    Areas affected...Piedmont to Southern Blue Ridge

    Concerning...Heavy rainfall...Flash flooding likely

    Valid 172027Z - 180130Z

    SUMMARY...East to West training and efficient rainfall rates up to
    2-3"/hr in a band developing over an occluded front over the
    Piedmont of northern North Carolina will continue to develop and
    shift across portions of the southern Blue Ridge near the NC/VA
    border into this evening. Localized flash flooding/rapid
    inundation flooding in this narrow corridor is likely.

    DISCUSSION...Convection has reinvigorated in broad convergence
    along/north of an occluded front over the NC Piedmont this
    afternoon from around the Raleigh-Durham Triangle west through the
    southern Blue Ridge near the NC/VA border. Dewpoints in the low
    70s with sufficient instability (1000 J/kg MUCAPE) along the
    occluded front are fueling stronger updrafts and the influx of
    tropical moisture is allowing redevelopment. PW of 1.6 to 1.8" are
    1.5 sigma from normal support 2-2.5"/hr rain rates that may
    locally peak at 3"/hr as seen from KFCX over Stokes Co NC,
    particularly in areas of upslope with the steep eastern side of
    the Blue Ridge (near and south of Fancy Gap) in the area of
    concern.=20

    Slow motion to the occluded low/front will support west to east
    training over the next few hours. This may result in 3-5"
    localized totals over the NC Piedmont and especially along the
    Blue Ridge. Given that around an inch of rain fall in advance of
    this activity over the past day, FFG is generally around 1.5"/hr.
    Recent HRRR runs have picked up on this activity and features
    splotches around 2" through 02Z. However, given the sufficient
    instability, slow motion, and heavy rates observed, flash flooding
    is considered likely.

    Areas affected...Central MT

    Concerning...Heavy rainfall...Flash flooding possible

    Valid 180905Z - 181505Z

    SUMMARY...Heavy rainfall is expected to become more concentrated
    going through dawn and the early morning hours across portions of
    central MT. Generally this setup will favor an areal flood threat,
    but around any burn scar locations, there will be a more enhanced
    runoff concern with potential for localized flash flooding.

    DISCUSSION...A deepening upper-level trough and associated area of
    low pressure lifting up across the northern High Plains will be
    driving a rather impressive heavy rainfall event beginning early
    this morning across central MT. Facilitating this will be the
    evolution of a well-defined TROWAL working in tandem with an
    increasingly focused area of deep layer frontogenesis along with a
    strong mid-level deformation zone. This should yield enhanced
    forcing to help concentrate the heavy rainfall threat in time
    which will also include an increase in rainfall rates.

    Gradually the heavy rainfall axis should tend to become oriented
    in a general south-southwest to north-northeast fashion around the
    northwest flank of the deepening 500/700 mb mid-level low center
    and where frontogenetical forcing will be the strongest. However,
    there is already a fair amount of instability attempting to wrap
    westward around the north side of the deepening low, and there
    will likely be a corridor of elevated convective elements that
    will help drive locally heavier rainfall rates early this morning.

    The 00Z HREF guidance and recent runs of the HRRR suggest as much
    as 2 to 4+ inches of rain may fall through the early morning hours
    (15Z/9AM MDT), with some occasional rainfall rates that may reach
    upwards of 0.75" to 1"/hour with some of the stronger convective
    elements that materialize.

    These rains are expected to gradually drive an areal flood threat,
    which may also include a threat for localized flash flooding
    around any burn scars that receive some of these heavier rainfall
    rates.

    Areas affected...Southeast Florida

    Concerning...Heavy rainfall...Flash flooding possible

    Valid 191833Z - 200000Z

    Summary...Slow moving showers and thunderstorms will expand across
    Southern Florida through the afternoon. Rainfall rates of 2-3"/hr
    are likely, which could result in 2-4" of rain with locally higher
    amounts. This may result in flash flooding, primarily within urban
    areas.

    Discussion...The regional radar mosaic this afternoon depicts a
    slow increase in coverage of reflectivity across the southern and
    central portions of the Florida Peninsula. This coverage is
    increasing thanks to rapid destabilization characterized by 3-hr
    MLCAPE change as high as +1000 J/kg according to the SPC RAP
    analysis, in the presence of PWs around 2.1 inches, or about the
    90th percentile for the date. Into these impressive
    thermodynamics, ascent is occurring in the vicinity of a weakening
    surface boundary draped from near Cape Canaveral to Port
    Charlotte, with additional lift provided through a weak shortwave
    lifting eastward near the Everglades and a sharpening sea breeze
    boundary along the Gold Coast. Storms which have developed so far
    have been pulse thanks to weak shear, but have contained at least
    brief rainfall rates estimated by KAMX to be as high as 2.5"/hr.

    There is good agreement among the various high-res members that
    the coverage of convection will continue to expand the next few
    hours as instability maximizes and the different forcing
    mechanisms continue to impinge on the area. Although bulk shear
    will remain weak to limit much organization, widespread cell
    development, especially as the shortwave lifts northeast, should
    result in numerous outflow boundaries, suggesting disorganized
    clusters through storm mergers and boundary interactions. With the
    anomalous PWs in place, this should result in rainfall rates that
    have a 20-40% chance of exceeding 2"/hr according to the HREF,
    with short-duration rainfall rates potentially reaching 4"/hr as
    suggested by HRRR 15-min rainfall reaching 1" in some areas.

    Mean 850-300mb wind speeds are expected to remain weak at just
    5-10 kts, and Corfidi vectors collapse to 5 kts or less into the
    evening. This indicates slow and chaotic cell motions, especially
    during collisions/mergers, to lengthen residence times of these
    heavy rain rates. The most likely location for any persistent
    rainfall rates will be along the westward advancing sea breeze
    however, as anti-parallel mean flow to this boundary should result
    in regeneration of cells from west to east. This could create
    rainfall amounts of 2-4", with locally higher amounts possible
    across the urban Gold Coast. This will create a 40-60% chance of
    exceeding FFG according to the HREF, and if these intense rates
    linger across any urban areas this afternoon, instances of flash
    flooding could result.

    Areas affected...portions of southern/central Minnesota and
    Wisconsin

    Concerning...Heavy rainfall...Flash flooding possible

    Valid 192228Z - 200428Z

    Summary...Isolated/localized flash flood potential exists through
    the early afternoon as a complex of thunderstorms produce heavy
    rainfall across the discussion area.

    Discussion...Over the past 1-2 hours, progressive convection has
    increased in coverage and evolved into a more organized/focused
    area of cells and linear segments generally extending from near
    LaCrosse to Owatonna (along I-90/US 14). These storms were in a
    moist, unstable warm sector, with 1.5 inch PW values and ~2000
    J/kg MLCAPE values supporting robust updrafts and spots of 1
    inch/hr rain rates. The storms were embedded in fairly strong
    flow aloft (resulting in 40-kt storm motions), but were oriented
    favorably for training especially along the aforementioned I-90/US
    14 corridor. As cells continue to mature in this corridor (while
    migrating east-northeastward into Wisconsin), the expectation is
    that a few areas of rain rates approaching 2 inches/hr could
    materialize and cause isolated/localized flash flood issues
    through at least 03Z tonight.

    The complex will produce these rain rates atop areas of ground
    conditions that exhibit slightly more sensitivity with
    northeastward extent. Soils are more moist in central Wisconsin,
    and FFGs are slightly lower there (1.5 inch/hr thresholds)
    compared to the remainder of the discussion area (closer to 2
    inches/hr). The overall threat of flash flooding is a bit
    conditional on heavier rain rates materializing on sensitive
    soils. This threat should persist through the 03-04Z timeframe.

    Areas affected...a small part of southwestern California

    Concerning...Heavy rainfall...Flash flooding possible

    Valid 192302Z - 200502Z

    Summary...A few slow-moving thunderstorms have developed along
    coastal ranges north of Santa Barbara. Some of these downpours
    were falling on sensitive areas from burn scars, potentially
    promoting excessive runoff. At least a few hours of locally
    enhanced flash flood potential is expected.

    Discussion...Abundant sunshine/destabilization beneath a cold
    upper trough (centered near 34.8N, -121.3W) has fostered scattered
    thunderstorm development near San Luis Obispo/Santa Barbara county
    coastal ranges this afternoon. These storms are very slow moving
    due to weak mid/upper flow beneath the trough. -17C temperatures
    at 500 hPa was promoting areas of 500-1000 J/kg SBCAPE in vicinity
    of the storms. Additionally, despite modest PW values (around 0.8
    inch), easterly low-level flow was promoting focused
    upslope/orogarphic lift against the coastal ranges to promote
    persistent updrafts and slow-moving downpours. Areas of 0.25-0.5
    inch/hr rain rates have been estimated per MRMS so far, with areas
    of rainfall occurring close to sensitive burn scars across the
    discussion area.

    Heavy rainfall/flash flood potential will exist in portions of the
    discussion area through/beyond 05Z per recent model guidance/CAMs.
    The persistence of this heavy rainfall regime is tied to expected
    slow movement of the mid/upper low over the area. Isolated areas
    of 1-1.5 inches are possible in this regime.

    AZ...

    Concerning...Heavy rainfall...Flash flooding possible

    Valid 201945Z - 210130Z

    SUMMARY...Slow moving, back-building cells with rates of 1"/hr may
    pose localized 1-1.5" totals and possible flash flooding
    conditions.

    DISCUSSION...GOES-W and Regional RADAR mosaic have started to
    depict increasing convective activity in both coverage and
    vertical depth with peak heating of the day. The highly
    anomalous, over 3.5 standard anomaly units from climatology, core
    of the closed low is bottoming out across SW California with
    vorticity center at the southern base; this is allowing for an elongation/stretching of the mid-level deformation zone to extend
    across SW to NE San Bernadino county with increased deep layer
    convergence. Given steepening lapse rates with cold air advection
    aloft, surface heating into the 80s is starting to support surface
    based CAPE values from 500-1000 J/kg to develop over the Southern
    California Deserts toward the Colorado River Valley near S Nevada.
    While deep layer moisture is a bit limited with only Tds in the
    upper 40s, low 50s and total PWat values in the .75 to 1" range.=20
    The convergence within the band and orographic ascent confluent
    across the San Bernadino/Little Bernadino/San Jacinto Ranges
    supports stronger vertical development and sufficient moisture
    flux to support .5-1"/hr rates.=20

    Limited cell motions given proximity to the closed low/deformation
    zone will allow for very slow/stationary motion with upstream redevelopment/backbuilding along the deformation band across NE
    CA. Propagation may also allow cells along the mountain ridges
    into the Cochella Valley with time. This may allow for spotty
    .75-1" totals with an isolated 1.5" total remains possible. Given
    naturally low FFG values less than these hourly rates and
    potential; an isolated flash flooding incident or two is
    considered possible across the area through the late
    afternoon/evening hours.=20=20=20

    1227 PM EDT Sat Sep 21 2024

    Areas affected...High Plains of New Mexico into the Panhandles of
    Texas and Oklahoma

    Concerning...Heavy rainfall...Flash flooding possible

    Valid 211630Z - 212230Z

    Summary...Showers and thunderstorms will expand in coverage
    through the afternoon while intensifying to feature rainfall rates
    nearing 1"/hr. Although storms will generally be fast moving,
    repeating rounds could result in 1-3" of rainfall and instances of
    flash flooding.

    Discussion...The GOES-E WV imagery shows an anomalously deep upper
    low moving over northern AZ with impressive downstream lift and
    moisture advecting into the southern High Plains of NM. Within
    this moisture plume, an area of moderate stratiform rain has
    lifted towards the TX Panhandle, while in its wake secondary
    convective development is gradually occurring as reflected by
    increasing glaciation in deepening cells noted via the day-cloud
    phase RGB. Rainfall from the morning precipitation has been as
    much as 0.5 inches measured by local mesonets, wetting the soils
    ahead of what should be increasing convective activity as PWs
    surge to 1.25-1.5 inches, and SBCAPE rises to 1000-2000 J/kg.

    As thermodynamics intensify through the aftn, forcing for ascent
    is also likely to become more impressive. The potent closed low
    and associated trough to the west will gradually push east,
    driving intense downstream divergence coincident with increasing
    upper diffluence over the southern High Plains. At the same time, unidirectional low-level southerly flow will begin to
    isentropically ascend the southward advancing cold front, and the
    overlap of these forcing mechanisms into the elevated
    PW/instability will result in widespread convective development as
    suggested by high-res simulated reflectivity. The HREF
    neighborhood probabilities indicate that rainfall rates have a
    20-40% chance of exceeding 1"/hr in the deeper convection, with
    some storm organization through 40-50 kts of bulk shear helping to
    enhance and lengthen the duration of these rain rates in some
    areas. Although 0-6km mean winds will remain around 30 kts,
    suggesting progressive cell motions, aligned Corfidi vectors
    indicate a strong likelihood for repeating cells which could
    produce 1-3" of rainfall in some areas.

    7-day rainfall for portions of northeast NM into the Panhandles of
    TX and OK has been as much as 400% of normal, leading to locally
    saturated 0-40cm soil moisture above the 95th percentile. While
    the progressive nature of these heavy rain rates should somewhat
    limit the flash flood potential this afternoon, any training or
    repeated rounds could cause impacts, especially atop the most
    saturated soils or across urban areas, sensitive terrain features,
    and burn scars.

    Areas affected...southern CO into northern NM

    Concerning...Heavy rainfall...Flash flooding possible

    Valid 212253Z - 220400Z

    Summary...Localized flash flooding will be possible across
    portions of northern NM into southern CO through 04Z due to the
    potential for multiple rounds of thunderstorms with brief
    training. Rainfall rates of 0.5 to 1 inch in 30-60 minutes will be
    possible along with localized totals of 1-2 inches.

    Discussion...GOES East water vapor imagery showed a closed low
    over northeastern AZ at 2230Z, tracking toward the ENE. Several
    rounds of showers and thunderstorms have developed out ahead of
    the closed low within a diffluent and divergent flow pattern
    aloft. SPC mesoanalysis data from 22Z showed MLCAPE ranged between
    500-1000 J/kg across northern NM but was less than 500 J/kg over
    southern CO. At the surface, an easterly/upslope component to the
    flow was present to the north of a cold front and outflow boundary
    where anomalous precipitable water values remained but were
    beginning to be pushed east ahead of the closed low.

    While instability values are likely near their max given the time
    of day, multiple rounds of thunderstorms will remain possible from
    northeastern NM into southern CO as the closed low continues east,
    each round carrying the potential for short term training with
    possible rainfall rates as high as 0.5 to 1 inch in 30-60 minutes.
    The multiple rounds could contribute to an additional 1-2 inches
    of rain by 04Z, though these higher totals are likely to remain
    highly localized. These storms will pose a localized flash flood
    threat to the region, mainly in/near the Sangre De Cristo
    Mountains and westward into adjacent terrain of north-central NM
    and mainly across sensitive burn scar locations.

    Areas affected...TX Panhandle into adjacent eastern NM/western OK

    Concerning...Heavy rainfall...Flash flooding possible

    Valid 212357Z - 220555Z

    SUMMARY... Repeating and training of cells are expected to pose a
    threat for flash flooding from the TX Panhandle into adjacent
    eastern NM/western OK through 06Z. Rainfall rates of 1-2 in/hr and
    totals of 2-4 inches are expected.

    DISCUSSION...2330Z radar imagery showed a small cluster of
    thunderstorms advancing through the western TX Panhandle, with
    more widely scattered coverage extending westward into eastern NM.
    These cells were forming out ahead of a potent mid-level trough
    over the Four Corners region, which was advancing toward the ENE,
    with favorable shear for organized cells in place over the High
    Plains. While most cells were moving toward the NE at 25-35 kt,
    some deviant rightward motion of organized cells has been observed
    and instances of training have supported MRMS-derived rainfall
    rates of about 1-2 in/hr. Surface observations showed an effective
    cold front (outflow boundary enhancement) extended southwestward
    through northwestern OK into the TX Panhandle, and then
    west-northwestward into NM. A pool of 1000 to 2000+ J/kg MLCAPE
    was estimated via the 23Z SPC mesoanalysis from just south of AMA
    into eastern NM along with anomalous precipitable water values
    that ranged from 1.3 to 1.7 inches.

    A strengthening low level jet is forecast with 25 to 35+ kt
    through 06Z at 850 mb, which will act to overrun the southward
    sinking effective cold front. Moisture pooling and elevated
    instability of up to 1500 J/kg is forecast by the RAP to focus
    over the TX Panhandle north of the boundary, with weaker values of
    up to 500 into western OK. After the initial round of
    thunderstorms advances east from the western TX Panhandle,
    subsequent rounds are anticipated as the low level jet ramps up
    overnight, leading to instances of repeating and training due to
    the similar boundary orientation and anticipated storm motions.
    Rainfall rates should generally fall in the 1-2 in/hr range and
    total rainfall of 2-4 inches through 06Z may lead to some areas of
    flash flooding, though dry antecedent conditions may limit flash
    flooding to urban areas or otherwise flashy locations across the
    region.

    Areas affected...Mid-MO Valley into southern IA/northern MO

    Concerning...Heavy rainfall...Flash flooding possible

    Valid 220153Z - 220700Z

    SUMMARY...Brief training of 1 to 3 in/hr rainfall rates may
    support localized flash flooding across portions of the MO River
    Valley into southern IA/northern MO through 07Z.

    DISCUSSION...0145Z radar imagery showed an expanding line segment
    of strong to severe convection extending from southeastern NE into
    far northwestern MO and southwestern IA. Additional convection was
    noted to be racing eastward across eastern KS. These storms were
    located just ahead of a wavy cold front and ahead of a low to
    mid-level vorticity max in northeastern KS, observed on KTWX radar
    imagery, advancing toward the northeast. A small ribbon of
    instability was in place ahead of the cold front with 1000 to
    2000+ J/kg MLCAPE and PWATs between 1.8 and 2.0 inches via the 01Z
    SPC mesoanalysis.

    Through 08Z, the cold front and instability are forecast to
    continue advancing south and east while forcing ahead of the
    northeastern KS vorticity max aids in lift with additional
    thunderstorms likely to fill in across the MO/IA border. There
    will be an overall progressive movement to individual cells and
    instability should trend downward with time, but
    repeating/training will also occur at times allowing for 1 to 2,
    perhaps as high as 3 in/hr rainfall rates to occur. These high
    rates could lead to short term rainfall totals of 3-4 inches in an
    isolated location or two. While dry antecedent conditions will
    likely limit the coverage of flash flooding, one cannot rule out
    urban or otherwise sensitive terrain being impacted by rapid rises
    of water.

    Areas affected...central/eastern Pennsylvania, north/northeastern
    Maryland, northern Delaware

    Concerning...Heavy rainfall...Flash flooding possible

    Valid 220318Z - 220718Z

    Summary...A cluster of deep convection over central Pennsylvania
    was producing spots of rainfall rates approaching 2 inches/hr.=20
    Isolated flash flood potential will exist with this activity as
    storms migrate toward the southeastern Pennsylvania/northeastern
    Maryland border region through 06-07Z.

    Discussion...A vigorous shortwave trough over Pennsylvania has
    helped to force a relatively fast-moving convective complex that
    currently extends from near Williamsport to State College. Ahead
    of this complex, cells have developed within a warm/moist axis
    characterized by ~1000 J/kg MLCAPE and 1-1.5 inch PW values -
    highest near Chesapeake Bay. The cells ahead of the linear
    complex were moving considerably slower (around 5-10 mph),
    allowing for several cell mergers and prolonged rainfall, with
    rates approaching 1.5-2 inches/hr at times generally from
    Williamsport to Harrisburg.

    Both models/observations and objective analyses indicate potential
    for the southward-moving convective complex to continue for a few
    hours, potentially reaching the MD/PA border region through 0530Z
    and the I-95 corridor thereafter. The combination of cells and
    linear convective structures suggests potential for at least an
    isolated flash flood risk to persist with this activity during
    that timeframe - especially near cell mergers and slower-moving
    storms. FFG thresholds in much of the region are in the 2.5
    inch/hr range, suggesting that the best risk of excessive runoff
    should remain 1) isolated and 2) tied to low/sensitive spots and
    urbanized land surfaces.

    Areas affected...Southwest to Central East OK...Southeast TX
    Panhandle...

    Concerning...Heavy rainfall...Flash flooding possible

    Valid 221700Z - 222200Z

    SUMMARY...Slow moving, back-building cells with rates of 1"/hr may
    pose localized 1-1.5" totals and possible flash flooding
    conditions.

    DISCUSSION...GOES-W and Regional RADAR mosaic have started to
    depict increasing convective activity in both coverage and
    vertical depth with peak heating of the day. The highly
    anomalous, over 3.5 standard anomaly units from climatology, core
    of the closed low is bottoming out across SW California with
    vorticity center at the southern base; this is allowing for an elongation/stretching of the mid-level deformation zone to extend
    across SW to NE San Bernadino county with increased deep layer
    convergence. Given steepening lapse rates with cold air advection
    aloft, surface heating into the 80s is starting to support surface
    based CAPE values from 500-1000 J/kg to develop over the Southern
    California Deserts toward the Colorado River Valley near S Nevada.
    While deep layer moisture is a bit limited with only Tds in the
    upper 40s, low 50s and total PWat values in the .75 to 1" range.=20
    The convergence within the band and orographic ascent confluent
    across the San Bernadino/Little Bernadino/San Jacinto Ranges
    supports stronger vertical development and sufficient moisture
    flux to support .5-1"/hr rates.=20

    Limited cell motions given proximity to the closed low/deformation
    zone will allow for very slow/stationary motion with upstream redevelopment/backbuilding along the deformation band across NE
    CA. Propagation may also allow cells along the mountain ridges
    into the Cochella Valley with time. This may allow for spotty
    .75-1" totals with an isolated 1.5" total remains possible. Given
    naturally low FFG values less than these hourly rates and
    potential; an isolated flash flooding incident or two is
    considered possible across the area through the late
    afternoon/evening hours.=20=20=20

    Corrected for Resend of Text

    Areas affected...Southwest to Central East OK...Southeast TX
    Panhandle...

    Concerning...Heavy rainfall...Flash flooding possible

    Valid 221700Z - 222200Z

    SUMMARY...Potential for elevated training cells with rates slowly
    increasing as cells approach surface front and deep moisture flux
    inflow. Isolated rates up to 2"/hr and totals of 2-3" may result
    in localized flash flooding particularly near urban or hard/baked
    ground conditions.

    DISCUSSION...16z surface analysis depicts a stationary front from
    TQH at the the southward sagging cold front across the MOKSAROK
    across to SRE to OUN to FSI and a low near FDR before becoming a
    bit less defined across NW Texas into deeper low level status.=20=20
    This stratus is banked in west of the surface low, but also within
    the best isentropic ascent from return Gulf moisture along the low
    level jet. Upper-level jet is sliding east and as such, the
    mid-levels quickly veering across 850-700mb resulting in
    convergent flow aloft of the Eastern Cap Rock into SW OK. Modest
    500-1000 J/kg of MUCAPE and the FGEN forcing has been breaking out
    convection for the last few hours with increasing coverage across
    TX. Total moisture values through this eastward angling moisture
    plume are fairly solid at at 1.5-2 standard anomaly units above
    average between 1.5-1.75", but slowly climbing with the addition
    of the return Gulf moisture and increasing confluence into the
    mid-levels. As such, rainfall rates are slowly increasing from
    1-1.5"/hr into an increasingly favorable steering flow allowing
    for training elements over the next few hours.=20=20

    Recent drought conditions resulting in very high FFG values are
    likely still too high for these rates (with exception of central
    Cap Rock where values are more approachable); however, as the
    cells move eastward, the proximity to the surface front reduces
    and bases are lowering and trying to root more toward the surface.
    This is allowing for increased moisture flux into the updrafts
    with Tds in the upper 60s. As a result, rainfall rates are
    starting to increase to around 2"/hr with some occasional as well
    a approaching increased urbanization. While 1hr FFG values are
    still above 2.5"; the prolonged drought may have further hardened
    the upper ground surface making infiltration even more difficult
    and so may be over-estimating FFG. While, not likely to be large
    scale or significant in magnitude, isolated flash flooding is
    considered possible over the early afternoon hours across the repeating/training corridor particularly near urban centers.

    Areas affected...Big Bend into northwestern TX

    Concerning...Heavy rainfall...Flash flooding possible

    Valid 222107Z - 230215Z

    Summary...Increasing flash flood potential will setup across
    portions of Big Bend into the Permian Basin and northwestern TX
    through 02Z. Rainfall rates of 1-2 in/hr, but locally in excess of
    2 in/hr, are expected to lead to a couple of 3-4" totals.

    Discussion...Surface observations from 21Z and visible satellite
    imagery helped place a cold front across western TX, with an
    attached surface low just south of a MAF to BPG line. Convective
    development was increasing along the portion of the front
    extending northeast of the surface low, while development near the
    weaker cold frontal segment to the southwest of the low was
    isolated. 20Z SPC mesoanalysis data showed plenty of instability
    in place south of the front with 1000 to near 3000 J/kg MLCAPE
    (highest near Rio Grande) along with 1.4 to 1.8 inches of
    precipitable water.

    Lift across the region was occurring ahead of an advancing
    positively tilted upper trough axis extending from the central
    High Plains into the Desert Southwest and the right entrance
    region of an associated 70-90 kt jet max near 250 mb. Short term
    model forecasts show the front continuing to advance gradually off
    toward the southeast over the next 3-6 hours into weak
    southeasterly low level winds. Surface convergence and forcing
    aloft, coupled with the available instability, should be enough to
    support increasing convective coverage throughout the remainder of
    the afternoon and through the evening, especially between I-10 and
    I-20 where mean steering flow will be roughly parallel to the
    front, allowing for repeating and merging of cells along with
    rainfall rates of 1-2 in/hr (locally in excess of 2 in/hr
    possible).

    Farther south, coverage of convection may remain more isolated,
    especially in the vicinity of Big Bend N.P. where forcing is
    weaker and some pockets of weak inhibition likely remain. However,
    speed shear profiles will support some organized, possibly slower
    moving, cells. The potential for merging cells will also exist
    farther south, but this is conditional on higher coverage
    occurring closer to Big Bend. Despite dry antecedent conditions
    over roughly the past 3 weeks, at least isolated flash flood
    potential will exist across northwestern TX into the Big Bend
    region where a couple of 3-4" totals may occur.

    Areas affected...eastern KY/TN into the central/southern
    Appalachians

    Concerning...Heavy rainfall...Flash flooding possible

    Valid 232103Z - 240215Z

    Summary...Isolated flash flooding will be possible across portions
    of eastern KY/TN into the central/southern Appalachians. Rainfall
    rates of 1-2 in/hr will be possible where brief training of cells
    occurs.

    Discussion...2045Z visible satellite and regional radar imagery
    showed scattered thunderstorms ongoing from portions of central
    KY/northern TN into the central/southern Appalachians. A recent
    increase in the coverage of storms appears to be driven by daytime
    heating and increased ascent ahead of an elongated vorticity
    maximum observed on water vapor imagery from western TN into
    northern MS. SPC mesoanalysis data from 20Z showed 1000-2000 J/kg
    MLCAPE and weakly anomalous precipitable water values of 1.5 to
    1.9 inches across the region. The ongoing cells were moving with
    the deeper layer mean wind of 15-25 kt in a general eastward
    fashion.

    There is some concern that as the vorticity max over TN/MS
    continues to advance toward the northeast, increased forcing ahead
    of this feature will act on instability already in place to
    support greater coverage of cells heading through the remainder of
    the evening, increasing the potential for areas of brief training
    that could support locally higher rainfall rates of 1-2 in/hr.
    While this threat is expected to remain low, areas of low FFG
    exist ever portions of eastern KY/TN into the Appalachians with 1
    to 2 inches in an hour.

    Outside of terrain, no significant boundaries were analyzed that
    are expected to have an impact on cell placement and the
    expectation moving forward is that cells will continue to remain
    somewhat disorganized and multicellular in nature, although
    increasing shear from the west may support some more organized
    cells. However, beyond ~02Z, the expectation is that diminishing
    instability with the loss of daytime heating will contribute to a
    reduction in storm coverage and a lowering of the flash flood
    threat.

    Areas affected...southeastern MO/northeastern AR into Mid-MS
    Valley

    Concerning...Heavy rainfall...Flash flooding possible

    Valid 232312Z - 240510Z

    SUMMARY... The potential for SW to NE training of heavy rain will
    increase overnight from the eastern AR/MO border region into the
    and across the MS River. Rainfall rates of 1-2 in/hr are expected
    with totals of 2 to 4 possible on a localized basis.

    DISCUSSION...Fading visible satellite imagery at 23Z and regional
    radar imagery showed a recent increase in the intensity of
    thunderstorms over northern AR into MO, especially with a small
    line segment located between STL and UNO. Additionally, a
    northeastward tracking mesolow was observed in northern AR,
    co-located with a small area of showers to its north. The regional
    uptick in convection was occurring ahead of an upper level
    vorticity max over western MO seen on water vapor imagery,
    tracking ENE. At the surface, a low was located about 75 miles
    southwest of STL with a stationary front extending eastward into
    southern KY and cold front extending southward from the low into
    west-central AR. Earlier clearing on visible imagery ahead of the
    cold front from northeastern AR into southeastern MO had allowed
    for greater coverage of 500-1500 J/kg MLCAPE located in the warm
    sector over southeastern MO via SPC mesoanalysis data. Moisture
    via area GPS observations and mesoanalysis data revealed values of
    1.5 to 1.8 inches throughout the Mid-MS Valley.

    As the upstream vorticity max/trough axis continue to move east
    overnight, thunderstorm coverage is expected to expand across
    southeastern MO/northeastern AR into southern IL, especially for
    locations near/north of the stationary front. Some modest increase
    in 850 mb flow is expected beyond 00Z ahead of the trough with
    greater coverage of 20-25 kt southwesterlies forecast through 04Z
    by the latest RAP which should lead to greater isentropic ascent
    from the MO/IL border into southern IL and western portions of KY.
    Due to unidirectional southwesterly flow ahead of the cold front,
    instances of southwest to northeast training will be favored as
    the general precipitation axis advances toward the east, ahead of
    the upstream upper vort/trough axis. Rainfall rates of 1-2 in/hr
    and localized maxima of 2 to 4 inches will be possible

    Areas affected...southern Illinois, southern Indiana, northern
    Kentucky

    Concerning...Heavy rainfall...Flash flooding possible

    Valid 240324Z - 240924Z

    Summary...A cluster of thunderstorms was intensifying over
    southwestern Illinois and will move eastward across the discussion
    area over the next 6 hours. Isolated instances of flash flooding
    are possible with this activity.

    Discussion...Recent radar/satellite imagery depicts expanding
    convective coverage along an axis extending from near Mount
    Vernon, IL southwestward through Cape Girardeau, MO. These storms
    were loosely organized, with a number of cell mergers across
    south-central Illinois and a limited amount of training closer to
    Cape Girardeau. The storms were being forced by 1) a strong
    mid-level wave just east of St. Louis and 2) sufficient
    moisture/instability (~1000 J/kg MLCAPE and 1.7 inch PW values)
    for strong updrafts and efficient rainfall. Recent MRMS imagery
    depicts a gradual increase in coverage of 1-1.5 inch/hr rainfall
    rates that were beginning to approach one-hour FFG thresholds
    across southern Illinois.

    Models/objective guidance suggests that these trends will continue
    with eastward extent toward southern Indiana and northern Kentucky
    over the next 3-6 hours. Storms should reach southwestern Indiana
    and vicinity around 0530Z. The loosely organized nature of the
    storms (with occasional development but downstream and southwest
    of the majority of ongoing convection) should continue to allow
    for occasional cell mergers/training and spots of 1-2 inch/hr rain
    rates at times. These rates should fall on ground conditions
    characterized by 1.5-2.5 inch/hr FFG thresholds, and the spotty
    nature of the heavier rain rates suggest isolated flash flood
    potential especially in low spots and urbanized areas.=20

    Areas affected...Southern to South-central Appalachians...

    Concerning...Heavy rainfall...Flash flooding possible

    Valid 241735Z - 242300Z

    SUMMARY...Scattered cells ahead of main convective lines may
    pre-soak rugged areas with spot of 1-2.5" resulting in scattered
    possible flash flooding.

    DISCUSSION...GOES-E visible imagery shows a fairly clear skies
    over the Appalachians across S WV/SW VA into E TN/W NC and far
    upstate SC. Temperatures have risen to upper 70s/low 80s with
    well above average low level moisture having filtered through the
    range with Tds in the mid to upper 60s. As such, the area has
    become fairly unstable with 1250-1750 J/kg of MLCAPE. Solid
    25-40kts of southwesterly 850-700mb flow has been advecting
    increasing moisture through the lowest levels to further moisten
    the lower column with total moisture reaching 1.5" even into the
    higher slopes with some suggestion of 1.7" starting to reach
    eastern TN through the Cumberland Plateau.

    While main northern stream trough remains well west over the
    Midwest digging into the Tri-Rivers area of W KY, a subtle
    southern stream wave can be seen sliding through E TN moving
    generally parallel to the slopes. This forcing combined with
    low-level convergence from approaching pre-frontal convective line
    out of KY, is starting to spark increasing TCu and incipient CBs
    across the clearer skies downstream. More mature cells along the
    pre-frontal trough as well as very near the shortwave lifting
    north will likely continue to enhance with cells capable of
    1.25-1.75"/hr rates. While cell motions will likely limit overall
    totals to about 30-60 minutes, it is the pre-cursory cells that
    given solid instability and updraft strength may be capable of a
    similar 1-2"/hr total prior to the main forcing lines that may
    result in spots of 1.5-2.5" totals over a 3 hour period as they
    repeat or at time merge with the cells in the effective warm
    sector ahead of the line.=20

    Hydrologically, the rugged area has naturally lower FFG values at
    1-1.5"/hr and 1-2"/3hr which suggest either slower moving
    pre-cursory cells or the stronger forced lines will have a solid
    potential of being exceeded. The scattered and transitory nature
    is likely to result in localized scattered incidents of flash
    flooding given 1.5-2.5" totals through 00z.=20=20=20=20=20=20

    Areas affected...Middle Tennessee, Central/Eastern Kentucky, into
    southern Ohio

    Concerning...Heavy rainfall...Flash flooding possible

    Valid 241904Z - 250104Z

    SUMMARY...Scattered thunderstorm clusters ahead of cold front may
    bring 1.5-2.5" resulting in isolated flash flooding into this
    evening.

    DISCUSSION...Regional NEXRAD and GOES-E IR imagery shows a few
    thunderstorm clusters have developed over middle TN and central KY
    which is ahead of a cold front. Recent rainfall estimates of
    1.5"/hr are seen south of Cincinnati and north of Nashville.
    Sufficient moisture of 1.6 to 1.7" PW and instability with MLCAPE
    1500-2000 J/kg are allowing this heavy development. SWly low level
    flow, which is parallel to the advancing cold front, is 25-30kt
    which will keep a repeating thunderstorm threat into the evening
    and slow eastward progression despite relatively quick storm
    motions in 45kt mean layer steering flow.

    There are more flash-flood susceptible areas in the outlook
    including south central KY where 2-3" fell overnight, urban areas
    such as the ones mentioned above, and over northern KY where 3hr
    FFG is around 1". This scattered activity will continue to produce
    1-2" in a couple hours with localized amounts of 3" possible into
    the evening. Should these higher totals fall on the more
    susceptible areas, flash flooding is possible. Overall the flash
    flooding is more of an isolated threat.

    Areas affected...Southwestern Virginia and West-Central North
    Carolina into Upstate South Carolina

    Concerning...Heavy rainfall...Flash flooding likely

    Valid 242227Z - 250415Z

    SUMMARY...Increasing coverage of thunderstorms focusing over a
    stationary front near the NC/VA border brings the risk for quick 2
    to 4" rainfall and scattered flash flooding into this overnight.

    DISCUSSION...Thunderstorms, some of which are supercells, will
    continue to develop in a warm sector in southwest VA and western
    NC and further develop as they cross a stationary front/cold air
    damming wedge and into south-central VA and central NC. Recent
    rainfall estimates of 2.5"/hr are near Martinsburg, VA which is
    just beyond the stationary front. High moisture (PW 1.8 to 2.0")
    and instability (MLCAPE 1500 to 2500 J/kg) are allowing this heavy
    development in the warm sector which convergence and a sharp
    downward gradient over the front slowing activity that crosses it.
    SWly low level flow is 15 to 20 kt which will keep
    moisture/instability advection over the front and allow further
    development.

    Confidence has increased in the flash flood potential along the
    front with recent HRRRs/18Z NAMnest all featuring QPF of 2 to 4"=20
    before midnight along the west-central NC/VA border and into
    south-central VA. Stability well into the cold sector behind the
    front should continue to limit the progression of activity to a
    couple counties into south-central VA with ongoing activity
    expected west of the Blue Ridge to the Alleghenies of VA. Further
    development is likely down the eastern side of the Appalachians
    tonight, so the outlook area include western NC into Upstate SC
    given earlier heavy activity there today. Previous flooding in the Raleigh-Durham Triangle makes them vulnerable and the presence of
    the front through there should allow for further flooding
    concerns. All to say flash flooding is likely through this evening
    near the frontal zone and better characterized as possible farther
    south over western NC into SC.

    Areas affected...South-Central Appalachians

    Concerning...Heavy rainfall...Flash flooding possible

    Valid 242311Z - 250500Z

    SUMMARY...Threat for further thunderstorm development overnight
    ahead of cold front may bring additional 2 to 3" resulting in
    isolated flash flooding overnight.

    DISCUSSION...Scattered supercells have developed east of the
    pre-frontal convection over east-central KY and middle TN in the
    broad warm sector west of the crest of the south-central
    Appalachians. Recent rainfall estimates from KJKL are up to
    1.5"/hr over far eastern KY. Sufficient moisture of 1.5 to 1.6" PW
    and instability with MLCAPE 1000 to 1500 J/kg will continue to
    allow redevelopment of activity this heavy. There are further
    threats for flash flooding as the main pre-frontal convection
    comes through later this evening along with topographical lift
    from the western slopes of the south-central Apps. Deviant motion
    has been noted from left-moving super cells, so cell mergers and
    local upwind propagation will continue to be where the greatest
    flash flood threat is into the overnight.

    This area has rather low FFG, generally 1 to 1.5"/hr and around
    2"/3hr. So overlap from ongoing activity and the next round
    further raises the potential for flash flooding. Recent HRRR runs
    have indicated generally 1 to 2" from both rounds, which helps
    point to an isolated flash flood threat overnight.

    Areas affected...much of North Carolina, upstate South Carolina,
    and a small part of southern/southeastern Virginia

    Concerning...Heavy rainfall...Flash flooding possible

    Valid 250429Z - 251029Z

    Summary...Continued rounds of thunderstorms are expected to
    repeat/train across the discussion area through 08-09Z/4-5am
    Eastern. Rain rates exceeding 2 inches/hour at times are expected
    to result in at least localized flash flood concerns.

    Discussion...Over the last 2-3 hours, thunderstorms have focused
    along an axis extending from far northwestern South Carolina (near
    Spartanburg) east-northeastward through Raleigh/Durham and on to
    Roanoke Rapids. These storms were oriented parallel to
    west-southwesterly steering flow aloft, allowing for spots of
    localized training along the aforementioned axis. Additionally,
    enhanced low-level flow (around 25 knots across the Piedmont) were
    aiding in persistent low-level convergence along the axis while
    also maintaining 1000-1500 J/kg MLCAPE and 1.5-2 inch PW values
    within the pre-convective environment. These factors are
    continuing to support areas of 1-2 inch/hr rain rates at times
    that were threatening local FFG thresholds across the region
    (generally in the 1.5-2 inch/hr range - lowest in western and
    central North Carolina). This regime is expected to persist, with
    at least isolated flash flood potential materializing across the
    discussion area. A few spots of 4 inch rainfall totals are
    possible through 10Z. Some concern exists that the Raleigh/Durham
    area could experience heavier rain rates and urbanized flash flood
    potential overnight. Additional concerns exist across areas that
    have received 1-3 inch rainfall totals over the past 6 hours,
    where wet soils are likely to contribute to a greater risk for
    excessive runoff (especially in south-central/southeastern
    Virginia and central North Carolina).

    Moisture/instability profiles support redevelopment north of the
    primary convective axis (across northwestern North
    Carolina/southwestern Virginia) as well. Thunderstorms are
    expected to be a bit less focused in these areas (with lower
    potential for training/repeating). Isolated instances of flash
    flooding are still possible in this regime, however, especially
    where 1.5 inch/hr rain rates can materialize over sensitive/low
    spots.

    257 AM EDT Wed Sep 25 2024

    Areas affected...eastern Kentucky, western Virginia, and
    northeastern Tennessee

    Concerning...Heavy rainfall...Flash flooding possible

    Valid 250656Z - 251256Z

    Summary...Scattered showers and isolated thunderstorms continue to
    migrate northeastward across the southern/central Appalachians,
    where wet soils have left ground conditions vulnerable to
    excessive runoff. Isolated instances of flash flooding are
    possible through early morning (12Z/8am Eastern).

    Discussion...Ascent/difluence aloft associated with longwave
    troughing across the central U.S. continues to support persistent,
    but scattered thunderstorm activity across the discussion area.=20
    The convection continues to persist in a marginally unstable
    environment (~500 J/kg MLCAPE) although with sufficient moisture
    (1.5 inch PW) for heavier rainfall to materialize in a few of the
    cells. Modest low-level forcing/focus was allowing for convective
    bands to migrate northeastward amid appreciable steering flow
    (around 35 knots), with localized backbuilding/training and
    favorable orientation of the bands (to flow aloft) allowing for
    prolonged rainfall and spots of 1 inch/hr rain rates at times.=20
    FFG thresholds in the region were generally around an inch or
    less, and convection was occasionally exceeding those thresholds,
    suggesting isolated/sporadic flash flood potential in the short
    term.

    Models/observations suggest that the overall scenario supporting
    isolated flash flood potential should remain in place through the
    early morning hours (12Z or so). Scattered convection should
    continue to initially deepen across eastern Tennessee and migrate
    northeastward atop areas of wet soils and hilly terrain, with
    occasional and sporadic instances of flash flood guidance
    exceedance. Convective coverage and limited instability are
    mitigating factors for a larger-scale flash flood threat, though a
    few instances of flash flooding cannot be ruled out.

    Areas affected...Southern Appalachians

    Concerning...Heavy rainfall...Flash flooding likely

    Valid 251500Z - 252100Z

    SUMMARY...Flash flooding will be possible this afternoon as the
    Predecessor Rain Event (PRE) begins from northeast Alabama through
    the Southern Appalachians

    DISCUSSION...The well-advertised PRE has begin to take shape
    across portions of the Southeast this morning. Storms have
    developed in a cluster across eastern Alabama with another one
    over eastern Tennessee. FFGs in the area are high...generally
    around 2.5 inches in 1 hour for Alabama and Georgia, but they are
    much lower in eastern Tennessee around Knoxville.

    An upper level low across far western Tennessee is drawing
    increasing moisture northwestward across Georgia into this zone
    where the storms are forming. Upper level jet stream winds are
    expected to approach 100 kts, which will increase the upper level
    divergence over the storms in the right entrance region, thus
    further enhancing the lift.

    Through mid-afternoon, CAMs guidance suggests additional line
    segments of storms will develop generally aligned SSW to NNE
    across the area. Embedded cells within the lines, as now, will
    track NNE, roughly parallel to the lines. The result will be some
    areas seeing multiple rounds of training thunderstorms, each
    capable of producing rainfall rates to 2.5 inches per hour...with
    those heaviest rates more likely once the storms move more into
    Georgia later this afternoon. Further, since the storms will be
    moving roughly parallel to the lines, the lines' forward speed to
    the east will be slow, allowing for multiple cells repeating over
    the same areas. Even now with pockets of 2 inch per hour rates
    associated with the strongest storms, the training nature of the
    storms will result in multiple rounds over potentially flood-prone
    and urban areas. Thus, even where FFG values are higher, the
    repeating nature of the storms will locally lower values as
    repeated storms move overhead.

    Areas affected...North Georgia

    Concerning...Heavy rainfall...Flash flooding likely

    Valid 251700Z - 252100Z

    SUMMARY...Slow-moving and training thunderstorms associated with
    the developing predecessor rain event (PRE) are likely to cause an
    urban flash flooding threat as they approach Atlanta.

    DISCUSSION...A line of slow-moving and training thunderstorms has
    developed west of Atlanta this afternoon. The storms are making
    their way into the metro area. The storms have a history of
    producing rainfall rates up to 2.5 inches per hour across far
    northwestern Georgia.

    As the storms move into Atlanta within the next hour, potential
    for training as well as locally heavy rain with any stronger storm
    cores will likely cause flash flooding in the streams and creeks
    around the city that are most prone to flooding due to heavy rain.

    Beyond the initial round of heavy rain, backbuilding storms as
    well as new development south of town will likely result in a
    long-duration rain event where steady light to moderate rain may
    continue across the city through the afternoon.

    East of town the flash flooding threat through the afternoon will
    be significantly lower, as higher FFGs in the rural areas should
    mean much more rainfall will be needed before significant flash
    flooding occurs. However, given the increasing moisture out ahead
    of Helene, slow moving storms, and most importantly, training of
    the storms...even outside of town flash flooding will be possible
    through the afternoon.

    The much greater threat for flooding area-wide is expected to be
    later tonight as stronger easterly flow associated with the
    approach of Helene slows any eastward-moving storms significantly.

    Areas affected...Southern Alabama into Western Georgia

    Concerning...Heavy rainfall...Flash flooding possible

    Valid 251759Z - 252359Z

    SUMMARY...Slow-moving bands of heavy thunderstorms in a plume of
    tropical moisture ahead of Helene will continue to produce areas
    of 2.5" hourly rainfall and the potential for 4" rest of the
    afternoon.

    DISCUSSION...Clusters of slow-moving heavy thunderstorm bands
    oriented SSW to NNE over southern/eastern AL will continue to
    converge and shift north over the next hour or so, then likely
    drift east into western Georgia rest of the afternoon. Hourly
    rainfall of 2.5"/hr has been estimated from both KMXX and KEOX
    over Butler Co AL. While 1hr FFG exceeds 3" there, lower FFG near
    2"/hr is in the Montgomery metro area as points east where an inch
    of rain fell overnight.

    This activity is on leading edge of the core of Helene-sourced
    moisture with PW of 2" just now entering southeast AL. A tongue of
    2.25" PW will shift up the AL/GA border by 00Z on 15 to 20kt
    southerly flow, further increasing the risk for extreme rainfall
    trough tonight.

    Guidance has generally underdone the coverage of activity though
    recent HRRRs are decent. Through 00Z, areas of 2-4" are likely.
    However, this area has been in drought, so FFG will only be
    exceeded in the most extreme rates and potentially in more
    sensitive urban areas like Montgomery, so flash flooding through
    the afternoon is considered possible.

    This event alone is the drought breaker for much of southeast AL,
    but unfortunately this area will continue to receive extreme
    rainfall at times now through the passage of Helene Thursday
    night. Further updates on this situation can be expected this
    evening and Helene in general at hurricanes dot gov.

    Areas affected...Western Slopes of South-Central Appalachians

    Concerning...Heavy rainfall...Flash flooding possible

    Valid 251841Z - 260041Z

    SUMMARY...Localized flash flooding into this evening as the
    Predecessor Rain Event (PRE) expands north west of the
    south-central Appalachian crest.

    DISCUSSION...Two north-south corridors of locally heavy rain have
    developed west of the crest of the Appalachians over eastern
    KY/southern OH and over far southeast VA into central WV.
    Localized rates of 1.25"/hr have been estimated recently south and
    east of KJKL. This heavy rain is currently moving out of an area
    in far southwest VA that received 3"+ over the past day.

    An upper level low centered over the western tip of Kentucky is
    drawing Gulf moisture on southwesterly low level flow around 10kt
    which is why activity has been on the west side of the Appalachian
    Crest thus far. Instability is somewhat limited with MLCAPE around
    500 J/kg. However broad scale lift east of the developing low will
    continue to overcome the lower instability.=20

    Through the rest of the afternoon expect embedded cells of heavier
    rain to continue lifting north with localized areas exceeding
    1"/hr rainfall with potential for 2-3" in some pockets through
    00Z. FFG is low in places, around 1"/3hrs where the heaviest rain
    fell in far southwest VA and generally 1.5"/3hr elsewhere. Given
    the lack of prolonged higher rates, flash flooding is considered
    possible with an isolated coverage.

    An intense moisture plume from Helene will shift up the southern
    Appalachians overnight which will shift the heavy rainfall focus
    to the eastern side of the southern Appalachian crest, so please
    stay tuned for further heavy rainfall updates.

    Areas affected...North Georgia and the Southern Appalachians

    Concerning...Heavy rainfall...Flash flooding likely

    Valid 252013Z - 260200Z

    SUMMARY...Training thunderstorms will continue to lift over the
    Atlanta Metro area rest of this afternoon and over the eastern
    side of the southern Appalachians through tonight. Flash flooding
    is likely, particularly in Appalachian terrain, through this
    evening before becoming considerable to catastrophic overnight.

    DISCUSSION...Convergence of the tropical plume of moisture ahead
    of Helene and a cold front over southern Alabama has allowed a
    particularly heavy line of slow-moving and training thunderstorms
    to develop over southeast AL into western GA. This northward shift
    in moisture is driven by an upper low centered over far western
    KY. Recent rainfall estimates of 2 to 3" per hour are from KFFC
    and KMXX over eastern AL/western GA. The heaviest rain thus far
    has stayed south of the Atlanta metro and outflow is seen on KFFC
    which indicates the main threat for now to be avoiding that
    particular area.

    However, the tropical moisture plume with PW of 2 to 2.25" will
    shift up the AL/GA border rest of the afternoon, pushing moisture
    and instability back over the Atlanta metro and then up the
    eastern side of the southern Appalachians through this evening.
    Terrain enhanced rainfall there will quickly fill in a gap of
    rainfall over the past day that in western NC (surrounding
    Asheville). Rates of 2"/hr is likely by this evening which would
    exceed the FFG of 1.5-2"/hr. Flash flooding is likely through 02Z.
    The 18Z HRRR depiction of 2-4" in terrain over western NC and
    northeast GA is reasonable, but around 1" additional seems low for north-central GA and the Atlanta metro with a few additional
    inches possible.

    The much greater threat for flooding area-wide is expected to be
    later tonight as even stronger southeasterly flow associated with
    the approach of Helene pushes ever greater moisture into the same
    eastern slopes of the southern Appalachians with potentially
    catastrophic flash flooding overnight.

    Areas affected...Florida Panhandle into Central Georgia

    Concerning...Heavy rainfall...Flash flooding likely

    Valid 252245Z - 260445Z

    SUMMARY...Particularly heavy rain is expected in southwest Georgia
    into the Florida Panhandle this evening due to convergence of
    pre-frontal activity from the west and the outermost banding of
    Helene from the south. Flash flooding is likely despite dry
    preconditions due to extreme rainfall rates of 3" per hour.

    DISCUSSION...Heavy and locally excessive pre-frontal activity over
    southeast AL and west-central GA is shifting east on outflow while
    the outermost bands of Helene have been tracking north over the FL
    Peninsula. Convergence of these two areas is progged this evening
    over southwest Georgia into the FL Big Bend/eastern Panhandle.
    This outer band is on the leading edge of particularly high
    moisture, lining up with the 2.2" PW contour from recent RAP
    analysis with PW climbing to 2.4" farther down the Peninsula which
    is 2.5 sigma over normal. Sufficient instability is present with
    MLCAPE of 1000 to 1500 J/kg.

    Recent HRRR runs have been under realizing rainfall rates which
    are estimated from KTLH and KVAX over Thomas County, GA. However,
    the timing in recent HRRRs has been decent with the main
    convergence over southwest GA occurring between 00Z and 02Z. There
    is a risk for 2 to 5" rainfall through the rest of the evening
    which is only a little above the high 3hr FFG of 4 to 5" due to a
    lack of rain in this part of GA yet. However, these extreme rates
    from slow moving and merging cells warrants likely wording for
    this discussion.

    A trough extending southwest from western GA extends over the FL
    Panhandle and should provide a focus for some additional heavy
    rain, so the discussion area is extended west about halfway
    through the Panhandle. As of now the area west of Apalachee Bay
    which received heavy rain earlier today appears to be south of the
    main heavy rain risk area, but given this coast is in the main
    Helene moisture plume there is at least a localized excessive
    rainfall risk there.

    Further banding from Helene approaches this area overnight, so
    expect further MPDs tonight and through the passage of Helene
    Thursday night.

    Areas affected...Southern Virginia into West Virginia

    Concerning...Heavy rainfall...Flash flooding possible

    Valid 260009Z - 260600Z

    SUMMARY...Localized flash flooding into the overnight as moisture
    ahead of Helene streams over a stationary front and into the
    eastern slopes of the Appalachians.

    DISCUSSION...The northern end of the moisture plume in advance of
    Helene is lifting across NC and will cross a persistent front over southern/southwestern VA rest of the evening. Scattered
    thunderstorms have broken out along this frontal zone and to the
    west there remains terrain enhanced rainfall along the eastern
    slopes of the Appalachians. There were two main areas of heavy
    rain in this region over the past day, farther east over the NC/VA
    border last night, and earlier today west of the stationary front.
    The main focus for heavy rain into the overnight is generally
    progged to be between these two areas, but this is where the Blue
    Ridge is, so a bit of a broader swath as been drawn for possible
    flash flooding.

    Instability is sufficient with MLCAPE of 1000 to 2000 J/kg and
    moisture influx has been noted with low level southerly flow will
    increase from 15 to 30 kt through midnight which will reinforce PW
    around 1.7". Deep layer mean flow is around 30kt which should keep
    activity east of the Blue Ridge progressive, but localized
    rainfall over 1"/hr may cause some flooding issues. Terrain
    enhanced rates of 1"/hr will also cause concern...flash flooding
    is considered possible into the overnight.=20

    Further activity in the southern Mid-Atlantic is likely into
    Thursday, so please be on the look out for updated heavy rainfall
    info.

    Areas affected...Piedmont of GA and SC into the southern
    Appalachains

    Concerning...Heavy rainfall...Flash flooding likely

    Valid 260248Z - 260600Z

    SUMMARY...Areas of training are expected to continue over the next
    few hours from the Piedmont of GA and SC into the southern
    Appalachians. Peak rainfall rates in excess of 2 in/hr are
    expected with potential for considerable impacts.

    DISCUSSION...Regional radar imagery over the Southeast showed an
    advancing area of heavy rain moving north through south-central GA
    along with a persistent axis of training heavy rain across the
    southeast facing slopes of the southern Appalachians/Blue Ridge
    Mountains. An axis of south to north training has been observed
    from just south of I-40 near Lake Lure in western NC northward
    toward the VA/NC border near Damascus. Observed peak rainfall
    rates have occasionally reached between 2-3 in/hr with rainfall
    totals for the day of 4 to 6 inches in the vicinity of I-40
    between Asheville and Marion.

    Low level southeasterly winds of 20-30 kt in the 925-850 mb layer
    are expected to maintain a plume of robust moisture transport into
    the terrain over the next few hours, with 500-1000 J/kg MLCAPE
    located just upstream across the Piedmont and adjacent foothills
    of the mountains. An axis of low level convergence and areas of
    training are expected to continue across western NC, and though
    some lower rainfall rates are likely at times, the persistent
    nature of training will continue a likely threat of flash flooding
    with locally significant/considerable flash flood impacts
    possible. Farther south into GA, the northward advancement of
    heavier rain will be moving into portions of the state which
    picked up 2 to 3 inches of rain since Wednesday afternoon with an
    additional inch or two possible by 06Z.

    Areas affected...eastern WV into central VA

    Concerning...Heavy rainfall...Flash flooding possible

    Valid 260548Z - 261030Z

    SUMMARY...A few areas of training will maintain a flash flood over
    the next 3-4 hours, but decreasing instability is expected to
    diminish the threat by 10Z. Peak rainfall rates of 1 to 1.5 in/hr
    are expected.

    DISCUSSION...Scattered showers and thunderstorms remained as of
    0530Z across central/western VA into eastern WV. MRMS-derived
    rainfall rates over the past 2 hours have been peaking in the 1 to
    1.5 in/hr range, mainly near areas of mesoscale rotation. Cells
    were being driven along the leading edge of moisture
    transport/warm air advection along an anomalous moisture plume
    extending well northward of Hurricane Helene located in the
    southern Gulf of Mexico. Low level upslope flow was also a factor
    with 20-30 kt of 925-850 mb oriented from the SSE, focused into
    the Blue Ridge and Appalachians Mountains, located beneath
    diffluent flow aloft to the east of an upper low positioned over
    the Lower OH Valley.

    A few factors are expected to influence flash flood potential over
    the next few hours. While a few pockets of south to north training
    and repeating are ongoing from eastern WV into western and central
    VA, instability has been...and will continue to fall...through the
    remainder of the night. A low level anticyclone off of the central
    Mid-Atlantic coast is forecast to shift eastward which should
    allow for veering of the low level flow in VA, with winds becoming
    oriented more parallel to the axis of terrain. While precipitable
    water values will remain high (1.5 to 2.5 standard deviations
    above the mean) and highly localized instances of higher rain
    rates may remain by 10Z, the overall threat is expected to
    diminish later this morning.

    Areas affected...Apalachicola region of FL Panhandle

    Concerning...Heavy rainfall...Flash flooding likely

    Valid 260805Z - 261405Z

    SUMMARY...As bands of heavy rain located north of Hurricane Helene
    approach the eastern FL Panhandle, renewed areas of flash flooding
    are expected toward 12Z. An additional 2-4 inches is expected
    through 14Z.

    DISCUSSION...Hurricane Helene was located about 375 miles SSW of
    Apalachicola, FL according to the 06Z position by NHC, moving
    north around 8 kt, though an increase in forward speed is expected
    late this morning. While this position is still well south of the
    FL Panhandle, 0745Z radar imagery showed axes and spiral bands of
    heavy rain located in the eastern Gulf of Mexico, grazing the
    western FL Peninsula and Gulf/Franklin counties of the Panhandle.
    GOES East water vapor and infrared satellite imagery showed
    healthy outflow in the northern semicircle of Helene's circulation
    and enhanced divergence aloft was present along the FL Panhandle
    due to the presence of a potent upper level jet max centered over
    the upper TN/OH Valleys.

    An increasing frequency of bands of heavy rain are expected to
    impact the FL Panhandle over the next 3-6 hours as Helene
    continues to advance north. While rain bands oriented generally
    west to east should push north without too much in the way of
    training concerns, rain bands that are aligned more with the mean
    steering flow from SSE to NNW will be favored for training. Even
    short term training could still allow for a quick 1-2 inches of
    rain in as little as 15-30 minutes due to the tropical environment
    in place. It is expected that steady rain will continue throughout
    the remainder of the morning, but with bursts of heavy rain
    occurring at times and with an increased frequency through 14Z
    along with an additional 2-4 inches.

    Given multi-sensor MRMS estimates of 5 to 10 inches of rain over
    the past 24 hours from near Apalachicola to Lake Talquin, soil
    saturation will more easily support runoff from additional heavy
    rain. Since instability of 500 to 1000+ J/kg is forecast to remain
    along and offshore of the coast, higher rainfall rates may be
    limited to coastal sections of the east-central Peninsula, but
    longer duration/lower intensity rainfall could still have flood
    impacts farther north.

    Areas affected...central/northern GA into the southern to central
    Appalachians

    Concerning...Heavy rainfall...Flash flooding likely

    Valid 260651Z - 261045Z

    SUMMARY...Areas of heavy rain with south to north training to
    build northward through GA into the southern and central
    Appalachians through the morning. Rainfall rates of 1-2 in/hr will
    be likely, but isolated 2+ in/hr cannot be ruled out.

    DISCUSSION...Regional radar imagery across the Southeast at 0630Z
    showed a "Y" shaped appearance in reflectivity with a branch of
    heavier rainfall extending northeastward from the FL Panhandle
    into central GA, co-located with a remnant outflow/effective
    frontal boundary. A second axis of higher reflectivity extended
    northwestward across the GA coast into central GA and a broken
    axis of higher reflectivity values was located from central GA
    into western NC. These axes of higher reflectivity/heavier
    rainfall aligned fairly well with the leading edge of low level
    (0-3 km AGL) moisture flux where a plume of 2+ inch precipitable
    water values was building northward across GA via southeasterly
    low level winds of 20-30 kt. Mesoscale areas of rotation were
    embedded within the precipitation shield, associated with enhanced
    convergence and higher reflectivity along with with south to north
    training following the deeper layer steering flow.

    Short term RAP forecasts showed an axis of low level moisture flux
    convergence focusing from central GA into the southern
    Appalachians through 11Z along with gradually strengthening
    925-850 mb winds as Hurricane Helene continues to advance north
    from the southern Gulf of Mexico, increasing the low level height
    gradient across the Southeast. Flow is expected to be especially
    focused along the northern GA/SA border with RAP forecasts of 40
    kt by 12Z. The increased low level flow into and perpendicular to
    the axis of terrain, coupled with lift within the right entrance
    region of a 110-120 kt jet max aloft, should allow for
    steady/periods of heavy rain with rainfall rates of 1-2 in/hr. The
    flash flood threat will also exist farther north toward the
    upslope regions of the central Appalachians into western NC and
    southwestern VA where heavy rain has already fallen over the past
    1-2 days, although reduced instability/moisture with northern
    extent may temper rainfall rates compared to those farther south.

    Concerning...Heavy rainfall...Flash flooding likely

    Valid 261015Z - 261445Z

    SUMMARY...Flash flooding, with locally significant impacts
    possible, should be expected for portions of the southern
    Appalachians this morning. Training of heavy rain is also likely
    to produce areas of flash flooding for other portions of the
    Southeast through 14Z.

    DISCUSSION...Regional radar imagery at 10Z showed an axis of heavy
    rainfall with embedded mesoscale circulations extending from
    east-central GA along I-16 (Laurens and Treutlen counties)
    northward into far Upstate SC and western NC, along the southeast
    facing slopes of the Blue Ridge Mountains. MRMS-estimates
    indicated rainfall rates of 1 to 1.5, locally up to 2 in/hr over
    the past 1-2 hours within this axis. In addition, 24 hour
    estimates from MRMS showed 4 to 8 inch rainfall totals from Oconee
    County in far Upstate SC into McDowell County in western NC. The
    axis of heavy rain has been co-located with an area of strong low
    level moisture flux convergence centered from eastern and northern
    GA into western NC where 09Z SPC mesoanalysis data showed ~500
    J/kg MUCAPE but with higher values of instability closer to the
    Southeast coast (1000+ J/kg). Precipitable water values ranged
    from 1.7 to 2.3 inches across the region (higher toward the
    southeast), with an area of strong upper level divergence located
    within the right entrance region of a nearly stationary upper
    level jet max located east of a closed low positioned over the
    Lower OH Valley.

    Short term forecasts from the RAP show very little movement to the
    axis of low level moisture flux convergence over GA/SC/NC over the
    next 2-4 hours. Given little change in the forcing mechanisms in
    place, heavy rain potential looks to continue over the next couple
    of hours across many of the same locations already seeing heavy
    rain. The biggest change is a forecast minor reduction in the
    available instability, already somewhat low, over inland
    locations. Rainfall rates of 1-2 in/hr may reduce in magnitude but
    areas of heavy rain are likely to continue, overlapping with areas
    that have already seen heavy rainfall and are experiencing ongoing
    flash flooding. Additional rainfall totals of 2-4 inches are
    expected through 14 to 15Z with locally significant flash flooding
    possible across portions of the Blue Ridge from Upstate SC into
    western NC.

    Areas affected...Central Florida Panhandle into central Georgia

    Concerning...Heavy rainfall...Flash flooding likely

    Valid 261351Z - 261900Z

    Summary...Repeating rounds of heavy rainfall featuring rates of
    1-3"/hr will expand across the FL Panhandle and into the Southeast
    today. Where the most pronounced training occurs, rainfall of 2-3"
    is likely, with locally more than 5" possible across the central
    FL Panhandle. Flash flooding is likely.

    Discussion...The GOES-E WV imagery this morning clearly indicates
    the impressive tropical moisture plume being channeled northward
    from Hurricane Helene which is positioned in the southern Gulf of
    Mexico. Downstream, deep moisture characterized by PWs measured by
    GPS and regional 12Z soundings of 2-2.5" is funneling northward as
    it gets squeezed east of a pronounced upper low positioned over
    IL/IN. This impressive moisture will continue to be acted upon by
    robust deep layer ascent through downstream mid-level divergence
    between Helene and the upper low which will overlap with a
    persistent jet streak centered over TN leaving favorable RRQ
    diffluence from FL through western NC. A stationary front is
    analyzed across the region resulting in locally enhanced
    convergence and isentropic ascent as well. Despite abundant cloud
    cover which will somewhat minimize the instability potential, the
    impressive synoptic ascent into the deep moisture will continue to
    support heavy rainfall through the afternoon.

    The high-res CAMs are in pretty good agreement the next several
    hours that heavy rain will focus along the stationary front and expand/intensify downstream of Helene into the FL Panhandle. This
    will likely result in dual maxima for rainfall through the aftn.

    Along the front, 850mb winds surging to 30-45 kts will feature
    increasing isentropic ascent and converge into the boundary
    itself. This is reflected by increasing moisture transport vector
    convergence, and Corfidi vectors that become increasingly parallel
    to the mean flow and the front. This suggests persistent training
    of rainfall rates which the HREF probabilities indicate have a
    30-50% chance of exceeding 1"/hr. This could result in 2-3" of
    rainfall and instances of flash flooding through the afternoon.

    More significant flash flooding potential will gradually develop
    across the central FL Panhandle, especially in the vicinity of the
    Forgotten Coast. Here, 850mnb winds increasing to above 50 kts
    will exceed the mean 0-6km wind, suggesting more broad enhancement
    to the ascent. This will occur coincidentally with Corfidi vectors
    becoming increasingly anti-parallel to the mean flow, suggesting
    an enhanced backbuilding threat and training of rainfall rates
    which the HRRR suggests could exceed 3"/hr (0.75-1"/15 mins). This
    could produce locally as much as 5" of rain as reflected by 6-hr
    HREF neighborhood probabilities, and this will occur atop soils
    saturated from 24-hr rainfall that has been 4-8" in this region.
    Any of the most intense rain rates will likely result in flash
    flooding, with locally significant flash flooding possible in
    urban areas or where training occurs atop the most primed soils.

    Areas affected...Southern Appalachians

    Concerning...Heavy rainfall...Flash flooding likely

    Valid 261449Z - 262030Z

    Summary...Widespread heavy rain downstream of Hurricane Helene
    will continue today into the Southern Appalachians. Rainfall rates
    of 1-2"/hr are likely, which through repeating rounds could
    produce 2-3" of rain with local maxima of 5". This will enhance
    flash flooding, with significant impacts becoming likely across
    the Southern Blue Ridge.

    Discussion...The regional radar mosaic this morning shows an
    expansive area of heavy rain across much of the Southeast and into
    the Southern Appalachians. This is associated with a pronounced
    moisture plume noted in the GOES-E WV imagery extending downstream
    from Hurricane Helene in the Gulf of Mexico. PWs within this
    moisture plume have been measured as high as 1.75 to 2.0 inches on
    the 12Z U/A observed soundings from KRAX and KFFC. Instability is
    somewhat limited, only around 100-250 J/kg of MLCAPE, but deep
    layer ascent is impressive. Mid-level divergence between Helene
    and a pronounced upper low over IN is combining with a nearly
    stationary poleward arcing jet streak over TN to leave favorable
    RRQ over the region, while low-level SE flow continues to upslope
    into the terrain. In this environment, rainfall rates have already
    been measured via MRMS as high as 1.25", and these will likely
    continue through the aftn.

    During the next several hours, persistent moderate to heavy rain
    with rates 0.5-1"/hr will lift northward across the area, with
    embedded convective cells producing locally enhanced rain rates to
    2"/hr as reflected by HRRR 15-min rainfall exceeding 0.5". 850mb
    inflow will remain out of the S/SE through the aftn while
    gradually intensifying to above 30 kts, resulting in moisture flux
    that is progged by the SREF to exceed +3 sigma later today. This
    impressive moisture advection combining with nearly unchanging
    robust ascent will result in continuous rainfall into areas that
    have already received 4-8+" of rain the past 24-hours. The HREF
    neighborhood probabilities indicate a 50-70% (10-20%) chance of
    more than 3" (5") of rain the next 6 hours, with the highest
    probabilities across Upstate SC and into far western NC along the
    Blue Ridge. Elsewhere in northeast GA, eastern TN, and southwest
    VA, 1-3" of additional rainfall is likely through the aftn.

    This rainfall occurring atop saturated soils, sensitive terrain,
    and ongoing flash flooding, will almost certainly enhance impacts
    across the region. FFG has been extremely compromised to as low as
    0.25"/3hrs for which the HREF exceedance probabilities reach above
    70%. This lends high confidence to flash flooding and impacts as
    rain continues across the region. However, across the Blue Ridge,
    current streamflow anomalies are as much as 400-600% of normal, so
    any additional rainfall could quickly result in significant and life-threatening flash flood impacts.

    Additional rainfall this evening will almost certainly necessitate
    future MPD issuances across this region with widespread
    significant flash flooding, and possibly locally catastrophic
    impacts, developing as the rain persists and becomes even more
    intense into tonight.

    Areas affected...South Carolina and Eastern Georgia

    Concerning...Heavy rainfall...Flash flooding likely

    Valid 261505Z - 262105Z

    SUMMARY...Extremely heavy rainfall in heavy banding will persist
    into the afternoon over eastern Georgia and central South Carolina
    including Columbia. Widespread flash flooding with locally
    significant impacts is likely through the mid-afternoon.

    DISCUSSION...Regional radar imagery at 15Z showed an axis of heavy
    rainfall extending north-south over southern to central SC. This
    band is redeveloping on the south end and shifting north, nearly
    along its axis causing hourly rates of 2.5"/hr. This particular
    band is tracking into Columbia which is rather flood prone. The
    axis of heavy rain has been co-located with an area of strong low
    level moisture flux convergence in a plume of 2.2 to 2.5" PW which
    is the core of moisture streaming ahead of Helene on southerly
    35kt low level flow. Instability is rather limited decreasing from
    1500 J/kg near the SC coast to less than 500 J/kg near Columbia,
    but this is overcome from strong dynamics where the mean layer
    southerly flow is 40kt and oriented with the activity, causing
    training.

    Recent HRRR runs are under doing this band and feature more
    scattered convective modes through the mid-afternoon. However, the
    channeling of this flow between the upper low that remains over
    western TN and the ridge east of FL will maintain redeveloping
    advection and banding ahead of Helene. Given little change in the
    forcing mechanisms in place, heavy rain potential will continue
    into the mid-afternoon across many of the same locations already
    seeing heavy rain. While FFG was rather elevated over these areas,
    it is quickly dropping as heavy rain spreads in. The extreme rates
    warrants likely wording for the flash flood risk.

    There should be some break in heavy rain here later this afternoon
    before banding from Helene returns this evening as the system
    passes to the west.

    Areas affected...Central FL Panhandle into central GA

    Concerning...Heavy rainfall...Flash flooding likely

    Valid 261852Z - 270000Z

    Summary...Nearly continuous rainfall with rates of 1-3"/hr will
    persist into this evening ahead of Hurricane Helene. Training of
    these rates will result in widespread additional rainfall of 2-3"
    by this evening, with local maxima around 5" possible. This will
    expand and enhance ongoing flash flooding, with significant
    impacts likely in the central FL Panhandle.

    Discussion...The GOES-E visible imagery this afternoon shows a
    well defined and intensifying Hurricane Helene across the Gulf of
    Mexico blifting north towards the Florida Panhandle. Downstream of
    Helene, impressive moisture advection is persisting on
    strengthening SE flow around the hurricane, driving PWs to as high
    as 2.5" as measured by GPS, which is above the daily record for
    the central FL Panhandle and into southern GA. This exceptionally
    moist air is pivoting northward into an area of intense deep layer
    ascent driven via strong mid-level divergence overlapping the
    diffluent RRQ of a northward arcing jet streak. Additionally, a
    cold front draped from northern GA into the Gulf of Mexico is
    helping to produce focused moisture convergence along which heavy
    rain rates will train. 24-hr MRMS rainfall across this region has
    been generally 4-8" with locally as much as 12", and ongoing
    rainfall rates of 1-2"/hr are producing MRMS FLASH unit streamflow
    responses as high as 300-500 cfs/smi. Flash flooding is currently
    ongoing.

    During the next several hours, moisture north of Helene will
    continue to surge northward and impinge into a region of focused
    ascent from the central FL Panhandle to as far north as Atlanta,
    GA. This will likely result in both an expansion and
    intensification of rainfall, with rates potentially peaking around
    3"/hr in stronger convection, although will more commonly be
    1-2"/hr. The strengthening 850mb inflow will not only enhance
    moisture transport, resulting in stronger moisture convergence
    onshore and into the front, but also cause Corfidi vectors to
    become anti-parallel to the flow near the Gulf Coast, merging
    towards parallel along the front. This suggests increased
    backbuilding and training of echoes within spiraling and
    convergent convective clusters, and the HREF neighborhood
    probabilities indicate a 30-60% chance for 3" from the Forgotten
    Coast of FL northward along the front into central GA, while the
    WoFS confines the highest probabilities to the FL Panhandle where
    locally 4-5" is possible.

    This rain will be occurring atop soils that are fully saturated
    from heavy 24-hr rainfall,. This is reflected by NASA SPoRT 0-10cm
    RSM that is above 85%, and resultant 3-hr FFG as low as 0.75-1.5".
    This will likely be exceeded in many areas, and where the heaviest
    rates train across the most vulnerable soils, especially in the
    vicinity of Apalachicola, resultant impacts will become
    significant even before Helene's landfall later this evening.

    Areas affected...North Georgia, Western Carolinas into Virginia

    Concerning...Heavy rainfall...Flash flooding likely

    Valid 262034Z - 270230Z

    Summary...Swaths of heavy rain rates ahead of Helene will continue
    through this evening over portions of north Georgia and the
    western Carolinas into Southwest Virginia, including mainly the
    eastern side of the Southern Appalachians. Rainfall rates of
    1-2"/hr will continue, which through repeating rounds could
    produce 2-3" of rain and local maxima of 5" through 02Z. This will
    enhance flash flooding, with significant impacts
    continuing/expanding.

