    Areas affected...Northeast Illinois, Northwest Indiana

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

    Valid 271809Z - 272100Z

    Summary...There will be a window for potential training of
    thunderstorm activity from the Chicago Metro Area toward the
    border region between northeast Illinois and northwest Indiana
    between 1 PM and 4 PM CDT. Rain rates could exceed 2 inches per
    hour at times; if those occur in areas that have already received
    heavy rainfall, flash flooding could rapidly develop, or existing
    flash flooding could worsen.

    Discussion...Isolated supercells along the western shore of Lake
    Michigan have occasionally exhibited enough southward right-moving
    tendency near the composite lake breeze and outflow boundary to
    produce rapid bursts of heavy rainfall on the order of 1-2 inches
    in about 45 minutes. Thus far, the threat of flash flooding has
    been more isolated as the storms themselves were spaced out, but
    has materialized where supercell motion has been slowest and
    intersected with urban areas. However, there are signals in the
    past 30 minutes for some elevated thunderstorm redevelopment in
    the wake of a lead supercell and storm cluster now on the south
    side of Chicago. The redevelopment is occurring over the urban
    corridor from Lake County into Cook County, and could pass over
    some areas that have already received heavy rainfall. The lead
    thunderstorm cluster should continue to make progress south along
    the IL-IN border region with continued intense instantaneous rain
    rates, and there is potential for a training band of convection to
    continue to feed in behind it over the next few hours. The
    environment will be very similar -- a reservoir of extreme
    instability upstream with high PWs -- which will support rain
    rates over 2 inches per hour and a continued flash flood threat.

    506 PM EDT Mon Jul 27 2026

    Areas affected...Much of Indiana...Northeast & Eastern
    Illinois...Southwest Ohio...Far Northern Kentucky...

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

    Valid 272105Z - 280300Z

    SUMMARY...Intense, locally repeating thunderstorms capable of
    2.5"/hr rates may result in multiple stripes of 2-4" totals in 1-3
    hours resulting in possible localized incidents of flash flooding,
    particularly across urban centers where there will be limited
    infiltration.

    DISCUSSION...A complex, vigorous and highly dynamic environment
    across the Great Lakes is spreading south into the Ohio Valley
    with very deep moisture/unstable environment to support
    strong/highly efficient rainfall production. However, given
    strong deep layer flow, the speed will likely limit overall totals
    with exception of incidents of repeating/training which are
    probable locally across a broadening zone from W OH to E IL.
    Aloft a strong shortwave at the nose of a splitting upper-level
    jet can be seen with rapid WV leading ahead of rapid/broadening
    warming in WV across WI into northern LP of MI. This split
    downstream has allow for solid divergence aloft and upscale growth
    of initial supercells near Milwaukee and Chicago this afternoon,
    into a progressive bow in north-central IND with an upstream
    elongated long updraft from SE WI across Lake Michigan.

    Here the upstream edge of outflow boundary can be seen from a
    surface low near ISW in central WI due south along, just east of
    I-39 into northern IL. A surface pressure trof well ahead of the
    surface cold front is helping to provide slightly enhanced
    confluence at the trailing end of a broad west-southwesterly very
    moist and very unstable inflow where surface Tds are in the upper
    70s, low 80s and MLCAPEs are up to 5000 J/kg. This ascends
    orthogonally to the outflow boundary supporting the trailing broad
    updraft in SE WI but also newer development along the flank of the
    exiting bow echo across the western suburbs of Chicago at this
    time. Scattered TCU and weak CBs are intersecting and
    reinvigorating surface based convection along the outflow. Hourly
    rates of 2.5-3"/hr are probable given broad updrafts that are
    rotating, providing the extra flux convergence from super-cell
    influences. It is along this upstream edge, the greatest potential
    of training will exist given unidirectional steering flow
    generally parallel to the N-S outflow boundary. Depending on
    further expansion/destabilization, streaks of 2-4" are possible
    mainly in E IL and along the IND line. This is in line with
    recent RRFS and WoFS solutions, with the latter suggesting 90th
    percentile range may even locally reach 6", which seems to be a
    bound for worse case solution given current trends.

    Further east...the progressive bow echo will help to produce a
    quick sub-hourly 1-1.5" higher near the cyclonic rotor of the bow,
    but RAP analysis still shows some remaining pockets of
    conditionally unstable air and with reduced upstream development,
    perhaps further elevated advection of higher theta-E air to
    support additional upstream development filing in before the main
    upper-level trof swings through. This is more in line with recent
    HRRR and ARW solutions with slightly reduced totals but localized
    random intersections up to 2-3". Proximity to urban centers where
    limited infiltration and higher run-off given the shear rates
    resulting in the highest potential for localized FF across central
    IND into SW Ohio later this evening.

    All in all, the broadening of the split flow and current trends do
    not provide high confidence, but a few incidents of flash flooding
    (as described above) remain possible through this evening.

    418 PM EDT Mon Jul 27 2026

    Areas affected...Mogollon Rim and Southeast
    Arizonia...West-central to Southwest New Mexico...

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

    Valid 272020Z - 280215Z

    SUMMARY...Increasing scattered thunderstorms to continue to expand
    into smaller clusters with slow cell motions. Ample remaining
    moisture and weak but sufficient inflow likely to maintain
    efficient rainfall with rates of 1-1.5"/hr. Scattered totals of
    1-2" in 1-2 hours may result in possible localized flash flooding.

    DISCUSSION...While mid-level vorticity center is well distant in
    northern Colorado, there remains a south-southwestward extending
    700-500mb trough through S CO into northwest to western NM that is
    driving remaining upslope flow out of the southern deserts as well
    as through the Rio Grande Valley to intersect the terrain in SE AZ
    and SW NM. Full insolation today has help to build conditionally
    unstable environment along the Mogollon Rim from NW AZ through to
    the Mogollon/Gila Mountains in E AZ/W NM where MLCAPEs have risen
    to 500-1000+ J/kg from west to east. Better low level moisture
    out of the Valley into SE AZ has increased instability to 1500
    J/kg in Cochise county where low 60s Tds reside.

