Subj : HVYRAIN: Excessive Rainfall Discussion To : wx-storm@lists.illinois.edu From : COD Weather Processor Date : Mon Mar 06 2023 00:49:47 FOUS30 KWBC 060049 QPFERD Excessive Rainfall Discussion NWS Weather Prediction Center College Park MD 749 PM EST Sun Mar 05 2023 Day 1 Valid 01Z Mon Mar 06 2023 - 12Z Mon Mar 06 2023 The probability of rainfall exceeding flash flood guidance is less than 5 percent. Showers and thunderstorms have formed over portions of the central Florida peninsula during the late afternoon with onshore flow in the wake of the sea-breeze encountered modest instability and a separate north-south oriented surface boundary near the center of the peninsula. Recent runs of the HRRR still shows the possibility for isolated intense rain rates within the merging/colliding convective clusters through about 03Z or so before the rates weaken and activity shifts back closer to the east coast. However...given the isolated nature of the short-lived cores of heaviest rainfall and the relatively dry conditions should keep any flooding issues mostly nuisance with isolated instances of minor urban flooding runoff. No risk area was defined with this update. Taylor/Bann Day 2 Valid 12Z Mon Mar 06 2023 - 12Z Tue Mar 07 2023 The probability of rainfall exceeding flash flood guidance is less than 5 percent. Taylor Day 3 Valid 12Z Tue Mar 07 2023 - 12Z Wed Mar 08 2023 ....THERE IS A MARGINAL RISK OF EXCESSIVE RAINFALL FOR PORTIONS OF THE SOUTHERN PLAINS AND MIDDLE/LOWER MISSISSIPPI VALLEY... The upper-level pattern over the CONUS will be slowly amplifying Tuesday as a broad trough remains in place over the West and weak ridging begins to build downstream over the Mississippi Valley, with southwest flow in place over the central CONUS. At the surface, a front will be pushing southward over the Middle/Lower Mississippi Valley and Southern Plains overnight Monday and into the day Tuesday, eventually slowing and likely becoming stationary in the vicinity of the Red River Valley. Precipitable water anomalies across the region begin to increase by Tuesday evening into early Wednesday morning 2-2.5 standard deviations above the mean as a combination of return flow moisture from the Gulf of Mexico as well as an additional moisture stream to the southwest from the Pacific meet over the Southern Plains. Storms are expected to develop and increase in coverage late Tuesday evening into the early morning hours Wednesday as convergence and lift increase along and over the generally east-west stationary boundary ahead of a weak surface wave and also an inverted surface trough extending to the north. The most recent model guidance continues to cluster around areal averages of 0.5-1" across portions of the outlook area while the environmental ingredients and setup suggest potential for isolated 2-3" totals possible, particularly by the end of the period. There remains some uncertainties in the placement of the heaviest rainfall however, so confidence in introducing a Slight Risk wasn't high enough for this update. Recent NASA SPoRT soil moisture anomalies in the 0-40 cm layer (moisture percentiles 80-95%) indicate some increased sensitivity to heavy rainfall so as confidence increases, an upgrade to a Slight Risk may be warranted for scattered instances of flash flooding.
