Subj : HVYRAIN: Excessive Rainfall Discussion To : wx-storm@lists.illinois.edu From : COD Weather Processor Date : Tue Feb 28 2023 07:20:54 FOUS30 KWBC 280720 QPFERD Excessive Rainfall Discussion NWS Weather Prediction Center College Park MD 217 AM EST Tue Feb 28 2023 Day 1 Valid 12Z Tue Feb 28 2023 - 12Z Wed Mar 01 2023 The probability of rainfall exceeding flash flood guidance is less than 5 percent.=20=20 Southern California... On Tuesday night, as an upper low drops southward from western WA to the northern CA/NV border, low-level inflow (at 850 hPa) picks up out of the Pacific at ~45 kts and precipitable water values rise towards 0.75". CAPE is expected to rise into the 100-200 J/kg range. The ingredients above indicate the potential for hourly rain totals up to ~0.4", which is hinted at within the 00z HREF probabilities of 0.5", which are towards 30% within the Peninsular and eastern Transverse Ranges of southern CA. Another complication from an excessive rainfall standpoint is the low snow levels expected with this system -- no higher than 4500 feet. The chance of excessive rainfall, which would be primarily for burn scars, is non-zero but probably still below 5% on a neighborhood basis. Any further increase in moisture, instability, or snow/freezing levels could lead to an upgrade to a Marginal Risk for southernmost California. Roth Day 2 The Day 2 outlook will be updated by 0830Z.