    Discussion...The regional radar mosaic late this afternoon shows
    continued swaths of heavy rain over north Georgia and western SC
    with continued enhancements of rainfall over the eastern slopes of
    the Southern Appalachians. This is associated with a pronounced
    moisture plume streaming north from Hurricane Helene which is now
    west of Tampa Bay. PWs within this moisture plume have been are
    2.25 to 2.5" with southeasterly flow of 20 to 35kt over central
    GA/SC expected to shift over the southern Appalachians over the
    next couple hours. Instability remains limited, 200 to 500 J/kg of
    MUCAPE, but deep layer ascent is impressive. Mid-level divergence
    between Helene and a pronounced upper low remaining over far
    western TN is combining with a nearly stationary poleward arcing
    jet streak from AL to KY with favorable right entrance dynamics
    over the region. In this environment, recent rainfall rates are
    estimated from KGSP and KFFC as up to 1.5"/hr which can be
    expected to continue through the evening. There is a notable gap
    in reflectivity over southeast GA and north FL Peninsula between
    bands, which should provide relief over the next few hours for
    southern portions of this outlook area.

    The impressive moisture advection combining with nearly unchanging
    robust ascent will result in continuous rainfall into areas that
    have already received 4 to 10" in the past 24 hours. This rainfall
    occurring atop saturated soils, sensitive terrain, and ongoing
    flash flooding with further enhanced impacts across the region
    which is still prior to the actual intense rainfall from Helene
    herself. This additional rainfall should quickly result in further life-threatening flash flooding.

    Locally catastrophic rainfall impacts are expected overnight as
    the core of Helene approaches, so please pay attention to further
    discussions and see the latest info on Helene at hurricanes dot
    gov.

    Areas affected...Florida Big Bend well up into Georgia

    Concerning...Heavy rainfall...Flash flooding likely

    Valid 262305Z - 270500Z

    Summary...Hurricane Helene will make landfall late this evening
    along the Florida Big Bend with inner bands progressing up Georgia
    and converging on a stationary front over eastern AL. The eyewall
    will impact the Big Bend area 02 to 05Z which will include heavy
    rainfall that will exacerbate the extreme impacts from wind and
    storm surge there.

    Discussion...
    GOES-E IR imagery and regional NEXRAD here at 23Z depict a well
    defined eye on Helene with a central dense overcast extending into
    Apalachee Bay. Outer bands extend north through the Atlanta metro
    with a sharp cutoff on the west side on the stationary front that
    is just into AL. Extreme moisture advection persists ahead of
    Helene on ever strengthening cyclonic flow with 2.5"+ PW in the
    inner core of the storm. This exceptionally moist air continues to
    pivot northward into an area of intense deep layer ascent driven
    via strong mid-level divergence overlapping the diffluent right
    entrance portion of a northward arcing jet streak over northern
    AL.

    Continuous rainfall with rates around 1"/hr will persist ahead of
    Helene with embedded areas of 2"/hr in the heaviest bands through
    midnight. Training of these rates will result in widespread
    additional rainfall of 2-3" by midnight. A corridor of 3 to 6"
    along and west of the eyewall, which includes Tallahassee, is
    forecast through 05Z by the 20Z HRRR which seems reasonable given
    the increasing forward speed of the hurricane. The area southwest
    of Tallahassee which has seen 6-10" over the past 24hrs is progged
    to be just west this eyewall maxima through 04Z.

    Expect flooding concerns to continue in the Atlanta metro this
    evening with the additional couple inches. However, the greater
    threat for Atlanta is early Friday morning as the remnant eye
    passes to the east. Further details on rainfall from that will
    come from overnight products.

    Areas affected...northeastern GA into the western Carolinas and
    southwestern VA

    Concerning...Heavy rainfall...Flash flooding likely

    Valid 270230Z - 270830Z

    Summary...Additional 1-3 inch rainfall totals, with localized 3-5
    inches into the Blue Ridge Mountains, are expected through 08Z
    across GA/SC/NC. Flash flooding is ongoing and will only worsen
    and expand with time.

    Discussion...Regional radar imagery from 0215Z showed widespread
    rain across much of the southeastern U.S. but with gaps over
    portions of SC in advance of an outer rain band from Helene
    tracking across the southeastern SC/GA border. A combination of
    MRMS and gauge reports showed peak rainfall rates ranging between
    0.5 to 1.5 in/hr across the upslope favored terrain of the
    southern Appalachians, specifically the Blue Ridge Mountains.

    Instability remains low in the vicinity of the terrain, less than
    250 J/kg (via 02Z SPC mesoanalysis data), increasing to over 1000
    J/kg near the SC/GA coast. However, strong forcing, including
    30-40 kt of southeasterly 925-850 mb winds (via KGSP and TCLT VAD
    wind data) was favorably oriented into the mountains, beneath
    divergent and diffluent flow aloft to the east of a closed low
    over southeastern MO and in advance of Hurricane Helene.

    No major changes to the current setup are expected through 08Z
    with the core of Helene perhaps just getting into the southern
    portions of the MPD threat area around 08Z. However, some increase
    in instability across inland is anticipated as Helene tracks
    northward overnight and an increase in the 925-850 mb wind into
    the 50-70 kt range overspreads the region. Rainfall rates of 0.5
    to 1.5 in/hr at times will continue with an additional 1-3 inches
    for many areas from northeastern GA into central and western SC/NC
    with locally 3 to 5 inch additional totals for the terrain.

    These rains will continue to make for an extremely dangerous
    situation later tonight as the core of Helene's rainfall arrives
    later this morning, for which another MPD will be issued.

    125 AM EDT Fri Sep 27 2024

    Areas affected...northern FL into GA and far eastern AL

    Concerning...Heavy rainfall...Flash flooding likely

    Valid 270522Z - 270845Z

    Summary...Heavy rain from Helene's inner core to track NNE across
    GA through 08Z with an additional 3-5 inches through 09Z. Farther
    west, an axis of heavy rain is likely to develop 06-08Z. Rainfall
    rates of 1-2 in/hr will be common but localized rates near 3 in/hr
    will be found with Helene's eyewall.

    Discussion...Hurricane Helene was located just north of the FL/GA
    border, about 10 miles west of VLD, moving toward the NNE with an
    average 3-hr speed of ~28 kt calculated via hourly NHC position
    updates through 05Z. Radar imagery showed the heaviest rain
    located in the northern eyewall, while rain was considerably
    lighter in the southern semicircle of Helene's inner core. A
    second band of heavy rain was located northwest of the eyewall,
    pivoting over ABY to just east of TLH with training from NNE to
    SSW supporting increasing rainfall rates over the past hour. While
    accurate ground truth is difficult to assess along the path of a
    landfalling hurricane, MRMS-derived hourly rainfall has been
    between 1-3 inches over the past 3 hours to the north of Helene
    while waves of higher rainfall intensity have overspread central
    to northwestern GA with rainfall rates occasionally peaking above
    1 in/hr.

    Helene is expected to maintain a similar forward speed and track
    through 08Z with the core of the heaviest rain, associated with
    Helene's eyewall, tracking NNE across east-central GA. Rainfall
    rates of 1-3 in/hr are likely but with 15-minute rates of 0.5 to 1
    inch, leading to the rapid accumulation of water on the surface.
    This will especially be true as this path will take some of
    Helene's highest rainfall rates across a stripe of 5-8 inches
    which is estimated to have fallen in a stripe from near Dublin, GA
    to just west of Augusta over the past 24 hours.

    Farther west, low level convergence along an axis near or just
    east of the AL/GA border is expected to enhance rainfall intensity
    in the 07-09Z time frame. It is here where easterly winds of 30-50
    kt in the 925-850 mb layer will meet and converge with northerly
    to NNW winds over eastern AL. Mean steering flow oriented similar
    to the expected axis of convergence will allow for rainfall rates
    of 1-2 in/hr to develop later this morning, along with areas of
    flash flooding where these higher rates overlap with heavy rain
    which has fallen over the past 24-48 hours.

    NWS Weather Prediction Center College Park MD
    447 AM EDT Fri Sep 27 2024

    Corrected for typo in summary section

    Areas affected...northeastern GA into western SC/NC and
    southwestern VA

    Concerning...Heavy rainfall...Flash flooding likely

    Valid 270830Z - 271430Z

    SUMMARY...Severe to catastrophic flash flooding will be likely for
    portions of western SC/NC this morning. Additional rainfall totals
    of 4 to 7 inches, at least locally through 14Z, will pose a threat
    to life with potential for landslides due to saturated soils and
    swollen rivers/creeks.

    DISCUSSION...Hurricane Helene was located over eastern GA at 08Z,
    just north of Eastman, tracking rapidly toward the NNE between
    25-30 kt over the past 6 hours. Water vapor imagery showed Helene
    interacting with a closed upper level low over northeastern AR,
    which is expected to cause the hurricane to turn toward the
    northwest later this morning. Recent trends in infrared satellite
    imagery showed some cloud top warming with Helene, indicative of
    weakening, but Helene remained a large and powerful tropical
    system with a symmetric appearance in colder cloud tops.

    925-850 mb winds were strongest to the east of Helene, with VAD
    wind data at KCLX showing 80-90 kt, with area VAD winds showing
    50-70 kt from the western NC/SC border into northeastern GA.
    Gradual weakening of these winds is expected over the next 3-6
    hours and the quick northward motion will at least limit the
    duration of extreme moist ascent into the terrain but a
    significant duration of high rainfall rates is still anticipated
    into portions of the Blue Ridge. As Helene continues its northward
    track, expect rainfall rates of 1-2 in/hr to expand northward with
    potential for some terrain locations to see 2-4 hours of rainfall
    rates near/above 1 in/hr.

    Estimated rainfall totals (via multi-sensor MRMS output) showed 6
    to 12+ inches of rain have fallen over the past 48 hours from
    northeastern GA into western SC/NC along the southeast facing
    slopes of the Blue Ridge Mountains. Areas of flash flooding are
    already ongoing and widespread across the region and an additional
    4 to 7 inches (locally) through 14Z is expected to produce severe
    to catastrophic levels of flash flooding with potential for
    landslides and threats to life and property. Experimental WoFS
    data from 07Z showed the probability of exceeding 5 inches through
    13Z to be 70+ percent in eastern Yancey County and 40+ percent in
    southern Haywood County (both in western NC) where upslope
    enhancement is expected to be maximized due to terrain influences.
    This is a high confidence forecast and there is strong model
    support for the location of heaviest rainfall over the next 6
    hours.

    Areas affected...northwestern GA into northeastern AL and Middle
    TN

    Concerning...Heavy rainfall...Flash flooding likely

    Valid 270930Z - 271530Z

    SUMMARY...A pivoting axis of heavy rain is expected to focus a
    threat for flash flooding from northwestern GA into northeastern
    AL and Middle TN this morning. Rainfall rates of 1-2 in/hr,
    highest to the south and east, are likely with additional rainfall
    of 2-4 inches through 15Z.

    DISCUSSION...Regional radar imagery at 09Z showed Tropical Storm
    Helene's inner core tracking northward toward the central SC/GA
    border. Bands of heavy rain also extended west of the center of
    circulation into portions of western GA, northeastern AL and
    Middle TN. MRMS and gauge data showed rainfall rates of 0.5 to 1.0
    in/hr for most areas west of Helene, but localized rain rates of
    1-2 in/hr were estimated via MRMS to the northeast of CSG where
    locally higher instability (up to 500 J/kg) was present via 09Z
    SPC mesoanalysis data. However, instability values into TN were
    quite low at or below 250 J/kg. The bands of heavy rain from
    western GA into the tri-state region of GA/AL/TN appeared to be
    associated with a low level axis of convergence, centered in the
    925-850 mb layer between strong easterly winds to the north of
    Helene and northwesterly winds in eastern AL.

    Despite the lack of greater instability, strong low level
    convergence was present within a very moist airmass characterized
    by precipitable water values of 2 inches in Middle TN, increasing
    to over 2.5 inches in west-central GA. In addition, water vapor
    imagery revealed a diffluent flow pattern aloft across the region.
    RAP forecasts show the low level convergence axis slowly pivoting
    cyclonically about a point near the tri-state region (GA/AL/TN)
    through 15Z with southeasterly steering flow aligned with the
    convergence axis at times, which will allow for repeating and
    training areas of heavy rain. Due to the limited instability in
    place, rainfall rates may struggle to climb above 1 in/hr across
    northwestern locations, but a semi-longer duration heavy rainfall
    event is expected to produce 2 to 4 inches of rain in a 6 hour
    period from portions of Middle TN into northeastern AL and
    northwestern GA. Flash flooding is considered likely, especially
    in northwestern GA where some areas of flash flooding are ongoing
    due to recent heavy rain from Helene.

    Areas affected...coastal/eastern SC into central/southern NC

    Concerning...Heavy rainfall...Flash flooding possible

    Valid 271004Z - 271600Z

    SUMMARY...Possible training and repeating of heavy rain associated
    with Tropical Storm Helene could produce localized flash flooding
    from central to coastal SC into central/southern NC through 16Z.
    The potential for 1-3 in/hr rainfall rates will exist.

    DISCUSSION...Regional radar imagery at 0950Z showed an outer rain
    band to the east of T.S. Helene focusing from the offshore waters
    of SC across the Charleston metro into central SC. Numerous cells
    were observed to be repeating across the region with brief
    training supporting MRMS-derived rainfall rates occasionally over
    1 in/hr. These cells were located with a very moist environment
    (2.3 to 2.6 inch precipitable water values) and MLCAPE of 500-1500
    J/kg via the 09Z SPC mesoanalysis.

    As Helene continues a northward to an eventual northwestward
    motion this morning, bands of heavy rain on the east side of
    Helene are expected to advance northward up the coast into the Pee
    Dee region and eventually central to southern NC. A general
    progressive motion is expected to these cells, but periods of
    stalling will be possible with the rainfall axis which could
    support locally higher rainfall rates, with 2-3 in/hr not out of
    the question. Some overlap of these rain bands with an axis of 2-5
    inches which impacted locations between CHS and MYR toward FLO.
    Additional rainfall totals of 2-4 inches will be possible through
    16Z.

    NWS Weather Prediction Center College Park MD
    913 AM EDT Fri Sep 27 2024

    Areas affected...Upstate SC, western NC, far northeastern TN,
    southwest VA, and southern WV

    Concerning...Heavy rainfall...Flash flooding likely

    Valid 271310Z - 271810Z

    SUMMARY...Life-threatening flash flooding and the likelihood of
    catastrophic impacts to continue across much of the southern
    Appalachians through at least early this afternoon with an
    additional 2-4" of rain.

    DISCUSSION...The center of Tropical Storm Helene is racing
    northward and entering Upstate SC as of 1245Z. Along with it
    resides an area of 2-3" per hour rainfall rates (via MRMS) in what
    is the leftovers of a northern eyewall over western NC. Peak
    3-hourly rainfall observations from NWS/AWOS/ARL sites also
    confirm these amounts. This torrential rainfall is occurring over
    a region that has experienced widespread rainfall amounts of 5-12"
    over the last 24 hours, making for a particularly dangerous and life-threatening situation as ground conditions are already
    oversaturated and FFGs remain extremely low. Flash flooding is
    ongoing and will likely continue/worsen over at least the next few
    hours across western NC.

    A large area of 60-80 kt southeasterly 850mb winds per the 11z RAP
    on the eastern periphery of Helene are leading to an extremely
    favorable upslope enhancement across western NC orthogonal to the
    Blue Ridge/southern Appalachians, along with record-breaking PWs
    (per the NAEFS ESAT) in the 2-2.5" range surging northward. This
    along with nearby MUCAPE values of 500 J/kg advecting northeast
    and wet bulb zero heights above 14k feet (near the daily record
    for GSO per SPC's sounding climo) will allow for warm rain
    processes.

    The only positive news is that Helene continues to race north at
    30 mph (per NHC) and lead to a quick exit of this extreme
    rainfall, with intense rates ending across Upstate SC first by 14Z
    and western NC by around 16Z. However, this region will also take
    the brunt of the tropical moisture surge and the highest
    additional totals. Heavy rain will slide northward as it exits the
    western Carolinas and impact regions of southwest VA and southern
    WV with rainfall rates of 1-2" per the 06z HREF through 19-20Z.
    This region also remains mostly saturated after 1-3" of rain over
    the past 24 hours.

    NWS Weather Prediction Center College Park MD
    203 PM EDT Fri Sep 27 2024

    Areas affected...Lower Ohio Valley into the Appalachians of
    WV/VA/NC

    Concerning...Heavy rainfall...Flash flooding possible

    Valid 271802Z - 272300Z

    Summary...Showers and thunderstorms developing around Tropical
    Storm Helene will train to the NW through the afternoon. Rainfall
    rates as high as 1.5"/hr are likely, which through this training
    could produce 1-3" of rain. Additional flash flooding is possible.

    Discussion...The regional radar mosaic this afternoon shows an
    expansive area of rainfall from the MS VLY eastward into the
    coastal Mid-Atlantic states. This precipitation shield is
    associated with the interaction of Tropical Storm Helene and an
    upper low centered near western TN. Drier air noted in WV imagery
    being ingested into Helene is impinging into an axis of higher
    boundary layer theta-e air over NC, driving local ascent to help
    to reinvigorate convection within this moist plume. PWs measured
    by GPS are generally 1.9 to 2.4 inches, nearing daily records,
    with U/A soundings featuring deep moist-adiabatic lapse rates to
    support efficient warm-rain processes. Instability is severely
    limited west of the Appalachians as noted via the SPC RAP
    analysis, but a ribbon of MLCAPE approaching 1000 J/kg over NC is
    slowly advecting westward on impressive 850mb SE inflow of 40-50
    kts.

    The evolution the next few hours is somewhat uncertain across this
    region due to CAM disagreement, but the models appear to be
    under-analyzing the current convective regeneration along the
    theta-e gradient across NC. This suggests that the overlap of
    ascent and thermodynamics is still robust, and sufficient to drive
    new convection to the NW through the aftn. The pronounced 850mb
    inflow should help advect the higher instability NW as well, which
    will support an expansion of rain rates which the HREF
    neighborhood probabilities suggest have a 20-40% chance of
    exceeding 1"hr at times. Mean storm motions will remain
    progressive on 0-6km winds of around 40 kts, but the accompanying
    850mb wind evolution will also result in collapsing and veering
    Corfidi vectors to become more anti-parallel to the flow
    indicating an increased potential for backbuilding and training.
    While the CAMs disagree on the greatest risk area for heavy
    rainfall this aftn, there is a 90% chance for 1"+ and 10-30%
    chance for 3+" of rain in both the HREF and REFS ensembles where
    the most pronounced training occurs.

    Much of this area has seen heavy rainfall the past 24-hrs reaching
    1-2" in the lower OH VLY and as much as 4-6" in SW VA. This
    suggests that the most vulnerable soils will remain in the terrain
    of the Appalachians of WV/VA and far eastern KY, but even into the
    OH VLY 3-hr FFG has fallen to around 1.5", and HREF FFG
    probabilities indicate a 20-50% chance of exceeding these values.
    While the greatest risk for flash flood impacts will be in the
    Appalachians atop the most saturated soils, any training could
    cause flash flooding into the evening.

    530 PM EDT Fri Sep 27 2024

    Areas affected...Southeast VA, eastern MD, far southern DE

    Concerning...Heavy rainfall...Flash flooding possible

    Valid 272130Z - 280201Z

    Summary...Clusters of showers and thunderstorms with 2-3"/hr rain
    rates continue to lift northward this evening. Through training,
    these rates could produce 2-3" of rain with locally higher
    amounts. Flash flooding is possible.

    Discussion...The regional radar mosaic early this evening shows a
    cluster of thunderstorms lifting northward out of far northeast
    North Carolina towards Richmond and as far north as the Middle
    Peninsula of VA. These thunderstorms are lifting northward on mean
    0-6km winds of around 40 kts, so remain progressive, but are
    containing MRMS measured hourly rainfall accumulations of 2-2.5
    inches. These impressive rain rates are being fueled by an axis of
    tropical moisture characterized by PWs of 2-2.4 inches, above the
    daily maximum for the region according to the SPC sounding
    climatology, funneling northward around the periphery of what is
    now Post-T.C. Helene over Kentucky. An axis of SBCAPE exceeding
    500 J/kg is collocated with this PW plume, providing rich
    thermodynamics to support continued convection as ascent persists
    through 850mb wind convergence, modest upper jet diffluence, and a
    weak shortwave impulse rotating within the flow. This heavy rain
    has already resulted CREST unit streamflow responses above 500
    cfs/smi, leading to multiple active FFWs.

    The high-res CAMs differ in their evolution the next few hours,
    but the latest NAMNest appears to be handling the current
    convective activity the best, followed by the recent run of the
    HRRR which has caught onto to the eastward shift. These runs
    suggest convection will persist as it heads north, but will begin
    to encounter weaker instability into MD/DE. Some of this will be
    offset by thermodynamic advection as low level 850mb inflow pushes
    higher PW and instability to the north, but in general this should
    result in a slow wane of the intensity of this convection. This is
    reflected as well both by HRRR 15-min rainfall accumulations and
    HREF neighborhood probabilities for 1-hr rainfall exceeding 1"
    peaking around 20%. However, as propagation vectors veer to become
    more aligned into the more rich thermodynamics, this could result
    in short-term backbuilding and training to lengthen the duration
    of these rain rates leading to corridors of rainfall that could
    reach 2-3" in some areas.

    As long as the intense rain rates persist, they will pose a risk
    for flash flooding. However, much of eastern MD and DE has been
    dry recently, leading to elevated FFG that only has a 5-10% chance
    of being exceeded. This suggests the greatest risk for any impacts
    will be across SE VA, or where any training can move across an
    urban area through the evening.

    1120 AM EDT Sat Sep 28 2024

    Areas affected...Southwest Florida

    Concerning...Heavy rainfall...Flash flooding possible

    Valid 281520Z - 281930Z

    SUMMARY...Training convection tracking northeast into the west
    coast of Florida is producing rates to 2.5 inches per hour. Flash
    flooding is possible, especially in urban areas.

    DISCUSSION... The remnant trailing front behind Helene is nearly
    stationary across central Florida this morning. Localized
    convergence zones have developed within the broader frontal
    boundary that have been forcing storms that have a history of
    producing rainfall rates to 2.5 inches per hour. While each
    individual cell is moving along at around 20 mph, the
    redevelopment of convection is resulting in multiple cells moving
    across urban and flood-prone areas. PWAT values to 2.5 inches are
    draped across the Ft. Myers area, with a distinct moisture
    boundary over the Tampa area. SBCAPE values are over 2,500 J/kg
    with MUCAPE over 3,000 J/kg already.

    These very high values of both moisture and instability will
    support additional thunderstorm development into the afternoon
    across the Florida Gulf Coast. HiRes guidance has been variable on
    how long the storms will last, but given the ample moisture and
    instability both in place and will continue to be advected in from
    the Gulf, it appears probable that the storms capable of heavy
    rainfall rates will continue in this region. Given some of the
    CAMs guidance that are struggling to depict the activity going on
    right now are the drier solutions, have opted to favor the wetter
    guidance such as the 12Z HRRR and ARW for the near-term forecast.

    Areas affected...Central Appalachians

    Concerning...Heavy rainfall...Flash flooding possible

    Valid 291743Z - 292300Z

    Summary...Clusters of showers and thunderstorms will develop and
    lift northward through the afternoon. Rainfall rates of 1-2"/hr
    within these cells could repeat to produce 1-3" of rainfall. This
    occurring atop pre-saturated soils may result in instances of
    flash flooding.

    Discussion...The regional radar mosaic this afternoon shows
    widespread light showers across the Ohio Valley and Mid-Atlantic,
    with embedded convective elements beginning to blossom across
    VA/WV. This convective activity is deepening in response to a
    ribbon of 500-1000 J/kg of SBCAPE which has expanded across the
    area south of a wedge front and north of a stationary front. PWs
    of 1.5-1.7 inches, or above the 90th percentile according to the
    SPC sounding climatology, are contributing to intensifying
    thermodynamics to support this convective activity. Forcing for
    ascent is additionally intensifying downstream of an upper low
    over KY, with SE 850mb winds of 10-15 kts lifting isentropically
    and orographically to combine with upper divergence and
    diffluence.

    As the aftn progresses, the high-res CAMs are in good agreement
    that convective coverage will expand in response to the increasing
    ascent within the favorable thermodynamics. Although coverage will
    likely remain scattered, aligned Corfidi vectors and mean 0-6km
    winds suggests repeating rounds of convection are likely in many
    areas. These thunderstorms will likely intensify through the aftn
    as well to produce rainfall rates for which both the HREF and REFS
    neighborhood probabilities indicate have a 40-50% of exceeding
    1"/hr, and 15-min HRRR fields indicate an isolated potential for
    2"/hr rates. Despite the progressive and scattered nature of these
    cells, multiple rounds lifting N/NW into the area could produce
    rainfall amounts of 1-3" in some areas.

    This region has been saturated recently, noted by 7-day rainfall
    departures from AHPS that area in most areas 300-600% of normal.
    This has led to fully saturated soils and compromised FFG that is
    as low as 0.75-1.5" in 3 hours. The HREF FFG exceedance
    probabilities peak as high as 70% by this evening, highest in the
    vicinity of Shenandoah NP and into the Allegheny Mountains.
    However, flash flooding will be possible anywhere the most intense
    rates repeat atop the saturated soils or across vulnerable terrain.

    Concerning...Heavy rainfall...Flash flooding possible

    Valid 292250Z - 300400Z

    Summary...Showers and thunderstorms are expected to increase in
    coverage and intensity during the next few hours. Rainfall rates
    within thunderstorms could reach 1-2"/hr, resulting in axes of
    1-3" of rain with locally higher amounts. Flash flooding is
    possible.

    Discussion...The regional radar mosaic this evening indicates that
    convective coverage is finally beginning to expand and intensify
    across parts of Virginia. This is occurring in response to a slow
    rise in favorable thermodynamics noted by the SPC RAP analysis of
    SBCAPE reaching above 500 J/kg, coincident with PWs that are above
    the 90th climatological percentile at 1.6-1.8 inches. Into this
    overlapping moisture/instability, ascent is intensifying through
    height falls and divergence downstream of an upper low positioned
    over KY, topped by modest LFQ upper diffluence, and in the
    presence of 15 kts of 850mb inflow out of the SE. Not only is this
    inflow advecting the more robust thermodynamics northward into
    VA/WV, it is also increasing ascent through convergence along the
    nose of these higher wind speeds and through both isentropic and
    orographic response to this wind trajectory. Rainfall rates within
    the stronger convection have produced MRMS measured 1-hr rainfall
    over 1 inch in southern VA.

    Although the guidance has been a tad aggressive with convective
    intensity this aftn, likely due to a slower increase in favorable
    instability, the recent radar returns suggest this evolution is
    beginning. The convection over southern VA should continue to
    expand and then push N/NW on 0-6km winds that will gradually back
    from SW to S at 15-20 kts through the evening. This evolution is
    supported by most available high-res models, and despite the
    generally progressive motion of cells, repeating rounds are likely
    as storms regenerate into the stronger thermodynamics and pivot
    northward. The HREF neighborhood probabilities for 1"/hr (2"/hr)
    rain rates peak this evening above 60% (20%), greatest in the
    higher terrain where orographic lift will enhance the rainfall
    intensity. Where storms can regenerate and repeat, these rain
    rates could result in 1-3" of rain, with locally higher amounts
    possible as progged by 10-15% HREF/REFS neighborhood probabilities
    for 5"/6hrs.

    This area has been saturated with heavy rainfall that has been 3
    to as much as 8 inches according to AHPS 7-day rainfall. This has
    led to compromised FFG and 0-10cm RSM from NASA SPoRT that is
    generally above 70%. Any heavy rain rates moving atop these
    sensitive soils could quickly become runoff leading to instances
    of flash flooding, but this appears most likely in the vulnerable
    terrain from the Blue Ridge through the Allegheny Mountains.

    Areas affected...east-central VA/NC border into central VA and far
    eastern WV

    Concerning...Heavy rainfall...Flash flooding likely

    Valid 300412Z - 301010Z

    Summary...Heavy rain showers are expected to maintain a flash
    flood threat for portions of VA into WV over at least the next 3-6
    hours. Rainfall rates of 1 to 2+ in/hr are expected, overlapping
    with wet antecedent grounds.

    Discussion...Regional radar imagery at 0345Z showed an axis of
    showers extending from the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains
    in central VA, southeastward to the east-central VA/NC border
    between I-85 and I-95. These showers were warm-topped, only -5 to
    -15C on "clean channel" infrared imagery with collision and
    coalescence processes dominating and have been rather efficient
    despite the fact that the bulk of the available instability is
    weak and limited to the 0-6 km AGL layer (via 00Z RNK/IAD and RAP
    analysis soundings). MLCAPE was only a few hundred J/kg but
    precipitable water values were estimated via 03Z SPC mesoanalysis
    data to be 1.6 to 1.9 inches. It appears low level convergence
    (925-850 mb) was playing a role in the location of these showers
    with some degree of isentropic/orographic ascent aiding in lift.

    Short term forecasts of instability from the RAP indicate only
    gradual weakening and low level convergence of southeasterly winds
    to slowly shift north over the next 3-6 hours. Rainfall rates have
    been observed locally over 2 in/hr and similar potential will
    exist overnight with slow moving and repeating showers likely to
    continue, though some weakening should be expected where
    instability is lower or decreases with time.

    Much of the area still contains lower flash flood guidance due to
    wet antecedent conditions due to rainfall over the past week.
    Therefore, while perhaps not widespread in coverage, at least a
    localized flash flood threat will be likely to continue into the
    night with rainfall rates of 1 to 2+ in/hr at times. Additional
    storm totals may exceed 3 inches on an isolated basis.

    Mesoscale Precipitation Discussion 1089
    NWS Weather Prediction Center College Park MD
    507 AM EDT Sat Oct 05 2024

    Areas affected...Deep South Texas...

    Concerning...Heavy rainfall...Flash flooding possible

    Valid 050910Z - 051500Z

    SUMMARY...Persistent highly saturated, unstable onshore flow may
    support periods of scattered efficient showers/thunderstorms
    capable of 2-2.5"/hr rates and localized 3"+ totals. Given
    recently wetted grounds, additional intense rainfall may result in
    possible flash flooding this morning.

    DISCUSSION...Large scale cyclonic gyre centered in southern Gulf
    of Mexico/Western Bay of Campeche has seen a persistent convective
    flare up throughout the evening. The broader easterly to
    northeasterly flow has been persistent through the overnight
    period and brought some transistory but intense tropical
    showers/thunderstorms across Deep South Texas. The solid 15-20kts
    of onshore surface to boundary layer flow has been transporting
    .95-1.1" precipitable water in that layer per CIRA LPW. RAP
    analysis shows small surface heating over 80F over high 70s Tds
    and fairly saturated deep moisture profile to support unstable air
    with SBCAPEs of 1500-2500 J/kg to support stronger updraft
    strength and further vertical moisture flux to support efficient
    rainfall production. Rates of 2-2.5"/hr will remain probable
    throughout the morning, much as as they have for the last 6 hours
    or so. Spots of up to 1.5-3" have been observed between Bayview
    and Harlingen matching RADAR estimates, so values higher to the
    northeast over Laguna Madre and S Kenedy county nearing 4-5" seem
    plausible.=20

    The area has been fairly dry and FFG values suggest that this
    rainfall was able to be infiltrated fairly well, but now upper
    soil profiles from this 1-3" total will have reduced FFG values
    which are in the 2-3"/hr, 2.5-4"/3hr should be lowered. Over the
    next six hours, the environment will remain very similar and
    GOES-E 3.9um SWIR shows upstream shallow convective roll-clouds
    moving through the northeasterly flow in the NE Gulf that start to
    grow vertically near the coast given enhanced frictional speed
    convergence. As such, similar transient thunderstorms with
    2-2.5"/hr rates capable of 3-5" localized totals may continue
    through the later morning hours, especially as low level flow may
    increase under influence of the stregthening convective
    cluster/surface reflection east of Tampico, MX. Winds may back a
    bit more out of the NE, enhancing convective potential across E
    Willacy and Cameron counties. HREF probability of exceeding 3" by
    15z are 40-60% with 5" values near 25%. So with each passing
    convective cell, the potential for localized flash flooding
    increases slightly as longer term totals reach/exceed 5",
    especially near urban locales.=20=20=20

    Areas affected...portions of southern FL & the Keys

    Concerning...Heavy rainfall...Flash flooding possible

    Valid 051949Z - 060149Z

    Summary...Showers and thunderstorms with heavy rainfall are
    showing minimal movement across southern FL. Hourly rain totals
    to 3" with local totals to 6" possible over the next several hours.

    Discussion...Showers and thunderstorms are forming near sea breeze
    boundaries and in the proximity to a warm front draped across
    southern FL. Precipitable water values are 2.25-2.5". Low level
    inflow as well as the mean 850-400 hPa flow is weak, which is
    leading to minimal movement to activity across the southern tip of
    the peninsula and southwest FL. Other activity lurks near the
    Middle and Upper Keys. ML CAPE is approaching 2000 J/kg which is
    being aided by afternoon insolation.

    The concern is that with minimal cell movement that amounts which
    were seen south of Florida City and west of Key Largo could
    materialize across southwest FL and the Keys through the remainder
    of the afternoon into the early evening, with radar estimates near
    6". Areas of the West Coast in particular have been especially
    wet this year with large, in places 20"+, annual surpluses.=20
    Rainfall over the past week has continued this theme between Cape
    Coral and Naples. Hourly rain totals to 3" with local totals to
    6" remain possible into this evening, which could lead to flash
    flooding of urban areas and important thoroughfares, such as US 1,
    US 41, and I-75.

    Areas affected...Southern Florida Peninsula

    Concerning...Heavy rainfall...Flash flooding likely

    Valid 061439Z - 062030Z

    Summary...Slow moving showers and thunderstorms with high rainfall
    rates of 2 to 3 inches per hour are showing minimal movement
    across portions of South Florida. Localized rainfall totals up to
    5 inches are possible through 430 pm, and this will likely result
    in some instances of flooding.

    Discussion...Numerous showers and thunderstorms are forming near
    sea breeze boundaries and in the general proximity of a stationary
    front situated across southern Florida late this morning, and also
    ahead of a mid-level vortmax that is slowly approaching the
    southwest coast of Florida. Anomalous precipitable water values
    on the order of 2.3 to 2.6 inches are in place, per recent SPC
    mesoanalysis. Another concern is the very slow cell movements
    that have been observed by regional Doppler radar imagery over the
    past several hours, and this will likely remain the case going
    into the afternoon hours, with weak low level inflow and mean
    850-300 hPa flow. In addition, mixed layer CAPE is on the order
    of 1500-2000 J/kg, which is being aided by midday solar insolation.

    The latest CAM guidance suite depicts an increase in slow moving
    convection across the southern half of the Florida Peninsula
    through the mid-late afternoon hours, with localized rainfall
    totals on the order of 4 to 6 inches possible. Areas of the West
    Coast have picked up a few inches of rain over the past 24 hours,
    and this also holds true for areas near and to the south of Miami,
    and this will be an aggravating factor for flooding potential
    today. Hourly rain totals to 3 inches are possible, which will
    likely lead to some instances of flash flooding for urban and poor
    drainage areas.

    Areas affected...Southern Peninsular Florida and the Upper Keys...

    Concerning...Heavy rainfall...Flash flooding possible

    Valid 070315Z - 070900Z

    SUMMARY...Approaching surface frontal wave with bands of warm
    advective tropical showers/thunderstorms capable of 2-2.5"/hr
    rates and spots of 3-5" totals along the coasts may pose localized
    urban rapid inundation flooding through overnight hours.

    DISCUSSION...GOES-E 3.9um SWIR depicts a few boundary layer swirls
    of Cu and TCu across the eastern Gulf of Mexico (main one near
    25.8N 85.5W) with the frontal/convergence boundary extending
    eastward to just offshore of S Sarasota county before paralleling
    the SW Coast through the central Keys. VWP and RADAR mosaic
    suggests a 925-850mb wave in proximity of Naples, pressing
    eastward. This is spurring an increase in low level southwesterly
    flow and warm advection from the Florida Channel and enhancing
    convergence with new deepening convection through the central Keys
    starting to arch northeastward. Relative maxima in low level
    instability and available moisture along/ahead of this band are
    running about 2000-2500 J/kg SBCAPE and 1.05-1.25" per CIRA LPW
    values. This will allow for solid low level moisture loading for
    intense tropical rain showers and be capable of an easy 2-3"/hr
    rain rate, but translation/duration will be critical to pose
    flooding problems.

    As the aforementioned wave crosses southern FL, WAA and
    southwesterly flow is expected to lift north and replace the band.
    Deeper layer (700-500mb) flow appears to suggest weak ridging to
    delay or allow the wave to pivot across the Everglades while the
    band lifts north. This will bring stronger cells along/through
    areas of Miami-Dade with those high rates through the next few
    hours. There is potential the band will slow and increase
    duration near the pivoting wave over the urban corridor and
    present increasing duration of heavier rainfall totals with 3-5".=20
    HREF probability of 40-80% of 3" and 30-50% of 5" remains across
    the southern tip and up the east coast to Palm Beach county.=20=20
    Given a secondary boundary/theta-e gradient is also connected to
    a prior wave/WAA exists resulting in localized frictional
    convergence across Broward county lifting north potentially adding
    to/expanding the risk area of potential 3-5" totals by 09z. Given
    proximity to urban/flat and some already saturated areas, rapid
    inundation flooding may occur locally with these cells through the
    overnight period and is considered possible.

    Along the SW FL coast...
    The potential for excessive rainfall/higher totals, is diminished
    slightly compared to the SE FL coast as cells are more likely to
    reside along/just offshore through the overnight period. However,
    there remains solid convergence along the southeast angled frontal
    zone to support similar cells from Manatee to Lee/Charlotte county
    and with limited cell motions, so though the cells are likely to
    remain just offshore, there remains some potential for 2-2.5"/hr
    rates but could result in slightly higher overall totals if they
    sneak ashore.=20

    Areas affected...southern FL

    Concerning...Heavy rainfall...Flash flooding possible

    Valid 071735Z - 072300Z

    Summary...Slow moving and training thunderstorms will pose a flash
    flood risk for southern FL through 22Z. Due to the environment,
    rainfall rates will easily have the potential for 2-3 in/hr, and
    may even exceed 3 in/hr on a localized basis.

    Discussion...While the exact placement is a little uncertain, 17Z
    surface observations showed a quasi-stationary front extending
    southwestward into Palm Beach County, through the northern
    Everglades before curving westward into the eastern Gulf near
    Naples. Local 88D radar and visible satellite imagery showed
    multiple mesoscale lows near and south of the front, while
    infrared imagery showed two areas of colder cloud tops, one west
    of the Lee Island Coast and the other west of the Lower Keys, that
    have been progressing eastward over the past few hours. Out ahead
    of these two relatively larger scale areas of lift were a couple
    of slow moving cells that have recently developed over northern
    Broward and southern Palm Beach counties. The environment near and
    south of the front consisted of 500-2000 J/kg MLCAPE (highest to
    southwest) and precipitable water values of approximately 2.3 to
    2.5 inches via 12Z sounding and 17Z SPC mesoanalysis data.

    Using the 850-300 mb layer as a proxy for storm motions, mean cell
    movement will be from the SW to WSW at 10-20 kt. Similarly
    oriented 850 mb winds of about the same magnitude will promote
    slow moving and training of cells over the southwestern and
    southeastern coasts into the Keys. Near the coast of St. Lucie and
    Martin counties, low level winds were from the east just north of
    a low located just above the surface (925-850 mb) where 850-300 mb
    mean winds were weakest across the region at 5-10 kt. Therefore,
    the northern Treasure Coast will have the potential for slow
    moving to stationary cell movement near the coast given sufficient
    instability in place.

    Much of southern FL will see an increase in thunderstorm coverage
    over the next couple of hours with potential for 2 to 3+ in/hr as
    forcing increases from the west, beneath a diffluent flow pattern
    in the upper levels. Flash flooding will be possible through 23Z,
    but is expected to remain localized and focused across urban
    corridors.

    Areas affected...southern FL into the Keys

    Concerning...Heavy rainfall...Flash flooding possible

    Valid 072314Z - 080500Z

    Summary...There is potential for a training axis of heavy rain to
    begin to impact portions of the southern FL Peninsula into the FL
    Keys by 03-06Z. Rainfall rates of 2 to 3+ in/hr will be possible,
    which may lead to flash flooding over impervious surfaces.

    Discussion...23Z surface observations, radar imagery and fading
    visible satellite imagery showed a quasi-stationary front
    extending east to west across the southern FL Peninsula with an
    apparent low on the front or at least the front aloft, located
    north of Grand Bahama Island. A secondary smaller low was noted
    just east of the Martin/Palm Beach County border, possibly
    connected to the front at the surface or just aloft.

    Low level easterly flow just north of the smaller low near the
    east coast of FL was helping to support locally heavy rain near
    and just east/offshore of Port Saint Lucie where a small bubble of
    500 J/kg MLCAPE was estimated via the 22Z SPC mesoanalysis. The
    coastal circulation may translate southward in the short term as
    the larger low to the north of Grand Bahama is forecast by short
    term RAP guidance to strengthen and become better organized
    tonight. This strengthening should result in increased northerly
    flow over the southern FL Peninsula, pushing the front southward
    toward the Middle and Upper Keys by 06Z. Farther southward
    progress of the front will likely be limited by southwesterly flow
    to the east of yet another surface low analyzed in the eastern
    Gulf near 26.4N 84.4W.

    The front is expected to act as a focus for the development of
    heavy rain where MLCAPE is forecast to be 1000+ J/kg along and
    south of the boundary, dropping off to less than 100 J/kg to the
    north. Mean steering flow should be roughly parallel to the
    boundary allowing for the repeating and training of cells, with
    rainfall rates possibly reaching 2 to 3+ in/hr within the tropical
    environment. These rates could overlap with localized urban
    centers and related impervious surfaces of the Middle/Upper Keys
    leading to localized flash flooding.

    Regarding the HRRR, while it has been fairly consistent with the
    idea of an axis of heavy rain developing in the vicinity of
    Florida Bay, the HRRR has struggled with placement of heavy rain
    from earlier today and has had differences in its forecast
    placement of the surface front and associated low pressure centers
    leading to lower confidence in its output. While the idea of
    recent HRRR cycles seems reasonable, some of its runs with 6 hr
    QPF maxima of 7 to 10 inches appears overdone.

    Areas affected...Florida Keys & Far Southern Florida Peninsula...

    Concerning...Heavy rainfall...Flash flooding possible

    Valid 080555Z - 081145Z

    SUMMARY...Favorable environment for training thunderstorms in
    vicinity of Florida Keys. While hard to hit, solid potential for
    2-3"/hr rates and spots of 4-6" totals. If intersecting,
    accompanying rapid inundation flooding is considered possible
    through morning.

    DISCUSSION...Surface and remote sensing suite depicts a developing
    surface low to the NW of Grand Bahama westerly winds pressing the
    front off southern Florida, before the front orients flat east to
    west across the Florida Bay before angling northwest along the
    coast to a shearing out and retrograding low near 25.6N 83.6W.=20
    VWP from BYX and AMX depict this stretching axis across the
    southern peninsula with unidirectional deep layer flow supporting
    a WSW to ENE training axis across the area of concern.
    GOES-E SWIR and RAP winds suggest broader but confluent warm
    advective low level flow regime along the spine of the Keys into
    Florida Bay with ample deep layer moisture AoA 2.5" with ample low
    level profile to support narrow skinny profile with solid unstable
    air given values of 2000-2500 J/kg. As such the strong low level
    convergence is supporting bands of developing CBs from upstream of
    Dry Tortugas through the area before strongest convergence resides
    just southwest of the base of the frontal zone where some sfc
    southwesterly flow is at or about 15-20kts supports stronger
    moisture flux convergence.=20=20

    The placement of features: isallobaric response to the growing
    complex in the eastern Florida Straits, retrograding low will
    support continual convergence upstream redevelopment and training
    profile to allow for thunderstorms to track through the Keys into
    far southern Florida for the next few hours. Given ample moisture
    flux, rates of 2-3"/hr are possible per Hi-Res CAMs. Solid
    probability from 00z HREF suggest 3-5" suggest the training cells
    have sufficient proximity to land that any intersection may result
    in localized totals in short enough duration to allow for rapid inundation/urban style flooding.=20

    Corrected for Summary statement

    Areas affected...Southwest Florida....

    Concerning...Heavy rainfall...Flash flooding possible

    Valid 090700Z - 091230Z

    SUMMARY...Potential for coastal training rotating thunderstorms
    capable of 2.5"/hr rates and spots of 2-5" possible through
    morning.

    DISCUSSION...06z surface analysis along with BYX VWP and RADAR
    animation shows winds have veered to more southerly and starting
    to increase WAA, lifting the stalled boundary across southeast
    Gulf/Florida Bay northward. Upper 70s to lower 80s temp/dewpoints
    along the Florida Straits and the strengthening speed convergence
    with this warm air advection is allowing for increased instability
    advection northward expanding 2500+ J/kg SBCAPE values northward
    along the coastal boundary.

    SPC MCD and bulk shear values suggest main mode of shallow
    rotating thunderstorms along this band. While mean steering flow
    and approaching isallobaric influence would press cell motions
    further west, rotation and right movement is generally
    counteracting this influence and supporting a generally north or north-northeast cell motion for these thunderstorms allowing for a
    solid potential for training development given upstream moisture
    convergence in proximity of the lifting boundary and coastal
    frictional convergence may allow for this.

    While updrafts are narrow, the rotational flow increases speed and
    directional moisture flux into the updrafts allowing for intense
    low level moisture loading and therefore intense rainfall
    production. Overall moisture of 2.25-2.5", though clearly loaded
    in the sfc to 700mb layer will support efficient production with
    hourly rates of 2-3"/hr though inner cores will likely drive the
    majority of that rain in sub-hourly time frames (15-30 minutes)
    further increasing the potential for rapid inundation flooding
    across the flat/urban ground conditions. This is further
    compounding potential issues given recent moderate to heavy
    rainfall. NASA SPoRT 0-40cm soil moisture is well above normal at
    70-80% capacity and generally above 95th percentile for the time
    period.=20

    Much of the Hi-Res guidance suite does not place this warm
    advective training band ashore, but most have assimilated this
    band much further west than current trends would suggestion, with
    recent HRRR solutions slowly adjusting to RADAR with the 05z run
    getting closest, so far. So, while the band still may align
    along/just offshore with the most intense cores/training axis, the
    risk for this training band crossing the urban coastal zones has
    increased enough to suggest spots of 2-5", resulting in possible
    localized inundation flooding through early morning.

    730 PM EDT Wed Oct 09 2024

    Areas affected...north-central FL Peninsula

    Concerning...Heavy rainfall...Flash flooding likely

    Valid 092328Z - 100445Z

    SUMMARY...An axis of extreme rainfall, stretching from the Tampa
    metropolitan region northeastward into the north-central FL
    Peninsula, is expected to result in major to locally catastrophic
    flash flooding with considerable threats to life and property.
    6-hr rainfall totals of at least 5-8 inches with hourly rainfall
    in the 2-3 in/hr range are expected.

    DISCUSSION...The 23Z update from NHC placed the center of
    Hurricane Milton 35 miles WSW of Sarasota, FL. Local radar imagery
    at 23Z from KTBW showed the heaviest rain located within what is
    effectively the northern eyewall which has pushed ashore and arced
    from Manatee into southern Hillsborough and much of Pinellas
    counties with MRMS and gauge data showing 1-2 in/hr rainfall
    rates. Portions of St. Petersburg to Bradenton have already picked
    up 5-8 inches of rain since midnight and flash flooding is
    ongoing. Farther east, an outer rain band had largely moved
    offshore of the eastern Peninsula but was arcing northwestward
    ashore just north of Cape Canaveral with 4-8 inches already
    reported across Brevard County.

    An axis of strong low level convergence tied to the northern
    eyewall, extending northeast from the center of Milton to Volusia
    County (just north of the forecast track of Milton) will support a
    prolonged period of high rainfall rates, 1-2 in/hr but locally in
    the 2 to 3+ in/hr range, with the axis training from WSW to ENE
    and slowly lifting north with time. Some locations could
    experience rainfall rates in excess of 1 in/hr for 2-4 hours,
    causing rapid rises of water above the surface as water will not
    have sufficient time to drain, especially across the mostly
    impervious surfaces of the St. Petersburg into the Tampa metro and
    possibly nearing Orlando later tonight. Additional rainfall of at
    least 5-8 inches is expected from St. Petersburg, northeastward
    into the central Peninsula where the WoFS has consistently painted
    high probabilities of exceeding 5 inches of rainfall. The 22Z WoFS
    cycle indicated 50 to 90 percent probabilities of 5+ inches and
    90th percentile (reasonable worse case scenario) values of 7-10
    inches. Major to locally catastrophic flash flooding is expected
    as a result of these high rainfall rates.

    Areas affected...portions of North-Central FL

    Concerning...Heavy rainfall...Flash flooding likely

    Valid 100445Z - 101045Z

    Summary...Locally catastrophic flash flooding likely to continue
    as Hurricane Milton moves across the Florida Peninsula with
    2-3"/hr rainfall rates and 3-8" additional totals.

    Discussion...Hurricane Milton is progressing across the central FL
    Peninsula at this hour, undergoing extratropical transition in the
    process with heavy rainfall confined to the northern half of the
    circulation. Convection associated with Milton remains intense,
    largely due to this extratropical transition process (and the
    associated strong upper-level divergence from the right entrance
    region of a 140+ kt jet streak off the Northeast coast). GOES-East
    infrared imagery indicates cloud top temperatures of -85deg C or
    colder, along with multiple lightning strikes via the GLM
    instrument. This corresponds to estimated cloud top heights of
    40-50k feet (via KTBW/MRMS echo top data), and this continues to
    support significant tropical rainfall rates of 2-3"/hr (with
    precipitable water values at record breaking levels of 2.4-2.7
    inches).

    Hi-res models are in good agreement in keeping the remnant of the
    northern eyewall of Milton convectively active until its emergence
    over the Atlantic in the next 4-6 hours. This will bring the 50
    mile wide swath of 2-3"/hr rainfall rates from the
    Lakeland/Orlando metro areas northeastward into more rural
    portions of the peninsula between Orlando and Jacksonville, as
    well as into coastal cities such as Daytona Beach, Palm Coast, and
    St. Augustine. This will result in an additional 1-3" of rainfall
    in the vicinity of Lakeland/Orlando (where 6-12" of rainfall has
    already fallen over the past 12 hours), and an additional 3-8"
    over adjacent portions of the northeastern peninsula and coastal
    cities (where 2-4" has already fallen over the past 12 hours).
    Flash flooding (some locally catastrophic) will continue in the
    hard-hit areas of Lakeland/Orlando, while flash flooding is likely
    to continue and expand to those areas towards the northeast (which
    may also experience locally significant to catastrophic flash
    flooding).

    110 AM EDT Sat Oct 19 2024

    Areas affected...Central to Northeast NM...South-Central CO

    Concerning...Heavy rainfall...Flash flooding possible

    Valid 190510Z - 191110Z

    SUMMARY...A localized threat for flash flooding will develop going
    through the overnight hours as greater concentrations of heavy
    shower and thunderstorm activity occurs. The burn scar locations
    will be most susceptible to runoff concerns.

    DISCUSSION...A deep upper-level trough and associated closed low
    over the Southwest U.S. will be moving very slowly down to the
    southeast overnight. This will favor downstream areas of central
    and eastern NM seeing an uptick deep layer ascent as divergence
    aloft overspreads the region. Coinciding with this will be the
    persistence of an increasingly moist southeast low-level jet of 30
    to 40 kts which will be advancing up across eastern NM. The
    overall PW environment currently is rather modest with PWs near
    0.75 inches, but the latest CIRA-ALPW data shows a notable fetch
    of moisture in the SFC-850 mb layer advancing gradually north and
    west across the TX High Plains which eventually will become more
    entrenched over eastern NM later tonight and Saturday morning.

    MUCAPE values are on the order of 500 to 1000+ J/kg across
    portions of central and eastern NM currently, and this coupled
    with the deeper layer ascent and moisture transport from the TX
    High Plains and Rio Grande Valley should favor a gradual increase
    in the coverage of heavy showers and thunderstorms. This will be
    mainly focused in a southwest to northeast fashion from central to
    northeast NM and to some extent over parts of south-central CO.

    The latest hires CAM guidance suggests more increase in the
    coverage and intensity of convection over the next few hours, and
    radar imagery in conjunction with GOES-E IR satellite imagery
    shows several clusters of fairly well-organized cold-topped
    convection already evolving across the region.

    Rainfall rates with the stronger pockets of convection overnight
    may reach as high as 1 to 1.25 inches/hour, and given some
    potential for localized cell-training, some rainfall totals may
    reach as high as 2 to 3 inches. This will especially be the case
    over the orographically favored Sangre De Cristo Mountains.

    A localized threat for some flash flooding will exist with the
    burn scar locations generally the most susceptible to seeing
    runoff problems. In particular, the Hermits Peak/Calf Canyon burn
    scar area in the Sangre De Cristo Mountains will be at risk for
    impacts.

    Areas affected...central to east-central NM

    Concerning...Heavy rainfall...Flash flooding possible

    Valid 191806Z - 192330Z

    SUMMARY...Localized flash flooding will be possible across
    central/east-central NM through 23Z. Rainfall rates of 0.5 to 1.5
    in/hr and 15 minute rates locally over 0.5 inches are expected
    within repeating/training regions of thunderstorms.

    DISCUSSION...18Z water vapor imagery showed a well-defined closed
    low over AZ, with only slow movement observed over the past 6
    hours. Upper level flow to the east of the closed low was fairly
    diffluent over NM with possible added lift occurring within the
    left-exit region of a weakly defined jet streak located on the
    south to southeast side of the closed low. MRMS-reflectivity has
    shown the recent development of a SSE to NNW oriented axis of
    stronger echoes over Lincoln into Torrance County, located on the
    western edge of an axis of 500-1000+ J/kg MLCAPE as depicted on
    the 17Z SPC mesoanalysis.

    Throughout the afternoon, greater insolation with breaks in cloud
    cover and continued southeasterly low level moisture transport
    will help to support an expanding coverage of 500 to 1500 J/kg
    MLCAPE over central to eastern NM as depicted by recent runs of
    the RAP, with the greatest instability over southeastern portions
    of the state. The increased instability and low level convergence
    on the eastern side of the closed low will likely contribute to
    increasing thunderstorm coverage through 23Z. The greatest concern
    for flash flood potential will exist along and just east of the
    southern Sangre de Cristo and Sacramento Mountains. While forecast
    LFC-EL mean flow of 30-50 kt from the south will keep individual
    cells moving, deep-layered southerly flow will allow for repeating
    and short-term training of cells at times, supporting localized
    hourly rainfall of 0.5 to 1.5 inches and 15-minute rates over 0.5
    inches.

    The southeast facing slopes of the southern Sangre de Cristo
    Mountains have received 2 to 3+ inches of rain, much of that over
    the past 12 hours, increasing soil moisture. While other areas of
    NM have seen less than an inch over the past 24 hours, localized
    potential for flash flooding will exist where higher intensity
    rainfall repeats over the same location, especially with any
    overlap of sensitive burn scar locations or flashy creeks/streams.

    Areas affected...Olympic Peninsula into the northern Cascades

    Concerning...Heavy rainfall

    Valid 191936Z - 200400Z

    Summary...An ongoing atmospheric river is expected to produce an
    additional 2-4 inches over the upslope regions of the Olympic
    Peninsula and northern Cascades through 04Z. Hourly rainfall rates
    in excess of 0.5 inches will be possible for several hours (mainly
    the Olympics) with 36 hour rainfall totals of 4-8 inches.

    Discussion...GOES West water vapor imagery showed an elongated
    fetch of mid-upper level moisture streaming northeastward, ahead
    of a shortwave trough, located near 44N 150W, into the West Coast
    from southern Vancouver Island into northwestern WA. Layered PW
    imagery showed this atmospheric river contained high moisture
    content throughout the vertical column and Blended TPW data
    indicated the moisture values within the plume were 150 to 200+
    percent of normal. Moisture flux anomalies have weakened since 00Z
    when the moisture axis was directed into southern Vancouver
    Island, which has received over 10 inches of rain (preliminarily)
    according to information from the NWS Weather and Hazards Data
    Viewer, but high rainfall rates remained within the axis of
    strongest moisture transport where peak precipitable water values
    were near 1.5 inches along the coast. Recent observations across
    the western Olympic Peninsula showed hourly rainfall between 0.3
    and 0.5 inches, but with localized hourly totals in excess of 0.5
    inches across western Clallam and Jefferson counties.

    19Z visible satellite imagery and surface observations depicted a
    cold front extending southwestward from north-central Vancouver
    Island into the eastern Pacific. The cold front is forecast to
    continue slowly moving toward the south and east over the next 6-9
    hours, with continued hourly rainfall over 0.5 inches across the
    western Olympic Peninsula through at least 00Z.

    2 to 4+ inches of rain has been reported across the upslope
    regions of the Olympics and northern Cascades over the past 24
    hours. Additional rainfall totals of 2 to 4 inches are expected
    though about 04Z, with rainfall intensity lowering between 00-03Z
    as the moisture axis sinks south with the cold front and weakens.
    This weakening will be in advance of the upstream shortwave near
    150W, which is expected to re-align the offshore moisture axis in
    a more south to north orientation, ahead of a forecast surface low
    which is expected to approach northwestern WA after 12Z Sunday.

    Areas affected...eastern NM

    Concerning...Heavy rainfall...Flash flooding likely

    Valid 192327Z - 200515Z

    SUMMARY...A south to north axis of heavy rain is likely to
    generate widely scattered to scattered flash flooding across
    eastern NM into the early overnight hours. Training/repeating
    cells are expected to produce 1 to 1.5+ in/hr rainfall rates
    leading to additional 2-4 inch totals through 05Z.

    DISCUSSION...Regional radar and GOES East visible imagery at 23Z
    showed a broken axis of thunderstorms extending from southwestern
    Chaves County, north-northeastward into southeastern Colfax
    County, containing several areas of overshooting tops. These
    storms were located within an instability axis containing 500 to
    1500+ J/kg MLCAPE and anomalous precipitable water values of 0.7
    to 1.1 inches via 23Z SPC mesoanalysis data. Accounting for
    sufficient wind shear aloft, some cells were organized containing
    mesocyclones and large hail, with trends in MRMS-derived rainfall
    increasing over the past 1-2 hours, currently showing a few areas
    with hourly rainfall in excess of 1 inch. Water vapor imagery
    showed a potent closed upper level low over AZ which has begun to
    slowly fill and was slowly retrograding toward the west, but
    individual vorticity maxima have been revolving about the low
    center with areas of upper level divergence and diffluence east of
    the low center over much of NM. VAD wind data at KFDX and KMAF
    showed 850 mb winds have been increasing as well over the past
    couple of hours, currently near 30 kt from the southeast.

    An axis of low level convergence near a quasi-stationary front
    located at the leading edge of an increasing low level jet is
    expected to maintain a roughly south to north axis of
    thunderstorms across eastern NM through at least 05Z. RAP
    forecasts indicate the magnitude of the 850 mb winds increasing
    over southeastern NM into the 40-50 kt range, with the leading
    edge possibly serving as a focal point for the highest rainfall
    rates. While instability is forecast to wane into the overnight
    with the loss of surface heating, likely contributing to lowering
    rainfall rates later in the night, RAP forecasts indicate at least
    500-1000 J/kg MLCAPE will remain over the east-central to
    southeastern portion of the state through 06Z. Mean steering flow,
    roughly parallel to the axis of low level convergence is expected
    to support repeating rounds and short term training of
    thunderstorms, allowing for 1 to 1.5+ in/hr rainfall rates in
    addition to 2-4 inches of rain along a south to north axis over
    eastern NM.

    It is thought that the heaviest rain will remain east of the
    sensitive burn scars located over the southern Sangre de Cristo
    and Sacramento Mountains through 05Z, however, additional, more
    isolated cells to the west of the main axis of thunderstorms may
    support an isolated flash flood threat within weaker pockets of
    instability, forced by strong dynamic lift east of the AZ closed
    low.

    Areas of flash flooding are considered likely over eastern NM,
    though may remain widely scattered in nature. Storms may propagate
    more to the east of current HRRR guidance but the flash flood
    threat will decrease with eastern extent due to higher FFG values
    toward the TX border.

    Areas affected...Eastern NM

    Concerning...Heavy rainfall...Flash flooding likely

    Valid 200410Z - 201010Z

    SUMMARY...Heavy showers and thunderstorms are expected to continue
    to impact portions of eastern NM overnight. Additional areas of
    flash flooding are likely.

    DISCUSSION...The latest GOES-E IR satellite imagery shows a very
    divergent flow regime aloft over eastern NM with an expansive
    canopy of persistent cold convective tops associated with an
    elongated band of heavy showers and thunderstorms. All of this is
    occurring downstream of a rather strong upper-level low that is
    nearly stationary over central AZ.

    MLCAPE values over eastern AZ remain on the order of 500 to 1000
    J/kg out ahead of a quasi-stationary front, but the front is
    helping to focus a strong north/south axis moisture convergence
    which is being facilitated by a southeast low-level jet of 40 to
    50 kts that is persisting across the southern High Plains.

    This enhanced moisture convergence/transport working in tandem
    with the available instability and deep layer ascent downwind of
    the upper low has resulted in some very well-organized convection
    including a few occasional supercell structures this evening that
    have been resulting in locally extreme rainfall rates.

    In fact, Roswell, NM (KROW) picked up 0.73" of rain in just a
    7-minute period between 0148Z and 0155Z. The persistence of this
    extreme rainfall rate led to Roswell seeing 2.70" of rain in one
    hour from 0151Z to 0251Z. This has led to locally catastrophic
    flash flooding impacts, with a Flash Flood Emergency for the city
    of Roswell.

    The instability trends over eastern NM are somewhat negative with
    3-hour differentials in the MLCAPE of -200 to -400 J/kg. This
    suggests that the rainfall rates will likely tend to come down a
    bit in the hours ahead, however, the persistence of deep layer ascent/upper-level jet forcing and the low-level jet yielding
    enhanced moisture flux convergence should tend to compensate and
    help keep rainfall rates still capable of reaching 1.5" to
    2.0"/hour with the stronger cells.

    Some gradual eastward advance of the overall convective rainfall
    axis is expected overnight, but some additional rainfall amounts
    of 3 to 4 inches will be possible locally where any of these cells
    continue to train or backbuild over the same area. As a result,
    additional areas of flash flooding will be likely.

    Areas affected...Eastern NM

    Concerning...Heavy rainfall...Flash flooding likely

    Valid 210057Z - 210657Z

    SUMMARY...Localized training of showers and thunderstorms will
    likely result in some additional areas of flash flooding heading
    into the overnight hours. This will especially be the case given
    the wet antecedent conditions across the region.

    DISCUSSION...The latest GOES-E IR satellite imagery shows a closed
    upper low near the Four Corners region gradually beginning to
    shift off to the northeast. Divergent flow aloft ahead of the
    upper low associated with DPVA will be combining with a moderately
    unstable airmass over areas of eastern NM for locally broken
    coverage of heavy showers and thunderstorms heading into the
    overnight hours.

    MLCAPE values of 1500 to 2000 J/kg are in place which combined
    with a belt of 30 to 40 kts of effective bulk shear should yield a
    threat for locally organized bands of multicell convection and
    potentially a few supercells that will be capable of producing
    heavy rainfall rates. The PWs over eastern NM are quite moist and
    running 2 to 2.5 standard deviations above normal.

    The more organized pockets of convection may produce rainfall
    rates of 1.5 to 2.0 inches/hour, and given the environment that is
    conducive for some cell-training, there may be some rainfall
    totals going through 06Z that reach as high as 2 to 4 inches. This
    is generally consistent with the 18Z HREF guidance and reflects
    the expectation that there may be some additional uptick in the
    coverage of convection over the next few hours.

    Given the wet antecedent conditions over the region from recent
    heavy rainfall, some additional areas of flash flooding are likely
    heading into the overnight hours. This will also include a concern
    for burn scar impacts over portions of the Sangre De Cristo
    Mountains.

    Concerning...Heavy rainfall...Flash flooding possible

    Valid 311820Z - 010015Z

    SUMMARY...Potential for a widely scattered incident or two of
    flash flooding is possible through late afternoon into early
    evening hours.

    DISCUSSION...A potent autumn cyclone and associated cold front are
    pressing across the central portion of the U.S, while a strong
    ridge remains entrenched over the Southeast. As such, a solid
    core of return moisture across the central Gulf with total
    Precipitable water over 2.25" is lifting north across Louisiana
    and starting to interact/consolidate within the warm sector ahead
    of the approaching cold front. However, stronger mid to upper
    level jet remains well enough north that front is starting stretch
    and flatten from east to west under these low to mid-level
    shearing forces. Moderately clear skies throughout the morning
    into peak heating across the warm sector has brought temps into
    the mid-80s over low to mid-70s Tds, resulting in a moderately
    unstable environment across SE TX into much of central and
    southern LA with MLCAPEs reaching 1500 J/kg, though nearing 2000
    J/kg further west. This disparity is mainly driven by steepening
    lapse rates and drying mid-levels above 700mb per CIRA LPW and RAP
    analysis; while profiles are more satuated through depth in the
    core of the q-axis from Vermillion to Rapides parish in central
    LA.

    Divergence is maximized at the entrance of the upper-level jet in
    proximity to a weak surface inflection along the pre-frontal
    convergence axis/effective cold front across NW LA, extending
    northward into AR; while weaker flow exists across the Gulf Coast
    proper, the overall confluence through depth (mainly directional)
    is resulting in solid deep layer convergence. GOES-E and regional
    RADAR mosaic has noted a solid increase in convective coverage and
    intensity along the q-axis as well as a few upstream clusters in
    SE TX from Houston to the Sabine River. Effective bulk shear is
    modest to weak but sufficient for some organized structures and
    with deep layer flow from the southwest to the northeast (and
    convergent) cell motions may support occasional repeating/training
    profiles of these clusters. This is likely to be required to
    overcome dry conditions and high FFG values across much of the
    area. Still, available moisture and solid flux should result in
    efficient rainfall production as updrafts broaden in time, adding
    to localized duration and potential for 2" sub-hourly totals.=20

    While FFG values are 3-5"/1-3hrs across the area of concern, 12z
    HREF neighborhood probability of 3"/6hrs (mainly bolstered
    3"/3hrs) is greater than 50% from Brazoria county, TX to West
    Feliciana parish, LA with greater than 25% from Sabine River to
    St. Landry with greatest potential in Evangeline parish. This
    still may only result in widely scattered, low-end instance or two
    of localized flash flooding; however there are a few prone urban
    centers along that axis where scattered spots of 3-4" may occur.=20
    As such, flash flooding is considered possible this afternoon but
    mainly after 21z into this evening.=20=20

    Areas affected...South-Central LA

    Concerning...Heavy rainfall...Flash flooding possible

    Valid 012210Z - 020130Z

    SUMMARY...A localized threat of flash flooding will exist through
    the early evening hours from slow-moving areas of heavy showers
    and thunderstorms.

    DISCUSSION...Radar imagery in conjunction with late-day GOES-E IR
    satellite imagery shows a general north/south axis of slow-moving
    showers and thunderstorms impacting some of the parishes of
    south-central LA. The convection is generally aligned in close
    proximity to a surface trough and is embedded within a modestly
    unstable, but moist environment.

    MLCAPE values of 500 to 1000 J/kg are noted along with PWs of 1.75
    to 2 inches, and this has been facilitating some rainfall rates of
    1 to 2 inches/hour with the stronger convective cores.
    Cell-motions though have been rather slow over the last couple of
    hours, and this is favoring some locally heavy storm totals.

    The loss of daytime heating combined with the convective
    overturning process should yield a gradual waning of the diurnal
    instability that is pooled across the region, and this will
    support an eventual weakening of the axis of convection with
    decreasing rainfall rates in time.

    Locally as much as an additional 2 to 4 inches of rain will be
    possible over the next few hours going through the early evening
    hours before the activity weakens. Given some of the rains that
    occurred yesterday, these additional totals may support a
    localized flash flood threat, but any runoff concerns will mainly
    be of the urban variety.

    Areas affected...eastern NM into the western TX Panhandle

    Concerning...Heavy rainfall...Flash flooding possible

    Valid 020417Z - 020930Z

    SUMMARY...A flash flood threat is expected to increase across
    portions of eastern NM into the western TX Panhandle through 09Z.
    Rainfall rates of 1-2 in/hr are expected along with 6-hour totals
    2-4 inches.

    DISCUSSION...Regional radar and GOES East infrared satellite
    imagery has shown an increasing coverage of scattered
    thunderstorms over southeastern NM, between CNM to just northwest
    of CVS since 03Z. Southeasterly low level moisture transport, as
    seen on CIRA Layered PW imagery below 700 mb, was contributing to
    increasing instability over southeastern NM into the southern TX
    Panhandle with 500-1500 J/kg MLCAPE on the 03Z SPC mesoanalysis
    co-located with the ongoing storms. 850 mb winds of 30-35 kt were
    observed via VAD wind data at KMAF with speed convergence and low
    level upslope helping to focus storms.

    Back to the west, an eastward moving upper level trough was
    observed over the southwestern U.S. with lift out ahead likely to
    increase thunderstorm potential across the southern High Plains
    through the remainder of the night. The past few runs of the RAP
    have supported 30-40 kt 850 mb winds broadening over the Permian
    Basin with 40+ kt forecast over the Pecos River Valley in western
    TX developing between 06-07Z. Continued moisture advection should
    allow MLCAPE to expand as well with 500-1500 J/kg becoming more
    widespread across southeastern NM into the western TX Panhandle
    through 08Z. While it is not yet clear precisely where, an axis of
    low level convergence oriented SW to NE or similar to the mean
    steering flow will become better defined tonight, likely allowing
    for repeating and occasional training of thunderstorms, capable of
    producing 1-2 in/hr rainfall rates. Expectations are for 3 to 6-hr
    totals of 2-4 inches which may result in localized flash flooding
    through 09Z from portions of southeastern/east-central NM into the
    western TX Panhandle.

    Areas affected...eastern NM into TX Panhandle and western OK

    Concerning...Heavy rainfall...Flash flooding likely

    Valid 020940Z - 021540Z

    SUMMARY...The flash flood threat will continue through 15Z for
    eastern NM into the TX Panhandle and western OK with additional
    rainfall totals of 2-4 inches. While additional areas of flash
    flooding will be likely, coverage is expected to remain isolated
    to scattered.

    DISCUSSION...0915Z radar imagery showed that an axis of
    thunderstorms stretched northeastward from south-central NM into
    the TX Panhandle with 2 to 4+ inches of rain estimated via MRMS
    since 03Z between ROW and AMA near US 70 in NM and US 60 in TX.
    Some recent southeastward bowing was observed to the southeast of
    AMA which has reduced training due to the reflectivity axis
    falling out of alignment with the mean southwesterly steering
    flow. However, greater lift is approaching ahead of an eastward
    advancing shortwave trough axis extending SSW from CO into western
    NM and southeastern AZ with left-exit and right-entrance ascent
    occurring with a pair of developing 100 kt upper level jet streaks
    located over northwestern Mexico and the central Plains.

    Recent RAP forecasts indicate the 40 kt 850 mb southeasterly LLJ
    is at its peak and subtle veering and weakening of the flow is
    expected through 15Z across southeastern NM into western TX.
    Realignment of the low level convergence axis is forecast to occur
    a bit south of its current position as the veering occurs and a
    weakness in magnitude occurs over the TX Panhandle near I-40 as
    seen in RAP output. As the aforementioned shortwave trough
    advances east early this morning some eastward translation to the
    low level convergence axis will be possible, allowing for the axis
    of training heavy rain (1-2 in/hr rainfall rates) to shift south
    and eventually east, out of NM, remaining along the northern edge
    of a plume of 500-1500 J/kg MLCAPE.

    Additional rainfall totals of 2 to 4 inches (locally higher
    possible) are expected in a few locations along the low level
    convergence axis but coverage should remain isolated to scattered
    across the broader region of eastern NM into the TX Panhandle and
    western OK. Therefore, while additional flash flooding will be
    likely, it is not expected to be contiguous across the area
    through 15Z.

    Areas affected...Far eastern New Mexico, Texas Panhandle, western
    Oklahoma

    Concerning...Heavy rainfall...Flash flooding possible

    Valid 021635Z - 022200Z

    Summary...Convective cells are expected to regenerate along an
    outflow boundary and track E/NE through the afternoon. Rainfall
    rates in excess of 1"/hr are likely, resulting in axes of 2-3" of
    rain with locally higher amounts. This could result in instances
    of flash flooding.

    Discussion...A longwave trough centered over the Great Basin is
    amplifying this morning as evidenced by RAP height falls across
    that region. This is resulting in sharpening downstream SW flow
    tapping moisture from the Pacific, and PWs of 1.1 to 1.3 inches
    have surged into the TX Panhandle, near daily records for early
    November. Into this moisture, deep layer lift is increasing as
    height falls and divergence downstream of the primary trough axis
    increase, and overlap with an impressively coupled jet structure
    to produce diffluence aloft. This ascent is being enhanced by
    mesoscale lift as low-level southerly flow from south Texas surges
    northward on 850mb winds of 20-30 kts, lifting isentropically atop
    an outflow boundary evident on the regional radar mosaic. Although
    this outflow boundary is progged via hig-res guidance to continue
    to shift progressively E/SE, this isentropic ascent should result
    in regeneration and training of cells through the aftn.

    Rainfall rates in current convection are generally modest, but
    MRMS 1-hr rainfall accumulations suggest isolated instances of
    1-1.5" of rain in the past hour. These rain rates are somewhat
    minimized by a lack of pronounced instability, as the SPC RAP
    indicates a sharp MLCAPE gradient from 250-1000 J/kg across the
    southern TX Panhandle. As the 850mb LLJ continues from the south
    however, there is good agreement that these more robust
    thermodynamics will surge northward, reaching 1000-2000 J/kg this
    aftn. This should result in increased coverage of rainfall rates
    exceeding 1"/hr as progged by both HREF and REFS hourly rain rate probabilities. At the same time, mean 0-6km flow will remain
    around 30 kts from the S/SW, suggesting cells that regenerate
    along the SW portion of this outflow as it stalls will shift N/NE
    and train. This indicates potentially two axes of heavy rainfall:
    one along this SW flank where cells repeatedly develop, and a
    second maxima into western OK where mean flow is more parallel to
    the boundary to enhance training. In both these areas, HREF
    neighborhood probabilities for 3"/6hrs reach 40-50%.

