Discussion...Radar mosaic over the eastern OH Valley depicts two segments of thunderstorms exhibitng training characteristics ahead of a slow moving cold front approaching from the northwest. One segment of thunderstorms containing estimated 2-2.5"/hr rainfall rates over Youngstown, OH prompted a Flash Flood Warning as they trained over the city. These very efficient rainfall rates suggest the environment in the prefrontal airmass remains quite favorable for efficient warm rainfall production in any additional convection which develops. Recent mesoanalysis data corroborates this idea, and suggests 1.75-1.8" PWATs (around the 97th percentile per the NAEFS), 1000-1500 J/kg MLCAPE (with no CIN), and 20 kts of effective shear (oriented semi-parallel to the initiating boundary) are in the vicinity of the ongoing activity even with loss of diurnal heating. As such, the concern is for additional training segments to develop in the short term with additional 2-2.5"/hr rates possible. While the area has been dry as of late per NASA SPoRT, recent runs of the HRRR suggest localized amounts of 2-3" will be possible through 4Z, which could prompt additional instances of flash flooding as 1 HR FFGs are in the 1.5-2"/hr range.
