Gallina Day 2 Valid 12Z Sun Nov 19 2023 - 12Z Mon Nov 20 2023 The probability of rainfall exceeding flash flood guidance is less than 5 percent. Bann Day 3 Valid 12Z Mon Nov 20 2023 - 12Z Tue Nov 21 2023 ....There is a Marginal Risk of Excessive Rainfall Over Portions of the Lower Mississippi Valley and Gulf Coast States... Flow aloft over the Lower Mississippi Valley and Gulf Coast region will back in response to the amplification of a long wave trough over the Intermountain region and the Rockies. There should be increasing divergence aloft...which sets the stage for cyclogenesis over Arkansas or far southern Missouri during the latter part of the day. Convection with some potential for producing some flash flooding due to downpours is expected to develop in an increasingly moist and unstable airmass along and ahead of a cold front tied to the surface low. The NCEP guidance and the ECMWF show precipitable water values increasing to between 1.8 and 2.0 inches from Louisiana to parts of Arkansas and Mississippi by 21/06Z and more than 2.5 standardize anomalies by 21/12Z. Those values approach 2 standardized anomalies above climatology for this time of year. The 18/00Z GFS and UKMET were most aggressive with maximum 24-hour rainfall amounts in the 2 inch to 3 inch range while the ECMWF was only showing isolated maximum amounts generally at or below 1.25 inches. Flash flood guidance values generally range from 2.5 to 3.75 inches at both the 1- and 3-hour time intervals...so it is possible that these values could be challenged in localized areas if the rates are sufficiently high. However...lack of any GEFS or SREF members showing 3 inch contours suggests not upgrading to a Slight risk at this point.
