Southwest VA... Concerning...Heavy rainfall...Flash flooding possible Valid 022330Z - 030445Z SUMMARY...Repeating rounds of thunderstorms with possible short-term training potential to increase localized 2-3" totals an possible flash flooding conditions, particularly in complex terrain. DISCUSSION...Regional RADAR mosaic and GOES-E imagery loops depict multiple linear convective lines moving east-northeast in progressive flow across KY into the central Appalachians. Many of the bands are starting to have upstream development along the trailing convergence/outflow boundaries laid out as the prior line passed. Surface southerly flow to SSWly boundary layer flow support sufficient convergence along these boundaries to initiate newer development which orient favorably to the progressive deep layer steering flow for short-term training potential.=20 Strong insolation but sufficient capping has allowed for instability between 2000 and 3000 J/kg, but is starting to diminish slowly with loss of peak heating. The convergence has become sufficient to develop increasing convective activity in the late day, and with slowly increasing SSW LLJ to 20-30kts by 02z, moisture flux convergence should maintain some clustering with efficient rainfall production. Rates of 1.5-2"/hr should be typical through 04z before weakening as remaining instability pockets either are exhausted or become capped again. Cell motions will be quick and so short-term training or more likely multiple rounds with each mesoscale forcing wave, should allow for localized 2-3" totals through 06z. Given how quickly in succession will determine flash flooding potential, but localized incidents of flash flooding will remain possible, particularly as the cells move into/across more complex terrain in eastern KY, southern WV, and southwestern VA even though the area has been relatively dry.