    Somewhat limiting to the flash flood potential today is
    exceptionally dry antecedent conditions reflected by AHPS 30-day
    rainfall that is generally less than 25% of normal, leading to
    NASA SPoRT 0-40cm soil moisture that is around the 10th
    percentile. This suggests that flash flooding should primarily be
    isolated the next several hours, but where any of these 1-2"/hr
    rates train/regenerate, instances of flash flooding will be
    possible.

    Areas affected...Far southeast NM into the Permian Basin and
    Rolling Plains of Texas

    Concerning...Heavy rainfall...Flash flooding possible

    Valid 022100Z - 030300Z

    Summary...Discrete thunderstorms blossoming across the High Plains
    of New Mexico will likely expand in coverage and grow upscale into
    clusters through the afternoon. Rainfall rates of 2"/hr or more
    are likely, which through several rounds could cause 2-3" of rain
    with locally higher amounts. Flash flooding is possible.

    Discussion...The regional radar mosaic this afternoon indicates
    that discrete thunderstorms, including supercells, have rapidly
    developed across southeast NM in the past few hours, and have
    expanded into the Permian Basin of Texas. This convection is
    blossoming in response to impressive deep layer ascent driven
    through PVA downstream of a shortwave lifting across the area
    combined with strong upper diffluence within an increasingly
    coupled upper jet structure. In the lower levels, 850mb inflow
    from the S/SE is lifting isentropically atop a weakening outflow
    boundary (which is reflected by a sharp instability gradient),
    while concurrently transporting robust thermodynamics northward
    characterized by PWs of 0.9-1.2 inches, near the daily record, and
    MLCAPE of 1500-2000 J/kg. Rainfall rates within this convection
    has been measured by MRMS as high as 1.25-1.5" in the last hour,
    leading to modest CREST unit streamflow responses already.

    The high-res CAMs appear to generally be under-doing the
    convective coverage this aftn, a theme that has been common
    through the day. This limits somewhat the confidence in the exact
    evolution the next several hours. However, despite coverage and
    timing issues with the guidance, they all agree that eventually
    thunderstorms will expand and grow upscale into clusters. This
    will be supported by a continued increase in deep layer ascent
    impinging into persistently elevated thermodynamics as the
    low-level flow remains. This should result in thunderstorms that
    intensify, supporting rainfall rates which have a 10-20% chance
    (HREF) and 30% chance (REFS) of exceeding 2"/hr through the aftn
    and into the evening. Mean 850-300mb winds are expected to remain
    progressive at 30 kts from the SW, but despite this, as storms
    organize through 0-6km bulk shear of 40-50 kts, intense rain rates
    through short-term training could result in maximum rainfall of
    2-3" with locally higher amounts.

    Far southeast NM, the southern Permian Basin, and the southern Cap
    Rock have all been very dry the past 7 days, but AHPS rainfall
    departures are well above normal north of there. This has lowered
    3-hr FFG to just 1-1.5" across the more saturated soils. As
    convection expands and organizes, it could move across these more
    sensitive soils, leading to potential instances of flash flooding
    into the evening.

    propagating line of thunderstorms tracking across the southern TX
    Panhandle, just east of the Caprock Escarpment. Additional showers
    and thunderstorms were noted across the Red River into much of OK.
    All of this activity was located near or northwest of a remnant
    outflow boundary which extended from near MAF to RPH in TX, then
    northeastward into OK between TUL and OKM. SPC mesoanalysis data
    indicated MLCAPE values were 500-1500 J/kg along and south of the
    outflow boundary, while CAPE dropped off significantly to the
    north of the outflow. 850 mb winds of 35-45 kt from the south were
    present over west-central TX into central/eastern OK, overrunning
    the outflow and forcing convection. Large scale lift was present
    over the region out ahead of a longwave trough axis moving through
    the southwestern U.S. and within the divergent and diffluent
    left-exit region of a prominent 110-130 kt upper level jet max
    streaking across northern Mexico into southwestern TX.

    Broad forcing ahead of the eastward moving upper level trough over
    the Southwest will allow southerly low level winds to maintain and
    locally strengthen over TX/OK tonight, continuing overrunning
    thunderstorms north of the outflow. The outflow boundary itself is
    expected to become more diffuse with time over OK but stay better
    defined over TX, to the south of the eastward advancing line.

    Despite the forward progression of the convective line east of the
    Caprock, mean southwesterly steering flow will align with the axis
    of low level forcing, whether it be the outflow boundary or
    convective lines near/north of the outflow to support training.
    Rainfall rates of 1-2 in/hr (locally higher) are likely to develop
    within areas of training with multiple hours of heavy rain
    possible over a given location.

    Despite mostly dry ground conditions from ongoing drought, high
    rainfall rates over a short period of time are expected to
    overwhelm soils and support areas of flash flooding, with
    localized totals over 4 to 5 inches possible. The flash flood risk
    will be enhanced if these higher rates overlap with urban
    corridors, including the Oklahoma City and/or Tulsa metro.

    Areas affected...northern TX into southern OK

    Concerning...Heavy rainfall...Flash flooding possible

    Valid 030929Z - 031500Z

    Summary...An axis of training heavy rain is expected to impact
    portions of northern TX into southern OK through 15Z with rainfall
    rates of 1 to 2+ in/hr. Rainfall totals of 2 to 4+ inches are
    expected through 15Z along with possible flash flooding.

    Discussion...Looping regional radar imagery through 09Z showed a
    QLCS progressing eastward across OK at roughly 40-50 kt but the
    southwestern flank of this convective line has largely stalled
    across northwestern TX, between US 180 and US 380 to the north of
    Abilene. Area VAD winds at 850 mb showed 40-45 kt from the south
    across central to western TX, overrunning the rain-cooled airmass
    where 1000 to 2000+ J/kg MLCAPE was present along and south of the
    outflow boundary (per 09Z SPC mesoanalysis). In addition to the
    low level forcing in place, flow aloft was diffluent and
    divergent, within the left exit region of a RAP-estimated 110-120
    kt upper level jet max crossing Big Bend NP.

    Despite the typical diurnal cycle favoring weakening of the low
    level jet through 15Z, RAP forecasts suggest only slight weakening
    of the 850 mb winds (into the 30-40 kt range) as a shortwave
    trough axis over the southern AZ/NM border translates eastward
    this morning. However, infrared cloud tops have been warming
    across northwestern TX over the past hour, perhaps due to a
    combination of the intrusion of dry air aloft as seen on Layered
    PW imagery and weakening moisture flux.

    Despite the recent weakening, a flash flood threat will remain
    across the Red River Valley over the next few hours as areas of
    training will likely persist into the mid-morning hours with storm
    motions parallel to the low level axis of forcing. The threat for
    training and 1 to 2+ in/hr rates is expected to shift ENE across
    the Red River into portions of southern OK through 15Z along with
    additional rainfall totals of 2 to 4 inches (locally higher).
    Flash flooding will continue to be possible over the next few
    hours with an expected weakening of rainfall intensity and
    training potential toward the end of the MPD valid time (13-15Z).

    Areas affected...southwestern MO, southeastern KS, northwestern
    AR, northeastern OK

    Concerning...Heavy rainfall...Flash flooding possible

    Valid 031016Z - 031435Z

    Summary...A localized occurrence or two of flash flooding will be
    possible across southeastern KS/northeastern OK into the Ozarks
    through 15Z. While an overall weakening trend in flash flood
    potential is expected over the next few hours, rainfall rates of
    1-2 in/hr through training may overlap hydrologically sensitive
    locations, resulting in runoff issues.

    Discussion...10Z radar/satellite imagery showed an MCS tracking
    across eastern OK with a convectively induced vorticity max (MCV)
    inferred across east-central OK. South of the MCV, a convective
    line was rapidly advancing eastward, limiting the threat for
    short-term flash flooding over eastern OK. Farther north, rainfall
    was more stratiform in nature with embedded convective elements.
    Strong lift was occurring across eastern KS/OK within a coupled
    upper level jet exit/entrance region supporting a divergent and
    diffluent regime aloft. Instability was limited however, with
    MUCAPE values of ~500 J/kg or less per 09Z SPC mesoanalysis data.

    Expectations are for the MCV and associated areas of heavy rain
    with embedded training to track toward the northeast over the next
    2-4 hours. While instability is forecast to remain limited across
    northeastern OK/southeastern KS into adjacent areas of MO/AR,
    strong dynamic lift ahead of the MCV and within the favorable divergent/diffluent pattern aloft may favor brief instances of SW
    to NE training within the unidirectional SW flow. Rainfall rates
    of 1 to 2 in/hr will be possible along with an additional 2 to 3
    inches of rain (locally higher possible) through 15Z. Overlap of
    these heavier rainfall rates may overlap with urban areas or an
    estimated 4-6 inches of rain which impacted the I-44 corridor in
    northeastern OK over the past 12 hours, to generate localized
    flash flooding. However, with time, weakening of rainfall
    intensities are expected with increased forward progression and a
    less favorable thermodynamic environment.

    Areas affected...central and southern OK...North TX

    Concerning...Heavy rainfall...Flash flooding likely

    Valid 032000Z - 040200Z

    Summary...Localized 2-4" short term totals likely to result in
    isolated to scattered instances of flash flooding through the
    afternoon.

    Discussion...Convective coverage is increasing this afternoon
    across North TX and southern OK, the most intense of which
    initiated in the vicinity of the dry line this morning (and is
    quickly organizing into a distinct bow echo). This region is
    encompassed within a large warm sector and associated low-level
    convergence, and instability is once again building after the
    passage of an organized MCS overnight. The mesoscale environment
    is characterized by ML CAPE of 1000-2000 J/kg (except over
    northeast OK, though continued warm air advection and isentropic
    lift will change that over the next several hours), PWATs of
    1.4-1.7 inches (near record levels, per OUN sounding climatology),
    and effective bulk shear of 45-55 kts.

    Continued building instability within this favorable environment
    will support increased coverage and intensity of convection into
    the evening. This is especially the case given the upper-level
    support, as upper-level diffluence is even more impressive than
    the low-level convergence (with a phased northern and southern
    stream allowing for idealized left-exit region of a sub-tropical
    jet streak and right-entrance region of a polar jet streak). Given
    the prior rainfall over the past 24 hours (locally up to 3-6"+
    over much of OK, per MRMS estimates), antecedent conditions will
    be more supportive of excessive rainfall with this next round of
    storms.

    Hi-res CAMs are in relatively good agreement with convective
    evolution, suggesting the potential for localized 2-4" totals over
    the next 3-6 hours (per HREF probability-matched mean QPF). While
    fast storm motions should generally limit hourly totals to 1.5" or
    so (at least through 02z), localized repeating/training of these
    rates should support those advertised 3-6 hour totals. The
    corresponding Flash Flood Guidance (FFG) are on the order of only
    1.5-3.0" (given the aforementioned antecedent conditions), so
    isolated to scattered instances of flash flooding are considered
    likely.

    Areas affected...in and near portions of eastern OK, AR, and
    southern MO

    Concerning...Heavy rainfall...Flash flooding likely

    Valid 032359Z - 040559Z

    Summary...Training showers and thunderstorms over saturating soils
    and area terrain are expected to lead to scattered instances of
    flash flooding through 06z. Hourly rain totals to 2.5" with local
    totals to 5" are expected over that time frame.

    Discussion...An upper trough crossing the southern Rockies is
    causing a broad area of divergence aloft across portions of the
    southern Plains and Mid-South. An effective front, part synoptic
    scale and part outflow boundary, extends from a low near the Red
    River of the South across southern and eastern AR into the
    Bootheel of MO. Along and north of the boundary a broad area of
    showers and thunderstorms with heavy rainfall exists, with a
    slight break in easternmost OK. Precipitable water values are
    near 2" per GPS data. MU CAPE of 500-2000 J/kg exists near the
    convection. Effective bulk shear is near 60 kts, more than
    sufficient for mesocyclone development. The mean flow is out of
    the south-southwest at ~60 kts, with some veering seen in the
    low-levels. This is helping to support training convective bands.

    The mesoscale guidance broadly supports heavy rainfall in the
    region, with high chances of 3"+ across southeast OK, northwest
    AR, and some of southern MO. The two areas of heavy rainfall are
    expected to merge with a potential increase in intensity as warm
    air advection increases MU CAPE into the region over the next
    several hours due to strengthening 850 hPa inflow from the Gulf of
    Mexico. Some veering to the low-level flow should continue
    eastward progression, but also increase the likelihood for cell
    training as the flow becomes more unidirectional with height.=20
    Given the ingredients available, hourly rain totals to 2.5" with
    local totals to 5" are expected over the next several hours, which
    would prove too much for saturating soils across portions of
    eastern OK and southwest AR. Such rainfall would be problematic
    in the terrain of the Ozarks as well. Given the above, chose the
    flash flooding likely category as scattered instances of such are
    expected through 06z.

    Areas affected...eastern OK, northwestern AR, southern MO

    Concerning...Heavy rainfall...Flash flooding possible

    Valid 040610Z - 041030Z

    Summary...Periods of training convection may result in a few areas
    of flash flooding from eastern OK into northwestern AR and
    southern MO through 11Z. 2 to 4 inches of rain is expected where
    training sets up.

    Discussion...A composite outflow boundary was analyzed at 06Z from
    the eastern MO/AR border into central AR, eastern OK and then
    southwestward across the Red River between Denison and Wichita
    Falls, TX. Elevated thunderstorms were occurring to the north of
    the outflow with an eastward advancing contiguous convective line
    from central MO into northwestern AR. Convective line progression
    was stalled or retrograding slightly to the north over
    northwestern AR and a fragmented/broken axis of thunderstorms
    extended westward from northwest AR into central OK with
    individual cell motions off toward the NNE but better organization
    was lacking over OK. Southerly low level winds were overrunning
    the boundary supporting the continued regeneration of
    thunderstorms, acting on 1000-2000 J/kg MLCAPE along and south of
    the outflow boundary in eastern OK. While the better 850 mb flow
    was located ahead of the advancing convective line in MO/AR, 30 to
    50 kt of S to SSW 850 winds were reported via VAD wind data to the
    south of the outflow from eastern OK into northern TX.

    The eastward advancing convective line in MO/northern AR is
    expected to continue pushing off toward the east but back to the
    west in OK, the outflow boundary is expected to continue a modest
    retreat northward within deep-layered S to SW flow ahead of a
    longwave trough over the Four Corners region. Isentropic ascent
    across the composite outflow boundary will likely maintain some
    degree of convective regeneration over central to eastern OK into
    far western AR through 11Z. While not forecast to be widespread,
    instances of training will occur where convective orientation
    aligns with the deeper layer SSW steering flow. Training will
    support rainfall rates of 1-2 in/hr, some of which will overlap
    with saturated top layer soils given recent heavy rainfall over
    the past 24-36 hours.

    Areas of training are expected to be transient and scattered
    across the region overnight. Recent hires guidance does not have a
    good handle on the progression and timing of convection compared
    to recent radar trends, so their forecast coverage of 3 to 6
    inches through 12Z may be overdone. Nonetheless, 2-4 inches in a
    few locations is still expected which may lead to a few areas of
    flash flooding.

    Areas affected...northern AR into south-central/southeastern MO,
    southwestern IL

    Concerning...Heavy rainfall...Flash flooding possible

    Valid 041052Z - 041545Z

    Summary...Areas of training heavy rain will continue to pose a
    possible threat for flash flooding across parts of northern AR
    into south-central/southeastern MO through 15Z. Portions of
    southwestern IL may also see impacts. Rainfall rates of 1-2 in/hr
    (locally higher) should be expected.

    Discussion...10Z surface observations showed an elongated outflow
    boundary extended southwestward from the southern IL/MO border
    into northwestern AR and southeastern OK. Training and repeating
    rounds of thunderstorms were occurring along and just north of the
    outflow boundary from northwestern AR into southern MO, with
    MRMS-derived peak rainfall rates of 1.0-1.5 in/hr. Area VAD wind
    plots of 850 mb winds showed 40-50 kt in place from Fort Smith to
    Memphis, overrunning the boundary and allowing training of heavy
    rainfall echoes given similarly oriented steering flow from the
    SSW. There was a gradient in MLCAPE across AR, with 10Z SPC
    mesoanalysis data showing 1500 j/kg along the OK/AR border,
    weakening to the east with less than 500 J/kg along the AR/TN
    border, with elevated instability only marginally greater to the
    north.

    There is little change expected to the regional pattern in place
    over the next 3-6 hours, with 850 mb winds of 40-50 kt forecast by
    the RAP to continue through 15Z, along with similar instability
    and broad/weak diffluent flow aloft. While convective overturning
    may moderate current instability values a bit with time,
    orographic ascent will enhance low level lift across the southern
    Ozark Plateau. Expectations are for occasional areas of training
    to setup from northern AR into south-central and southeastern MO,
    producing 1-2 in/hr rainfall rates as these relatively strong low
    level winds overrun the well-defined outflow boundary in place.
    Flash flooding will remain possible for at least another few hours.

    Areas affected...Northern AR...South-Central to Southeast
    MO...Southwest IL

    Concerning...Heavy rainfall...Flash flooding likely

    Valid 041533Z - 042133Z

    SUMMARY...Additional rounds of heavy showers and thunderstorms
    which will occasionally repeat over the same area will continue to
    foster areas of flash flooding heading into the afternoon hours.

    DISCUSSION....GOES-E IR satellite imagery in conjunction with
    dual-pol radar shows a fairly large broken area of heavy showers
    and thunderstorms impacting portions of northern AR through
    southeast MO and a small part of southwest IL. The activity
    continues to be strongly influenced by enhanced warm air
    advection/isentropic ascent and moisture transport across the
    region with deep layer southerly flow in place out ahead of a deep
    layer trough/closed low gradually ejecting east out of the
    southern Rockies.

    A southerly low-level jet of 40 to 50 kts in the 850/925 mb layer
    is noted in the latest VWP data across central to northern AR and
    across southeast MO and southern IL which is acting as a conduit
    for the poleward transfer of Gulf of Mexico moisture. PWs across
    the region are locally as high as 1.75 inches which are on the
    order of 2 to 3+ standard deviations above normal for this time of
    the year. This anomalous moisture environment will continue to
    favor a well-defined excessive rainfall threat with enhanced
    rainfall rates given the warm air advection and proximity of at
    least modest instability.

    MUCAPE values are on the order of 500 to 1000 J/kg up across
    northern AR through southeast MO and this is supporting a largely
    elevated convective environment at this time. Some increase in
    instability is expected going through mid-afternoon and this
    should favor some increase in the rainfall rates which will be
    capable of reaching 1 to 2 inches/hour with the stronger storms.

    Going through the mid-afternoon hours, additional rainfall totals
    of 2 to 4 inches will be possible, with the heaviest totals most
    likely over south-central to southeast MO based on the latest 12Z
    HREF guidance. The very wet/saturated antecedent conditions that
    are in place coupled with the arrival of additional rounds of
    heavy rain over the same area will continue to promote additional
    areas of flash flooding with locally considerable runoff concerns.

    Areas affected...Central to Northeast TX

    Concerning...Heavy rainfall...Flash flooding possible

    Valid 042145Z - 050345Z

    SUMMARY...Showers and thunderstorms with very heavy rainfall rates
    may produce some isolated to scattered instances of flash
    flooding, and especially within the more urbanized corridors
    heading through the evening hours.

    DISCUSSION...An upper-level trough and associated closed low
    continues to eject gradually across the southern Rockies which is
    driving a cold front well to the east across the southern Plains.
    This front has been crossing through central and northern TX this
    afternoon and is bumping up against a very moist and unstable
    environment that is characterized by MLCAPE values of 1500 to 2500
    J/kg and PWs of 1.5 to 1.75 inches.

    A major driver of the moisture and instability transport continues
    to be a well-defined low-level jet that is locally reaching 40 to
    50 kts, and the latest GOES-E GeoColor satellite imagery shows a
    substantial amount of cloud street activity ahead of the
    approaching cold front.

    Increasingly divergent flow aloft associated with the ejecting
    height falls/DPVA will favor convection along and just ahead of
    the cold front becoming more organized and widespread heading
    through the evening hours, and especially with the strongly
    favorable thermodynamic environment. A substantial level of
    effective bulk shear is in place that will be conducive for a
    combination of multicell and supercell activity that aside from
    severe weather hazards will be conducive for producing high
    rainfall rates.

    The convective mode along and ahead of the front will likely
    attain a QLCS mode in time, and with a southward extension that
    will eventually include areas of south-central TX including
    eastern portions of the Hill Country by later this evening.
    Rainfall rates may reach as high as 2 inches/hour with the
    stronger convective cores heading through the evening hours.

    Generally the antecedent conditions across central to northeast TX
    are on the dry side, but the convective evolution over the next
    several hours will be conducive for some 2 to 4 inch rainfall
    amounts which may end up being locally higher if any cell-training
    or cell-merger activity takes place. Some isolated to scattered
    instances of flash flooding will be possible and especially within
    the more urbanized corridors.

    Areas affected...Eastern OK...West-Central to Northwest
    AR...Southwest MO

    Concerning...Heavy rainfall...Flash flooding likely

    Valid 042155Z - 050355Z

    SUMMARY...Well organized bands of showers and thunderstorms will
    continue through the evening hours. Heavy rainfall rates and wet
    antecedent conditions are expected to result in scattered to
    numerous areas of flash flooding this evening. Some locally
    significant and life-threatening impacts will be possible.

    DISCUSSION...A strong deep layer trough and associated closed low
    continues to advance very slowly across the southern Rockies and
    toward the southern High Plains. A strong cold front associated
    with this continues to gradually advance eastward with a notably
    unstable and highly sheared environment focused out ahead of it.
    Strong and well organized bands of convection are seen in GOES-E
    IR satellite imagery and dual-pol radar focusing across eastern OK
    with separate clusters of convection noted across portions of
    western AR and southwest MO.

    MLCAPE values ahead of the cold front over eastern OK and western
    AR are as high as 1500 to 2500 J/kg, and this instability axis has
    been gradually nosing up into areas of southwest MO over the last
    couple of hours. A southerly low-level jet of 40 to 50 kts remains
    in place across the region, and this will drive strong moisture
    and instability transport through the evening hours as the cold
    front off to the west approaches the region.

    Strong and well organized bands of convection including some
    occasional supercell structures are expected to result in heavy
    rainfall totals this evening over areas of especially east-central
    OK, northwest AR and southwest MO. This is where there will be
    concerns for some cell-training and rainfall rates capable of
    reaching 1.5 to 2.5 inches/hour. PWs are already running locally
    near 1.75 inches and with the enhanced instability/shear profiles
    and moisture transport across the region, the rates should be
    efficiently high.

    Additional rainfall amounts by late this evening of 2 to 4 inches
    are expected, with isolated heavier amounts of 5+ inches possible
    where areas of cell-training are maximized. The experimental WoFS
    and latest HREF guidance generally supports these amounts on the
    mesoscale level. Given the additional rainfall, and the wet
    antecedent conditions, scattered to numerous areas of flash
    flooding are likely. Locally significant and life-threatening
    impacts will be possible this evening which will include some of
    the more urbanized locations.

    Areas affected...Central and Eastern MO...West-Central and
    Southwest IL

    Concerning...Heavy rainfall...Flash flooding likely

    Valid 042220Z - 050420Z

    SUMMARY...Additional rounds of heavy showers and thunderstorms
    going well into the evening hours will maintain strong concerns
    for instances of flash flooding.

    DISCUSSION....GOES-E IR satellite imagery in conjunction with
    dual-pol radar shows broken areas of heavy showers and
    thunderstorms arriving across west-central to southwest MO with
    separate areas of convection noted farther east across portions of
    central and eastern MO. The activity continues to be strongly
    influenced by strong warm air advection/isentropic ascent and
    moisture transport across the region. This continues to be
    facilitated by persistent and strong deep layer southerly flow out
    ahead of a deep layer trough/closed low edging out into the
    southern High Plains from the southern Rockies.

    A southerly low-level jet of 40 to 50 kts remains in place and is
    nosing up across much of western AR and southern MO, and this is
    overrunning a warm front seen lifting north currently through
    northwest AR and southern MO. PWs across the region are locally as
    high as 1.75 inches which again are on the order of 2 to 3+
    standard deviations above normal for this time of the year. This
    will continue to favor an environment conducive for enhanced
    rainfall rates going through the evening hours and especially with
    the low-level jet yielding a gradual and steady increase in
    instability.

    MLCAPE values have risen to 500 to 1000 J/kg across all of
    southern MO, with values locally approaching 1500 J/kg across
    southwest MO. This coupled with strong forcing and shear
    parameters going through the evening hours will strongly support
    additional bands or clusters of heavy showers and thunderstorms.
    Areas of central and eastern MO north of the warm front will have
    concerns heading through this evening for repeating rounds of
    convection and cell-training that will yielding enhanced rainfall
    totals. Some of this may also impact areas of west-central to
    southwest IL.

    These additional rains will be on top of the earlier rainfall and
    will be falling on already very sensitive soil conditions. The
    latest HRRR guidance and HREF footprint suggests additional
    rainfall amounts through late this evening of 2 to 4 inches with
    isolated heavier amounts not out of the question. Given the
    environment, these rains are expected to result in additional
    instances of flash flooding.

    Areas affected...northeastern TX/southeastern OK into western AR
    and central/southern MO

    Concerning...Heavy rainfall...Flash flooding likely

    Valid 050354Z - 050915Z

    SUMMARY...A slow moving axis of heavy rain will result in
    continued flash flooding from northeastern TX/southeastern OK into
    western AR and central/southern MO through 09Z. Rainfall rates of
    1-2 in/hr should result in an additional 2-4 inches of rain
    (locally higher), atop saturated soils.

    DISCUSSION....03Z radar imagery and surface observations placed a
    SW to NE axis of thunderstorms from northeastern TX into
    northwestern AR and southern/eastern MO, out ahead of a cold front
    located west of the convective line. The convective line was
    nearly coincident with the front over northeastern TX, but was
    located increasingly east of the cold front into AR/MO as one
    moves north, located along an outflow boundary. The orientation of
    the convective axis matching the mean southwesterly steering flow
    has allowed for training with MRMS-derived rainfall rates of 1 to
    locally over 2 in/hr since 00Z. 03Z SPC mesoanalysis data showed
    MLCAPE was only about 500 J/kg along and immediately ahead of the
    convective line/outflow boundary but anomalous precipitable water
    values of 1.7 to 1.9 inches and divergence aloft within the
    right-entrance region of a 110-130 kt jet max over the
    middle/upper MS River Valley was leading to enhanced lift and
    efficient rainfall production.

    Infrared satellite imagery showed a gradual warming of cloud tops
    over the region since 00Z, but occasional bursts of colder cloud
    tops continued to occur. Following trends in radar imagery over
    the past few hours and understanding that height falls downstream
    of a slow moving upper trough axis over the TX Panhandle will only
    gradually push off to the east through 09Z, the axis of heavy rain
    is only expected to slowly shift eastward. There could be
    relatively faster movement with the rainfall axis located in MO
    compared to locations farther south, but regeneration and training
    of thunderstorms to the southwest could allow for a prolonged
    duration of heavy rain for some locations as cells move back to
    the north. Some gradual weakening of CAPE is anticipated through
    the night but strong forcing for ascent should maintain periods of
    high rainfall rates with 1 to 2 in/hr (locally higher) gradually
    translating toward the east through 09Z. Given heavy rain which
    has impacted northwestern AR over the past 48 hours, and the
    sensitive terrain of the Ozarks, additional flash flooding will be
    likely, with locally significant impacts possible through 09Z.
    Additional totals of 2 to 4 inches (locally higher) can be
    expected, with northern AR into southern MO possibly seeing the
    greatest additional rainfall over the next few hours.

    Areas affected...Central Texas

    Concerning...Heavy rainfall...Flash flooding likely

    Valid 050400Z - 050800Z

    SUMMARY...Flash flooding likely as storms producing up to 3 inch
    per hour rainfall rates train over/near San Antonio and Austin.
    Urban flash flooding an increasing concern.

    DISCUSSION...A mesolow that has developed along a very slow moving
    cold front draped over central Texas is tapping into 30-35 kt
    southeasterly flow of Gulf moisture at 850 mb. This low and fronts
    are providing ample forcing for thunderstorms that have a history
    of producing 3 inch per hour rainfall rates northwest of San
    Antonio. The storms are aligned parallel to the I-35 corridor. As
    the storms grow upscale, they're backbuilding southwestward
    towards the Rio Grande. For the very near-term there is little
    pushing the front as the southeasterly flow ahead of the front is
    being countered by 10-20 kt NNW flow of dry air behind the front.
    Since these air flows are almost exactly antiparallel to each
    other, they're supporting the mesolow that has formed west of San
    Antonio. Further, they will work to keep the synoptic setup from
    moving too much for the next few hours.

    An approaching upper level shortwave over northwest Texas is
    gradually moving east towards the storm complex. This will
    increasingly work to push the complex of storms towards the east
    faster, which will consequently reduce the flash flooding threat
    with time. CAMs guidance is in good agreement in this scenario,
    albeit with variable timing due to poor handling of the current
    storms.

    The storms are currently over Austin and are just about into the
    San Antonio metro at the time of this writing. Expect a
    multiple-hour period of heavy rain associated with the storms.
    Considering the reduced FFGs associated with the urban centers,
    urban flash flooding is an increasing concern over the next few
    hours until the aforementioned shortwave moves the storms east of
    the I-35 corridor.

    Areas affected...mid-MS Valley into central AR and the Arklatex

    Concerning...Heavy rainfall...Flash flooding likely

    Valid 050930Z - 051530Z

    SUMMARY...Flash flooding is expected to continue from near and
    south of the St. Louis metro/mid-MS Valley southwestward into the
    Arklatex through 15Z. While rainfall rates will be lowering
    overall, occasional pockets of higher rates will maintain areas of
    flash flooding, especially atop saturated soils.

    DISCUSSION...Regional radar imagery at 09Z showed an elongated
    axis of showers and thunderstorms which stretched from the St.
    Louis metro into south-central MO, west-central AR and the
    Arklatex. This axis was located along a combined cold/stationary
    front and outflow boundary which was coincident with the leading
    edge of heavy rain. Trends in rainfall intensity have shown a
    decrease in higher rainfall rates over the past few hours as
    instability has been lowering. 09Z SPC mesoanalysis data showed
    MLCAPE values were at or less than 500 J/kg just ahead of the
    combo front/outflow boundary from MO into AR, but increased to
    1000+ J/kg over TX. However, the southern portion of the
    front/outflow was progressing steadily toward the east, to the
    south of weak wave located ~40 miles southeast of FSM, limiting
    the flash flood threat for these southern locations. To the north,
    the front/outflow has been very slow to progress with locations
    just south of I-44 in eastern MO to the St. Louis metro containing
    repeating and training echoes for the past 2-3 hours.

    Water vapor imagery showed the former closed mid-level low over
    the southern High Plains has begun to open up and elongate from
    SSW to NNE. Just ahead of the elongating upper vorticity max was a
    GOES-East DMV sampled 130+ kt jet streak over eastern KS,
    providing increased lift via strengthening divergence aloft over
    northern AR into MO within the right-entrance region. As the mid
    to upper-level trough axis continues to translate east, it is
    forecast to acquire more of a neutral tilt with the downstream jet
    streak allowing for an extended period of enhanced lift over MO.

    Therefore, while instability will continue to gradually lower
    until sunrise (~12Z), dynamic forcing will support occasional
    pockets of higher rainfall rates within areas of training that
    will continue to support pockets of rainfall rates of 1-2 in/hr
    within an anomalous moisture axis containing PWATs up to 1.8
    inches. This potential will exist from near the Arklatex to the
    central and southern MO/IL border, overlapping portions of the
    region which have seen heavy rainfall over the past 24 hours.
    Overlap of additional rainfall with prior rainfall is expected to
    be greatest across MO into northern AR, but at least an isolated
    flash flood threat will continue for locations farther south into
    northwestern LA and northeastern TX. Additional rainfall totals of
    2-3 inches are expected through 15Z.

    Areas affected...AR/MS border into western TN/KY and the lower OH
    Valley

    Concerning...Heavy rainfall...Flash flooding possible

    Valid 060532Z - 061115Z

    SUMMARY...Training/repeating rounds of showers and thunderstorms
    may produce a couple areas of localized flash flooding through 11Z
    from the AR/MS border into western TN/KY and the lower OH Valley.
    Rainfall rates up to 3 in/hr will be possible, although 1-2 in/hr
    should be more common. Coverage is expected to remain localized.

    DISCUSSION...Regional radar imagery showed a broken axis of
    showers and thunderstorms stretching from southwestern IN into the
    lower MS Valley at 05Z, along and ahead of a slow moving cold
    front. 05Z data from the SPC mesoanalysis showed that MLCAPE of
    500-1000 J/kg extended from the lower MS Valley into southwestern
    TN with weak (<500 J/kg) MLCAPE and MUCAPE to the north into the
    lower OH Valley. Slow eastward movement of the boundary and
    anomalous moisture (PWATs of 1.5" along the IN/KY border,
    increasing to near 2.0" along the AR/MS border) were supporting
    locally high rainfall rates within areas of training. Peak
    rainfall rates were observed in the 2.5 to 2.7 in/hr range in
    Lauderdale County in western TN just prior to 05Z but that axis of
    heavy rain has since shifted east.

    Forecast movement of the boundary is for slow but steady eastward
    progress northward of northern TN, but for nearly stationary
    movement south of Memphis. Water vapor imagery showed a subtle
    shortwave trough over western LA into the Gulf with slight
    buckling of the downstream flow over the lower MS Valley which may
    help to support a weak surface wave along the front in LA and
    stalling of the front to its immediate north. 25-35 kt of 925-850
    mb flow from the S to SSW (despite gradual weakening overnight)
    may allow for the repeated regeneration of showers/thunderstorms
    over the AR/MS border with areas of training toward the NNE just
    ahead of the slow moving front. Rainfall rates of 1-2 in/hr
    (locally higher) will be possible within axes of training
    resulting in 2 to 3 inches (locally higher) through 11Z.

    Farther north, the flash flood threat is expected to be more
    limited due to the eastward progression of the cold front, limited
    instability and the departing of right-exit region ascent tied to
    a 120-140 kt over IL/IN/MI. However, an isolated flash flood
    cannot be completely ruled out overnight.

    Areas affected...Central and Northeast LA...Southwest MS

    Concerning...Heavy rainfall...Flash flooding possible

    Valid 061400Z - 061800Z

    SUMMARY...Slow-moving areas of heavy showers and thunderstorms are
    expected to continue through the morning hours. Some localized
    areas of flash flooding will be possible, and especially given
    very high rainfall rates and some cell-training concerns.

    DISCUSSION...The latest GOES-E IR satellite imagery in conjunction
    with dual-pol radar shows slow-moving areas of heavy showers and
    thunderstorms focusing along and just ahead of a quasi-stationary
    front situated from southwest LA northeastward through
    west-central MS. The convection has been showing persistence and
    localized expansion in coverage over the last couple of hours, and
    is being influenced by proximity of a weak area of surface low
    pressure along the front.

    This is yielding an axis of relatively strong low-level moisture
    convergence which is also embedded within a somewhat unstable
    boundary layer characterized by MLCAPE values of around 1000 J/kg.
    The upper-level flow over the northwest Gulf Coast region is also
    seen becoming increasingly divergent and this is also facilitating
    deeper layer ascent with a low-level convergent response ahead of
    the aforementioned wave of low pressure.

    Recent MRMS data has been showing some of the active areas of
    convection over central LA producing rainfall rates of as much as
    2 to 3 inches/hour and this is being aided by PWs of 1.75 to 2
    inches which are about 2 standard deviations above normal for this
    time of the year.

    Additional rainfall amounts of up to 3 to 5 inches will be
    possible by late this morning given the slow cell-motions and
    occasional cell-training concerns. This is supported by the 12Z
    HRRR guidance, and this may result in some localized areas of
    flash flooding. The main threat will tend to be over central to
    northeast LA, but some of this could potentially spread into
    portions of southwest MS by later this morning.

    Areas affected...Portions of the FL Panhandle...Southern and
    Eastern GA...SC Midlands and Lowcountry

    Concerning...Heavy rainfall...Flash flooding likely

    Valid 062315Z - 070515Z

    SUMMARY...Heavy showers and thunderstorms will continue to
    generally increase in coverage and concentration heading into the
    overnight hours. There will be concerns for extreme rainfall rates
    and some cell-training which is expected to result in scattered to
    numerous areas of flash flooding. Some of this may become
    particularly significant and life-threatening.

    DISCUSSION...Deep layer tropical moisture transport continues into
    the Southeast U.S. well to the north of Hurricane Rafael which is
    currently crossing western Cuba. The latest CIRA-ALPW imagery
    shows strong concentrations of this tropical moisture in the low
    and mid-levels of the vertical column, and overall the PWs now up
    across the FL Panhandle into central and southern GA have risen
    into the 2.25 to 2.5 inch range based on some of the polar
    microwave and GPS data.

    This moisture transport continues to work in tandem with MLCAPE
    values of as much as 1000 to 1500 J/kg and proximity of a surface
    trough to promote numerous areas of heavy showers and
    thunderstorms. Radar generally shows the greatest concentrations
    of convection focused over areas of southern and eastern GA and
    into portions of the central SC. The flow aloft continues to be
    increasingly divergent which is showing up well in the GOES-E IR
    satellite imagery along with the expansion of cooling convective
    tops as favorable upper-level jet divergence sets up.

    The latest 18Z HREF guidance and HRRR solutions support locally
    some additional expansion of convection along with a likelihood
    for this activity to become increasingly concentrated and focused
    over areas of east-central GA and potentially edging into parts of
    the SC Midlands and Lowcountry heading into the overnight hours.

    The deeply tropical environment coupled with the level of
    instability and low to mid-level shear may favor some particularly
    high rainfall rates overnight. Some of these rates may reach 2 to
    4 inches/hour and will tend to be maximized with any mesocyclone
    activity that occurs near the aforementioned surface trough axis.
    The cell-training concerns associated with these rates will favor
    additional rainfall totals of 4 to 6 inches by midnight with
    locally heavier amounts possible.

    Dry antecedent conditions at least in the short-term will continue
    to locally mitigate the flash flood threat, but as these extreme
    rainfall rates materialize and persist into the overnight hours,
    there will eventually be scattered to numerous areas of flash
    flooding, and some of this may become significant and
    life-threatening.

    Areas affected...Southeast GA...Eastern SC...Eastern FL
    Panhandle...

    Concerning...Heavy rainfall...Flash flooding likely

    Valid 070500Z - 071100Z

    SUMMARY...Flash flooding likely to continue with slow
    moving/stationary PRE-like precipitation shield. Embedded
    convective cells with 2-2.5"/hr may result in 5-8" totals thru 12z
    resulting in significant flash flooding.

    DISCUSSION...Regional RADAR mosaic depicts a broad mesoscale
    complex across stretching from the central GA/FL state line
    through southeast GA into the coastal plain of SC. Frontal-like
    features are starting to be more well defined, with surface 04z
    surface analysis suggesting a weak low near VDI as well as a
    meso-low responding to very strong convective complex near VLD. A
    surface trof/effective developing front extends northeast through
    the pressure trof to about DYB/CHS providing a favorable boundary
    for further ascent.=20

    RAP analysis continues to denote a very strong divergence
    signature at the right entrance of a passing polar jet across the
    Carolinas along with modest diffluent pattern over SE GA/N FL as
    contribution from anticyclonically curved outflow jet from
    periphery of approaching Tropical Cyclone Rafael. This
    divergence signal is slowly lifting north east, but its
    contribution to the development of the sfc to low level wave and
    encouragement of strengthening southeasterly confluent return
    moisture flow off the Gulf stream, is providing deep moisture flux
    convergence and isentropic ascent across the aforementioned
    boundary. CIRA LPW shows a marked increase in moisture generally
    parallel to the FL coast with 1.15" Sfc to 850mb moisture advected
    northeast on 25-30kts orthogonal to the boundary and as far
    northwest into GA toward Macon, GA. CIRA LPW also notes that
    solid core of 700-300mb moisture resides across the northeast Gulf
    through South Carolina resulting in total values over 2-2.25".=20
    While the profile is solidly saturated, there is sufficient low
    level heating to support weak to modestly unstable air with
    750-1250 J/kg of MLCAPE remaining along and southeast of the
    boundary, so embedded convective elements will remain likely
    through the overnight period...likely with SE to NE 'finger-like'
    filaments as the overall onshore flow is strong to support about
    5kts of southeast propagation.

    This will allow for a broad complex of moderate showers to remain
    across SE GA into SC where heavy rainfall has already resulted in
    flash flooding conditions additional 2-4" totals on .5-1"/hr rates
    can be expected. However, it is those embedded convective
    elements with back-building that are of greatest concern. Overall
    trends would suggest band of confluence showers/TCus off the Gulf
    stream lifting north into SW SC will likely result in the greatest
    potential totals, nearly all 00z Hi-Res CAMs support a localized
    maxima in the vicinity from Bulloch to Colleton counties (HREF
    neighborhood probability of 5"/6hr over 50%), providing solid
    confidence there.

    However, a secondary area of concern along the southern-most
    flanking line of the effective boundary in south-central GA
    remains a bit less certain...but already been very prolific near
    Valdosta, GA. With an exiting shortwave/right entrance region,
    there remains some veering of low level flow to maximize sfc to
    boundary layer moisture flux convergence in proximity to the
    greatest remaining instability pocket across the eastern portion
    of the FL panhandle across southern GA. Isallobaric response will
    likely remain the driver of this flux convergence and risk for
    2-3"/hr rates. Deeper layer flow suggests this area of
    convergence will drift north and westward toward an area of
    lowered FFG values from prior heavy rainfall recently. As such,
    while confidence that this area will be able to maintain relative
    to areas northward, the risk for more isolated but heavier
    rainfall rates and excessive totals remains.

    Areas affected...Southeast GA...Southern SC...

    Concerning...Heavy rainfall...Flash flooding likely

    Valid 071010Z - 071530Z

    SUMMARY...Flooding likely to continue though potential for intense
    rain-rates capable of inducing flash flooding reducing with time
    and overall coverage.

    DISCUSSION...A large area of 4-10" rainfall extends across eastern
    GA into southwest to south-central SC with slow expansion toward
    the coastal Plain over the past few hours. Large scale ascent
    pattern remains fairly strong with upper-level divergence pattern
    along right entrance of broad polar jet across the Carolinas.=20
    However, the area is shifting east-northeast and reducing
    slightly. Still, this is maintaining a solid dual fetch of
    low-level flow from the northeast Gulf as well as off the Gulf
    stream parallel to the NE FL/GA coast. Cold pool from the heavy
    rainfall continues to allow for a moderately steep isentropic
    boundary across the area from SE GA into the Low Country, with a
    very slow east-southeast drift due to the responding low level
    inflow from the south-southeast. VWP denotes continued 20-25kts
    of SE flow nearly orthogonally intersecting the boundary and
    northeasterly flow across central SC. CIRA LPW and RAP analysis
    denote deep profile of highly anomalous moisture with values of
    2.25" through depth with sfc-850mb over from .9" to 1.15" across
    the area of concern; so dynamics and moisture continue to be in
    place to maintain rainfall efficiency.=20

    However, unstable air mass continues to diminish in areal coverage
    and intensity as the profile becomes more staturated and warms
    aloft; restricting itself to the Gulf Stream and coastal GA where
    low level flow has been generally divergent before starting to
    accelerate into SE SC where convergence is maximized. Values of
    500-1000 J/kg remain but only along the upstream edge of the
    complex along the Savannah River Valley. As such, limited
    overall convection capable of rates over 1.5-2"/hr are expected
    over the diurnal minimum in activity of early morning/daybreak,
    mainly near/southeast of mid-level exiting shortwave seen near
    Wilkenson county, GA or at the 700-850mb low feature seen in RADAR
    in Montgomery county. Smaller localized spots of 2-4" totals
    remain possible to induce new incidents of flash flooding though
    the 15z period.

    Moderate downstream blow-off shield precipitation within the more
    gentle isentropic ascent pattern will maintain moderate rainfall
    rates across the flooded areas from Emanuel to Orangeburg with
    counties with occasional hourly rates exceeding .5". This will
    likely help to maintain the expanding riverine flooding as pluvial
    flooding continues to channel into localized creeks/streams. An
    additional 2-3" remains possible through the morning hours given
    favorable upstream redevelopment and training as the upper-level
    forcing moves northeast.

    As such, flooding will remain likely across the area of concern,
    though incidents of flash flooding are considered possible given
    reducing coverage/intensity required to exceed FFG where heavier
    rain did not fall last evening/overnight across coastal E GA/S Low

    Areas affected...Southeast GA into Far Southern South Carolina

    Concerning...Heavy rainfall...Flash flooding possible

    Valid 071534Z - 071930Z

    SUMMARY...Additional flooding is possible into the afternoon over
    parts of southeast Georgia into far southern South Carolina
    although the potential for intense rain-rates capable of inducing
    flash flooding should diminish with time.

    DISCUSSION...On-going convection capable of producing isolated
    areas of an additional 2 to 4 inches of rain will perisit over
    portions of southeast Georgia into far southern South Carolina
    with isolated spots receiving rainfall rates approaching 1.5 inche
    per hour. Large scale ascent pattern remains fairly strong with
    upper-level divergence pattern along right entrance of broad polar
    jet across the Carolinas. However, the area of heaviest rainfall
    rates has shifted south and east of the area hardest hit overnight
    and should continue to shift closer to the coast into th
    afternoon. Still, this is maintaining a solid dual fetch of
    low-level flow from the northeast Gulf as well as off the Gulf
    stream parallel to the NE FL/GA coast. Cold pool from the heavy
    rainfall continues to allow for a moderately steep isentropic
    boundary across the area from SE GA into the Low Country, with a
    very slow east-southeast drift due to the responding low level
    inflow from the south-southeast. CIRA LPW...RAP analysis and 12Z
    soundings denote deep profile of highly anomalous moisture with
    values of 2.25" through depth with sfc-850mb over from .9" to
    1.15" across the area of concern; so dynamics and moisture
    continue to be in place to maintain rainfall efficiency.=20

    However, instability should linger in an increasingly small areal
    coverage which should help limit overall convection capable of
    rates over 1.5 inches per hour and localized 2-4" totals remain
    possible to induce new incidents of flash flooding although any
    additional rainfall ovee areas soaked overnight will likely result
    in continued (if not worsening) ongoing flooding.=20

    404 PM EST Thu Nov 07 2024

    Areas affected...Parts of North Texas to Southwest Oklahoma

    Concerning...Heavy rainfall...Flash flooding possible

    Valid 072103Z - 080300Z

    SUMMARY...Showers and thunderstorms capable of producing heavy
    rainfall that results in areas of excessive rainfall will become
    more numerous during the afternoon and evening.

    DISCUSSION...An increase in the coverage of showers and
    thunderstorms is expected to continue this afternoon and evening
    in a region of low level convergent flow while the flow aloft
    becomes increasingly difluent/divergent. With the low level flow
    tapping an airmass with precipitable water values at or above 1.5
    inches gets drawn towards the region of low level
    convergence...any convection in the area should become
    increasingly efficient rainfall producers.

    Moisture transport will be working in tandem with MLCAPE
    values approaching 1000 J/kg and the approach of a low level
    surface warm front later in the afternoon as shown by the 12Z HREF
    and latest HRRR runs...helping to provide a focus for the
    organized convection.

    The expectation is that risk of excessive rainfall will initially
    be widely scattered and tied more to rainfall rates.=20
    However...the synoptic scale forcing of upper level divergence
    combined with the mid and low level mesoscale forcing suggests
    that the risk of excessive rainfall will continue to grow in
    coverage for the remainder of the afternoon and into the evening.

    Areas affected...Lower Pecos/Concho Valleys into Northwest Texas
    Big Country...

    Concerning...Heavy rainfall...Flash flooding likely

    Valid 080300Z - 080830Z

    SUMMARY...Slow moving/training thunderstorms with 1.75-2"/hr rates
    pose line of 2-4" totals with possible embedded 5+" resulting in
    likely incidents of flash flooding through the overnight period.=20

    DISCUSSION...GOES-E WV suite continues to show anomalously deep
    closed low over northern NM with broad southwesterly flow aloft
    crossing the Southern High Plains. While the upper-low is filling
    slowly, there are two main vorticity centers with the northern
    swinging around the NE side of the circulation int SE CO, while
    the base energy is starting to advance out of AZ. This continues
    to support a very strong and diffluent jet across much of western
    Texas providing a broad area of vertical ascent. Near the
    surface, the low level jet has been responding throughout the
    evening with solid 30 kt south-easterly flow. Initial surge of
    enhanced moisture has already intersected the deeper NNE to SSW
    convergence axis from NW TX toward the Lower Pecos River Valley
    and has brought total PWat values into the 1.5" range in proximity
    to the western edge of the instability gradient and has supported
    expanding clusters of thunderstorms with a few rotating updrafts
    within a cluster or two across E OK into the northern Concho
    Valley, with a few more individual cells further south. CIRA LPW,
    notes that a secondary surge especially in the surface to 850mb
    layer is starting to reach the Lower Pecos and into Concho Valley
    with .6 to .75" values at the nose of the 30kts, this will
    continue through the early overnight period and eventually expand
    along the length of the convergence axis (area of concern). This
    will increase convective coverage as well as moisture flux into
    the cells. Modest instability (1000+ J/kg) will be aided by the
    divergence aloft to maintain stronger updrafts and result in
    expanding downdrafts capable of 1.5-2"/hr.

    Greater concern is going to be residency of this
    ascent/convergence axis to allow for additional development
    (particularly upstream in SW TX where a weak 850mb low will be
    forming and lifting northward through the evening with the
    approaching height-falls/dPVA. As the base shortwave swings
    east, overall orientation of the flow will back more southerly and
    allow for deeper steering flow to align more with the generally
    stationary convergence axis. Cells further south near the
    surface low (between) SJT/BRD and frontal zone, cells may have
    increased depth of moisture flux...before becoming more elevated
    across Nw Texas. As such, training may result in a band of
    excessive rainfall totals of 3-4" with embedded spots over 5" not
    out of the realm of possibility. While areas of the Concho/Pecos
    Valley have higher FFG values, there remains solid likelihood of
    exceeding resulting in flash flooding conditions tonight. Lower
    FFG values from Nolan/Callahan and points north increase the
    potential for exceedance (<2"/hr & 2-2.5" in 3hrs). As such,
    flash flooding is considered likely and with above normal
    confidence given the overlapped weather elements and fairly solid
    agreement in the Hi-Res CAM suite.

    Areas affected...Western Oklahoma...Eastern Texas Panhandle...

    Concerning...Heavy rainfall...Flash flooding possible

    Valid 080320Z - 080900Z

    SUMMARY...Scattered clusters of elevated thunderstorms with
    1-1.5"/hr rates and possible training/repeating may result in a
    scattered incident or two of localized flash flooding given lower
    FFG values in the area.=20

    DISCUSSION...GOES-E WV suite depicts an anomalously strong (2-3
    standard anomaly) closed low across S CO/N NM with lead vorticity
    center starting to retrograde over the top of the parent center of
    the closed low. This is resulting in downstream backing of deeper
    layer flow, particularly in the 850-700mb layer providing
    sufficient moisture flux and weakly steeper lapse rates for some
    weak MUCAPE (about 500 J/kg or less) in proximity of the Red
    River. Solid/consistent convergence along the TROWAL axis that is
    generally along 100W along with this instability has sprouted and
    helped to maintain redevelopment of convective clusters across far
    NW Texas into SW OK. Solid moisture flux values on 30-35kts
    850-700mb veering flow and CIRA LPW values at .33-.5" through the
    layer (and totals of 1.25") has supported modest rainfall
    production with these elevated cells. Spots of 1-1.5"/hr rates
    have been seen and current trends along the TX/OK border suggest
    similar rates may be expected over the coming hours.=20

    As the vorticity center continues to retrograde, deeper southerly
    influence and stronger moisture flux from the south (see MPD 1138
    for additional upstream development) should help to maintain
    scattered potential for training/repeating elements through the
    early overnight period and as such, spots of 1.5-3" are possible.
    Ground conditions have been wetter than most areas across the
    Plains recently, with slightly above average deep soil moisture
    and so FFG values are slightly lower and within range of these
    hourly and 3hrly totals. As such, a spot or two of flash flooding
    is considered possible.=20=20=20

    Areas affected...Central to North TX...far South-central OK...

    Concerning...Heavy rainfall...Flash flooding possible

    Valid 080815Z - 081330Z

    SUMMARY...Flash flooding threat continues with slow moving
    thunderstorms but with reducing instability coverage and intensity
    should be reducing through 12z.

    DISCUSSION...GOES-E WV suite shows large scale upper-level closed
    low has moved to a more neutral orientation on its way toward a
    weak negative tilt over eastern NM. VWP and RAP analysis suggest
    surface to 850 cyclogenesis is starting to break off into a closed
    low across the Lower Pecos moving into the Concho Valley. GOES-E
    3.9um SWIR and RADAR mosaic note the backed/slowing low level flow
    near the splitting point out of the Rio Grande Valley has resulted
    in the southern most cell starting to lift with the forcing wave
    as it lifts north. Still, along and downstream of the low within
    the weak split jet flow aloft/along the best divergence axis
    aloft, a classic-wedge EIR pattern has formed though is starting
    to broaden and round with weakening overall flow and slow
    breakdown of the best ascent. Still, VWP 850-700mb flow remains
    solid for the next few hours with deep moisture flux convergence
    maximized with said axis from Runnels to Stephens to Jack counties
    in Northwest Texas. Total Pwats over 1.75" and modest but still
    supportive 500-1000 J/kg CAPE will maintain the potential for
    1.5-2"/hr rates for the next 3-4 hours, slowly waning with time.=20

    Deep layer steering will continue to allow for convective elements
    to align and train/repeat and will support 2-4" totals with higher
    values north and east of the surface wave. However, the overall coverage/breadth of the downdrafts may reduce the overall coverage
    of the 3-4" in favor of a broader area of 2-3" as the best upper
    level support reaches the Red River Valley into south-central OK.=20
    As such, while flash flooding is likely to continue where the
    swath of 3-6" from Runnels to Palo Pinto county as the last cells
    in the train move through; the probability of new incidents of
    flash flooding northward will become more isolated with time and
    so the risk reaches the possible flash flooding assignment
    category versus likely...though potential increases with any
    crossing of urban or traditionally prone localized areas across
    Northwest and Northern Texas through 14z.

    portions of northwestern LA

    Concerning...Heavy rainfall...Flash flooding possible

    Valid 082225Z - 090425Z

    Summary...1-2"/hr rainfall rates may result in 2-4" localized
    totals, isolated to widely scattered instances of flash flooding.

    Discussion...Convective coverage and intensity is increasing
    across a narrow (but clearly defined) warm sector late this
    afternoon, encompassing much of northern and eastern TX. The
    mesoscale environment is characterized by ML CAPE of 500-1500
    J/kg, PWATs of 1.6-1.8 inches (above the 90th percentile, per
    FWD/SHV sounding climatology), and effective bulk shear of 30-40
    kts. While forcing is rather limited (with DPVA and jet dynamics
    displaced to the northwest with the occluded low), there is
    sufficient moisture, instability, and shear to result in loosely
    organized convection. The stronger cells are capable of localized
    rainfall rates of 1-2"/hr, which may locally repeat to result in
    some 2-4" totals. With antecedent conditions being relatively dry
    (as 3-hr FFGs generally ranging from 2-4"), isolated to widely
    scattered instances of flash flooding are considered possible.

    Areas affected...Eastern TX...Adj. Northwest/Western LA...

    Concerning...Heavy rainfall...Flash flooding possible

    Valid 090400Z - 090900Z

    SUMMARY...Potential for intense but scattered clusters of cells
    with efficient rainfall production possibily resulting in
    localized flash flooding.=20

    DISCUSSION...03z surface analysis depicts a triple-point low near
    FF4 and TYR at eastern-most bulge in the progressive cold front
    across N Texas through to the Central Texas Coastal Plain. An
    ill-defined stationary front extends generally due east and
    demarcates sfc Tds in the high upper 60s/low 70s from lower values
    northward in NE TX. The upper-low pressing eastward and
    associated height-falls are diminishing with its filling and so
    low level response in wind flow has seen a marked decrease to
    20-25kts across the warm sector becoming more parallel to the cold
    front. Generally reducing flux and overall moisture convergence to
    maintain a broader area of ascent. However, this is resulting
    into increased orthogonal intersection with the the stationary
    front providing isentropic ascent/convergence where moisture
    remains most pooled. Total PWat values remain AoA 2", and while
    there is a weak connection to low level moisture from outer
    periphery of Rafael's moisture pool, the winds are generally below
    15kts and so not really connecting to increase, but more weakly
    maintain the moisture across the warm sector.

    Unstable air in the warm sector still is more than sufficient to
    promote stronger updrafts, but given the weakening flow cells may
    become a bit more clustered/isolated. MLCAPEs of 500-1000 J/kg,
    2" PWs and 20-25kts should still support downdrafts capable of
    1.75-2"/hr. The limiting factor is likely to be residency,
    probability of totals over 2.5-3" are likely to be limited to the
    strongest cores. Though there is some potential that expanding
    eastward development along the isentropic boundary into LA may
    allow for some repeating convection with slow eastward cell
    motions along the slowing front. As such, a widely scattered
    incident or two of 3-4" is not out of the realm of possibility and
    have the potential to result in localized flash flooding concerns
    with best chances along/downstream of the triple point and
    stationary front.=20=20

    225 AM EST Sat Nov 09 2024

    Areas affected...Far Southeast TX...Southwest LA...

    Concerning...Heavy rainfall...Flash flooding possible

    Valid 090725Z - 091200Z

    SUMMARY...Persistent redeveloping warm cloud tropical showers
    likely to proliferate over the next few hours with localized
    totals over 4" possible. Flash flooding is becoming increasingly
    possible through early morning.

    DISCUSSION...GOES-E 10.3um and LCH RADAR loop shows a few shallow
    topped cells across Hardin/Jefferson county that are starting to
    expand in coverage along a boundary layer convergence axis from
    Galveston Bay north-northeastward eastward of the approaching cold
    front. VWP and RAP analysis 850mb analysis shows 15-20kts of ESE
    flow slowing and stretch both northward toward the exiting
    northern stream shortwave associated with diffluent portion of the
    cyclonically curved 3H jet streak over E TX, and peripheral
    influence approaching tropical cyclone Rafael. This is resulting
    in solid speed convergence at the nose/pool of enhanced surface to
    850mb moisture (which further totals to near 2-2.2"). Proximity
    to the warmer theta-E off the Gulf, convective development has
    been fueled by sufficient 1500-2000 J/kg SBCAPE. While the overall
    depth of the updrafts are not very deep, the overall moisture flux
    convergence is sufficient for 2"/hr rates.=20

    Localized storm effects and approach of the cold front also have
    been aiding some flanking line development to counteract the slow north-northeast cell motions and allowing for increased rainfall
    totals over the last few hours in Hardin county. While much of
    the Hi-Res CAM suite has been deficient of development, the
    placement in those hi-res CAM fields seem to be displaced west and
    reduced in overall deeper layer convergence. One solution that
    appears to have this stronger convective axis is the FV3 CAM,
    which does suggest an narrower overall distance in the low level
    convergence coverage. Confidence is not very high given the lack
    of guidance support but observational trends. As such, flash
    flooding is considered possible, intense, but localized.=20=20=20

    605 AM EST Sat Nov 09 2024

    Areas affected...Southeast TX...Western LA...

    Concerning...Heavy rainfall...Flash flooding possible

    Valid 091100Z - 091600Z

    SUMMARY...Slow moving, highly efficient cells along the front will
    continue to produce pockets of heavy rainfall and totals capable
    of inducing localized flash flooding. Scattered totals over 3-5"
    remain possible.

    DISCUSSION...Deep layer convergence through the warm sector over
    the northern Gulf and southern LA continues to drive convective
    development along the slowing/approaching cold fronta across SE
    TX. Strong upper-level divergence at the inflection of the
    cyclonically curved jet with maximized diffluence aloft as further enhanced/expanded convective development and isentropic ascent
    along and east of the triple point northeast of JAS, TX. CIRA LPW
    shows enanced surface to 700mb moisture through the warm sector
    though stronger 700-500 moisture along the northern coreo of
    Rafael remains distant enough for stronger WAA ascent later today.
    So with some weak steepening of lapse rates, modest instability
    remains in proximity of the Sabine River Valley to the triple
    point and should help to maintain updraft strength and focus
    moisture flux convergence to support 2-2.5"/hr rates. Duration of
    heavy rainfall may be more limited further north towad the
    entrance of the jet/divergence maxima as it slides away with the
    speed max with time. Spots of 2-4" across west-central to
    north-central LA may result in possible flash flooding over the
    next few hours.

    Furhter south, the east-southeast surface to 850mb flow
    decelerates into a col/weak surface wave near BPT. As such,
    similar deep layer moisture convergence and slightly enahnced
    surface based CAPE of ~1500 J/kg (due to proximity to the warmer
    Gulf) is providings stronger updraft strength. Due to proximity
    of slower low to midlevel flow, cells have been a bit more
    stationary/slow moving with time and some suggestion of upstream
    redevelopment toward the south may allow for some repeating;
    duration may continue to result in very localized but intense
    rainfall up to 2.5"/hr and localized totals of 3-5" over the next
    few hours. Given higher natural FFG values (only locally reduced
    due to 5-8" totals over Hardin, E Liberty and NW Jefferson
    counties), flash flooding from similar cells may continue risk for
    flash flooding.=20=20=20

    Areas affected...southwestern and central LA and surrounding
    portions of Upper TX Coast

    Concerning...Heavy rainfall...Flash flooding likely

    Valid 091600Z - 092200Z

    Summary...Deep tropical moisture will support very high rainfall
    rates of 2-3"/hr with 6-hr totals of 3-6"+. Isolated to scattered
    instances of flash flooding are likely (and may locally be
    significant).

    Discussion...A stalling cold front is combining with deep layer
    tropical moisture transport from the southeast (in association
    with Tropical Storm Rafael) to result in significant moisture flux
    convergence into western LA and surrounding portions of the Upper
    TX coast. Precipitable water levels are indicated to be as high as
    2.2 inches (per CIRA advected layered precipitable water analysis
    and RAP mesoanalysis), which is well above the 90th percentile
    (per experimental ALPW sfc-850mb and 850-700mb percentiles and LCH
    sounding climatology) and more typical of late August to early
    September. Although instability is somewhat limited (500-1000 J/kg
    of ML CAPE), it remains sufficient for convection and is unlikely
    to be eroded with steady low to mid level moisture transport
    coinciding with peak diurnal heating. Likewise, deep layer shear
    of 20-30 kts will be supportive of organizing updrafts, while
    10-15 kts of deep layer flow will keep storm motions near a crawl
    (particularly so closer to the coast). All in all, a concerning
    mesoscale setup that will be supportive of locally significant
    flash flooding.

    Updated CAM guidance (12z HREF suite) is increasingly supportive
    of significant rainfall totals over the next 6 hours (HREF 40-km
    neighborhood probabilities for 5" exceedance, near the 10-yr ARI,
    threshold being near 15%), suggesting the potential for localized
    amounts of 3-6" (with rainfall rates of 2-3" due to the deep
    tropical moisture and slow storm motions). With much of this same
    area already having received 3-6" over the prior 6 hours (mainly
    areas west of Alexandria, as well as near Winnie, TX), the
    associated 4.0" 6-hr FFGs are likely underrepresentative of the
    flash flood threat. Given these antecedent conditons AND the
    possibility for rainfall amounts to overperform (given the ARW2
    solution of localized 6"+ totals), isolated to scattered instances
    of flash flooding are considered likely, and locally this flash
    flooding may be significant. The threat for significant flash
    flooding is also to likely extend beyond the next 6 hours, so a
    subsequent MPD is expected (with the threat likely becoming even
    more significant later this evening).

    Areas affected...south-central LA and surrounding portions of
    Upper TX Coast and southwest MS

    Concerning...Heavy rainfall...Flash flooding likely

    Valid 092200Z - 100400Z

    Summary...Deep tropical moisture will remain support of high
    rainfall rates (of 1-2"/hr) with additional 6-hr totals of 3-6"+
    likely. Locally significant flash flooding is expected to
    continue, and overall coverage of flooding is likely to become
    more numerous to widespread.

    Discussion...A wide band of rainfall with embedded heavier showers
    has persisted over the past several hours along a surface trough
    and ahead of a stalling cold front. Deep layer tropical moisture
    remains in place over southwestern LA and surroundings (in
    association with southwesterly low to mid level moisture transport
    from Tropical Storm Rafael), as indicated by precipitable water
    levels of 2.1-2.3 inches (per CIRA advected layered precipitable
    water imagery and RAP mesoanalysis). This tropical moisture is
    well above the 90th percentile (per experimental ALPW sfc-850mb
    and 850-700mb percentiles and LCH sounding climatology), and much
    more typical of late August to early September. While instability
    remains the primary limiting factor (limiting peak rainfall rates
    to 1-2"/hr), 250-500 J/kg of SB/ML CAPE has been sufficient for
    sustained heavy rainfall. Going forward, convection may continue
    to slowly shift to the southeast (depsite the front stalling near
    the LA/TX border), as SB CAPE has risen to 500-1000 J/kg over
    south-central LA and southwest MS. Deep layer shear has also
    increased a bit (to 25-35 kts), which should continue to be
    supportive of at least embedded organized updrafts (with
    diffluence aloft also improving with the right-entrance region of
    a broad 75 kt jet streak at 250 mb). And with deep layer flow as
    low as 15 kts, slow storm motions will continue to support a
    mesoscale setup capable of locally significant flash flooding
    (particularly over areas that have already received as much as
    3-6" of rain over the past 6-12 hours).

    Updated CAM guidance (18z HREF suite) remains supportive of
    additional significant to extreme rainfall totals over the next 6
    hours (HREF 40-km neighborhood probabilities for 5" exceedance
    threshold, also corresponding to the 10-yr ARI, as high as 50%),
    suggesting the potential for additional localized amounts of 3-6"+
    (through 04z). Much of this rainfall may occur near the already
    hard hit region in and around Alexandria, though propagation
    towards higher instability (south and east) appears to be a more
    favorable outcome (as suggested by several HRRR runs, as well as
    the ARW/ARW2/FV3 members of the HREF). Locally significant (to
    even extreme) flash flooding remains possible, conditional upon
    the rainfall axis remaining stalled over southwestern and central
    LA. Should the rainfall axis eventually shift towards the south
    and east, then additional numerous (to possibly widespread)
    instances of flash flooding will shift in tandem.

    Areas affected...Southwest to Central Louisiana...

    Concerning...Heavy rainfall...Flash flooding likely

    Valid 100330Z - 100900Z

    SUMMARY...Stationary axis of isentropic ascent/stationary tropical
    showers likely to maintain ongoing flash flooding across central
    Louisiana into the middle overnight period.

    DISCUSSION...Most meteorological parameters are continue to reduce
    with time; temperatures are coming down with loss of day-time
    heating and low level moisture has dropped into the low 70s, so
    instability is limited to this limited area of mid 70s over low
    70s Tds, with MLCAPE in the 500-1000 range. RADAR and GOES-E
    3.9um along with observations from VWP and surface obs suggest,
    easterly flow is starting to slack over the southern Bayous of
    central LA and adjacent Gulf slowly reducing deeper layer
    convergence along the rainfall reinforced cold front. Still, this
    is weak WAA over a modestly steep frontal slope to continue to tap
    weak convective development and moisture flux to support 1.5-2"/hr
    rates, given the total PWats remain near record values in the low
    2" range. Storm related outflow/isallabaric may result in a few
    embedded narrow cored cells that may occasionally tick above
    2"/hr.=20=20

    GOES-E WV shows cluster across SW to central LA remains at the
    nose of a split in upper-level flow/diffluence from anticyclonic
    outflow jet from Rafael over the northern Gulf and the
    cyclonically curved polar jet across E TX into AR. This helps to
    pull/stretch convective cores toward the northeast with weak
    inflow, balance southeast propagation from inflow and slow
    north-northeast cell motions to allow for very slow cell motion
    with very weak northeastward motion along the isentropical
    boundary and already flooded/lowered FFG values into far SW MS.=20
    Given the compromised soils the additional 2-3" with localized 4"
    maxima (in the embedded convective cores) will likely continue to
    result in rapid inundation/flash flooding that is occurring from N
    Calcasieu to Concordia parish.=20=20=20

    Concerning...Heavy rainfall...Flash flooding possible

    Valid 100800Z - 101200Z

    SUMMARY...Stationary isentropic boundary starting to dislodge from
    anchored position. Lingering scattered showers may intersect
    compromised soils/flooded areas to maintain localized flooding
    conditions over the next few hours.

    DISCUSSION...Regional RADAR loop shows stationary isentropic
    ascent boundary has recently encountered an increase in low level
    winds from 15-20kts to 20-25kts. This increase has allowed for
    the stable balance over the last 4-6hrs resulting in 6-12" of
    rainfall over N Allen/S Rapides Parishes to finally support an
    additional 3-5kts of propagation to the southeast. In addition,
    CIRA LPW and RAP TPW analysis suggest air within the increased ESE
    and SE flow is also starting to dry realitive to the peak core of
    moisture which is currently being ingested allowing for at least
    one more good surge of enhanced rainfall rates across Evangeline
    parish. Rates of 2-2.5" are likely to be short-lived maybe for
    1-1.5 more hours before further evaporating.=20=20

    Recent HRRR solution appears to be catching on the trend noted in
    RADAR/GOES-E SWIR with increased aggitated Cu along the stationary
    front across E TX into NW LA as well as tropical offshore cells
    along the outer edges/convergence bands of Rafael. ARW/ARW2
    solutions help with this devoltuion as well though timing remains
    a bit slow (typical of bias). Still, scattered showers in the
    vicinity of the saturated/flooded soils and with ample moisture,
    additional .5-1" totals may help maintain/prolong the flooding
    across central LA; as such, flash flooding remains possible for
    the next 3-4 hours, with reducing probability in time.

    Mesoscale Precipitation Discussion 1149
    NWS Weather Prediction Center College Park MD
    744 AM EST Sun Nov 10 2024

    Areas affected...Central LA into Southwest MS

    Concerning...Heavy rainfall...Flash flooding possible

    Valid 101243Z - 101613Z

    Summary...A localized flash flood risk will continue across
    portions of central Louisiana and southwest Mississippi into mid
    morning.

    Discussion...Radar imagery indicates heavy rainfall cores are
    persisting a bit longer than anticipated over portions of central
    LA into southwest MS this morning. The 12z sounding from New
    Orleans is indicative of the upstream environment feeding into
    this axis of rainfall...and it shows a saturated profile up to
    500mb with PWs around 2.1". The sounding dries significantly above
    500mb, but a moist and skinny CAPE profile below that continues to
    support efficient warm rain processes. Thus despite a lack of cold
    cloud tops, this activity continues to be capable of hourly
    rainfall around 2".

    Generally still expecting a downward trend in rainfall coverage
    and intensity as the morning progresses. The overall environment
    should continue to trend less conducive for excessive rainfall
    with lower level convergence gradually weakening and subsidence
    and drying continuing to increase in the mid to upper levels. With
    that said, recent radar and satellite imagery suggests a localized
    flash flood risk will continue for a few more hours. Recent HRRR
    runs have started to catch on to a bit more persistence of this
    activity, although these 10z and 11z runs are too far northwest
    with the rainfall max. Overall expecting additional rainfall of
    2-5" over the next couple hours, with the heaviest amounts likely
    staying pretty localized in nature.

    Areas affected...western and northern KY and surrounding portions
    of TN/IN/OH

    Concerning...Heavy rainfall...Flash flooding likely

    Valid 101400Z - 102000Z

    Summary...Additional localized totals of 2-3" likely to lead to
    isolated to scattered instances of flash flooding.

    Discussion...Streaks of moderate to heavy showers have been
    ongoing early this morning across much of western KY into far
    southern IN, producing hourly totals of 0.5-1.0" (with 3-hr totals
    as high as 2.0-3.0"). This efficient rainfall is occuring within
    the warm sector of a mature low pressure system, centered over the
    Midwest. A strong low-level jet (40-50 kts at 850 mb) is providing
    ample moisture transport into the region, and low-level (925-850
    mb) convergence is significant. This convergence is better
    visualized via isentropic analysis with upglide most evident on
    the 294K and 296K surfaces (centered near 900 mb) at 30-40 kts.
    Aloft, the right-entrance region of a 100 kt jet streak is
    providing divergence to offset the low-level convergence, and
    convection is expected to continue within this zone of highly
    anomolous moisture (with PWs near 1.6", indicated to be near the
    max moving average per BNA sounding climatology).

    While the 00z/06z CAMs mostly indiciate forward-looking 6-hr
    totals maximized near 1", the HRRR and FV3 are indicating
    localized totals closer to 1-2" (with 06z HREF 40-km neighborhood
    probabilities for 2" exceedance as high as 25%). Given that
    2.0-3.5" amounts have been recorded over the past 3-6 hrs (already
    at or exceeding corresponding FFGs), additional isolated to
    scattered instances of flash flooding are considered likely (as
    the FLASH CREST unit streamflow response is already fairly robust
    from southwest KY to the greater Louisville metro area).

    Mesoscale Precipitation Discussion 1151
    NWS Weather Prediction Center College Park MD
    427 PM EST Tue Nov 12 2024

    Areas affected...western WA

    Concerning...Heavy rainfall

    Valid 122123Z - 130900Z

    Summary...Areas of heavy rain will move into western WA this
    evening and overnight with occasional rainfall rates in excess of
    0.5 in/hr, especially across the Olympics. Peak 12 hour rainfall
    totals of 2 to 4 inches are expected across the favored upslope
    regions of the Olympics and Willapa Hills.

    Discussion...GOES West water vapor imagery at 21Z showed an upper
    level trough centered about 900 miles west of the Pacific
    Northwest coast, containing embedded shortwaves. One of the more
    notable shortwaves/vorticity maxima was reflected in the visible
    imagery with a well-defined swirl near 45N 143W. Surface and
    visible satellite data identified an occluded cyclone extending
    outward from a surface low near 50N 140W and widespread cloud
    cover extending downstream from the associated IVT plume ahead of
    the cold front.

