Flash flooding is possible, especially in urbanized communities and poor drainage areas. DISCUSSION...GOES-16 satellite imagery showed a robust MCS tracking through the Lower MS Valley this afternoon. Based on surface observations, a cold pool and resulting meso high have formed just north of the main line tracking southeast. The air-mass out ahead of the MCS is primed to maintain this complex with MLCAPE up to 4,000 J/kg, dew points in the low-mid 70s, and effective bulk shear of 25-30 knots. The atmosphere also contains no shortage of moisture as PWATs are as high as 2.0-2.25". These PWATs are close to the 90th climatological percentile in parts of the Lower MS Valley. 1-hr MRMS QPE showed portions of southeast AR received as much as 2-3" in the past hour. The mean wind vectors are out of the NW at 20 knots, so the storms' progressive nature will keep the flash flood threat limited to areas that can see training on the trailing flanks of the MCS, or in poor drainage areas where torrential rainfall rates typically result in flash flooding. Most 1-hr FFGs are as high as 3", favoring the most intense storms or areas where storms have the longest residency times that feature the best chances to produce flash flooding. The more urbanized cities are also at higher risk for possible flash flooding due to the greater concentration of hydrophobic surfaces.