    Unlike prior days, there was some weak capping across the region,
    but that is quickly eroding from the mid-level trough axis
    westward through the Rim. Isolated convective initiation is
    starting to take place across the areas of reduced capping but
    also increasing moisture flux convergence generally centered near
    SOW and SW toward SVC. With stronger updraft strength, rates of
    1-1.5"/hr are to become more likely with further insolation and destabilization. Generally low level convergence toward the
    mid-level trough axis will be countered by weak westerly flow
    aloft, allowing for back-sheared anvils to fall along the path of
    the initial core allowing for random increased rainfall residency
    for localized 1.5-2" maximum. Given rocky, rough terrain, this
    may result in localized incidents of flash flooding, with higher concentration/areal coverage more likely across SE AZ into the
    eastern Mogollon Rim where instability remains highest through the
    late afternoon into evening hours, with a larger cluster possible
    to evolve/upscale grow toward 00z.

    Areas affected...Eastern Colorado...Northwest Kansas...Far
    Southwest Nebraska...

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

    Valid 272135Z - 280300Z

    SUMMARY...Strong initially slow moving cells will be capable of
    1.5-2"/hr rates and with some mergers/collisions, localized total
    of 2-3" pose possible incident(s) of localized flash flooding.

    DISCUSSION...21z surface analysis shows traditional surface low
    north of Lamar, CO with a persistent surface trof/shear axis
    extending northeastward toward CBK before starting to sag south
    from K82 east toward NW MO. Surface to boundary layer
    northeasterly flow has been pooling enhanced moisture values
    through the South Platte River Valley and northwest KS with
    1.5-1.75" Total Pwats in confluent flow responding to the
    deepening low across E CO. Proximity to the deep layer ridge
    centered along the SE CO/SW KS border and ample clear skies south
    of a stratus deck across SE WY into W NEB has allowed for
    temperatures to rise into the low to mid-100s with said enhanced
    mid to upper 60s Tds.

    As a result, highly unstable air to 5000 J/kg MLCAPE is analyzed
    along north of the boundary and with the convergence along the
    boundary convective initiation has rapidly occurred (overshooting
    tops to -75C)along the CO/NE KS border. That stratus shield is
    associated with an older jet streak out of the Rockies this
    morning that is starting to open toward right entrance ascent
    pattern to provide further divergence aloft to support the
    updrafts, while the overall steering flow remains very weak. As
    such, strong moisture flux updrafts will support 1.5-2"/hr rates
    and with limited cell motions may result in quick 2-3" totals in
    the next hour or so. RADAR animation shows outflows are already
    starting to emanate and converge for additional proximity
    development, so eventual slow motions toward the north-northeast
    may allow for some cell mergers/collisions that could result in
    short-term enhancement totwward 2.25-2.5"/hr rates.

    While the area has been very dry in the upper 0-40cm (less than
    20% soil saturation), FFG values fluctuate through the area but
    are as low as 1-1.5"/hr in Lincoln/Kit Carson County, but
    generally remain around 2"/hr and 2-3"/3hrs. Given both are in
    range, and up/downdrafts are fairly broad and incident or two of
    flash flooding is considered possible through the next few hours.
    Expansion and slow motions to the north will approach the southern
    Sand Hills of SW and central NEB, where obviously the risk will be
    mitigated by the higher soil infiltration.

    Areas affected...Northern & Eastern Lower Peninsula of Michigan...

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

    Valid 272350Z - 280530Z

    SUMMARY...Strong thunderstorms with ample moisture for 1.5-2"/hr
    rates show signs of upstream strengthening for repeating/training
    that may result in 2-3.5" totals and localized flash flooding
    through early overnight period.

    DISCUSSION...23z surface analysis depicts a subtle surface wave in
    the center of the MI U.P, between P53 and ISQ along a quickly
    advancing cold front. This is generally collocated with the left
    exit region of strong 110-120kt 250mb jet crossing Lake Superior
    and strengthening shortwave. VWP and RAP analysis also denote
    this inflection, perhaps enhanced by the shapes of the Lakes and
    prior wave, to 850mb, but unlike the surface; the 850mb boundary
    extends southeastward across the northern LP into the 'Thumb' and
    Ontario Peninsula. In the wake of the initial shortwave, strong
    southwesterly flow along/ahead of the cold front has strengthened
    to 30-35kts and advected higher moisture and unstable air to
    replenish/enhance unstable areas of the northern LP that were not
    mixed over with the initial convection.

    Surface Tds in the upper 60s, near 70F combined with pooled
    moisture along the 850mb boundary is support 1500-2000 J/kg of
    MLCAPE and total PWats starting to near 2.0". The strong
    isentropic ascent/convergence has resulted in stronger
    thunderstorms in Alpena/Alcona county, with additional upstream
    development through the northern Lake Michigan Islands. Rates of
    1.5-2"/hr are likely to become more common, but given inflection
    of deepening, deep layer cyclone; the pooling of moisture and
    favorable unidirectional steering flow should allow for expanding
    development and potential for training thunderstorms over the next
    few hours. Recent HRRR solutions suggest, as evening turns to
    night, strengthening LLJ and boundary layer decoupling may allow
    for cells to become a bit more surface rooted. This would
    generally deflect the track of the training potential more south
    of southeast which would bring areas surrounding Saginaw Bay into
    the eastern Thumb of Michigan and perhaps even northern suburbs of
    Detroit for training/repeating cells into the early overnight
    period as well.

    Naturally lower FFG values across the northeast tip of the LP into
    the 'Thumb' are about <2"/hr and 2-3"/3hrs; both of which are well
    in the range of localized exceedance. As such, flash flooding is
    considered possible through 05z tonight.

    Areas affected...Central Colorado...

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

    Valid 272320Z - 280500Z

    SUMMARY...Isolated to widely scattered incidents of focused flash
    flooding remain possible into the early overnight period. Rates of
    1-1.25"/hr and localized totals to 1.5" to continue, with better
    signals across the San Juan range through the central Front Range.

