Subj : HVYRAIN: Excessive Rainfall Discussion To : wx-storm@lists.illinois.edu From : COD Weather Processor Date : Thu Feb 16 2023 07:59:29 FOUS30 KWBC 160759 QPFERD Excessive Rainfall Discussion NWS Weather Prediction Center College Park MD 257 AM EST Thu Feb 16 2023 Day 1 Valid 01Z Thu Feb 16 2023 - 12Z Thu Feb 16 2023 ....THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF EXCESSIVE RAINFALL FROM THE CUMBERLAND PLATEAU, SOUTH INTO THE UPPER TO MIDDLE TENNESSEE VALLEY... There is good model agreement on the eastward push of strong height falls from the Central to Southern Plains into the Mid to Lower MS Valley, OH Valley and TN Valley day 1. Strong south southwesterly low level flow off the western Gulf will continue to transport much above average PW values, 2 to 3 standard deviations above the mean, northeastward ahead of these height falls and the associated cold front. In the wake of the initial surge of heavy rains pushing northeast early this morning from the Lower MS Valley through the TN Valley, an organized frontal or pre-frontal squall line likely to push eastward through the Lower MS Valley into the TN Valley region Thursday into Thursday evening in what will be an overall very favorable pattern for an organized convective line along and ahead of the eastward moving front, with strong frontal convergence expected in the axis of anomalous PW values and Mu-Cape values 500-1000+ j/kg. Areas that receive heavy rains from the initial surge of precip prior to 12Z Thursday will likely receive additional heavy rains as the frontal/pre-frontal squall line pushes eastward later Thursday.=20 This may be especially so from central TN northeast into central to eastern KY. Across these areas HREF neighborhood probabilities for 2"+ amounts after 1200 UTC Thursday are high, 50-90%, and 20-50% for 3"+ amounts. The convective squall line is also expected to be well defined southward from northern-central AL/north GA into southeast MS. The slight risk was drawn farther south from the previous outlook to cover the model consensus for heavy rains across northern to central AL, and far north GA that also overlap some of the lower FFG values.=20 Oravec Day 2 The Day 2 outlook will be updated by 0830Z. Day 3 The Day 3 outlook will be updated by 0830Z.
