Subj : HVYRAIN: Excessive Rainfall Discussion To : wx-storm@lists.illinois.edu From : COD Weather Processor Date : Tue Dec 19 2023 08:18:18 FOUS30 KWBC 190818 QPFERD Excessive Rainfall Discussion NWS Weather Prediction Center College Park MD 317 AM EST Tue Dec 19 2023 Day 1 Valid 12Z Tue Dec 19 2023 - 12Z Wed Dec 20 2023 ....THERE IS A MARGINAL RISK OF EXCESSIVE RAINFALL ACROSS COASTAL CALIFORNIA... A strong, anomalously deep closed upper low currently well offshore the Pacific Northwest will drop southeastward toward the central California coast by early Wednesday morning. This system will bring an unsettled and active weather pattern to much of the coastal areas of California through the rest of this week, beginning today/tonight across mainly northern/central California coast where the greatest forcing for ascent exists. A plume of higher moisture, characterized by PWs near/exceeding 1" and IVT values 400-500 kg/m/s (per CW3E), will brush the coastal areas and lead to a threat of hourly totals in excess of 0.5". The 00Z HREF neighborhood probabilities for 0.5"+ in 1-hr peak near 70 percent along the coast north of the Bay Area, which may lead to some isolated flooding, particularly for sensitive and urban areas. 24-hr totals approaching 2-2.5" are expected with isolated higher amounts near 3" possible along the coast. Across the northern Sierra, snow levels will be relatively high, so the expected 2-3" totals may lead to some flooding concerns. Taylor Day 2 The Day 2 outlook will be updated by 0830Z. Day 3 The Day 3 outlook will be updated by 0830Z.