    As the upper trough and embedded vorticity maxima continue to
    advance eastward through early tonight, a triple point low is
    forecast to develop by a consensus of the latest numerical
    guidance by 00Z just southwest of 50N 130W with northward movement
    overnight. The attendant occluded/cold front will likely remain
    progressive toward the south and east, reaching the Olympic
    Peninsula in the 06-09Z time frame along with the maximum IVT,
    forecast by the 12Z model consensus to near 800 kg/m/s along the
    coast. 850 mb winds are expected to peak into the 70-80 kt range
    from the SSW within precipitable water values of 1.0 to 1.1 along
    the WA coast.

    Rainfall intensity will gradually increase in the 00-06Z window
    with peak rainfall rates possibly exceeding 0.5 in/hr in the
    Olympics prior to 06Z (40-50 percent via 12Z HREF, but adjusted
    for the 18Z HRRR and 18Z NAM_nest). Those probabilities of 0.5+
    in/hr rates increase to just over 80 percent by 09Z for the
    Olympics. The low level moisture transport will favor the highest
    rates over SSW facing terrain, including the Willipa Hills,
    although the probabilities for 0.5 in/hr in southwestern WA are
    generally less than 10 percent for the overnight period via HREF
    output. While rainfall intensity will be increasing overnight, the
    greatest coverage of higher intensity rainfall will likely come
    with the arrival of the frontal boundary though limited
    instability may temper maximum rates a bit. Nonetheless, strong
    forcing for ascent ahead of the approaching upper trough axis,
    including increasingly diffluent flow aloft, should allow for
    localized 12 hour rainfall maxima of 2-4 inches across the favored
    terrain of western WA through 09Z. These rains are expected to
    increase the potential for minor flooding across the region, but
    mainly focused into the Olympics.

    Areas affected...Coastal and Cascades Ranges of E WA & E
    OR...Northwest CA...

    Concerning...Heavy rainfall

    Valid 130800Z - 131800Z

    SUMMARY...Progressive but potent slug of enhanced moisture flux
    along Coastal and Cascade Ranges producing 2-4" totals with
    occasional hourly rates to .5"/hr with greatest totals in SW
    facing orography increasingly so in SW OR/NW CA.

    DISCUSSION...GOES-W WV shows main core of the upper-low just south
    of 47N near 132.5W starting to slide northeast with upstream
    energy starting to dig the upper-trough, expecting to go more
    neutral tilt over the next 6-12hrs as it approaches the West
    coast. The 150kt jet core just rounding the base of the trough is
    broadening with large cirrus shield. GOES-AMV and RAP analysis
    note a split in the jet downstream northeast of the 40N130W
    benchmark; this is enhancing broader and more intense upper-level
    divergence along the Oregon coastline. Additionally, a weak
    inflection is developing in the low levels with upstream
    height-falls leading to sharper boundary layer moisture
    convergence along and downstream backing the progressive frontal
    zone a bit more flat to the mean steering flow and increasing
    deeper layer moisture convergence. CIRA LPW notes, 1-1.25" total
    PWat in this area where surface and slug of 850-700mb moisture
    overlap. Given 60-70kts of 850mb flow (~700-900 kg/m/s IVT),
    convergence is going to result in enhanced showers capable of
    .5-.6"/hr rates likely to intersect the northwest to central OR
    Coastal Range over the next few hours. So while the strength of
    orographic ascent will be consistent along the front, this
    slightly backed flow ahead of the inflection will have increased
    totals compared to the average 2-3" totals, some localized 3-4"
    values may occur before midday. Strength of AR and moisture flux
    may be supportive enough to bleed through the coastal range with
    some enhanced rainfall totals across the western slopes of the
    northern and central Oregon Cascades.

    To the north western WA...
    Post cold front showers will remain widely scattered, and with
    steeper lapse rates will support higher but much shorter duration
    rainfall across areas with modest 2-3" totals so far through the
    event, while NASA SPoRT soil saturation values are higher than
    normal, the burst nature is still not likely to result in any
    rapid inundation/flashy conditions but maintain above normal
    run-off.

    South of the inflection across SW OR into NW CA...
    The core of the AR moisture stream will remain along/ahead of the
    cold front, but will be narrowing as the mid-level moisture slug
    slides ashore and surface moisture band narrows/stretches in
    width. Height-falls will swing through later in the morning/early
    afternoon, but traditionally favorable southwesterly flow into
    generally steeper terrain and confluent 45-50kts of 850 flow
    around the Cape, prolonged moderate rainfall with streaks of
    enhanced showers up to .5"/hr are probable. This is still fairly gentle/typical for the boreal rain forests to handle much of the
    rainfall, and while run-off will be enhanced is not likely to
    result in any significant concerns that would not be for an
    ordinary AR. IVT values will be decreasing with reduced
    moisture/low level flow from 800 kg/m/s across the central OR
    coast toward 500-600 kg/m/s. Still, traditional orographic ascent
    will support spots of 2-3" by 18z.

    611 AM EST Wed Nov 13 2024

    Areas affected...South-central Louisiana...

    Concerning...Heavy rainfall...Flash flooding possible

    Valid 131110Z - 131635Z

    SUMMARY...Slow moving, efficient cells capable of 2.5"/hr rain
    rates. Training profile and upstream redevelopment pose risk of
    localized flash flooding with 3-4" totals possible.

    DISCUSSION...The remnant low level circulation of Rafael has been
    shearing north to south through a deep axis, but has retained a
    few convergent low-level bands and fairly robust core of anomalous
    deep layer moisture. Aloft, large scale ridge over-top the
    circulation is also being stretched/amplified along/ahead of
    height-falls coming out of the central Plains. As a result, weak
    850-500 DPVA is providing ascent and low level wind response to
    increase surface to boundary layer moisture convergence with 25kts
    of 850mb flow from the southeast cyclonically converging at the
    apex/downshear of the wave just south of central LA coastline. A
    core of enhanced inability also exists through this moisture
    transport axis with 2000-2500 J/kg of SBCAPE to provide strength
    to vertical development over the next few hours. Within this axis,
    CIRA LPW shows core of enhanced moisture with 1-1.1" in the
    sfc-850, and over .5" in the 850-700mb layer. Both are near the
    99th to maximum percentile for climatology in November.

    Current GOES-E SWIR/10.3um EIR along with RADAR denotes initial
    convective development near Marsh Island lifting north through the
    best convergence/confluence axis. Cells are initially weaker with
    1-1.5"/hr rates, but with increasing DPVA/strengthening of the
    winds strengthening convergence, coverage of cells capable of
    2-2.5"/hr are likely to become more numerous as winds strengthen
    to 20-30kts by 13-14Z. Deep layer moisture is confluent into
    increasing FGEN/moisture axis, deformation zone that extends into
    central LA and up the Lower MS River Valley/Delta Region. As
    such, a favorable upstream convergence should support upstream
    development for potential training/repeating into a slowly (0-5kt)
    eastward drifting moisture gradient. Modest effective bulk shear
    in the 25-30kt range, suggest some weak rotation to the updrafts
    could further slow forward propagation resulting in localized axis
    of 2-4".=20

    While current trends suggest most cells will remain near the coast
    in the near-term, mid-morning could see further downstream motions
    toward areas of recent heavy rainfall and saturated upper soil
    depths...while FFG value have rebounded, 0-40cm saturation ratios
    remain over .65 which is the 90th-95th percentile, suggesting
    increased runoff in more likely north of I-10 into central LA.=20
    Still, coastal regions may be more receptive and scattered flash
    flooding/rapid inundation is considered possible through 16z.

    Areas affected...south-central/southeastern LA into southwestern
    MS

    Concerning...Heavy rainfall...Flash flooding likely

    Valid 131630Z - 132130Z

    SUMMARY...Training and repeating of thunderstorms should maintain
    at least localized flash flooding from south-central and
    southeastern LA into southwestern MS. Localized rainfall rates of
    2 to 3+ in/hr will remain possible, falling atop locations which
    received heavy rain in recent days. Additional totals of 2 to 4
    inches will be possible (perhaps locally higher) through 22Z, but
    the coverage of these higher rainfall totals should remain
    low/spotty.

    DISCUSSION...Areas of training thunderstorms in and around the
    Lafayette metro have resulted in numerous reports of 4-6 inches of
    rain over the past 4-5 hours with hourly rainfall as high as 4
    in/hr. Heavy rainfall has been focusing along an inverted trough
    or weak frontal boundary extending northward from a weak/elongated
    low located just south of Marsh Island with the coldest cloud tops
    over southwestern MS into adjacent areas of LA at 16Z. 12Z
    soundings from LCH and LIX combined with Layered PW Imagery from
    CIRA showed the bulk of the nearly 2 inch precipitable water
    values are focused below 700 mb, with a fair amount of dry air in
    the middle and upper troposphere.

    Over the next 3-6 hours, the elongated area of low pressure/shear
    axis across LA is expected to slowly but steadily get pushed east
    ahead of a large-scale 700-500 mb trough moving east across the central/southern Plains. Surface to 850 mb convergence will shift
    into the southwestern quadrant of MS and southeastern LA through
    21Z where MLCAPE of 500-1500 J/kg is forecast to reside (highest
    to south) via the latest RAP guidance. Areas of training
    thunderstorms are expected to continue with 2 to 3+ in/hr rainfall
    rates at times, overlapping with areas that received heavy rain
    over the weekend and may remain hydrologically more sensitive to
    runoff.

    Farther east, a low level axis of convergence/leading edge of
    moisture return to the south of an East Coast surface ridge has
    been producing a few showers and thunderstorms. This area of
    convection is likely to shift east as well in a mostly progressive
    fashion, but an isolated threat for short term training could
    result in urban flooding for the New Orleans metro over the next
    few hours.

    Areas affected...MS River Valley into northern MS, western TN/KY,
    southwestern IN

    Concerning...Heavy rainfall...Flash flooding possible

    Valid 132200Z - 140400Z

    SUMMARY...Training thunderstorms across the lower MS/OH Valleys
    will be capable of 1 to 2+ in/hr rainfall rates and localized
    totals up to 3 inches through 04Z. Isolated flash flooding may
    occur as a result.

    DISCUSSION...Infrared satellite and radar imagery showed scattered
    showers and thunderstorms across the lower OH and MS Valleys into
    portions of central MS/western AL as of 2130Z. Forcing for ascent
    included lift ahead of a mid-upper level trough moving east
    through the central/southern Plains, with cells near and east of a
    low level (925-850 mb) confluence axis located across the lower MS
    Valley, which also extended northward into the lower OH Valley
    although not as strongly when compared to locations farther south.
    Low level warm advection was also contributing to heavier rainfall
    across the IN/KY border, located at the leading edge of 50-60 kt
    850 mb winds via VAD wind and short term RAP forecast data.
    Instability was somewhat limited however, with 500 to 1000 J/kg
    MLCAPE confined to central MS and elevated CAPE in excess of 500
    J/kg in pockets farther north into western KY via 21Z SPC
    mesoanalysis data.

    Water vapor imagery showed the mid to upper level trough over the
    central Plains acquiring a negative tilt which wil continue east
    into the overnight. Out ahead, diffluent flow across the lower OH
    Valley will aid in ascent with the slow eastward moving axis of
    low level confluence likely allowing for repeating/training rounds
    of heavy rain which could allow rates to reach into the 1-2 in/hr
    range through early overnight.

    To the south, across central/northern MS into western TN, locally
    higher instability should support greater intensity rainfall with
    ascent aided within the right entrance region of a 100-110 kt
    upper jet max located east of the advancing upper trough. The axis
    of low level confluence located in MS/western TN is expected to
    translate slowly but steadily toward the east over the next few
    hours which should limit training potential, however, periods of
    short-term training will still be possible, including the
    potential for more organized cells due to the combination of
    greater instability and favorable shear profiles. Rainfall rates
    of 1 to 2+ in/hr cannot be ruled out along with isolated areas of
    flash flooding through 04Z.

    Areas affected...Eastern MS...Much of AL...Far Western FL
    Panhandle...

    Concerning...Heavy rainfall...Flash flooding possible

    Valid 140255Z - 140830Z

    SUMMARY...Intense thunderstorms capable of a quick sub-hourly 1-2"
    near the front pose mainly urban flash flooding threat, while
    slower moving more scattered supercells within the Coastal Plain
    may result in a axis or two of 3-4" totals with similar localized
    flash flooding concerns through early overnight period.=20

    DISCUSSION...GOES-E WV suite depict slightly below average closed
    low crossing IA/MO with a well defined cold front/warm conveyor
    belt system across the Lower Ohio, Western Tennessee River Valleys
    extending south into MS where it is interacting with enhanced deep
    layer moisture and remnant low level circulation energy of ex-TC
    Rafael. CIRA LPW and RAP analysis denote enhanced tropical
    moisture and higher than normal theta-E air extending northward
    along a core of 30-35kt 850 southerly low-level jet. However, the
    deepest moisture and unstable air remains further south, generally
    in the lower 2/3rds of eastern MS into western AL, with maximum
    unstable air of 2000-2500 J/kg along the central Gulf Coast.=20
    Strong height-falls and right entrance ascent to 3H 100 kt Jet in
    the central MS Valley is providing the oblique but sufficient
    intersection with the cold front to generate convective cells from Starkville/Columbus MS southward to the tail of the
    front/inflection near the apex of the remnants of Rafael east of
    McComb. Given the stronger LLJ/divergence aloft remains displaced
    from best moisture/instability, cells still remain potent with
    capability of generating 1-1.5" total though with waning
    instability, updrafts continue to diminish from north to south
    over the next few hours. Still, there are urban targets along
    this track and with the sub-hourly totals near or over 1hr FFG
    particularly north and west AL and west central MS remains at low
    end risk for localized flash flooding for the next few hours.

    Further south, slightly backed flow as a result of the sheared
    inflection from ex-Rafael, moisture/instability axis is extended a
    tad eastward. Effective bulk shear is stronger to the north but
    given stronger SBCAPEs and backed low level flow, the potential
    for widely scattered supercells remains possible. Slower eastward
    propagation combined with natural slowing of rotating cells,
    allows for increased duration. Combined with broader updraft and
    enhanced directional convergence at the base of the updrafts,
    greater moisture flux of higher surface to 850mb moisture
    (gnerally 1.5"-1.75 per CIRA LPW through 700mb) will increase
    rainfall efficiency and localized duration. Rates of 2-2.5"/hr
    with localized spot of 3"+ possible in 1-2 hours pose a flash
    flood risk, especially given recent above average rainfall per
    AHPS and lowered FFG values in S AL. However, currently the best
    candidate cells is along/just south of Mobile Bay and in Greene
    county MS moving into Washington AL. As such, flash flooding
    remains possible through the early overnight period as well across
    S AL into far W FL panhandle.=20=20

    Areas affected...Far Southeast TX...Southwest to Central LA

    Concerning...Heavy rainfall...Flash flooding possible

    Valid 182200Z - 190400Z

    SUMMARY...An increase in coverage of showers and thunderstorms can
    be expected going into the evening hours. Heavy rainfall rates and
    potentially some areas of cell-training may foster some localized
    potential for flash flooding.

    DISCUSSION...As a deep upper-level trough pivots northeastward
    through the central Plains and toward the Midwest, a cold front
    will be gradually approaching the northwest Gulf Coast region.
    This front will be interacting with a very moist and increasingly
    unstable airmass out ahead of it this evening, and the result is
    expected to be an increase in the coverage of heavy showers and
    thunderstorms.

    PWs are quite high right now across southeast TX with values near
    or slightly above 2 inches, and these magnitudes are as much as 2
    to 3 standard deviations above normal for this time of the year.
    Meanwhile, MLCAPE values have risen to as much 1000 to 1500 J/kg
    and thus a moderate level of buoyancy has already pooled ahead of
    the front with the aid of daytime heating.

    A fairly strong southerly low-level jet of 30 to 40+ kts will be
    maintaining somewhat enhanced moisture transport off the Gulf of
    Mexico ahead of this front this evening. This coupled with the
    level of instability and favorable bulk shear should yield
    relatively organized bands or clusters of convection, including
    potentially some supercell activity, that will be capable of
    producing rainfall rates of 1 to 2 inches/hour. Initially the
    activity will be more focused over areas of far southeast TX, but
    should in time concentrate increasingly over southwest to central
    LA.

    Some of the more organized activity may involve some cell-training
    as the convection becomes aligned with the deeper layer mean flow,
    and this may result in the potential for locally excessive totals.
    The 12Z/18Z HREF guidance supports some 2 to 4 inch rainfall
    amounts with isolated heavier totals. A localized and mostly urban
    flash flood threat will exist as these bands of convection come
    through this evening.

    Areas affected...Eastern LA...Southern MS...Southern AL...Far
    Western FL Panhandle...

    Concerning...Heavy rainfall...Flash flooding possible

    Valid 191345Z - 191900Z

    SUMMARY...Highly anomalous deep moisture and strength of flux
    allowing for efficient rainfall production with progressive
    pre-frontal trough. Embedded slower moving rotating updrafts will
    enhanced localized rainfall totals of 3-5" resulting in possible
    flash flooding.

    DISCUSSION...GOES-E WV suite depicts a large scale closed low
    dominating the northern Plains with negative tilt lower scale wave
    moving through the western Great Lakes, this is driving a very
    strong mid to upper level jet across the Mississippi Valley which
    in turn is spurring an very broad and strong low-level jet out of
    the Tropics into the central Gulf of Mexico intersecting the
    central Gulf Coast. CIRA LPW shows nose of 1-1.25" surface to
    850mb starting to near the southern TN boarder while as broad as
    central LA to western FL Panhandle. Combined with 40-45kts of
    southerly 850mb winds and 60-90 degrees of directional
    convergence; brings moisture flux values into the 99th and maximum
    percentile rankings over a vast area of the Deep South.

    An embedded shortwave/inflection can be analyzed through depth
    across S MS at the broad left entrance of the 120kt polar jet
    across AR/N MS, but also a weak diffluence region across S MS/AL
    in the wake of an exiting sub-tropical jet streak that is rounding
    the downstream large scale ridge into the Southern Appalachians.=20
    So while the height-falls are driving the cold front forward,
    there is weak surface to 850mb wave in S MS that is backing
    low-level flow and increasing flux convergence in that region, as
    well as further upstream in the coldest tops/highest unstable air
    across the mouth of the MS River and northern Gulf of Mexico. The
    instability gradient is along the Gulf Coast and as a result
    strongest cells/tops to -83C have been measure and with moisture
    values of 2.5-2.75", rates of 3"+/hr are possible across SE LA for
    the next hour or so. Near the surface inflection, weaker
    instability but solid flux convergence and increased bulk shear
    will allow for short-term efficient rainfall production to 2"/hr;
    with the vast majority falling in a sub-hourly manner given
    forward progress. This should result in possible flash flooding
    for urban and prone areas across E LA into S MS/S AL over the next
    few hours as the pre-frontal convergence zone slides east.=20

    As the morning progresses, bulk shear values increase over 40kts
    along and east of the inflection as it slides slower to the east
    in the further enhancing right entrance (increasing to 130-140kts)
    300mb jet. This will slow the frontal zone as well, and allow for
    some modest/weak instability to build back west to the boundary.=20
    Embedded rotating updrafts have a higher probability of occurring
    and with backed/increased directional moisture flux and reduced
    forward speed/propagation... downdrafts with capability to produce
    2.5-3"/hr rates may occur. Recent HRRR and 00z Hi-Res CAMs hint
    at this solution across the lower 2-3 rows of counties in
    MS/AL...combine this localized increase of 2-4" with the preceding
    progressive but intense showers on the pre-frontal trough and
    localized 3-5" totals become increasingly possible. Given the
    bulk of unstable air remains offshore, there is some reduction in
    confidence that updrafts will be strong enough to overcome the
    increased bulk shear to support these increased rates. However,
    the potential remains and would be the most likely driver to
    potential flash flooding events even into rural areas where FFG
    values of 3-4"/3hrs are more representative of soil conditions.=20=20
    As such, flash flooding is considered possible through the morning
    into early afternoon.

    Areas affected...Coastal Ranges of WA, OR and Northwest CA...

    Concerning...Heavy rainfall

    Valid 192000Z - 200630Z

    SUMMARY...Approach of occluded/cold front into WA/OR after 00z;
    start of prolonged moderate rainfall with strong Atmospheric River
    into SW OR/NW CA...

    DISCUSSION...GOES-W shows a classic evolution of a rapidly
    deepening 'bomb' cyclone just north of 45N132W, with impressive
    comma-head baroclinic shield expanding along the NW and N side
    while a clear slot/descending branch over the SW and southern
    hemispheres. Central pressures have gone from 1014mb to estimated
    955mb from OPC in the last 24hrs. A broad sub-tropical jet cirrus
    canopy with subtle ridging at the apex of the cold front
    42.7N129.5W indicates the anticyclonic rotor of the nose of the
    140kt jet directed toward the central OR coast. Clearing aloft,
    has allowed a view of narrow convective elements along the
    occluded portion of the front where steep lapse rates/CAA aloft
    support a narrow ribbon of 500-750 J/kg of SBCAPE. CIRA LPW shows
    sfc-700mb layers remain very narrow stretched along/ahead of the
    cold front, before broadening to a broader wedge of slightly above
    average moisture values south of 38N and west of 134W,
    approximately delineating a warm front. Enhanced 700-500
    moisture hugs the entire length of the mid to upper level jet and
    portion of the cold front (WSW to ENE orientation) that parallels
    (generally west of 130W). As such, total PWats of 1-1.25"
    southwest of the warm front are showing very high moisture flux on
    60 to 90kts of 850mb southwesterly flow helping to build IVT
    values of near 900-1000 kg/m/s.

    This front will continue to advance quickly toward the coast over
    the next few hours with similar orientation/northward expansion of
    the warm front. Further strengthening of the occluded low will
    bottom out toward mid to upper 940mb range but start a cyclonic
    loop reducing the surface to boundary layer impetus and expand the
    occluded front in a northwesterly manner. As such, elevated
    convection will reduce in forward speed reaching the coast and
    with further narrowing influences and upper-level jet expanding
    further eastward into the central OR...convective elements will
    become more fractured in nature only to increase orographic ascent
    light rainfall from 1/20th to .1" per hour with scattered streaks
    of .33-.5"/hr resulting in spotty 1-1.5" totals along favored
    southwest facing coastal ranges from central OR northward.

    Further south, the leading edge of heavy rainfall/WAA should be
    arriving in the 03-06z time frame toward Southwest Oregon and
    Northwest California. IVT values in the 400-500 range will
    increase toward 700 kg/m/s by 06z. Weakly unstable air near the
    triple point and just upstream along the cold front in the warm
    sector could see enhancement of rates from .5-.75"/hr along or
    just offshore by 03z. HREF 1"/hr probability reach 50% along the
    coast by 06-09z, though 1"/3hr values are over 75% with spots
    offshore near 100% nearing the NW CA coast. At this point, there
    is not likely to be sufficient coverage/intersection with coastal
    locations to result in excessive rainfall/flash flooding...though
    may become more of a risk after 06z.

    As such, will leave the hazard tag as only Heavy Rainfall expected
    for this MPD; but this rainfall south of central OR will only set
    the stage for upcoming likely significant rainfall across the area
    over the next few days. Please keep attune to further MPDs, AHDs
    from the National Water Center and flooding/hydrological
    advisories and statements from local forecast offices over the
    coming days.

    Areas affected...Northern California... Far Southwest Oregon...

    Concerning...Heavy rainfall

    Valid 201300Z - 202100Z

    SUMMARY...Solid, persistent Atmospheric River to continue
    throughout the morning into afternoon. Typical .25-.33"/hr rates
    may occasionally tick up to .5" for an hour or so occasionally
    with localized embedded pulses across Southwest facing terrain.=20
    Solid 2-4" for terrain with 1-2" for lower slopes/valleys by 21z.

    DISCUSSION...GOES-W SWIR and regional RADAR mosaic, shows the back
    edge of the atmospheric river nearing the OR/CA boarder as the low
    to mid-level drying under the core of the upper-level jet
    continues to press the occluded front across W WA through to the
    SW OR coast. The triple point appears in a traditional location
    just north of Cape Mendocino before it jumps south as the front is
    expected to reach the CAPE over the next few hours. While the
    near record deep cyclone continues to slowly wobble north, there
    remains still a bit of height-falls to allow for the front to
    continue a slow sag southward. Well upstream, a subtle shortwave
    near 35N and 140W is starting to amplify with downstream
    baroclinic leaf forming between 140 and 130W; but that is well
    away off, but will likely start to have some influence with
    localized shortwave ridging and finally stall the southward
    progression of the front, likely between 21-00z.=20

    Southward drift relative to the coast remains a few miles an hour,
    the core of 50-65kts of slightly cyclonic 850mb flow into
    southwest facing orography will shift from S Humbolt county
    currently, through Mendocino, likely reaching Sonoma and far
    northern Marin county by 18-21z. With exiting of stronger
    height-falls, winds will tapper but only slightly and remain at
    50kts in the 850mb layer. CIRA LPW and RAP analysis show core of
    highest sfc-700mb is now nosing into the coast and rain-rates are
    likely to increase from the .25-.33" to .5"/hr at that nose for a
    few hours before slipping south (with lingering .25-.5"). HREF
    .5"/hr probability remains well above 75%, with a secondary maxima
    along the lower slopes of the northern Sierra Nevada Range. The
    strength of the WAA will likely keep freezing levels lifting up
    from 2000 to 5000 ft throughout the day. Allowing the lower
    slopes to see similar rainfall rates/impacts nearing 2-4" by 21z.=20
    Valleys will obviously see much less, but still beneficial 1-2"
    are probable (with exception of directly in rain-shadow of the SW
    facing peaks).

    As the AR plume, reaches its southward extent in the 18-00z time
    frame, winds will still further slack, but PW will be increasing
    as deep layer flow becomes unidirectional and each layer
    contributes to near 1.5" (still well offshore); basically, as the
    strength of flow decreases it will be bolstered by increased total
    moisture and so rates are likely to remain fairly steady
    throughout with only those localized embedded pulses reaching
    above .5"/hr. While the soils continue to further saturate, with
    increasing run-off as it does so; overall rates still do not
    likely reach flash flooding concerns quite yet, but localized
    slower rise flooding and nuisance/urban flooding will remain
    probable.

    329 PM EST Wed Nov 20 2024

    Areas affected...Northern California...

    Concerning...Heavy rainfall

    Valid 202030Z - 210600Z

    SUMMARY...Strong, persistent heavy rainfall signal continues into
    north-central coastal Range and starting to bleed over to the
    northern Sierra Nevada range with times of .5-.75"/hr rates and
    additional 3-4" totals by 06z.=20

    DISCUSSION...GOES-W WV suite depicts a weak baroclinc leaf with
    transverse banding lifting northeast toward and starting to
    intersect with the SW Oregon coast, this is indicative of a
    broadening right entrance to the polar jet and short-wave ridging
    across northern California. As such, the forward progression of
    the front has fully stalled with weak rain-cooled support pressing
    the pre-frontal convergence/isentropic band across Sonoma/Santa
    Rosa counties at this time. The upstream edge of the divergence
    pattern aloft well-offshore is helping to spur a weak surface low
    along the front which will help lift the best moisture flux
    convergence axis northward after 23-00z with some increased
    southerly flow at the coastline, shifting the axis back to
    Menodcino county later in the valid time period (03-06z).=20

    Recent surface observations have seen dew-points rising through
    the San Francisco Bay and filtering into the Sacramento Valley,
    suggesting the warm front has over-topped or is near over-topping
    the coastal range. CIRA LPW hints at this as well with .5-.75" at
    the sfc/850mb layer pressing through the north-central CA coast.=20
    LPW also denotes better alignment through depth and so moisture
    totals are reaching 1.3" and nearing 1.5" just upstream off-shore.
    Total IVT ranges are about 750-900 kg/m/s along and just offshore,
    given said moisture and continued solid 50-60kts of fairly
    orthogonal 850mb flow in the core of the PW plume. As such,
    .5"/hr rates in the coastal range are increasingly probable
    supported by 50-75% neighborhood probability along the coastal
    range wavering north/south with the passing surface inflection
    toward 03z. Totals across the coastal range vary from 2-4.5" and
    soils are starting to fully saturate. FFG values along the spine
    are about 1.5"/3hrs and given the recent saturation, it is
    becoming increasingly plausible of exceedance but probably
    probability still remain just below threshold.=20

    As mentioned, deeper moisture is filtering through the Sacramento
    Valley, though cooler and drier air remains coincident with the
    front range, this further intensifies the isentropic ascent plane
    increasing verticality of of the showers. Core of the plume still
    appears directed at the Butte/W Plumas county slopes, and HREF
    probability of 1"/hr reach 15-20% suggesting a spot or two for a
    few hours are likely to reach .75"/hr of rainfall, peaking in the
    23-01z time frame. Even IVT values are in the 600+ kg/m/s range
    supporting this potential.Persistence of southwesterly warm-air
    advection will press freezing levels steadily up slope as well,
    broadening the area of moderate to heavy rainfall in steeper
    terrain. Similar but slightly higher 1.5-2"/3hr FFG values exist
    across this area and while there is increased potential for higher
    intensity rates, the duration of moderate to heavy rainfall
    pre-cursory to this surge has been limited relative to the coast.=20
    While a spot or two of FFG exceedance is possible, it will need to
    be monitored closely...but will continue to maintain a Heavy
    Rainfall tag for this MPD valid time.

    Further north toward Cape Mendocino into the SW slopes of the
    Trinity Range...
    The core of the moisture will continue to be focused south, but
    given proximity to the stationary front/triple point, convergence
    should be maximized to allow for similar occasional upticks to
    .5"/hr. Given this area has the climatologically wetter climate
    and higher natural FFG values, the risk for flooding will continue
    to be better accommodated than further south. Though and
    additional 2-3" rainfall expected; this further saturation will
    result in greater run-off further setting the stage for expected
    activity over the next coming few days.

    Areas affected...Northern California

    Concerning...Heavy rainfall...Flash flooding possible

    Valid 210600Z - 211800Z

    SUMMARY...Nearly stationary atmospheric river will maintain heavy
    rainfall across northern CA through Thursday morning with
    increasing concerns for widespread areal flooding and possibly
    some burn scar flash flooding.

    DISCUSSION...The latest GOES-W Airmass RGB satellite imagery in
    conjunction with CIRA-ALPW data shows a well-defined atmospheric
    river and an associated front currently stalled over northern CA
    and the adjacent offshore waters extending southwestward off the
    West Coast. Strong warm air advection and moisture transport
    focused in close proximity to this front continues to overrun
    northern CA with rather widespread moderate to heavy rain
    impacting the region.

    Strong low to mid-level southwest flow around the south side of a
    powerful deep layer cyclone west of Vancouver Island will be
    locked in place overnight and through Thursday morning which will
    maintain enhanced atmospheric river activity over northern CA.
    Multiple weak waves of low pressure are expected to ride
    northeastward along the front over the next 6 to 12 hours which
    will take aim on the northern CA coastal ranges, and this will be
    facilitated by some backing of the mid to upper-level flow as
    additional shortwave/jet energy digs through the base of the
    larger scale trough offshore of the West Coast.

    Enhanced 850/700 mb moisture flux coupled with the deeper layer
    warm air advection pattern and orographic ascent/upslope flow over
    the higher terrain of northern CA will focus a persistence of
    moderate to heavy rain, with IVT magnitudes north of the Bay Area
    reaching 500 to 750+ kg/m/s. This will support elevated rainfall
    rates which based off the 00Z HREF guidance should occasionally
    reach well into the 0.50" to 0.75"/hour range. Some isolated rates
    potentially exceeding 0.75"/hour will be possible and especially
    over southern parts of Humboldt County where the southwest-facing
    slopes will see stronger orographic ascent coupled with very close
    proximity of the aforementioned front.

    The persistence of these elevated rainfall rates over the next 6
    to 12 hours will likely result in additional rainfall amounts by
    18Z (10AM PST) Thursday morning of 3 to 5 inches over the coastal
    ranges and the foothills of the northern Sierra Nevada, with some
    isolated 6+ inch amounts possible. These rains will be in addition
    to the already several inches of rain that have fallen for the
    event, and thus isolated some storm total amounts by late Thursday
    morning may well be 10+ inches. Lesser amounts of as much as 1 to
    3 inches will generally be expected for the interior valleys
    including the northern Sacramento Valley.

    Expect increasing concerns for widespread areal flooding impacts
    from the additional rainfall going through Thursday morning, and
    this may include some concerns for burn scar flash flooding at
    least locally. Debris flow and landslide activity will be a
    notable concern as well from these heavy rains.

    Areas affected...Northern California...

    Concerning...Heavy rainfall...Flash flooding possible

    Valid 211730Z - 220400Z

    SUMMARY...Remarkably static and intense AR moisture flux
    continuing to compound rainfall totals. Spots of add'l 3-6"=20
    totals expected through 04z ahead of next enhanced surge
    associated with deepening cyclone. Soils are nearly fully
    saturated so greater run-off is expected. Flash flooding remains
    possible.

    DISCUSSION...GOES-W Airmass and RAP analysis shows post-frontal
    deep dry air mass with red hues converting quickly to yellows and greenish-blues along and south of the front depicts strength of
    the front and ability to increase thermal wind along and south of
    the boundary though a large depth of the atmosphere. This
    unidirectional flow through depth is expected to remain though the
    next 9 to 12 hours directed at the Redwood Coastline and
    continuing to infiltrate well into northern California and the
    northern Sierra Nevada and Trinity Ranges...continuing similar
    evolution to unfold.

    This will be changing into the 03-06z period...GOES-W WV suite
    denotes a short-wave rounding the base of the global trough just
    east of 40N140W, which will be spurring rapid cyclogenesis over
    the next 12-24hrs. This will strengthen and amplify the flow
    nearing the coast, but that is for subsequent MPD issuance. Its
    influence, however, is starting to be felt in other downstream
    fields; including upper-level jet starting to split/ridge a bit
    across coastal OR and peripherally N CA. This will provide broad
    right entrance ascent from the exiting jet streak across the
    region and a very weak surface wave(s) are noted near Cape
    Mendocino into SW OR; low level winds appear to be responding with
    slightly backed flow especially along and east of the coastal
    range, further enhancing deep moisture flux through the northern
    Sacramento Valley and increasing orographic ascent (while further
    increasing freezing levels above nearly all peaks minus Shasta by
    the end of the valid time).=20=20

    CIRA LPW analysis shows a small split in the low level moisture
    further upstream, likely associated with the approaching shortwave DPVA/cyclogenesis. This enhanced area however, has solid
    isentropic slope through the 700-500mb layer that is currently
    intersecting far NW CA and overlaid with the leading surface to
    850 (and 850-700mb) slug of moisture from Cape Gorda through the
    San Francisco Bay (and up through the Sacramento Valley). This is
    resulting in solid core of 1.25-1.5" with embedded spots just over
    1.5". The strength of the moisture flux in the sfc-850mb (about
    .6-.75") on steady 45-50kt winds is solidly within the 95-99th
    percentile of CIRA LPW moisture flux values. This matches with
    consistent and remarkably broad 600 kg/m/s ticking up to 700
    kg/m/s in the core directed at S Mendocino/N Sonoma county. This
    will result in consistent .33"/hr rates with occasional .5"+/hr
    spurts in the southwest facing topography of the Coastal Range.=20
    Spots of additional 3-6" totals are expected and given 6-12" that
    have fallen in spots, soil saturation has reached 90% with spots
    over that. This will result in increased run-off and may spur
    mudslides and debris flows, especially in/near recent burn scars.=20
    As such, will continue to tag this MPD as flash flooding
    possible...though it remains more the duration of the rate that is
    driving the flooding conditions.

    A bit less consistent with a slow northward intersection with the
    northern Sierra Nevada Range of 500-600 kg/m/s, but slightly
    increased moisture flux convergence due to cyclonic acceleration
    through the gap of the Bay, should see similar rates and totals in
    strongest orographic ascent (Butte/Plumas county). OAK 12z RAOB
    showed near daily record of 1.25" TPW and that continues to
    increase with approaching core of moisture through the gap to
    indicate how anomalous the deep moisture is within the central
    valley. Slow sfc to 850mb backing of the flow will redirect
    orientation of the plume toward the eastern Trinity Range toward
    00z, reducing orthogonal flow into the Sierra Range. Still,
    swaths of 3-5" from Butte to Tehama and 2-3" into Shasta county
    are expected.

    gradually refocusing farther north back into portions of southwest
    OR. Widespread areal flooding concerns will continue, and there
    will also still be a possibility for some localized burn scar
    flash flooding impacts.

    DISCUSSION...The latest GOES-W GeoColor satellite imagery is
    showing the rapid deepening of a new area of low pressure offshore
    of the West Coast as strong shortwave energy rounds the base of
    the persistent larger scale upper-level trough. This low pressure
    center will strengthen over the next 6 to 12 hours and move to a
    position southwest of Vancouver Island by later Friday morning. As
    this occurs, the long duration, multi-day atmospheric river that
    continues to impact northern CA will advance a bit farther north
    and edge back into areas of southwest OR which will be the result
    of a backing of the deeper layer flow across the region and the
    northward advance of a warm front. By very early Friday morning, a
    cold front will then begin to arrive across coastal areas of
    southwest OR and northwest CA.

    Enhanced low to mid-level southwest flow out ahead of this cold
    front will continue to drive areas of persistently heavy rain
    given the level of moisture transport and warm air advection
    coupled with upslope flow/orographic ascent over the higher
    terrain. The 850/700 mb moisture flux anomalies are forecast to
    peak between 3 and 5 standard deviations above normal by around
    12Z (4AM PST) across coastal areas of northwest CA and southwest
    OR and the IVT magnitudes are forecast to locally peak in between
    750 and 1000 kg/m/s. While the highest values of IVT will be along
    the immediate coast, some of these elevated IVT magnitudes are
    forecast to spread inland including the northern Sacramento Valley.

    The 00Z HREF guidance suggests rainfall rates will occasionally
    reach 0.50" to 0.75"/hour, with potentially some spotty rates in
    the 0.75" to 1.0"/hour late tonight as peak IVT magnitudes arrive
    ahead of the cold front. Additional rainfall totals going through
    early Friday morning are expected to reach 3 to 5 inches, with
    isolated heavier amounts not out of the question. Given the
    persistence of the rainfall, and level of soil saturation and high
    streamflows already from this multi-day atmospheric river event,
    there will continue to be concerns for widespread flooding going
    through Friday morning. This may again include concerns for some
    burn scar flash flooding impacts at least locally.

    Areas affected...cenral to northern CA

    Concerning...Heavy rainfall...Flash flooding possible

    Valid 221643Z - 230400Z

    SUMMARY...The atmospheric river will continue to gradually shift
    southward across north-central CA today and early tonight. While
    the magnitude of moisture flux will be lower than earlier today,
    locally significant impacts will remain possible where areas of
    training allow rainfall rates in excess of 0.5 in/hr. Additional
    rainfall through 04Z of 3 to 7 inches for the northern Sierra
    Nevada and localized totals of 2-4 inches for the Coastal Ranges
    are anticipated.

    DISCUSSION...16Z surface observations showed that a northward
    moving surface low continued to deepen roughly 250 miles west of
    the northern OR coast, with an attached occluded/cold front now
    inland across northern CA. GOES West water vapor imagery showed
    the strengthening mid to upper-level reflection of this surface
    low with the associated upper low moving inland across the Pacific
    Northwest. IVT values have weakened from near 1000 kg/m/s earlier
    this morning near the coastal OR/CA border but remained of a
    moderate intensity in the 600-700 kg/m/s range per short term
    model forecast data. While the intensity of the atmospheric river
    has decreased, there are indications upstream in water vapor
    imagery that short periods of stalling may occur with the moisture
    axis, along with a temporary increase in IVT values later this
    afternoon and early evening. While subtle inflections were noted
    in water vapor imagery within the southwesterly flow pointed at
    CA, which could allow for brief training, a more notable shortwave
    impulse was observed near 35N 140W which could result in a longer
    period of training potential.

    As this mid-level shortwave impulse near 140W continues to advance
    toward the east, RAP guidance indicates some amplification within
    the base of the broader parent closed low and slowing/stalling of
    mid-upper level height falls across the central CA coast. At the
    surface, a weak surface wave along the cold front is forecast to
    develop and approach the CA coast which will result in some minor
    increase in IVT values (up to 800 kg/m/s) and slowing/stalling of
    the plume over the San Francisco metro region with 850 mb winds
    intensifying to near 60 kt along the coast. The best indication
    for stalling will be in the 21Z-03Z time frame.

    Downstream across the Great Valley into the Sierra Nevada, 700 mb
    winds up to ~70 kt are expected later today with upslope
    enhancement favoring the greatest likelihood of 0.5 to 1.0 inch of
    rain in an hour or less. Additional rainfall totals through 04Z of
    3-7 inches are expected for the Sierra Nevada along with localized
    2-4 inch totals for the Coastal Ranges. Urban flooding impacts
    will be possible as well given overlap with the San Francisco and
    Sacramento metro regions and the addition of 1 to 2 inches, though
    rates are likely to remain below 0.5 in/hr outside of terrain due
    to negligible forecast instability.

    Areas affected...Portions of Central and Southern CA

    Concerning...Heavy rainfall...Flash flooding possible

    Valid 260415Z - 261615Z

    SUMMARY...Moderately strong atmospheric river to continue
    overnight and through Tuesday morning across portions of the
    central and southern CA coastal ranges, San Joaquin Valley, and
    southern Sierra Nevada. Some areal flooding concerns and a low-end
    burn scar flash flood threat will exist.

    DISCUSSION...The GOES-W Airmass RGB satellite imagery in
    conjunction with CIRA-ALPW data shows a rather well-defined and
    moderately strong atmospheric river advancing inland across
    coastal areas of central and southern CA, the San Joaquin Valley
    and into the higher terrain of the southern Sierra Nevada.

    So far, the heaviest rainfall rates have been in the foothills of
    Fresno and Tulare Counties where some occasional rainfall rates of
    0.50"+/hour have already been observed. The moisture transport
    over the coastal ranges and into the interior foothills is
    relatively strong with IVT magnitudes reaching as high as 500 to
    750 kg/m/s, and this is associated with 850/700 mb moisture flux
    anomalies of 3 to 4 standard deviations above normal.

    There is a rather substantial subtropical moisture connection to
    this atmospheric river with PWs that are running anywhere from 2
    to 4 standard deviations above normal, and CIRA-ALPW showing the
    deeper layer moisture axis extending well offshore of the West
    Coast all the way down to near 30N 140W where there is close
    proximity of a deeper layer trough. Embedded within this moist
    southern stream flow are multiple shortwave impulses interacting
    with a frontal zone and there has been at least some weak surface
    wave activity traversing this front, including one wave that has
    advanced inland to the northeast of Monterey.

    Some additional increase in IVT values are forecast overnight, and
    especially in the 06Z to 12Z time frame as additional stronger
    energy from offshore arrives, and this should promote some
    additional localized increase in rainfall rates. The coastal
    ranges of Monterey and San Luis Obispo Counties may see rainfall
    rates increase into the 0.25" to 0.50"/hour range on occasion.
    However, with the spillover of stronger moisture transport into
    the foothills of the southern Sierra Nevada, and with favorably
    orthogonal orientation of the flow into the terrain, the rainfall
    rates here below snow level should occasionally reach into the
    0.50" to 0.75"/hour range with possibly a couple instances of
    rates higher than this which is supported by the 00Z HREF guidance.

    Additional rainfall amounts going through Tuesday morning may
    reach 1 to 3 inches for the coastal ranges, and as high as 3 to 6
    inches for the foothills of the southern Sierra Nevada. Given the
    persistence overnight and into early Tuesday morning of heavier
    rainfall rates and the corresponding storm totals, there may be
    some areal flooding concerns along with at least a low-end threat
    for some burn scar flash flooding.

    Areas affected...Southeast LA and Far Southern MS

    Concerning...Heavy rainfall...Flash flooding possible

    Valid 091704Z - 092304Z

    SUMMARY... A narrow band of showers and storms training across
    southeast LA into MS containing hourly rainfall rates up to 2" at
    times could produce areas of flash flooding through this
    afternoon. Any flash flood risk is expected to be localized and
    confined to urbanized locations.

    DISCUSSION... Upper shortwave crossing over the western Gulf
    Coast, as evident by GOES-16 mid-level WV, ahead a of deeper
    positively-tilted longwave trough extending from the Upper Midwest
    to the central Great Basin are aiding in enhance lift along the
    central Gulf Coast. Strong west-southwest flow at the mid and
    upper levels along the central and western Gulf Coast are
    maintaining a moist environment with analyzed PWs of 1.7-1.9"
    centered across south-central and southeast LA. These PW values
    also near the 90th climatological percentile per the 00z ECENS.
    Uniform west-southwest flow through the column will also support
    the training potential into this afternoon until the better
    forcing shifts eastward by this evening.

    Instability will be a limiting factor as MUCAPE remains around
    500-1000 J/kg, which for this part of the country struggles to
    produce rainfall rates above FFG. 3-hour FFG of 3-5" exists across
    much of the region, but are lower near Baton Rouge and Lafayette
    due to prior rainfall. 12z HREF and 15z HRRR guidance seem to have
    an ok handle on current trends and highlight a low chance for
    exceeding 3" per 6 hours by this evening within the MPD area. If
    training occurs over low-lying or urban regions for an extended
    period, localized flash flooding is possible.

    Areas affected...Parts of Southeast LA, Southern MS, and Southwest
    AL

    Concerning...Heavy rainfall...Flash flooding possible

    Valid 092157Z - 100257Z

    SUMMARY... A weakening line of showers and storms as well as
    reforming convection upstream over south-central LA may lead to
    additional chances for localized flash flooding this evening along
    sections of the central Gulf Coast.

    DISCUSSION... Same shortwave responsible for the breakout of
    morning convection across southern LA is now crossing the central
    Gulf Coast and entering the Southeast, while strong uniform
    southwesterly flow continues to advect tropical moisture from the
    eastern Pacific per GOES-West ADV LPW. PWs remain in the 1.6-1.9"
    range per SPC's mesoanalysis and around the 90th climatological
    percentile. These elevated PW values continue to advect further
    eastward and across AL, but with instability remaining mostly
    meager. SBCAPE values have climbed to above 1000 J/kg across
    south-central LA mainly due to diurnal heating, which will wane in
    the next few hours. However, speed maxes noted in GOES-East ML WV
    exiting northern Mexico within the deep tropical moisture stream
    imply convection may continue to linger a few hours past sunset.

    This combination of elevated moisture, strong uniform
    southwesterly flow, and remaining instability pool will lead to
    additional chances for localized training thunderstorms capable of
    containing hourly rainfall rates up to 2"/hr through around 9 pm
    CT. A corridor of 3-5" of rainfall has already fallen per MRMS in
    a SW-NE oriented line along the northern shores of Lake
    Pontchartrain and southwestward. Otherwise, additional localized
    corridors of 1-1.5" have already occurred. Therefore, even though
    3-hr FFG remains widely above 2.5" there could be localized areas
    more susceptible to flash flooding with 2-3" additional totals.
    Urban locations will be most at risk within the broader isolated
    flash flooding threat stretching from southern LA to southern MS.

    Farther east into southern AL, a continuous band of rainfall
    containing hourly rates around 1" is expected to continue within a
    corridor of enhanced atmospheric moisture and very low
    instability. This region may see more widespread rainfall amounts
    above 1.5", but falling at lower rates. Any flash flood risk for
    AL is considered low, with urban and poor drainage locations most
    at risk for isolated impacts.

    Areas affected...southern AL, southwestern GA, northern FL
    Panhandle

    Concerning...Heavy rainfall...Flash flooding possible

    Valid 100423Z - 101000Z

    SUMMARY... Localized flash flooding will be possible over southern
    AL, southwestern GA into northern portions of the FL Panhandle.
    Rainfall rates of 1-2 in/hr with localized totals of 2-4 inches
    may occur.

    DISCUSSION...An axis of training showers and embedded
    thunderstorms has resulted in a narrow axis of 2-4 inches of rain
    over southwestern AL since roughly 12Z. Radar imagery from 04Z
    showed that a WSW to ENE axis of moderate to heavy rain continued
    to affect southern AL but with slow eastward progression. The
    heavy rain was occurring near a low level convergence axis, which
    was located just above the surface and extended from the
    northwestern tip of the western FL Panhandle across the southern
    AL/GA border. Precipitable water values of 1.5 to 1.8 inches and
    generally weak instability near 500 J/kg were supporting localized
    rainfall rates of 1-2 in/hr at times. Water vapor imagery showed
    weakly diffluent flow over the region and ascent may be aided by
    lift occurring within the right-entrance region of a RAP
    forecast/developing 130 kt jet max over northern AL/eastern TN.

    Southerly to southwesterly low level flow is forecast to maintain
    over the region through the night along with 500-1000 J/kg
    ML/MUCAPE just south of the convergence axis, which should
    continue to slowly translate east over the next few hours ahead of
    an upstream upper trough over the western U.S. and resultant
    mid-level height falls. While overall weakening is expected as the
    low level convergence axis loses definition, pockets of short term
    training may be enough to support additional 1-2 in/hr rates at
    times from southern Al into southwestern GA and the northern FL
    Panhandle through ~10Z. Also, additional shower redevelopment will
    be possible toward 10Z back to the west, ahead of a cold front to
    be approaching from the Lower Mississippi Valley.

    Due today's rainfall, flash flood guidance is 2-3 inches in 3
    hours across northern portions of the MPD threat area. The
    potential for an additional 2-4 inches may cause localized flash
    flooding over urban or otherwise sensitive locations of the region.

    DISCUSSION...Radar and GOES East satellite imagery from 10Z showed
    a SW to NE oriented zone of widely scattered showers with embedded thunderstorms translating toward the east across southern LA into
    south-central MS. These showers were located along a near surface
    convergence axis located out ahead of a cold front, which draped
    from southern AR into southeastern TX. MLCAPE was fairly weak over
    LA/MS (500-1000 J/kg per 10Z SPC mesoanalysis data) but shower
    activity was located just to the west of an axis of precipitable
    water values that contained 1.5 to 1.7 inches.

    As broad lift begins to overspread the Lower MS Valley, out ahead
    of a large, positively tilted, upper trough axis over the
    Southwest, the coverage and intensity of showers/thunderstorms
    along the eastward progressing low level convergence axis will
    increase. This should also be true as the convergence axis reaches
    higher precipitable water values to the east along with forecasts
    of increasing instability with daytime heating. An upper level jet
    max over the eastern TX/OK border, with GOES East DMVs having
    sampled 120-130 kt between 07-08Z near 250 mb, is expected to
    continue to increase in magnitude as it translates downstream
    toward the MS River through the morning. Locations within the
    right-entrance region of this upper jet max are expected to see
    enhanced lift through late morning. Mean steering flow from the
    southwest will parallel the axis of forcing allowing for training
    of heavy rain at times with 1-2 in/hr becoming more likely later
    this morning as the axis of heavy rain shifts east.

    While expected rainfall through 16Z is likely to fall primarily to
    the north of a stripe of heavy rain (2 to 5 inches) which fell
    across portions of the central Gulf Coast on Monday, localized
    convective development near the Gulf Coast...or closer to the
    source of higher instability...could overlap with these more
    hydrologically sensitive areas to generate flash flooding. Farther
    north, any areas of flash flooding that develop should remain
    localized atop low lying and/or urban areas.

    Areas affected...Parts of the Deep South and Southeast

    Concerning...Heavy rainfall...Flash flooding possible

    Valid 101530Z - 102130Z

    SUMMARY... Increasing coverage of showers and thunderstorms
    through this afternoon will be capable of containing hourly rates
    up to 2"/hr and 6-hourly totals over 3", while likely training
    over similar areas. This will lead to scattered flash flooding
    potential, mainly for urban and low-lying locations

    DISCUSSION... Current satellite, radar, and surface observations
    display a developing southwest-northeast oriented axis of showers
    and thunderstorms extending from eastern LA to central AL. These
    showers and thunderstorms are forming in advance of a deep upper
    trough (-1.0 to -1.5 standardized anomaly per 00z ECENS)
    stretching from the Upper Midwest to the Southern Rockies. This
    trough is aiding in strong uniform southwesterly flow advecting
    anomalous moisture throughout the column with a source region of
    the eastern Pacific, visible via GOES-West ADV LPW. Actual PW
    values of 1.5"-1.7" currently spans from eastern LA to central GA,
    but these values are forecast to expand throughout the day into
    the Southeast in response to strengthening mid and upper level
    flow as the the aforementioned trough takes on more of a neutral
    tilt over the central U.S.

    Radar and GOES-East visible satellite this morning depicts and a
    few subtle areas of convergence extending to the northeast of the
    approaching cold front. One area impacting Birmingham, AL and a
    separate more noticeable axis to the south over Montgomery, AL and
    the I-65 to I-85 corridor. These areas of convergence are most
    likely to display training storms within the deep uniform
    southwesterly flow, with greater instability (500-1000 J/kg)
    advecting into the southern line. Overall, CAMs and 06z HREF
    guidance display that hourly rates are not expected to exceed 2"
    outside of very localized locations, but that 6-hourly totals
    could exceed 3" and this would top the 6-hr FFG. So areas
    experiencing training thunderstorms will be most at risk for
    excessive rainfall as opposed to impacts from individual cells.

    Overall, if these amounts are realized it is expected that
    scattered low-lying and urbanized locations could experience rapid
    water runoff and flash flooding impacts, particularly after 18z
    along the I-85 and I-65 corridors of AL.

    Areas affected...Piedmont to Blue Ridge foothills of GA/SC/NC

    Concerning...Heavy rainfall...Flash flooding possible

    Valid 110605Z - 111205Z

    SUMMARY...There will be some potential for lower end flash or
    urban flooding across the Piedmont of GA/SC/NC into the foothills
    of the Blue Ridge Mountains through 12Z. Elements of training
    rainfall will be capable of producing 1 to 1.5+ in/hr rates with 3
    to 6-hour totals of 2-3 inches.

    DISCUSSION...0530Z radar imagery across the southeastern U.S.
    showed a broad swath of mostly stratiform rainfall extending from
    central GA into the Carolinas, though some embedded thunderstorms
    were observed within a broken convective line extending from
    western GA to the Gulf Coast where MLCAPE was estimated to be
    500-1000 J/kg (05Z SPC mesoanalysis). Precipitation was occurring
    in advance of a cold front with the convective line along a narrow
    axis of pre-frontal convergence near the surface. MRMS rainfall
    rates have recently been peaking near 1 in/hr, such as along the
    GA/SC border just south of Columbus.

    While much of this rain has been beneficial to the region given
    below average rainfall over the past few weeks, there will likely
    be an uptick in rainfall intensity heading through the morning
    hours for locations in the Carolinas. As an upper trough axis,
    observed on water vapor imagery just west of the MS River,
    continues to advance eastward, continued amplification of the
    downstream low level flow will likely result in increased moisture
    transport and modest instability increases into the Carolinas
    through 12Z. In addition, while instability is not expected to be
    a significant contributing factor to enhancing rainfall, a
    strengthening upper level jet is likely to enhance lift over the
    Blue Ridge and Piedmont later this morning. GOES East DMVs sampled
    170 kt near 250 mb over the upper OH Valley at 05Z and some
    additional strengthening is likely farther south, ahead of the
    through axis becoming neutrally tilted over OK/AR on current water
    vapor imagery, forecast to become negatively tilted later this
    morning. Increasingly divergent and diffluent flow over the
    southeastern U.S. may help to compensate for weak instability and
    allow for rainfall rates of 1 to 1.5+ in/hr where heavier cores
    train along pre-frontal convergence axes through 12Z. With these
    heavier rates, potential for urban flooding or minor flash
    flooding will exist with perhaps 2-3 inches of rain in a 3 to 6
    hour window of time.

    300 PM EST Fri Dec 13 2024

    Areas affected...Northern California...Southwest Oregon

    Concerning...Heavy rainfall

    Valid 132000Z - 140600Z

    SUMMARY...An approaching storm system accompanying a strengthening
    atmospheric river will result in an areal increase of excessive
    rainfall rates this afternoon and into tonight. Areas of flash
    flooding and landslides are possible.

    DISCUSSION...GOES-West satellite imagery shows a steady fire-hose
    of Pacific moisture being directed at the U.S. West Coast today
    with periods of rain well underway across northern CA and southern
    OR. As the afternoon unfolds, the approaching warm front and storm
    system will force southerly 925-850mb winds to accelerate into the
    far northern CA coast. The warm front's approach will also force
    freezing levels to rise as high as 5,000ft in some cases. This
    provides both a deeper warm cloud layer and would allow for higher
    elevations (up to around 5,000ft) to be at-risk for excessive
    rainfall rates. By 00Z, the triple-point of the frontal system
    will be tracking through the CA/OR border and the warm front will
    reside along the CA Coastal Range. A surge in 850mb moisture flux
    along the northern CA coast will accompany an IVT >750 kg/m/s that
    surpasses the 99th climatological percentile according to NAEFS.
    This robust IVT is the catalyst for a >12hr period for excessive
    rainfall from as far north as southwest OR to as far south as some
    of the northern Bay Area suburbs overnight.

    12Z HREF probabilistic guidance shows high chance probabilities
    70%) for >0.5"/hr rainfall rates around the Eureka area as early
    as 21Z. These probabilities then spread as far north as the OR/CA
    coastal border between 00-03Z. By 03Z, the cold front will be on
    approach and the northern CA coast will become placed within the
    storm's warm sector. Low-end MUCAPE values (generally <200 J/kg)
    could be available for potential convective enhancement in
    northern CA tonight, while the strong SW flow aloft supports
    strong upslope enhancement into the Trinity/Shasta Mountains
    between 03-06Z tonight. These two areas could see rainfall rates
    approach 1"/hr in some cases.

    Overall, through ~06Z Saturday, additional rainfall totals of 2-4"
    are expected within most of the highlighted region with localized
    totals surpassing 5" possible. The 12Z HREF depicts
    low-to-moderate chance probabilities (30-50%) for 12-hr QPF >5"
    along the coast near and south of Eureka, as well as in the
    southwestern facing slopes of the Trinity/Shasta Mountains.
    Previously saturated soils have recovered to some extent given the
    drier than normal stretch of weather over the past couple weeks,
    which should help limit the areal extent for potential flash
    flooding. That said, the atmospheric parameters mentioned above
    are more than enough to support the potential flash flooding and
    landslides in parts of northern CA this afternoon and into
    tonight.

    Areas affected...Northern and Central California....

    Concerning...Heavy rainfall...Flash flooding possible

    Valid 140500Z - 141500Z

    SUMMARY...Initial surge of deep moisture/typical Atmospheric River
    will given way to approaching stronger cyclogenesis/flux
    convergence with potetial of .75-1"/hr localized showers that may
    induce localized flash flooding particularly in/near urban
    locations around San Francisco Bay after 11z.

    DISCUSSION...GOES-W WV suite depicts a mature strong closed low
    along 130W near 46N that has driven an occluded/cold front
    through the coastal range of W WA/OR. Solid shortwave ridge
    within the upper-level cirrus canopy denotes the left exit of the
    130kt 3H jet streaking northward, while the right entrance exists
    at the trailing edge of the cold front resulting in a weak surface
    to 850mb wave/inflection along/just north of Cape Mendocino. CIRA
    LPW denotes this feature with an enhanced moisture pocket of .6"
    and .4" with the respective sfc-850 and 850-700mb layers before
    connecting back to the main core of the SW to NE oriented warm
    conveyor/AR plume. This plume currently intersects the Redwood
    Coast from Cape Mendocino to near the entrance to the San
    Francisco Bay. Enhanced convergence and weak cooling aloft has
    seen some steepening of lapse rates near the surface inflection
    back near the Cape, with RADAR indicating some enhanced linear
    filaments of convective still remaining but ushering themselves
    ashore likely with .5"/hr rates resulting in best opportunity for
    short-term flooding concerns. However, the main core of the AR
    will continue with solid 45-50kt fairly orthogonal ascent
    resulting in 700-800 kg/m/s of IVT that will slowly drift
    southward over the next 4-6hrs resulting in average .33 to .5"/hr
    rates across the Redwood Coast toward the Napa Region. Additional
    totals of 2-3" are likely through 12z as the core of the AR shifts
    ashore into the central Valley and lower slopes of the Northern
    Sierra Nevada range.

    Possible Flash Flooding after 10-15z in Central California...
    GOES-W WV suite also depicts the core of a strong mid to low level
    cyclone developing just west of 130W about 36-37N quickly
    approaching. Upstream strong digging of the trough is
    strengthening the descending branch of the mid to upper level jet
    rapidly deepening the cyclone. The strong vorticity advection is
    expected to peak over the next 3-4hrs just west of the central CA
    coast with near negative tilt as a 130-140kt jet streak rounds the
    base of the larger scale trough from 09-12z. Low level flow will back/strengthen and flux will steadily increase. Additionally,
    CAA will help to steepen mid-level lapse rates and potential for
    250-500 J/kg of MUCAPE will accompany the enhanced moisture flux.=20
    Hi-Res CAMs continue to suggest convective streets/elements with
    capacity of .75-1"/hr rates likely to focus where the cold front
    sags/flattens which looks to be trending near Sonoma county, but
    with height-falls/forward propagation along/ahead of the DPVA will
    enhance through San Francisco Bay toward 12z. 00z HREF
    probability of 1"/3hr is nearly 100% while 1"/hr peaks around
    50-60% at 12-13z near the mouth of the Bay; providing enhanced
    confidence for possible incidents of flash flooding in/near the
    urban locations surrounding the Bay (initially north side before
    15z). Localized totals of 1-2.5" are possible with convective
    areas near the Bay though spots of 3-5" are also likely along SW
    facing orographic peaks in the Trinity Range, Coastal Range of
    Mendocino/Lake and Napa counties and lower slopes of Tehama/Butte
    county by 15z.=20

    Areas affected...Southern Arkansas...Northwest Mississippi..Adj
    portionsOK, TX, LA...

    Concerning...Heavy rainfall...Flash flooding possible

    Valid 170300Z - 170830Z

    SUMMARY...The potential for continued back-building of weakening
    but training showers may present a low-end scattered incident or
    two of flash flooding through the overnight hours.

    DISCUSSION...GOES-E WV suite denotes an elongated trough/stream
    intersection extending from northeast Texas across the Delta
    Region of the MS River toward the southern Ohio Valley toward the
    tail end of the more amplified exiting flow across the Lower Great
    Lakes. GOES-AMVs confirm RAP analysis of this intersection
    extends the length of the broad right entrance to the 70-90kt 3H
    jet across the TN/OH valley. A small inflection/wave is highly
    divergent across NE TX providing the enhanced ascent pattern noted
    with strong cirrus filaments along the northern edge of the
    convective clusters across NE TX, AR into N MS/SW TN. The deep
    unidirectional flow extends back to central TX, where moisture is
    generally confluent before veering into solid isentropic ascent
    toward the upper level jet entrance. As such, CIRA LPW and RAP
    analysis show an enhanced pool of moisture starting to near 1.5"
    with the vast majority below 850mb.

    Surface analysis shows defined sagging cold front across AR, that
    is starting to sharpen, with warm sector southerly flow providing
    weak but sufficient surface convergence from 5-10kts. Strong
    convection with some weak QLCS features generally training along
    the boundary/deep layer moisture interface are fed upstream by
    pool of 1000-1250 J/kg of MUCAPE before diminishing rapidly toward
    N MS. Rates of 1.5-1.7"/hr are probable given moisture/unstable
    air and with training profiles may allow for streaks of 2-3"
    totals, though eastward along the line will see enhanced
    southeastward propagation. While soil conditions are fairly
    dry/generally recepible; they are starting to go a bit dormant and
    rates may be sufficient for localized pooling/enchained run-off.=20
    As such flash flooding is considered possible.=20=20

    While upstream convection appears to becoming a bit more fractured
    due to slightly weaker flow, the upper-level divergence/outflow
    channel is suggestive/supportive of back-building/isentropic
    ascent. Additionally, this mid-level wave is supporting some
    shortwave ridging across SW to south-central AR and backing
    propagation vectors to be be more northward allowing for greater
    potential for training cells through the next 4-5 hours. Hi-Res
    CAMs are inconsistent in the evolution overall convective activity/coverage...given the weakened upstream convergence, but
    ones that do have stronger convergence do depict a higher
    potential for training/back-building signal near areas that have
    already received the higher rainfall resulting in initial flash
    flooding warning. Confidence is high contingent on the evolution
    and so the risk for continued flash flooding across Texarkana
    toward the central LA/AR border is also considered possible
    through 09z (as signals further diminish through the entire hi-res
    CAM suite).

    Areas affected...east coast of FL

    Concerning...Heavy rainfall...Flash flooding possible

    Valid 172248Z - 180400Z

    SUMMARY...Localized flash/urban flooding will be possible along
    the eastern FL Peninsula over the next few hours. Slow cell
    movement and/or training will be capable of 1 to 3 in/hr rainfall
    rates which may generate isolated excess runoff within the urban
    corridor.

    DISCUSSION...Radar imagery from KMLB and infrared satellite
    imagery through 2230Z showed scattered thunderstorms occurring
    along the east coast of FL between Cape Canaveral and Port Saint
    Lucie, streaming in from the east following the mean low to
    mid-level easterly flow between 10-20 kt. Surface dewpoints in the
    lower 70s have contributed to anomalous mid-December moisture with
    precipitable water values between 1.5 and 1.8 inches (90th
    percentile) with 1500-2000 J/kg MLCAPE observed on the 22Z SPC
    mesoanalysis.

    Cells were located just north of a weak mid-upper level vorticity
    max observed on water vapor imagery over south-central FL, along a
    persistent west-east convergence axis seen in fading visible
    imagery offshore of the east coast. Mean easterly winds in the low
    to mid-levels have supported repeating cells with short-term
    training, with observed rainfall rates of 1-2 in/hr near Vero
    Beach. While recent cloud top cooling on satellite imagery has
    appeared to migrate generally just offshore, redevelopment and
    westward translation of heavy rain looks to continue a short-term
    urban/flash flood threat from southern Brevard County into St.
    Lucie County along the coast where an additional 2-4 inches will
    be possible on a highly localized basis through ~01Z.

    Indications are that these cells will weaken after 00Z as boundary
    layer stabilization occurs with nocturnal cooling, with cells
    shifting more offshore or perhaps dissipating. While the HRRR
    hasn't been doing well with the ongoing placement of cells, there
    are indications in recent HRRR guidance that the activity could
    refocus a bit farther south sometime in the 00-03Z time frame.
    Similar potential for slow movement and/or training will exist is
    development does get going farther south later tonight. Any areas
    of flash flooding are expected to remain localized with potential
    for a quick 2-4 inches over the next few hours.

    Areas affected...Southeast OK...South-central MO...Far Northeast TX...Arkansas...

    Concerning...Heavy rainfall...Flash flooding possible

    Valid 180350Z - 180920Z

    SUMMARY...Another round of elevated occasionally training
    showers/thunderstorms with capability of 1.5"/hr and localized
    totals of 2-3". Intersection with recently saturated increasingly
    dormant soil conditions may result in increased localized run-off
    and low-end flash flooding potential overnight.

    DISCUSSION...03z surface analysis depicts an older polar boundary
    draped across the Red River Valley, S Arkansas into the TN River
    Valley. CIRA sfc to 850 LPW shows return moisture from the western
    Gulf of Mexico streamed northward across central TX, then angling
    northwest across much of AR while ascending across/above the
    boundary into the 850-700mb layer. Total PWat values are in the
    1.25 range, but sharpening upper-level polar trough across the
    Central High Plains is increasing flow through the layers into the
    30-40kt range through 700mb while sharpening the isentropic
    boundary as the northern stream cold front presses further south
    and east over the next few hours. Modest, mid-level drying and
    lingering steeper lapse rates along with the near surface
    moisture/heating is providing solid MUCAPE over the boundary with
    values of 1500-2000 J/kg spreading across SE OK. Additionally to
    the strengthening low level convergence/isentropic ascent; the
    right entrance of the 100 kt jet is dropping southeast providing
    solid divergence and evacuation to developing elevated convection
    (while also moving into broadly diffluent region across S MO/AR
    into the MS Valley).

    Current GOES-E 10.3um and regional RADAR mosaic depict numerous
    narrow core cells breaking out in two SW to NE orientated bands
    across E OK and north-central AR. Coverage will increase and
    updrafts will broaden to support 1.25-1.5"/hr rates occasionally
    increasing to 2"/hr randomly and widely scattered in nature. Deep
    layer flow while not ideally unidirectional, will support cross
    track/repeating particularly over the first 2-4 hours before the
    stronger flow/height-falls aloft increase forward cell motions and
    increase southeastward cell propagation. This should allow for a
    few scattered incidents of 2-3" totals across E OK/W AR and
    perhaps even further downstream; which is likely to align with
    areas that missed out on the moderate/heavy rainfall a few days
    ago; but FFG values of 1.5"/hr and 2-3"/3hrs are well within
    range. Still there are some overlaps along the edges of
    south-central MO and eventually SW AR to south-central AR...that
    may be more susceptible given soil saturation values per NASA
    SPoRT at or above 65-70% in the 0-40cm layer. Also considered,
    flash flooding is possible, but given rates and totals are at the thresholds...any flash flooding is likely to be on the lower end
    and scattered in nature with highest potential in urban locales.

    Areas affected...Southeast MO...Northeast AR...Southern
    IL...Northwest TN...Western KY...

    Concerning...Heavy rainfall...Flash flooding possible

    Valid 180630Z - 181130Z

    SUMMARY...Warm advective showers/thunderstorms likely to expand in coverage/intensity toward early morning. Training/repeating
    across wet/dormant grounds with low FFG suggest spots of 2-3" may
    result in localized flash flooding conditions.

    DISCUSSION...06z Surface analysis shows southerly return flow
    across MS and W AL northward into W TN has pressed the warm front
    into SW KY with lower 60s and upper 50s Temps and Tds starting to
    trickle in through the MS Valley. Aloft, CIRA LPW and VWP network
    show and increasing moisture plume on 30-35kts of 850-700mb WAA
    across AR into the Tri-Rivers area bringing overall deeper layer
    moisture values over 1.25" with short-term totals likely to near
    1.5" about 09z. The combining streams, low level WAA profile with
    modest lapse rates aloft have seen a steady increase in CAPE with
    500-1000 J/kg analyzed across SE MO/NE AR at this time also to
    focus into a nice SW to NE plume of 1000 J/kg by 09zZ into S IL/W
    KY. As such, regional RADAR and GOES-E SWIR show scattered
    thunderstorms W KY/E TN with greater cooling towers across SE MO
    into NE AR with some tops reaching -60 to -65C; under increasing
    influence of right entrance ascent/evacuation aloft of 100kt 3H
    jet over N MO/N IL.

    Given the strength of flux and available moisture, cores can be
    capable of intense short-term rates with hourly totals of
    1.25-1.5" given progressive/faster cell motions. Orientation of
    cell development to the mean flow along with the scattered
    downstream development (and heavier cells across NW TN/SW KY
    earlier this evening) will allow for repeating over grounds that
    already have 0-40cm soil moisture ratios well above normal (95+
    percentile) over 60%. Hourly FFG values only further decrease
    from west to east with hourly values of 1.5"/hr and 2-2.5"/3hrs
    reducing to 1" and 2-2.5", respectively across central KY/TN.=20=20

    Toward 12z, overall low level profile will continue to align SW-NE
    and increase LLJ strength into the 35-45kt range. This should
    allow for the scattered cells to orient into a longer linear
    convective line from NE to SW though eastward propagation will
    increase reducing the potential for training...all considered
    scattered incidents of flash flooding are possible through the
    morning toward daybreak.=20

    Concerning...Heavy rainfall...Flash flooding possible

    Valid 180915Z - 181400Z

    SUMMARY...Flattening convective line shows potential for training
    over the next few hours while crossing saturated soils from recent
    heavy rainfall across southern AR.

    DISCUSSION...Recent GOES-E 10.3um and regional RADAR trends
    suggest upwind edge of best isentropic convergence across SE OK
    has seen a recent uptick in convective development. WV suite
    depicts the right entrance of a speed max in the cirrus across
    central OK at this time. This is resulting a downstream shortwave
    ridging and flattening of the 500-1000mb thickness ridge allowing
    for a more eastward propagation of the convective line likely over
    the next few hours. CAPE analysis fields suggest highest theta-E
    axis is ideally oriented for the isentropic ascent along the Red
    River Valley. Cooling tops below -65C suggests stronger updrafts
    and deeper moisture flux/rainfall production. CIRA LPW places .6
    to .75" sfc-850mb moisture with additional 850-700mb layer over
    .3-.5" allowing for totals of 1.25" to 1.4"; given 30-35kts of
    flow; flux convergence will support rates of 1.5-1.75" and given
    the orientation may allow for 1-2 hours of training before the
    core of height-falls across W OK/NW TX dig more and start to
    accelerate the cold front south and eastward and reduce the best
    ascent angle to the front from the LLJ. As such a streak or two
    of 1.5-2.5" totals remain probable across Texarkana and southern
    Arkansas.

    Unfortunately, heavy rainfall last evening has reduced upper level
    soil capacity across this area with NASA SPoRT 0-40cm saturation
    ratios well above normal in the 65-75% range. So believe FFG
    values may have likely recovered too fast and grounds may be more
    susceptible to increased run-off and potential for localized flash
    flooding. By no means will the rainfall totals be great enough
    for sizable areal coverage and/or magnitude of flash flooding, but
    the potential remains sufficient for an incident or two to occur
    through mid-morning across S Arkansas.=20

    Areas affected...Central Kentucky into Western Tennessee...

    Concerning...Heavy rainfall...Flash flooding possible

    Valid 181100Z - 181600Z

    SUMMARY...Progressive convective line with embedded intense
    downdrafts capable of 1-1.5"/hr and quick 1.5-2.5" totals across
    low FFG values suggest widely scattered incident or two of flash
    flooding remain possible through late morning.

    DISCUSSION...RADAR mosaic and GOES-E 10.3um EIR show a progressive
    convective line with slight uptick of vigor over the last hour or
    so as the deep layer moisture flux/convergence aligns with
    remaining instability axis across central KY back to SW TN. Core
    of highest theta-E air remains across W TN with 500-1000 J/kg of
    CAPE that decreases slowly northeastward into central KY. GOES-E
    WV suite shows polar upper-level trough has made main push east
    and southward out of the Plains toward the MS Valley. Broad
    divergence along the right entrance to the downstream jet streak
    through the Great Lakes continues to maintain solid large scale
    ascent while maintaining strength of the the LLJ across Arkansas
    into the TN River Valley. Surface moisture in the mid-50s,
    combined with the strong moisture flux convergence along the
    leading edge of the convective line will continue to support
    intense sub-hourly rain-rates in the range of 1.5-1.75"/hr though
    duration is likely to limit totals to 1-2" with perhaps up to an
    additional .5" within the broadening moderate precipitation
    shield.

