Orrison Day 2 Valid 12Z Tue Feb 14 2023 - 12Z Wed Feb 15 2023 The probability of rainfall exceeding flash flood guidance is less than 5 percent. Hurley Day 3 Valid 12Z Wed Feb 15 2023 - 12Z Thu Feb 16 2023 ....THERE IS A MARGINAL RISK OF EXCESSIVE RAINFALL ACROSS PORTIONS OF THE LOWER MISSISSIPPI VALLEY, TENNESSEE VALLEY, AND LOWER OHIO VALLEY... Upper level jet streak and associated shortwave energy will round the base of the longwave trough on Wednesday, then lift northeast along the eastern periphery late Wed-Wed night as the the trough begins to phase with the northern stream shortwave. At the surface, the guidance is fairly well clustered with the lee-side low emerging across the TX Panhandle by midday Wed, however model differences begin to appear afterwards -- moreso with the timing than the track. The 00Z NAM and GFS are on the faster edges of the guidance spread, with the UKMet and ECMWF much slower with the low progression Wed night (CMC basically in the middle of the faster/slower camps). Either way, positive tilt of the 850-500 mb troughs (more southwest vs. southerly low-level inflow) will limit the depth and duration of moisture influx from the western GOMEX, at least through 12Z Thu. 850-700 mb moisture flux standard anomalies do reach +3 to +4 across the outlook area between 06-12Z Thu per the 00Z GEFS -- albeit rather late in the Day 3 forecast period. Thermodynamic parameters are modest, again late in the period (after 00Z Thu), with PWs climbing towards 1.5" and MUCAPEs 500-1000 J/kg. Because of the late timing of favorable forcing and thermodynamic profiles, along with the degree of both speed and directional shear in the low-mid levels (favoring forward-propagating Corfidi Vectors and limited potential for cell training), for the Day 3 outlook will maintain the Marginal Risk inherited from yesterday's experimental Day 4 ERO.
