Subj : HVYRAIN: Excessive Rainfall Discussion To : wx-storm@lists.illinois.edu From : COD Weather Processor Date : Thu Dec 14 2023 08:11:47 FOUS30 KWBC 140811 QPFERD Excessive Rainfall Discussion NWS Weather Prediction Center College Park MD 311 AM EST Thu Dec 14 2023 Day 1 Valid 12Z Thu Dec 14 2023 - 12Z Fri Dec 15 2023 ...THERE IS A MARGINAL RISK OF EXCESSIVE RAINFALL ACROSS PORTIONS OF WEST TEXAS AND SOUTHWEST OKLAHOMA... Closed upper low over NM will continue to slowly propagate eastward with an increased large scale ascent pattern focused across the TX Panhandle into the western half of TX. A strong mid-level vorticity maxima will rotate around the broad circulation, entering into west TX by the end of the Zulu day today. The period from 00-12z Friday will be the greatest time frame for heavy rainfall for locations along and east of I-27 in the Panhandle down into the eastern Permian Basin and adjacent rolling plains. Totals on the order of 1-2" will be common within the period with some locations potentially seeing over 2" pending the training echo pattern with the north-northeast storm motions before shifting more northeasterly when the vorticity maxima pivots overhead and shifts the precip pattern into more of an upscale growth regime. The lack of buoyancy limits the potential of the setup, but the magnitude of large scale ascent and mid-level vorticity advection within an anomalous moisture field will maintain a degree of elevated convective potential and localized flash flooding across the above areas. Primary concern will be urban-based flooding in towns within the confines of the MRGL risk, as well as notorious low-water crossing points that can flood easier due to limited drainage.