    The progressive nature should limit overall totals; however, the
    line is moving into overall lower FFG values of 1-1.5"/hr and
    1.5-2"/3hr which remain possible of being locally exceeded.=20
    Overall coverage and magnitude of flash flooding is likely to be
    limited on the low end of exceedance. However, the potential for
    flash flooding will remain possible until about 15-18z when
    instability is nearly fully exhausted and moving into a more
    stable, lower temperature/moisture environment through the
    Cumberland Plateau.=20

    Areas affected...Northern CA into Southwest OR

    Concerning...Heavy rainfall...Flash flooding possible

    Valid 240210Z - 241410Z

    SUMMARY...An atmospheric river moving into northern CA and
    southwest OR will bring an increase in rainfall coverage and
    intensity tonight into early Tuesday. Rainfall rates locally as
    high as 0.5" to 1" in an hour may result in some flood risk.

    DISCUSSION...This is a fairly progressive system, which will limit
    the magnitude of rainfall totals and flood risk. However this is
    also a dynamic system with a strong upper jet and deep mid level
    trough moving inland. These features will help enhance ascent and
    also allow for some weak instability along the front supporting
    low topped convective elements locally enhancing rainfall rates.
    The 18z HREF neighborhood probabilities of exceeding 0.5" in an
    hour increase and expand in coverage ~04z across southwest OR and
    northwest CA and peak in the 60-90% range from 06z-12z, with the
    higher probabilities shifting southward with time. There are even
    some 1" an hour probabilities showing up, peaking ~40% in the King
    Range between 06z and 08z. The last few runs of the HRRR also
    shows peak hourly rain ~0.75-1" along a narrow band from the King
    Range into far southwest OR between ~04z and 08z. These rates
    decrease some as the low topped convective line moves inland away
    from the slightly higher instability just offshore, but both HREF
    probabilities and recent HRRR runs still support localized
    rainfall exceeding 0.5" in an hour inland. Despite the progressive
    nature of this system, the potential for these aforementioned
    higher rates does introduce some risk of rock and land slides long
    with minor flooding of urban and other flood prone areas.
    Antecedent rainfall has resulted in above average soil saturation
    and near to above average streamflows, making the flood risk a bit
    higher than it otherwise would be for such an event.=20

    Guidance also suggests we may see anther uptick in rainfall rates
    around 12z over the northern Sacramento Valley and adjacent
    foothills. A combination of enhanced low level convergence driven
    by stronger southerly flow up the valley, and slightly higher=20=20
    instability values over the valley by this time, supports this=20=20
    uptick in rainfall rates potentially towards 1" in an hour. These
    higher rates will likely be fast moving by this time, and so the=20
    heaviest rain at any one location should not last more than an=20=20
    hour or so. This will help limit impacts, although rates could be
    high enough to still result in some localized flood concerns.
    There is a chance rainfall rates between 0.5" and 1" in an hour
    could move over the Park burn scar around 12z. Rainfall rates of
    this magnitude could result in debris flows, so while confidence
    in rates reaching these magnitudes remains low, observational
    trends will need to be monitored closely late tonight into Tuesday
    morning.

    Mesoscale Precipitation Discussion 1184
    NWS Weather Prediction Center College Park MD
    825 AM EST Tue Dec 24 2024

    Areas affected...Eastern Central Valley & Lower Slopes of Sierra
    Nevada of California...

    Concerning...Heavy rainfall

    Valid 241330Z - 242200Z

    SUMMARY...Quick hitting AR is starting to weaken, but 1-1.25" of
    upslope along lower slopes of central and southern Sierra Nevada
    will continue to pose a heavy rainfall threat into the afternoon.

    DISCUSSION...GOES-W WV suite shows the very strong cyclone that
    spurred the strong moisture advection and strong winds with this
    Atmospheric River has lifted north and is making landfall
    along/north of Vancouver island into central BC. However, the
    base of the longer wave trough remains off-shore and is pressing
    eastward toward the central CA coast. Weak sub-tropical ridging
    just NE of the right entrance of the polar jet (see upstream wedge
    of mid to upper level strato-cu with west-east transverse banding
    signture) well south, generally parallel to Cape Conception.=20=20
    CIRA LPW shows a severing of the core of the AR plume about this
    location as well; combine this with slowly deminishing winds and
    the AR IVT values are and expected to continue to reduce over the
    next 6-9 hours, with a continued bifurcation of the moisture plume
    near surface and mid-levels broadening post-frontally. 13z
    surface analysis depicts the cold front starting to push though
    the southern portion of the northern Valley, though low level flow
    remains backed across the northern Valley. Residual deep moisture
    and steepening lapse rates will allow for increasing instability
    and recent HRRR suggests a few lingering convective cores remain
    possible across the Valley moving southeastward post-frontally and
    intersecting the already saturated lower slopes of Tehama, Butte
    and Yuba counties with potential of spotty .5-1" additional totals
    to maintain ongoing flooding concerns in the area.

    The main AR core along/ahead of the cold front had an excellent
    broad, higher reflectivity core that resulted in .5-1"/hr rates
    but that continues to weaken with the aforementioned reduction of
    moisture and flux. Still, the leading edge will have solid
    moisture and fairly orthogonal intersection with the lower slopes
    of the central and southern Sierra Nevada Range with .75-1" total
    PWat and 35 reducing to mid-20kt flow to allow for .5"/hr reducing
    to .25"/hr rates for 1-3 hours resulting in quick .75-1.25"
    totals. This may near the naturally lower FFG values (.5-.75"/hr
    or .75-1"/3hr) of within the complex/steeper terrain with a very
    low but non-zero risk of widely scattered exceedance; though the
    probability does not rise to FF possible category and will
    consider this a Heavy Rainfall discussion and likely last MPD for
    this event as the front rapidly presses through the Sierra Nevada
    after 21z.

    Mesoscale Precipitation Discussion 1185
    NWS Weather Prediction Center College Park MD
    904 AM EST Tue Dec 24 2024

    Areas affected...North/Northeast Texas...Portions of SE OK & SW
    AR...

    Concerning...Heavy rainfall...Flash flooding possible

    Valid 241405Z - 241930Z

    SUMMARY...Increasing convective activity with potential of
    1.5"+/hr rates with back-building and short-term training
    potential may exceed FFG, especially near urban centers resulting
    in possible localized flash flooding.

    DISCUSSION...GOES-E 10.3um loop shows convection breaking out
    along the frontal zone across North Texas into the Red River
    Valley with steady increasing lightning detection within most
    active cores, particularly along the upstream edge. Surface
    analysis denotes a weak surface low near F02 with stationary front
    meandering through the Red River with northern stream cold front
    slowly dropping southwest across eastern portions of the Big
    Country back through the Concho Valley; south of which, returning
    Gulf moisture is starting to encroach with reinforcing shot of
    enhanced theta-E with mid 60s Tds in the southern Triangle lifting
    north as well. CIRA LPW shows a slug of detached mid-level
    moisture from the Pacific stream pooled along the frontal boundary
    in association with a weak shortwave over northeast OK. GOES-E WV
    suite also denotes, core of northern stream upstream larger scale
    wave is starting to dig across the Central High Plains;
    effectively strengthening the low level flow to further enhanced
    deep moisture convergence over the midday into afternoon hours.=20
    This has resulted in a 500-1000mb thickness ridge over E TX that
    is supporting a veered propagation vector field that will align
    with deeper layer steering for at least a few hours across the Big
    Country into Northeast Texas providing a solid potential for 1)
    training of convection but 2) increasing upstream moisture
    convergence and steepening lapse rates (with modest mid-level
    drying from the southwest) to support increasing instability and
    convergence for development/backbuilding.=20

    In the short-term, the cells are converting modest instability
    with MLCAPE increasing to about 500-1000 J/kg along the upwind
    edge with downstream cells likely becoming a bit more elevated
    with MUCAPE pool of 500 J/kg to maintain more scattered/isolated
    cells into SW AR with time. Solid deep layer convergence and
    total PWats of 1.25" (though bulk of .75"+ at sfc/850mb layer)
    will allow for some intense rainfall production. RADAR estimates
    of 1.5"/hr have already be observed with potential for additional
    capacity if the training/repeating corridor saturates through
    depth.

    A balance of unidirectional SSW steering and some outflow/cold
    pool propagation southeastward may reduce ideal training setup
    given weaker instability totals, but risk of 2-3" totals in 2-3
    hours may result in localized flash flooding. This only increases
    in proximity to DFW urban corridor, where risk goes up and may be
    the only location that these totals may overcome the higher FFG
    given drier 30-50% soil saturation environment along and east of
    I-35...though saturation increases toward the Texarkana region,
    hence the inclusion of the area at this time. As such, a incident
    or two of flash flooding is considered possible in the near-term.=20

    150 PM EST Tue Dec 24 2024

    Areas affected...Northeast Texas...Southwest Arkansas...Northwest
    Louisiana...

    Concerning...Heavy rainfall...Flash flooding possible

    Valid 241850Z - 250030Z

    SUMMARY...A low-end threat of flash flooding continues with slow
    southeastward drift of frontal zone within favorable training/
    back-building regime.

    DISCUSSION...18z Surface analysis shows a triple point of digging
    cold front and retrograding sliver of dry line near BBD. A cold
    front connects up to a surface wave near Denton before flattening
    further into the Red River Valley just north of Texarkana.
    GOES-Visible imagery shows the effective warm sector with field of
    cu across the majority of E TX, becoming more dense closer to the
    coast given slightly higher Tds in the mid 60s and Temps nearing
    upper 70s; with the exception of a pocket of low level stratus
    that impeded filtered solar radiation across the Hill Country
    generally west of HLR/EDC/T20/BEA. The western Gulf return
    moisture flow is solid east of this shallow stratus with 20-25kts
    of flow increasing toward 30-35kt nearing the front. However,
    there is a bit of veering that has slightly reduced deep layer
    convergence, likely in continued response to the exiting shortwave
    across NW AR and an associated diffluence wedge of 3H ascent
    across north Texas. This continues to support isentropic
    slantwise ascent across the DFW metro into NE TX in proximity to
    the frontal boundary and the convergence is maintaining some
    convective cells into northeast TX, though weaker lapse rates due
    reduce MUCAPE values below 750 J/kg before reaching SE OK/SW AR
    where broader moderate shield precipitation continues.

    Recent RADAR mosaic and GOES-E Visible shows some upstream
    redevelopment in the core of the peak MLCAPE maxima on the NE side
    of the stratus where mid-level SWly flow is providing mid-level
    drying and increased lapse rates; near Hamilton county to Bosque
    county where values are slowly increasing from 1000 J/kg to 1500
    J/kg with further heating. Moisture flux/pooling in/near the
    boundary will aid low-level convergence to support rainfall
    production with capability of 1.5"+/hr rates similar to this
    morning's bout that could occasionally tick up to 2"/hr IF
    prolonged training deepens moisture profile in depth. As cold
    pool generation may overcome due to evaporative cooling; it will
    be a storm scale interaction balance and most likely be widely
    scattered in nature and limited in duration and therefore
    coverage. Still, this may result in localized 2-3" totals in
    less than 2-3 hours. Unlike earlier this morning, the line of
    convection is less likely to track through larger urban, more
    hydrophobic ground conditions and rainfall totals are are the
    lower end of exceeding the slightly higher FFG in the region.=20
    Still, an isolated case of FF still remains possible.

    Downstream into far NE TX/SW AR...
    Instability is likely to continue to be the limiting factor but
    stronger isentropic ascent and with increasingly confluent
    850-700mb moisture streams may allow for a broader shield
    precipitation to form with occasional embedded convective cores
    that ramp up run-off in the short-term. Increasingly deeper
    cyclogenesis should also enhanced WAA/moisture flux to the region
    that this activity may increase toward end of daylight hours with
    rates of 1-1.5"/hr scattered within the deeper unidirectional
    steering flow. Similar 2-3" totals may exist and while not as
    flashy in nature given the longer duration; isolated flooding
    conditions may evolve though 00z across NE TX into SW AR where
    soil saturation values are more average to slightly above average
    per NASA SPoRT 0-40cm RSM fields.=20=20

    733 PM EST Tue Dec 24 2024

    Areas affected...east-central/southeastern TX

    Concerning...Heavy rainfall...Flash flooding possible

    Valid 250030Z - 250600Z

    SUMMARY...A few areas of flash flooding, especially across urban
    locations, will be possible through 06Z for portions of east-central/southeastern TX. Rainfall rates of 2 to 3 in/hr are
    expected but should remain localized.

    DISCUSSION...00Z surface observations showed a complex depiction
    of effective boundaries in place over central and eastern TX, but
    with two of the more significant features driving ongoing
    convection being a wavy stationary front and southward extending
    trough axis south of the DFW metroplex and the leading edge of
    higher theta-e air which extended from near RWV to GLS.
    Thunderstorms were scattered across the region but have recently
    been increasing along/ahead of a pre-frontal trough axis/wind
    shift located east of I-35 and extending to just south of SSF. SPC
    mesoanalysis showed uninhibited MLCAPE of 500-1500 J/kg within the
    warm sector of the wavy stationary front to the north, and 2000+
    along the middle to lower TX coast. Anomalous moisture (PWATs 1.0
    to 1.4 inches) combined with favorable instability/shear profiles
    have allowed for organized cells with slower cell motions than the
    deeper-layer mean wind of 15-25 kt. One of these slower cells
    resulted in observed 2-3 in/hr rainfall rates in a southeastern
    Houston suburb ending 2330Z with MRMS showing occasional/spotty
    rates in the 2-3 in/hr since 21Z over north-central TX.

    As the base of a mid to upper-level trough continues to amplify
    over central TX early tonight while translating eastward, forcing
    will be aided by diffluent flow downstream over eastern TX.
    Thunderstorms are likely to continue expanding near the southward
    extending trough axis over east-central TX within the reservoir of
    instability as well as near the quasi-stationary fronts over
    northeastern and southeastern TX. Mean/unidirectional southwest
    flow is likely to allow for some training and repeating cells with
    increasing 850 mb winds overnight (up to ~25 kt) possibly
    supporting slower cell movement and brief backbuilding. Localized
    2-3 in/hr rainfall rates will be likely with isolated 2-3 hour
    rainfall totals of 3-5 inches possible.

    While soils have been fairly dry over this portion of TX over the
    past couple of weeks and FFG values are fairly high (3-5 inches in
    3 hours), overlap of heavy rain with any urban areas will
    exacerbate flash flood potential due to poor drainage of these
    potential higher rates. A few areas of flash flooding will be
    possible, but the threat is expected to remain relatively
    localized.

    103 AM EST Wed Dec 25 2024

    Areas affected...Southeast TX, including Middle and Upper TX Coast

    Concerning...Heavy rainfall...Flash flooding possible

    Valid 250600Z - 251200Z

    Summary...Flash flooding remains possible overnight with localized
    rainfall rates of 1-3"/hr and additional short-term totals as high
    as 3-5" (favored in the vicinity of Victoria and around the Middle
    TX Coast).

    Discussion...A digging shortwave trough is driving a complex of
    thunderstorms over portions of Southeast TX, gradually moving
    towards the Middle and Upper TX Coast. Peak rainfall rates have
    generally ranged from 1-2"/hr, though occasionally have peaked
    between 2-3"/hr along the southern end of the complex (per MRMS
    estimates). The mesoscale environment is characterized by ML CAPE
    of 500-1750 J/kg, precipitable water values of 1.2-1.4 inches
    (near the 90th percentile for late December, per CRP sounding
    climatology), and deep layer (0-6 km shear) of 25-50 kts (with
    both instability and shear maximized in the vicinity of Victoria).

    Going forward, the expectation is for the complex of thunderstorms
    to remain active until near dawn, particularly along the southern
    portions of the complex. Not only is this the best environment for
    discrete convection, but supercells have already favored this area
    with bunkers right motions supporting slow storm motions (10-15
    kts). With both the strongest and slowest convection near the
    Middle TX Coast, the highest localized totals of 3-5" are possible
    here (per 00z HREF 40-km probabilities for 3" exceedance of
    30-50%, as well as more recent runs of the HRRR indicating totals
    near 5"). Farther north (including the greater Houston metro
    area), lower instability and a stronger cold pool should support
    weaker and faster storm motions, generally limiting additional
    totals to the 1-2" range.

    Areas affected...Western WA...Western OR...

    Concerning...Heavy rainfall

    Valid 251700Z - 260300Z

    SUMMARY...Strong deepening dynamics will back winds toward more
    favorable orographic ascent by 19-20z and increase rainfall
    efficiency to near .5"/hr in favored spots by 00-03z. Runoff will
    likely increase stream flows, but flooding is not expected quite
    yet except for the most vulnerable/traditional locations.

    DISCUSSION...GOES-W WV suite shows a compact shortwave crossing
    the Southeast Gulf of AK at the far southeast edge of the global
    scale trof that has been dominating the Bering Sea. The compact
    wave as a solid negative tilt to it associated with a broad strong
    polar Pacific Jet with a 150-170kt 250mb streak supporting solid
    low level strengthening wind profile with a strong warm front
    starting to press eastward with 700-500mb moisture flux & WAA
    resulting in lighter showers across W WA and NW OR at this time.=20
    Low level winds continue to strengthen with 40-50kts at 850-700mb
    per LGX VWP but remaining mainly parallel to the coast, but
    increasing reflectivity and polar microwave passes suggest warm
    front is approaching quickly and will veer the wind profile toward
    21z across W WA and W OR. This will be accompanied by the core of
    the sub-tropical moisture stream; with leading 850-700mb moisture
    advected on 60-70kts of flow with IVT values increasing from 400
    kg/m/s toward 600 kg/m/s. Upslope component on the SW facing
    Olympics and Willapa Hills will see first brunt with .33"
    increasing to near, occasionally reaching .5"/hr rates by 00z=20
    when winds start to peak near 80kts from the SW and IVT peaks near
    850-900 kg/m/s. Rainfall totals of 1.5-2.5" by 03z, are likely to
    fully saturate the remaining capacity of the upper soils.=20
    Currently, much of the area is about 70-80% capacity through 40cm
    and while a lot, this is above average in the 70th percentile near
    the coast but increasing toward 75-80th percentile in the higher
    elevations and further inland. As a result, increased run-off
    will be channeled to the streams; and while this is a strong AR,
    the duration is not expected to be long to result in any sizable
    flooding but increase stream flows in preparation for subsequent
    AR surges over the following days.

    As the front passes winds will slacken and veer to more due west
    and much of NW WA will be out of the core of the AR moisture plume
    with .5-.75" PWATs...while shifting into W OR with 1 to nearing
    1.25" total PWats. This will maintain stronger rates in the
    coastal range of W OR for a few more hours before the next
    wave/lifts northward later on Thursday morning. Still by 03z,
    west facing orography in NW OR will experience 1-2.5" of rain even
    to the tops of the peaks, while .5-1" totals are expected in the
    lower valleys (less than .25" in traditional shadowed locations.=20
    Similarly, a good soaking and setting the stage for a likely
    active pattern of AR pulses though the weekend; however flooding
    is not likely to be an issue with exception of the most susceptible/traditionally flooded areas.=20=20=20

    Areas affected...Northern Texas...Southeastern Oklahoma...

    Concerning...Heavy rainfall...Flash flooding possible

    Valid 261400Z - 261930Z

    SUMMARY...Warm advective wing of highly dynamic cyclogenesis
    already breaking out elevated convection. Continued increasing
    moisture flux and slow instability advection to increase rainfall
    rates to 1.5"/hr crossing areas of recent heavy rainfall.=20
    Short-term training elements pose risk of localized possible flash
    flooding.

    DISCUSSION...A very strong and sharp shortwave can be seen moving
    out of the Texas Panhandle into western OK. A strong digging
    100kt jet parallel to the Front Range of the Rockies decelerates
    sharply before rounding a slowly negatively tilting trof across
    the Big country then rapidly accelerating into 100-105kt SSW jet
    across the MOKSAROK placing much of northeast Texas into a very dynamic/favorable upper-level pattern for rapid evacuation and
    strengthening low level flow...as noted by transverse banded
    activity across the Big Country. Deep layer moisture has been
    limited to the Gulf; but recent CIRA LPW suite denotes that the
    strengthening low level jet in response to the height-falls is
    advecting increasing moisture and higher theta-E across central TX
    toward the region.

    The nose of the MUCAPE axis has recently nudged into the area of
    ascent with 500 to 750 J/kg being analyzed; and as such, recent
    convective towers have been forming along the northeast edge of
    the Hill country with active increasing lightning detected.=20
    Strong WAA pattern from the SW through 700-500mb, indicates the
    strong steering pattern; but with the low level moisture and WAA
    response, redevelopment along the effective boundary slowly
    lifting northeastward across N TX, will allow for some convective
    elements to have a training profile. This training/back-building
    potential is likely to be the main key/driving factor to localized
    flash flooding as well as crossing areas recently saturated from
    prior rainfall two days ago. NASA SPoRT 0-40cm denotes a sharp
    gradient of soil saturation along I-35, becoming 50-65% saturated
    toward northeast TX; however, AHPS 7 day anomaly shows those
    deeper saturation may extend a county or two further west;
    increasing the potential to intersect with the heavy rainfall.

    Cells are likely to be a bit more moisture starved given limited
    mid to upper level moisture and the training is likely to help
    over come it. However, the strength of ascent and focused
    convergence in banded convective lines may allow for .5"/hr to
    increase to 1.5"/hr throughout the late morning into early
    afternoon hours with increased moisture flux. As such, streaks of
    1-3" totals are probable through the morning with slow
    northeastward expansion of the WAA. This places the rates and
    totals near or slightly above the lowered FFG values across the
    area of concern into SE OK; so localized exceedance is possible
    with increased potential in and around the urban DFW corridor.=20=20
    As such, flash flooding is considered possible.

    1141 AM EST Thu Dec 26 2024

    Areas affected...East Central and Southeast Texas...

    Concerning...Heavy rainfall...Flash flooding possible

    Valid 261645Z - 262230Z

    SUMMARY...Increasing convection is developing along confluence
    lines within the strengthening warm conveyor belt. Upstream
    moisture flux/instability advection likely to aid in storm-scale
    backbuilding resulting in periods of training. Rates increasing
    from 1.25 toward 2"/hr by 21z will allow for localized spots of
    2-4" in the next 6 hours. Localized flash flooding will be
    possible.

    DISCUSSION...A highly dynamic setup is trying to rapidly evolve an strengthening thermodynamic environment conducive of strong
    thunderstorms with intense rainfall potential for this evening.=20
    However, in the interim, smaller pockets of unstable air and
    strong dynamic ascent patterns will produce widely scattered cells
    that will have the capability of producing locally 2-4" totals by
    22z and may induce localized flash flooding.

    GOES-E WV suite shows a highly amplified upper level pattern with
    dual jets flanking a weakly negative tilt orientation across the
    Red River Valley into central TX; the upstream jet across E NM is
    about 110-120kts decelerating and descending across the Hill
    country before rounding the base and entering a broad
    strengthening 100 kt jet entance across much of central TX into E
    OK, though broader diffluence is supportive of divergence aloft
    across the Mid-Texas Gulf Coast into SE TX. attm. The old
    stationary boundary extends from near Ardmore to west of DFW metro
    toward Austin and just west of BEA/NOG under influence of the
    highly unstable western Gulf of Mexico. The strengthening LLJ
    aligns with the natural confluence of the western Gulf and is
    surging deeper moisture/instability along a rising warm coastal
    front through the Coastal Plain at this time; intersecting with
    the old surface boundary near KT20. This LLJ will act as a solid
    warm conveyor belt with embedded N-S confluence lines until the
    main upper-level height-falls and effective mid-level cold front
    presses south and eastward into the evening hours. The building
    heat from slightly clearing skies has brought temps in the low 70s
    with similar high 60s and low 70s Tds and increasing MLCAPEs to
    1500-2000 J/kg with the warm front. Convergence from
    southeasterly surface low should provide sufficient convergence
    for scattered thunderstorm development. Recent Lightningcast
    products have been rapidly increasing signals throughout the warm
    sector with a few cells even further north into east-central TX;
    with expected further expansion with further surface
    heating/instability growth.

    Cells that do develop will be ingesting solid 1.25-1.5" total PWat
    air within 30-35kt increasingly confluent flow, which should
    support back-building environment. Given the 850-700mb warm
    sector low-level shear profiles will support solid bulk shear
    values for organized updrafts with some rotation, further
    increasing moisture flux convergence and loading in the lower
    profile for efficient rainfall production. Rates of 1.25"/hr will
    increase to near 2"/hr over the next 6 hours and while coverage is
    likely to be more scattered in nature initially, the backbuilding
    and favorable orientation of convergence bands to the mean
    steering will allow for short-term periods of localized training
    to allow for some localized spots of 2-4"; with greater
    probability initially closer to the coast and along the rising
    warm front. This may intersect areas that received 2-4" of rain
    two days ago, as NASA SPoRT 0-40cm soil saturation ratios are
    modestly high particularly north and east of the Houston Metro,
    but there were some spots southwest that show 200-400% above
    normal precip anomalies on AHPS. With all this considered
    scattered incidents of flash flooding are considered possible
    before evening but will be increasing with time (and after 22z)
    across the area of concern.

    Areas affected...Northeast TX...Southeast OK...Far Southwest AR...

    Concerning...Heavy rainfall...Flash flooding possible

    Valid 261900Z - 270100Z

    SUMMARY...Reducing instability, rainfall efficiency; but slower
    moving cells with some training pose spots of 2-3" and widely
    scattered possible flash flooding through evening.

    DISCUSSION...The window for excessive rainfall inducing localized
    flash flooding is starting to close due to multiple factors; one
    being convection moving into areas of higher FFG, though still
    equally saturated in the 0-40 cm layer with NASA Sport RSM still
    in the 60-70% range. The second is reducing moisture flux and
    available instability. Yet, a training steering profile still
    remains as well as potential for stationary cells near the
    pivoting deep layer cyclone over Northern Texas toward 00z.

    Currently, regional RADAR mosaic and GOES-E suite of imagery show
    the decaying convection along the effective 850-700mb warm front
    across NW LA/SW AR angling back to the developing deep layer pivot
    of the cyclone over the central Red River Valley between North and
    Northwest Texas. Strong height-falls as the upper-level jet and
    5H trough swing more negative tilt across central to northeast
    Texas; the effective 850mb cold front is aligning to the surface
    and is pressing much faster eastward to the south. A mid-level
    dry slot/descent channel is starting to pinch in proximity to
    Falls, Robertson and Bell county and the LLJ is starting to take a
    more branched appearance as the confluent flow increases
    convective activity along the trailing convergent southwesterly
    flow and effectively severs the best deep layer moisture transport
    along and ahead of the effective 850mb advancing front.=20

    Currently, the window is still open and MUCAPE values 750 J/kg
    nosing toward 1000 J/kg are still within access and ascend through
    the western branch of the TROWAL to maintain/promote convective
    activity across the Heart of Texas region. The southerly backing
    30kt flow is supporting 1.25" total PWats mainly below 700mb to
    providing solid flux convergence for efficient rainfall production
    for the next few hours with rates of 1-1.25" slowly diminishing
    with time. Deep layer steering at the nose/left rotor of the
    developing dry slot may allow for cells to angle sufficiently for
    some short-term SW to NE training from Freestone/Navarro county
    region to Red River/Cass counties over the next 4-6 hours. As the
    dry slot severs the connection rates will drop below 1"/hr and
    overall totals will reduce to less than the rising FFG values in
    far NE TX, reducing the potential for low-end flash flooding
    conditions.

    A secondary risk may start to occur near the pivot of the deep
    layer cyclone as it crosses North Texas toward 00z. Steepening
    lapse rates and remaining modest pooled moisture and convergent
    flow along the southeast quadrant may spark a few narrow core
    convective cells. Deep layer steering will be near zero near the
    center of the low, allowing for Subtle Heavy Rainfall Signature
    (SHaRS) events with 1-1.5"/hr rates falling over areas having
    recently experienced prolonged moderate shield precipitation
    across the Red River Valley and across into S OK. These would be
    very spotty in nature, but the intensity of the rates in such a
    small area could pose a localized flash flooding risk as well.

    Areas affected...southeastern TX into western LA

    Concerning...Heavy rainfall...Flash flooding likely

    Valid 262356Z - 270500Z

    SUMMARY...Training and repeating of thunderstorms will continue a
    flash flood threat from southeastern TX into western LA through
    05Z. Rainfall rates of 1-2 in/hr and localized totals of 2-4
    inches can be expected.

    DISCUSSION...Regional radar imagery at 2330Z across the South
    showed a line of thunderstorms extending from northwestern LA into
    the Piney Woods of southeastern TX with a second line extending
    from Jasper/Newton counties to roughly Matagorda Bay. These storms
    were occurring just ahead of a pre-frontal trough/wind shift
    located east of a cold front moving through east-central TX. SPC
    mesoanalysis data from 23Z showed PWATs of 1.4 to 1.7 inches
    coincident with the thunderstorm axis and MLCAPE of 500-2000 J/kg
    from the central TX/LA border to the mid TX coast. Favorable shear
    profiles ahead of a potent mid-level vorticity max (over north TX)
    have supported supercells with enhanced rainfall rates while mean
    steering flow from the southwest has resulted in areas of training
    and/or repeating rounds of heavy rain from the northern TX/LA
    border into the southeastern TX Coastal Plain.

    Over the next 3-5 hours, the best upper level support (PVA, upper diffluence/divergence) will shift eastward from the Arklatex into
    northern LA/southern AR. However, RAP forecasts of instability
    show only a small pocket of 500-1000 MUCAPE just ahead of the
    mid-level low center which should be steadily tracking east
    through the first half of tonight. Due to lower instability
    profiles, a lower end flash flood threat will exist for these
    northern locations where strong forcing will should be balanced by
    a fairly progressive translation of heavy rain toward the east and
    limited instability.

    Farther south, a lack of height falls for the Gulf Coast region
    should result in a slower eastward progression of heavy rain. It
    is here where greater instability is forecast to reside within the
    warm sector (500-1500 J/kg MLCAPE). 850 mb winds of 40-60 kt from
    the southwest and similarly oriented mean steering flow will allow
    for areas of training and repeating thunderstorms capable of 1-2
    in/hr (perhaps locally above 2 in/hr) due to a slower eastward
    progression to the axis of thunderstorms. 2-4 inches of rain over
    a roughly 2 hour window is expected to result in a couple of areas
    of flash flooding through 05Z from southeastern TX into western LA.

    Areas affected...Southwest OR...Northern and Central CA

    Concerning...Heavy rainfall

    Valid 270245Z - 271200Z

    SUMMARY...New atmospheric river surge arriving overnight will
    bring additional rounds of heavy rainfall and potentially some
    localized flooding and runoff concerns.

    DISCUSSION...The latest GOES-W Airmass RGB satellite imagery shows
    a new shortwave trough amplifying offshore of the West Coast which
    will drive a new area of cyclogenesis overnight. The developing
    low center will arrive across the coastal ranges of northwest OR
    and southwest WA by early Friday morning. To the south of this low
    center will be a renewed deep layer fetch of Pacific moisture that
    will overrun the coastal ranges down the coast, and especially
    across southwest OR and into northern and central CA.

    A warm front offshore of the West Coast will be approaching as
    rather strong IVT magnitudes encroach on the region. Enhanced low
    to mid-level flow around the southern flank of the shortwave
    trough will drive IVT values upwards of 750 to 1000 kg/m/s at
    least for several hours (generally between 03Z and 09Z) as the
    warm front arrives and advances inland. Later tonight and toward
    12Z, the low center entering the Pacific Northwest will drive a
    cold front inland across the coastal ranges.

    PWs are forecast to reach as high as 1 to 1.25+ inches, and
    reaching locally as high as 2 to 3+ standard deviations above
    normal with the greater anomalies forecast to set up in the 06Z to
    12Z time frame down across the Bay Area. Even areas a bit farther
    south down the coast around Monterey are expected to see a notable
    increase in PWs overnight as this latest atmospheric river surge
    arrives.

    The latest HREF guidance shows rather high probabilities of seeing
    at least a few hours of potential 0.50"+/hour rainfall rates
    impacting the orographically favored terrain from southwest OR
    down through northwest CA and also portions of the Bay Area in the
    06Z to 12Z time frame. Some of these heavier rains may also at
    least locally spillover into the far northern Sacramento Valley
    and the foothills of the northern Sierra Nevada, but generally the
    heaviest rates should be across the coastal ranges. This will
    coincide with the strongest window of forcing from warm air
    advection and higher IVT parameters. After 12Z, the rates should
    diminish rather substantially as the energy associated this latest
    system advances rapidly inland.

    Additional rainfall totals going through 12Z (4AM PST) Friday
    morning are expected to reach 2 to 3 inches with isolated heavier
    amounts possible. Given the wet antecedent conditions, these
    additional rains may result in some localized flooding concerns
    and this will include some urban flooding potential around the Bay
    Area tonight.

    Areas affected...Southwest and Central LA...Western and Central MS

    Concerning...Heavy rainfall...Flash flooding possible

    Valid 270500Z - 271100Z

    SUMMARY...A broken axis of heavy showers and thunderstorms will
    continue to foster a localized threat for some flash flooding
    overnight across portions of southwest to central LA through
    western and central MS.

    DISCUSSION...The latest GOES-E IR satellite imagery shows a
    vigorous shortwave trough and compact low center transiting the
    Lower MS Valley which continues to foster a rather well-organized,
    but broken axis of heavy showers and thunderstorms. The activity
    has waned somewhat over the last couple of hours as the stronger
    mid and upper-level dynamics begin to lift away from the area of
    greater instability pooled closer to the Gulf Coast, but the
    low-level flow remains rather strong and convergent. In fact, the
    area VWP data continues to show a 40 to 50+ kt low-level jet
    surging northward up toward the Mid-South from the Gulf Coast and
    this is maintaining a corridor of strong moisture transport and
    convergence along and just ahead of a cold front.

    MUCAPE values of 1000 to 1500 J/kg are still noted across areas of
    southwest LA which taper down to 500 to 1000 J/kg across central
    LA and into far southwest MS. The level of effective bulk shear
    that is in place remains quite strong and is locally exceeding 50
    kts which is still favoring a fair degree of convective
    organization with the band of thunderstorms including some
    supercell structures. These stronger cells will continue to have
    the capability of producing very heavy rainfall rates that will
    locally reach 1.5 to 2.5 inches/hour, and this will be aided by
    PWs of near 1.5 inches and the aforementioned low-level jet.

    The 00Z HREF guidance suggests that some southwest to northeast
    training of these more organized cells may still occur at least
    locally going through the overnight hours, with some spotty swaths
    of 2 to 4 inch rainfall totals possible. As a result, the
    convective activity is expected to still foster a localized threat
    for some flash flooding and especially within any of the more
    urbanized corridors.

    Areas affected...southern MS/AL into far western FL Panhandle

    Concerning...Heavy rainfall...Flash flooding possible

    Valid 280121Z - 280630Z

    SUMMARY...A threat for training will be heightened across southern
    MS into southern AL and far western FL through at least 06Z. The
    potential for localized flash flooding from rainfall rates in the
    1-3 in/hr range will exist.

    DISCUSSION...Regional radar imagery across the central Gulf Coast
    at 0115Z showed a SW to NE oriented axis of thunderstorms
    stretching from the southern coast of MS into central AL. A second
    axis, with only a widely scattered coverage of cells, was present
    from the offshore waters south of the MS/AL border into portions
    of far southern AL. The environment along and southwest of a
    stationary front extending through southern MS/AL contained
    500-1500 J/kg MLCAPE and 1.5 to 1.7 inch precipitable water values
    (per 01Z SPC mesoanalysis and 00Z LIX sounding). Low level
    confluent flow just above the surface was a main driver in the
    ongoing axis of convection but lift within the right-entrance
    region of a departing 100 kt upper level jet streak over the OH
    Valley may also be contributing to ascent across the Deep South.

    As a shortwave and associated jet energy continue to pull away
    from the region tonight, greater synoptic lift will be weakening
    but the low level confluent flow is expected to remain from far
    southern MS into southern/central AL with a gradual eastward
    translation with time. Instability and moisture parameters will be
    supportive of 1-3 in/hr rainfall rates where cells train. Since
    FFG values are fairly high (3 to 5 inches in 3 hours), the flash
    flood threat should be localized in nature and likely more of an
    issue if areas of training focus atop metropolitan regions, such
    as Mobile and/or Pensacola. The threat for training and high
    rainfall rates is expected to continue until at least 06Z tonight.

    Areas affected...Southwest OR...Northwest CA

    Concerning...Heavy rainfall

    Valid 280305Z - 281300Z

    SUMMARY...The latest in a series of atmospheric river surges will
    be arriving overnight across southwest OR and northwest CA with a
    new round of focused heavy rain over the coastal ranges.

    DISCUSSION...The GOES-W Airmass RGB satellite imagery shows
    another strong shortwave trough gradually approaching the Pacific
    Northwest which will be favoring the arrival of a new area of
    deepening surface low pressure near Vancouver Island by early
    Saturday morning. To the south of this low center evolution, a
    renewed deep layer surge of Pacific moisture and associated
    atmospheric river activity will be overrunning the coastal ranges
    of southwest OR and northwest CA.

    Strong low to mid-level westerly Pacific flow overnight will allow
    a warm front to approach the region and advance quickly inland
    across northern CA, with a trailing cold front that will then
    gradually begin to cross the coastal ranges by early Saturday
    morning. IVT magnitudes will rise rather sharply over the next
    several hours across especially southwest OR and far northwest CA,
    including Coos, Curry and Del Norte Counties, with values
    increasing to over 750 kg/m/s by 06Z.

    Enhanced warm air advection and moisture transport into the
    orographically favored terrain will likely result in rainfall
    rates approaching and locally exceeding a 0.50"/hour. The 18Z HREF
    guidance shows elevated probabilities (50 to 70 percent) of this
    occurring with potentially some brief 0.75"/hour rates occurring
    as the IVT values peak overnight just ahead of the approaching
    offshore cold front.

    The IVT magnitudes will then be dropping off in the 09Z to 12Z
    time frame which will allow for the rainfall rates and shower
    activity to at least diminish early Saturday morning, but the
    aforementioned cold front that arrives will also be tending to
    slow down which will keep the front in close proximity to the
    coastal ranges of northwest CA through Saturday morning.

    Additional rainfall amounts going through 12Z of 2 to 4 inches are
    likely for especially the coastal ranges of southwest OR and
    northwest CA, with isolated heavier amounts. Given the already wet
    antecedent conditions and high streamflows, these rains are
    expected to foster at least some localized concerns for runoff
    problems and flooding.

    Areas affected...Southern MS...Southwest AL...Far Western FL
    Panhandle

    Concerning...Heavy rainfall...Flash flooding likely

    Valid 280410Z - 281010Z

    SUMMARY...Extremely heavy rainfall associated with training
    showers and thunderstorms is expected over the next several hours
    just north of the Gulf Coast involving portions of southern MS,
    southwest AL and the far western FL Panhandle. Flash flooding is
    already occurring locally and is expected to continue overnight,
    including growing concerns for major urban flash flooding.

    DISCUSSION...The latest GOES-E IR satellite imagery in conjunction
    with dual pol radar shows a corridor of extremely heavy shower and
    thunderstorm activity impacting portions of Harrison and Jackson
    Counties in southern MS, along with Mobile and Baldwin Counties in
    southwest AL. The convection over the last hour has been growing
    further in organization with cooling convective tops (as low as
    -65C) and the activity showing well-defined cell-training and
    backbuilding characteristics.

    This convection is being driving by moist, convergent and unstable
    low-level flow advancing north in close proximity to a warm front.
    This coupled with a focused axis of moisture convergence and
    divergent flow aloft is likely to foster a continuation of locally
    concentrated and slow-moving showers and thunderstorms with
    cell-training concerns going well into the overnight hours.

    MLCAPE values of near 1000 to 1500 J/kg have been pooling across
    the central Gulf Coast region, and the 00Z RAOB from LIX along
    with the latest CIRA-ALPW imagery shows a rather deep column of
    moisture in place with PWs of 1.5 to 1.7 inches. This coupled with
    as much as 30 to 40 kts of effective bulk shear, and the proximity
    of the warm front should favor organized convection capable of
    producing rainfall rates as high as 2 to 3 inches/hour with the
    strongest cells.

    A look at the 00Z HREF guidance suggests additional rainfall
    totals going through dawn may reach as high as 4 to 8 inches, and
    some localized totals approaching 10+ inches cannot be ruled out
    given the enhanced backbuilding and cell-training concerns. Flash
    flooding is already occurring, and there will be major urban flash
    flooding concerns overnight along areas close to I-10. Areas near
    and just to the north of a line from Biloxi, MS to Mobile, AL and
    potentially edging east into the far western FL Panhandle north of
    Pensacola will need to be very closely monitored overnight for a
    threat for locally significant flash flooding.

    525 AM EST Sat Dec 28 2024

    Areas affected...Northern and Eastern TX...Northern LA...Southern
    AR...Western MS

    Concerning...Heavy rainfall...Flash flooding likely

    Valid 281025Z - 281625Z

    SUMMARY...Showers and thunderstorms will begin to rapidly develop
    and expand in coverage by mid to late morning. Heavy rainfall
    rates and wet antecedent conditions will promote increasing
    concerns for flash flooding with time.

    DISCUSSION...The early morning GOES-E Airmass RGB satellite
    imagery shows a mid to upper-level shortwave trough amplifying east-southeastward out of the southern High Plains and advancing
    toward the Red River Valley of the South. Increasingly divergent
    flow aloft and strengthening shear parameters interacting with the
    poleward transport of moisture and instability up across central
    and eastern TX will set the stage for rapidly developing clusters
    of strong thunderstorms in the 12Z to 15Z time frame across areas
    of north-central to northeast TX, with development also then
    taking place farther east in close proximity to a warm front over
    into areas of northern LA, southern AR and possibly western MS.

    This warm front will be an important focus for convection going
    toward midday as a strengthening and increasingly convergent
    southerly low-level jet reaches 30 to 40+ kts in response to
    surface low pressure deepening upstream across north-central TX.
    Already there is as much as 1500 to 2500 J/kg of MLCAPE noted over south-central to southeast TX and southern LA which will be
    lifting north over the next several hours. The convection should
    rather quickly become organized with combinations of multicell and
    supercell thunderstorms evolving and growing upscale in a west to
    east fashion as stronger upstream forcing arrives in conjunction
    with the strengthening low-level jet.

    PWs increasing to 1.25 to 1.5 inches coupled with the instability
    and strengthening shear will likely favor the stronger storms by
    late morning producing rainfall rates as high as 1 to 2
    inches/hour, and there will likely be increasing concerns for some
    cell-merger activity and cell-training near the aforementioned
    warm front. Warm sector convection farther south over areas of
    eastern TX will also begin to initiate and evolve by late morning
    which will be capable of producing enhanced rainfall rates.

    Some rainfall totals of 2 to 4 inches will be possible with the
    morning activity, and with the antecedent conditions quite wet
    with elevated streamflows across much of eastern TX and into the
    Arklatex region, these rainfall amounts are expected to increase
    the threat of flash flooding. This will include an urban flash
    flood threat from near the Dallas-Fort Worth metropolitan area
    eastward over toward Shreveport. More organized coverage of strong thunderstorms (with notable severe weather concerns) along with
    heavy rainfall and flash flooding will evolve beyond this period,
    and expect more MPDs to be issued accordingly.

    Areas affected...eastern TX, northern LA, southern AR,
    northwestern MS

    Concerning...Heavy rainfall...Flash flooding likely

    Valid 281700Z - 282230Z

    SUMMARY...Areas of training heavy rain, with rates of 1-3 in/hr,
    will affect portions of eastern TX into northern LA, southern AR
    and perhaps far northwestern MS through 22Z. Rainfall totals of
    3-5 inches in 2-3 hours will be possible across a SW to NE
    oriented axis, overlapping TX/LA/AR.

    DISCUSSION...Regional radar imagery at 17Z showed scattered to
    widespread thunderstorms from the AR/LA border into northeastern
    TX. Convection extended roughly near/north of a stationary front
    which was analyzed WSW from the MS/AR border into eastern TX at
    17Z. Convection transitioned into a QLCS with southeastward bowing
    observed across I-20 in eastern TX. Meanwhile, an upstream NNE to
    SSW axis of thunderstorms was pressing east along I-35 between ACT
    and SAT, located just ahead of a pre-frontal trough/dryline. 30-40
    kt of SW 925-850 mb flow was advecting moisture northward through
    southeastern TX into the stationary front which marked a gradient
    in MLCAPE with roughly 500-1500 J/kg along the boundary via 16Z
    SPC mesoanalysis data.

    As a potent mid-level shortwave continues to advance east from
    central TX today, downstream forcing will increase as an upper
    level jet max becomes better defined over eastern OK, placing
    right-entrance ascent over the Arklatex to Lower MS Valley. Low
    level winds may also increase a little more into the afternoon
    ahead of the upper trough axis. Thunderstorms are expected to
    continue to expand in coverage ahead of the advancing convective
    line near I-35 with low level convergence near the stationary
    front aligning with mean SW steering flow to support
    training/repeating cores of heavy rain. PWAT coverage of 1.5
    inches and greater is forecast to expand across the region,
    coupled with more than sufficient instability and favorable shear
    to promote organized cells. Thunderstorms will be capable of
    producing 1 to 3 in/hr rainfall rates due to training and
    repeating rounds could amount to 3-5 inches of rain in a 2 to 3
    hour period.

    The greatest concern for training and the heaviest rainfall totals
    through 22Z will be in the vicinity of the stationary front from
    northeastern TX into northern LA/southern AR and perhaps far
    northwestern MS. Farther south, while the convective line near
    I-35 is likely to remain progressive from west to east, additional
    development ahead of the line and periods of short term training
    within the convective axis may still promote a threat for flash
    flooding across portions of southeastern TX into western LA.

    Areas affected...far southeastern TX into lower/middle MS Valley

    Concerning...Heavy rainfall...Flash flooding likely

    Valid 282142Z - 290330Z

    SUMMARY...An axis of training heavy rain is expected to produce
    scattered areas of flash flooding from far southeastern TX into
    the lower/middle MS valley through 03Z. Rainfall rates of 1 to 2
    in/hr (locally higher) are expected.

    DISCUSSION...Regional radar imagery at 0415Z showed a NE to SW
    oriented axis of thunderstorms tracking slowly toward the east
    from southeastern AR into LA and far southeastern TX. Cell speeds
    were slowest in the vicinity of a quasi-stationary front that was
    analyzed from western TN/northwestern MS into southeastern AR,
    with a surface low becoming better defined along the front roughly
    35 miles west of Monroe, LA. South of this low, a cold front was
    moving southeast/east but cells ahead of the front were more
    intense than those to the north with generally colder cloud tops,
    greater lightning frequency and higher MRMS hourly rainfall
    estimates. This was due to the numerous coverage of cells
    (including supercells) along/ahead of the cold front near the
    lower Sabine River to the MS River, with mergers and brief
    training coupling with greater individual cell organization. SPC
    mesoanalysis data from 21Z showed 1500 to 2500+ J/kg MLCAPE in
    place from the LA/MS border into the southeastern TX Coastal
    Plain.

    Water vapor imagery showed that a strong shortwave trough over
    east-central TX was beginning to take on a negative tilt.
    Increasing diffluence and divergence aloft, downstream of the
    shortwave, will overspread the lower and middle MS Valley through
    the late evening. As this happens, the surface low over northern
    LA is expected to organize and track northward up the MS River
    Valley. The southward extending cold front will pick up speed and
    sweep southeastward across southeast TX and LA. While the forward
    speed of the cold front will limit flash flood potential across TX
    and portions of LA, multiple rounds with cells in the pre-frontal environment/mergers and brief training will still pose an isolated
    flash flood threat for these regions.

    Farther north, slow movement of the quasi-stationary front and
    increasing low level moisture transport ahead of the organizing
    surface low will wrap moisture back to the west, north of the low,
    with an expected longer duration of rainfall rates of 1-2 in/hr
    and perhaps the highest additional rainfall totals for the region
    through 03Z, on the order of 2 to 4+ inches from near the MS River
    into northwestern MS and southwestern TN. FFG values are lower for
    these northern areas 2-3 inches in 3 hours, and therefore, flash
    flooding appears likely.

    Areas affected...Central Gulf Coast...Mid-South

    Concerning...Heavy rainfall...Flash flooding possible

    Valid 290230Z - 290830Z

    SUMMARY...Strong to severe thunderstorms associated with an
    eastward advancing QLCS will continue to foster some potential for
    areas of flash flooding going into the overnight hours.

    DISCUSSION...The latest GOES-E IR satellite imagery in conjunction
    with dual-pol radar shows a well-defined QLCS continuing to
    advance off to the east across large areas of the Mid-South with
    an extension essentially from northern MS south-southwestward down
    into southeast LA. This continues to be associated with a strong
    mid-level trough ejecting out of the Lower MS Valley and lifting
    toward the Mid-South as it gradually takes on a neutral to
    slightly negative tilt. Enhanced deep layer ascent and shear
    continues to interact with a strong southerly low-level jet of 40
    to 60+ kts and this will continue to drive a well-organized axis
    of convection downstream across much of the South going through
    the overnight hours.

    MLCAPE values of 1500 to 2500 J/kg are noted across southeast LA
    into far southern MS, and this coupled with higher PWs reaching
    over 1.5 inches should tend to drive heavier rainfall rates across
    this area with the more organized convective cells that will be
    crossing this region over the next several hours. The convection
    in general across the central Gulf Coast region including
    southeast LA, southern MS and southern AL may tend to take on more
    of a southwest to northeast orientation going through 06Z which
    will facilitate some areas of cell-training.

    Farther to the north, the instability does drop off rather
    considerably, and especially for areas up across northern MS,
    northern AL and through middle TN, but with such strong dynamical
    forcing crossing this region, there should still be at least some
    broken QLCS activity that fosters heavy rainfall. This portion of
    the overall convective axis is certainly more progressive though
    which will tend to keep the overall rainfall potential a bit more
    limited.

    Rainfall rates with the stronger and more organized storms, and
    especially the supercell activity closer to the central Gulf
    Coast, will still be capable of reaching 1.5 to 2.5 inches/hour.
    For areas that do see cell-training, some additional rainfall
    amounts of 2 to 4 inches will be possible overnight. This may
    drive at least some pockets of flash flooding and especially
    around the more sensitive urban corridors.

    Areas affected...Southwest OR...Northern CA

    Concerning...Heavy rainfall...Flash flooding possible

    Valid 290425Z - 291625Z

    SUMMARY...Increasing rainfall rates associated with strengthening
    atmospheric river activity will be impacting southwest OR and
    northern CA overnight and through early Sunday morning. The wet
    antecedent conditions and additional rains will promote concerns
    for urban and small stream flooding, including a low-end flash
    flood threat for any sensitive burn scar locations.

    DISCUSSION...The latest surface analysis shows a warm front across
    northern CA and with an offshore extension of this to a developing
    surface low near 43N 130W. A cold front then extends well
    southwest away from the low center. The low center will be
    deepening overnight as it lifts northeastward toward the Pacific
    Northwest overnight in conjunction with an amplifying shortwave
    trough. The attendant warm front will slowly lift north with time,
    but this coupled with deep layer southwest flow should still help
    to focus a well-defined atmospheric river into the coastal ranges
    of southwest OR and northwest CA.

    GOES-W GeoColor satellite imagery shows the southwest extension of
    moisture offshore of the West Coast, and the latest CMORPH2 and
    NESDIS Blended Rain Rate data shows a pool of heavier rainfall
    rates kust offshore in association with the advance of stronger
    low to mid-level IVT magnitudes. The IVT values should increase to
    750 to 1000 kg/ms/s in the 06Z to 12Z time frame across portions
    of Coos, Curry, Del Norte and Humboldt Counties going from north
    to south across southwest OR and northwest CA as the core of the
    strong low to mid-level flow arrives ahead of the offshore cold
    front and the south side of the aforementioned low center.

    Enhanced warm air advection, moisture transport and orographic
    ascent should favor rainfall rates increase to as much as 0.5" to
    1.0"/hour across these coastal ranges. Rainfall rates may also
    approach and briefly exceed a 0.50"/hour for some of the adjacent
    terrain and counties extending inland into southern parts of the
    OR Cascades and also down into the Shasta/Sisikiyou ranges of
    northern CA including also eventually parts of the northern Sierra
    Nevada early Sunday morning. Some of the heaviest overall rates
    should tend to be associated with the final arrival and passage of
    a cold front, and there may be some convective elements associated
    with the front that will enhance the rainfall rates.

    After the cold front passes through, the rates will then quickly
    slacken, but additional rainfall totals over the next 6 to 12
    hours are forecast to reach as high as 3 to 6+ inches for the
    favored coastal ranges, and with as much as 1 to 3 inches
    elsewhere. Some of these heavier rains may also reach down the
    coast into the Bay Area Sunday morning.

    Given the wet antecedent conditions and high streamflows, these
    additional rains are likely to increase the concern for areas of
    urban and small stream flooding, and there may be at least a
    localized flash flood threat should some of these heavier rainfall
    rates overlap any of the more sensitive burn scar locations.

    Areas affected...southeastern Louisiana into southern Mississippi
    and southwestern Alabama

    Concerning...Heavy rainfall...Flash flooding possible

    Valid 130527Z - 131027Z

    Summary...Isolated/low-end flash flood potential exists as shallow
    convection continues to redevelop/train across the discussion
    area.=20

    Discussion...Over the past 2-4 hours, a focused area of convection
    has trained along an axis extending from near Morgan City to near
    Laplace and Lake Pontchartrain. The convection is favorably
    oriented parallel to fast (60-80 kt) southwesterly flow aloft and
    is also being maintained by focused convergence on the nose of
    30-kt 850mb flow. Stout convergence is maintaining this
    convection despite modest instability. Training convection was
    resulting in a few spots of 0.5-1 inch/hr rain rates that have
    persisted long enough for MRMS rainfall estimates exceeding 3
    inches per six-hours. MRMS also depicts peak rainfall/FFG ratios
    now exceeding 0.6 in spots beneath the training band.

    Also somewhat concerning is the fact that models/CAMs suggest that
    the sustained convergence resulting in the convection should
    persist across areas west of New Orleans for at least another
    couple hours, further contributing to localized runoff/flood
    potential especially in western suburbs of New Orleans Metro.=20
    Over time, the axis of heavier rainfall should translate eastward
    in tandem with peak 850mb flow, with a few spots of isolated
    flood/runoff problems extending toward Northshore Lake
    Pontchartrain and adjacent areas of southern
    Mississippi/southwestern Alabama over the next 2-4 hours or so.=20
    This threat should remain isolated, but may become enhanced where
    heavier rain rates can affect any urban/low-lying areas.

    Areas affected...Southern California

    Concerning...Heavy rainfall...Flash flooding possible

    Valid 261905Z - 270105Z

    SUMMARY...Locally heavy showers and a few thunderstorms arriving
    over the next several hours may result in localized areas of burn
    scar flash flooding, including debris flow activity. This will
    include the Eaton, Palisades, Hurst, Franklin, Bridge and Hughes
    fire areas.

    DISCUSSION...GOES-W satellite imagery shows an upper-level low
    continuing to drop south toward southern CA, with coastal surface
    low pressure helping to facilitate an increase in low-level
    onshore flow into the Transverse and Peninsular Ranges. The flow
    is modest, but the uptick in Pacific moisture coupled with
    gradually steepening mid-level lapse rates and divergent flow
    aloft via DPVA is driving broken coverage of moderate to locally
    heavy shower activity.

    Additional shortwave energy rounding the base of the upper low
    will overspread the coastal ranges this afternoon, including much
    of the broader Los Angeles Basin. This coupled with a slight
    increase in diurnally driven instability and orographic ascent
    should help facilitate an increase in rainfall rates. In fact,
    there has already been some lightning activity noted with recent
    low-topped convection that has impacted Ventura County, and radar
    imagery shows convection tending to intensify just offshore of Los
    Angeles County which will be moving inland soon. This is where
    some MUCAPE values of 250+ J/kg are noted in the latest RAP
    analysis.

    The 12Z HREF guidance favors occasional rainfall rates locally
    reaching or exceeding a 0.25"/hour with some of the stronger
    convective elements that materialize over the next several hours.
    However, with the slight increase in instability and pulse nature
    of the convective threat, it is possible that there could be as
    much as a 0.25" of rain in as little as 15 to 30 minutes. The
    latest guidance suggests some spotty 6-hour rainfall totals
    reaching upwards of 1 inch where some of this activity persists
    over the foothills of the terrain including the San Gabriel and
    San Bernadino Mountains.

    Given the significant sensitivities on the ground with the ongoing
    wildfire activity and/or recently burned areas, these rains may be
    sufficiently heavy enough, at least on a localized basis, to
    result in some debris flow/mudslide activity and related flash
    flooding concerns. The Eaton, Palisades, Hurst, Franklin, Bridge
    and Hughes burn scar areas in particular will need to be closely
    monitored for impacts.

    Areas affected...Southern California

    Concerning...Heavy rainfall...Flash flooding possible

    Valid 270205Z - 270805Z

    SUMMARY...An uptick in shower and thunderstorm activity is
    expected through the evening hours across coastal portions of
    southern California. This may result in localized areas of burn
    scar flash flooding, including debris flow activity. This will
    include the Eaton, Palisades, Hurst, Franklin, Bridge and Hughes
    fire areas.

    DISCUSSION...GOES-W satellite imagery continues to show a deep
    layered low dropping south just off the southern CA coast. Some
    cooling of cloud tops is noted over coastal Santa Barbara county,
    resulting in a modest uptick in rainfall rates. As of 01z, water
    vapor imagery continues to depict mid and upper level dry air
    further south over Los Angeles county, likely helping limit shower
    coverage and intensity. However, as the low continues to drop
    south, we should see a gradual moistening of the column, along
    with a steepening of lapse rates. These factors should promote an
    uptick in shower (and isolated thunderstorm) activity over coastal
    areas of Ventura, Los Angeles and Orange counties as the evening
    progresses. In fact as of 02z just beginning to see an uptick in
    shower activity and slight cooling in IR imagery over Los Angeles
    County.

    Recent HRRR runs and the 18z HREF are supportive of an uptick in
    shower coverage and rainfall rates between 02z and 12z. HREF
    probabilities of exceeding 0.5" in an hour increase into the
    20-40% range. The 23z HRRR depicted hourly rainfall around 0.75"
    just offshore, although the 00z HRRR is back closer to 0.5" an
    hour for peak rates. Both the HREF and HRRR focus the majority of
    these higher rates just offshore where the weak instability should
    stay focused. However, while the better coverage of these higher
    rates should remain just offshore, do anticipate we will see some
    0.5"-0.6" an hour rainfall make it onshore on a localized basis
    anytime between ~02z and 12z.

    For the most part this forecast rainfall will only result in
    localized minor flooding of urban and low lying areas. However,
    more significant impacts are possible over recent burn scar areas,
    particularly over Los Angeles County. Confidence on these more
    significant impacts remains low, however with the expected uptick
    in shower coverage and intensity this evening, the threat of
    significant impacts is higher than it was earlier this afternoon.
    The Eaton, Palisades, Hurst, Franklin, Bridge and Hughes burn scar
    areas in particular will need to be closely monitored for debris

    Areas affected...Parts of North Texas and Southeast OKlahoma

    Concerning...Heavy rainfall...Flash flooding possible

    Valid 300144Z - 300644Z

    SUMMARY...Increasing shower and thunderstorm activity is underway
    and is expected to continue into the late evening across portions
    of northern Texas and southeast Oklahoma which results in an
    increasing risk of flash flooding through 0630Z.

    DISCUSSION...Composite image of area 88D reflectivites from early
    this evening showed shower and thunderstormn activity growing in
    areal coverage with embedded heavy rainfall already moving through
    portions of the urbanized Dallas-Ft Worth metropolitan area.=20
    Given the approach of a trough in the southern stream along with a
    surface cold front...the trend for increasing coverage and
    rainfall intensity is expected to continue through at least 0630Z
    leading to increased risk of flash flooding.

    Recent HRRR runs and the 18z HREF are supportive of increasing
    coverage of showers and thunderstorms overnight as low level flow
    becomes southerly in the 20 to 35 kt range and begins to draw
    moisture northward from the Gulf. However...the models have
    already been proven to be too slow to develop heavy rainfall
    rates. Rainfall rates from the most active convection should
    generally be in the 1 to 1.5 inch range although isolated 2 inch
    per hour rates can not be entirely ruled out with some potential
    for 2 to 4 inches possible.

    Concern for flash flooding is greatest in urban areas and where
    storms have a chance to train...with flooding more in low lying
    areas in more rural areas.

    Areas affected...North-Central to Northeast TX...Far Southeast OK

    Concerning...Heavy rainfall...Flash flooding likely

    Valid 300543Z - 301043Z

    SUMMARY...Heavy showers and thunderstorms will continue through
    the overnight hours. Areas of cell-training will continue to pose
    concerns for flash flooding and especially around the more
    urbanized locations. This will include the Dallas-Fort Worth
    metropolitan area.

    DISCUSSION...The latest GOES-E IR satellite imagery in conjunction
    with dual-pol radar shows a southwest/northeast oriented band of
    heavy showers and thunderstorms impacting areas of north-central
    to northeast TX, including especially the southern and eastern
    portions of the Dallas-Fort Worth (DFW) metropolitan area.

    All of the convection is being driven by the interaction of
    shortwave energy ejecting northeast across the southern Plains out
    ahead of the deep closed low over the Southwest, and with the
    pooling of at least modest instability and favorable southerly
    moisture transport out ahead of a frontal zone. MUCAPE values
    across much of central to northeast TX have risen to as much as
    1000 J/kg with the aid of a southerly low-level jet of 30 to 40+
    kts, and the CIRA-LVT values in the SFC-850 mb layer have been
    increasing steadily over the last few hours which is reflective of
    the increasing low-level moisture transport.

    The flow aloft is quite divergent based off the GOES-E IR/WV data
    and this should continue to promote a stronger low-level jet
    response going through the overnight hours with enhanced warm air
    advection along with favorable moisture and instability transport
    for heavy rainfall. There has been some cell-training noted with
    the convection over the last couple of hours and portions of the
    DFW metroplex have already received 2 to 3+ inches of rain with
    rainfall rates with some of the stronger cells reaching 1.5+
    inches/hour.

    Over the next few hours, the focus for the strongest axis of
    convection and heavy rainfall should tend to remain over the
    southern and eastern sides of the broader DFW metroplex, with some
    localized expansion of convection expected off to the northeast
    toward areas of the Arklatex, but mainly concentrated over areas
    of northeast TX and far southeast OK.

    Additional rainfall amounts of 2 to 4 inches are forecast
    overnight with isolated heavier totals possible where any
    cell-training tends to persist. Given the heavy rainfall that has
    already occurred over the last few hours, and these additional
    totals, flash flooding is likely overnight with the more urban
    locations the most susceptible to impacts.

    Areas affected...Central to Northeast TX...Southeast OK...Western
    and Central AR

    Concerning...Heavy rainfall...Flash flooding likely

    Valid 300920Z - 301520Z

    SUMMARY...The threat for areas of flash flooding will continue
    this morning from broken bands of heavy showers and thunderstorms
    which will occasionally be capable of training over the same area.

    DISCUSSION...The latest GOES-E IR satellite imagery along with
    dual-pol radar continues to show broken areas of heavy shower and
    thunderstorm activity impacting areas of central to northeast TX
    through southeast OK and more recently into areas of western AR.

    Strong warm air advection with the aid of a strengthening
    south-southwest low-level jet of 30 to 50 kts continues to work in
    tandem with modest instability, but rather strong moisture
    convergence for sustainable convection. The flow aloft remains
    rather divergent out ahead of a deeper layer low center slowly
    ejecting east out into the southern High Plains, and this along
    with a triple point low center over northern TX is further helping
    to concentrate a corridor of rather strong forcing.

    MUCAPE values remain generally around 1000 J/kg with PWs close to
    1.5 inches, and this coupled with at least moderate shear should
    continue to support some rainfall rates with the stronger storms
    reaching as high as 1.5 inches/hour. This has been realized over
    much of the DFW metroplex already where cell-training overnight
    has yielded rainfall totals of as much as 2 to 5 inches.

    As shortwave energy ejects off to the northeast across the
    Arklatex region this morning, the overall axis of stronger warm
    air advection and moisture transport should also translate off to
    the northeast. This will help to maintain locally heavy showers
    and thunderstorms along an axis that will still tend to linger
    over northeast TX and southeast OK, but should move well
    downstream into areas of western and central AR going through the
    morning hours.

    Given the locally heavy rainfall rates and periodic cell-training
    concerns, additional rainfall totals of as much as 2 to 4 inches
    are expected which is also supported by the 00Z HREF guidance and
    recent HRRR runs. Some of these rains will be falling over areas
    that have already seen locally heavy rainfall overnight, so
    additional areas of flash flooding will generally be likely this
    morning and especially over the more urbanized areas.

    Areas affected...ArkLaTex into mid-MS Valley

    Concerning...Heavy rainfall...Flash flooding likely

    Valid 301532Z - 302130Z

    SUMMARY...Areas of flash flooding appear likely to continue from
    portions of the ArkLaTex into the mid-MS Valley through 21Z. Flash
    flood coverage is expected to be scattered with peak rainfall
    rates of 1-2 in/hr and additional totals of 2-4 inches are likely
    over the next 6 hours.

    DISCUSSION...Widespread areas of moderate to heavy rainfall were
    ongoing as of 15Z across northeastern TX into central AR and the
    MO Bootheel. While peak rainfall rates over the past few hours
    have dropped below 1 in/hr, the steady rainfall over the region
    since just before midnight has resulted in 3 to 5 inches of
    observed rainfall from northeastern TX into the Ouachita Mountains
    and the I-40 corridor. A strong low level jet was present from the
    ArkLaTex into western AR with VAD wind plot observed speeds of
    50-60 kt. Low level warm air advection to the north of a surface
    warm front (which extended W to E across southern AR) was focusing
    repeating rounds of moderate to heavy rain from SW to NE along an
    elevated convergence axis which was located between 925-850 mb
    from northeastern TX into the northwestern half of AR.

    While elevated instability to the north of the warm front was, and
    is expected to remain, weak (<500 J/kg) through the early
    afternoon, steady rain with rates occasionally peaking above 1
    in/hr should maintain areas of flash flooding from portions of the
    ArkLaTex into the mid-MS Valley over the next 3-6 hours. As a
    powerful closed low over the southern/central High Plains
    continues to slowly advance eastward during the afternoon, the low
    level jet is forecast to maintain its intensity while gradually
    translating eastward. Diffluent flow aloft and the slow moving to
    nearly stationary elevated axis of convergence will continue to
    allow for repeating rounds of heavy rain with occasional rates of
    1+ in/hr (but less than 2 in/hr) where pockets of relatively
    higher instability coincide with training echoes of heavy rain.
    Additional rainfall of 2-4 inches can be expected from portions of
    southwestern AR into northeastern AR and the adjacent MS Valley.
    Due to fairly low flash flood guidance values, flash flooding is
    considered likely.

    Areas affected...mid-MS Valley into lower/middle OH Valley

    Concerning...Heavy rainfall...Flash flooding possible

    Valid 302200Z - 310200Z

    SUMMARY...Areas of moderate to heavy rain will maintain a flash
    flood threat from northeastern AR/southeastern MO into the lower
    and middle OH Valleys and much of western and central KY through
    at least 02Z. Hourly rainfall of 0.5 to 1.0 inches will be
    possible along with 3 hourly rainfall up to 2 inches.

    DISCUSSION...A broad area of moderate to heavy rainfall extended
    from near the MO Bootheel into the lower OH Valley as of 2130Z.
    This area of rainfall has been translating northeastward during
    the day and has been responsible for peak hourly rainfall up to
    about 1 inch from the eastern AR/MO border into western KY and
    northwestern TN since ~18Z. While hourly rainfall totals have not
    been too high given MUCAPE has largely remained below 500 J/kg,
    3-hour rainfall totals of 2 to 3+ inches have resulted in numerous
    reports of flooding and flash flooding from southwestern to
    northeastern AR.

    The heaviest rainfall has been occurring at the nose of a 50-60 kt
    low level jet measured between 925-850 mb, which has been
    overrunning a surface warm front lifting north across AR and
    northern MS. The axis of greatest low level moisture transport is
    likely to continue to slowly shift east into KY/TN over the next
    few hours with an elevated convergence axis aloft focusing from
    near the MO Bootheel into the lower OH Valley. The orientation of
    this low level convergence axis will be parallel to the mean
    steering flow, allowing for repeating rounds of moderate to heavy
    rain.

    While instability is likely to remain limited into the late
    evening/early overnight hours, forcing will remain strong in the
    form of low level warm air advection and convergence beneath a
    strengthening area of upper level divergence located within the
    right-entrance region of a 150-160 kt upper level jet max centered
    over OH/PA/NY. Peak hourly rainfall of 0.5 to 1.0 inches and
    3-hourly rainfall of 1-2 inches may result in additional flash
    flood concerns across downstream locations along the OH Valley as
    these rains fall on top of locations that have already picked up 2
    to 3+ inches of rain since this morning. Embedded within this
    threat could be an isolated spot or two with higher end
    runoff/flooding depending on local hydrologic conditions.

    Concerning...Heavy rainfall...Flash flooding possible

    SUMMARY...Areas of moderate to heavy rain will maintain a flash
    flood threat across portions of the lower and middle OH Valleys
    and much of KY through at least 06Z. Hourly rainfall of 0.5 to 1.0
    inches will be possible along with 3 hourly rainfall up to 2
    inches.

    DISCUSSION...A broad area of moderate to heavy rainfall extended
    along and east of the Mississippi River into the Ohio and
    Tennessee Valley as of 0145Z. This area of rainfall has been
    translating northeastward during the afternoon and early evening
    and has been responsible for peak hourly rainfall up to about 0.75
    inch in eastern AR/MO border into western KY. MUCAPE has largely
    remained below 500 J/kg but that was enough to support 3-hour
    rainfall totals of 1.5 to 3 inches earlier.

    The heaviest rainfall has been occurring at the nose of a 50-60 kt
    low level jet measured between 925-850 mb, which has been
    overrunning a surface warm front lifting north across northeast
    Arkansas and far southern Tennessee at 00Z. The axis of greatest
    low level moisture transport is likely to continue to slowly shift
    east into KY/TN through late evening with an elevated convergence
    axis aloft focusing activity into the western lower OH Valley. The
    orientation of this low level convergence axis will be parallel to
    the mean steering flow, allowing for repeating rounds of moderate
    to heavy rain.

    While instability is likely to remain limited into the late
    evening/early overnight hours, forcing will remain strong in the
    form of low level warm air advection and convergence beneath a
    strengthening area of upper level divergence located within the
    right-entrance region of a 135-150 kt upper level jet max centered
    over OH/PA/NY from 00Z soundings. Peak hourly rainfall of 0.5 to
    1.0 inches and 3-hourly rainfall of 1-2 inches may result in
    additional flash flood concerns across downstream locations along
    the OH Valley...with the greatest concern for excessive rainfall
    at locations where these rains fall on top of locations that have
    already picked up 2 to 3+ inches of rain since this morning.
    Embedded within this threat could be an isolated spot or two with
    higher end runoff/flooding depending on local hydrologic
    conditions.

    Concerning...Heavy rainfall

    Valid 011915Z - 020700Z

    SUMMARY...Heavy rain will develop across north-central CA this
    afternoon and especially tonight. Rainfall will be steady but with
    hourly totals increasing to over 0.5 inches, especially for the
    northern Sierra Nevada tonight. 12 hour totals of 3 to 6+ inches
    can be expected for the northern Sierra Nevada with 1 to 3 inches
    for the Coastal Ranges.

    DISCUSSION...A big picture view of Blended Total Precipitable
    Water (PW) and MIMIC Total PW showed a southwest to northeast
    oriented axis of PW values in excess of 1.5 inches streaming
    across HI to about 36N, and extending east to about 127W,
    weakening with eastward extent to the West Coast. Land-based GPS
    data from 18Z showed that PW values of greater than 1 inch
    extended from northern Mendocino County to Santa Barbara County
    with a max near 1.25 inches centered around San Francisco Bay and
    eastward into the lower Sacramento River Valley. The values within
    the core of the moisture axis are well over 200 percent of normal
    via the blended imagery.

    Placement of a low ot mid-level low over British Columbia and
    ridge centered about 600 miles west of the northern Baja Peninsula
    has allowed for a funneling of these anomalous moisture values
    into the CA coast. A powerful (191 kt at 250mb via 12Z SLE
    sounding) zonally oriented upper level jet was sandwiched between
    the low to the north and high to the south, with no significant
    movement of these two features forecast through early tonight.
    Recent GFS, RAP and other guidance are good agreement with the
    arrival of a corridor of stronger 850 mb winds (40-50 kt) arriving
    into Sonoma and Marin counties over the next 1-2 hours, oriented
    perpendicular to the coastline along and just south of a east-west
    oriented quasi-stationary front extending offshore of the central
    CA coast. Some backing of low level flow toward the southwest is
    expected across the Valley into the foothills of the Sierra
    Nevada. With the increase in low level flow and a subtle increase
    in PW values (up to ~1.4 inches), IVT magnitude is expected to
    peak between 800-900 kg/m/s from just north of San Francisco Bay
    into the southern Sacramento Valley in the 21Z-02Z time frame. The
    surge will be short-lived however and poor low and mid level lapse
    rates should limit instability to near zero for coastal and inland
    locations through the first half of tonight with rainfall
    intensity largely driven by wind speed and orographic lift.

    Steady light to moderate rain was ongoing across the coast and
    Sierra Nevada of north-central CA as of 18Z but should increase in
    magnitude over the next 6 hours, especially into the upslope
    regions of the Sierra Nevada where orographic ascent will be
    maximized given 700 mb winds peaking in the 70-80 kt range just
    after 00Z. 12 hour rainfall totals of 1 to 3 inches are expected
    for the Coastal Ranges from just north of San Francisco Bay to
    just south of 40N and 3 to 6+ inches for the Sierra Nevada from
    roughly Amador to Butte counties. While rainfall through 07Z is
    not expected to produce impacts from flooding, heavy rain will
    continue through the night with potential for flooding and higher
    rain rates to increase prior to 12Z.

    Areas affected...Northern California

    Concerning...Heavy rainfall

    Valid 020700Z - 021900Z

    SUMMARY...An atmospheric river aimed at northern California will
    continue to produce heavy rain with rates between 1/4 and 3/4
    inches per hour possible.

