MESOSCALE PRECIPITATION DISCUSSION 0081 NWS WEATHER PREDICTION CENTER COLLEGE PARK MD 1014 PM EDT WED MAR 28 2018 AREAS AFFECTED...COASTAL AND SERN TX...NRN AND CTRL LA...CTRL MS CONCERNING...HEAVY RAINFALL...FLASH FLOODING LIKELY VALID 290213Z - 290800Z SUMMARY...FLASH FLOODING WILL BECOME INCREASINGLY LIKELY ALONG PORTIONS OF THE WESTERN GULF COAST AS HEAVY RAIN SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS BECOME MORE NUMEROUS OVER THE NEXT SEVERAL HOURS. RAIN RATES SHOULD AROUND OR JUST ABOVE 2 IN/HR. PERSISTENT HEAVY RAIN RATES SUCH AS THOSE IN URBAN AREAS COULD LEAD TO MORE SIGNIFICANT FLASH FLOODING. DISCUSSION...NUMERICAL MODELS AND SATELLITE AND RADAR TRENDS INDICATE THAT GREATER CONVECTIVE COVERAGE IS LIKELY TO EMERGE IN THE 02-05Z TIME FRAME...PARTICULARLY FROM SOUTHEAST TEXAS INTO SOUTHWEST LOUISIANA. GOES-EAST WATER VAPOR SHOWED A STRONG SHORTWAVE IN WEST TEXAS...GRADUALLY MOVING EAST AND WITH BLOSSOMING CONVECTION OUT AHEAD OF IT. IR SATELLITE CHANNELS SHOWED COOLING CLOUD TOPS ACROSS MUCH OF THE REGION...EVEN AS FAR WEST AS SAN ANTONIO...WITH A CORRESPONDING INCREASE IN OBSERVED LIGHTNING. THIS FITS WITH THE OBJECTIVE RAP FORECASTS OF INCREASING UPPER LEVEL DIVERGENCE (IN THE RIGHT ENTRANCE REGION OF AN UPPER LEVEL JET STREAK) AND PVA AHEAD OF THE APPROACHING SHORTWAVE. AS CONVECTION BECOMES MORE WIDESPREAD...THE POTENTIAL FOR GREATER RESIDENCE TIME OF HEAVY RAINFALL AT ANY ONE LOCATION WILL INCREASE...PARTICULARLY WHERE LOW-LEVEL CONVERGENCE IS MAXIMIZED AND CAN FOCUS RENEWED CELL GROWTH IN MOIST UNSTABLE INFLOW. MORE SUBSTANTIAL BOUNDARY LAYER CONVECTIVE FOCI APPEAR MOST LIKELY IN COASTAL SOUTHEAST TEXAS. RECENT RAP FORECASTS SHOW A STRONG BOUNDARY LAYER MOISTURE CONVERGENCE SIGNATURE THAT PERSISTS FOR SEVERAL HOURS. THIS WOULD FIT WITH A SLOWLY ADVANCING COLD FRONT INTO INCREASING LOW-LEVEL INFLOW AS A NOCTURNAL INCREASE OF THE LLJ COMMENCES ALONG THE TEXAS COAST. FURTHERMORE...THERE IS A WELL-ESTABLISHED COLD POOL WITH A SOUTHWARD EXTENT (UPSHEAR FLANK) SITUATED FROM NEAR HOUSTON METRO INTO SOUTHWEST LOUISIANA. SURFACE TEMPERATURES NORTH OF THIS BOUNDARY WERE IN THE LOW 60S AT 01Z...WHILE AREAS TO THE SOUTH WERE IN THE MID-70S WITH DEWPOINTS AROUND 70 DEGREES. AS THE LOW-LEVEL JET INCREASES ALONG THE