Subj : HVYRAIN: Excessive Rainfall Discussion To : wx-storm@lists.illinois.edu From : COD Weather Processor Date : Sat Mar 02 2024 01:09:05 FOUS30 KWBC 020108 QPFERD Excessive Rainfall Discussion NWS Weather Prediction Center College Park MD 808 PM EST Fri Mar 01 2024 Day 1 Valid 01Z Sat Mar 02 2024 - 12Z Sat Mar 02 2024 The probability of rainfall exceeding flash flood guidance is less than 5 percent. Near the AL/GA border... A shortwave evident on water vapor imagery has been luring 500-1000 J/kg MU CAPE into a fairly sharp 850 hPa boundary, leading to a couple hours of heavy rainfall across portions of central AL. Local amounts of near or above 2" have been indicated on portions of radar estimates with high correlation coefficient and surface observations. Flash flood guidance values are quite high, 3"+ in three hours, as the area has seen well below normal rainfall over the past couple weeks. With the guidance indicating some weakening of the 850 hPa boundary with time, and the mobile shortwave limiting areas of cell training, left the graphic blank. Very isolated flash flooding cannot be ruled out, though believe the chance of such in a neighborhood probability sense is under 5 percent. SC coastal plain... Active showers and thunderstorms have been seen in the vicinity of a coastal front across portions of SC. The mesoscale guidance has been indicating heavy rainfall near Charleston, with the 12z HREF indicating that we're nearly midway through its threat of 0.5"+ an hour, which was extended farther into the night in the 18z HREF probabilities. MU CAPE has been low enough -- just over 100 J/kg -- to generally keep hourly rain totals under 1" and local amounts up to 2". Flash flood guidance is also high in this area 3"+ in three hours, as the region has seen well below normal rainfall over the past couple weeks. With convective activity showing no real organization, decided to maintain continuity with no Marginal Risk area depicted. Very isolated longer duration or flash flooding cannot be ruled out, though believe the chance of such in a neighborhood probability sense is under 5 percent.
