Subj : HVYRAIN: Excessive Rainfall Discussion To : wx-storm@lists.illinois.edu From : COD Weather Processor Date : Fri Oct 25 2024 00:58:36 FOUS30 KWBC 250058 QPFERD Excessive Rainfall Discussion NWS Weather Prediction Center College Park MD 858 PM EDT Thu Oct 24 2024 Day 1 Valid 01Z Fri Oct 25 2024 - 12Z Fri Oct 25 2024 ....THERE IS A MARGINAL RISK OF EXCESSIVE RAINFALL ACROSS PORTIONS OF THE MIDDLE MISSISSIPPI VALLEY... ....0100 Update... Few changes made to the Day 1 ERO, based on the latest observational data and trends (radar, satellite, mesoanalysis, etc), along with the latest HRRRs and 18Z HREF probabilistic guidance. Strengthening southwesterly low-level flow (40-50 kts at 850 mb) this evening will usher in PWATs to near 1.25" (well above the 90th percentile, per SPC sounding climatology), along with=20 sufficient instability (ML CAPE 1000+ J/kg) and forcing (potent=20 shortwave trough crossing the Central Plains) for convective=20 development. Strong vertical shear (~50 kts) with idealized curving hodographs will likely favor discrete convection (with both the=20 mean flow and bunkers right vectors favoring storm motions of 20-30 kts), and despite relatively low PWs (particularly compared to=20 warm season convection) any supercells will likely be capable of=20 1-2"/hr rainfall rates (per 40-km neighborhood HREF probabilities=20 for 1"/1-hr exceedance of 40-50%). While 1-2" totals should be well tolerated by soils (and largely beneficial, given dry antecedent=20 conditions), localized training could result in too much rainfall=20 (2"+) too quickly (in a matter of 2-3 hours). Given this threat, an isolated instance or two of flash flooding is possible. Hurley/Churchill Day 2 Valid 12Z Fri Oct 25 2024 - 12Z Sat Oct 26 2024 ....2000 UTC Update... The probability of rainfall exceeding flash flood guidance is less than 5 percent. Hurley Day 3 Valid 12Z Sat Oct 26 2024 - 12Z Sun Oct 27 2024 ....2000 UTC Update... The probability of rainfall exceeding flash flood guidance is less than 5 percent.
