Bann Day 2 Valid 12Z Sun Apr 07 2024 - 12Z Mon Apr 08 2024 Rainfall is not expected to exceed flash flood guidance. Bann Day 3 Valid 12Z Mon Apr 08 2024 - 12Z Tue Apr 09 2024 ....THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF EXCESSIVE RAINFALL OVER PORTIONS OF THE SOUTHERN STATES... Convection capable of producing heavy to excessive rainfall will develop later in the day on Monday and persist into the early morning hours on Tuesday. The flow of moisture from the Gulf of Mexico will increase as low level flow increases in response to the approach of an upper level low from the Desert Southwest...and moisture flux convergence will be maximized as the deepening Gulf moisture encounters the southern end of a cold front extending from the Tennessee Valley southwestward towards the upper Texas coast. Increasing coverage of storms and increasingly intense rainfall rates are expected due to the upper level divergence ahead of the=20 approaching upper low atop of an airmass with climbing precipitable water values. At the same time, precipitable water values in=20 excess of 1.50 inches start advecting northward in southeast Texas and southwest Louisiana Monday night/early Tuesday as moisture=20 transport continues off of the Gulf. There is a decent amount of north/south placement differences...with the ECMWF being well south and the GFS continuing its idea from earlier runs about being too far to scoot the system northward/eastward. Focused a Slight Risk area where there was best overlap and where there was at least a modest consensus for 2 to 4 inch rainfall amounts through 12Z Tuesday.=20 With the risk of excessive rainfall persisting beyond the end of=20 the Day 3 period, refer to the Excessive Rainfall Outlooks for Days 4 and 5 from the WPC Medium Range desk.
