Flash flooding is possible beneath the heavier/stronger cores. Discussion...Convective activity continues to expand in coverage over the past 30 minutes. The storms are in a very weakly sheared environment due to weak steering flow aloft, although modestly increasing low-level flow (into the 25 knot range) is likely promoting at least localized organization with storms across the discussion area. The environment immediately downstream of the storms is characterized by 2000 J/kg MLCAPE and 0.9 inch PW values, which is enough to promote locally heavy rainfall given the slow storm motions. A few spots of 1+ inch/hr rain rates are occurring beneath the heavier cores, and these trends should continue in the short term. Models/CAMs suggest that the ongoing thunderstorm activity should be primarily diurnally driven and continue over the next 3-4 hours. 20-25 knots of low-level shear may promote maintenance of clusters or linear segments for an hour or two after sunset, although general model concensus is that weaking instability should result in a lessened heavy rainfall threat especially after about 04Z or so. The MRMS-estimated rainfall rates are exceeding FFG thresholds (0.75-1.5 inch/hr) in a few spots and should continue to do so occasionally until storms begin to weaken.
