Subj : HVYRAIN: Excessive Rainfall Discussion To : wx-storm@lists.illinois.edu From : COD Weather Processor Date : Sat Jan 28 2023 08:15:35 FOUS30 KWBC 280815 QPFERD Excessive Rainfall Discussion NWS Weather Prediction Center College Park MD 315 AM EST Sat Jan 28 2023 Day 1 Valid 01Z Sat Jan 28 2023 - 12Z Sat Jan 28 2023 ....THERE IS A MARGINAL RISK OF EXCESSIVE RAINFALL FOR PORTIONS OF SOUTHEAST TEXAS & WESTERN LOUISIANA... A digging longwave positively-tilted trough will cause a jet streak to slowly strengthen from the MS River Valley into the Northeast Saturday night. Meanwhile, deep Gulf moisture will be directed northward from the Bay of Campeche into eastern TX and southwest LA, as a front pushes south and east out of the Plains and into northeast TX through AR. As is typical of most January nights, instability will be the primary limiting factor. MUCAPE will increase to between 100 and 400 J/kg late Saturday night. Only a small northward nudge of the inherited Marginal was made to account for the ARW's depiction of potentially heavy convection across northern LA, though this is far from certain. Antecedent conditions remain favorable in the Marginal Risk area with nearly saturated soils, though that may be mitigated somewhat by the dry conditions expected today. PWATs will increase Saturday to between 1.5 and 1.75 inches along the TX Gulf Coast, which is as much as 2.5 sigma above normal for this time of year. The LLJ will increase to 40-50kt across northern LA/southern AR, while further south in the Marginal Risk area, expect the LLJ to be closer to 30 kt. Nonetheless this will advect plentiful Gulf moisture into the area which will support training convection. While the forcing will be greater further north, again the lack of instability should disallow short-term heavy rainfall rates, even if there are training cells into southern AR.
