Subj : HVYRAIN: Excessive Rainfall Discussion To : wx-storm@lists.illinois.edu From : COD Weather Processor Date : Wed May 10 2023 07:24:35 FOUS30 KWBC 100724 QPFERD Excessive Rainfall Discussion NWS Weather Prediction Center College Park MD 323 AM EDT Wed May 10 2023 Day 1 Valid 12Z Wed May 10 2023 - 12Z Thu May 11 2023 ....THERE IS A MODERATE RISK OF EXCESSIVE RAINFALL NEAR THE TEXAS/LOUISIANA BORDER...=20 =20 ....Western Gulf Coast across AR...=20=20 The combination of a mid-level low moving north out of TX into the Midwest and an incoming closed cyclone moving through the West should set the stage for good moisture transport through the Plains, divergent flow aloft, strengthening low-level inflow/effective bulk shear, and sufficient instability for organized convection. To the south of the lifting upper level low, training and efficient bands of convection are expected from the Middle and Upper TX coast north-northeast through the Sabine River into far southwest AR. The reconfigured Moderate Risk area was coordinated with the HGX/Houston-Galveston TX, LCH/Lake Charles LA, SHV/Shreveport LA, and LZK/Little Rock AR forecast offices. The mesoscale guidance shows that portions of the Middle and Upper TX Coast should be receiving heavy rainfall at the beginning of the period in an area where a CAPE gradient should be lifting north within a warm advection pattern behind the departing upper low. The 00z HREF shows non-zero chances of 3"+ in an hour and 8"+ in 24 hours within the Moderate Risk area, which should be a morning event primarily in Southeast TX and occur during daytime heating into the overnight hours for places farther north. The Slight Risk area has been expanded across much of AR -- local Moderate Risk impacts are possible Wednesday night into early Thursday where any efficient, training bands manage to form. =20=20 ....Central High Plains/Northern Plains... A combination of upslope flow and some low- to mid-level frontogenesis acting in concert with sufficient instability should lead to heavy rainfall. Heavy rain which has occurred the past several days keeps portions of southern NE and northwest KS in the Marginal Risk. Precipitable water values near or above 1" in the High Plains are a big deal from a heavy rainfall perspective.=20 Closer to the 850 hPa low in WY/MT, the guidance has a strong signal for local 2" amounts...local amounts to 4" can't be ruled out. There has been some reduction to the size of the Slight Risk to follow the trend seen on the most recent guidance. =20 Roth=20 Day 2 The Day 2 outlook will be updated by 0830Z.