    DISCUSSION...GOES-E Visible, 10.3um EIR and GLM/NLDN lightning
    animation show a few clusters of enhanced activity in the last
    hour or so across the central Front Range of the Colorado Rockies
    as well as cluster lifting north east off the San Juan Range. RAP
    and surface analysis shows an increasing stabilizing northern
    Colorado High Plains, with some inflection of the surface to
    boundary layer shear axis noted in the central High Plains toward
    Pueblo before angling northwest toward Central and North Park.
    LightningCast denotes a solid increase in percentages above 70%
    across the North Park and ranges southwest into NW Eagle county
    and S Routt county. Modest remaining 1000-1250 J/kg of SBCAPE
    exists through this area and along that aforementioned shear axis
    with a few 1500-1750 J/kg pockets remains in south-central CO
    northeast of the San Juan activity. Given exiting shortwave over
    NE Colorado at this time, general southwest to west-southwest
    confluence should concentration best development through before
    moving into more stable air across the Northern Rockies and
    downslope areas in the High Plains.

    Total layer moisture remains well above normal with some variation
    due to off-higher terrain valley mixing but Tds are in the upper
    40s to low 50s and total PWat values are closer to 1" in the
    highest plateau with 1.25" or higher in the lower valleys in W and
    E CO, though reach to over 1.5" further east along the Lake-Palmer
    divide into far E CO. With 5-10kts of confluent convergence (and
    southwestward propagating boundary), moisture flux convergence
    should support rates of 1-1.25"/hr but longevity will be reduced
    as the boundary undercuts and shifts southwest for additional
    redevelopment in south-central CO. So, only localized 1.5" totals
    should be highly isolated, but the rates over complex/rocky ground
    conditions, even .5-.75" totals may pose scattered incidents of
    focused flash flooding.

    There are some hints that a more mature cluster through the
    central Rockies with some enhanced moisture flux north of the
    surface shear axis may allow further propagation out into the High
    Plains and deeper overall moisture. This is less certain, but
    also should move into slightly higher FFG, so FF risk would likely
    remain with any intersection with smaller towns/urban centers and
    fairly quickly at that.

    eastern Sonora state in NW Mexico is very broad with numerous
    overshooting tops and cold canopy below -70C with some tops to
    below -80C. Most of the activity remains south of the border, but
    there are hints the Meso-high is strengthening and an outflow
    boundary is progressing northward in proximity to the SE AZ border
    at this time. Additional streams can be seen with occasional
    development across SW NM advancing westward. All areas are
    generally advancing to an area of 1000-1500 J/kg of remaining CAPE
    but also increased deeper layer moisture where TPW is over 1.5
    nearing 1.75". The broad scale overturning/ convergence should
    result in scattered broadening updraft cores capable of
    short-burst (sub-hourly) 1-1.5" totals. Given the rate over
    hard/rocky ground conditions, incidents of localized flash
    flooding will remains possible through the early overnight period
    as the boundaries collide and the developing complex shifts
    eastward downslope.

    Areas affected...eastern Lower MI into OH and the upper OH Valley

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

    Valid 280512Z - 281015Z

    SUMMARY...Increasing thunderstorm coverage with areas of training
    will setup a threat for flash flooding from eastern Lower MI into
    much of OH and the adjacent upper OH Valley through 10Z. Training
    of heavy rain will allow for 1 to 2+ inches in an hour and storm
    totals of 2 to 4+ inches in a few locations.

    DISCUSSION...Thunderstorm coverage has increased across southern
    MI as of 05Z, ahead of a mid-level shortwave advancing
    southeastward to the north. Despite earlier stabilization from
    Monday afternoon's storms, westerly low level flow has replenished
    moisture below 700 mb, with modestly steep 700-500 mb lapse rates
    of 6-7 C/km allowing for MUCAPE values of 1000 to 2000+ J/kg
    across southern Lower MI per 04Z SPC mesoanalysis data.

    Farther south, central to western OH was also in a relative
    minimum of instability per SPC mesoanalysis data but that will be
    changing as the night progresses. As the shortwave over Lower MI
    continues to advance southeastward tonight, westerly low level
    moisture transport via 30-50 kt at 850 mb will advect moisture
    eastward from IL/IN into OH, supporting increasing instability
    through 10Z. As this occurs, thunderstorm coverage will increase
    over northwestern into central OH, with an overall movement toward
    the SSE with time. The orientation of the forecast expanding
    thunderstorm cluster(s) aligned with the forecast movement toward
    the SSE will allow for training at times with hourly rainfall of 1
    to 2+ inches. These rates could result in flash flooding in a few
    locations with storm totals of 2 to 4 inches expected (locally
    higher).

    Areas affected...western/central NY into northern PA

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

    Valid 280553Z - 281150Z

    SUMMARY...A few areas of flash flooding may occur across portions
    of central and western NY into northern PA over the next 3-6
    hours. Hourly rainfall, locally in excess of 2 inches, will be
    possible.

    DISCUSSION...Areas of scattered thunderstorms were ongoing from
    northern PA into central and western NY as of 0530Z. These storms
    were occurring out ahead of a mid to upper-level shortwave trough
    and associated cold front advancing ESE/SE across southern Ontario
    with 500-1500 J/kg MLCAPE estimated from western PA to the eastern
    shores of Lake Erie and Ontario as seen on 05Z SPC mesoanalysis
    data. Cells have had a history of upstream development and
    repeating, such as what has been observed across the Allegheny
    Plateau south of I-86 along the NY/PA border, locally generating
    2+ inches of rain in an hour in southern Cattaraugus County.

    Going forward, while coverage is a bit uncertain, small clusters
    of thunderstorms are likely to continue within the slowly
    expanding instability axis as low level winds of 15-25 kt from the
    southwest continue to advect moisture into the region. With a
    general mean steering flow from the west at 10-20 kt and lower
    level flow from the southwest, potential for upstream thunderstorm
    development within a low level warm advection regime will support
    hourly rainfall of 1 to 2 inches due to training, although
    localized hourly rainfall in excess of 2 inches will remain
    possible. Storm totals of 2 to 4 inches (locally higher) are
    expected through 12Z on an isolated basis along with the potential
    for flash flooding.

    Areas affected...southeastern NE into northeastern KS and
    northwestern MO

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

    Valid 280638Z - 281040Z

    SUMMARY...An axis of heavy rain is expected to focus across
    southeastern NE into northeastern KS and the mid-MO Valley over
    the next 2-4 hours. Training will likely allow for 1 to 2 inches
    of rain in an hour or less with storm totals of 3 to 5 inches
    possible.

