Subj : HVYRAIN: Excessive Rainfall Discussion To : wx-storm@lists.illinois.edu From : COD Weather Processor Date : Tue Aug 01 2023 08:09:53 FOUS30 KWBC 010809 QPFERD Excessive Rainfall Discussion NWS Weather Prediction Center College Park MD 408 AM EDT Tue Aug 01 2023 Day 1 Valid 12Z Tue Aug 01 2023 - 12Z Wed Aug 02 2023 ....THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF EXCESSIVE RAINFALL ACROSS MISSOURI AS WELL AS THE CENTRAL ROCKIES AND PLAINS... ....Southwest to the central High Plains... Another round of afternoon to evening convection expected today with the monsoonal moisture axis primarily confined to portions of eastern Nevada through much of Utah and into Wyoming/Colorado. Probabilities of seeing 0.5-1" hourly totals ramp up considerably by afternoon, peaking upwards of 30-50 percent across portions of NV/UT and above 60-70 percent for the CO foothills eastward through the central High Plains by late tonight. Some of these areas have received heavy rainfall Monday and early this morning, so soils will become increasingly saturated, especially across portions of CO. So the combination of intense rain rates (1-2"/hr), isolated rainfall totals of 3-4", and wetter antecedent conditions may lead to another round of scattered flash flooding. ....Northern Plains... Localized heavy rainfall will be possible during the period as an axis of higher moisture surges ahead of an approaching front combined with favorable forcing and enough instability to produce localized intense thunderstorms that may lead to a few instances of training thunderstorms that could produce flash flooding. ....Mid Missouri to the lower Ohio Valley... Very active, unsettled, and potentially significant heavy rainfall event beginning to set up across portions of Missouri the next couple of days. Upper ridge axis remains anchored over Texas early this morning with the ring of fire convection developing along its periphery. The northwest flow aloft positioned over the Mid Missouri to Mid Mississippi Valleys will interact with the strengthening low level jet early this morning to produce a narrow/localized swath of heavy rainfall that is just beginning to develop per recent radar and satellite imagery. This activity is likely to train/repeat as it slowly drifts southeast across central Missouri. The 00Z HREF suggests localized higher totals exceeding 3-5" will be possible through late morning before the low level jet wanes. This generally accounts for the western half of the Slight Risk area, which is on the higher end of the Slight Risk probabilities.=20 After a break/lull expected mid day to early evening, another round of convection will develop across portions of central/eastern Missouri after midnight tonight through Wednesday mid morning. The setup continues to look very conducive for heavy rainfall with anomalous moisture in place, sufficient elevated instability, and a strengthening low level jet positioned favorably into the region. The 00Z HREF and CAMs show potential for another localized/significant heavy rainfall swath, which is likely to be displaced just enough eastward of this morning's heavy rainfall, limiting the overlap and this threat accounts for the eastern area of the Slight Risk outlook. That threat will continue into the Day 2 period with additional heavy rainfall going beyond 12Z Wednesday. Taylor Day 2 The Day 2 outlook will be updated by 0830Z. Day 3 The Day 3 outlook will be updated by 0830Z.
