The previous discussion summarizes today's Marginal Risk threat well along the central and lower Texas coast. While instability is hard to come by, PWs according to NAEFS are impressive for early-mid November. The 12Z soundings out of BRO and CRP measured 2.11" and 2.00" PWs respectively, but there was a reduction in instability over CRP compared to BRO. PWs will reach as high as the 99.5th climatological percentile over the Lower Rio Grande Valley and as far north as Corpus Christi at 18Z today. As the cold front moves south, instability will gradually decrease over the Lower Rio Grande Valley. In addition, the 12Z RAP showed warm cloud layers along the lower Texas coast that were approaching 14,000' in depth and low-mid layer RH values >95% later this afternoon. These parameters support efficient warm rainfall processes, but the lack of instability combined with higher FFGs from drier than normal conditions over the past month will limit the flash flood potential. Flooding in pour drainage areas cannot be fully ruled out, particularly in more urbanized communities. Mullinax ---Previous Discussion--- Front pushing south across the region this morning is expected to stall near the coast today. Warm, moist southwest flow aloft will support PWs at or above 2 inches along the coast. This moisture along with large-scale ascent afforded in part by right-entrance region upper jet forcing will help generate widespread precipitation across the region. While instability will be limited, a saturated air column may support efficient rates. A Marginal Risk was introduced highlighting the area where the HREF is showing high neighborhood probabilities for additional amounts of 3 inches or more. This includes portions of the Texas coast that received locally heavy amounts yesterday and where 3-hr FFG values have dropped below 0.25 inch in some locations. Pereira Day 2 Valid 12Z Sat Nov 11 2023 - 12Z Sun Nov 12 2023 The probability of rainfall exceeding flash flood guidance is less than 5 percent. Pereira Day 3 Valid 12Z Sun Nov 12 2023 - 12Z Mon Nov 13 2023 The probability of rainfall exceeding flash flood guidance is less than 5 percent.