    DISCUSSION...A broad region of fairly disorganized rainfall with
    embedded pockets of thunderstorms was ongoing as of 0610Z across
    southeastern NE into northern KS. This activity is what remains
    from more robust convective activity that occurred earlier in the
    night across central NE into northwestern KS. Several embedded
    mesoscale circulations were embedded within the cluster spanning
    from NE into KS, but most notably across south-central NE, about
    20 miles northwest of Grand Island, in the form of a well-defined
    mid-level vorticity max. A warm advection wing of convection was
    located ahead of this mid-level circulation over southeastern NE
    into northwestern KS, within a region of very weak deeper layer
    steering flow. Peak MRMS-derived hourly rainfall has been in the
    1-2 inch range over the past hour with this feature.

    The environment over southeastern NE into northwestern MO
    contained 3000 to 4000 J/kg MUCAPE and PWs of 1.9 to 2.3 inches
    per 06Z SPC mesoanalysis data. The mid-level vorticity max is
    forecast to track southeastward through 12Z around the
    northeastern side of an expansive upper ridge centered over
    eastern CO/NM. A favored zone for heavy rain is expected to
    persist from portions of southeastern NE into northeastern KS and
    possibly northwestern MO through 10Z. The orientation of the axis
    of heavy rain aligned with the forecast track of the mid-level
    circulation could result in locally very heavy rainfall with
    hourly rainfall of 1 to 2+ inches and potential for storm total
    rainfall in excess of 4 inches. Areas of flash flooding may occur
    as a result.

    Areas affected...central to southeastern AZ

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

    Valid 280741Z - 281300Z

    SUMMARY...The flash flood threat associated with an MCS over
    southeastern AZ will linger over southeastern AZ and possibly
    impact portions of central AZ through 13Z. Hourly to sub-hourly
    rainfall of 1-2 inches is expected on a localized basis.

    DISCUSSION...Infrared satellite imagery from GOES East through
    0715Z showed that cloud tops were warming overall in association
    with an MCS along the eastern AZ/MX border, although bursts of
    colder cloud tops and lightning were observed over southeastern AZ
    into northeastern Sonora in the wake of the system. An MCV was
    identified near I-19 in southern Santa Cruz County via radar
    imagery with movement toward the WNW, beneath pronounced
    anti-cyclonic outflow in the upper levels seen on water vapor
    imagery. Instability has reduced over the past 3-hours by 500-1500
    J/kg as seen in the 3-hr MUCAPE trend on the SPC mesoanalysis data
    from 07Z, but with pockets of 500-1000 J/kg MUCAPE remaining.

    Despite the overall reduction in instability and warming as seen
    in cloud tops on infrared imagery, a localized flash flood threat
    will linger across portions of AZ for another few hours. This will
    be as localized increases in instability occur along the outer
    periphery of the MCS via contributions from outflow and low level
    southerly flow from the Gulf of California into parts of central
    AZ. In addition, subtle vorticity maxima over NM and Chihuahua,
    embedded within the southwestern portion of an expansive upper
    level ridge centered over the southern High Plains, are expected
    to aid in localized convective development over the next 3-5 hours
    as they encounter remaining pockets of instability. The
    anomalously moist environment with PWs of at least 1.3 to 1.5
    inches (per 06Z GPS data over southeastern AZ) will have the
    potential to support high rainfall rates with 1 to 2 inches in
    30-60 minutes. These lingering high rain rates will allow for at
    least an isolated flash flood threat through the remainder of the
    overnight over southeastern to central AZ.

    Areas affected...western/northern PA into western/central NY

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

    Valid 281032Z - 281600Z

    SUMMARY...Scattered areas of flash flooding will remain possible
    across portions of western/northern PA into western/central NY
    through 16Z (12 PM EDT). Training of heavy rain will support
    hourly totals of 1 to 2 inches (locally higher).

    DISCUSSION...scattered thunderstorms were ongoing as of 1015Z
    across central NY into western and northeastern PA. These storms
    have had a history of generating widely scattered instances of
    hourly rainfall between 1-2 inches over the past few hours but
    coverage has been low so far. The storms were occurring out ahead
    of a mid to upper-level shortwave trough and associated cold front
    advancing SE across southern Ontario. A number of embedded
    vorticity maxima were noted within the westerly to northwesterly
    mid-level flow. One vorticity max in particular was observed over
    northern Lake Erie, with blossoming convection just ahead of the
    circulation, with additional development likely over portions of
    northwestern PA and western NY within the next 1-3 hours.

    Appreciable MLCAPE of 500-1000 J/kg was limited to a small region
    of western NY in the vicinity of Buffalo into northeastern OH.
    However, instability will expand across much of central NY into PA
    this morning as daytime heating gets underway and continued
    moisture advection from the southwest contributes to higher
    dewpoints in the 925-850 mb layer. Additional forcing for ascent
    will come as the upper trough axis over southern Ontario advances
    east with increasing upper level diffluence and divergence within
    the left-exit region of 90-110 kt jet streak near 200 mb advances
    downstream. Individual cells are expected to track toward the east
    with the deeper layer mean flow, but upstream development and repeating/training are likely to contribute to scattered areas of
    training containing hourly rainfall of 1-2 inches (locally higher)
    in a few locations. Resulting rainfall totals through 16Z are
    expected to range from 2 to 3 inches (locally higher) with areas
    of flash flooding possible, especially should there be overlap
    with urban areas or otherwise poorly draining locations.

    Areas affected...upper OH Valley into the central Appalachians

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

    Valid 280956Z - 281410Z

    SUMMARY...A few areas of flash flooding will be possible from the
    upper OH Valley into the central Appalachians through 14Z (10 AM).
    Training of heavy rain will allow for hourly rainfall of 1 to 2
    inches (locally higher) with storm total rainfall of 2-4 inches.

