Subj : HVYRAIN: Excessive Rainfall Discussion To : wx-storm@lists.illinois.edu From : COD Weather Processor Date : Wed Feb 22 2023 07:52:26 FOUS30 KWBC 220752 QPFERD Excessive Rainfall Discussion NWS Weather Prediction Center College Park MD 251 AM EST Wed Feb 22 2023 Day 1 Valid 01Z Wed Feb 22 2023 - 12Z Wed Feb 22 2023 The probability of rainfall exceeding flash flood guidance is less than 5 percent. Local radar imagery over Mississippi and Alabama this morning showed a couple of narrow axes of higher reflectivity, oriented west to east, correlating to MRMS-derived and at least one gauge confirmed (Wunderground) hourly rainfall total in excess of 1 inch. Cloud tops on infrared imagery and 12Z soundings from JAN and BMX indicated the showers were largely warm rain based with little lightning driven by shallow instability predominantly below 500 mb. Low level convergence near 925 mb was helping to focus these showers. Short term training could conceivably support 2 inches of rain in 1 to 2 hours, which given above average soil moisture across Mississippi and Alabama, could result in very localized flooding, including any overlap with any urban areas. This threat is too low to include a risk area on the outlook and the showers/localized thunderstorms are expected to translate eastward into Georgia (drier soils) by late afternoon or early evening, coinciding with weakening low level winds and convergence.
