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. ....Southern Kansas/Northern Oklahoma... There remains a non-zero threat for excessive rainfall across south-central to southeast Kansas and north-central to northeast Oklahoma as strengthening mid to upper level dynamics are trying to draw favorable moisture/instability ingredients into the region ahead of a sharpening mid-level trough late Sunday into Monday.=20 This upper-level low will support strong cyclogenesis across the Southern Plains, while defining a sharpening dry line and strong southerly flow. Available moisture is lagging the increased wind flow, with total PWats only expected to reach 1.2-1.3" through late afternoon across central OK. A dryline bulge across NW Oklahoma is expected to support stronger moisture flux convergence for some scattered to widely scattered thunderstorms across the area of concern through late evening into the overnight hours of Monday. However, with the lack of moisture loading into the column combined with fairly quick steering flow/cell motion vectors, rain-rates and totals are more likely than not to reach even the naturally lower FFG values of the Flint Hills of SE Kansas into Osage county, OK (<2"/hr). 12z Hi-Res Convective Allowing Models do hint at spots of intense rates but generally run in the 1.5-1.75"/hr range with similar (or less) totals.=20 Orientation of the moisture flux convergence near the dry-line bulge may support upstream regeneration for possible training environment. However, longer term drought conditions are in place with soil moisture values in the top 40cm well below average. So only risk would be very intense short-term rates where soils are hydrophobic do to drought conditions or urban environment. So all in all, the risk will fall short of the 5% probability threshold for delineating a risk category, but an incident of flooding can not be fully ruled out, though most rain will be highly beneficial.
