|    HVYRAIN: Excessive Rainfall Discussion    |

      TZUTC: 0000       MSGID: 166829.weather@1:2320/105 2d85a7d4       PID: Synchronet 3.21a-Linux master/123f2d28a Jul 12 2025 GCC 12.2.0       TID: SBBSecho 3.28-Linux master/123f2d28a Jul 12 2025 GCC 12.2.0       BBSID: CAPCITY2       CHRS: ASCII 1       FORMAT: flowed       FOUS30 KWBC 191545       QPFERD              Excessive Rainfall Discussion       NWS Weather Prediction Center College Park MD       1045 AM EST Wed Nov 19 2025              Day 1       Valid 16Z Wed Nov 19 2025 - 12Z Thu Nov 20 2025              ...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF EXCESSIVE RAINFALL OVER PORTIONS OF       SOUTH-CENTRAL TEXAS, THE CONCHO VALLEY, AND TEXAS HILL COUNTRY...              ...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       expanded more into the ArkLaTex to account for the latest QPF=20       spread in the 12z guidance (with the bulk of the QPF still expected       late in the period for both regions).=20              Maintained the Marginal Risk elsewhere (Southwest U.S.) where=20       longer duration rainfall (with instability being the main limiting=20       factor for convection and higher rainfall rates) could result in       localized flood impacts for sensitive areas.=20              Churchill                     ...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.              Cook                     Day 2       Valid 12Z Thu Nov 20 2025 - 12Z Fri Nov 21 2025              ...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.              Bann                     Day 3       Valid 12Z Fri Nov 21 2025 - 12Z Sat Nov 22 2025              ...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       favorable with time.=20              ...Southwest US...=20              A mid- and upper-level trough with an embedded closed low will=20       continue to drop southward on Friday...with an embedded closed low       expected near the US border with Mexico by 00Z on Saturday. Showers       and embedded thunderstorms should be developing in the highly=20       diffluent flow to the east of the trough where precipitable water=20       values approaching an inch rotate into southern California and=20       western Arizona. Opted to remain at a Marginal threshold given the=20       timing of the best upper support but a Slight may still be needed.              Bann                     Day 1 threat area: https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://www.wpc.ncep.noaa.go=       v/qpf/94epoints.txt__;!!DZ3fjg!5adORgYPKl1k5XagsBfxxoYYj_MG7S8q3HA_M8-tYwGP=       qdFqS-V5fNLiY0kOz-FHFHSkTghhmIVzOQ61SzbZ71mM3kQ$=20       Day 2 threat area: https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://www.wpc.ncep.noaa.go=       v/qpf/98epoints.txt__;!!DZ3fjg!5adORgYPKl1k5XagsBfxxoYYj_MG7S8q3HA_M8-tYwGP=       qdFqS-V5fNLiY0kOz-FHFHSkTghhmIVzOQ61SzbZXT9biWs$=20       Day 3 threat area: https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://www.wpc.ncep.noaa.go=       v/qpf/99epoints.txt__;!!DZ3fjg!5adORgYPKl1k5XagsBfxxoYYj_MG7S8q3HA_M8-tYwGP=       qdFqS-V5fNLiY0kOz-FHFHSkTghhmIVzOQ61SzbZyJDTs3o$=20              =3D =3D =3D       To unsubscribe from WX-STORM and you already have a login, go to       https://lists.illinois.edu and use the "Unsubscribe" link.