    DISCUSSION...An atmospheric river aimed at northern California
    will continue to advect tropical moisture from near Hawaii
    northeastward into the state today. The moisture has a tropical
    connection due to an expansive area of high pressure located off
    southern California joining forces with a cold core low off
    Vancouver Island to squeeze the moisture into a relatively narrow
    corridor (atmospheric river). PWATs between 1 and 1.25 inches are
    associated with the moisture plume. This is 4 sigma above the
    climatological normal as well as within the 90th to 95th
    percentile compared to a 30-year average of PWATs for the area.
    IVT values from CW3E GFS and EC guidance are around 800 kg/ms.
    Over the past 24 hours, Anywhere from 1 to 4 inches of rain have
    fallen across northern California, with the highest values in the
    Sierras around and west of the Lake Tahoe region. NASA Sport soil
    moisture imagery shows much of the surface soil layer has
    saturated significantly compared to 24 hours ago, so most of the
    rain that falls from here should convert to runoff.

    Radar imagery shows a plume of rainfall occurring over much of far
    northern California with rates generally between 1/10 and 1/4 inch
    per hour ongoing. These rates are confirmed by the numerous
    weather stations set up across northern California. A stationary
    front draped over northern California (not shown) delineates the
    remarkable surface convergence occurring within this atmospheric
    river, with winds off the coast of Crescent City 20 kts out of the
    north, and winds both off the coast of Mendocino as well as up the
    northern Sacramento Valley are 20 kts out of the south. This
    remarkable convergence is adding to the overall lift within the
    atmosphere along the front, with almost all of the rain occurring
    north of the front.

    As a potent upper level shortwave approaches the coast over the
    next 12 hours, HiRes models are in good agreement as to a slight
    increase in rainfall rates in far northern California over the
    next 4 hours or so, followed by a gradual southward drift of the
    rainfall plume towards Point Arena and the northern Sacramento
    Valley. Rainfall rates may locally increase to as high as 3/4
    inches per hour. Along the coast, rates should diminish through
    the predawn hours, with the rainfall tapering from north to south
    through the morning. Expect 3-6 inches of rain for much of the
    northern Sierras through 19Z, 2-4 inches of rain for the northern
    Coastal Ranges, and lesser amounts within the Sacramento Valley
    along the I-5 corridor and to the immediate lee (east) of the
    coastal ranges.

    Mudslides and rock slides are possible in the foothills and
    mountains below 6,500 feet where the precipitation remains all
    rain. Localized flooding is possible in the areas where the
    heaviest rain occurs over flood-sensitive and low-lying areas.

    Areas affected...northern California

    Concerning...Heavy rainfall

    Valid 021935Z - 030700Z

    SUMMARY...Moderate to Heavy rain will continue over the northern
    Sierra Nevada throughout the next 6-12 hours while a second round
    of moderate to locally heavy rain develops for the northern
    Coastal Ranges this evening. While locally higher totals will be
    possible on an isolated basis, additional rainfall totals of 3 to
    5 inches are expected for the northern Sierra Nevada into the
    southern Cascades and an additional 1 to 2 inches for the northern
    Coastal Ranges through 07Z.

    DISCUSSION...Eastern Pacific view of total precipitable water (PW)
    showed a relatively narrow axis of values greater than 1 inch
    extending from near the triple point of an occluded cyclone 36N
    138W (which showed up well in visible satellite imagery), ENE to
    the northern CA coast. Gauge observations have shown peak hourly
    rainfall totals in the 18Z hour of 0.1 to 0.2 inches for the
    northern Coastal Ranges and 0.25 to locally in excess of 0.5 in/hr
    for the northern Sierra Nevada. 24 hour totals near 9 inches have
    been reported just east of Chico in the Sierra Nevada with up to
    roughly 4 inches for the northern Coastal Ranges. Reports of
    flooding thus far have been limited and primarily focused across
    southern portions of the region on either side of I-80 in the
    Sierra Nevada and between San Pablo Bay and Santa Rosa via local
    storm reports.

    Confluent mid-level flow between a mid-level low over southwestern
    Canada and a low amplitude longwave trough centered near 145W
    along with a ridge over the Baja Peninsula will keep zonal flow
    focused from the northern CA and OR coastline, eastward into the
    central U.S. through the overnight. At the surface, a shallow but
    well-defined stationary front, co-located with the moisture axis,
    will essentially remain in the same place over the next 6-12 hours
    (slow northward drift), with low level winds varying within the
    plume between 40-50 kt in the 850-700 mb layer. Some subtle
    strengthening of 850 mb winds will be possible toward 00Z ahead of
    the leading edge of a weak mid-level shortwave expected to near
    the West Coast at 00Z, but IVT values are forecast to remain in
    the 400-600 kg/m/s range through 06Z Monday across northern CA.

    No significant changes to peak rainfall rates are expected for
    northern CA through 06Z, but additional light to moderate rainfall
    (perhaps locally heavy) is expected into the northern Coastal
    Ranges later this evening with the approach of the offshore
    mid-level impulse. Additional peak rainfall totals of 1-2 inches
    for the Coastal Ranges and 3-5 inches for the northern Sierra
    Nevada are likely over the next 12 hours but given rainfall rates
    will remain somewhat modest, it is the long duration of this
    rainfall event that will be noteworthy. At least through 06Z
    tonight, additional flooding impacts are expected to remain
    isolated with rainfall rates remaining under more critical
    thresholds.

    Areas affected...Shasta County / northern CA

    Concerning...Heavy rainfall...Flash flooding likely

    Valid 022302Z - 030200Z

    SUMMARY...A narrow and focused band of heavy rain is expected to
    result in a localized area of flash flooding for portions of
    Shasta County in and around the Redding metro area. Peak hourly
    rainfall of 1-2 inches will be possible with localized additional
    totals of 3-5 inches through 02Z.

    DISCUSSION...Local radar imagery from KBBX at 2240Z showed a
    narrow band (just 2-4 miles wide) of stationary heavy rain
    occurring just south of downtown Redding, CA. This band has been
    present for the past 2 to 3 hours and has resulted in 4 to 6
    inches of rain, most of which has occurred since 20Z. These
    rainfall reports have been sourced from a number of
    Wunderground.com observations with the band just recently shifting
    south to Redding Regional Airport.

    The band of heavy rain was located along an axis of strong
    surface/near-surface convergence co-located with a
    quasi-stationary front that extended SW to NE across the northern
    Sacramento Valley. Weak instability may be present with RAP
    estimates of near 100 J/kg. Little change to the pattern on the
    regional scale is expected to keep the quasi-stationary front in
    roughly the same position over the next few hours though some
    minor wavering of the rainfall axis is expected over the next
    couple of hours along with possible weakening of the little
    instability that could be in place. Given the presence of this
    band of heavy rain across the I-5 corridor near Redding and into
    the higher terrain of eastern Shasta County, a localized area of
    flash flooding appears likely with this band. Due to the highly
    mesoscale nature of this feature, confidence is below average in
    its longevity but it seems likely to persist for at least another
    1-2 hours.

    Areas affected...Redding Area of Shasta County

    Concerning...Heavy rainfall...Flash flooding possible

    Valid 030212Z - 030700Z

    SUMMARY...Heavy rain associated with a convergence band over
    Shasta County, CA will continue into tonight. Flash flooding will
    be possible in addition to the ongoing areal flooding.

    DISCUSSION...An impressive WSW-ENE convergence band that set up at
    the head of the Sacramento Valley near Redding and Anderson, CA
    continues to be the source of heavy rain this evening. A strong
    southerly low level jet (LLJ) with winds of over 40 kts at 850 mb
    continues along the Sacramento Valley, with surface stations south
    of the band reporting winds as high as 20 kts south of the band.
    The band had been nearly stationary over Anderson, CA or just
    south of Redding, but trends have been for the band to crawl
    northward with time. Guidance shows very little if any
    instability, so this band is likely being forced by the strong
    convergence in the area from the combination of the strong
    southerly flow with the LLJ hitting a stationary front in that
    same area, as well as localized upslope as the terrain of the
    Sacramento Valley forms an arc, or upside down U, allowing for
    southerly flow to become focused and converge in the Redding area.
    Surface observations show there has been over 1.7 inches of rain
    in the last 3 hours, and 2.5 inches of rain in the last 6.

    HiRes guidance is in good agreement that the front and convergence
    band will remain in place for at least the next several hours, if
    not throughout the overnight (HRRR). With rates as high as an inch
    per hour possible, expect continued areal flooding and possible
    flash flooding in those areas where the convergence band interacts
    with the terrain to focus the rain water into narrow streams,
    creeks, and channels. Urban areas in and around Redding may also
    locally increase the flash flooding threat.

    Areas affected...Northern California

    Concerning...Heavy rainfall...Flash flooding possible

    Valid 030702Z - 031900Z

    SUMMARY...Steady rain will continue into northern California today
    with localized convergence bands of heavy rain embedded within the
    broader atmospheric river. Localized rates over 1 inch per hour
    and flash flooding possible.


    DISCUSSION...Heavy rain associated with the ongoing atmospheric
    river will continue through the day today. Just in the past 24
    hours, rainfall amounts locally exceeding 6 inches have fallen
    around and just south of the Redding area. This caused flooding in
    several areas as noted by the local storm reports. For now the
    band that caused that flooding around Redding has diminished in
    intensity. However, many of the ingredients that led to the band's
    formation remain in place. A stationary front remains in the area
    acting as a convergence boundary between the colder air to its
    north and the warmer air and southerly flow to its south. A
    southerly low level jet from 850 to the surface remains strong
    moving up the Sacramento Valley, with winds to 40 kts at 850 and
    20 kts as noted by several stations in the Sacramento Valley south
    of the area of rain. This low level jet and the orientation of the
    terrain are locally enhancing convergence at the northern end of
    the Sacramento Valley around Redding, as noted by localized
    increased in the radar reflectivities around that area. Meanwhile,
    plumes of moisture continue to move into the northern California
    coast, where their initial uplift by the northern coastal ranges
    are also responsible for heavier rains.

    The jet stream remains largely zonal extending hundreds of miles
    west out into the Pacific. The upper low to the north and the high
    to the south continue to put the squeeze on the moisture plume,
    increasing upper level winds and narrowing the moisture into a
    100-200 mile wide corridor that is the atmospheric river. During
    the day today, the upper low helping direct the jet stream will
    retrograde west. This will begin to reorient the atmospheric river
    from its current westerly flow to a southwesterly flow. This will
    allow the atmospheric river to begin to drift southward down the
    coast, while remaining in place over much of interior northern
    California. This reorientation may also work to support the low
    level jet, as the wind flow becomes more parallel with the
    mountains.

    HiRes guidance is in agreement that rainfall rates should remain
    largely steady through the early morning, though again embedded
    heavier bands remain very possible, especially at the northern end
    of the Sacramento Valley. Where any bands form, localized flash
    flooding in addition to the ongoing areal flooding cannot be ruled
    out. A subtle surface low will approach the coast around 18Z,
    likely enhancing the rainfall rates area-wide from west to east
    and could cause additional flooding into the afternoon. Expect
    another 2-4 inches of rain into the northern Sacramento Valley
    through 19Z with 1-3 inches of rain expected elsewhere in the
    highlighted area.

    Areas affected...Northern California & San Francisco Bay Area...

    Concerning...Heavy rainfall

    Valid 031800Z - 040600Z

    SUMMARY...AR continues though orientation will become more NE-SW
    with time as weak height-falls and shortwave press slow moving
    cold front southwest toward the Redwood Coast of California and
    increasing rainfall potential with some embedded convective
    elements possible with hourly rates of .33-.5".

    DISCUSSION...18z surface analysis depicts an atypically well
    defined surface front across NW NV into the northern portions of
    the CA Sierra Nevada into the southern slopes of the Trinity
    mountain and toward a weak surface wave near Cape Mendocino.=20
    Strong southerly veering to southwesterly flow through the
    northern Valley continues to intersect and ascend with moderate
    moisture into the upper 40s/lower 50s in Tds. Cold air into SW OR
    allows for a fairly steep isentropic ascent pattern to maintain
    light to moderate rainfall across the rim of mountains across the
    northern Valley with snow levels still above most but the highest
    peaks of the terrain. As such, prolonged .15-.25"/hr rates are
    likely to continue for a few more hours before the orientation of
    the AR/plume changes with the advance of the front; generally with
    a fulcrum/pivot point of the plume centered in N CA near
    Shasta/Siskyou county line.

    GOES-W IR and WV suite show a defined shortwave comma
    east-southeast of the 40N130W benchmark continuing to advance
    rapidly northeast under the influence of the rapidly exiting 150kt
    jet streak and associated right entrance region. As the
    ascent/shortwave-ridge pattern passes with this entrance region,
    influence of surface to 850mb northwesterly flow will allow for
    eastward progression of the well defined frontal zone. CIRA LPW
    sfc-850mb layer shows the stark moisture difference across the
    boundary with solid .5" over-topped by .25-.3" at 850-700mb and
    further solid core of subtropical moisture already at 700-500mb along/downstream of the shearing shortwave to further increase
    total moisture to over 1" nearing 1.25" intersecting the Redwood
    Coast southeast of Cape Mendocino. The shortwave is expected to
    further elongate/shear while reaching the NW CA coast by 00-02z
    period and the associated cold front intersection with the coast
    will drop southeastward. Forty-five to 60 degrees of sfc-850
    25-35kt confluent flow will support IVT to increase slowly from
    300-400 to 400-600 kg/m/s as the core of deepest moisture overlaps
    after 00-06z. Some mid-level CAA may support very weak vertical
    development given 50-150 J/kg possible; though driving mechanism
    is likely to be more low level convergence and orographic ascent
    across the Coastal Range. Typical .25-.33"/hr may occasionally
    increase to .5"/hr across S Mendocino county into Sonoma county
    after 00z. Scattered showers may extend into the Bay and Santa
    Cruz mountains late in the period (03-06z), though rates are not
    likely to be sizable for any flash flooding with exception of most
    susceptible urban locations.

    ...Northern Valley/Lower Slopes of Sierra Nevada...
    Southerly flow will veer to more southwesterly and increase
    orographic ascent toward perpendicular as the shortwave/DPVA
    crosses the region after 00z. Solid remaining moisture in the
    valley will ascent and present solid potential for .25-.5"/hr
    rates resulting in spotty totals of 2-2.5" by 06z. Given recent
    heavy rainfall and increased upper soil saturation increased
    run-off will occur resulting in areal expansion of increased
    riverine stream flows.

    All locales and rates are likely to be below critical values for
    any flashy style flooding and so will keep the tag on this
    discussion at Heavy Rainfall but will continue to monitor for any
    highly localized issues that may unfold.=20

    Areas affected...Central and Northern California

    Concerning...Heavy rainfall

    Valid 040600Z - 041800Z

    SUMMARY...Heavy rain associated with the ongoing atmospheric river
    may locally reach rates to 1 inch per hour with any convective
    banding and heavier showers through mid-morning.

    DISCUSSION...The primary AR has shifted into the Bay Area and
    northeast through Sacramento this evening. For most areas, the
    rain is generally light to moderate, producing 1/10 to 1/4 inch
    per hour rates. The higher 1/4 inch per hour rates are largely on
    the windward (southwest-facing) sides of the coastal ranges and
    the Sierras. Onshore flow to 40 kt at 850 continues into the Bay
    area. Upon moving inland the flow shifts to southerly as it tracks
    along the foothills of the Sierras up the Sacramento Valley. This
    low level jet has been the primary driver of the moisture
    advection producing locally heavier rains in the form of
    convergent bands and enhanced upslope rainfall activity over the
    past few days. Since the LLJ isn't going anywhere, these local
    "flare-ups" of heavier rain will continue through the overnight
    and into Tuesday morning.

    The band is expected to shift south of the I-80 corridor by around
    10Z/2am PST based on all of the latest HiRes guidance. This will
    leave the I-80 corridor from San Francisco through Sacramento in
    off-and-on shower activity. The band will taper a bit as it stalls
    out generally from a Monterey to Modesto line through the rest of
    the overnight and into Tuesday morning. For far northern
    California, the area is in a much needed break right now in most
    areas, though very light rain and higher elevation snow continues
    north of Redding. This break in the rain will continue through at
    least sunrise as noted by the relative lack of higher cloud cover
    off the coast of California on the graphic.

    The next low is following swiftly behind this latest round.
    Guidance has shifted significantly northward in the latest runs.
    Thus, now expect another round of heavy rain to impact much of the
    Sacramento Valley, including the hard-hit Redding area. This
    heavier rain will arrive with the next low around 15Z/7am PST. IVT
    values with the low will increase to around 750 kg/ms according to
    CW3E interpolations of the GFS along the coast. The low will be
    supported by a quickly-advancing zonal jet stream moving in from
    the Pacific, so northern California will be in the left exit
    region of that jet. The surface low will thus be supported by
    favorable upper level dynamics. The heavy rain will be further
    supported by the strengthening LLJ in the Sacramento Valley, which
    will intensify in response to the approaching low and increasing
    pressure gradient. It's likely that any 1 inch per hour rates with
    any convergent bands will occur from mid-morning on due to the
    additional moisture and advection.

    Any resultant flooding from the heavy rain will likely be confined
    to urban areas and flood-prone streams and creeks.

    Areas affected...Northern and Central California

    Concerning...Heavy rainfall...Flash flooding possible

    Valid 041800Z - 050600Z

    Summary...Localized flash flooding is possible with additional
    1-3"+ rainfall totals through 06z. Localities most likely to
    realize isolated flash flooding from additional 3-5" totals are
    along the northern foothills of the Sierras and the Santa Lucia
    Range.

    Discussion...Another round of moderate to heavy precipitation is
    underway across portions of northern and central CA, driven by a
    mid-level vort max leading an anomalous shortwave trough pivoting
    into the Pacific Northwest (along with synoptic uplift provided by
    upper-level divergence via the left exit region of a 130+ kt jet
    streak). The 12z HREF indicates an additional 1-3"+ of QPF through
    06z, with localities along the northern foothills of the Sierras
    and the Santa Lucia Range most at risk of localized flash flooding
    (with the highest chances for 0.5"+/hr rates and additional totals
    of 3-5", per the 12z HREF 40-km neighborhood probabilities for
    0.5" exceedance and ensemble agreement scale 0-100 km of 3.0"
    exceedance, respectively). The HRRR has also been among some of
    the wettest guidance, suggesting banded rainfall capable of
    0.5-1.0"/hr rainfall rates extending into the lower elevations of
    coastal regions (such as Santa Rosa and San Francisco). This seems
    plausible, given the location of the surface boundary and the
    uptick in low-level moisture flux convergence already underway per
    SPC RAP analysis (along with the favorable synoptic environment
    and total precipitable water values of 1.2"+ near the max moving
    average, per OAK sounding climatology). Please consult local NWS
    products for up-to-date information on flood hazards.

    Areas affected...much of West Virginia, far northeastern Kentucky

    Concerning...Heavy rainfall...Flash flooding possible

    Valid 060554Z - 061154Z

    Summary...A gradual uptick in excessive runoff potential is
    expected especially in central/eastern West Virginia through 12Z.
    Local 1-2 inch rainfall totals are expected.

    Discussion...Areas of light to moderate rainfall have developed
    across much of the discussion area since 03Z, with several
    observations of 0.5-1 inch rainfall totals noted. In addition to
    the recent rainfall, an upstream scenario is favoring repeated
    rainfall with heavier rates through 12Z, including: 1) upstream
    shortwave energy encouraging updrafts across western KY/TN, 2)
    increasing low-level flow impinging on a low-level boundary
    near/along the KY/TN border, and 3) 40-60 knot low-level flow,
    which was increasing instability/MUCAPE from west to east across
    Kentucky and vicinity. The net result of this pattern is a
    gradual increase in convective elements along a west-east axis
    from western Kentucky through the discussion area. Nearly
    continuous rainfall should occur through 12Z in most areas, with
    spots of 0.25-0.5 inch/hr rain rates and 1-2 inch rainfall totals
    expected.

    These rainfall totals should fall across areas of wet soils from
    antecedent rainfall over the past month from eastern KY into the
    central Appalachians. FFG thresholds are generally in the 1
    inch/3-hour range and are potentially lowering given ongoing
    rainfall. The regime should support a few areas of
    runoff/flooding especially across sensitive terrain in
    central/eastern West Virginia.

    Areas affected...northern/central Kentucky

    Concerning...Heavy rainfall...Flash flooding possible

    Valid 060821Z - 061321Z

    Summary...At least minor/isolated flash flood potential should
    continue through 13Z or so as upstream convection near the
    Mississippi/Ohio River confluence migrates eastward through the
    discussion area.

    Discussion...Persistent, repeating convection along an axis from
    near Lexington, KY to near Huntington, WV has produced several
    areas of 1-1.75 inch rainfall totals over the past 3-6 hours
    despite relatively quick movement. The rainfall associated with
    these storms has wet soils considerably across the region, with
    most recently updated FFG thresholds lowering into the 0.25-0.75
    inch/hr range and MRMS Flash responses suggestive of at least
    isolated, minor flooding and runoff issues existing along that
    corridor.

    Convection upstream of this region is causing some concern that
    perhaps another uptick in flash flood potential might occur
    between 09-13Z. This convection is expected to expand due to 1)
    forcing for ascent aloft associated with mid-level vort maxima
    across IL/IN, 2) fast low-level flow impinging on a warm front in
    western KY, and 3) increasing MU/SBCAPE across the region. CAMs
    generally follow suit with this thinking, suggesting another round
    of potential training convection entering the Lexington/Huntington
    axis between 10-13Z with possible 0.25-0.75 inch/hr rain rates.=20

    Should this potential materialize as forecast, isolated flash
    flood potential can be expected especially in the 10-13Z timeframe.

    Areas affected...South-central & Eastern KY...Southern WV... Far
    Western VA...

    Concerning...Heavy rainfall...Flash flooding possible

    Valid 061300Z - 061830Z

    SUMMARY...While intensity and coverage is on a downward trend, a
    few cells will remain capable of intense rain rates of
    1.25-1.5"/hr over saturated soils for scattered incident or two of
    flash flooding through the remainder of the morning.

    DISCUSSION...GOES-E WV suite shows the core of the triggering
    shortwave energy along the base of the broader synoptic trough has
    slid across central Ohio with trailing tail crossing northern KY
    along/ahead of the approaching 130+kt flat upper-level jet. This
    orientation continues to provide solid broad scale ascent with
    DPVA south and eastward across the area of concern, accompanied by
    solid divergence to maintain ongoing convective activity across
    the warm sector. Surface and VAD wind profiles also denote the
    speed and directional confluence/convergence supporting the active
    line of cells with about 30-45 degrees of convergence in both
    10-20kts of sfc and 50 to 60kts of 850mb flow. Additionally, this
    confluence zone continues to align with diminishing but
    sufficient unstable air mass with mid-60s temps over upper 50s/low
    60s Tds and modest lapse rates for 750-1000 J/kg of SBCAPE across
    south-central to southeastern KY reducing across WV to below 500
    J/kg.

    As such, overall trends have been toward slightly warming tops;
    however, there remain some stronger/broader updrafts with weak
    rotation across southern KY to tap all the available low level
    moisture (over 1.25" total PWats), to allow for some remaining
    efficient rainfall with sub-hourly rates resulting in some totals
    over 1-1.25" in quick duration. Instability and rates will
    diminish through the morning, but west to east cell motion and
    inflow from the southeast into increasing terrain should help for
    some orographic enhancement as well to maintain a low-end
    scattered threat for intense rates.=20

    While orientation of the convergence/convective line has become
    more oblique to the mean steering flow, reducing the capability
    for much higher totals from training noted overall; the soil
    conditions across E KY into S WV/W VA remain cold and highly
    saturated with NASA SPoRT LIS 0-40cm soil ratios well over 75%
    with some spots near 90% in higher terrain that may still have or
    recently just lost the majority of snow pack. As such, FFG values
    are very low (1-1.5"/hr) naturally and with little capacity for
    uptake especially in remaining sub-hourly intense rates...even has
    they diminish with reducing instability into late morning,
    incidents of flash flooding will remain possible.

    Mesoscale Precipitation Discussion 0023
    NWS Weather Prediction Center College Park MD
    943 AM EST Thu Feb 06 2025

    Areas affected...Coastal Ranges, Sacramento Valley and Lower
    Slopes of Sierra Nevada in California

    Concerning...Heavy rainfall...Flash flooding possible

    Valid 061500Z - 070300Z

    SUMMARY...Compact, quick moving storm with anomalous moisture flux
    to affect mainly coastal ranges at first but by late afternoon
    transition to more convective localized convective showers with
    training potential. Given rates up to .5"/hr, locally 2-3" totals
    are possible in favored orography.=20

    DISCUSSION...GOES-W WV suite denotes a compact, increasingly
    well-defined southern stream shortwave and associated surface low
    near 38N and 128W lifting east-northeast with expanding baroclinic
    shield downstream starting to cover much of northern California.
    This wave/low will continue to strengthen and occlude further
    throughout the day as northern upstream persistent upper-low
    finally swings southeast and provides further DPVA and sharpens
    the entrance region to the strengthen upper-level jet streak;
    while steepening lapse rates with cold advection aloft (mainly
    affecting northern CA later in the forecast period, after 00z),
    prolonging the onshore flow and potential for locally heavy
    rainfall.

    RAP analysis/forecast shows strong warm advective pattern
    approaching the central California coast with southerly 30kt 850mb
    winds veering to 50-65kts in the 17-19z period. The nose of the
    LLJ is also accompanied by the core of a narrow warm
    conveyor/moisture axis with 1-1.25" total PWats (though CIRA LPW
    suggests this is mainly below 700mb) and trends continue to direct
    it centered from Monterey Bay southward along the Santa Lucia
    Range. IVT values appear to be 600-700 kg/m/s and given
    orthogonal ascent to the southern Santa Cruz and Santa Lucia
    range, rates of .33-.5"/hr are likely to commence with the arrival
    of the warm front around 17-18z and continue for 5-6hrs, with a
    very slow southward drift of the core of the LLJ/moisture axis.=20
    This magnitude of moisture flux is about 5 standard anomaly above
    normal even in the wet season. As such, localized totals of 2-3"+
    are probable along the range. Later in the afternoon, the plume of
    moisture sags south and rounds Cape Conception around 00z, winds
    will slowly be diminishing to about 30kts at 850mb; there is some
    more oblique (45-60 degrees) of orographic ascent in the
    mid-levels, but southerly surface flow will not increase until
    after the forecast period as the cold front rounds the bend. So
    at this time there is mixed signals to potential for sizable rates
    over the fresh burn scars across the eastern Transverse Ranges, so
    while not completely improbable for flash flooding/mudslides by
    03z, we will be monitoring closely for potential for a targeted
    MPD if conditions increase/warrant it later into this
    evening/overnight.

    Meanwhile, further north the western branch of the TROWAL will
    provide ample moisture flux wrapping north of over the
    surface-850mb low to feed surface upslope forcing to allow for
    moderate rainfall with .25-.33" rates along the coastal ranges
    north of the San Francisco Bay; which should slowly expand
    eastward through into the lower slopes of the Trinity to northern
    Sierra Nevada Ranges. As the upper-level northern stream DPVA
    swings southeast, providing some cooling aloft and steepening
    lapse rates, it will also help to sharpen the
    deformation/convergence zone across NW CA as the surface low
    transitions from coastal to northern central Valley from 23-01z.
    An uptick in convective activity with slight reduction in forward
    speed may result in spotty .33-.5"/hr rates across the
    Redwood/Lost Coast resulting in localized totals of 2-3" by 03z as
    well, this should remain more of a heavy rainfall risk as the
    older burn scars are less susceptible, but an isolated
    creek/stream with quick rise is not completely out of the picture
    given soil conditions remain above average in the 80-95
    percentiles even for this time of year given recent rainfall.=20

    Bottom-line, this quick hitting/strong moisture flux is highly
    anomalous even in the wet season but the overall rates and totals
    still generally remain below flash flooding concerns and will hold
    with a 'heavy rainfall' tag at this time; however will convective
    trends closely for any potential targeted MPDs and flash flooding conditions.=20

    458 PM EST Thu Feb 06 2025

    Areas affected...portions of KY and southwest VA

    Concerning...Heavy rainfall...Flash flooding possible

    Valid 062157Z - 070357Z

    Summary...Showers and thunderstorms within a saturated atmospheric
    column over saturated soils are expected to lead to hourly rain
    totals to 1.5" and local amounts to 3". This could lead to flash
    flooding over saturated soils and urban areas.

    Discussion...Recent radar imagery shows quick-moving but scattered
    showers and thunderstorms forming and moving through western KY at
    the present time. They are elevated in nature and forming on the
    back side of a frontal zone with a few surface waves on the south
    side of a broad shortwave trough in the Great Lakes, utilizing
    500-1000 J/kg of MU CAPE. Other activity to the southeast is much
    closer to the surface front. At the moment, the flat wave in
    western TN is closest to the back edge of the convection.=20
    Precipitable water values of 0.75-1.25" lie across the region
    within a cool air mass, leading to almost complete saturation.=20
    Effective bulk shear is ~50 kts, which is enough for both linear
    convective organization and mesocyclone formation.

    Flash flood guidance values are fairly low, roughly 1" in three
    hours -- within the past 24 hours, 1-3" of rain fell in this area.
    With the expectation of 0.5"+ an hour totals, possibly as high as
    1.5" in an hour, expected over the next several hours as the
    storms propagate generally east-southeast parallel to thickness
    lines, flash flood guidance exceedance could occur in scattered
    spots where cells can train/two or more mesocyclones can align.=20
    The progressive frontal boundary and quick cell movement should
    keep rain amounts from getting exceptionally high. Hourly totals
    to 1.5" with local amounts to 3" are the expectation, which could
    lead to flash flooding in urban areas and over saturated soils and
    hilly topography.

    Areas affected...much of California

    Concerning...Heavy rainfall...Flash flooding possible

    Valid 070316Z - 070916Z

    Summary...Flood/flash flood potential should continue on at least
    an isolated basis through 09Z/1a PST. An additional 1-2 inches of
    rainfall is expected along windward locations of the Sierra, and
    locally higher amounts cannot be ruled out.

    Discussion...Flood/flash flood potential is expected to continue
    through at least 09Z this evening. Persistent lift associated
    with an upstream mid-level wave west of Oregon continues to
    support scattered to widespread shower activity across the region.
    Additionally, strong southerly low-level flow (40-50 knots at
    850mb) continues to support local terrain enhancement to rain
    rates across windward locations of the Sierra, where hourly rain
    rates nearing 0.25 inch were noted per MRMS near/southeast of
    Redding. These rates have contributed to isolated flash flooding
    and mudslides. This regime is expected to persist for several
    more hours, with additional rainfall accumulations of 1-2 inches
    expected. Wet (and moistening) ground conditions and ongoing
    rainfall is expected to continue to foster at least isolated
    instances of excessive runoff/flood impacts.

    Around/after 09Z, models suggest the low-level flow enhancing
    rainfall rates this evening will begin to weaken slightly.=20
    Moderate to heavy rainfall should still remain in the area,
    although a gradual decrease in the overall coverage of the
    heaviest rainfall should commence. A gradual lessening of the
    flash flood risk is also expected during this timeframe.

    Areas affected...portions of southern California

    Concerning...Heavy rainfall...Flash flooding possible

    Valid 070348Z - 070948Z

    Summary...Increasing onshore flow is interacting with the
    Transverse Ranges in southern California to produce scattered
    showers and locally heavy rainfall. Rainfall totals of 0.25-1
    inch are possible through 10Z/2am and beyond. Excessive runoff
    and debris flows are a distinct possibility - especially near
    sensitive areas of variable terrain and near burn scars.=20

    Discussion...Over the next several hours, a strong low-level
    cyclone (currently centered near Eureka) will migrate
    northeastward toward Oregon. As this occurs, strong southwesterly
    low-level flow will increase across portions of southern
    California especially near terrain-favored coastal ranges. Moist
    air (characterized by 1-1.1 inch PW values) will accompany the
    increasing flow and become forced over the Transverse Ranges,
    resulting in areas of orographically enhanced moderate to heavy
    rainfall. This process is already underway, with spots of 0.2-0.4
    inch/hr rain rates already observed west of Los Angeles in the
    past hour very near Malibu and Castaic. These trends are expected
    to continue, and a roughly 6-12 hour window of heavier rainfall
    potential will exist across the discussion area continuing into
    the overnight hours (perhaps through 12Z-15Z Friday).

    These areas of heavy rainfall will occur in areas of sensitivity
    from both terrain and burn scars from recent fires across the
    region. As a result, areas of flooding and debris flows are
    possible. Rainfall totals of 0.25-1 inch are probable through
    10Z, with locally higher amounts (exceeding 1.5 inches) possible
    in terrain-favored areas.

    Areas affected...much of West Virginia and a small part of eastern
    Kentucky

    Concerning...Heavy rainfall...Flash flooding possible

    Valid 080740Z - 081340Z

    Summary...At least minor/isolated runoff issues could develop in
    the next few hours as moderate rain moves in from central/northern
    Kentucky through 14Z.

    Discussion...Strong convergence on the nose of a 40-kt low-level
    jet over western Kentucky has aided in development of moderate
    rainfall generally along an axis from near Louisville to near the
    WV/KY border near Pikeville. Within this axis, the persistence of
    rainfall has allowed for MRMS-estimated areas of 0.10-0.30 inch/hr
    rain rates to materialize. The axis was also parallel to robust
    westerly flow aloft (supporting persistence), and recent radar
    mosaic imagery indicates upstream shower activity near the MS/OH
    River confluence poised to move through areas currently affected
    by moderate rainfall. The net result of this pattern is a fairly
    prolonged period of light to moderate rainfall eventually
    extending into West Virginia, with 0.75-1.25 inch rainfall totals
    expected through 14Z across the discussion area.

    Despite modest rain rates, soils are wet across the area from
    recent rainfall and FFG thresholds are 1) ~0.25 inch/hr and 2)
    less than 1 inch/3-hr across parts of the region (especially in
    hillier terrain in eastern WV). These thresholds and recent flash
    flood events suggest that ground conditions are extremely
    sensitive. The moderate rainfall moving in from Kentucky should
    persist for several hours, resulting in at least isolated
    instances of excessive runoff/flooding. The uptick in flood risk
    should persist in the 0830Z-1400Z timeframe and beyond as
    low-level convergence strengthens across the area through the day.

    Areas affected...southern West Virginia, far eastern Kentucky

    Concerning...Heavy rainfall...Flash flooding possible

    Valid 090204Z - 090804Z

    Summary...Fast-moving showers could produce a quick 0.25 inch of
    rainfall across the discussion area through 05-06Z. Extremely
    sensitive ground conditions suggest potential for
    efficient/excessive runoff and impacts during this timeframe.

    Discussion...Forcing/ascent along and ahead of a cold front has
    aided in development of a couple bands of convection extending
    from Parkersburg to Huntington to Somerset, KY. These showers
    were in a marginal environment in terms of instability, although
    ~100 J/kg MUCAPE appears to support updrafts along and ahead of
    the front. Quick movement (from 70 kt mean steering flow) has
    limited rain rates so far, although recent MRMS data suggests
    pockets of 0.1-0.2 inch/hr rates near Jackson, KY over the past
    hour.

    These showers will move toward portions of the discussion area
    that are extremely sensitive to any additional rainfall. NASA
    SPORT soil moisture values are near 100% across the area amid
    plenty of antecedent rainfall (including 1-1.5 inch totals in the
    past 24 hours). FFG thresholds generally range from 0.25-0.5
    inch/hr, but are near zero in a few spots. Several impacts were
    also reported this from this morning's round of rainfall.=20
    Incoming rainfall along/ahead of the front may result in an uptick
    in excessive runoff and flood potential through 07Z.

    427 AM EST Wed Feb 12 2025

    Areas affected...much of Louisiana, central/southern Mississippi,
    and a small part of east Texas

    Concerning...Heavy rainfall...Flash flooding possible

    Valid 120926Z - 121526Z

    Summary...Convective bands will continue to increase and grow
    upscale into clusters and lines while moving eastward across the
    discussion area. A few areas of 1-2 inch/hr rain rates are
    expected, which should pose a flash flood risk especially near
    sensitive areas.

    Discussion...Over the past hour or so, radar mosaic imagery has
    depicted a distinct uptick in convective activity across east
    Texas and Louisiana. The increase in convection is likely tied to
    a dramatic increase in southerly 850mb flow along the Sabine River
    Valley (into the 40-60 kt range) along with attendant
    convergence/ascent. The eastward movement of a distinct mid-level
    shortwave trough and steep lapse rates aloft were also
    contributing factors to the increase in convection. Most storms
    are elevated above a cool stable boundary layer, although mergers
    and growth into linear segments with localized training have
    already been observed near/just east of Lufkin, where spots of 1
    inch/hr rain rates were already estimated via MRMS.

    These convective trends are expected to continue, with
    observations and CAMs both suggestive of upscale growth into one
    or two dominant complexes that move eastward across the region.=20
    Many cell mergers are anticipated and localized training will
    remain a distinct possibility. These factors should contribute to
    occasional 1-2 inch/hr rain rates at times as storms move eastward
    through the discussion area. These rates should approach FFG
    thresholds - especially along an axis from Lufkin to Greenville to
    Columbus where prior rainfall has contributed to wet soils and
    <1.5 inch/hr FFG thresholds. Prolonged rainfall along and south
    of this axis (i.e., greater than 1 hour of heavy rainfall) may
    also result in flash flooding. This threat is expected to persist
    through 15Z, with occasional convective redevelopment in east
    Texas indicated in the models throughout the morning.

    Areas affected...Lower Missisippi Valley

    Concerning...Heavy rainfall...Flash flooding possible

    Valid 121518Z - 122031Z

    Summary...Showers and thunderstorms will expand in coverage and
    begin to train from SW to NE through the afternoon. Rainfall rates
    in excess of 1"/hr will become more common, which through training
    may produce 2-3" of rain. This could lead to instances of flash
    flooding.

    Discussion...The regional radar mosaic this morning depicts two
    areas of heavy precipitation spreading across portions of the Gulf
    Coast and lower Mississippi Valley states. A meandering stationary
    front analyzed by WPC draped from northern MS into eastern TX is
    providing focus for a corridor of convection, while a more broad
    warm front slowly lifting across LA/MS is helping to spawn warm
    advection showers and isolated thunderstorms. In general, rainfall
    rates this morning have been between 0.25 and 0.5 inches per hour,
    but a few embedded 1"/hr cells have recently been observed via
    MRMS radar estimates. This has produced locally 2-3" of rain in
    the past 6 hours, and a few flood advisories are currently in
    effect.

    As the morning progresses into the afternoon, upstream troughing
    across the Central Plains will amplify, with synoptic ascent
    becoming enhanced across the region through height falls, PVA, and
    an intensifying jet streak aloft. Together, this will help lift
    the warm front more steadily northward, leading to greater
    instability drawing northward and impinging into the stationary
    front. This is reflected by impressive moisture transport vector
    convergence later this morning, especially from northern LA into
    northern MS. As CAPE climbs to 500-1000 J/kg, this will support
    more widespread convective rain rates which the HREF indicates
    have a 20-40% chance of exceeding 1"/hr, with short term rain
    rates potentially eclipsing 2"/hr as shown by the HRRR 15-min
    fields. Storm motions will remain quick on 850-300mb winds of
    40-60 kts, but organization along this boundary and some
    backbuilding into TX will support training. This suggests that
    despite the fast motion of individual cells, some areas may pick
    up 2-3" of rain.

    The soils across this region are generally saturated as noted via
    NASA SPoRT 40cm soil moisture that is around the 90th-95th
    percentile. This has reduced FFG to just 1-2"/3 hrs, or less, in
    many areas, for which the HREF suggests has a 20-50% chance of
    exceedance in the next few hours. This is further reflective of
    the isolated potential for flash flooding into this afternoon.

    Areas affected...Lower Mississippi Valley through Northern Alabama

    Concerning...Heavy rainfall...Flash flooding possible

    Valid 122024Z - 130215Z

    Summary...Showers and thunderstorms rapidly blossoming within a
    warm sector will expand in coverage and intensify through the
    afternoon. These thunderstorms will lift northward and then train
    SW to NE ahead of a cold front, with rainfall rates as much as
    2-3"/hr. This could lead to instances of flash flooding.

    Discussion...The regional radar mosaic across the Gulf Coast this
    afternoon depicts rapidly expanding and intensifying thunderstorms
    along and just south of a warm front from LA to the FL Panhandle.
    This convection is expanding within a pronounced warm sector
    characterized by favorable instability (MLCAPE 1000-2000 J/kg) and
    elevated PWs (1.6 to 1.8 inches) according to the SPC
    mesoanalysis. Additionally, recent VWPs from the region indicate
    modest low-level veering but with strong inflow, supporting large
    updrafts capable of producing intense rainfall rates. This is
    being analyzed by recent MRMS 15-min rainfall as high as 0.75"
    (3"/hr rates), resulting in rising CREST unit streamflow values
    across parts of LA and MS. Upstream of this fresh convection, a
    wave of low pressure and attendant cold front are analyzed by WPC
    crossing from TX into LA, along which additional thunderstorms are
    occurring with current FFWs.

    As the afternoon progresses into the evening, the environment
    should become increasingly unstable as the plume of 1000-2000 J/kg
    MLCAPE surges as far north as Birmingham, concurrent with elevated
    PWs being drawn northward. This plume of robust thermodynamics
    will be advected on 850mb inflow that is progged to reach 50+ kts,
    resulting in 850-700mb moisture flux that may exceed 5 sigma
    according to the SREF. Additionally, increasing synoptic lift
    within the RRQ of an intensifying jet streak will support an
    expansion of convection into the evening, with thunderstorms
    likely aligning along or just ahead of the convergence axis of the
    approaching cold front as it squeezes the warm sector. This
    alignment will rapidly enhance the flash flood risk, as training
    of cells along the boundary will offset the limiting storm speed
    of 40-60kts.

    The HREF suggests that coverage of rainfall rates exceeding 1"/hr
    will expand, and the HRRR 15-min progs suggest rainfall intensity
    may produce 0.75 to 1 inch of rain in as little as 15 minutes.
    These rates themselves could cause instances of flash flooding,
    but where training occurs, more than 3" of rain is possible,
    enhancing the flash flood risk. The most likely locations for any
    flash flooding will be across urban areas as soil moisture in
    southern LA, MS, AL is drier than normal according to NASA SPoRT.
    However, training of these intense rain rates could quickly
    overwhelm even the drier soils, so flash flood instances are
    possible anywhere across the discussion area into this evening.

    Areas affected...Portions of Eastern LA...Southern MS...Much of
    AL...Southeast TN...Northern GA

    Concerning...Heavy rainfall...Flash flooding likely

    Valid 130220Z - 130820Z

    SUMMARY...Heavy showers and thunderstorms will continue to impact
    the South overnight with concerns for high rainfall rates and
    cell-training. Additional areas of flash flooding are likely which
    will include the more sensitive urban corridors.

    DISCUSSION...The latest radar and satellite imagery continues to
    show a well-organized convective outbreak evolving across the
    South with multiple bands of strong to severe convection,
    including supercells, that are focusing corridors of locally
    enhanced rainfall. A strong southwest low-level jet of 40 to 50+
    kts continues to advance up across eastern LA through southern MS,
    with it nosing up into areas of western and central AL. This is
    fostering strong moisture transport along with the arrival of a
    moderately buoyant airmass characterized by MUCAPE values of 1000
    to 2000 J/kg.

    Strong low to mid-level veering flow with height continues to
    yield enhanced shear profiles favorable for supercells and these
    more organized storms out ahead of an approaching cold front and
    in vicinity of a warm front lifting northeast across the Southeast
    have been tending to locally train over the same location this
    evening.

    Over the next few hours, areas of southern MS through central AL
    in particular will continue to see cell-training and cell-merger
    concerns as the convection attempts to evolve a bit more into a
    QLCS which will still include embedded supercell concerns. By late
    this evening and going well past midnight, areas of northwest GA
    will begin to see more of the concentration of heavier convective
    rainfall.

    The evening CAM guidance, including the HRRR and the experimental
    WoFS supports an additional 2 to 4 inches of rain with isolated
    heavier amounts possible where the corridors of more organized
    cell-training occurs, and this will be aided by rainfall rates of
    generally 1 to 2+ inches/hour.

    Some areas of flash flooding are already occurring, and the
    additional rains over the next several hours should yield
    additional areas of flash flooding. This will include especially
    the more sensitive urban areas, which by later in the night may
    include the Atlanta metropolitan area.

    1244 AM EST Thu Feb 13 2025

    Areas affected...portions of northern, central and southern CA

    Concerning...Heavy rainfall...Flash flooding possible

    Valid 130543Z - 131740Z

    SUMMARY...Areas of heavy rain will overspread a sizable portion of
    northern to south-central CA through 18Z Thursday ahead of an
    approaching occluded cyclone. Some locations may see hourly
    rainfall in excess of 0.5 inches for several hours with the
    greatest potential for high rates along the Santa Lucia Range. 12
    hour rainfall totals of 3 to 5+ inches are likely within areas of
    favored terrain and heavy rain may produce areas of flooding/flash
    flooding within urban areas and/or sensitive burn scars.

    DISCUSSION...Loops of GOES West water vapor imagery through 05Z
    showed a strengthening closed mid to upper-level low centered near
    42N 134W. A strong, zonally oriented 250 mb jet axis was located
    across 36N 140W, south of the closed low, with winds in excess of
    150 kt located as far east as 134W per GOES West DMW vectors. The
    location of the upper level jet max west of the upper trough axis
    indicated the longwave trough was digging southward, but the
    parent closed low appeared to be generally moving toward the east.
    A ribbon of moisture streamed from west to east across the eastern
    Pacific Ocean along a cold front connected into an occluded
    cyclone over the eastern Pacific. TPW and LPW imagery showed that
    the plume of moisture extended thousands of miles back to the
    west, originating in the tropical west-central Pacific. However,
    anomalous moisture was already located just off of the CA coast
    with 00Z soundings from OAK and VBG showing PWAT values between
    the 90th percentile and climatological max for mid-February. Warm
    advection rainfall was already occurring in advance of the warm
    front analyzed southeastward toward the south-central CA coast,
    roughly 60 miles west of the coast of Monterey County.

    As the closed low continues to advance off toward the east over
    the next 6-12 hours, the attendant cold front is forecast to
    steadily advance east and southeast, reaching the northern coast
    of CA around 12Z. IVT values will steadily increase across the
    central CA coast through 12Z peaking between 800-900 kg/m/s in the
    vicinity of San Francisco. IVT values will remain above 600 kg/m/s
    for a good portion of the central to south-central CA coast for
    several hours with 850 mb winds peaking between 50-60 kt. The
    orientation of the 850 mb flow is expected to be perpendicular to
    the coast from North Bay to Point Conception.

    Hourly rainfall in excess of 0.5 inches will become likely in and
    around the higher terrain of San Francisco Bay by 09Z, perhaps
    lasting for 3-5 hours. Farther south, hourly rainfall may reach 1
    in/hr along the Santa Lucia Range given the favorable orthogonal
    orientation of the low level flow to the axis of the mountain
    chain. Downstream into the Sierra Nevada, snow levels are expected
    to be near 7000 ft which will result in rainfall impacts to
    potentially extend up to a relatively high elevation. Hourly
    rainfall in excess of 0.5 inches may exceed 6 hours in duration
    for portions of the central Sierra Nevada and Santa Lucia Range.
    Sub-hourly rainfall rates over 0.25 inches in 15 minutes will be
    possible within area of orographic ascent and boosted by weak
    instability, though CAPE values are forecast to remain focused
    below ~4 km AGL and stay below 250 J/kg by a majority of the most
    recent guidance prior to 18Z.

    12 hour rainfall totals through 17/18Z are expected to peak in the
    3 to 5 inch range for the Coastal Ranges into the upslope regions
    of the central Sierra Nevada, through higher totals may occur
    within the Santa Lucia Range given a favorable low level wind
    orientation. While flooding/flash flooding will be possible, it is
    expected to remain on the low end of the scale and may be focused
    across urban areas or perhaps lingering sensitivity on any area
    burn scars.

    Areas affected...FL Panhandle into southeastern AL and central GA

    Concerning...Heavy rainfall...Flash flooding possible

    Valid 130815Z - 131345Z

    SUMMARY...A low probability threat for flash flooding due to
    training will exist from the FL Panhandle into southeastern AL and
    central GA through ~13Z. The threat will carry the potential for
    rainfall rates in the 1-2 in/hr range within any areas of training.

    DISCUSSION...Radar imagery at 08Z showed that a SW to NE oriented
    axis of thunderstorms extended from the western FL Panhandle into
    north-central GA. These thunderstorms were located out ahead of a
    cold front and trends over the past few hours have shown a
    weakening of the portion of the line over southwestern AL in favor
    of strengthening of a new line out ahead, which was currently
    crossing the western FL Panhandle. Recent infrared satellite/radar
    trends through 08Z showed yet another line beginning to organize
    about ahead of the existing convective axis, ~85 miles south of
    Mobile Bay.

    The environment within the warm sector was characterized by 500 to
    1500 J/kg MLCAPE from the warm frontal position along the AL/GA
    border to just south of the Gulf Coast along the FL Panhandle.
    Flash flood guidance was lowest to the north (2-3 inches in 3
    hours) and highest in western FL (4+ inches in 3 hours). The
    greatest potential for high rainfall rates, near or even in excess
    of 2 in/hr, will exist within the better instability across
    southern locations.

    Water vapor imagery showed a longwave trough over the central U.S.
    advancing east, but with the base of the trough lifting north,
    from OK to the MS Valley. This deamplification along the southern
    end of the upper trough favors a gradual weakening trend of 850 mb
    wind magnitude and of convective intensity over the AL/GA/FL
    tri-state region. However, lingering instability and sufficient
    low level moisture transport could allow for training if the
    convective axis to the south continues to expand north and meets
    with the ongoing northern portion advancing to the east at a
    somewhat faster pace. While the general movement should be a
    progressive eastward movement at 25-30 kt, There is a low end
    chance that alignment of the heavy rain axis/axes will allow for a
    brief period of training, which could contain rainfall rates of
    1-2 in/hr, and local 2-3 inches of rain over a 2 to 3 hour window.
    Localized flash flooding could result, but again, this threat
    appears to be fairly low and recent CAM guidance does not support
    much in the way of a flash flood threat over the next 3-5 hours.

    Areas affected...Coastal Central and Southern
    California...Foothills of Sierra Nevada...

    Concerning...Heavy rainfall...Flash flooding likely

    Valid 131730Z - 140300Z

    SUMMARY...Strong Cyclone and atypically broad Atmospheric River
    will have potential for .75"/hr rates and localized totals of 3-5"
    in favored orographic ascent. Flash flooding is likely, especially
    in lower FFG of Southern California. Significant flash flooding
    may be possible in/near fresh burn scars.=20

    DISCUSSION...GOES-W WV suite depicts a broad, fairly symmetric
    closed low just off the NW coast of California continuing to bowl
    ESE likely crossing the coastline much later tonight. This low is
    atypically deep with the 90th to 95th percentile, but in
    combination with fairly cold/stronger ridging downstream has
    resulted in an atypically broad subtropical moisture plume with
    1.25-1.5" total PWat values along upstream along/ahead of the
    height-falls and associated cold front. GOES-W Vis/IR suite
    denotes a stark cloud line with slightly anafrontal to the
    southeastward cold front and moisture surge. Within the thick
    stratus plume, 850-700mb flow is in the 50-65kt range and is
    currently orthogonal to the Santa Lucia and Diablo Ranges,
    presenting strong IVT/orographic convergence along the range.

    ...Central California/Sierra Nevada Foothills...
    The IVT values are 4-5 standard anomaly units above seasonal
    average and range about 700-900 kg/m/s. Rates have been slowly
    increasing, with 3hr totals reaching 1-1.25" but will likely
    increase with an additional .5-.75"/hr for maybe 1-2 hours as the
    plume shifts southeastward. Totals already have reached 3-4" in
    the Santa Cruz and northern Santa Lucia resulting in rapid stream
    rises and some localized reports of flash flooding. The
    additional 2-3" over the next few hours will likely result in
    spots of 4-6" totals and continue the flash flooding risk.=20=20

    Additionally, the plume has saturated the sub-cloud environment in
    the San Joaquin Valley to allow for rain to reach the ground as
    the core of the plume presses onshore. The warm front will press
    through to the foothills and help to increased the depth of
    orographic ascent resulting in spots of .75-1"/hr rates before
    becoming very heavy snow at or above 7000Kft. This will decrease
    with the passage of the plume/cold front and the flux will reduce
    accordingly resulting in scattered shallow convective cells and
    bands may aggravate the area given those steepening lapse rates,
    which may have intense but brief cores of heavy rainfall/small
    hail/graupel.

    ...Southern California...
    Unlike further north, there is precedent moist airmass in place
    across the California Bight/Channel Islands, surface to 700mb
    values are above normal and total PWats are in the 1-1.25" range.
    Currently, the warm front has progressed through the highest
    terrain of the Transverse Range and winds are veering slightly
    while increasing. This will allow for short-term increase in
    orographic ascent across the Transverse (particularly east) and
    Peninsular Ranges prior the main core of the AR/cold front later
    this evening. Rates of .25-.33"/hr will increase as winds slowly
    uptick from 15-20 to 30kts by 00z below 7500 Kft across the
    ranges. Spots of 1-1.5" are probable to pre-soak the windward
    facing topography.=20=20

    A few hours prior to 00z, the cold front and AR will round Cape
    Conception and winds will have solid veered profile with depth
    with 40-50kts of 850-700mb flow fairly orthogonal to the range. A
    few hi-Res CAMs suggest 100-250 J/kg may be present from slightly
    higher theta-E air in place allowing for a subtle but important
    uptick in vertical development that should result in .75"/hr rates
    with spotty potential of 1"/hr. The growing concern here, is
    while the plume is less orthogonal to the terrain the breadth of
    the AR will allow for increased duration of exposure to the higher
    flux. As such, below freezing levels, spots of 3-4" are probable
    across the western Transverse Range by 03z and likely to be
    similar toward the eastern and Peninsular Ranges thereafter. It
    is not out of the realm of possibility that spots of 5" are
    possible and heavy rainfall will extend to the coast with .5"/hr
    rates and totals over 1-1.5" resulting likely flash flooding
    conditions through the evening even for urban locations.=20=20

    This is of particular concern given recent burn scars are going to
    be less tolerable to any rates over .50"/hr let alone any
    potential crossings of .75-1"/hr. It is too early to be certain
    about any particular canyon/scar, but given hourly rates and
    overall totals there is a sizable possibility for significant
    flash flooding/debris flows in or near these scars and avoidance
    of this prone areas is strongly advised. Please keep close
    attention to local statements/warnings from WFO Los Angeles, state
    and local emergency managers. It is possible a subsequent
    targeted MPD may be required to address ongoing rainfall trends.=20

    Areas affected...Coastal Southern California...Foothills of the
    SIerra

    Concerning...Heavy rainfall...Flash flooding likely

    Valid 140200Z - 141200Z

    SUMMARY...The ongoing Atmospheric River event will continue into
    the early hours of Saturday, with the threat of .50-.75"+ hourly
    rainfall rates across portions of Southern California and into the
    western upslope of the Sierra. Flash flooding will remain likely
    across Southern California, especially across recent burn scar
    areas, and possible in the foothills of the Sierra. The flash
    flooding threat will be diminishing from west to east across
    Southern California after 0200 UTC as a cold front moves steadily
    east, but should perist to near 1200 UTC in the Sierra Foothills.

    DISCUSSION...The latest GOES-W satellite imagery shows the broad
    mid to upper level trof along the west coast pushing steadily
    inland. An axis of anomalous PW values..2 to 2.5+ standard
    deviations above the mean, and 850-700 mb moisture flux anomalies
    of 3 to 5+ standard deviations above the mean, will continue on
    the southeast side of this upper trof, along and ahead of the
    associated cold front pushing steadily eastward across Southern
    California this evening. Surface analysis at 0000 UTC indicates
    this front having pushed to the southeast of Santa Barbara and
    extending eastward just south of Sandburg and Edwards AFB.=20=20=20
    There is good consensus in the latest hi res guidance on the
    timing of the primary heavy rain areas in the vicinity of this=20
    front pushing across Southern California this evening. HREF
    neighborhood probabilities are high, 90%+, for hourly rain totals
    of .50"+/hr along and ahead of the front, but drop to generally
    less than 25% for 1"+/hr, reflective of the progressive nature of
    this front. This progression will lead to a sharp cutoff in the
    flash flood threat as the front passes. However, until this
    occurs, flash flooding will remain likely across Southern
    California, especially over recent burn scar regions.=20

    ..Foothills of the Sierra Nevada...
    While the primary anomalous PW axis will remain across Southern
    California this evening, persistent west southwesterly low level
    upslope flow level will continue to impact the foothills of the
    Sierra into early Saturday. HREF neighborhood probabilities for
    .50"+/hr rainfall amounts are not as high or continuous as areas
    across Southern California. but do depict potential for localized
    heavy amounts and the potential for flash flooding issues.=20
    Simulated hi res radars do show potential for cells to be much
    slower moving and train in the upslope regions of the Sierra. In
    areas of training, additional hourly amounts of .50-.75"+ and
    additional totals of 2-3" are possible through early Saturday
    morning.

    Areas affected...northeastern AR across MS Valley into KY and TN

    Concerning...Heavy rainfall...Flash flooding possible

    Valid 150717Z - 151315Z

    SUMMARY...The threat for flash flooding will steadily increase
    over the next 3-6 hours from northeastern AR, across the MS Valley
    and into KY and TN. Training and repeating rounds of rain will
    produce peak hourly rainfall of 0.5 to 1.5 inches and 6 hour
    totals of 1 to 2 inches, locally as high as 3 inches.

    DISCUSSION...Scattered showers and elevated thunderstorms were
    observed to be increasing in coverage over portions of the lower
    and middle MS Valleys in association with strong low level warm
    air advection. 850 mb winds were from the S to SW, peaking around
    70 kt in southern MO (per VAD wind data). Layered PW imagery
    showed the rapid northward return of moisture from the eastern
    half of TX into the lower MS Valley (surface to 700 mb layers),
    allowing for the swift development of MUCAPE from west to east as
    dewpoints in the lower layers of the troposphere increase,
    allowing parcels to make use of relatively steep 700-500 mb lapse
    rates (6-7 C/km).

    Regional radar imagery at 07Z showed a persistent region of
    elevated convection from northeastern AR into northwestern TN,
    co-located with an axis of moisture flux convergence located at
    the leading edge of low level moisture return. Alignment of this
    axis and the mean steering flow from the WSW has caused training
    and repeating rounds of heavy rain to affect portions of
    northeastern AR into far northwestern TN. Local Wunderground
    rainfall network observations have shown 0.3 to 0.6 inches of rain
    within 30 minutes and one report as high as 0.7 inches in 30
    minutes, just south of the MO Bootheel from ~06Z.

    Expectations are for continued low level warm air advection to
    maintain the trend of increasing MUCAPE values toward the east,
    supporting elevated thunderstorms into central KY/TN later this
    morning. RAP forecasts indicate little latitudinal movement of the
    elevated zone of low level convergence over the next several hours
    and additional upstream development is anticipated over AR in the
    12-15Z window as forcing for ascent increases ahead of an
    approaching shortwave trough axis which extended from the central
    High Plains into the Desert Southwest at 07Z. Repeating rounds of
    showers and thunderstorms will continue through the morning with
    periodic episodes of training which will translate into locally
    high rainfall rates.

    Soil moisture across a large portion of the region is above
    average due to recent rainfall and/or snow melt. As a result, FFG
    values are low, with less than 2 inches in 3 hours along the KY/TN
    border and less than 2.5 inches in 3 hours closer to the MS River.
    While this MPD is tagged with flash flooding "possible", the
    threat is only expected to increase over the region during the
    daytime hours.

    Areas affected...Portions of the OH/TN Valleys and Mid-South

    Concerning...Heavy rainfall...Flash flooding likely

    Valid 151330Z - 151930Z

    SUMMARY...An expansive axis of heavy showers and thunderstorms
    with strong cell-training concerns will be promoting a widespread
    flash flood threat over the next several hours across portions of
    the OH/TN Valley region and Mid-South.

    DISCUSSION...The latest GOES-E IR satellite imagery shows an
    expansive areas of heavy shower and thunderstorm activity
    impacting areas of eastern AR up across central and western TN and
    much of central and southern KY. Light to moderate stratiform
    rains are noted north of here closer to the OH River and also into
    the central Appalachians.

    The convection that is organizing is associated with strong warm
    air advection which is being aided by a powerful southwest
    low-level jet of 50 to 60+ kts overrunning a strong frontal zone.
    This is driving very strong moisture transport which is showing up
    in an impressive fashion with the experimental CIRA-LVT (Layered
    Vapor Transport) imagery as it is depicting SFC/850 layer LVT
    magnitudes of 300+ kg/m/s. Meanwhile, a nose of MUCAPE values on
    the order of 500 to 1000 J/kg is now oriented up across central to
    northeast AR through western TN and western KY and this is helping
    to facilitate the broader axis of elevated convection.

    Over the next several hours, very strong warm air advection and
    moisture transport will continue to support organizing bands of
    convection that will be aligned with the deeper layer mean flow
    and thus will be conducive for a substantial level of
    cell-training. Increasing CAPE values with time along with
    strengthening shear profiles will support stronger convective
    elements that will yield increasingly heavy rainfall rates.

    Rainfall rates with the stronger storms may reach as high as 1 to
    1.5 inches/hour at least going through midday, but with
    significant cell-training concerns, this may result in some
    rainfall amounts by early afternoon alone of 2 to 4 inches. The
    latest CAM guidance suggests areas of western/northern TN through
    southern KY will have the heaviest totals going through the 18Z to
    20Z time frame, with somewhat lesser amounts farther north.

    Given the extremely sensitive/saturated soil conditions and
    already elevated streamflows for many locations, these rainfall
    totals over the next several hours are likely to begin resulting
    in widespread flash flooding. Additional MPDs will be issued this
    afternoon to update what should evolve into a high-impact and
    life-threatening flash flood event in time.

    Areas affected...Central Appalachians and Portions of the VA
    Piedmont

    Concerning...Heavy rainfall...Flash flooding possible

    Valid 151700Z - 152300Z

    SUMMARY...Heavy rainfall moving into the central Appalachians and
    adjacent areas of the VA Piedmont coupled with areas of melting
    snow will set the stage for areal flooding and possible flash
    flooding going through the afternoon hours.

    DISCUSSION...The latest radar imagery shows moderate to heavy
    rainfall along with locally some mixed precipitation that is in
    the process of changing to rain advancing east across the central
    Appalachians with southern WV and southwest VA seeing generally
    the heaviest corridor of higher rainfall rates. The rainfall is
    associated with strong warm air advection and moisture transport
    into the region which is being aided by a southwest low-level jet
    of 40 to 50 kts.

    Instability is generally non-existent, but the level of isentropic
    ascent and low-level frontogenetical forcing is quite strong and
    is supporting rainfall rates of a 0.25" to 0.50"/hour. Meanwhile,
    heavier rains are noted locally upstream over areas of central and
    eastern KY which will be advancing eastward this afternoon, and
    with an additional strengthening of the low-level jet expected
    this afternoon, somewhat heavier rates that may exceed a
    0.50"/hour will be possible over areas of southern WV down through
    southwest VA. Some very modest intrusion of elevated instability
    may arrive toward this evening that may also support a few
    thunderstorms capable of producing these heavier rates.

    The 12Z HREF guidance suggests additional rainfall amounts of as
    much as 1 to 2+ inches by early this evening. These rains coupled
    with warmer temperatures and a melting snowpack over some of the
    higher terrain, and already high streamflows, will favor an
    increasing concern for areal flooding and potentially some flash
    flooding where these heavier rainfall rates can focus and persist.
    Conditions will continue to be closely monitored over the next
    several hours.

    Areas affected...Lower MS Valley into the Mid-South and OH Valley

    Concerning...Heavy rainfall...Flash flooding likely

    Valid 151855Z - 160055Z

    SUMMARY...Flash flooding will become more expansive and
    significant going into the early evening hours as heavy showers
    and thunderstorms organize and train over the same area. Some of
    the flash flooding is expected to be extremely dangerous and
    life-threatening.

    DISCUSSION...Strong shortwave energy ejecting east out across the
    southern Plains will be encroaching on the Lower MS Valley this
    afternoon and will be interacting with a moist and increasingly
    unstable airmass which coupled with strengthening shear profiles
    will set the stage for expanding clusters of strong to severe
    thunderstorms. This is likely to include a combination of
    multicell and supercell convection which will be embedded within
    an environment conducive for yielding very heavy rainfall rates.

    GOES-E visible satellite imagery shows a notable increase in cloud
    street activity across LA/MS and through central and southern AR
    which is indicative of an increasingly unstable boundary layer.
    Diurnal heating via solar insolation has allowed for MLCAPE values
    to increase to 1000 to 1500 J/kg, and these values will continue
    to increase over the next few hours. A quasi-stationary front is
    draped from the Arklatex northeastward into northern MS and far
    southwest TN with multiple waves of low pressure noted along it.
    Meanwhile, a powerful southwest low-level jet is in place reaching
    upwards of 50 to 60+ kts and this is yielding very strong moisture
    transport from the Gulf of America up across the broader Lower MS
    Valley and Mid-South region with PWs that have now increased to
    1.3 to 1.5 inches.

    As thunderstorms continue to develop and organize over the next
    several hours, there will be rainfall rates capable of reaching
    1.5 to 2 inches/hour with the stronger cells. Cell-merger and
    cell-training concerns will increase by later this afternoon and
    this evening with potentially some QLCS-related training of storms
    possible in the 21Z to 00Z time frame from south-central to
    northeast AR into the MO Bootheel, northwest TN and far southwest
    KY. This is favored by a consensus of the 12Z HREF and the 16Z to
    18Z runs of the experimental WoFS guidance which shows a
    combination of multicell, supercell and QLCS-driven convection
    heading into the evening hours.

    Additional rainfall amounts of as much as 3 to 6 inches are
    expected within the corridors of greatest cell-training which
    currently is being most favored across northeast AR into the MO
    Bootheel, northwest TN and far southwest KY going through 00Z.
    Given that some of these areas already have flash flooding
    ongoing, the additional rains are likely to foster extremely
    dangerous and life-threatening flash flooding conditions by this
    evening, with Flash Flood Emergency level impacts possible. As
    conditions evolve this evening, additional MPDs will be issued to
    address this high-impact event.

    NWS Weather Prediction Center College Park MD
    246 PM EST Sat Feb 15 2025

    Areas affected...Portions of the OH/TN Valleys and Central
    Appalachians

    Concerning...Heavy rainfall...Flash flooding likely

    Valid 151945Z - 160145Z

    SUMMARY...Locally significant flash flooding is expected going
    into the evening hours from persistent heavy rainfall over
    saturated soils.

    DISCUSSION...The latest GOES-E IR satellite imagery along with
    dual-pol radar shows an expansive area of heavy rain continuing to
    advance west to east across central and eastern KY and into
    southwest VA and southern WV. The activity continues to be
    associated with strong warm air advection which is being aided by
    a powerful southwest low-level jet of 40 to 60+ kts overrunning a
    strong frontal zone.

    This is driving very strong moisture transport with magnitudes in
    the SFC/850 mb layer of as much as 320 kg/m/s aiming across much
    of western and central TN and toward southern KY as seen in the
    experimental CIRA-LVT (Layered Vapor Transport) imagery. Some very
    modest instability with MUCAPE values of as much as 100 to 250
    J/kg is noted over the region and this has been supporting some
    occasional elevated convective elements.

    Over the next several hours heading into the evening, there will
    continue to be a west to east axis of heavy rainfall given the
    level of strong isentropic ascent and frontogenetical forcing, but
    as a warm front lifts north with time, this band of heavy rainfall
    should also gain latitude with the rain eventually getting into
    more of north-central to northeast KY and central WV.

    The rainfall rates should be able to at least occasionally reach
    into the 0.50" to 0.75"/hour range, and especially with any
    stronger convective elements that continue to materialize. These
    rates and overall persistence of heavy rainfall should support
    additional rainfall totals by early this evening of 1 to 2 inches
    with locally higher amounts.

    Many areas have ongoing areal flooding and flash flooding, and
    with extremely sensitive/saturated soil conditions and very high
    streamflows, much of the additional rainfall will lead to
    immediate runoff and potentially support significant flash
    flooding for some locations. This will include areas of the
    central Appalachians for locations that currently also have a
    melting snowpack and thus added water runoff concerns.

    Areas affected...Lower MS Valley into the Mid-South and OH Valley

    Concerning...Heavy rainfall...Flash flooding likely

    Valid 160045Z - 160645Z

    SUMMARY...Widespread flash flooding with damaging and
    life-threatening impacts will continue as showers and
    thunderstorms continue to train locally over the same area and
    focus heavy rainfall totals.

    DISCUSSION...The latest GOES-E IR satellite imagery along with
    dual-pol radar shows widespread and well-organized showers and
    thunderstorms impacting much of the Lower MS Valley with a
    northeastward extension up across portions of the Mid-South and
    the OH Valley. Strong shortwave energy is crossing the Arklatex
    and will be rapidly lifting northeastward into the OH Valley
    overnight. As it does so, the energy will be interacting with a
    moist and moderately buoyant airmass continuing to surge
    northeastward from the Lower MS Valley.

    This airmass is characterized by MUCAPE values of as much as 1000
    to 1500 J/kg and PWs approaching 1.5 inches which is also being
    aided by the persistence of a powerful 50 to 60+ kt southwest
    low-level jet. Radar imagery shows a QLCS currently evolving from
    eastern AR up across western TN and western KY with some embedded
    supercell convection. The better thermodynamics are situated from
    southeast AR through northern MS and into western TN and this
    should provide convective sustenance through the remainder of the
    evening hours as the overall QLCS activity advances off to the
    east.

    While the southern flank of the overall convective footprint this
    evening should become increasingly progressive as a cold front
    arrives from the west, there will still be notable concerns for
    training showers and thunderstorms for several more hours farther
    off to the northeast in close vicinity of a warm front lifting
    north through the OH Valley.

    Rainfall rates with the stronger storms over the next several
    hours will still be capable of reaching 1.5 to 2 inches/hour with
    the strongest of cells. Additional rainfall amounts going through
    06Z may reach as high as 2 to 4 inches with isolated heavier
    amounts not out of the question.

    Many areas have already received 2 to 4 inches of rain since early
    this morning, and the extremely sensitive ground conditions with
    saturated soils and ongoing widespread areas of flash flooding
    coupled with the additional rainfall, will pose concerns for
    potentially Flash Flood Emergency level impacts with damaging and life-threatening conditions. This situation will continue to be
    closely monitored.

    Areas affected...Northern LA...Central and Northern MS...Western
    and Northern AL...Middle TN

    Concerning...Heavy rainfall...Flash flooding possible

    Valid 160120Z - 160720Z

    SUMMARY...Heavy showers and thunderstorms will be sweeping across
    the region over the next several hours which may produce some
    areas of flash flooding, with especially the more urbanized
    locations at risk for potential runoff problems.

    DISCUSSION...Radar and satellite imagery shows an evolving QLCS
    crossing through areas of eastern AR through western TN, with more
    broken clusters of organized convection including a few supercells
    down across areas of northern LA which is beginning to move into
    areas of western MS.

    The airmass downstream of the current convection is moist and
    moderately buoyant with MLCAPE values of 1000 to 1500 J/kg locally
    and PWs of near 1.5 inches. However, a substantial amount of shear
    remains in place ahead of the strong shortwave and attendant
    frontal system crossing the Lower MS Valley. A very strong
    low-level jet of 50 to 60+ kts remains a key player in driving
    enhanced moisture/instability transport and this will sustain the
    convective threat well into the overnight hours as a cold front
    approaches and eventually crosses the region.

    Rainfall rates associated with the QLCS and more discrete
    supercell activity over the next several hours will likely reach
    as high as 1.5 to 2 inches/hour, and there may be at least some
    occasional cell-merger and cell-training activity that will
    support some locally excessive rainfall totals that may reach 2 to
    4 inches.

    NASA SPoRT data shows antecedent soil conditions on the moist side
    across much of the region given the heavy rainfall that occurred a
    few days ago. This coupled with the locally heavy convective rains
    over the next several hours may pose at least some concern for
    areas of flash flooding. However, generally the more urbanized
    locations will be at greatest risk for runoff problems and impacts
    heading into the overnight hours.

    Areas affected...Portions of the OH Valley and Central
    Appalachians

    Concerning...Heavy rainfall...Flash flooding likely

    Valid 160200Z - 160800Z

    SUMMARY...Locally significant and life-threatening flash flooding
    will continue into the overnight hours with additional Flash Flood
    Emergency level impacts possible from additional rounds of heavy
    rainfall, with the central Appalachians continuing to see the
    greatest risk of this.

    DISCUSSION...The latest radar imagery continues to show an
    expansive area of heavy rainfall impacting areas of mainly
    north-central to northeast KY through central WV and down into
    areas of south-central VA. The activity continues to be associated
    with strong warm air advection which is being aided by a powerful
    southwest low-level jet of 40 to 60+ kts surging up through the
    OH/TN Valley region and into the central Appalachians.

    Very strong transport continues as a result which coupled with
    enhanced isentropic ascent and frontogenetical forcing continue to
    yield heavy rainfall rates generally in the 0.25" to 0.50"/hour
    range with some occasionally heavier rates where some embedded
    elevated convective elements focus. Some very modest instability
    with MUCAPE values of as much as 100 to 250 J/kg is noted over the
    region and this continues to favor at least some transient pockets
    of convection.

    A warm front continues to gradually lift north into the OH Valley
    and central Appalachians and this is allowing for the overall
    heavy rainfall shield to gain latitude. Going into the overnight
    hours, rainfall rates should still be capable of reaching a
    0.50+"/hour locally and especially with the aforementioned pockets
    of elevated convection. Additional rains of as much as 1 to 2
    inches will be possible over the next 6 hours, with areas closer
    to the OH River involving northeast KY and southern OH seeing
    potentially 2 to 3 inches given heavier rainfall approaching from
    western KY including some stronger pockets of even stronger
    convection.

    Given the additional rainfall and ongoing widespread focus of
    areal flooding and flash flooding, significant and
    life-threatening flash flooding is likely to continue with
    additional potential for Flash Flood Emergency level impacts. This
    will especially be the case over portions of the central
    Appalachians where there have already been a total of 4 Flash
    Flood Emergencies issued since early this afternoon.

