into the Northeast coast early Thursday morning. PWATs will be around 1-1.25in, representing 3-4 standard deviations above normal. Rain rates between 0.1-0.25 won't be too high, but moderately saturated soils and low FFGs could support instances of isolated flash flooding over vulnerable surfaces, including, but not limited to, urban areas. Kebede Day 2 Valid 12Z Thu Jan 26 2023 - 12Z Fri Jan 27 2023 The probability of rainfall exceeding flash flood guidance is less than 5 percent. Kebede Day 3 The Day 3 outlook will be updated by 0830Z.
