Concerning...Heavy rainfall...Flash flooding possible Valid 092100Z - 100200Z SUMMARY...Training showers/thunderstorms capable of .5-.75"/hr and localized streaks of 1-2" may result in localized flash flooding over the next few hours. DISCUSSION...CIRA LPW, VWP obs and RAP analysis, shows surge of subtropical moisture through the Lower Colorado Valley on 15-20kst of south to southeasterly confluent flow. Total PWat values have increased to over 1.25". Strong convergence along the tight moisture gradient has providing a sufficient differential boundary for isentropic ascent. Deep layer profiles are not particularly unstable (100-250 J/kg of CAPE) given the mid-level warming, but the strength of deep layer moisture convergence generally coincident with a combined diffluent portion of the polar and subtropical jet noted in GOES-W WV suite was sufficient to allow for elevated convective cores to develop, maintain and even expand upstream toward the San Bernadino Range. Total Pwats of 1.25" and moistening of the sub-cloud is allowing for some increased rainfall rates of .5-.75"/hr.=20 Upstream shortwave energy rounding th western edge of the sub-tropical ridge shows some additional cumuliform mid-level clouds indicative of upstream energy and potential for further upstream redevelopment/back-building environment. As such, with deep layer steering generally oriented parallel to the ascent boundary there is increasing potential for repeating cores and a streak or two of 1-2" totals. Limited soil conditions and low FFG values of .75-1.25"/3hrs suggests localized flash flooding is possible within this band for the next few hours.
