Subj : HVYRAIN: Excessive Rainfall Discussion To : wx-storm@lists.illinois.edu From : COD Weather Processor Date : Sun Oct 06 2024 20:24:26 FOUS30 KWBC 062024 QPFERD Excessive Rainfall Discussion NWS Weather Prediction Center College Park MD 424 PM EDT Sun Oct 6 2024 Day 1 Valid 16Z Sun Oct 06 2024 - 12Z Mon Oct 07 2024 ....THERE IS A MODERATE RISK OF EXCESSIVE RAINFALL FOR THE MIAMI- FORT LAUDERDALE METRO... 16Z Update.... Moderate Risk is maintained over the Miami metro area. Slight Risk is expanded up the length of the Florida Atlantic coast per coordination with WFOs MLB and JAX. A weak surface low remains west of the FL Peninsula morning. This is well east of T.S. Milton, but in the same plume of incredibly deep tropical moisture and will enhance southerly flow south of FL and easterly flow east of the Miami metro. PWATs are around 2.5" just southwest of the lower FL Peninsula to 2.1" near Palm Beach which has allowed heavy rains to develop and repeat on the southern side of the Miami metro and many areas of heavy rain looming just off the southwest FL Peninsula coast. MPD 1091 has further info for southern FL. Portions of the Ft. Lauderdale and Miami metros saw up to 3 inches of rain on Saturday, further increasing risks to this urban corridor. Farther north up the FL Atlantic coast, convergence continues, but with lesser forcing than farther south. Enough confidence in scattered flash flooding through this afternoon to warrant expanding the Slight Risk up the FL Atlantic coast into the GA coast. All of south Florida gets heavy rains with 12Z HREF and recent HRRRs heavier south from Lake Okeechobee, warranting expansion of the Slight Risk there. The looming activity off the southwest FL coast should drift north. The 12Z CAM consensus (and subsequent HRRRs) is to keep it south of Tampa Bay, but the Slight Risk is maintained there with just a trim over northern suburbs given the regional radar depiction. Jackson Day 2 Valid 12Z Mon Oct 07 2024 - 12Z Tue Oct 08 2024 ....THERE IS A MODERATE RISK OF EXCESSIVE RAINFALL FOR THE MIAMI- FORT LAUDERDALE METRO... 21z Update... Moderate Risk added for Miami metro. A weak surface low currently in the eastern Gulf of Mexico likely crosses the southern FL Peninsula late tonight/Monday morning and is likely to provide focus for heavy rain in south Florida through much of Monday. The HRRR, including the recent 18Z run, has been=20 consistent with this more progressive approach with the leading low which seems reasonable and focuses the heaviest swath over the southern end of the FL Peninsula. Given this overlap of southern FL with heavy rain from today, adding the Miami metro to a Moderate is reasonable per request from WFO MFL. As of now it is continued Slight Risks for the Keys where a second day of very heavy rain, which at high tide times=20 may cause flooding due to poor drainage. Consideration was given to a Moderate Risk for the southwest Coast south from Ft Myers which may be necessary how much falls there through tonight. The 18Z HRRR's solution with a farther south southern max tilted the decision toward leaving the southwest Coast in a Slight Risk for now Farther north given the heavy rain from this morning over portions of the Space Coast, the Slight Risk was shifted north to include the rest of the Atlantic coast of the MFL CWA.=20 Wegman/Jackson Day 3 Valid 12Z Tue Oct 08 2024 - 12Z Wed Oct 09 2024 ....THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF EXCESSIVE RAINFALL FOR MUCH OF THE=20 FLORIDA PENINSULA... 21Z Update... Slight Risk expanded to include rest of southern Florida Peninsula/Keys. The PRE (predecessor rain event) ahead of Milton will enter its=20 third and final day over the Florida Peninsula on Tuesday. The slower solutions to Milton with 12Z runs today suggest the Tampa=20 Bay area may not see the direct rainfall impacts from Milton until after 12Z Wednesday.=20 Given the inherent uncertainty with the track and persistence of the high PW plume over the Peninsula, the Slight over the=20 Peninsula was maintained again, with expansion over southern FL due to heightened sensitivity there from two days of heavy rain. Predominant southwesterly flow in the trough ahead of Milton's=20 core circulation will retain at least some heavy rainfall. Given=20 the areas of heavy rain through Day 2, soils on the Florida=20 Peninsula at or near saturation, resulting in nearly all of the=20 rainfall converting to runoff. Thus, progressively less rainfall=20 will be needed to result in flooding.
