Subj : HVYRAIN: Excessive Rainfall Discussion To : wx-storm@lists.illinois.edu From : COD Weather Processor Date : Mon Jan 01 2024 22:34:35 FOUS30 KWBC 012234 QPFERD Excessive Rainfall Discussion NWS Weather Prediction Center College Park MD 532 PM EST Mon Jan 01 2024 Day 1 Valid 01Z Tue Jan 02 2024 - 12Z Tue Jan 02 2024 The probability of rainfall exceeding flash flood guidance is less than 5 percent. Oravec/Kleebauer/Roth Day 2 Valid 12Z Tue Jan 02 2024 - 12Z Wed Jan 03 2024 The probability of rainfall exceeding flash flood guidance is less than 5 percent. Progressive shortwave will continue to move through the south-central US with an area of difluent ascent focused over central and east TX by Tuesday evening, carrying into LA by the end of the period. Marginal instability profiles are forecast with the max deterministic MUCAPE reaching near 500 J/kg, fading quickly after 00z Wednesday. The limited instability caps the potential with regards to thunderstorm coverage and intensity as rates settle at or below 25% for even reaching 1"/hr at any point within the time frame of impact based on the latest HREF probability fields. Totals on the order of 0.75-1.25" with a max of up to 1.75" in the period will be the most likely amounts across portions of the TX Gulf Coast up through east TX and central/western LA. Considering the antecedent dryness over much of the area of interest, as well as the progressive nature of the disturbance, have opted to maintain a void in any risk areas, but will continue to monitor short term convective trends to see if any MRGL addition(s) are needed. Out west, a similar evolution to the previous few moisture surges on the leading edge of broad lows off the PAC coast will allow for 1-2" of rainfall across portions of northern CA with lesser totals to the south. IVT signatures are outside the historical values we typically see for higher impact events within the above area. Will maintain the void in any risk areas for that location as well with very little threat of an upgrade at this juncture.
