Subj : HVYRAIN: Excessive Rainfall Discussion To : wx-storm@lists.illinois.edu From : COD Weather Processor Date : Mon Oct 02 2023 08:31:20 FOUS30 KWBC 020831 QPFERD Excessive Rainfall Discussion NWS Weather Prediction Center College Park MD 430 AM EDT Mon Oct 02 2023 Day 1 Valid 12Z Mon Oct 02 2023 - 12Z Tue Oct 03 2023 ....THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF EXCESSIVE RAINFALL OVER PORTIONS OF THE SOUTHERN HIGH PLAINS... ....Southern High Plains... An upper trough propagating through the West will trigger showers and thunderstorms across the High Plains today. The Southern High Plains, in particular, will face the threat of excessive rainfall and flash flooding. PWATs will be between 1-1.5" with decent low level southerly flow. The instability this afternoon will be over 1000J/Kg meaning storms that initiate could produce efficient rain rates of over 0.5"/hr over recently saturated soils. The Slight Risk area, in coordination with ABQ, was expanded northwestward since the last issuance to account for the especially vulnerable Hermits Peak Calf Canyon burn scar. The Slight's southwestern extent was maintained to account for a consistent GFS and HREF signal for another round of late night/early morning convection near Pecos and Monahans in west Texas. HREF probabilities are hitting on high confidence of over 3" in that area tonight. ....Florida... The Marginal Risk area from the last issuance was curtailed to encompass only southeastern Florida surrounding the eastern Keys and the Miami metro. A slow moving surface front is expected to continue its southward trajectory today. The main threat of flash flooding will be over the urban corridor where there's moderate confidence of HREF probabilities reaching over 3". ....Texas Coast... There's been a persistent signal for some heavy rain to occur along a convergence zone within southern Gulf Coast of Texas today. Ample instability around 1500-2000J/Kg and a modest low level jet will support a few intense rounds of convection this afternoon. HREF probabilities suggest moderate confidence of over 3" of rainfall. Urban areas such as Corpus Christi will be susceptible to flash flooding. Kebede Day 2 The Day 2 outlook will be updated by 0830Z. Day 3 Valid 12Z Wed Oct 04 2023 - 12Z Thu Oct 05 2023 ....THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF EXCESSIVE RAINFALL OVER PORTIONS OF THE SOUTHERN PLAINS... There is growing confidence in a heavy rainfall event unfolding over much of the Southern Plains of Oklahoma and north-central Texas on Wednesday. The operational models have been signalling 2-4" (locally higher) for much of the current Slight Risk area centered over the Red River for the last several runs. The amplified upper trough swinging through the Great Plains and upper jet crossing will provide ample forcing of convection over Texas and Oklahoma. Sufficient instability of over 1000J/Kg will be in place with low level jet support to allow for higher rain rates. Further upgrades are possible if confidence continues to grow.
