Subj : HVYRAIN: Excessive Rainfall Discussion To : wx-storm@lists.illinois.edu From : COD Weather Processor Date : Wed Mar 15 2023 08:13:44 FOUS30 KWBC 150813 QPFERD Excessive Rainfall Discussion NWS Weather Prediction Center College Park MD 412 AM EDT Wed Mar 15 2023 Day 1 Valid 12Z Wed Mar 15 2023 - 12Z Thu Mar 16 2023 ....THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF EXCESSIVE RAINFALL ACROSS ARIZONA... ....Southern California and the Interior Southwest... A shortwave trough and its associated surface low will continue to move across the Intermountain West and Rockies, with a trailing cold front extending back across Southern California this morning. As drier air settles in across Northern to Central California, moderate to potentially heavy rains may continue across portions of Southern California as the front, accompanied by a plume of deep moisture, settles south through the region this morning. PWs of 1-1.25in on the leading edge of 30kt low level inflow, along with favorable mid-to-upper level forcing, and orographics may contribute to additional heavy rain this morning along the coast, before decreasing in coverage and intensity by the afternoon as the axis deeper moisture advection settles farther south. Farther to the east, southwesterly flow ahead of the advancing front will focus deeper moisture across Arizona, southern Nevada, and southern Utah later this morning. PWs of 0.5in or more (3-4 standard deviations above normal) will spread across the region.=20 This moisture, combined with favorable mid-to-upper level forcing, is expected to support widespread precipitation, with locally heavy rain rates possible. Some of the heaviest amounts are expected to focus in the upslope regions along and south of the Mogollon Rim and across portions of northwestern Arizona, where a Slight Risk was introduced with this update. In addition to the heavy rain, melting snow may also contribute to runoff concerns.=20=20 Pereira Day 2 The Day 2 outlook will be updated by 0830Z. Day 3 The Day 3 outlook will be updated by 0830Z.