TEXAS COAST...THIS MAY FAVOR RENEWED CELL GROWTH NEAR AND JUST INTO THE COLD POOL. GREATER CONCERN FOR TRAINING CONVECTION WILL EXIST AFTER 03-04Z WHEN THE COMBINATION OF THE ADVANCING SURFACE FRONT AND AN EXISTING COASTAL FRONT SHOULD ESTABLISH A CONVERGENCE AXIS ROUGHLY PARALLEL WITH THE MEAN FLOW. THIS COULD ALLOW FOR NEW CONVECTIVE CELLS AND CLUSTERS TO FEED INTO SIMILAR AREAS...AND PERHAPS CONGEAL WITH ONGOING CONVECTIVE ENHANCEMENT NEAR THE COLD POOL BOUNDARY. IT MAY BE WORTH MONITORING WHERE THE EFFECTIVE TRIPLE POINT BETWEEN THE COLD POOL AND COLD FRONT EXISTS...AS LOW-LEVEL CONVERGENCE COULD BE PARTICULARLY ENHANCED. AS OF 02Z...THIS APPEARED TO BE NEAR K11R (BRENHAM TX)...AND THERE WAS A CORRESPONDING CLUSTER OF VIGOROUS CONVECTION NEARBY. EXTRAPOLATION OF CURRENT TRENDS AND RAP FORECASTS COULD PLACE THIS NEAR HOUSTON METRO IN A FEW HOURS. THIS IS YET ANOTHER FACTOR THAT COULD INCREASE THE RESIDENCE TIME OF HEAVY RAINFALL. THE ENVIRONMENT SEEMS TO BE SUPPORTIVE OF RAIN RATES THAT WILL REACH MAXIMUM VALUES AROUND OR JUST OVER 2 IN/HR...AND WITH A GREATER RISK OF PERSISTENCE OF THESE HEAVIER RATES...FLASH FLOODING SEEMS TO BE MORE LIKELY. A REGION OF ENHANCED CONCERN WOULD BE ALONG THE SOUTHEAST TEXAS COAST INTO SOUTHWEST LOUISIANA...ROUGHLY FROM VICTORIA TX...TO HOUSTON METRO...TO LAKE CHARLES. IN ADDITION TO THE FAVORABLE ENVIRONMENTAL FACTORS...THIS ALSO INTERSECTS A LARGE METRO AREA AND SUSTAINED RAIN RATES IN EXCESS OF 1 IN/HR WOULD BE LIKELY TO PRODUCE SOME FLOODING. MORE SIGNIFICANT FLOODING COULD RESULT IN SOME OF THESE AREAS IF HOURLY RAIN RATES CAN PUSH UP TO AROUND 2 IN/HR AND LINGER FOR AT LEAST 90 MINUTES...WITH AT LEAST 5 INCH RAINFALL TOTALS. ALL OF THIS SEEMS ACHIEVABLE...BUT IT WILL COME DOWN TO MESOSCALE DETAILS. FURTHER NORTHEAST...THE SQUALL LINE WAS SHOWING MORE EASTWARD PROGRESS IN FAR NORTHEAST LOUISIANA AND CENTRAL MISSISSIPPI. DESPITE THAT...INDIVIDUAL CELLS IN THE LINE WERE MOVING AT A LIMITED ENOUGH ANGLE TO THE LINE ORIENTATION TO PRODUCE MRMS ESTIMATED RAINFALL RATES OF 1-2 IN/HR. THEREFORE...FLASH FLOODING WILL ALSO BE LIKELY IN AN ISOLATED FASHION FURTHER TO THE NORTHEAST IN PORTIONS OF LA/MS AS A SQUALL LINE CONTINUES TO PUSH INTO A MARGINALLY UNSTABLE AIR MASS AND PERSISTENT LOW-LEVEL JET.

