   ...16z Update...   
      
   Minimal adjustments to the ERO areas with this update, as the   
   inherited Slight Risk area is still positioned well within the   
   consensus of the 12z CAMs 3"+ QPF signal (40-70% odds per latest   
   40-km neighborhood 3" exceedance HREF probabilities). While this is   
   also the higher confidence corridor for localized 5"+ amounts (per   
   both the 12z HREF PMM and 10-20% probs for 5" exceedance), there   
   are indications of a secondary training corridor by some of the=20   
   CAMs (mainly the ARW and ARW2) across portions of North TX into the   
   ArkLaTex (20-30% and 5-15% for 3" and 5" exceedance, respectively).   
   While this area remains more of a conditional flash flood threat   
   (dependent on west-to-east training convection along the quasi-   
   stationary boundary with weak forcing), the Marginal Risk was=20

   ...Previous Discussion...   
      
   A large mid/upper trough over the southwestern U.S. will take on a   
   negative tilt while moving slowly eastward toward the southern   
   Rockies through 12Z Thursday. As this occurs, abundant Gulf   
   moisture will be drawn northwestward across much of central and   
   southeastern Texas. Low-level trajectories indicating upslope into   
   higher terrain of northern Mexican provinces and areas of 1000-1500   
   J/kg SBCAPE are supportive of scattered thunderstorms developing   
   over northern Coahuila and the general vicinity of Del Rio/Eagle   
   Pass. CAMs depict a concerning signal for training in this region   
   as cells both 1) migrate northeastward beneath southwesterly   
   steering flow aloft while 2) redeveloping upstream closer to higher   
   terrain. A narrow corridor of 1-3 inch rainfall totals could   
   develop in these areas. Ultimately, local convective evolution will   
   determine the degree of training and length of heavier rain rates   
   in this area. Slight Risk and attendant probabilities are   
   maintained for this forecast as there is some lingering uncertainty   
   regarding specific location of this axis of heavier rain. However,   
   PW values approaching 1.5 and slow right-moving motions with any   
   cells that can acquire mature cold pools/updraft rotation may   
   force a locally significant flash flood threat occurring during the   
   overnight and early morning Thursday. Convective/rainfall trends   
   will be monitored for any enhanced training that would necessitate   
   a Moderate Risk upgrade.   
      
   Farther northeast, models depict deep convection in a more   
   scattered fashion toward Dallas/Fort Worth and into northeast Texas   
   (and perhaps western Arkansas). While thermodynamic profiles will   
   gradually become more supportive of heavy rainfall, weak forcing   
   (with the mid/upper wave well west of the region), weak/non-   
   existent low-level convergence, and subtle ridging aloft just east   
   of the region casts some doubt on convective coverage and   
   resultant flash flood risk. A Marginal Risk remains in place for   
   locally training storms, although this risk appears to be quite   
   conditional.   
      
   Across Arizona and New Mexico, deep southerly flow aloft will allow   
   for scattered shower and thunderstorm activity to drift northward   
   through much of the day. An uptick in convective coverage is   
   expected during peak heating hours, with isolated/localized flash   
   flood potential existing across any low-lying, sensitive, and/or   
   urban areas. Heavy rainfall (exceeding 1 inch) is expected to occur   
   on a relatively localized basis. Later in the forecast period   
   (between 00Z-12Z Thursday), models depict potential for heavier   
   rainfall to develop in a few locales across southern New Mexico   
   near several active burn scars. Isolated flash flooding could   
   occur near these burn scars.

   ...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF EXCESSIVE RAINFALL OVER PORTIONS OF THE   
   SOUTHERN PLAINS INTO ARKANSAS/MISSOURI...   
      
   ...Southern Plains...   
      
   The environment continues to becomes more supportive of storms   
   capable of producing heavy to potentially excessive rainfall as the   
   flow aloft backs over portions of Texas and Oklahoma and becomes   
   increasingly diffluent as an upper trough approaches the region. At   
   lower levels...an airmass with precipitable water values gets   
   drawn northward an converges along a surface front over parts of   
   Texas and Oklahoma. Excessive rainfall is possible by means of   
   intense rainfall rates by individual storms in regions with the   
   highest amount of instability (presumably ahead of the approaching   
   cold front) and by training of cells/multiple rounds of convection   
   (more of a factor where synoptic scale forcing and mesoscale   
   forcing act in tandem farther north). The axis of highest   
   precipitable water values... 1.5-1.75"... sets up over the eastern   
   half of Texas into southeastern-most Oklahoma and into Arkansas.   
   Those values are well above average for mid-November. Localized   
   rainfall amounts up to 2.5" in an hour with additional local totals   
   of 5" possible within this set up which would result in scattered   
   instances of flash flooding.   
      
   ...California...   
      
   Maintained a Marginal Risk area from continuity for portions of   
   coastal Southern California as the next area of low pressure over   
   the eastern North Pacific drops southward off the California coast   
   and brings another round of rainfall Thursday into early Friday.   
   Rainfall amounts at this point look to be pretty modest but the   
   rain will be falling on areas where antecedent conditions have   
   been wet for the better part of 5 or 6 days. That may result in   
   additional localized flooding on Thursday or Thursday night.

   ...THERE IS A MARGINAL RISK OF EXCESSIVE RAINFALL OVER PORTIONS OF   
   THE OHIO VALLEY AND PORTIONS OF THE SOUTHWEST US...   
      
   ...Ohio Valley...   
      
   Rain will be spreading northward and eastward from the Plains on   
   Day 2 into the Ohio Valley on Friday and Friday night in   
   association with the surface low coming out of the mid-Mississippi   
   Valley. Between above normal levels of moisture being transported   
   into the region from the south and flow aloft becoming confluent...   
   there is still the possibility for isolated downpours that lead to   
   spotty problems from run-off despite the set up becoming less=20
