Subj : HVYRAIN: Excessive Rainfall Discussion To : wx-storm@lists.illinois.edu From : COD Weather Processor Date : Fri Nov 15 2024 00:43:46 FOUS30 KWBC 150043 QPFERD Excessive Rainfall Discussion NWS Weather Prediction Center College Park MD 743 PM EST Thu Nov 14 2024 Day 1 Valid 01Z Fri Nov 15 2024 - 12Z Fri Nov 15 2024 The probability of rainfall exceeding flash flood guidance is less than 5 percent. ....01Z update... Similar thinking to the previous outlook applies, where in a=20 worst-case scenario, localized flash flooding could develop in the=20 vicinity of the Outer Banks/eastern NC/southeastern VA. There is=20 good consensus for 3+ inches from the 18Z HREF to fall through 12Z=20 in/around Cape Hatteras, but potential for high rainfall rates=20 remains below the FFG thresholds. 18Z HREF does snow high probabilities (70+ percent) of >1"/hr rainfall rates across the NC OBX, including Cape Hatteras, between 06-10Z. Probabilities of 2+=20 in/hr rates peak between 40-50% between 08-10Z, while peak 3hr=20 probs of 3+ in/hr rates top out between 50-60%. Latest 3 hourly FFG across the NC OBX is 4+ inches, so again even with the latest=20 ensemble guidance, it does continue to appear these rainfall rates=20 will fall short of the latest FFG thresholds. This as the greater=20 deep-layer instability (MUCAPEs over 500 J/Kg) remains offshore.=20 Hurley/Otto ....Previous discussion... Maturing surface cyclone off the VA/NC coast will amplify rainfall prospects over the VA Tidewater into Eastern NC late this afternoon and evening with a developing axis of deformation driving elevated convective concerns in the aforementioned areas. Totals between=20 1.5-3" are forecast within these zones with some minor flooding=20 possible over urban zones and the immediate coast, coinciding with=20 coastal flooding likely occurring. Rainfall rates will fall short=20 of the necessary criteria to meet FFG exceedance, however a non- zero threat will exist for flash flood concerns across Northern NC=20 into Southern and Southeast VA in urban zones that are more prone=20 to flooding prospects. This is still below the 5% threshold=20 necessary for flash flooding leading to a continued nil ERO, but=20 non-zero threat.