    DISCUSSION...Radar imagery from 0935Z showed a region of
    thunderstorms advancing southeastward from eastern and southern OH
    with an embedded axis of training which passed through Columbus
    around 08Z containing hourly rainfall between 1-2 inches. 0935Z
    imagery showed an apparent MCV about 45 miles SSE of Columbus,
    tracking nearly parallel to a warm front which was analyzed from
    west-central OH into far southwestern WV at 09Z. A second
    MCV-feature was observed over eastern OH, tracking toward western
    PA. Instability has continued to increase across southern OH with
    a 500 to 1000 J/kg increase in MLCAPE since 06Z per SPC
    mesoanalysis data, owing to low level moisture advection from the
    west. 09Z estimated MLCAPE was 250-750 J/kg with the ongoing
    convective cluster in southern OH, while less than 250 J/kg was in
    place farther north along the OH/PA border.

    Low level westerly winds (40-50 kt at 850 mb) are likely to weaken
    a bit over the next few hours but continue the advection of
    moisture and instability toward the east over the next 3-5 hours.
    Expectations are for convection to maintain along the leading edge
    of the advancing instability gradient, which should move into
    eastern KY, much of WV and portions of western VA and northeastern
    TN through 14Z. The MCV over south-central OH is forecast to track southeastward in the near term, carrying the greatest short term
    potential for training heavy rain of 1 to 2+ inches per hour into
    WV. Additional convection may develop elsewhere across eastern KY
    into the central Appalachians within the warm advection regime,
    with isolated flash flood potential. Through 14Z. Storm total
    rainfall of 2-4 inches will be possible, though these higher end
    amounts should remain fairly isolated.

    Areas affected...Southern West Virginia, Southwest Virginia,
    Eastern Tennessee, and Western North Carolina

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

    Valid 281400Z - 282000Z

    SUMMARY...2 inch/hour rainfall rates with a series of disturbances
    riding along a warm front could cause additional flash flooding
    into the mountains into this afternoon. Flash flooding possible.

    DISCUSSION...Several clusters of storms moving southeastward along
    a warm front that has banked along the southern Appalachians could
    cause additional flash flooding into this afternoon. The storms
    across southwestern West Virginia this morning have a history of
    producing flash flooding due to multiple inch per hour rainfall
    rates. The heaviest of the rain has now reached the southern tip
    of West Virginia and will be heading into southwest Virginia over
    the next few hours. Meanwhile a largely separate cluster of storms
    over northeastern Tennessee will continue pressing southeastward
    towards the Great Smoky Mountain N.P. As MUCAPE values remain in
    the 1,000-1,500 J/kg range across far western North Carolina, it
    appears the instability should allow for the storms to maintain
    themselves into the convective minimum in the late morning as the
    larger MCS transitions to surface based and much more widely
    scattered convection across this region into this afternoon.

    FFGs are particularly low along most of the VA/TN border, in the
    1-1.5 inch/hour range. For the rest of the area highlighted in
    this MPD, FFGs range between 1.5 and 2 inches per hour. Behind the
    storms early this afternoon, instability is expected to rapidly
    increase due to both maximum daytime heating as well as
    instability advection from the west, peaking between 2,500 and
    3,500 J/kg, with PWATs remaining around 1.75 inches. The plentiful
    instability and moisture suggests that when afternoon storms fire
    along the mountains this afternoon, they will be capable of
    multiple inch/hour rainfall rates.

    CAMs guidance (particularly the HRRR & RRFS) suggest the storms
    this afternoon will come in multiple waves, tracking southward
    across this region. While the storms should be fast-moving,
    they'll follow one another, fairly closely, so minimal dry time is
    expected in between. Given the already low FFGs in this region,
    this could result in additional flash flooding. The storms could
    continue, especially over Tennessee and North Carolina, beyond the
    time of this discussion, so an update appears probable.

    Areas affected...Southeastern Pennsylvania through Northern New
    Jersey

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

    Valid 281600Z - 282200Z

    SUMMARY...Multiple rounds of storms will move through eastern
    Pennsylvania and into New Jersey through the afternoon. The
    strongest cores will be capable of 3 inch/hour rates, which are
    likely to cause flash flooding.

    DISCUSSION...A very impressive shortwave trough over central
    Pennsylvania this afternoon will provide the forcing for multiple
    rounds of storms which will sweep northeastward across
    southeastern Pennsylvania and into northern New Jersey today. The
    first round of storms is moving across east-central Pennsylvania
    now. This will likely serve to mostly prime the soils for later
    rounds of storms. Where the convection gets held up, localized
    flash flooding is probable. The main show as far as flash flooding
    is concerned will be with the second round currently moving into
    central PA now (not shown). This round of storms will also be
    moving quickly, but due to destabilization of the column in
    between rounds of storms, plentiful forcing both in the lower and
    upper levels of the atmosphere, and robust moisture advection from
    the west, the storms will have no trouble producing rates as high
    as 3 inches per hour. One caveat to this first round not producing
    much flash flooding is that widely scattered storms over far
    eastern Pennsylvania near the Poconos and Delaware River, as well
    as storms trying to form out ahead of this first line could cause
    heavy rain to persist locally for far longer than the surrounding
    areas as all of the convection sweeps through. This in turn could
    cause localized flash flooding, particularly in any urban areas
    such as Allentown.

    CAMs guidance in general shows this first round of storms
    continuing northeast into northern New Jersey, eventually
    approaching the NYC metro, likely as a more congealed line.
    However, the second round will follow right behind it. The second
    round will grow upscale into its own cluster of storms, that
    tracks east across southern Pennsylvania parallel to the
    Mason-Dixon line, but likely adding new storms that form out ahead
    of it. With this second round, scattered instances of urban and
    small stream flash flooding are likely, with isolated instances of
    significant flash flooding where the heaviest rains persist the
    longest. By the 22Z end of this discussion, the storms should be
    moving through Allentown and approaching the western suburbs of
    Philadelphia. Thus, an update to this MPD is expected by then.

    Finally, from Harrisburg northeast along the I-81 corridor, there
    remains some uncertainty. The rain will likely be much more
    consistent in this area, as well as have some of the best terrain
    influences worsening any localized flash flooding, however major
    instability (greater than 1,500 J/kg) will struggle to make it
    that far north, so the flash flooding risk there has competing
    factors to overcome, and will likely not be quite as widespread as
    areas further east, especially the urban metros.

    Areas affected...Central Colorado and Northern New Mexico

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

    Valid 281810Z - 290000Z

    SUMMARY...Showers and thunderstorms forming along the Rockies will
    develop into line segments as they advect east out over the
    Plains. Flash flooding is likely from upslope enhancement in the
    mountains, then from coverage and higher rainfall intensity over
    the Plains.

