Subj : HVYRAIN: Excessive Rainfall Discussion To : wx-storm@lists.illinois.edu From : COD Weather Processor Date : Sat Feb 25 2023 08:12:29 FOUS30 KWBC 250812 QPFERD Excessive Rainfall Discussion NWS Weather Prediction Center College Park MD 311 AM EST Sat Feb 25 2023 Day 1 Valid 12Z Sat Feb 25 2023 - 12Z Sun Feb 26 2023 ....THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF EXCESSIVE RAINFALL FOR PORTIONS OF THE LOS ANGELES AND SAN DIEGO BASINS... The upper level low bringing heavy rainfall across much of Southern California currently will begin to move eastward a bit more quickly today. The low's eastward progress will begin its process of rejoining the jet stream. The eastward movement of the upper level forcing is causing the surface cold front to also move eastward into the coast. Thus, the axis of heaviest rainfall will move into the Los Angeles and San Diego basins this morning. The rainfall into the Peninsular Ranges won't be nearly as heavy as the rain ongoing across the Transverse Ranges. Nonetheless, widespread 2-4 inch storm total rainfall is likely to cause flooding problems in the areas south and east of Los Angeles, which haven't gotten much rain thus far. Meanwhile, flash flooding is ongoing north and west of Los Angeles as heavy rainfall continues. Fortunately, once the cold front moves through, the steadiest rains will shift eastward, leaving this area to contend with scattered showers. Those showers will still be capable of producing locally heavy rain, which may keep any localized flooding going for longer, but most areas will be on a drying trend going forward. Thus, expect the risk categories to lower this afternoon as the rain coverage and overall intensity diminish. No changes were made to the inherited forecast risk areas, as there's good agreement that the rain shifting east will end the threat for areas north and west earlier, and much of the Slight Risk area got relatively little rainfall yesterday.