just friendly advice - if it rains alot overnight - wait until daylight to drive to avoid flooded roads. Going to bed will check during the night on rain.

Storms are lined up from CLL to San Antonio and the Mexican border without a caboose in sight. 8 inches would not surprise me. Pretty close to 4 in by now - nothing official IMBY since our pup ate the rain gauge!

MESOSCALE PRECIPITATION DISCUSSION 0082
NWS WEATHER PREDICTION CENTER COLLEGE PARK MD
317 AM EDT THU MAR 29 2018

AREAS AFFECTED...SERN TEXAS...LOUISIANA...SW MISSISSIPPI

CONCERNING...HEAVY RAINFALL...FLASH FLOODING LIKELY

VALID 290714Z - 291300Z

SUMMARY...FLASH FLOODING WILL CONTINUE EARLY THIS MORNING FROM
SOUTHEAST TEXAS INTO PORTIONS OF LOUISIANA AS A LARGE LINE OF
THUNDERSTORMS BEGINS TO PUSH EAST. HOURLY RAIN RATES UP TO 2.0 TO
2.5 IN/HR WILL BE POSSIBLE. FLASH FLOODING MAY DEVELOP INTO
PORTIONS OF MISSISSIPPI AS WELL.

DISCUSSION...AN EXTENSIVE QLCS EXTENDED (AT 07Z) FROM NEAR
VICKSBURG MS...TO ALEXANDRIA LA...TO JASPER TX...TO HOUSTON
TX...TO CORPUS CHRISTI TX. THE SOUTHERN EXTENT OF THE LINE WAS
DEVELOPING INTO A CONTINUOUS LINE SEGMENT AND WAS BEGINNING TO
SHOW STEADIER EASTWARD PROGRESSION. THIS HAS BEEN INDICATED ON A
VARIETY OF CONVECTION ALLOWING MODELS...AND IT MAY PUSH EAST OF
THE SABINE RIVER BY 11-12Z BASED ON RECENT TRENDS. FURTHER
NORTHEAST...INDIVIDUAL CELL MOTION WAS TO THE NE IN PORTIONS OF
LOUISIANA...BUT THE MEAN POSITION OF THE LINE WAS RELATIVELY
STATIONARY AS NEW UPDRAFTS WERE TENDING TO FORM NEAR THE
INTERSECTION OF SOUTHERLY INFLOW FROM THE GULF AND THE EXISTING
COLD POOL AND OUTFLOW BOUNDARY. THIS PORTION OF THE LINE WAS LESS
PROGRESSIVE AND MAY BE MORE FAVORED FOR CONTINUED TRAINING OVER
THE NEXT SEVERAL HOURS. HOWEVER...THE LINE OF STORMS WAS LESS
CONTINUOUS IN THIS AREA LEADING TO SHORTER BURSTS OF HEAVY RAIN.
TO THE REAR OF THE LINE...NUMEROUS FLASH FLOOD WARNINGS WERE IN
EFFECT AS OF 07Z...AND FLASH FLOODING WAS LIKELY ONGOING DUE TO
PERSISTENT HEAVY RAINFALL OVER THE PAST SEVERAL HOURS.

THE LARGE SCALE ENVIRONMENT WILL CONTINUE TO BE SUPPORTIVE OF
HEAVY RAIN RATES. GPS-PW OBSERVATIONS WERE AROUND 1.9 INCHES ALONG
THE TEXAS COAST AND THIS CLOSELY MATCHED CIRA BLENDED TPW PRODUCT.
VALUES EVEN REACHED AROUND 1.6 INCHES INTO NORTHEAST LOUISIANA.
THESE WERE IN THE UPPER ECHELON OF MARCH MONTHLY UPPER AIR
OBSERVATIONAL HISTORY IN THE REGION. ADDITIONALLY...OBJECTIVE RAP
ANALYSIS SHOWED MUCAPE AROUND 1000 J/KG WHICH WILL BE SUPPORTIVE
OF ORGANIZED THUNDERSTORMS.

OBSERVED RAIN RATES HAVE BEEN AS HIGH AS 2 IN/HR ACROSS PORTIONS
OF THE REGION AND THIS WILL CONTINUE TO BE POSSIBLE EARLY THIS
MORNING. A HARRIS COUNTY FLOOD CONTROL DISTRICT RAIN GAGE NEAR
CYPRESS MEASURED 0.48 INCHES OF RAIN IN 5 MINUTES. ALTHOUGH THIS
WAS A SHORT PEAK...IT IS INDICATIVE OF THE UPPER END OF WHAT THE
ENVIRONMENT CAN SUPPORT IN THE HEAVIEST RAIN BANDS.
THOSE RATES
CORRESPONDED WITH KDP VALUES ON KHGX OF AROUND 3 DEG/KM...WHICH
MAY BE A REASONABLE PROXY ON RADARS FOR THESE SORT OF EXTREMELY
HIGH INSTANTANEOUS RAIN RATES THIS MORNING.

ONE AREA THAT MAY HAVE A PARTICULARLY ELEVATED RISK OF FLASH
FLOODING WOULD BE FROM JEFFERSON AND ORANGE COUNTIES IN TEXAS
(NEAR BEAUMONT) NORTHEAST TO BEAUREGARD...VERNON AND RAPIDES
PARISHES IN LOUISIANA (NEAR ALEXANDRIA). MRMS AND KLCH DUAL POL
ESTIMATES SHOW AROUND 3-6 INCHES OF RAIN HAS FALLEN IN THIS SWATH
ALREADY TONIGHT...AND THE CREST HYDROLOGIC MODEL CONTINUES TO SHOW
ELEVATED MAX UNIT STREAMFLOW VALUES SUGGESTIVE OF ONGOING
FLOODING. AS ADDITIONAL HEAVY RAIN MOVES INTO THAT AREA...ANY
EXISTING FLOODING COULD BE EXACERBATED AS WE APPROACH SUNRISE.