    DISCUSSION...Numerous showers and thunderstorms are developing
    over the Colorado Rockies this afternoon. These storms are
    expected to continue to grow upscale over the next few hours,
    particularly those forming along the Front Ranges. Strong easterly
    moisture advection is bringing PWATs over 1 inch into the Front
    Range, with PWATs over 1.75 inches along the KS/CO border as
    analyzed by the SPC Mesoanalysis. This influx of moisture will run
    into eastward-moving storms that are forming over the mountains
    but will advect eastward off the mountains and out onto the
    Plains. As the storms run into increasingly unstable and
    moisture-rich air, they will grow upscale into clusters and line
    segments as they move into eastern Colorado. Increasingly heavy
    rain will be a notable factor with any and all storms as they
    progress eastward.

    The storms that are currently developing over the mountains are
    likely to cause locally heavy rain, which due to topography will
    quickly convert to runoff and flash flooding today, especially
    where the storms are the most persistent. FFGs are locally as low
    as 1 inch per hour across southwestern Colorado. Further south
    over New Mexico, a similar evolution is expected with the storms
    advecting east off the mountains and towards the Panhandles by
    this evening. Burn scars and other locally flood prone/low-lying
    areas are the areas most vulnerable to the development of flash
    flooding in this region.

    CAMs guidance suggest most of the convection will move into the
    Plains by this evening. However, some of the storms will remain
    tied to the terrain, and will therefore continue to threaten
    additional flash flooding over the Colorado mountains into this
    evening.

    Areas affected...northeastern New Jersey, southern New York State,
    and western Connecticut

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

    Valid 281956Z - 282356Z

    Summary...A slow-moving cluster of storms will spread heavy
    rainfall across much of the discussion area through the afternoon.
    Areas of flash flooding are expected, with significant impacts
    possible.

    Discussion...A slow-moving cluster of storms currently extends
    from near Poughkeepsie, NY southward along I-87 through Newark, NJ
    and New Brunswick. The storms are embedded in roughly 20 knots of
    mean steering flow aloft while oriented favorably for training.
    Areas on the southern sides of the complex currently have the
    greatest potential for training, where convective cells have
    recently increased in intensity while drifting slowly northward
    and merging. Flash flood potential will also peak in the short
    term due to very slow cell movement. Given the airmass supporting
    this activity (1.8 inch PW, 1500-2000 J/kg MLCAPE), expect ongoing thunderstorms to eventually begin producing 1-2 inch/hr rain
    rates, which will readily cause runoff/flash flood issues given
    the urban nature of ground conditions in the region. FFG
    thresholds of 0.5-1 inch/hr will also be exceeded at times.

    The current trek of the cluster will result in scattered
    thunderstorms and 1-2 inch/hr rain rates spreading more into
    southern New York State (including White Plains, Yorktown, and New
    York City Metro) and adjacent areas of southwestern Connecticut
    (near Stamford) over the next 1-3 hours. Any upstream development
    over central New Jersey will also have to be monitored carefully
    for intensification and merging into the complex, resulting in
    potential prolonging of rain rates and worsening flash flood
    potential. Local amounts of 3-5 inches are expected through 2300Z
    - especially across far northeastern New Jersey.

    Areas affected...portions of Virginia, Maryland, Delaware, and the
    District of Columbia

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

    Valid 282052Z - 290152Z

    Summary...Areas of flash flooding are possible - especially as
    storms over the Appalachians reach the I-95 Urban Corridor between
    Washington, D.C.; Baltimore; and surrounding areas.

    Discussion...Scattered thunderstorms have increased in coverage
    across the Appalachians generally from Frederick, MD southwest to
    Harrisonburg, VA. The storms are moving southeastward at about
    15-25 knots or so, and with southeastward progression, they'll
    encounter a more moist airmass characterized by 1.9 inch PW and
    sufficient instability (2000+ J/kg MLCAPE) for strong to intense
    convection and heavy rainfall. The presence of towering cumulus
    and isolated showers ahead of this convection suggests potential
    for mergers that could also prolong rain rates over the next 2-4
    hours. Storms should also reach more sensitive ground conditions (urban/hydrophobic surfaces near DC/Baltimore and the general
    vicinity), promoting excessive runoff and flash flood potential.

    On the current path, storms should reach the I-95/DC to Baltimore
    urban corridor between 2130-23Z (5:30p-7p eastern). These storms
    will have potential for 1-2 inch/hr rain rates that will readily
    exceed local FFG in a few spots (especially urban areas). Flash
    flood potential will likely maximize during that timeframe and
    persist eastward toward Delaware and eastern Maryland through at
    least 01Z (9p eastern).

    southern Utah

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

    Valid 282113Z - 290313Z

    Summary...Scattered thunderstorms are producing locally heavy
    rainfall in a climatologically favored monsoon regime. Areas of
    flash flooding could occur in a few areas through 03Z/9p mountain
    time.

    Discussion...Areas of scattered thunderstorms are moving
    northwestward across the discussion area, with the greatest
    concentrations currently extending from Kingman to Page, AZ and
    from near Show Low, AZ to near Gallup, NM. The storms are slow
    moving due to weak southeasterly steering flow on the southern
    periphery of an upper ridge centered over New Mexico.
    Additionally, storms are in a sufficiently moist/unstable
    environment (1.1-1.4 inch PW) for locally heavy rainfall, with
    rates exceed 1 inch/hr at times. The rates are high enough to
    cause occasional flash flood issues particularly in low spots/slot
    canyons and other sensitive terrain. Enough instability/moisture
    exists for storms to persist into southern Utah as well over the
    next 1-4 hours. FFG thresholds (around 1 inch/hr) will be readily
    exceeded beneath the most dominant storms.

    Models/CAMs suggest that the ongoing activity will continue to
    drift northwestward while continuing heavy rainfall potential
    through at least 02Z/8p mountain. Thereafter, storms (and flash
    flood potential) should undergo a weakening/downward trend due to
    loss of daytime heating and nocturnal boundary layer stabilization.

