Subj : HVYRAIN: Excessive Rainfall Discussion To : wx-storm@lists.illinois.edu From : COD Weather Processor Date : Sun May 07 2023 08:26:44 FOUS30 KWBC 070826 QPFERD Excessive Rainfall Discussion NWS Weather Prediction Center College Park MD 426 AM EDT Sun May 07 2023 Day 1 Valid 12Z Sun May 07 2023 - 12Z Mon May 08 2023 ....THERE IS A MARGINAL RISK OF EXCESSIVE RAINFALL OVER PORTIONS OF THE MIDWEST... Consensus of 1 to 3 inches across this part of the country persists from the previous run and WPC forecast, with the NAM and UKMET continuing to hint at isolated maxima of 4 to 6 inches. The operational global runs and some of the higher resolution guidance...including the HREF...have started showing about 10 percent probabilities of 1 hour rainfall accumulation in an hour exceeding 1-hour Flash Flood Guidance between 08/03Z and 08/06Z...with and 20+ percent probability of 3-hour rainfall accumulation exceeding the 3-hour Flash Flood Guidance during roughly the same time frame from portions of eastern Iowa into northern Illinois. This corresponds to the when the southwesterly flow at 850 mb ramps up to between 20 and 30 kts. Sided more with the 07/00Z GFS/NAM/UKMET rather than the ECMWF/CMC which sped a QPF max eastward closer to the OH River. Even though the EC/CMC idea can not be ruled out....the latest spaghetti plot of 2 inch contours from the SREF (from both the NMM and ARW) lends more support to solution over Iowa. To cover the possibility that the EC/CMC is right...a broad Marginal risk was maintained to signal the uncertainty rather than telegraphing the idea that the entire area is about to be drenched.