    Areas affected...southwestern to eastern OH into western PA

    Concerning...Heavy rainfall...Flash flooding possible

    Valid 160430Z - 161000Z

    SUMMARY...Localized flash flooding will be possible from portions
    of southwestern OH into eastern OH and western PA through 10Z.
    Peak rainfall rates between 0.50 and 0.75 in/hr may occur but most
    locations should see lower rates. Still, the addition of 1-2
    inches of rain over a relatively short period of time atop
    sensitive ground conditions may result in localized flash flooding.

    DISCUSSION...Regional radar imagery at 04Z depicted an area of
    higher reflectivity moving east-northeastward into
    southwestern/central OH, just north of MPDs #42 and #44. While
    bright banding accounts for these higher reflectivity values with
    surface temperatures only in the 30s and 40s, ground observations
    have reported peak rainfall rates of about 0.25 to 0.50 inches
    (locally higher) to the west and north of Cincinnati within the
    last hour. This axis of precipitation is related to a
    strengthening zone of low level frontogenesis (850-700 mb),
    located north of an approaching surface low in KY, connected to a quasi-stationary front that extended through eastern KY into
    north-central WV. SPC mesoanalysis data from 04Z indicated less
    than 100 J/kg MUCAPE to the north of the front into OH. Strong
    divergence aloft was also present over the region, given the
    position of a 180+ kt upper level jet max located over MI and Lake
    Huron, placing OH within its favorable right-entrance region.

    Short term RAP forecasts indicate the surface low over KY will
    steadily track northeastward over the next several hours, allowing
    the front to lift north as a warm front through 09Z. This movement
    will cause the strong axis of frontogenesis to also lift north
    while weak MUCAPE (up to 150 J/kg or so) moves into southeastern
    OH and western PA between 06-09Z. Bands of heavy rain are expected
    within the broader precipitation shield with occasional rates as
    high as 0.50 to 0.75 in/hr. Additional rainfall of 1 to 2 inches
    is expected to occur through 10Z from southwestern OH into eastern
    OH and western PA. While this region of the Midwest has escaped
    the ongoing significant rains and flooding to the south, soils
    remain sensitive with low FFG values of only 1 inch in 3 hours
    across the upper OH Valley. Localized flash flooding may result
    due to an additional 1-2 inches of rain over a fairly short period
    of time.

    Areas affected...Cumberland Plateau into central Appalachians

    Concerning...Heavy rainfall...Flash flooding likely

    Valid 160639Z - 161230Z

    SUMMARY...Despite an expected weakening trend in rainfall
    intensity, additional rainfall over a 2-3 hour window will impact
    locations of the central Appalachians hard hit on Saturday. Up to
    an inch of rain is expected in some locations with rates of 0.25
    to 0.5 in/hr. These rains are expected to exacerbate ongoing
    flooding concerns.

    DISCUSSION...0630Z radar imagery showed that a squall line
    extended SSW from southern TN (between I-65 and I-24) into
    northwestern AL. An inflection along the line was noted over
    southern TN with an inferred low level vorticity max to its west.
    North of the inflection point, the convective line was weaker but
    still has had a history of producing hourly rainfall in excess of
    1 inch over Middle TN since 04Z. The convective line has begun to
    outpace many of the 00Z hires models, most notably over AL, likely
    not properly capturing the influence of the mesoscale vorticity
    max.

    Going forward, instability will be a limiting factor to higher
    rainfall rate potential across the "northern" locations of eastern
    KY, southern WV and western VA. However, recent hires models may
    be slightly downplaying rainfall rate potential from the
    Cumberland Plateau into the central Appalachians. Current thinking
    is that 0.25 to 0.50 in/hr will be possible from eastern KY into
    southern WV and western VA with locally higher rates farther south
    over eastern TN where up to a couple hundred J/kg of CAPE may be
    present to locally boost rainfall intensity. However, heavy
    rainfall duration will be limited by the progressive movement of
    the convective line across TN.

    Farther north into eastern KY, southern WV and western VA, poorer
    organization of the line will be somewhat offset by a longer
    duration of rainfall, about 2-3 hours is when a majority of the
    expected rainfall will fall. Portions of this region have received
    heavy rainfall over the past 24 hours and have ongoing/widespread
    significant flooding. Up to an additional inch of rain may fall
    across these sensitive locations which will act to exacerbate
    existing flooding concerns.

    Areas affected...upper OH Valley

    Concerning...Heavy rainfall...Flash flooding likely

    Valid 160730Z - 161030Z

    SUMMARY...Moderate to heavy rain will continue to translate east
    through the upper OH Valley in the short term with an additional
    inch of rain through 1030Z. Renewed flash flooding is expected.

    DISCUSSION...0730Z radar imagery showed a leading linear segment
    of heavy rain moving through eastern KY, followed by a stratiform
    region of moderate to heavy rain over eastern KY. As a low level
    vorticity max advances northeast from Middle TN, an 2-3 hour long
    duration of stratiform moderate to heavy rain is expected to
    advance into eastern KY, southern OH and eventually portions of
    western WV. In addition, preceding the stratiform region will be a
    leading line of showers with embedded thunderstorms which have had
    a history of 0.25 to 0.50 in an hour but with a 0.25 inch or more
    in 15 minutes over eastern KY.

    As the entire envelope of rain translates toward the
    east/northeast, additional totals up to about an inch are expected
    through 1030Z, with a likelihood of renewed flash flooding or a continued/worsening of ongoing flooding concerns occurring from
    heavy rain which fell over the past 24 hours.

    Areas affected...Pacific Northwest

    Concerning...Heavy rainfall

    Valid 222020Z - 230820Z

    SUMMARY...Atmospheric river conditions arriving across the Pacific
    Northwest will bring heavy rainfall in across the coastal ranges
    and into the windward slopes of the Cascades later today and
    tonight.

    DISCUSSION...A series of offshore shortwave impulses lifting
    northeastward toward British Columbia over the next 6 to 12 hours
    will be bringing an offshore frontal system toward the coastal
    ranges of western WA and western OR along with strong atmospheric
    river conditions.

    The latest GOES-W WV suite along with CIRA-ALPW and experimental
    LVT data shows a very well-defined trans-Pacific fetch of deep
    moisture extending from just offshore of the Pacific Northwest
    southwestward all the way down to northwest of Hawaii with notable
    tropical origins of some of the moisture transport. Multiple
    low-amplitude shortwave impulses are embedded within this
    atmospheric river channel, and this will help to facilitate strong
    warm air advection and onshore flow into especially the coastal
    ranges of western WA and western OR along with the windward slopes
    of the Cascades by later today and continuing into the overnight
    period that will drive locally enhanced rainfall amounts.

    PW anomalies are forecast to rise to 2 to 3+ standard deviations
    above the climatological mean by 00Z and continue at this level
    through tonight as a strong southwest low to mid-level jet sets up
    and persists just offshore and overruns the higher terrain of the
    Pacific Northwest. In fact, the 850/700mb moisture flux anomalies
    are forecast to rise to as much as 3 to 5+ standard deviations
    above normal, with one peak this evening by around 00Z and then
    another later tonight as the arrival of each shortwave impulse
    corresponds to a stronger low to mid-level wind field.

    Given the enhanced deep layer warm air advection and moisture
    transport along with some of its tropical origin, the rainfall
    rates are expected to be efficiently high. The 12Z HREF guidance
    shows high probabilities of seeing 0.50" to 0.75"/hour rainfall
    rates across the Olympic Peninsula in the 21Z to 00Z time frame,
    with portions of the southwest WA coastal range also seeing
    elevated probabilities of these rates toward early this evening.
    Areas farther east into the windward slopes of the Cascades and
    farther south across coastal OR and gradually coastal northwest CA
    should see rates easily reach into the 0.25" to 0.50"/hour range
    with rates occasionally over a 0.50"/hour.

    Over the next 12 hours, some rainfall totals are expected to reach
    as high as 3 to 5+ inches over the higher terrain and especially
    the favored coastal ranges and upslope areas of the Cascades with
    lesser amounts over the adjacent interior valleys/terrain-shadowed
    locations. Generally these initial rains are not likely to cause
    much in the way of any flooding threat aside from potentially some
    localized urban and small stream runoff concerns where the heavier
    and more persistent rates set up. However, additional heavy
    rainfall beyond this period going into Sunday will gradually raise
    the flooding threat.

    Areas affected...Coastal and Cascade Ranges of S WA, OR & Far
    Northwest CA & E WA/SE OR/N ID...

    Concerning...Heavy rainfall

    Valid 230800Z - 231800Z

    SUMMARY...Prolonged AR continues but very broad plume of moisture
    will start to focus ahead of next stronger cyclone/frontal push
    toward 18z. Deep moisture surges through the Columbia Plateau
    into E WA/N ID prepping the soils/increasing run-off ahead of next
    surge.

    DISCUSSION...GOES-W WV suite shows broad cirrus canopy associated
    with polar jet streak and deep atmospheric river extending from
    the eastern Pacific across W WA into S British Columbia into the
    entrance of the core jet streak that is about 150-160kts. The weakening/initial low level cyclone has occluded northward into
    the central BC coastal region with the front extending southward
    into/near the Cascade Range, while the warm front extends through
    the Columbia River Valley. CIRA LPW, particularly the sfc-850mb
    layer bares this evolution out very well with the cold front
    starting to sag/stall SW to NE just across the W WA angling back
    toward the next approaching stronger wave out near 150W. The
    plume remains very broad/wide from the W WA coast to the
    Lost/Redwood coast of northwest California with a solid slug of
    850-500mb centered on the NW Oregon coast extending back toward
    37-38N and 140W; both layers showing associated moisture flux
    values running well into 99th percentile for the 20 year record.=20
    As such, 1.25" TPW values intersect much of the coastline with
    weakly confluent 850-700mb flow angled from the SW about 30
    degrees off perpendicular, but given the depth has washed over the
    coastal range to to the Cascades. Still, within a broad ascent
    pattern in the exiting right entrance pattern provides a
    continuation of moderate rainfall rates of .25-.3"/hr, slowly
    reducing from north to south across the WA Cascades through the
    early morning (but remaining solid further south across OR). This
    should result in 2-4" totals across the coastal and Cascade ranges
    of Oregon to 18z; with 1.5-2.5" across WA early through 15z.

    ...Eastern Washington/N Idaho...
    As noted above, the broad plume is broad and deep enough to wash
    over the coastal range and has begun to fill the Columbia river
    Valley into the Plateau region. IVT values of 300-400 kg/m/s will
    increase to near 500-600 kg/m/s along 30-45kts of gap flow through
    the Plateau into the foothills and eventually higher terrain of SW
    WA/NE OR and then toward the Clearwater Range by 12z. Total PWat
    values are starting to increase above .75" which would place 90+th
    percentile moisture for the date at OTX and GFS/ECMWF flux values
    at 3-5 standard anomaly values across the area. While total
    moisture is much less than coastal positions, rates of .15-.2" may
    occasionally reach .25"/hr with steadily increasing freezing
    levels with all but the highest peaks along the ID/MT boarder and
    further south across the Blue/Wallowa and Salmon River Ranges
    likely to experience more rain than snow/wintry mix. As such
    spots of 1-2" totals are expected by 18z. Given the rates are low
    and prolonged, this will more likely pre-soak the soils with
    slowly increasing run-off values with this particular surge of
    moisture...but there is more to come that may be more likely to
    result in localized flooding concerns.

    ...Southwest Oregon/Northwest California...
    As the jet streak exits the broader wave of deep moisture will
    remained focused across much of OR into NW CA. As the trailing
    edge to the prior forcing backs ahead of the next stronger
    approaching shortwave/developing low level cyclone/pressure trough
    toward 18z, westerly winds will increase into the 45-50kt range
    becoming ever so slightly more orthogonal to the boreal rain
    forests of SW OR/NW CA. IVT values over 700 kg/m/s combined with
    slightly steeper orography will allow for rain-rates to exceed
    .5"/hr, occasionally reaching .75"/hr starting around 09-10z.=20
    This will be prolonged for about 6-9hrs and potentially result in
    localized spots of 4-6". This is not atypical for these
    rain-forests but still strong enough for increased run-off and low
    end flooding potential before the core of the narrowing AR plume
    starts to shift northward with strengthening warm air advection
    after 15z.=20

    There will remain some timing/uncertainty to the width of the core
    of the heavy rainfall surge toward 18z and a subsequent MPD will
    be required at that time to provide additional details for the
    main surge of heaviest rainfall/highest impacts to this longer
    duration AR event.=20

    Areas affected...Pacific Northwest

    Concerning...Heavy rainfall

    Valid 231825Z - 240625Z

    SUMMARY...An atmospheric river resurgence this afternoon and
    evening will bring a new round of heavy rainfall to the Pacific
    Northwest and especially for the coastal ranges and windward
    slopes of the Cascades.

    DISCUSSION...The latest GOES-W WV suite shows a negatively tilted
    upper-level trough in between 40-50N and approaching 130W with an
    occluded low center near 48N 142W. This energy will gradually
    advance off to the northeast toward the Pacific Northwest and
    British Columbia over the next 6 to 12 hours which will bring a
    resurgence of stronger atmospheric river conditions back across
    the region this afternoon through this evening.

    A warm front that is currently oriented west to east across the
    Columbia River basin will lift back northward with time as a
    strong low to mid-level jet surges northeastward ahead of the
    approaching offshore surface low and upper-level trough axis. This
    will bring a resurgence of strong warm air advection and moisture
    transport into the coastal ranges from far northwest CA up across
    western OR and western WA through this evening.

    IVT magnitudes are already increasing again across coastal
    northwest CA and much of western OR and will be well into the 600
    to 800+ kg/m/s range this afternoon through early this evening as
    the offshore cold front approaches the region. These IVT values
    will increase up across western WA as well, with magnitudes here
    generally rising back as high as 400 to 600 kg/m/s.

    PW anomalies of 2 to 3+ standard deviations above normal are
    forecast through this evening ahead of the cold front and this
    coupled with 850/700 mb moisture flux anomalies of 3 to 5+
    standard deviations above normal should favor rainfall rates
    reaching as high as 0.50" to 0.75"/hour. The heaviest rates should
    tend to be focused across the OR coastal ranges and there is some
    low-end potential for rates to even approach 1.0"/hour with
    arrival of the strongest IVT parameters and forcing later this
    afternoon. Enhanced IVT spillover into the windward slopes of the
    Cascades should support at least spotty areas of a 0.50" to
    0.75"/hour rates here, but the rates overall should tend to be
    somewhat more modest farther north into western WA with lower IVT
    values and lower PWs by comparison to western OR.

    A cold front will advance inland by late this evening and this
    will then allow for another break in the overall atmospheric
    regime with rates once again then coming back down. However, at
    least over the next 6 to 12 hours, expect additional rainfall
    amounts of as much as 2 to 4 inches for western OR and 1 to 3
    inches for western WA. These rains may bring additional concerns
    regionally for runoff problems including small stream and urban
    flooding.

    Areas affected...WA/OR Coastal Ranges into Cascades

    Concerning...Heavy rainfall

    Valid 242022Z - 250815Z

    SUMMARY...Areas of heavy rain will return to the WA and OR Coastal
    Ranges and downstream into the Cascades later today/tonight. While
    peak rainfall rates may reach/exceed 0.5 in/hr on an isolated
    basis, they are much more likely to remain in the 0.2 to 0.4 in/hr
    range. 12 hour rainfall of 1-2 inches, locally 3+ inches, is
    expected through 08Z.

    DISCUSSION...GOES West water vapor imagery at 20Z showed a
    well-defined closed low centered just west of 130W near 45N. This
    upper low had been strengthening this morning but appears to be
    nearing maturity. At the surface, an occluded cyclone was depicted
    through visible satellite imagery with the WPC 18Z surface
    analysis showing a central pressure of 978 mb and this intensity
    is likely close to peak strength. The triple point was located
    just near the mouth of the Columbia River and what is left of an
    earlier axis of warm advection precipitation was lifting north
    through central WA. Meanwhile, radar imagery showed a band of
    rain, associated with the approaching cold front, moving just past
    the Willamette Valley into the Cascades. The diffluent left exit
    region of a mid-upper level jet streak was also located over the
    lower Columbia River Valley, likely enhancing lift and enhancing
    precipitation intensity.

    Short term forecasts from the RAP suggest the closed low will
    maintain a similar intensity through about 03Z prior to filling as
    it moves toward southern Vancouver Island. The cold frontal band
    will continue to steadily move inland through 00Z, followed by a
    lull in precipitation intensity outside of instability driven
    showers due to steepening mid-level lapse rates tied to the
    approach of the closed low aloft. RAP forecasts show MLCAPE up to
    ~500 J/kg along the OR coast through the early overnight.

    As the deep low level low nears the coast, a period of strong 850
    mb onshore flow is expected to be directed into the coast of
    northern OR into southern WA, with 850 mb wind speeds of 70-80 kt
    in the 03-09Z time frame from the SW to WSW. While snow levels
    will be dropping to ~3500 ft behind the cold front across the
    Pacific Northwest, the u-component of the 850 mb wind will be
    60-70 kt into the Coastal Ranges and 30-45 kt into the Cascades
    with a strong orographic component and steady rainfall of 0.2 to
    0.4 in/hr, locally up to 0.5 in/hr possible.

    While rainfall rates will not be exceptionally high, the addition
    of 1 to 2 more inches, perhaps as high as 3 inches through 08Z, is
    expected. Due to widespread 3 to 6 inch rainfall totals across the
    region over the past 48 hours, additional rainfall may bring
    additional localized concerns for runoff problems including small
    stream and urban flooding.

    Areas affected...Lower Foothills of Western Washington & Far
    Northwest Oregon...

    Concerning...Heavy rainfall

    Valid 250800Z - 252000Z

    SUMMARY...Reducing rainfall rates to .25-.3"/hr and spots of
    additional 2-3" adds to streamflows/ongoing river flooding within
    western facing foothills of Cascades/Olympics, as well as much of
    the Coastal Range.

    DISCUSSION...GOES-W WV shows an textbook symmetric deep layer
    fairly broad cyclone just west of the entrance to the Juan de Fuca
    strait, which is accompanied by a sub 985mb surface low. While
    the cyclone is starting to fill well past peak maturity, a subtle
    lobe of vorticity and associated jet streak is rounding the base
    of the cyclone resulting in broadening diffluent/divergent
    downstream flow across W WA increasing westerly surface to 700mb
    flow. Given onshore surface winds are gusting over 50 mph that
    increase to 70kts by 700mb slowly veering from WSW to W over the
    next few hours, is solidly orthogonal to the SW slopes of the
    Olympics and while moisture is limited due to the deep cold air
    through depth, total PWats of .75" and the strength of winds will
    continue to result in solid rainfall rates of .25 to .3"/hr in the
    lower slopes before the freezing levels about 3Kft.=20

    The upper-low will continue to spin down but approach the coastal
    range maintaining the strong moisture flux with very slow
    reduction with the winds. The Willapa Hills will take the
    greatest brunt of flux closer to the track of the low and best
    orthogonal flow to support .25-.3"/hr for about 9-12 hours which
    will allow for an additional 2-3"+ though spots along the NW
    Oregon Coastal Range in Clatsop and Tillamook counties will see
    slightly reduced rates, but still potent for 1-2.5" totals. Given
    soil conditions are already nearly fully saturated per NASA SPoRT
    LIS product suggesting 85-95% saturation through 40cm, most will
    continue to run off and maintain already increased stream rates
    and flooding conditions in downstream rivers, yet rates are not
    likely to result in rapid rises.

    Downstream into the Cascades, the slopes increase rapidly with
    only limited areas of the lower foothills below freezing levels,
    with much of the moisture above to fall as snow. Still, similar
    1-3" totals in the lower foothills extend mainly north of the
    Columbia river in the Washington Cascades with best rates up to
    .25"/hr likely as the core of the upper-level low crosses later
    this morning into early afternoon (15-20z), ending the prolonged
    atmospheric river event.=20

    Areas affected...Far Southern GA...FL Panhandle into Northern FL

    Concerning...Heavy rainfall...Flash flooding possible

    Valid 090920Z - 091520Z

    SUMMARY...Locally training clusters of heavy showers and
    thunderstorms this morning may result in isolated areas of flash
    flooding.

    DISCUSSION...The latest GOES-E IR satellite imagery along with
    dual-pol radar shows clusters of heavy showers and thunderstorms
    gradually expanding in coverage across portions of the central and
    eastern Gulf Coast region as southerly warm air advection and
    moisture transport interacts with a quasi-stationary front
    extending east from a wave of low pressure just east of New
    Orleans, LA. A modest low-level jet of 20 to 30+ kts is focused
    out ahead of this low pressure wave, with the primary nose of this
    situated up into the FL Panhandle region where PWs are gradually
    increasing along with instability.

    MIMIC-PW data shows the pooling of 1.5 to 1.75 inch PWs currently
    near the central Gulf Coast with the latest RAP analysis showing
    MUCAPE values of 500 to 1000+ J/kg. However, the 3-hour MUCAPE
    differentials are on the order of +400 to +600 J/kg across far
    southern AL through the western part of the FL Panhandle and this
    is where some of the more organized clusters of convection have
    been developing over the last couple of hours.

    As a positively-tilted mid-level trough and associated closed low
    continues to eject east out of the southern Plains and toward the
    Lower MS Valley this morning, there will be a gradual increase in
    downstream upper-level divergence along with a corresponding
    subtle increase in the low-level jet. This coupled with proximity
    of the front across especially the FL Panhandle vicinity should
    help facilitate a further expansion and organization of convection
    in a general west to east fashion which will bring a concerns for
    locally training showers and thunderstorms.

    The HRRR has been generally trending wetter over its last few
    model runs, and the HRRR coupled with the 00Z NSSL-MPAS guidance
    support rainfall rates of 1 to 2 inches/hour, with sufficient
    levels of cell-training to generate totals of as much as 3 to 5
    inches by late this morning. These rains will be falling over
    areas that are relatively dry based off the latest NASA SPoRT soil
    moisture data, but given some of the wetter model trends overnight
    along with the latest radar and satellite data, it will be
    possible that enough rain falls this morning for some isolated
    areas of flash flooding.

    Areas affected...portions of north Florida/Florida Panhandle and
    southern Georgia

    Concerning...Heavy rainfall...Flash flooding possible

    Valid 091532Z - 092132Z

    Summary...Flash flood potential should continue through 21Z/5p EDT
    today as showers and thunderstorms repeat over areas that have
    received 1-2.5 inches of recent rainfall.

    Discussion...The flash flood risk across northern Florida and
    adjacent areas of southern Georgia continues. Latest radar mosaic
    imagery indicates scattered coverage of thunderstorms moving from
    west to east along an axis extending from near Pensacola to near
    Jacksonville. This axis is collocated with a nearly stationary
    baroclinic zone, with localized ascent along that axis occurring
    along the nose of 25-30 knot low-level jet centered over the
    north-central Gulf just southeast of New Orleans. Flow aloft
    remains parallel to the axes of convergence/heaviest rainfall,
    supporting continued training/repeating convective activity.=20
    Moist thermodynamic profiles (1.5+ inch PW) and elevated
    instability (around 1000 J/kg MUCAPE) continue to support robust
    updrafts with local rain rates of 1-2 inches/hr at times beneath
    training convection.

    The ongoing meso-to-synoptic scale pattern supporting heavy rain
    is expected to persist through at least 21Z today. Some question
    exists regarding convective coverage given slight ridging aloft
    ahead of a positive tilt mid-level wave centered over northeast
    Texas, although general consensus (supported by models and
    observations) is that enough convective coverage will continue to
    foster training and occasional 1-2 inch/hr rain rates. Some of
    these rates will fall on wet soils from prior rainfall over the
    last 3-6 hours, promoting localized runoff. Localized totals
    exceeding 3 inches through 21Z cannot be ruled out.

    Areas affected...northern Florida and far southern Georgia

    Concerning...Heavy rainfall...Flash flooding possible

    Valid 092134Z - 100334Z

    Summary...Scattered convection continues to pose an isolated flash
    flood threat while migrating eastward across the discussion area.=20
    Another 1-3 inches of rainfall are possible through 03Z/11p EST
    tonight.

    Discussion...Over the past couple hours, a gradual uptick in
    convective coverage has been noted across the western and central
    Florida Panhandle. This increase in convective coverage is likely
    tied to a few factors, including: 1) subtle geopotential height
    falls ahead of an advancing mid-level wave near the ArkLaTex, 2)
    the inland advection of warm/moist air that can support more
    surface-based convection, and 3) continued convergence on the nose
    of 30-kt southwesterly low-level flow over the central Gulf. The
    increase in coverage along with modest training/repeating has
    resulted in a few areas of 3 inch rainfall totals since 15Z, with
    much of that tally happening in a 2-hour window. Rainfall was
    wetting soils and resulting in lower FFG thresholds especially in
    and north of the I-10 corridor in the central Florida Panhandle
    (near the Tallahassee area). These factors suggest an uptick in
    flash flood potential in the short term.

    The meso-to-synoptic scenario should continue to foster areas of
    heavy rainfall through 03Z. Deep moist convergence should remain
    focused along the Florida Panhandle for the next 3-6 hours as
    forcing for ascent associated with the mid-level wave approaches
    the region. Additional convection should migrate eastward into
    southeastern Georgia and northeastern Florida over time.=20
    Localized 3 inch totals through 03Z remain possible beneath
    training/repeating convective axes. Isolated instances of flash
    flooding are expected as a result.

    Areas affected...Southern GA...FL Panhandle to Northeast FL

    Concerning...Heavy rainfall...Flash flooding possible

    Valid 100300Z - 100900Z

    SUMMARY...Locally training showers and thunderstorms are forecast
    to continue into the overnight hours with additional concerns for
    flash flooding.

    DISCUSSION...The latest radar imagery shows a band of very heavy
    showers and thunderstorms impacting the Big Bend of FL through
    northeast FL, with an emphasis over the last couple of hours on
    parts of Dixie, Lafayette and Taylor Counties. The convection is
    well aligned with a quasi-stationary front draped across the
    region and is being driven by focused low-level moisture
    convergence and the pooling of instability ahead of a wave of low
    pressure transiting the northeast Gulf of America. Meanwhile,
    scattered bands of heavy showers and thunderstorms are also seen
    redeveloping across areas of the FL Panhandle and up across
    southern GA to the north of this front.

    PWs of 1.5 to 1.75 inches are in place along the front along with
    MUCAPE values of about 1000 J/kg. There is a southwest low-level
    jet of 30 to 40 kts helping to favor the moisture and instability
    transport, and with rather divergent flow aloft noted out ahead of
    an approaching mid-level trough, there should continue to be a
    focus well into the overnight hours for additional showers and
    thunderstorms that should generally track in a west-southwest to
    east-northeast fashion.

    Overall, the heaviest rainfall threat at least for the next few
    hours should continue to be in vicinity of the Big Bend of FL, but
    areas downstream toward northeast FL including the greater
    Jacksonville area may also potentially see additional heavy
    rainfall amounts from some of these stronger showers and
    thunderstorms. The 00Z HREF guidance also maintains a threat for
    locally heavy rains across southern GA with sufficient levels of
    elevated instability and forcing expected to remain in place for
    additional small-scale bands of convection going into the
    overnight hours.

    Rainfall rates with the stronger storms will be capable of
    reaching 1.5 to 2 inches/hour, and additional rainfall totals
    overnight may reach as high as 3 to 4+ inches. This will yield an
    additional concern at least locally for flash flooding, with the
    more urbanized locations generally at greatest risk for seeing
    impacts.

    Areas affected...Coastal Southern California...Eastern Channel
    Islands....

    Concerning...Heavy rainfall...Flash flooding possible

    Valid 112020Z - 120215Z

    SUMMARY...Convective elements capable of .5-.75"/hr rates and
    totals up to 1" pose localized possible flash flooding conditions
    particularly in urban/rocky sloped ground conditions.

    DISCUSSION...GOES-W Visible imagery continues to show a band of
    convective cells along the northeast quadrant of the deep layer
    cyclone. An embedded lobe of vorticity is rounding the southern
    base of the low providing subtle but sufficient diffluence aloft
    across the southeastern California Bight with slowly increasing
    DPVA to further enhanced vertical development. WV suite also
    suggests core of upper-level low and cold air advection is
    filtering in steepening the lapse rates with MUCAPE reaching
    500-750 J/kg within the band. Low level confluent response along
    the band and ample surface to 850mb of .5-.6" per CIRA LPW
    combines to support .75-.9" total PWats within/below the
    steepening lapse rates. Cells have a healthy cauliform appearance
    with boiling overshooting tops along the upstream edge; given
    helicity of 100 m2/s2 and sfc-1km shear in the 15-20kt range, weak
    rotation may be further supporting moisture flux into the cores of
    the cells as they advance northeastward. Given all the
    parameters, cores of the cells will be capable of .5-.75"/hr
    rates.

    The uncertainty will continue to be the intersection with land
    areas before the window of opportunity reduces as the vorticity
    center rotates through reducing effective ascent pattern in
    3-6hrs. In the short-term, the upstream forcing should allow for upstream/back-building of cells slowing forward propagation, but
    once the DPVA passes through, cell motions could increase to
    20+kts, limiting totals. As such, cell cores are likely to
    intersect San Clemente, potentially far eastern Catalina islands
    with chance of up to 1" totals (HREF probs of 20-25%); however,
    there is greater uncertainty toward reaching Orange county and
    eastern San Diego county. Still, if cell maintain convective
    vigor (as suggested by recent HRRR and RAP solutions), even .5"/hr
    rates would be near the FFG values in the area; so while localized
    scattered incident or two of flash flooding is considered possible
    through 03z.

    Areas affected...Northwest to Central California...

    Concerning...Heavy rainfall

    Valid 121545Z - 130300Z

    SUMMARY...Progressive cold front/moisture flux to produce 1-2"
    totals in 4-6 hours, particularly only coastal ranges and lower
    foothills of the Sierra Nevada Range.=20

    DISCUSSION...GOES-W WV suite depicts a broad cold larger scale
    trough across the northeast Pacific with a leading northwesterly
    surge of colder air undercutting the base generally a degree or
    two south of the 40N130W benchmark. This is resulting in some
    negative tilt to the base of the trof with downstream responses
    noted in the expanding baroclinic shield cloud in the diffluence
    aloft to the northeast nearing Cape Mendocino. This is starting
    to buckle the surface front and enhanced surface to low level
    cyclogenesis near 39N and 127W backing low level flow and
    increasing the low level jet to 50kts within the broader
    isentropic ascent into the upper-level evacuation zone. Total
    moisture is not particularly impressive with this atmospheric
    river with surface to 850mb CIRA LPW in the .5" range, however,
    the narrow ribbon of mid to upper-level moisture is fairly
    vertically aligned along/ahead of the cold front to support
    reduced drying and perhaps some seeding from the mid-levels to
    keep RH values higher than average in the band.

    Still, the cold air advection is solid/strong resulting in a
    fairly progressive frontal zone push from west to east. Initial
    core of the pre-frontal LLJ is starting to interact with the
    Lost/Redwood near and south of Cape Mendocino. The surface low
    will track throughout the period into the Cape region and
    potentially allow for additional surges of steepening lapse rates
    for secondary convergence bands with weaker/narrow updrafts
    intersecting the coastal region through the remainder of the day.=20
    Rates should remain at or below .5"/hr averaging around .25" and
    support 1.5-2.5" totals in favored orographics, but will come of
    little concern given the rain forest nature to the area. However,
    as the cold front presses through, strong 40-50kts of flow will
    intersect the coastal ranges toward the San Francisco bay through
    21z. As the cyclone continues to deepen, the directional
    convergence along the front will go from 30-45 degrees up to 60-75
    degrees increasing the overall convergence. The undercutting
    upper-level shortwave may also have some peripheral influence of
    steepening lapse rates aloft for some increased vertical ascent to
    these convergence/ascent parcels allowing for narrow scattered
    updrafts along the front with .25 to locally/occasionally reaching
    near .5"/hr with 12z HREF .5"/hr probability values vacillating
    around 30-50% changes north of the Bay through 21-22z time period.
    =20

    ...Central Californian coasts/Central Valley...
    As the front drops south past the San Francisco Bay, the winds
    will continue to be strong but also orient more favorably to the
    Santa Cruz and eventually Santa Lucia ranges with near
    orthogonality through solid depth in the 21-00z time period. The
    IVT strength will be peaking toward 500 kg/m/s with 850-700mb flow
    starting to weaken slightly due to displacement southward from the
    peak cyclogenesis...but still in the 40-50kt range. The
    combination of flux to steeper terrain will result in .5"/hr rates
    being more likely, but given the southward translation of the cold
    front may only result in 1-3 hours and overall totals are more
    likely to be near 2-2.5", but an isolated 3" is not completely out
    of the picture. HREF probability is over 80% for much of the
    period along the Santa Lucia from 23-02z, though never even
    reaches 10% for 1"/hr.

    The moisture surge will have also filtered through the lower
    terrain gap of the Bay and shower activity will also likewise
    increased through the central valley into the lower foothills of
    the Central Sierra Nevada. Similarly, favored, nearly orthogonal
    ascent will support .25-.33"/hr rates. Totals of 1.5-2"+ may
    result in increased runoff, but more likely beneficial in all but
    the most prone areas. Forward progression will continue with the
    front, likely reaching Southern California/Cape Conception after
    03z.=20

    Areas affected...portions of southern California

    Concerning...Heavy rainfall

    Valid 130205Z - 131405Z

    Summary...A frontal band will translate from west to east across
    southern California coastal ranges, resulting in 1-2 inch rainfall
    totals - highest in terrain-favored areas. This rainfall will
    affect burn scars across the region, posing a risk of runoff,
    flash flooding, and debris flows through at least 13Z/6a PDT.

    Discussion...A strong Pacific cold front (currently located near
    KPRB/Paso Robles, CA and KSBP/San Luis Obispo) was making steady
    southeastward progress over the past several hours, and will
    continue to do so across the discussion area through 13Z. Along
    and west of the front, areas of convection have produced 0.5-1
    inch of rain over the past 3 hours - highest along coastal areas
    between San Francisco and San Luis Obispo within the Santa Lucia
    Range. Minor flooding has also occurred across Alameda County.
    These rainfall rates will continue to spread southeastward in
    tandem with the front, while potentially increasing as depicted by
    CAMs as the rainfall band reaches the Transverse Ranges and
    adjacent areas near Los Angeles Metro through 06-12Z (11p-5a PDT)

    As these rates spread southeastward, they will encounter fresh
    burn scars from recent fires across the region. These and other
    sensitive areas will promote runoff along with the potential for
    flash flooding and debris flows. Models/obs indicate that a 3-5
    hour period of moderate to heavy rain will affect the region, with
    peak flash flood risk potential occurring in the 08Z-12Z (1a-5a
    PDT) timeframe around the Los Angeles metro and adjacent areas of
    the Tranverse Ranges. The risk will peak farther southeast toward
    San Diego and adjacent mountainous areas in the 12-14Z (5a-7a PDT)
    timeframe. Storm totals of 1-2 inches are expected (locally
    higher in terrain-favored areas), and peak hourly rain rates
    should mostly remain in the 0.5-0.75 inch range, locally higher.

    Areas affected...northeastern Mississippi and northwestern Alabama

    Concerning...Heavy rainfall...Flash flooding possible

    Valid 150822Z - 151122Z

    Summary...Localized 1.5-2.5 inch/hr rain rates should continue for
    the next couple hours or so. Convective evolution thereafter is a
    bit uncertain. Isolated flash flooding is possible.

    Discussion...A dominant, right-moving supercell has persisted for
    several hours while reaching Itawamba County, Mississippi near the
    MS/AL border. This supercell has maintained broad rotation within
    a moist and strongly sheared airmass. Convection immediately
    upstream (along and north of its gust front) has enabled a
    scenario for localized training and rain rates approaching 2
    inches/hr from near Okolona, MS northeastward to near Fulton, MS.

    As his lead supercell progresses into Alabama, increasing
    convective coverage has materalized upstream in areas near Tupelo,
    Columbus, and Greenwood. The cells are embedded within strong,
    broadly confluent 850mb flow exceeding 45 knots areawide, which
    continues to maintain moist/unstable thermodynamic profiles in the
    immediate wake of the supercell. It appears that this confluent
    low-level jet structure should be maintained for mutliple hours
    this morning despite 1) departing forcing for ascent with a
    mid-level vort max moving away toward the upper Midwest and 2)
    renewed mid-level troughing across Texas that should result in a
    gradual backing of 850mb flow.

    The ongoing supercell along the MS/AL border should eventually
    weaken as it reaches less stable air especially across north-central/northeastern Alabama. Upstream convection, however,
    should continue to support localized runoff issues as 1-hour FFG
    thresholds (in the 1.5-2 inch range) are approached by localized repeating/training cells across the discussion are through the
    morning - especially in areas that have already had rainfall.=20
    Isolated flooding is possible, although this event appears to be
    perhaps the beginning of a more synoptically evident flash flood
    event expected to unfold later today/tonight.

    will likely pose a flash flooding threat through the morning with
    rates locally exceeding 2 inches per hour. Flash flooding is
    likely.

    DISCUSSION...A very dynamic scenario is unfolding across
    northwestern Mississippi this morning as a stationary upper level
    boundary acts as a forcing mechanism for storms that are already
    forming. Low level SSE flow is advecting plentiful Gulf moisture
    characterized by dew points near 70 degrees and SBCAPE values over
    2,000 J/kg into the region. At 850mb, a south-southwesterly LLJ
    has strengthened to near 50 kts, which will keep a steady supply
    of moisture advecting into the front. Meanwhile a potent shortwave
    across northeast Texas is approaching the region, which will add
    even more forcing. This will both strengthen the storms training
    along the front and broaden the precipitation shield over the
    area, meaning many areas will not see a break in the rainfall.

    1-hr FFGs in this region are generally between 1.5 and 2.5 inches,
    which will both come down with the early morning convection
    already breaking out, and with the later additional forcing will
    support even stronger convection capable of rates exceeding 2
    inches per hour. This will support widely scattered to numerous
    instances of flash flooding across this region. Despite recent dry
    weather, the long-duration of the training convection across this
    region should easily overcome these FFG values. While each
    individual cell will move rather rapidly to the northeast across
    this area, the high likelihood that multiple cells producing heavy
    rainfall will move over any one location under the line of storms
    will compound any flooding and rises in streams and creeks rather
    rapidly.

    Urban flash flooding will be a significant concern as these storms
    set up very near metro Memphis, though likely staying just south
    and east of the city. Expect the southern and eastern suburbs to
    be hard-hit with multiple inches of rain through the morning.

    The line of training storms is likely to remain in roughly the
    same place through the morning based on many of the CAMs guidance
    into the early afternoon until both the upper level shortwave and
    attendant surface cold front push through and shift the storms off
    to the east. This discussion will be updated as the situation
    evolves.

    Areas affected...Northeastern Alabama, Far Northwestern Georgia,
    and Southeastern Tennessee

    Concerning...Heavy rainfall...Flash flooding possible

    Valid 151319Z - 151630Z

    SUMMARY...Training cellular convection over northeastern Alabama
    may cause a localized flash flooding risk as they advect
    northeastward into the Chattanooga Metro.


    DISCUSSION...Cellular convection that has been largely stationary
    across northeastern Alabama this morning has been advecting
    northeastward into the Chattanooga Metro area this morning.
    Southeasterly surface flow characterized by dewpoints in the 50s
    is largely orthogonal to the northeastward moving and oriented
    line of convection. This has been feeding the storms and
    contributing to their persistence. The upper levels feature a
    bifurcated jet streak, with the storms in the middle of the
    bifurcation. It's possible the southern arm is contributing to
    upper level lift being in the divergence region of the jet.

    Much of the CAMs guidance suggests this area of storms will shift
    off to the north and join up with the line of storms well to its
    west over the next few hours. However, that remains to be seen, as
    the forcing would support the storms remaining in place. Following
    a persistence forecast, over the next few hours, heavier cells
    will be moving over the Chattanooga metro, which due to urban and
    terrain concerns poses a higher localized flash flooding risk.
    Most of the instability is west of the storms, with the
    southeasterly inflow not advecting much into the storms. Thus,
    there is some chance the storms fall apart on their own, but as
    that hasn't happened yet, the flash flooding threat will persist
    for the next few hours. At the very least, this offset of
    instability from the inflow should continue to limit the strength
    and maximum rainfall potential of the storms.

    1244 PM EDT Sat Mar 15 2025

    Areas affected...Northern MS...Northwest AL...Western to Middle TN...South-Central KY...

    Concerning...Heavy rainfall...Flash flooding likely

    Valid 151645Z - 152230Z

    SUMMARY...Strong, highly efficient rotating thunderstorms capable
    of 1.5-2"/hr rates likely to train for a hour or so as the line
    slowly advances eastward. Subtle buckles in the QLCS may result
    in further enhanced duration with a spot or two of 4-5" possible.=20
    Rates and totals are likely to result in scattered to numerous
    incidents of flash flooding to accompany severe weather risk.

    DISCUSSION...GOES-E WV suite depicts secondary upper-level low
    deepening across OK/N TX with lower scale shortwave resulting in
    some negative tilting. This results in broadening of dual jet
    structure with very impressive downstream baroclinic shield across
    the Mid-MS Valley into Lower Ohio Valley denoting the very strong
    divergence aloft, especially in proximity to 130kt 250H jet streak
    exiting over N IL into LP of MI. The wedge of diffluence across
    the area of concern will provide strong large scale ascent to
    maintain the well above average low level wind flow; 850mb 50-65kt
    southerly with backed sfc to boundary layer 20+ kt flow pumping
    higher theta-E air across E MS/AL into southern Middle TN with Tds
    increasing from low 60s to upper-60s/low 70s. Mid-level EML has
    been mixing out, but has allowed for increasing unstable air mass
    (2000-2500 MLCAPE) along the sharp pre-frontal pressure trough
    from W TN back to a developing surface wave in NE LA. Overall the
    strength of the low level flow and solid low level moisture (up to
    1.5" TPW) resulting in highly anomalous flux values near 3-3.5 Std
    Dev from normal and generally about 1000+ kg/m/s of IVT.

    As such, very strong, broad and likely rotating updrafts will
    further enhancing localized moisture flux due to isallobaric flow
    but also strong convergence to add about .5"/hr to general
    updrafts. WoFS solutions continue to have many of the runs
    supporting .3-.5"/5 minute rates with this broader cores allowing
    for increased duration and hourly totals of up to 2"/hr. So any
    given storm may overwhelm urban/prone flooding locations even if
    isolated or along/ahead of the main line. The greater concern,
    particularly further north where deeper mean flow will allow for
    more of pivot point to develop for the longer line of cells,
    should increase potential for SW to NE training convection,
    especially near/downstream of the surface wave as it lifts from NE
    LA across central MS to Middle TN.

    Current surface observations and RADAR mosaic suggest a weak
    WAA/isentropic boundary across south-central Middle TN eastward
    toward the southern Cumberland Plateau due to earlier convection.
    WoFS, HRRR and RAP rapidly refreshing guidance all suggest, this
    boundary will maintain with a buckle noted in the SB/MLCAPE fields
    though MUCAPE will support elevated convection downstream across
    northern Middle TN into south-central KY. As such, this
    inflection near the MS/TN/NW AL border continues to be highest
    potential for those longer duration/training events with 4-5"
    totals possible through 22z...slowly lifting northeastward across
    Middle TN into the later evening hours. This also overlaps with
    rainfall reduced FFG values and will likely result in scattered to
    numerous incidents of flash flooding this afternoon into early
    evening. Scattered incidents are likely further north into KY
    where FFG and instability are lower; as well as south into central
    MS where cells will be stronger, but duration is likely to be
    lower and FFGs a bit higher.

    Areas affected...Central and Eastern Indiana into Adj. Northwest
    Ohio...

    Concerning...Heavy rainfall...Flash flooding possible

    Valid 151850Z - 152230Z

    SUMMARY...A very narrow band of thunderstorms ideally oriented to
    the moisture gradient and deep layer steering flow and of
    sufficient length for training to exceed lower FFG values in the
    region suggest an incident or two of localized flash flooding is
    possible.

    DISCUSSION...GOES-E WV overnight into early this morning noted the
    strong cyclone across the Upper Great Lake region resulted in a
    strong, elevated mixed layer (EML) extending well northwest into
    the Ohio River Valley and central Great Lakes region, with
    dust/soil and smoke particulates noted with it in the visible
    imagery. This mixed layer has a surface reflection noted by a
    frontal/dewpoint gradient across central IL into NW IND, with 40s
    quickly becoming upper 50s and mid 60s across central and southern
    IND. Clear skies this morning provided short-duration but ample
    insolation for instability to build with SBCAPEs reaching near
    1000-1500 J/kg mainly along and south of the boundary.

    The WV suite also notes a broadening baroclinic shield of high
    cirrus moving across the area associated with a broadening
    diffluent region across the Ohio River Valley as a 130kt 250mb jet
    streak continues to wrap along the interface of the older cyclone
    and the approaching strengthening one from the Southern Plains.=20
    This has provided strong divergence aloft along the broad right
    entrance region of the jet and in turn lead to the acceleration
    and backing of the low level jet across the TN Valley into the
    region. Southerly winds intersecting with the SW to NE gradient
    within the area of surface based instability provided sufficient
    moisture convergence to generate thunderstorms along and south of
    this axis within the area of deeper surface to boundary layer
    moisture. Initial thinking was the cores of updraft would be
    narrow given limited instability/surface heating. Strong steering
    flow would also result in quicker SSW to NNE cell motion and the
    probability of intersection of narrow updrafts would be limited.=20
    However, recent trends note the stronger heating and moisture flux
    convergence has resulted in slightly broader up/downdrafts while
    also expanding longer along the convergence axis. Combined with
    nearly parallel deeper layer steering and all 3 components are
    start to result in a narrow axis of intense thunderstorms with
    hourly rates of 1-1.5"/hr.=20

    Given the length is about 80 miles, there is solid potential for
    spots of 1.5-2" totals within 1-2 hours. FFG values are already
    low from slower green-up with 1hr values between 1-1.5 and 3hr
    values less than 2" along the training axis. As such, localized
    flash flooding is considered possible, even if only a few
    neighboring watersheds are impacted. The risk for flash flooding
    is likely to be limited in time given quick erosion of remaining
    downstream unstable area and may only exist for a few more hours
    before weakening.=20

    Concerning...Heavy rainfall...Flash flooding possible

    Valid 152045Z - 160230Z

    SUMMARY...Lines of rotating cells are starting to congeal into a
    more single line and starting to advance eastward. Better
    alignment of moisture and instability axis will retain moisture
    flux to support up to 2"/hr rates; however, a more easterly
    component may reduce some training and therefore flash flooding
    will become more scattered in nature over higher FFG.=20

    DISCUSSION...GOES-E WV suite depicts core of negative tilt
    shortwave has swung through Arkansas into the middle MS valley,
    this has resulted in low level veering and alignment of the
    moisture and instability axis across E LA into S MS. Currently,
    merging cells across the best confluence in S MS is resulting in
    higher than average rainfall rates (to other cells) due to
    slightly backed flow downshear of surface low near BTR. Moisture
    flux of 20-25kts of low 70s Tds and 2000-2500 J/kg of MLCAPE will
    maintain strong updrafts and efficient low level moisture flux
    convergence for rates of 2"/hr, perhaps as high as 2.5-3" for very
    short periods when isallobaric flow increases with cycling of updrafts/supercells.=20

    Upper-level flow is starting to increase with overspreading of WSW
    3H jet over 110kts, increasing easterly propagation component to
    the convective line. This will reduce training in the longer
    period, so supercells will continue to remain efficient along the
    line with streets of 2-3" totals possible. Combined with the
    generally higher FFG values across S MS/AL and E LA, flash
    flooding should become more scattered/isolated in nature as the
    line increases forward speed. However, there are numerous prone
    urban centers, particularly along I-10 that may be quickly
    over-whelmed by 1-2" sub-hourly totals if directly impacted by the
    leading broad downdrafts. As such, flash flooding is considered
    possible across the area of concern. An additional MPD will be
    issued subsequent to discuss higher likelihood flooding conditions
    further north.=20=20

    Concerning...Heavy rainfall...Flash flooding likely

    Valid 152130Z - 160315Z

    SUMMARY...Multiple lines of thunderstorms with moderate shield
    precipitation between crossing already saturated/low FFG soil
    conditions, likely to continue flash flooding risk through to
    early overnight period.

    DISCUSSION...A very complex surface pattern exists across the
    middle MS Valley due to the back to back strong upper-level
    shortwaves. This continues through depth with the EML from the
    prior stronger closed low being modified by earlier convection
    this morning across E TN/N MS; while a secondary dry slot is
    starting to manifest across AR in the wake of the secondary
    shortwave now maturing across S MO. As such, surface moisture
    though worked over, remains across E TN/W KY/N MS with TDs still
    in the upper 50s/lower 60s. However, strong LLJ in response to
    the shortwave has allowed for the western branch of low level
    moisture and warming at the boundary layer to wash through and
    with steepening lapse rates from the new EML; an expanding area of
    MUCAPE is developing across NE MS and W Middle TN in the wake of
    the stronger cells further east. As such, there is an expectation
    of the stronger forcing along the cold front and lifting surface
    low across N MS to expand elevated thunderstorms along the leading
    edge further into W Middle TN. MUCAPEs of 500-1000 J/kg will
    increase over the next few hours and feed cells and given strong
    low level moisture flux convergence allow for increasing rainfall
    potential with 1-1.5"/hr rates possible. This is going to fall on
    areas already saturated/flooded by earlier rounds of thunderstorms
    (see below) and likely to exceed the compromised FFG values at or
    below 1.5 at 1-3 hour time periods.

    Ahead of this new development, the initial storms continue to
    press eastward across E Middle TN into the Cumberland Plateau as
    well as extending back as a pre-frontal convective line across N
    AL and NE MS. A broad shield of moderate precipitation is likely
    to continue between these two lines maintaining flooding
    conditions through the late evening/early overnight period.=20=20
    Cells to the east are starting to weaken a bit, with reducing
    lightning mainly has area has only received advected higher
    theta-E air from central AL/NE GA given cloud cover inhibiting
    insolation throughout the day. Still, there is weak but
    sufficient MUCAPEs into E TN and far S KY to maintain some. A
    spot or two of 3-4" remains possible organization over the next
    few hours. Rates of 1-1.5"/hr are probable given the broad,
    strong LLJ pumping 1.5-1.75" TPW (mainly below 700mb) on 50+kts of
    850mb southerly flow/WAA. As such, rainfall pattern will show
    broad area of 2-3" across much of the eastern half of TN and
    northern AL where multiple rounds will cross with embedded
    weakening but intense showers to overtake those lower FFG
    values/saturated soils in the region keeping flash flooding likely
    through much of of the evening into early overnight period; but a
    spot or two of 3-4" may result in considerable or even significant
    flash flooding possible.

    Valid 152315Z - 160915Z

    SUMMARY...Persistent solid, relatively unwavering moist onshore
    flow to bring average .25"/hr & up to .5"/hr rates; resulting in
    localized totals of 4-5" in Coastal Range of SW Oregon and 2-3"
    across lower slopes of southern Oregon Cascades.=20

    DISCUSSION...GOES-W WV suite shows classically anti-cyclonically
    curved strong upper-level jet with axis starting to near the
    Oregon coast in the next hour or so. A highly sheared
    vorticity/shortwave center along the northwest edge of the axis
    will slide northeast into WA and leading nose of enhanced low to
    mid-level moisture plume will reach the south-central to southwest
    Oregon coastline. Winds will veer to SWly and increase from
    40/45kts to 50-60kts by 03z. Visible imagery loop shows moisture
    axis as well defined mid-level clouds with a line of enhanced, but
    still shallow verticality that extends from near the ridge apex at
    126W to 39N136.5W and 35.5N141W aligned with both the enhanced
    moisture and surface to boundary layer convergence/confluence
    axis. Very slow eastward advancement of the axis will retain
    consistency in placement between N Coos to S Curry county in
    Oregon for the next 9-12hrs. IVT values of average of 500 will
    peak toward 750 kg/m/s throughout the late evening into early
    morning hours. Combine this with favored orographic ascent will
    allow for current .15-.25"/hr rates to increase to .33" to
    occasionally .5"/hr rates in the SW OR boreal rain forest for that
    duration.

    This should result in localized 4-5" totals across SW Oregon,
    while downstream, the moisture will be slightly reduced having
    wrung out on the Coastal Range, but rates of .25-.33"/hr across
    the Southern Oregon Cascades may allow for spots of 2-3" totals by
    12z. This will be fairly focused and solid, given the location is
    fairly accepting of these rainfall totals, increased run-off
    should feed rivers but not likely result in rapid
    run-off/inundation. As such, will leave this Atmospheric River as
    Heavy Rainfall tag at this time.

    Areas affected...east-central Alabama into
    west-central/northwestern Georgia

    Concerning...Heavy rainfall...Flash flooding possible

    Valid 160207Z - 160600Z

    Summary...A cluster of intense convection was producing areas of
    1-2.5 inch/hr rain rates just south of the Birmingham Metro area.
    Some concern exists that this activity could persist eastward,
    eventually reaching the Atlanta Metro area through 04Z/midnight
    EDT.

    Discussion...Deep, intense convection has materialized throughout
    a strongly sheared, unstable warm sector across
    central/southwestern Alabama today. More recently, a cluster of
    strong storms (including LEWPs/bows and trailing/training
    convection) has produced a localized area of 1-2.5 inch/hr rain
    rates just south of Birmingham over the past 1-2 hours. These
    rates were approaching FFG thresholds (generally in the 2-inch/hr
    range), and areas of at least minor excessive runoff are apparent
    given MRMS Flash responses across the region.

    Some concern exists that this complex will persist northeastward,
    likely crossing the AL/GA border region by 03Z and reaching
    portions of the Atlanta Metro area through/after 04Z. The extent
    of the flash flood threat may be mitigated by weaker downstream
    instability (upper 50s F surface dewpoints contributing to only
    around 500 J/kg MUCAPE), which could weaken updraft intensity.=20
    However, current convective organization and strong shear should
    maintain heavier downpours downstream into northwestern Georgia
    and result in at least a few areas of 1 inch/hr rainfall rates -
    potentially affecting populated areas such as Atlanta Metro.=20
    Given the scenario, at least an isolated flash flood threat should
    evolve with this convective cluster through 06Z.

    Areas affected...middle/eastern Tennessee into central Kentucky

    Concerning...Heavy rainfall...Flash flooding likely

    Valid 160325Z - 160925Z

    Summary...Flash flood potential continues across large portions of
    Tennessee and Kentucky. This risk should gradually end from west
    to east as a surface trough migrates eastward across the area
    through 09Z.

    Discussion...Widespread heavy rainfall for much of the day has wet
    soils and caused many reports of flash flooding today especially
    across Middle Tennessee. 2-7 inch storm total amounts have
    fallen, and flash flood guidance depicts widespread areas of
    near-zero hourly thresholds from far northwestern Alabama through
    north-central Kentucky at the latest update. Meanwhile,
    widespread rainfall continues to occur. Most of the rainfall is
    light in nature and related to a strong convective MCS centered
    over Alabama. A narrow corridor of stronger convection has
    redeveloped from near Nashville to Huntsville, however, that
    contains areas of 1 inch/hr rain rates at times. This corridor of
    stronger convection likely represents the end of the heavy
    rainfall threat as it shift eastward across the discussion area
    through the early overnight hours as only lighter/isolated shower
    activity is noted to its west.

    Between now and 09Z, another 0.5-1 inch of rainfall can be
    expected areawide (with locally higher amounts). These rainfall
    totals will exacerbate ongoing flooding and perhaps lead to
    additional runoff problems in sensitive areas.

    Areas affected...a small part of southeastern Alabama and
    southwestern Georgia

    Concerning...Heavy rainfall...Flash flooding possible

    Valid 160540Z - 160840Z

    Summary...Localized training of storms on the southwestern flank
    of a linear MCS near Columbus could pose a localized flash flood
    risk over the next couple hours.

    Discussion...Scattered to numerous thunderstorms have grown
    upscale into an extensive linear segment from near La Grange to
    Columbus, GA over the past couple hours. On the southwestern
    flank of this MCS, scattered convection continues to increase in
    coverage and intensity generally in the area of Troy and
    Andalusia, AL. These storms are in a very strongly sheared, moist
    and unstable environment with minimal capping. Additionally,
    surface wind vectors suggest strong, focused convergence along the
    southwestern end of the linear MCS that, when combined with nearly
    2 inch PW values, should support areas of training/backbuilding
    especially within the stronger instability across southeastern
    Alabama. Areas of 2-2.5 inch/hr rain rates have been estimated on
    the southwestern flank of the MCS (southwest of Columbus), and
    short term trends suggest that heavy rainfall should continue in
    this area for at least another couple hours until a surface trough
    (extending along I-65 from Montgomery to Evergreen) translates
    eastward through the area later tonight.

    The mesoscale pattern could support an instance or two of flash
    flooding as rainfall totals approach FFG thresholds (generally in
    the 2.5 inch/hr and 3 inch/3-hr range) over the next couple hours.
    An additional 2-3 inches of rainfall cannot be ruled out in the
    wake of the initial MCS. Weaker surface-based instability over
    Georgia should mitigate the eastward extent of the flash flood
    risk.

    Concerning...Heavy rainfall

    Valid 160849Z - 162049Z

    Summary...Persistent rainfall is expected to continue to pose a
    risk for flooding and localized flash flooding. Another 2-5
    inches of rainfall are possible through at least 21Z today.

    Discussion...The ongoing regime supporting heavy rainfall
    continues, and very little has changed over the past 12 hours.=20
    60-70 knot low to mid-level flow remains oriented perpendicular to
    the Oregon Coast and Cascades, promoting orographic lift and
    continued rainfall amid 500-750 kg/m/s integrated water vapor
    transport values. 0.1-0.3 inch hourly rain rates have persisted,
    resulting in 1-3.5 inch rainfall totals over the past 24 hours -
    highest across southwestern Oregon coastal ranges. This regime
    will continue to persist most of the day, with only a slow
    southward shift in the low/mid-level jet axes and attendant
    precipitation maxima. Another 2-5 inches of rainfall are expected
    areawide - with highest rainfall totals expected across
    southwestern Oregon (coastal ranges in particular). This
    long-duration rainfall event will result in a gradual increase in
    flood potential. Streamflows across the region are already above
    average, further supporting the idea of enhanced/efficient runoff
    with additional rainfall as the day progresses.

    Areas affected...portions of far southeast GA and SC

    Concerning...Heavy rainfall...Flash flooding possible

    Valid 161252Z - 161552Z

    Summary...A training band of heavy rain is expected to continue to
    lead to hourly totals to 3" with storm totals to 5". This could
    lead to flash flooding.

    Discussion...A bow echo along a convective line in central SC
    combined with another mesocyclone near Millen GA have held up
    convection across portions of southeast GA and SC. Hourly rain
    totals to 3" and local amounts of 5" have been indicated by radar
    imagery within this band. Precipitable water values of
    1.50-1.75", MU CAPE of 500-1000 J/kg, effective bulk shear near 50
    kts, and fairly unidrectional flow with height have fostered the
    development of this band.

    The 06z HREF guidance suggests that this band should persist for
    no more than a few hours. For QPF volume, the 00z ARW appears to
    have captured this best, though it's too far northeast with the
    footprint. The mesocyclone near Millen GA should force forward
    propagation of the band later this morning. Until then, expect
    the threat of hourly rain totals to 3" with local amounts to 5"
    being possible across portions of extreme southeast GA and SC.

    Areas affected...Southwest Oregon...Northern California...

    Concerning...Heavy rainfall

    Valid 162045Z - 170730Z

    SUMMARY...Flooding risk reducing as cyclone makes landfall and
    warm conveyor belt presses quickly southward to intersect coastal
    range and northern Sierra Nevada Foothills with heavy rainfall.

    DISCUSSION...Southwest Oregon has been experiencing prolonged
    moderate rainfall for over 24hrs at this point with large areas of
    4"+ totals across much of the area of Coos, Douglas, Josephine and
    northern Jackson counties and spots in the boreal rain forests of
    Curry county in the 8-10" ranges. Longer duration flooding has
    been going in atypical locations with the prolonged heavy
    rainfall. The strong onshore moisture flux will be ending in the
    next hour or so, but a strong surface wave can be seen with a
    secondary one further west along an old occluded front. Steeper
    lapse rates due to CAA aloft and some modest retention of moisture
    along the boundary may allow for some scattered shower activity to
    cross SW OR along the occluded front into the stationary front
    that crosses into central OR. Rates up to .25-.33"/hr are
    possible but will be more scattered in nature and may result in
    those ranges of totals in a sub-hourly manner. This is not likely
    to further contribute to enhanced flooding, but will slow its
    ending for a few more hours.=20=20

    Further south...GOES-W Visible imagery shows the cold front and
    more directed atmospheric river/warm conveyor belt has started a
    southward progression. The core of .75-.9" total PWat continues
    to be advected from strong 40-50kt 850mb winds allowing for IVT
    values to remain at 650-700 kg/m/s near the triple point that is
    near the OR/CA coastline and southeastward. Upper-level
    height-falls will continue to support increasing south and
    eastward propagation of the cold front and therefore
    onshore/upslope moisture flux. Occasional rates of .33-.5"/hr are
    possible especially along the steepest inclines of the northern
    Sierra Nevada foothills, but duration of moderate rainfall is
    likely to be limited to a few hours and likely only result in
    spotty totals of 1.5-3" in traditional locations in Butte, Tamaha
    and Yuba counties. Coastal Ranges are more likely to see
    1.5-2.5", reducing to .75-1.5" by the time the plume further
    weakens (wind speeds down to below 35kts) and IVT values fall
    below 400 kg/m/s...nearing the mouth of San Francisco Bay between
    03-06z. A secondary weaker band of scattered showers will wrap
    around the surface low as it translates east and affects the NW
    California after 00z as well, adding another .5-.75" for the
    totals. Bringing the overall event to close in the early morning
    hours tonight.

    Areas affected...Northeast NC...Southeast VA

    Concerning...Heavy rainfall...Flash flooding possible

    Valid 162200Z - 170400Z

    SUMMARY...Continuation of stronger cells capable of 1.5-2"/hr
    rates with upstream redevelopment probable resulting in possible
    streets of 3"+ totals and localized flash flooding conditions.

    DISCUSSION...RADAR mosaic depicts a cluster of stronger elongated
    updrafts in proximity to the I-95 corridor tracking through an
    area that had already seen an earlier round wetting the grounds
    with spots of .75-1.5" as far north as Petersburg/Wakefield, VA.
    These cells are aided by a divergence maxima rounding the cyclonic
    edge of a fairly laminar upper-level jet. This pattern is
    expected to remain similar with a very slow eastward progression;
    as such, 500-1000 thickness ridge resides along/just east of the
    I-95 corridor and with solid 45-50kts of moist 850mb flow, there
    is ample potential for additional upstream redevelopment.=20=20
    Alignment of the moisture axis and instability axis appears to be
    fairly stable in placement as well with upstream well of 1000-1500
    J/kg of MLCAPE to the west and 1.5 to 1.75" of total PWats
    eastward. Solid deep layer confluence is providing the upstream
    convergence to allow for back-building/redevelopment. However,
    the updraft strength is offset a bit being on the gradient of the
    instability axis, resulting in inconsistent, narrow updrafts but
    stronger cloud base moisture flux allows for efficient loading to
    support 1.5-2"/hr rates. Lengths of the updrafts should allow for
    an hour or so of training for streaks of 1.5" with each
    pulse/round of convection moving northward.

    Stronger convergence along the cold front as the base of the trof
    drifts eastward is likely to occur after sunset and likely spell=20
    the last round, this may be after 04z (the end valid time of this
    message) and trends will need to be continually monitored for
    additional training and longer duration totals of 3-4" when all is
    over earlier tomorrow morning. Area has been fairly dry and FFG
    values are high (especially further east in the Coastal Plain);
    however, given each round slowly infiltrated and saturates the
    upper soils reducing it for the next round. While, an incident or
    two of flash flooding is possible, it is more likely to be

    flooding in urban locations such as Raleigh, Rocky Mount, Emporia,
    Petersburg and the Hampton Roads vicinity of SE VA.=20=20

    Areas affected...Central SC...South-central NC...

    Concerning...Heavy rainfall...Flash flooding possible

    Valid 162245Z - 170400Z

    SUMMARY...Expanding thunderstorms within favorable repeat/training
    environment pose possible isolated incidents of localized flash
    flooding into early overnight period.

    DISCUSSION...Regional RADAR and GOES-E VIS/EIR loops show
    destabilization and convective growth across the Piedmont of
    central SC starting to move into central NC. Clear skies
    throughout the day allowed for increased insolation and temps to
    rise into the upper 70s, low 80s along a tight deep layer moisture
    gradient. However, surface low level confluence with
    southwesterly flow intersecting with SSW 10-15kts of flow backed a
    bit off the coastal Plain is providing sufficient moisture
    convergence given Tds into the low to mid 60s. That flux and
    solid updraft strength is supporting 1.5"/hr rates. Deep layer
    steering does support fast cell motions, however, it is fairly
    ideally aligned with the low-level convergence axis to allow for repeating/training, though slow eastward propagation is expected,
    spots of 2-2.5" totals in 1-2 hours which is close to exceeding
    the FFG values mainly along the Fall-line and the axis of
    saturated soils from this morning's heavy rainfall from Allendale
    county to Orangeburg county to N Dillon county where 1hr FFG
    values are 1.5-2" and 3hr are 1.5-2.5".=20

    There is some uncertainty in potential for favorable back-building
    environment especially toward the GA/SC line. Stronger forcing
    near the southeast base of the rounded upper-level (500 to 300 mb)
    jet should support divergence aloft and weak DPVA to aid low level
    inflow for back-building; however, drier air infiltrating aloft
    also looks to be mixing downward and overall Pwats are decreasing
    upstream suggestive of drier air mixing and increasing eastward
    propagation limiting training/repeating potential.=20

    Areas affected...portions of the Mid-Atlantic

    Concerning...Heavy rainfall...Flash flooding possible

    Valid 170224Z - 170824Z

    Summary...Gradually deepening convection will migrate
    northeastward across the discussion area for the next several
    hours. Rates of 1-2 inches/hr are expected - highest across
    eastern Maryland into the DelMarVa. Isolated flash flooding is
    possible in this regime.

    Discussion...Several atmospheric factors are combining to result
    in increasing convective coverage and heavy rainfall across the
    discussion area, including: 1) convergence along a surface cold
    front extending from Charlottesville, VA to near Lancaster, PA, 2)
    strong low-level flow/warm advection, which was maintaining deeper
    convection near/east of Richmond, VA while also maintaining ~500
    J/kg SBCAPE and 1-1.5 inch PW ahead of the front, 3) advancing
    mid/upper level vorticity (and ascent) from troughing centered
    over the Ohio Valley and central Appalachians.

    As these features continue to evolve slowly eastward over the next
    few hours, axes of heavier rainfall will continue to spread
    east/northeastward along and ahead of the aforementioned cold
    front. Spots of 1 inch/hr rain rates can be expected at times
    nearer the front, while heavier rainfall (including 2-2.5 inch/hr
    rain rates) could occur out ahead of the front as is currently
    being estimated near/east of Richmond, VA. FFGs across the
    discussion area are lowest across the DC-to-Philadelphia I-95
    corridor (0.5-1.0 inch/hr) and these thresholds could be eclipsed
    on an isolated basis over the next 2-4 hours as the front makes
    its way eastward through the region. Heavier rain rates are
    expected east of I-95 toward the DelMarVa, although it appears
    that ground conditions/FFGs are a bit less sensitive in these
    areas, suggestive of more isolated flash flood potential. 2-3
    inch rainfall totals are expected across the DelMarVa through 08Z
    tonight, with lighter totals expected elsewhere.

    Areas affected...northeastern North Carolina into southeastern
    Virginia

    Concerning...Heavy rainfall...Flash flooding likely

    Valid 170444Z - 170900Z

    Summary...Deep convection continues to develop across North
    Carolina and stream north-northeastward into southeastern
    Virginia. 1-2 inch/hr rain rates persist in the strongest
    activity. This regime should continue for at least another 3-4
    hours, posing a continued risk of flash flooding.

    Discussion...Convection has continued to refire along a surface
    trough extending from just east of Richmond, VA to just east of
    Raleigh, NC over the past couple hours. This trough has allowed
    for convective development to remain oriented generally parallel
    to deep south-southwesterly flow aloft, allowing for substantial
    training in a few locales. Additionally, 1.5+ inch PW values and
    500 J/kg SBCAPE supports efficient rainfall processes with the
    ongoing storms. Ascent from upstream mid-level troughing
    continues to result in ascent/height falls over the trough as
    well. These factors support continued, SSW-NNE oriented training
    bands of storms for the next 2-4 hours or so.

    Over time, eastward translation of the surface trough and
    mid-upper forcing will lead to an eventual end of heavy rainfall
    potential - most likely after 08-09Z. Between now and then,
    concern exists that these training convective bands could
    eventually make it in to populated, sensitive areas of
    southeastern Virginia where lower FFGs (around 1 inch/hr) could
    result in a few areas of flash flooding. It is not out of the
    question for rain rates to double those lower values (generally
    extending from near Richmond southeastward through Virginia Beach)
    and lead to locally significant impacts.

    Areas affected...Northwest Washington....

    Concerning...Heavy rainfall

    Valid 231430Z - 240230Z

    SUMMARY...Prolonged onshore moisture flux across Olympics and
    lower Foothills of northern WA Cascades may result in spots of
    3-5" totals, given over .33"/hr average rates. Saturated grounds
    and some snow melt may increase run-off increasing stream flows.

    DISCUSSION...GOES-W WV suite depicts a strong upper-level jet
    across the northeast Pacific/southern Gulf of Alaska crossing
    central BC before extending southeast into the southern Canadian
    Rockies resulting in solid ridging across the Pacific Northwest
    with apex of the ridge just west of the coast. This allows for
    moderate divergence aloft across southwest BC/northern WA which is
    expected to persist through much of the day today allowing for
    solid westerly onshore, ascending flow into this divergent area.=20
    The southern edge of a warm front has reached the NW WA coast and
    is aiding in the ascent/WAA which has started to increase over the
    last hour or so across the Olympics. Additionally, this leading
    pulse has brought increased low to mid-level moisture via a very
    broad atmospheric river plume with sfc-850mb LPW values in the
    .5-.6" range with a dual core 850-700mb flow of .25-.3", though
    the northern plume/fetch is longer more directed toward southern
    Vancouver Island and the NW tip of WA. As a result, 1-1.2" total
    PWats are expected being fluxed with 35kts increasing to 50+kts
    toward 18-21z. Overall IVT values will increase from 400-450
    kg/m/s currently peaking at 650-700 kg/m/s toward 21-00z...then
    leveling out around 500 kg/m/s for the rest of the evening into
    the overnight.=20=20

    The plume's orientation will remain steady through this surge of
    moisture flux and favorably intersect the Olympic range with rates
    of .15"/hr currently to increase to near/just over .5"/hr in the
    best orographic ascent by 18z. The core of the flux will be
    north into southern Vancouver Island, but will then slide toward
    the northern WA Cascades through the late afternoon/early evening
    increasing rates of .25-.33", perhaps occasionally reaching .5"/hr
    at the peaks. The depth of warm air will result in freezing
    levels lifting above all but the highest peaks. This has a
    combination of those high rates but also rain upon snow.=20
    Temperatures are not going to be significantly over freezing, so
    melt may be a bit slow, but will contribute to run-off. Soil
    saturation values are very high (or even 100% due to snow pack),
    so much of the water from rainfall will run-off too increasing
    potential for above average stream flow but not likely to rise
    fast enough for rapid-rise/flash flooding.=20=20

    Areas affected...Western & Middle TN...Northern MS...Northwest
    AL...

    Concerning...Heavy rainfall...Flash flooding possible

    Valid 232205Z - 240400Z

    SUMMARY...Multiple rounds of intense showers/thunderstorms with
    rates of 1-1.5"/hr may allow for a few streets of repeating cells
    and 2-3" localized totals nearing/exceeding FFG values resulting
    in possible widely scattered incidents of low-end flash flooding,
    particularly near urban centers.

    DISCUSSION...GOES-E WV suite depicts a strong, compact short-wave
    across N IL/S WI moving quickly east with a lower-scale
    wave/mid-level trough accelerating eastward into the upper-Ohio
    River Valley. This is accompanied by a strong upper-level jet
    streak that has rounded the base of the main trof with solid right
    entrance ageostrophic response across the lower Ohio Valley
    providing strong divergence along and south into the Tennessee
    River Valley.=20

    Surface and LLJ has responded with increasing Southwesterly flow
    fluxing higher theta-E air northward with Tds into the upper 50s
    and lower 60s. Filtered insolation and mid-level steepening lapse
    rates have made the area modestly unstable with MLCAPE nosing
    across W KY into W TN over 1000-1250 J/kg, along and ahead of
    solid cold front. Additionally, GOES-E Vis and sfc to boundary
    layer streamlines suggest a confluence axis between deeper Gulf
    moisture from the Western Gulf and return from the central/eastern
    Gulf becoming increasingly confluent across central MS to NE MS
    into Middle TN. With conditionally unstable air, this has been
    sufficient to break out weaker but slowly increasing convective
    activity across Middle TN... with some convection/flux convergence
    supporting rates of .5-.75", which is expected to increase over
    the next few hours. Forward propagation is likely to limit
    overall totals with any individual cell, but could be stage
    setting for later development.

    As the line expands, cells will have capability for
    back-building/flanking line development that is probable to align
    with strong/fast steering flow resulting in some accidental
    training. However, further upstream cold front is starting to
    advance with solid 90 degree convergence along the leading edge
    southwesterly LLJ/moisture plume. Cells will expand in coverage
    and width and should be capable of 1-1.5"/hr rates as they
    advance, with similar very fast (40+ kt) forward speed, likely
    limiting overall rainfall totals. Hence, any flash flooding
    potential will require these cells to traverse areas already
    affected by 1-2" totals with earlier rounds. If so, 2-4hr spot
    totals of 2-3" are possible. This is in range of the lower FFG
    values over the TN valley (1.5-2"/hr & 2-3"/3hr). As such, a few
    widely scattered instances of flash flooding are considered
    possible particularly after 00z and in/near urban settings.

    Areas affected...Northern LA...Southern AR...Central MS...

    Concerning...Heavy rainfall...Flash flooding possible

    Valid 232300Z - 240430Z

    SUMMARY...Strong moisture flux convergence with initial convective
    development will allow for very quick moisture loading and strong
    downdrafts capable of quick 2"/hr rates (15-minute totals of
    1-1.5" psbl). As cold front moves east, interaction with older
    warm sector convection may allow for localized repeating/training
    and spot totals of 2-3" in 1-2hrs resulting in possible flash
    flooding.