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

    Valid 282209Z - 290409Z

    Summary...Flash flood potential continues for the northern
    Mid-Atlantic into southern New York State.

    Discussion...Scattered thunderstorm continue to migrate slowly eastward/northeastward across the discussion area. Latest radar
    depicts a couple of dominant storm modes: 1) a linear complex
    approaching southeastern Pennsylvania extending from near Reading
    to near Oxford and Bel Air, MD and 2) more scattered cells and
    mergers occurring from Reading northeastward toward New Brunswick,
    NJ. The storms remain in a favorable environment for heavy
    rainfall, with modest southwesterly steering flow aloft promoting
    slow storm motions and nearly 2 inch PW/1500 J/kg MLCAPE promoting
    heavy rainfall beneath the storms. 25 kt low-level flow and
    ascent aloft from approaching mid-level shortwave troughs also
    appear supportive of ongoing convection continuing for another few
    hours.

    Models/obs all favor slow eastward progression of ongoing
    thunderstorm activity. Areas of 1-2 inch/hr rain rates will occur
    on a scattered basis, and local 3 inch/hr amounts are possible on
    an isolated basis. These rates are likely to cause flash flooding
    at times in several areas, with particular concern in urban and
    flood-sensitive areas from Philadelphia northeastward to New York
    City metros and areas near Reading, Allentown, and Easton. Storms
    may reach the eastern parts of the discussion area (eastern NJ and
    vicinity) by 03Z/11p eastern or so.

    Areas affected...eastern Colorado, western Kansas, southwestern
    Nebraska

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

    Valid 290033Z - 290433Z

    Summary...Scattered thunderstorms continue to migrate slowly
    southeastward across the central High Plains. Isolated to
    scattered flash flood potential exists.

    Discussion...Earlier convection across the High Plains of Colorado
    and adjacent areas of southwestern Nebraska have begun the process
    of congealing into forward-propagating clusters while migrating
    southeastward through the discussion area. Satellite
    representation of this activity remains impressive, which isn't
    surprising given steep mid-level lapse rates (~7C/km) supporting
    intense updrafts. Spots of 2-3 inch/hr rain rates were noted over
    the past hour (per MRMS) east of Pueblo and from near Akron/Yuma
    south to I-70 in eastern Colorado. These rates were locally
    exceeding FFG, and spotty flash flood impacts remain possible with
    this activity. Additional storms in southwestern Nebraska (near
    Oshkosh) were also producing spotty 1-1.5 inch/hr rain rates that
    were approaching FFG locally.

    Ongoing flash flood potential should continue on an isolated to
    scattered basis as these storms move eastward. Upscale growth
    into forward-propagating clusters is underway and should help
    storms persist eastward to at least the CO/KS border and portions
    of far western Kansas. At some point though, hostile upper-level
    conditions (around -3C temps at 500mb in SW KS) may work against
    persistence of storms on a widespread basis especially east of US
    83. Flash flood potential should gradually decrease with eastward
    extent in tandem with any lessening of convective coverage.

    Areas affected...eastern NY/NJ, Long Island into southern New
    England

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

    Valid 290425Z - 290930Z

    Summary...Showers and thunderstorms are expected to impact
    portions of eastern NY/NJ, Long Island into southern New England
    over the next 4-5 hours. Training and repeating rounds of heavy
    rain are likely to result in flash flooding with 2 to 4 inches of
    rain (locally higher) through 10Z (6 AM EDT).

    Discussion...GOES East water vapor and area radar imagery at 04Z
    showed a number of low to mid-level vorticity maxima over southern
    NY into NJ, located just ahead of a mid-level trough axis that
    extended southward through central NY into eastern PA and southern
    NJ. These mesoscale circulations were slow moving and associated
    with locally enhanced moisture convergence and areas of heavy
    rain. MRMS-derived hourly rainfall has peaked in the 1-2 inch
    range since 01Z over portions of NJ into southern NY with a number
    of flash flood warnings ongoing across the region. The environment
    over the northern Mid-Atlantic into southern New England was
    characterized by weak MLCAPE of <1000 J/kg and PWs of 1.5 to 1.7
    inches (04Z SPC mesoanalysis and 00Z OKX sounding)

    The larger scale mid-level trough axis is forecast by the RAP to
    slowly shift eastward over the next 6 hours with a more pronounced
    mid-level vorticity over southern NJ expected to advance more
    toward the northeast. Out ahead of these mid-level features will
    be ~20-30 kt of 925-850 mb southerly flow which will feed from
    locally higher moisture/instability just off of the East Coast.
    Development of showers/thunderstorms are expected near the NJ
    coast and south of Long Island, with northward translation into
    the overnight. The lower level winds will promote areas of
    training and repeating rounds of heavy rain given mean steering
    flow from south to north of 10-20 kt, with even slower mean flow
    over the Catskills and lower Hudson Valley. The environment will
    be supportive of continued peak hourly rainfall of 1 to 2 inches
    (locally higher) which should contribute to a localized rainfall
    totals of 2 to 4 inches (locally higher) through 10Z (6 AM EDT)
    due to the slow movement of heavy rain cores. Areas of flash
    flooding will continue to be likely, especially where heavy
    rainfall has already occurred over the past 12 hours and with any
    overlap of urban locations or sensitive terrain.

    NWS Weather Prediction Center College Park MD
    318 AM EDT Wed Jul 29 2026

    Areas affected...southern NE into northern KS

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

    Valid 290716Z - 291230Z

    SUMMARY...Slow moving thunderstorms will pose a risk of flash
    flooding to portions of southern NE and northern KS through 13Z.
    Hourly rain may exceed 2 inches on an isolated basis with storm
    totals of 2 to 4 inches (locally higher).

    DISCUSSION...Radar trends over the last 45 minutes ending at 0645Z
    showed the development of slow moving cluster of thunderstorms
    over southwestern NE, on either side of I-80 between North Platte
    and Lexington. Additional, more isolated convection has also
    formed ESE of this region over southern NE, as far east as US 77.
    This development appears to be related to a strengthening low
    level jet represented by 25-30 kt of southerly 850 mb flow noted
    in the KDDC VAD wind profile. The cells are likely rooted just
    above 850 mb per RAP analysis soundings, overrunning a
    subtle/shallow surface front analyzed near the KS/OK border, and a
    remnant west-east oriented rain-cooled boundary near the southern
    NE border. A more prominent outflow boundary was noted to be
    advancing eastward across western KS, related to weakening
    convection near the southern CO/KS border.

