Hurley Day 2 Valid 12Z Sun Mar 03 2024 - 12Z Mon Mar 04 2024 The probability of rainfall exceeding flash flood guidance is less than 5 percent. Hurley Day 3 Valid 12Z Mon Mar 04 2024 - 12Z Tue Mar 05 2024 ....THERE IS A MARGINAL RISK OF EXCESSIVE RAINFALL ACROSS PORTIONS OF THE LOWER MISSISSIPPI VALLEY TO THE CENTRAL GULF COAST... Elongated southern stream jet streak expanding along the U.S.-Mexican border will allow shortwave energy to spread into the Lower MS Valley and Central Gulf Coast region late Monday into Monday night. Favorable left-exit region upper forcing ahead of the main shortwave trough (upper divergence, deep-layer ascent, and increasing southerly low-level flow off the Gulf of Mexico) will allow for a quick surge in low-mid level theta-e/moisture transport into the outlook area by Monday night, though at this point per the ensembles, the 850 mb wind and moisture flux standard anomalies are barely 1 standard deviation above normal for early March through the Day 3 period (12Z Tue). Nevertheless, the favorable synoptic setup with PWs climbing to ~1.75" and MUCAPEs to ~1000+ J/Kg (highest along and off the Gulf Coast) will favor widespread development of showers and thunderstorms, with localized heavier rainfall rates of 2-3 inches within 2-3 hours possible in areas where quasi-linear segments off the Gulf can train for a while. This scenario could pose an isolated flash flood risk, mainly across urban and other poor-drainage areas. As a result, the Marginal Risk from yesterday's Day 4 ERO was carried over into today's Day 3 outlook, albeit truncated quite a bit given the lack of deep-layer instability farther north from the Gulf Coast.