    DISCUSSION...GOES-E Visible/10.3um and RADAR mosaic denote
    scattered destabilization occurring across the warm sector mainly
    along the Lower Mississippi River Valley at the intersection of
    the nose of instability axis (2500-3000 J/kg) of MLCAPE that
    extends from the Heart of Texas into northeast LA and the nose of
    the deepest sfc to 850mb moisture core (LPW of .8-.9") across
    south-central LA into northeast LA. This boundary layer moisture
    is quickly advancing northward toward a southward pressing/well
    defined (steep isentropes) that is bisecting AR from NE to SW.=20
    These cells are expected to be slower moving but with steering
    more northward toward the frontal zone before effective bulk shear
    increases due to stronger flow aloft across the Delta Region into
    the Bootheel of MO. The collision of the air masses is likely to
    result in rapid convective development along the front from NW MS
    across S AR into N LA and eastern TX mainly in the 01-02z time
    frame. There has been solid signal throughout the day toward this
    time frame, but trend in the HRRR is a bit earlier and more
    focused resulting in very strong moisture flux loading to the
    line. Stronger mid-level dry air will likely aid stronger
    downdrafts due to mixing but given loading is expected to have
    heavy rainfall totals in quick sub-hourly amounts.=20=20

    Experimental HRRR 15-min estimates 1-1.25" at onset around 0130z
    become near 1.75" by 02-03z across N LA. Hourly totals of 2-2.5"
    seem plausible given weaker overall steering before cold
    front/outflow boundaries begin to organize and advance eastward.=20
    While soil moisture is about 45-55% (in all but the braided
    portions of the MS River...65+% there), this is running in the
    10-15th percentile, suggesting upper-soils may initially not allow
    much infiltration). Still, the spotty/smaller areal coverage may
    limit the overall magnitude of flash flooding suggesting highly focused/localized at least initially across S AR/N LA for spotty
    possible flash flooding. It is only later toward 04-06z with
    some organization and potential west to east training that
    localized totals may reach 2-4" through 06z. 18z HREF and recent
    HRRR runs support the best probability to be in proximity to the
    AR/LA/MS intersection and points east-northeastward. Confidence
    is increasing toward possible scattered incidents of flash
    flooding through this time period before cells become too
    scattered/progressive generally after 06z, but will continue to

    Areas affected...northern LA into central MS and western AL

    Concerning...Heavy rainfall...Flash flooding possible

    Valid 240420Z - 241020Z

    Summary...Periods of training thunderstorms may produce areas of
    isolated to widely scattered flash flooding through 10Z across
    portions of northern LA, central MS and western AL. Peak rainfall
    rates between 1-3 in/hr and spotty totals of 2-4 inches are
    expected through 10Z.

    Discussion...04Z regional radar imagery showed a WSW to ENE line
    of thunderstorms that extended from northern LA into northern AL.
    This line formed earlier within an axis of pre-frontal confluence
    and has since become the dominant area of convection across the
    Lower Mississippi Valley. Farther north, closer to the cold front
    itself, were a few scattered thunderstorms, mainly located in TN.
    04Z SPC mesoanalysis data showed the environment from northwestern
    AL to northern LA contained 500 to 1500+ J/kg MLCAPE (highest to
    the west over northern LA) and 1.2 to 1.5 inches of PWAT.

    Expectations are for the line of storms to continue advancing
    southeastward, ahead of the cold front and along the leading edge
    of rain-cooled outflow which has since formed behind the advancing
    line. While storm motion should remain progressive and not pose a
    significant threat for flash flooding, the environment is, and
    will continue to be, capable of producing 0.5 to 1.0 inches of
    rain in 15 minutes given forecasts of lingering instability over
    the next several hours. Where convective orientation matches the
    mean steering flow from the WSW, training will produce 1-2 in/hr
    rates, perhaps exceeding 2 inches in an hour. The result will be
    spotty 2-4 inches of additional rainfall through 10Z, although the
    higher end of that scale is considered a much lower probability of
    occurrence. Given relatively high flash flood guidance values
    (especially over southern portions of the MPD threat area), any
    areas of flash flooding that develop will likely be tied to areas
    of poor drainage, particularly those of urban nature.

    Areas affected...coastal Mississippi, southeastern Louisiana, far
    southwestern Alabama

    Concerning...Heavy rainfall...Flash flooding possible

    Valid 241259Z - 241659Z

    Summary...A couple of linear convective complexes are merging and
    could pose an isolated flash flood threat over the next 2-3 hours
    from New Orleans Metro eastward through Mobile, AL.

    Discussion...Radar mosaic imagery depicts a couple of linear
    convective complexes across the discussion area: 1) extending
    along an east-west axis from near Mobile, AL to just north of
    Baton Rouge, LA that was moving slowly southward and 2) a
    faster-moving complex approaching an axis from Hammond to Morgan
    City, LA. The orientation of these complexes has fostered some
    localized training/repeating, with 1-1.5 inch/hr rain rates noted
    per MRMS on a spotty/localized basis. These rates are generally
    below FFG thresholds, although some concern exists that as the
    convective complexes continue to merge, areas of 1+ inch/hr rain
    rates could materialize across more urbanized areas of the region
    (generally from New Orleans proper to Mobile) and cause
    spotty/isolated flash flooding to materialize. This threat
    appears to be highest along the Mississippi Gulf Coast over the
    next couple hours.

    Both of the linear complexes are progressive enough to suggest
    that most of this morning's isolated flash flood threat should end
    during the 16Z/11am CDT hour.

    Areas affected...Southeast FL

    Concerning...Heavy rainfall...Flash flooding possible

    Valid 251825Z - 260025Z

    SUMMARY...Heavy showers and thunderstorms expanding over southeast
    FL may result in some urban flash flooding over the next few hours.

    DISCUSSION...The latest GOES-E visible satellite imagery in
    conjunction dual-pol radar shows the development and expansion of
    heavy shower and thunderstorm activity over southeast FL, with an
    emphasis on Miami-Dade County. Cooling cloud tops are noted in a
    southwest to northeast fashion from over and west of Homestead and
    stretching northeast into the Miami metropolitan area.

    A combination of a front settling gradually south down the FL
    Peninsula coupled with localized seabreeze convergence near the
    urban corridor will facilitate additional convective development
    this afternoon. A moderately moist and unstable environment is
    already in place with MLCAPE values of 1500+ J/kg and PWs of 1.5+
    inches. This coupled with 30 to 40+ kts of effective bulk shear
    will favor slow-moving and relatively organized convective cells
    capable of producing rainfall rates of 1.5 to 2.5 inches/hour.
    Some localized storm totals going through early this evening of 3
    to 5 inches will be possible.

    While FFGs are very high, these rains are expected to impact
    portions of the highly urbanized/populated urban corridors from
    Homestead northward up to Fort Lauderdale and possible even West
    Palm Beach as the activity further expands in coverage. As a
    result, a concern for urban flash flooding will exist over the
    next several hours.

    Areas affected...south-central OK into northern TX

    Concerning...Heavy rainfall...Flash flooding possible

    Valid 260428Z - 261015Z

    SUMMARY...Repeating and training of thunderstorms from south
    central OK into portions of northern TX may produce localized
    flash flooding later tonight. Potential for 2 to 4 inches along
    with rainfall rates of 1 to 2 in/hr (locally higher) will exist
    through 10Z.

    DISCUSSION...A combination of GOES East infrared satellite and
    regional radar imagery at 04Z showed widely scattered
    thunderstorms from northeast of DAL to south of OKC. Cloud tops
    were generally warming over TX but new development was occurring
    across south-central OK where low to mid-level moisture transport
    was allowing for generally weak instability to build northward
    from the Red River, north of a quasi-stationary front analyzed
    over northern TX. The new development was occurring at the nose of
    a 30-35 kt 850 mb low level jet as sampled by VAD wind data at
    KDYX and KFWS, about 10-15 kt stronger than F000 and F001 hour RAP
    guidance suggests.

    Nocturnal strengthening of the low level jet is expected to
    continue through ~06Z with a max axis between SPS and GYI,
    supporting the overrunning of the quasi-stationary front. A
    relatively small pocket of elevated instability between 500 and
    1500 J/kg is forecast by the RAP to be in place from between I-20
    and I-40 on either side of I-35 over the next several hours, but
    should lower in magnitude toward 12Z.

    Thunderstorms are expected to continue to increase in coverage
    over south-central OK over the next 1-3 hours, with mean steering
    flow aligned roughly parallel to the surface front, repeating
    cells along with instances of training are expected. However, any
    clustering of thunderstorms may result in more of a southward
    propagation of cells into the inflow layer. Sufficient speed shear
    exists for some organized thunderstorms and elements of training
    heavy rainfall could result in rates of 1-2 in/hr, though earlier
    convection near Dallas in southern Collin County was responsible
    for ~1 inch of rain in 15 minutes, so 1-2 inches in less than 1
    hour will certainly be possible tonight. Dry antecedent conditions
    and high flash flood guidance should limit any flash flood
    concerns to urban areas or otherwise sensitive, poorly draining
    locations. 2-4 inches will be possible on a localized basis
    through 10Z.

    Areas affected...South-Central and Deep South TX

    Concerning...Heavy rainfall...Flash flooding possible

    Valid 261715Z - 262315Z

    SUMMARY...Developing and expanding clusters of heavy showers and
    thunderstorms are expected through this afternoon. Very heavy
    rainfall rates and locally slow cell-motions will support an
    increasing flash flood threat.

    DISCUSSION...The midday GOES-E satellite imagery shows a
    well-defined mid-level shortwave trough ejecting east across
    northwest mainland Mexico which will begin to cross the Rio Grande
    Valley by later today. Increasingly divergent flow aloft ahead of
    these height falls along with some smaller scale vort energy will
    be gradually overspreading the lower Rio Grande Valley and
    adjacent areas of south-central TX and will be interacting with an
    increasingly moist and unstable airmass.

    MLCAPE values over much of the region are already locally on the
    order of 1500 to 2000 J/kg, with PWs of 1.5 to 1.75 inches.
    Persistent low-level south-southeast flow will continue to bring
    moisture up across much of southern TX in general going through
    the afternoon hours, and the latest CIRA-ALPW and MIMIC-TPW data
    sets show notable concentrations of deeper and more anomalous
    moisture advecting into the lower Rio Grande Valley ahead of the
    upstream mid-level height falls/shortwave energy.

    This will set the stage for developing and expanding clusters of
    heavy showers and thunderstorms going through the afternoon hours.
    The convective cells in this moistening environment should become
    increasingly efficient and will be capable of producing very high
    rainfall rates considering the level of instability and some
    uptick in updraft helicity parameters.

    The 12Z HREF guidance suggests the stronger and more organized
    convective cells may be capable of producing 2 to 3 inch/hour
    rainfall rates. A combination of multicell and some isolated
    supercell structures are generally expected to evolve over time,
    and some of the cells that become more deeply rooted are expected
    to potentially become very slow-moving with cell-motions a bit to
    the right of the deeper layer mean flow. This will support some
    locally enhanced rainfall totals, with some rainfall totals by
    early this evening of 3 to 5+ inches possible.

    Antecedent conditions are very dry, but with such high rainfall
    rates and potential for slow cell-motions, the threat for flash
    flooding will be increasing with time. Additional MPDs will likely
    be required this evening to further address the excessive rainfall
    threat going into the overnight hours.

    Areas affected...portions of south Texas

    Concerning...Heavy rainfall...Flash flooding likely

    Valid 262318Z - 270518Z

    Summary...Areas of heavy rainfall continue to move slowly across
    the discussion area, with redevelopment of deep/intense convection
    noted along/just west of the Rio Grande recently. Flash flood
    potential (locally significant) should continue through 05Z/11p
    CDT and likely beyond.

    Discussion...Over the past 6 hours, scattered to numerous
    thunderstorm activity has produced areas of 1-5 inch rainfall
    amounts - highest northwest of Corpus Christi and northwest of
    McAllen. Prior dry conditions and high FFGs suggested that these
    rainfall totals have likely resulted only minimal impacts so far,
    though wetting soils should gradually result in the region
    becoming more susceptible to flash flooding as additional rainfall
    develops across the region tonight.

    Meanwhile, radar/satellite mosaic imagery indicates
    redeveloping/strengthening convection along and either side of the
    Rio Grande Valley, with additional strengthening storms located
    just north of Corpus Christi. Wind fields aloft have strengthened
    across the discussion area in tandem with better ascent/lift,
    which is the likely culprit for the recent increase in convective
    coverage. Increased wind shear has enabled a few of the
    convective structures toexhibit right/deviant motion with speeds
    as slow as 5-10 knots and rain rates exceeding 2 inches/hr.

    Over time, concern exists that convection near the Rio Grande
    could grow upscale into one or more convective complexes. These
    complexes will move very slowly while continuing to exhibit
    embedded rotation and occasional cell mergers that should enhance
    rain rates. Localized areas of 3-5 inch rainfall totals are
    expected, and significant flash flooding could become a great
    concern if higher rain rates were to materialize in
    sensitive/urbanized portions of the discussion area.

    A secondary concern for upscale growth/backbuilding exists
    near/just north of Corpus Christi where low-level confluence
    exists on the northern extent of 20-25 kt 850mb flow. A few of
    these areas have already experienced 2-5 inch rainfall totals
    today. Additional rainfall could result in flash flooding
    especially if a more persistent convective band could become
    established.

    Areas affected...Deep South Texas...

    Concerning...Heavy rainfall...Flash flooding possible

    Valid 270515Z - 271100Z

    SUMMARY...Highly uncertain convective environment with ample
    moisture, persistence of moderate to heavy rainfall may result in
    possible localized flash flooding potential through early morning.

    DISCUSSION...A very complex dynamic environment remains across
    much of southern Texas this evening. An elongated mid-level
    trough axis exists generally along 30N with multiple weaker
    vorticity rolls ebbing and shearing with influence of changing
    lower-level moisture/instability field feeding back through
    convective feed-back and latent heat release. WV suite denotes
    favorable right entrance ascent pattern with anticyclonic curved
    transverse banding features moving downstream into E TX/N LA;
    while left exit favorable divergence ascent pattern is expected to
    replace and further support indirect thermal circulation and back
    low level flow from southeast to easterly to strengthen isentropic
    ascent, perhaps triggering additional development as noted west of
    Zapata county along the western moisture gradient at 700-500mb and
    traced well in the CIRA LPW layers. It can be also noted the new
    convection is ascending along the veered sfc to 850mb and then
    further 850mb to 700mb from southeast to south-southwest,
    respectively. Additionally, RADAR and SWIR loop suggest a weak
    MCV from older convection just west of NW Webb county, moving east
    may be affording additional strengthening of the southerly turning
    of the winds.

    Overall, the more southerly flow intersects with the dying
    outflow/convective line across south Texas, that has laid out
    fairly orthogonal to the strengthening low level flow. Cell
    motions will be more northward, though this boundary and the
    effective bulk shear in the 35-40kt range is suggestive of greater
    cell organization for enhancing low level moisture flux into the broadening/rotating updrafts. Rapid refresh models like the
    RAP/HRRR have started a trend toward this convective mode, which
    in turn, trends to increased longevity. Overall deep layer
    moisture remains solid with .75-1", sfc to 850mb LPW values along
    the Lower Rio Grande, over-topped with .4-.6" in 850-700mb, though
    hints of some dry air mixing along that western gradient of dry
    air pressing eastward may result in some entrainment, but should
    also aid in steepening lapse rates for increasing some instability
    for deeper/stronger updrafts, though proximity to modest 700-500mb
    moisture allows for the total column to remain near or slightly
    above 1.75"; higher to the southeast nearer the Gulf source.=20=20
    However, there has been some mixing/overturning from the initial
    convection to leave the instability field more scattered and
    pocketed in nature; likely resulting in some uncertainty on the
    persistent vigor of the updrafts. However, there are remains of
    1500-2000 J/kg of CAPE mainly south of the River, that should
    allow for cells capable of rates over 2"/hr for an hour or so and
    scattered within the area of concern.

    Cell motions will increase potential for flanking line
    development/repeating with a more eastward component for the
    stronger/rotating cells and more north-northeastward for weaker
    ones. As a result the environment for intersection/repeating is
    going into the storm-scale interactions which are notoriously
    difficult to assess/forecast and so confidence is not very high in
    incidents of flash flooding; especially given the area of best
    overlap/signal of heavy rainfall is generally north and across the
    rural and naturally higher FFG values of Zapata,Jim Hogg, Brooks,
    and Kenedy counties. However, proximity of the boundary further
    south may be poorly resolved in the guidance nearer the urban
    areas north of the river, and the earlier rainfall in Starr and S
    Jim Hogg counties may receive an additional 2-4" locally inducing
    flash flooding. All considered, the risk of flash flooding
    remains possible through the early morning hours across Deep south
    Texas.=20=20

    Areas affected...Lower Rio Grande Valley

    Concerning...Heavy rainfall...Flash flooding possible

    Valid 271420Z - 271900Z

    SUMMARY...Some expansion of heavy showers and thunderstorms are
    expected through this morning and into the early afternoon hours.
    Heavy rainfall rates and locally slow cell-motions will foster a
    threat for additional flash flooding concerns.

    DISCUSSION...A mid-level trough continues to gradually advance
    east across the southern High Plains and adjacent areas of
    northern mainland Mexico with multiple embedded vort centers seen
    in GOES-E IR/WV satellite imagery ejecting out of the base of it
    toward the lower Rio Grande Valley.

    Radar imagery shows one band of convection that has slowly
    progressed through Deep South Texas over the last few hours, with
    the core of this activity now situated over far northeast Mexico.
    However, there is redevelopment seen farther northwest to the
    southeast of Laredo involving Zapata, Jim Hogg, and Starr
    Counties. This convection is generally forming along a weak
    instability gradient that is also aligned along an inverted
    surface trough which is gradually attaining sufficient
    baroclinicity to be classified as a weak stationary front.

    Despite rather modest instability parameters with MLCAPE values of
    500 to 1000 J/kg, there will likely be some gradual recovering of
    instability with time across Deep South Texas to the southeast of
    this weak frontal zone which will strengthen the overall
    instability gradient. This coupled with ejecting vort energy and
    the left-exit region of an upper-level jet streak from northern
    Mexico across the lower Rio Grande Valley will likely tend to
    support and sustain the redeveloping areas of convective activity
    with some gradual expansion off to the northeast expected with
    time.

    PWs are generally in the 1.5 to 1.7 inch range across the area,
    and this coupled with the instability should be capable of
    favoring convection with 1 to 2 inch/hour rainfall rates going
    through the morning and early afternoon hours. The latest hires
    CAM guidance is handling the ongoing activity very poorly, so
    confidence is generally quite low, but given the latest convective
    trends, some additional rainfall totals going through early
    afternoon may reach 2 to 4 inches with isolated heavier amounts
    not out of the question given slow cell-motions.

    Given some of the heavier rainfall from overnight and early this
    morning, and thus the moistening up of the soil conditions, these
    additional rains over the next several hours may result in some
    additional flash flooding concerns.

    Areas affected...Deep South TX

    Concerning...Heavy rainfall...Flash flooding likely

    Valid 271857Z - 280057Z

    SUMMARY...A strong and well-organized QLCS gradually settling down
    through Deep South TX will be capable of producing very heavy
    rainfall rates and a general likelihood for flash flooding heading
    into the early evening hours.

    DISCUSSION...GOES-E IR satellite imagery in conjunction with
    dual-pol radar shows a well-defined QLCS gradually settling
    eastward down across Deep South TX. This convective complex is
    being strongly favored by the ejection of left-exit region
    upper-level jet dynamics across the lower Rio Grande Valley
    downstream of a deeper layer trough crossing northern Mexico and
    parts of the southern High Plains.

    This energy is also interacting with a quasi-stationary frontal
    zone and the pooling of a modestly unstable airmass characterized
    by MLCAPE values of near 1000 J/kg. While instability is rather
    modest, there is a rather favorable shear environment for a
    continuation of organized convection over Deep South TX with
    stronger mid-level winds helping to support as much as 40+ kts of
    effective bulk shear. Some additional uptick in diurnal heating
    over the next few hours should support some additional boundary
    layer destabilization and this coupled with a convergent and moist
    low-level south-southeasterly jet of 30 to 40 kts should support
    convection with high rainfall rates capable of reaching 2 to 3
    inches/hour with the stronger storms. In fact, the latest
    CIRA-ALPW data shows a notable surge/wave of higher PWs/moisture
    concentrated in the SFC/850 mb layer lifting northwest out of the
    Bay of Campeche and taking aim on Deep South TX. Speed convergence
    associated with this in conjunction with the implied stronger
    moisture transport will further enhance the rainfall rate
    potential over the next few hours.

    The 12Z HREF guidance along with numerous runs of the HRRR
    continue to struggle with the details and evolution of the ongoing
    convective activity more regionally over southern TX. Accounting
    for the current activity, the HRRR is closest from a convective
    mode/object perspective, but is way too slow with its evolution.
    Basically the HRRR 00Z to 06Z/Fri QPF signal is likely to occur
    more over the next 6-hours based on the latest satellite and radar
    trends.

    High rainfall rates and rather slow cell-motions with the QLCS
    evolution should favor additional rainfall amounts of as much as 3
    to 5 inches, and especially where any transient areas of
    cell-training can occur. Given the wet antecedent conditions from
    earlier heavy rainfall, these additional rains are likely to cause
    additional areas of flash flooding heading into the early evening
    hours, and this will include the Brownsville vicinity.

    Areas affected...south Texas

    Concerning...Heavy rainfall...Flash flooding likely

    Valid 280036Z - 280636Z

    Summary...Locally significant flash flood potential should
    continue through 06Z/1am CDT.

    Discussion...A very slow-moving cluster of deep, intense
    convection continues to make progress across Deep South Texas
    while producing multiple hours of 1-3 inch/hr rain rates. These
    rates have falling in populated areas near McAllen and Harlingen,
    prompting significant impacts.=20

    Radar mosaic imagery indicates the leading edge of a cold pool
    extending from just north of Brownsville west-southwestward along
    and just south of the Rio Grande River. Meanwhile, mesoanalyses
    and satellite imagery indicate renewed convective development
    across portions of northeastern Mexico associated with a mid-level
    shortwave trough centered near 27.3N, 101.4W. Steep lapse rates
    aloft were located just west of the ongoing complex and much of
    northern Mexico as well.

    While the heavy to extreme rain rates currently being observed
    just north of Brownsville may shift offshore over the next couple
    hours, the combination of a trailing/lingering outflow boundary
    near the Rio Grande and upstream ascent/instability from
    aforementioned lapse rates should result in a continued threat of
    at least elevated convection over the next 3-6 hours. The
    heaviest rainfall threat will be modulated by the southward shift
    of the outflow boundary - should this boundary drift back to the
    north into south Texas, a renewed threat for 2+ inch/hr rain rates
    could materialize and raise continued, significant flash flood
    potential. At least areas of 1-2 inch/hr rain rates are expected
    with deep convection given the upstream instability and lift -
    even with elevated convective activity. Ground conditions are
    inundated with significant impacts being reported amid near-zero
    FFGs from Harlingen westward to Rio Grande City. Additional
    rainfall will likely exacerbate those impacts.

    Areas affected...Lower Rio Grande Valley and Lower Texas Gulf
    Coast...

    Concerning...Heavy rainfall...Flash flooding likely

    Valid 280500Z - 281000Z

    SUMMARY...Strong MCV, providing ascent for another round of strong thunderstorms capable of 2"+/hr rates to further compound ongoing
    significant flash flooding across the Rio Grande Valley. Heavy
    rainfall likely to expand northward toward Corpus Christi urban
    areas over the next few hours as well, with possible flash flooding

    DISCUSSION...GOES-E WV shows strong vorticity center/MCV currently
    along the south-southwest side of the larger scale stationary
    upper-level low crossing over the Rio Grande into Webb county.=20
    These height-falls have once again backed the low level flow off
    the very moist/unstable western Gulf that had filtered across
    Tamaulipas and into eastern Nuevo Leon state in Mexico. CIRA LPW
    shows surface to boundary layer moisture nearing 1" fluxed on
    30-35kts toward the flanking line, allowing for increased
    instability of 1000-1500 J/kg (narrow and skinny profiles) while
    this is leading to confluence through the ascent layer in the
    850-500mb layer. CIRA LPW suggests an additional third to half
    inch and quarter to third of an inch in those mid-levels to
    support overall depth of 1.75 to near 2" along the Gulf coast. So
    once again, strong moisture flux convergence aided by unstable air
    has developed into a squall line with cells likely to increase
    from 1.25 to 1.5-2"/hr as the line reaches deeper moisture further
    east. Additionally, the southerly moist flow is expanding
    scattered isentropically forced cells between the exiting
    convective cluster and the approaching line. These more scattered
    cells will be a tad shallower, but with solid flux should be still
    prolific in rainfall capability even if more scattered/random in nature...adding .5-1" prior to the main line. This WAA appears to
    be trending northward toward relatively drier locations and may
    start to stall/flatten to southwest steering as it nears the coast
    across N Kenedy, Kleberg and Nueces county. Spots of 2-3" are
    possible across this northern area that may initiate some
    localized flash flooding concerns, especially near the Corpus
    Christi urban areas that are particularly prone to intense rates.

    Additionally, upper level jet diffluence remains extreme across
    far southeast TX and the lower Rio Grande Valley with 60-70kt
    speed max jet lifting northward across south Texas, while the core
    of the sub-tropical jet streak is fairly flat (west to east)
    across northeast Mexico into the Gulf. This is over 90 degrees of
    diffluence maintaining solid evacuation of convection as it moves
    eastward to areas already flooded. This should also allow for
    slowing of forward propagation as well as with strengthening of
    the low level inflow for flanking line back-building across the
    Lower Rio Grande Valley. Additional 3-5" totals across already
    flooded areas; likely to maintain flash flooding conditions with
    some significant flash flooding/emergency conditions to be
    possible with this next round. Localized totals over 10" are
    likely to become reality across a broader area of lower Rio Grande Valley.=20=20

    While it is hopeful that after this MCV/forcing wave moves
    through, the environment will clear out; however, there remains
    quite a bit of uncertainty, as south-southeasterly flow of the
    western Gulf is likely to be maintained through the peak of the
    diurnal surge after prior to day break (08-10z). Intersection
    with lingering outflow boundaries may still trigger additional
    development, but will update the MPD later this morning to address
    this concern.=20

    Areas affected...Lower Rio Grande Valley of Texas...

    Concerning...Heavy rainfall...Flash flooding likely

    Valid 280915Z - 281400Z

    SUMMARY...A few more hours of showers/thunderstorms repeating
    across already flooded locations. Additional 1-3" totals
    possible, continuing flooding conditions through day break.

    DISCUSSION...GOES-E WV suite depicts core of MCV/vorticity center
    lifting north-northeast across South Texas with a trailing
    shortwave rounding out the bottom of the filling mid to upper
    level trough that has been persistent across central TX over the
    past few days. In the process the progressive squall line has
    moved into the northwest Gulf, but with some weak DPVA upstream,
    low-level winds have returned to south/southeast from the surface
    to boundary layer off the western Gulf. GOES-E 3.9um SWIR loop
    showed low level stratus at the leading edge of the return
    moisture, modest instability field lifted north but along
    weakening winds into the 15-25kts range from 925mb VWP in the
    area. Veered flow across 850-700mb with weak WAA allowed for some
    convection to refocus and build across Hildalgo to W Cameron
    county. Weaker flux of still ample deep layer moisture of 1.75-1.9
    Total PWat and 1000 J/kg, support rates up to 1.5"/hr but given
    the veered steering flow aloft will once again allow for cells to
    train ENE across significantly flooded areas with an additional
    1-3" totals expected, likely to maintain ongoing flooding
    conditions.

    Hi-Res CAMs continue to struggle with the placement and timing of
    the evolution of the convection. However, early HRRR runs showed
    a similar evolution through the Lower Rio Grande Valley but had
    been about 2 to 2.5 hours too slow with the timing of the squall
    line and the ongoing redevelopment. Still, the evolution seems to
    be the best handle on the situation, as such there most recent run
    has backed off a tad, suggesting the convergence and ascent
    pattern may be weakening with greater surface to boundary layer
    winds turning eastward across the Northwest Gulf over the next 3-5
    hours finally giving the area of concern a break from these
    repeated rounds. Given the run to run variability and poor
    performance from other CAMs, not fully confident that additional
    convection may maintain at the trailing edge of the low level
    confluence of the larger cyclonic circulation as it lifts
    northeast across Northeast Texas later this morning as hinted by
    the recent RAP runs.

    Areas affected...Eastern TX...Far Western LA

    Concerning...Heavy rainfall...Flash flooding possible

    Valid 281810Z - 290010Z

    SUMMARY...A localized threat for some flash flooding will exist
    going through the early evening hours from heavy showers and
    thunderstorms that may train over the same location.

    DISCUSSION...The early afternoon GOES-E visible satellite imagery
    shows an increasingly expansive CU/TCU field over eastern TX as
    vigorous mid-level shortwave/vort energy lifting northeastward
    interacts with a surface trough and the pooling of modest boundary
    layer instability. MLCAPE values are on the order of 500 to 1000
    J/kg with a seasonably moist environment characterized by PWs of
    1.5 to 1.75 inches.

    Radar does show a band of showers and thunderstorms organizing in
    a general south to north fashion over far eastern TX, and as
    additional diurnal heating/solar insolation contributions to
    further boundary layer destabilization this afternoon, there
    should be some additional expansion of convection which should
    tend to become locally well-organized given the presence of 30 to
    40+ kts of effective bulk shear. This will include a convective
    threat to the middle and upper TX coast and the greater
    Houston/Galveston metropolitan area.

    The 12Z HREF guidance shows 50 to 70 percent probabilities of 1 to
    2 inch/hour rainfall rates with the storms this afternoon, and
    some localized exceedance of 2 inch/hour rates will be possible
    especially for areas of far eastern TX just west of the LA border
    where the axis of stronger instability and relatively stronger
    surface moisture convergence is expected to be focused.

    Given concerns for some localized cell-training, some storm total
    amounts by 00Z (7PM CDT) may reach as high as 3 to 5 inches. FFG
    values across the region are rather high, but the HREF guidance
    does suggest some low end probabilities of exceedance which
    suggests a localized concern for flash flooding with an emphasis

    405 PM EDT Sat Mar 29 2025

    Areas affected...Southeast LA...Far Southwest MS

    Concerning...Heavy rainfall...Flash flooding possible

    Valid 292005Z - 300005Z

    Summary...Showers and thunderstorms are expanding and intensifying
    over south-central LA. While a fair amount of uncertainty remains,
    training cells with maximum hourly rainfall rates of 2-3"/hour
    will support an increasing flash flood threat (possibly
    significant) this afternoon.

    Discussion...Radar and Day Cloud Phase imagery this afternoon
    continues to depict expanding thunderstorm thunderstorm coverage
    along the Central Gulf Coast. As this activity matures, radar
    estimates hourly rainfall rates of 1.8-2.8"/hour are occurring
    within the most intense cores.

    This uptick in coverage and intensity is likely in response to 1)
    increasing insolation across the region, 2) the approach of an
    offshore MCV, and 3) a broad north-south oriented 850 hPa
    convergence axis. Near the convection, mesoanalysis estimates of
    1500 J/kg MLCAPE (in a saturated and "skinny" profile), PWAT of
    1.6-1.7", and 20 kts of effective bulk shear suggest cells should
    maintain enough organization to realize the moist and unstable
    environment. Over the next several hours, expect areas downstream
    to fill in where cumulus is showing increasing increasing
    development, and train as the slow moving forcing aligns with the
    mean flow.

    With all of this said, there remains a fair amount of uncertainty
    amongst the CAM suite with how the convection evolves through
    tonight. However, through 0z, the 12z HREF suite depits increasing probabilities of 6 hour QPF exceeding the 10 to 100 year ARI,
    generally focused over Southeast LA (45% and 35%, respectively).
    This suggests an increasing threat of flash flooding over the next
    several hours, some of which could be significant -- particularly
    over vulnerable urban areas.

    Areas affected...Far Southern MS...Southwest AL...Far Western FL
    Panhandle

    Concerning...Heavy rainfall...Flash flooding possible

    Valid 301538Z - 301938Z

    SUMMARY...Relatively slow-moving and occasionally backbuilding
    areas of very heavy showers and thunderstorms will pose a
    localized threat of flash flooding going through the early to
    mid-afternoon hours.

    DISCUSSION...GOES-E IR satellite imagery shows a cluster of
    cooling convective cloud tops associated with heavy showers and
    thunderstorms across portions of far southern MS and stretching
    eastward into southwest LA and the western parts of the FL
    Panhandle. The convection which has become rather organized over
    the last hour is mainly associated with a low-level convergence
    axis with proximity of a well-defined instability gradient.

    MLCAPE values of 1000 to 1500 J/kg and PWs of 1.5 to 1.7 inches
    are in place across the area which are contributing to rainfall
    rates reaching upwards of 2 inches/hour with the stronger cells.

    Some localized backbuilding of these cells are noted and
    especially over parts of Harrison and Jackson Counties in southern
    MS. However, stronger convective cells are also slowly evolving
    into areas of southwest AL as well. Given the cooling cloud top
    trends, there should tend to be some persistence of these cells
    over the few hours, and there will be concerns for additional
    backbuilding and/or training of cells in the near-term given the
    deeper layer mean flow.

    The 12Z HREF guidance including some of the recent HRRR guidance
    suggests as much as an additional 3 to 4 inches of rain with
    locally higher amounts. Given ongoing convective trends and
    additional rainfall potential in the near-term, additional
    localized areas of flash flooding will be possible and this will
    include a threat for some urban impacts rather close to the
    Mobile, AL area, and especially areas north and west of here over
    the next couple of hours.

    Areas affected...Far Southern MS...Southwest AL...Western FL
    Panhandle

    Concerning...Heavy rainfall...Flash flooding likely

    Valid 301823Z - 302323Z

    SUMMARY...Very heavy rainfall continues to impact areas of far
    southern MS, southwest AL and the western part of the FL
    Panhandle. Extremely heavy rainfall rates persisting over the
    region with locally backbuilding and training cells will yield
    areas of locally significant/considerable flash flooding over the
    next few hours.

    DISCUSSION...GOES-E IR satellite imagery continues to show a
    cluster of strong cold-topped convection with numerous
    overshooting tops over areas of the central Gulf Coast region
    extending from far southern MS eastward across southwest AL and
    into the western FL Panhandle. The convection continues to be
    anchored along a general north/south convergence axis and within a
    well-defined instability gradient.

    MLCAPE values of 1000 to 1500 J/kg and PWs of 1.5 to 1.75 inches
    are in place across the area which coupled with some occasional
    mesocyclone activity has been yielding extreme rainfall rates of 2
    to 4 inches/hour with the stronger cores. Already there are
    Radar-QPE values across parts of Jackson County of 8 to 10 inches
    where significant backbuilding of convection has occurred.

    Very strong overshooting top activity has yielded some cloud top
    temperatures recently to near -70 C and there has been an overall
    expansion of convection over the last few hours to include more
    areas of southwest AL and the western FL Panhandle. The GOES-E
    visible satellite imagery shows some low-level cloud street
    activity upstream over southeast LA and southern MS as a
    destabilizing boundary layer couples with moist southwest flow.
    This low-level feed of moisture and instability should continue to
    support the downstream convective clusters, with a favorable
    backbuilding environment continuing at least in the short term.

    Additional rainfall totals of 3 to 6+ inches are expected given
    the very high rainfall rates and convective mode going through
    early this evening. The recent HRRR guidance has been supporting
    this, and additional areas of flash flooding are likely which will
    include locally significant/considerable urban flash flooding
    impacts. The Mobile metropolitan area will need to continue to
    closely monitor this activity for enhanced rainfall and flash
    flooding concerns over the next few hours.

    TN...Northern MS...Northwest AL...

    Concerning...Heavy rainfall...Flash flooding possible

    Valid 310230Z - 310800Z

    SUMMARY...QLCS starting to have bowing segments that will result
    in a few streaks of enhanced moisture convergence and increased
    heavy rainfall duration resulting in streaks of 2-4" totals and
    possible localized flash flooding.

    DISCUSSION...Regional RADAR mosaic denotes solid and broadening
    squall line across central KY angling back across W TN into far
    northeast AR. Maturing bowing segments are starting to arch out
    with meso-low/inflections noted in the north near Henry county, N
    KY and Christian/Tocd counties in S KY and generally flattening
    near the tail of sufficient deeper layer convergence/mid-level
    forcing from the exiting shortwave across central IND. Modestly
    broad wedge axis of unstable air remains in place along/ahead of
    the line with 500 along the Ohio River back to 2000 J/kg MLCAPE
    across N MS/W TN attm. Moisture is not particularly deep, through
    the layer, but the strength of flux on 40kts of confluent boundary
    layer to 850mb flow has resulted in 1.25-1.5" total PWat values.=20
    Given the strength of the convergence both in speed and direction
    through depth intersecting with outflow boundaries will support
    solid rates of 1.5-2"/hr with bulk falling in initial 15 minutes
    (HRRR and WoFS sub-hourly rates suggesting 1.25/15 minutes with
    .35-.5"/5 minutes rates, respectively).

    While the broad post-squall shield precipitation is increasing,
    especially further north toward better divergence aloft, overall
    totals are likely to be around that 1.5-2" range, which remains
    slightly below even 1hr FFG values across KY (which are higher
    south). However, given these bowing segments and embedded
    inflections are helping to back sfc to boundary layer flow with
    oriented outflow boundaries, orthogonal to the flow, isentropic
    ascent will increase downstream and increase duration in proximity
    of these inflections, allowing for localized 2-3" streaks to form
    along the QLCS, as well as the tail end cells where forward
    steering flow is weaker across W TN/N MS. WoFS 90th percentile
    have some suggestions of totals nearing 4" across N Middle TN,
    which seems plausible. Still 3hr totals of 3" would pose possible
    flash flooding even into the southern portion of the MPD area of
    concern (though 3+ to 4" would make it more probable). As such,
    most locations will not see flooding concerns, but there is enough
    of a signal and trends to suggest a few streaks will result in
    flash flooding through early morning.=20

    Areas affected...Eastern Texas...Western Louisiana...

    Concerning...Heavy rainfall...Flash flooding possible

    Valid 310320Z - 310900Z

    SUMMARY...A favorable back-building environment/slow cell
    propagation will give way to broader warm advection off the
    western Gulf resulting in expanding convective cluster into the
    middle overnight period. Rates of 2-2.5"/hr and spots of 3-4"
    totals across recently saturated grounds pose possible localized
    flash flooding to continue through early morning.=20

    DISCUSSION...03z Surface analysis depicts a well defined front
    stretching from the Delta region of E AR across toward Texarkana
    before sagging south across central TX. A pool of enhanced low
    level moisture exists through the Sabine River Valley nosing
    toward the frontal zone with Tds in the lower 70s and some return
    moisture off the western Gulf supporting 1.5-1.75" total PWats.=20
    Aloft, GOES-E WV suite denotes a 3H 90kt speed max tracking across
    OK before cyclonically curling northeast across AR/S MO; while the
    sub-tropical jet axis dives south across the Rio Grande and
    southern TX, providing a strong divergence pattern aloft. This
    combination of factors has resulted in a few thunderstorms near a
    weak surface to boundary layer low near TYR. While winds are
    weak, boundary layer inflow is out of the W and SW per upstream
    VWP noting solid inflow and ability of convection to backbuild
    over the last hour or so. This is noted well in the cycling
    overshooting tops in 10.3um EIR as well, limiting forward
    propagation of the heavy rainfall cores. While dry/cooler air
    aloft is supporting hail generation, there is ample moisture flux
    to support 2"/hr rates; and localized spots of 2-4" are already
    starting to be estimated. While not particularly confident due
    to edge of the convective domain, recent WoFS solutions suggest
    back-building cells may even be capable of 4-6" totals per 50th to
    90th percentile totals.=20

    The favorable divergence should be slackening over the next 3-5hrs
    to reduce this potential back-building. However, this will come
    with the diurnal increase in southwesterly flow off the western
    Gulf with increased warm-advection after 06-07z. Combined with
    eastward approach of stronger shortwave/general height-falls,
    convective over-turning is expected further south and east.=20
    Moisture flux convergence into the cells will be prolific with
    Pwats nearing 2.0" and confluent 25-30kt 850mb flow will support
    2-2.5"/hr rates. Slow forward propagation is expected allowing
    for spot totals of 3-4". Overall, the area has been quite
    saturated with 0-40cm percentiles over 85% per NASA SPoRT and
    saturation ratios of 65-80% across the area of concern/convective
    development. As such, spots of flash flooding are likewise
    considered possible through early morning across W and SW LA.

    Valid 310710Z - 311200Z

    SUMMARY...Favorable training profile for strong thunderstorms
    capable of 2"+/hr rates. Localized totals of 2-4" in 2-3hrs pose
    possible localized flash flooding over the next few hours.

    DISCUSSION...GOES-E 10.3um and regional RADAR mosaic has shown
    consistent strong development that has maintained itself across S
    AR, starting to spread downstream into NW MS, with additional
    upstream overshooting tops breaking through the cirrus canopy over north-central LA. GOES-E WV and AMV suite shows a strong speed
    max starting to round the southeast quadrant of a larger scale
    trof through the Ozarks providing solid divergence aloft. RAP
    forecasts are expected for the jet to further enhance the
    downstream right entrance region across the central MS Valley
    maintaining solid divergence across the lower Delta Region into N
    MS over the next few hours. At the surface, a slowly forming
    surface low along a stalled portion of the main front has locally
    backed surface to boundary layer flow tapping enhanced moisture
    and unstable airmass out of the MS Valley. Tds in the low 70s and
    MLCAPE to 1500 J/kg combined with the convergence downstream of
    the surface low will maintain inflow/flux convergence to further
    expand convective development over the next few hours. Veering
    mid-level flow above the boundary layer is also providing
    850-700mb moisture flux from a pool of enhanced moisture upstream
    to increase rainfall efficiency and likely limit cold pool
    development.

    Deep layer steering is also generally parallel to the boundary to
    support moderately lengthy axis for training over the next few
    hours. As such, a streak of enhanced rainfall with 2-4" totals
    should extend from S AR into northern MS. This aligns with a
    localized minimum in FFG values along the river and northeastward
    where 1/3hr FFG values of 1.5-2" & 2-3" have a solid potential of
    been exceeded in spots along the training axis. In the longer
    term maintenance of the line of convection will be determined on
    upstream development over central LA and points south. If
    clusters develop, inflow/flux of moisture/unstable air is likely
    to be disrupted, but until then there is a good possibility of an
    incident or two of localized flash flooding through early morning.

    Areas affected...Southern LA...Far Southeast TX...Southwest MS...

    Concerning...Heavy rainfall...Flash flooding possible

    Valid 310830Z - 311400Z

    SUMMARY...Merging clusters with quick 2-3" totals and intersection
    with recently flooded/nearly saturated soils pose localized
    scattered incidents of possible flash flooding/rapid inundation
    through Monday morning.

    DISCUSSION...Regional RADAR mosaic shows a mature cluster to wedge
    of thunderstorms across the northern Piney Woods of E TX into
    north-central LA starting to become increasingly progressive
    toward the southeast given strengthening cold pool from earlier
    storms as well as height-falls/shortwave trough passing across the
    area currently. Additionally, diurnally driven onshore
    flow/strengthening of the western Gulf low-level jet has recently
    lead to broad WAA isentropic ascent from the Sabine River eastward
    into SW LA. Deep layer moisture and confluent low-level flow
    accelerating into the approaching line of convection will result
    in very strong moisture flux convergence and cell mergers over the
    next few hours. Given total PWats of 1.75" and doubling within
    the low-level column should increase efficiency to support rates
    of 2-2.5"/hr with perhaps an isolated 3"/hr rate total.=20
    Southeastward propagation should limit duration, but widely
    scattered spots of 2-3" totals are likely to occur.

    The random scattered may overlap with recently flooded locations
    over the last few days and may reaggravate flooding given limited
    infiltration expected. NASA SPoRT 0-40cm soil saturation are well
    above average (into the 90th percentiles) with ratios above
    70-75%. Additionally, the high rates should traverse a few prone
    cities of Baton Rouge, Lafayette, and eventually New Orleans and Biloxi/Gulfport toward 14-15z posing urban rapid inundation
    flooding possible as well.

    Areas affected...Northern Mid-Atlantic and Northeast

    Concerning...Heavy rainfall...Flash flooding possible

    Valid 312154Z - 010354Z

    Summary...Repeating of cells containing hourly rainfall rates of
    1.5-2"/hour at times could support a few instances of flash
    flooding this afternoon and evening, mainly over urbanized areas.=20


    Discussion...Radar and Day Cloud Phase imagery show convective
    initiation is well underway over portions of the northern
    Mid-Atlantic and Northeast ahead of a lee-side trough and cold
    front. Recent mesoanalysis estimates suggest modest MLCAPE values
    of 500-1000 J/kg and 35-45 kts of effective bulk shear have
    materialized in the pre-frontal airmass to support increasing
    organization as this activity matures.

    Over the next few hours, expect thunderstorm coverage to continue
    expanding along the lee trough, and beneath increasing
    right-entrance region forcing overspreading the region. While
    individual cell motions will be progressive (40-45 kts), effective
    shear vectors oriented parallel to the lee-trough and front will
    support repeating of individual cells as the activity grows
    upscale. Eventually, this repeating should be interrupted as cold
    pools congeal and the activity begins to accelerate eastward
    tonight. Before then, however, the repeating nature of these cells
    containing rainfall rates upwards of 1.5-2"/hour could lead to a
    few instances of flash flooding. Through 3z, HREF neighborhood
    probabilities depict a high (40-80%) chance of at least 2" of
    rainfall across the highlighted area, with an embedded 25-30%
    chance of at least 3" also noted just north of Philadelphia. While
    the area has been quite dry as of late, the this output suggests a
    few instances of flash flooding could result this afternoon,
    especially given the urban footprint of the region.

    Areas affected...northeastern KS into MO River Valley

    Concerning...Heavy rainfall...Flash flooding possible

    Valid 020126Z - 020725Z

    Summary...Training of cells from SW to NE may result in localized
    flash flooding from portions of northeastern KS into the middle MO
    River Valley. Rainfall rates of 1-2 in/hr within areas of training
    will be common and there will be potential for 2-4 inches through
    07Z.

    Discussion...Regional radar imagery has shown an increase over the
    past 1-2 hours in the number of showers/thunderstorms over the
    central Plains, out ahead of a deepening surface low located
    between RSL and K82 at 01Z. An already strong 850 mb low level jet
    of 40-50 kt was observed over central KS/OK with rapid low level
    moisture transport underway into the central Plains, resulting in
    a 500 to 1000 J/kg MUCAPE increase over southeastern NE into
    eastern KS since 22Z (via SPC mesoanalysis). 00Z blended TPW
    imagery showed modest moisture over KS/NE with PW values of 0.7 to
    0.9 inches, but these values are likely to continue increasing
    through the early overnight with the continued advection of
    moisture.

    850 mb winds are forecast to notably strengthen through 06Z over
    OK/KS to over 70 kt locally, yielding increasing MUCAPE along and
    west of the Missouri River, with 1000-2000 J/kg becoming common by
    04-06Z via recent RAP forecasts. Increasing ascent ahead of an
    approaching shortwave trough near the Four Corners region will be
    accompanied by strengthening diffluence and divergence aloft as a
    powerful jet stream rounds the base of the trough and ejects out
    into the central Plains through 06Z. Convection is expected to
    rapidly expand in intensity over central to northeastern KS over
    the next 1-2 hours.

    In addition, strengthening low level convergence at the nose of
    the low level jet is expected to set up over northeastern KS from
    SW to NE (consistent RAP signal in 925-850 mb layer), oriented
    nearly parallel to the expected mean steering flow of individual
    cells, supporting the potential for training. Rainfall rates of
    1-2 in/hr will be likely within areas of training and localized
    2-4 inch totals through 07Z may support isolated flash flooding.

    The HRRR has been persistent in forecasting locations from near
    Salina to the MO/NE border for heavy rain. The 00Z WoFS guidance
    also indicates these same locations with 40-60 percent
    probabilities of exceeding 2" through 06Z. However, dry antecedent
    conditions will likely limit flash flood coverage to urban
    locations or otherwise locally sensitive terrain.

    Areas affected...Northeast KS...Northwest MO...Far Southeast
    NEB...Far Southwest IA...

    Concerning...Heavy rainfall...Flash flooding possible

    Valid 020630Z - 021200Z

    SUMMARY...A few more hours of training thunderstorms capable of
    1.5-1.75"/hr rates and localized totals of 3"+ continuing flash
    flooding risk. However, veering flow will result in increasing
    forward cell motions limiting overall totals and flooding risk
    eastward into N MO.

    DISCUSSION...Surface and RAP analysis fields show maturing surface
    to 850mb low across south-central NEB continuing to pivot slowly
    with expanding warm sector across eastern KS, spreading into
    western MO. Pressure falls have been backing warm sector flow/LLJ
    proving solid moisture and unstable air advection toward the
    frontal zone. Isentropic ascent has been redeveloping
    thunderstorms along a WSW to ENE line from Salina to Manhattan
    toward St. Joseph. The prolonged isentropic ascent from low level
    moisture convergence from the warm sector has resulted in
    saturating the deep profile for rainfall rates to reach 1.75-2"/hr
    over the last few hours resulting in a streak of 2-4" totals and
    long swath of MRMS FLASH unit stream flows reaching 400 cfs/sqmi
    from central KS into NE KS. While the warm sector remains
    unstable with MLCAPEs of 2000 J/kg, the upper-level shortwave axis
    is swinging from weak positive to neutral transferring
    cyclogenesis further southwest along the cold front and resulting
    in increasing height-falls. As such, LLJ is starting to veer
    slightly as the initial surface wave matures/occludes over the
    next 2-3 hours reducing orthogonal upglide. As the cold front
    advances eastward, there will be increasing convective development
    southward with increased forward propagation, reducing duration of
    heavy rainfall and capability of saturating the deeper layer
    profile.=20

    As a result, the best training will still occur across NE KS into
    far NW MO with rates of 1.5-1.75"/hr totals expected. Spots
    already receiving 1-2" may still reach 3"+ totals. FFG values
    decrease steadily east and north with 1.5"/1hr and 2-2.5"/3hrs are
    still in the realm of being exceeded in the shorter term though
    likely decreasing steadily further eastward into south-central
    IA/north-central MO. Strong up/downdrafts capable of a quick
    1-1.5" sub-hourly total are still within a low possibility of
    inducing some flooding concerns especially near urban centers and
    traditionally prone flooding areas, but the progressive nature
    should limit it to those locations only through the morning.=20=20=20

    Areas affected...northern AR into southeastern MO, southern IL and
    western IN

    Concerning...Heavy rainfall...Flash flooding likely

    Valid 021952Z - 030100Z

    Summary...Areas of training are likely to develop across portions
    of northern AR into southeastern MO, southern IL and western IN
    over the next few hours as an axis of thunderstorms builds north
    and slowly translates eastward. Localized 2-4 inch totals are
    expected (locally higher).

    Discussion...Numerous thunderstorms were ongoing at 1945Z from the
    southern OK/AR border into and across the Ozarks, just ahead of an
    outflow reinforced cold front. Strong southerly 850 mb winds of
    50-60 kt were in place from the lower MS Valley into the lower OH
    Valley ahead of a longwave upper trough anchored over the western
    U.S., aiding the northward transport of moisture/instability into
    the Midwest.

    As one shortwave lobe over MN continues to lift north this
    evening, weak mid-level height falls over the middle to upper MS
    Valley will transition to near neutral height falls down across
    the Mid-South as shortwave ridging was evident in water vapor
    imagery over KS/OK. This large scale pattern will likely result in
    only slow eastward movement to the boundary from southern MO into
    western AR. Largely unidirectional flow from the SW in place ahead
    of the cold front/outflow will promote short term areas of
    training along with repeating cells. Strong low level flow
    overrunning convective induced outflow will allow for the
    continued regeneration of thunderstorms and rainfall rates of 1-2
    in/hr (locally higher). A few locations within areas of training
    could see 2-4 inches of rain (locally higher) through 01Z with at
    least isolated to widely scattered areas of flash flooding
    becoming likely.

    Areas affected...ArkLaTex into mid-MS Valley

    Concerning...Heavy rainfall...Flash flooding likely

    Valid 022244Z - 030400Z

    SUMMARY...There are growing concerns for an axis of heavy
    rain/flash flooding to develop from near the ArkLaTex into western
    TN/KY through 04Z. Peak rain rates of 2-3 in/hr will be likely
    within axes of training, most likely across AR to the MS River.

    DISCUSSION...22Z surface radar imagery and surface observations
    depicted an elongated axis of thunderstorms stretching from
    southwestern IL into southwestern AR. A cold front/outflow
    boundary combination was located at the leading edge of the
    thunderstorms and visible satellite/radar imagery showed cloud
    streets and developing thunderstorms feeding into AR from the
    south within 50-60 kt of flow at 850 mb (per area VAD wind plots).
    The environment ahead of the cold front was moderately unstable
    and very moist with MLCAPE of 2000 to 3000+ J/kg and PWATs of 1.7
    to 1.9 inches per a special 20Z SHV sounding and 22Z SPC
    mesoanalysis data.

    Due to a lack of height falls over the Mid-South, south of an
    advancing mid-level shortwave over the upper MS Valley, the
    outflow (effective cold front) is forecast to steadily advance
    eastward into the lower OH Valley over the next 3-6 hours, while
    the southern end of the boundary stalls across the ArkLaTex. The
    resultant orientation should align with the mean steering flow
    from SW to NE. As robust low level moisture transport and
    pre-frontal cells intersect the boundary, coverage of
    thunderstorms should increase from near the ArkLaTex into eastern
    AR and eventually into western TN/KY over the next several hours.
    Areas of training will have the potential to produce 2-3 in/hr
    rainfall rates and depending on the persistence of training over
    any given location, some higher end rainfall totals (4+ inches)
    could materialize.

    Flash flooding appears likely within this setup and should overlap
    of training occur with any urban centers, locally significant
    flash flooding could occur.

    Areas affected...Lower OH Valley into IN, western OH into
    southeastern MI

    Concerning...Heavy rainfall...Flash flooding possible

    Valid 022358Z - 030555Z

    SUMMARY...Areas of training are expected to shift into much of IN
    and portions of southeastern MI/western OH through 06Z. Rainfall
    rates of 1-2 in/hr will be possible within areas of training and
    flash flooding will be possible. However, by 06Z or so, rainfall
    intensity is expected to decrease as instability lowers,
    especially for northern locations.

    DISCUSSION...2330Z radar imagery showed that a pre-frontal axis of
    convection extended from far southwestern MI into southeastern MO,
    with embedded mesoscale vortices/bowing segments, but with an
    overall movement toward the east. The environment along and ahead
    of the elongated line of thunderstorms contained 500 to 1500+ J/kg
    MLCAPE and anomalous PWATs at or above the climatological max for
    early April via SPC sounding climatology. In addition to
    increasing upper jet induced divergence aloft, continued low level
    moisture advection within 50-60 kt of 850 mb flow has allowed
    instability to increase over the past few hours, and as a result,
    convective organization has increased over eastern IL into
    northwestern IN since 21Z/22Z. There have been occasional
    instances of training where line orientation has matched the mean
    steering flow, supporting hourly rainfall of 1.0 to 1.5 inches
    over IL into northwestern IN.

    Recent runs of the RAP suggest that CAPE values over IL/IN are
    near their peak for the evening/night and over the next several
    hours, a general downward trend in CAPE is expected with the onset
    of nocturnal cooling, not including minor increases in instability
    over southeastern MI and western OH due to low level moisture
    advection. As the cold front/outflow boundary continues to advance
    east, the ongoing axis of thunderstorms will follow with a general
    progressive movement but there will be embedded areas of training
    as different embedded speeds within the line setup short term
    areas of training. The threat for short term training will
    translate into much of IN and portions of southeastern MI and
    western OH over the next few hours, but with an expectation for
    weakening rainfall intensity toward 06Z as instability fades.

    Areas affected...Mid-South into the TN Valley

    Concerning...Heavy rainfall...Flash flooding likely

    Valid 030530Z - 031130Z

    Summary...Continued scattered to numerous flash flooding with
    rebuilding and backbuilding convection resulting in additional
    2-5" localized totals.

    Discussion...A large line of thunderstorms (QLCS) extends from the
    Lower Great Lakes and OH Valley to the Ark-La-Tex, and the segment
    of the line across West/Middle TN into north MS continues to stall
    with favorable conditions for backbuilding in the near term.
    Ongoing deep convection continues to produce rainfall rates of up
    to 1-2"/hr with ample upper-level divergence in the vicinity of
    the right-entrance region of a large upper-level jet streak. The
    mesoscale environment from north MS to West/Middle TN is
    characterized by SB CAPE of 750-1500 J/kg, precipitable water
    values of 1.3-1.7 inches (near the max moving average, per BNA
    sounding climatology), and effective bulk shear of 55-65 kts. With
    the stalling of the QLCS in this extraordinary environment, given
    a 40-50 kt low-level jet ushering in continued strong moisture
    transport and resulting deep layer moisture flux convergence,
    renewed convection with heavy rainfall is expected.

    Looking at a consensus of the latest hi-res models, an additional
    2-5" of rainfall appears likely across portions of north MS into
    West/Middle TN. While the bulk of this rainfall is expected over
    areas that have received little to no rainfall so far, some
    portions of West TN have already received some heavy rainfall (up
    to 1-3"). Given the current presentation of radar (with impress
    discrete cell signatures reforming in the MS Delta), models may be underestimating the intensity and persistence of cells which may
    backbuild farther north into northeast AR and far West TN.
    Continued scattered to numerous areas of flash flooding are
    likely, and some flooding may become significant in urban areas
    where cells effectively backbuild.

    Areas affected...Mid-South

    Concerning...Heavy rainfall...Flash flooding likely

    Valid 031105Z - 031705Z

    SUMMARY...Additional repeating rounds of heavy showers and
    thunderstorms going through midday will continue to favor a
    regional threat of flash flooding across the Mid-South.

    DISCUSSION...Early morning GOES-E IR satellite imagery shows an
    axis of heavy showers and thunderstorms tending to repeat/train
    over the same locations across portions of the Mid-South as a
    moist and unstable airmass continues to lift north from the Gulf
    Coast region.

    A moderately buoyant airmass is noted in particular from southeast
    AR through northern MS and into a small portion of middle TN with
    MLCAPE values of 1000 to 2000 J/kg. Areas off to the northeast
    here going up into southeast KY are more stable by comparison with
    CAPE values generally under 1000 J/kg. Area VWP data though shows
    an impressive southerly low-level jet reaching on the order of 40
    to 50+ kts and this is yielding sustainably strong moisture
    transport.

    The combination of this moisture and instability in conjunction
    with a well-defined convectively enhanced surface boundary and
    divergent flow aloft should favor sustainable clusters of
    convection this morning which will tend to be aligned with the
    deeper layer mean flow and thus will promote convective cells repeating/training over the same area.

    The thermodynamic environment will promote rainfall rates with the
    stronger convective cores reaching 1 to 2 inches/hour and
    especially considering the level of shear (effective bulk shear of
    50+ kts) which will favor pockets of strong and organized
    updrafts. The PWs are generally on the order of 1.5 to 1.6 and
    this will support these high rainfall rates as well and especially
    with the strength of the low-level jet.

    Additional rainfall totals going through midday should reach on
    the order of 2 to 4 inches with isolated heavier amounts possible.
    The heaviest of these rains this morning should tend to be over
    central and eastern AR through northwest MS and the western half
    of TN where there is better pooling of instability. Flash flooding
    is already occurring over many of these areas, and additional
    flash flooding is expected through midday.

    Areas affected...Northern TX...Southeast OK...Western/Central AR

    Concerning...Heavy rainfall...Flash flooding likely

    Valid 031148Z - 031748Z

    SUMMARY...Expanding clusters of heavy showers and thunderstorms
    wil tend to further organize this morning and should favor at
    least some scattered areas of flash flooding, including an urban
    flash flood concern.

    DISCUSSION...A deep layer trough over the Four Corners region
    continues to channel a strong upper-level jet along with embedded
    vort energy out across the southern Plains and toward the broader
    lower MS Valley region. This energy is interacting this morning
    with a moist and unstable southerly low-level jet of 30 to 40+ kts
    across areas of northern TX and southeast OK which is yielding
    several clusters of organized and very cold-topped convective
    clusters.

    A substantial amount of the convection is elevated in nature to
    the north of a quasi-stationary front, and generally rooted within
    a corridor of MUCAPE values of 1000 to 2000 J/kg. However, notably
    higher instability parameters are seen farther south and east into
    the warm sector south of the front. This instability coupled with
    the moist low-level jet and strong vertical shear is promoting
    high rainfall rates and especially with several severe-mode
    supercell structures that are evolving across northern TX to the
    west of the Dallas-Fort Worth metropolitan area and also locally
    across southeast OK.

    Strong upper-level jet energy crossing the southern Plains over
    the next several hours will provide an expansive area of deeper
    layer ascent and shear that will combine with the favorable
    thermodynamic environment for sustinable and well-organized
    convective clusters. Heavy rainfall is expected locally, and the
    rainfall rates are expected to reach 1.5 to 2.5 inches/hour with
    the stronger cells.

    Some occasional cell-merger activity and localized cell-training
    will be possible, and rainfall totals going through midday may
    reach an additional 3 to 4+ inches. These rains will be falling
    locally on some areas that saw heavy rain yesterday including
    parts of northeast TX, southeast OK and western/central AR.
    Therefore, with relatively moist antecedent conditions in place
    here and additional rains likely to arrive this morning, some
    scattered areas of flash flooding are generally likely. Adjacent
    areas of northern TX are a bit more conditionl with the flash
    flood threat, but there will be concern for urban flooding impacts
    should these stronger storms impact some of the larger
    metropolitan areas.

    Areas affected...Mid-South into the OH Valley

    Concerning...Heavy rainfall...Flash flooding likely

    Valid 031707Z - 032307Z

    SUMMARY...There will be increasing concerns through the afternoon
    and early evening hours for increasingly significant and
    life-threatening flash flooding from repeating rounds of heavy
    showers and thunderstorms.

    DISCUSSION...The early afternoon GOES-E IR satellite imagery in
    conjunction with radar shows an extensive axis of heavy shower and
    thunderstorm activity becoming a bit better organized and aligned
    in a southwest to northeast fashion from central AR northeastward
    through western TN and into areas of southern KY.

    Compared to earlier this morning, the overall convective
    orientation has been tending to gain some latitude as subtle
    mid-level height rises over the Southeast U.S. becomes more
    apparent and fosters a stronger poleward transport of warm air
    advection and moisture transport ahead of the deeper layer
    troughing over the central and southern Rockies. The airmass south
    of a well-defined frontal boundary over the Mid-South has become
    moderate to strongly unstable with MLCAPE values of 1500 to 2500
    J/kg and remains quite moist with a southerly low-level jet of 30
    to 40+ kts. The latest CIRA-ALPW data shows a substantial pooling
    of moisture in the SFC/700mb layer with notably strong
    concentrations noted from southern AR through northern MS.

    The concern going through the afternoon and early evening hours
    will be the gradual expansion and organized nature of heavy shower
    and thunderstorm activity over areas that have already seen heavy
    rainfall and flash flooding over the last 12 to 24 hours.
    Streamflows across the region continue to increase and with
    locally saturated soil conditions in place, the additional
    rainfall signal that is coming out of the 12Z HREF guidance
    suggests a growing concern for high-impact flash flooding.

    Rainfall rates are expected to increase to as much as 1.5 to 2.5
    inches/hour with the stronger storms, and especially over areas of central/eastern AR, northwest MS, and western TN where the
    instability nosing over the aforementioned front is a bit
    stronger. By early this evening, some additional rainfall totals
    of as much as 3 to 5 inches will be possible. Flash flooding is
    already ongoing across areas of western and middle TN, and with
    the additional rains, significant and life-threatening impacts are
    expected to gradually occur.

    Areas affected...Arklatex into the Mid-South

    Concerning...Heavy rainfall...Flash flooding likely

    Valid 031800Z - 040000Z

    SUMMARY...Heavy showers and thunderstorms should tend to expand in
    coverage this afternoon and become locally concentrated over parts
    of the Arklatex region and into the adjacent areas of the
    Mid-South. Areas of flash flooding are likely, and locally
    significant impacts will be possible.

    DISCUSSION...A deep layer trough over the Four Corners region
    continues to channel a strong upper-level jet along with embedded
    vort energy out across the southern Plains and toward the broader
    lower MS Valley region. Early morning convective clusters have
    advanced well off to the east-northeast, but the upstream energy
    this afternoon will be continuing to interact with a moist and
    increasingly unstable airmass pooled across eastern TX and through
    the lower MS Valley in close proximity to a frontal zone. The
    result will be redeveloping and expanding coverage of heavy
    showers and thunderstorms.

    The latest surface analysis shows a wave of low pressure lifting
    through northeast TX which will be gradually lifting off to the
    east-northeast over the next several hours along the
    aforementioned front. A southerly low-level jet of 40 to 50 kts
    will be in place ahead of this low center, and there will be a
    corridor of strong low-level moisture convergence that will
    facilitate upscale growth of convection that will likely become
    locally concentrated and focused by later this afternoon. Strong
    instability near and south of the front with MLCAPE values of 2000
    to 3000 J/kg and rather strong shear parameters will also be key
    ingredients for organized convection.

    Recent runs of the HRRR guidance along with the 12Z NSSL-MPAS
    guidance suggests areas of far northeast TX and southern AR will
    tend to be the primary focus for heavy rainfall going through
    early this evening, with convection potentially also training over
    the same area. Rainfall rates with the stronger storms may reach
    as high as 2.5 inches/hour. Some of these rains though will also
    be advancing into downstream areas of the Mid-South currently
    covered by MPD #111.

    Some additional storm totals by early this evening may reach as
    high as 3 to 5 inches, and especially where any cell-training
    occurs. Given the wet antecedent conditions overall and additional
    totals, flash flooding is likely, and there may be some locally
    significant impacts which will include an enhanced urban flash
    flood concern.

    Areas affected...lower/middle MS Valley into OH Valley

    Concerning...Heavy rainfall...Flash flooding likely

    Valid 032323Z - 040500Z

    SUMMARY...Additional rainfall of 1 to 3 inches over the next 6
    hours is expected to continue areas of flash flooding from the
    lower/middle MS Valley into the OH River Valley. Peak rainfall
    rates of 1 to 1.5 in/hr (locally up to 2 in/hr possible) are
    likely at times which will overlap, at least partially, with areas
    that have ongoing flooding from heavy rainfall over the past 24
    hours.

    DISCUSSION...Regional radar imagery at 23Z showed scattered
    thunderstorms over TN/KY, mostly north of a stationary front
    analyzed from northwestern MS into Middle TN and eastern KY. A
    greater coverage of thunderstorms was noted back to the west over
    AR and southeastern MO, having originated back near the ArkLaTex
    around 19Z. It appears the clusters of storms over AR/MO were
    located ahead of a subtle low to mid-level shortwave, just nosing
    into southwestern AR at 21Z, best identified in LPW imagery in the
    850-700 mb and 700-500 mb layers.

    The low to mid-level shortwave is likely to track northeastward
    within southwest flow, allowing thunderstorms to spread
    northeastward from AR/MO into the OH Valley overnight. Southerly
    850 mb winds of 40-50 kt are forecast to overspread
    western/northern TN into KY as the shortwave feature moves east,
    maintaining an overrunning component of the stationary
    front/outflow boundary combination over TN/KY. Elements of
    training will be possible and sufficient elevated instability will
    exist to support rainfall rates of 1 to 1.5 in/hr (locally up to 2
    in/hr possible) within axes of training that develop.

    The result will be an additional 1 to 2 inches (perhaps as high as
    3" in isolated spots) through 05Z, resulting in continued areas of
    flash flooding. It seems the bulk of the heavy rainfall threat
    over the next 6 hours will fall north of the axis of heaviest
    rainfall that fell over the past 24 hours, but some overlap along
    the northern edges (northwestern TN into western/central KY) will
    likely occur. These additional rains will exacerbate ongoing
    flooding that is occurring across numerous locations of the MS
    Valley into TN and KY.

    Areas affected...ArkLaTex into central/eastern AR

    Concerning...Heavy rainfall...Flash flooding possible

    Valid 040014Z - 040500Z

    SUMMARY...While near term flash flooding appears likely over the
    next 1-2 hours from central to eastern AR, uncertainty remains
    back toward the southwest in the vicinity of the ArkLaTex. There
    is some potential for thunderstorms to develop in this region and
    track northeastward into areas of AR over the next few hours,
    reinvigorating a threat for flash flooding across the region.

    DISCUSSION...00Z radar imagery showed scattered thunderstorms over
    central and eastern AR, advancing toward the northeast with little
    in the way of redevelopment back to the southwest. The activity
    was occurring north of a well-defined stationary front that
    extended SW across southern AR into northeastern TX.

    Rainfall rates of 1 to perhaps 2 in/hr will remain possible,
    maintaining the flash flood threat over central/eastern AR for
    another 2 hours or so. This activity is occurring ahead of a low
    to mid-level shortwave noted in LPW imagery with drying in the
    850-700 mb layer in its wake.

    While some weak subsidence is likely occurring in the wake of the
    convective activity moving through AR, moderately strong and
    uninhibited MLCAPE of 2000 to 3000+ J/kg was estimated just south
    of the stationary front over eastern TX into northern LA (via SPC
    mesoanalysis data from 00Z). A forcing mechanism is uncertain
    however and 850 mb winds are forecast by the RAP to weaken from
    their present 30-40 kt to 20-30 kt through 06Z and some weak
    subsidence is likely occurring over the region in the wake of the aforementioned shortwave. Nonetheless, the environment is quite
    unstable and sufficiently moist to support thunderstorms with
    potential for heavy rain.

    Should convection initiate in the next 1-2 hours, there will be
    potential for rainfall rates of 1-2 in/hr, with storm movement
    toward the northeast into portions of the region that have been
    hit with heavy rain over the past 24-48 hours, possibly reigniting
    a threat for flash flooding. However, the threat appears to be
    lowering given the near onset of nocturnal cooling at the surface
    and lack of visible triggers.

    Areas affected...Mid-South to the OH/TN Valleys

    Concerning...Heavy rainfall...Flash flooding likely

    Valid 040515Z - 041115Z

    Summary...Continued heavy rainfall with rates up to 1.5"/hr will
    lead to additional 6-hour totals of 2-5". Scattered to numerous
    instances of flash flooding are likely.

    Discussion...Clusters of convection continue to slowly backbuild
    across portions of the Lower MS Valley, mainly over the Ozarks and
    Delta of AR, arcing northeastward into the OH/TN Valleys with the
    deep layer flow. A broad low-level jet (35-55 kts at 850 mb) is
    providing seemingly unending strong moisture transport into a
    narrow, clearly defined axis of overrunning/frontogenesis (also
    ideally in the right-entrance region of a 140+ kt jet streak over
    southeastern Canada). The mesoscale environment is characterized
    by MU CAPE of 250-1000 J/kg, precipitable water values of 1.3-1.6
    inches (near the max moving average, per BNA sounding
    climatology), and deep layer (0-6 km) shear of 60-80 kts.

    Northeasterly deep layer flow will support a relatively narrow
    axis of repeating heavy rainfall over the next 6 hours, with a
    consensus of hi-res CAMs (00z HREF suite) suggesting additional
    localized totals of 2-4" (with rates generally capped at 1.5"/hr
    due to instability being somewhat limited). This heavy rainfall is
    expected to occur over areas that have already seen as much as
    3-7" of rainfall over the past 24 hours (per NSSL estimates).
    Given all of the recent heavy rainfall, it will not take much
    additional rainfall to cause continued or renewed flooding, as
    Flash Flood Guidance (FFG) is indicated to be 1.0" or less for the
    bulk of the region. With hi-res models (00z HREF) indicating
    relatively high odds for localized 2" exceedance (40-km
    neighborhood probabilities of 20-50%), scattered to numerous
    instances of flash flooding are considered likely. Should these
    2-5" streaks of rainfall occur over particularly sensitive
    terrain, flooding may be locally significant.=20=20

    Areas affected...Portions of the Ohio Valley and Central
    Appalachians

    Concerning...Heavy rainfall...Flash flooding likely

    Valid 041103Z - 041530Z

    SUMMARY...Widespread areas of areal flooding and flash flooding
    will continue through the early to mid-morning hours with locally
    considerable impacts as additional rounds of heavy showers and
    thunderstorms arrive. Some improvement expected by late morning.

    DISCUSSION...The early-morning GOES-E IR satellite imagery along
    with dual-pol radar shows an extensive axis of cold-topped
    convection associated with heavy showers and thunderstorms
    impacting large areas of Kentucky with an eastward extension of
    this down into areas of western and southern West Virginia. The
    convection continues to be supported by a south-southwest
    low-level jet of 30 to 40+ kts with a nose of modest instability
    characterized by MUCAPE values of as much as 500 to 1000 J/kg.

    A somewhat complicated frontal structure is in place as well with
    a surface frontal boundary situated across middle Tennessee and
    into the central Appalachians with an inverted trough back to the
    northwest of this over Kentucky that is more reflective of a
    rather strong 850/925 mb front. The convergence along this feature
    coupled with strong warm air advection and moisture transport over
    the surface boundary is contributing to the extensive axis of
    convection that still currently remains in place.

    PWs across the region are generally on the order of 1.5 to 1.7
    inches which is running about 2 standard deviations above normal
    for this time of the year, and this continues to favor heavy
    rainfall rates with aid from the low-level jet. Some rainfall
    rates with the current activity continue to be upwards of 1 to 2
    inches/hour, with some of the heaviest rates seen over central and
    southern Kentucky and coinciding with the colder convective tops.

    A series of very low-amplitude vort impulses embedded within the
    stronger deeper layer west-southwest mid-level flow will tend to
    support some sustenance of the convection at least for the next 2
    to 3 hours, but the 06Z HREF guidance generally suggests an
    overall weakening trend of the convection by later this morning as
    this energy advances downstream and away from the region.
    Additional rainfall amounts of 1 to 3 inches can be expected prior
    to this.

    Regardless, extremely sensitive soil conditions along with high
    streamflows will support generally any additional rainfall going
    right into runoff, with areal flooding and flash flooding likely
    to continue this morning which will include locally considerable
    impacts on the ground.
