Additional localized instances of flash flooding are likely. Discussion...A mesoscale convective system (MCS) is maturing across portions of eastern AR and far western OK early this morning, providing forcing for further longevity via the cold pool (in an otherwise weakly forced environment). The parameter space immediately ahead of the south-southeastward propagating MCS is characterized by ample instability (SB CAPE of 2000-3500 J/kg), precipitable water values of 1.9-2.3 inches (between the 90th percentile and max moving average, per LZK sounding climatology), and moisture transport via a (likely peaking) 30 kt low-level jet (LLJ). While MCS maintenance probabilities (via the EMC RAP) have decreased to about 20-30%, the forcing of the maturing cold pool should still provide at least another couple hours of impressive rainfall rates where the leading edge of the bow echo traverses. In fact, MRMS over the past hour has indicated 2-3" totals in association with the bow echo itself, but more impressively 15-min accumulations have been pushing as high as 1.5". Expect this to continue downstream of the propagating MCS, where 1-hr FFG is as low as 2". This should allow for additional localized instances of flash flooding, until the LLJ sufficiently weakens and veers (eventually marking the end of the MCS). Only the most recent HRRR run (08z) has caught on to the appropriate track of the SSE propagation, but the 00z HREF probability matched mean QPF depicts a similar picture (which seems to be largely due to the influence of the ARW2 member).