    The low level jet is likely near peak strength according to RAP
    forecasts, but some veering of the low level flow is forecast over
    east-central KS through 12Z. Continued isentropic lift atop the
    leading edge of warmer air to the south should continue some
    degree of mostly disorganized elevated convection over southern
    NE/northern KS through the remainder of the night. Additional
    development and increasing coverage of cells is expected into
    northern KS, southeast of ongoing activity in southwestern NE
    later in the night. Despite the expectation of disorganized cells,
    much of NE into northern KS is caught within a weakness of the
    deeper layer mean flow. 0-6 km AGL mean layer winds are less than
    10 kt area wide and even less than 5 kt in a few locations. This
    should contribute to slow cell movement with heavy rain rates
    given PW values ranged from 1.9 to 2.1 inches (00Z area soundings
    and SPC mesoanalysis data from 07Z). Hourly rainfall of 1 to 2
    inches and storm total rainfall of 2 to 4 inches (locally higher
    rates/totals possible) can be expected through 13Z. While coverage
    of these higher amounts is uncertain, current thinking is that
    they should be widely scattered in nature. Flash flooding may
    develop as a result of localized heavy rain rates.

    Areas affected...Long Island, far northern NJ into eastern NY and
    southern New England

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

    Valid 290942Z - 291515Z

    Summary...Slow moving showers and thunderstorms will continue to
    produce areas of flash flooding across eastern NY into southern
    New England and Long Island this morning. Slow moving areas of
    heavy rain are expected to produce an additional 3 to 5 inches of
    rain in some locations through 15Z (11 AM EDT).

    Discussion...Area radar imagery at 0915Z showed a slow moving
    corridor of heavy rain impacting the Hudson Valley containing
    observed hourly rainfall of 1-2 inches (locally higher). Farther
    south, another axis of heavy rain was slowly pivoting east across
    central Suffolk County into western CT. Despite weak instability
    of about 500 J/kg or less, the region remained in a favorable
    environment for heavy rain, positioned just ahead of a slow moving
    low aloft with numerous mid-level vortices helping to focus
    locally higher rainfall rates over inland locations. A surface/850
    mb low has become rather well defined about 25 miles south of
    Farmingdale, with 25-35 kt of southerly to south-southeasterly
    925-850 mb flow transporting PWs of 1.7 to 2.0 inches across Long
    Island into southwestern CT and eastern NY. Similarly oriented low
    level and deeper layer steering flow has promoted training and
    repeating rounds of heavy rain beneath diffluent and divergent
    flow just east of the upper low over northeastern PA.

    Short term forecasts from the RAP show the 850 mb low slowly
    tracking north over the next 6 hours with the low level moisture
    transport axis to its east pivoting eastward across Long Island
    into southern New England. By 15Z, the low should be over
    southwestern CT with low level southeasterly to easterly winds
    across southern New England converging into a deformation zone
    along the eastern NY border with CT/MA. It is here that the
    highest additional rainfall totals may occur with slow moving
    hourly rainfall values of 1 to 2+ inches over multiple hours.
    While a single location may not see 1 to 2+ in/hr rainfall
    continuously, the eastern NY into southwestern New England region
    will be in a favorable location for periodic occurrences of higher
    rainfall intensities. Terrain influences may factor into flash
    flood severity. Given locally heavy rain across eastern NY into
    portions of New England over the past 24-28 hours, flash flooding
    could be locally significant this morning. Areas of flash flooding
    will continue to be likely this morning with likely disruptions to
    the morning commute and across locations of sensitive terrain.

    Areas affected...New England

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

    Valid 031908Z - 040030Z

    SUMMARY...The potential for an additional 1 to 2 inches (spot max
    of 3 inches) will maintain at least an isolated flash flood threat
    across New England through about 00Z. Peak hourly rainfall of 1-2
    inches is expected with the threat ending from west to east into
    the evening.

    DISCUSSION...Trends in radar imagery across the Northeast over the
    past 3 hours showed weakening associated with
    showers/thunderstorms over southeastern New England, while new shower/thunderstorm development was underway to the west. 1845Z
    radar imagery showed a narrow axis of higher reflectivity
    extending along the VT/NH border into western MA and along the
    NY/CT border, just ahead of a cold front. The 18Z SPC mesoanalysis
    showed MLCAPE of 500-1000 J/kg in place from CT into central MA,
    VT/NH and western ME along with PWs that increased from 1.8 inches
    near the cold front to about 2.3 inches along the coast of
    southeastern New England.

    The RAP forecasts the cold front to track east through New
    England, clearing much of the region by 00Z. This progressive
    motion should limit much of flash flood threat over the next 3-5
    hours as cells are not likely to remain over any given location
    for too long. However, portions of southern VT/NH into central and
    western MA/CT have lowered flash flood guidance values of about 1
    inch or less in an hour. Hourly flash flood guidance of up to 2
    inches or higher is in place for the remaining portions of New
    England. There is some potential for line segments to push out
    ahead more quickly than portions to the south, setting up
    alignment with the mean southwesterly steering flow and supporting
    brief training. This would allow for hourly rainfall totals of 1-2
    inches and potential for flash flooding. Through 00Z, additional
    rainfall of 1 to 2 inches is expected for portions of New England,
    with a spot maximum total up to 3 inches possible. Isolated to
    widely scattered instances of flash flooding may occur through
    about 00Z, at which point the deeper moisture should have moved
    out of most of the region, ending the flash flood threat.

    Areas affected...Southwestern New Mexico and Southeastern Arizona

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

    Valid 032103Z - 040200Z

    SUMMARY...Clusters of storms have formed across portions of
    southeastern Arizona and southwestern New Mexico. These storms
    could produce up to 1.5 inch/hour rainfall rates over flood-prone
    areas, which could lead to flash flooding.

    DISCUSSION...Storms associated with the ongoing summer monsoon
    have developed over southwestern New Mexico and southeastern
    Arizona this afternoon. These storms have formed over
    flood-sensitive areas, especially local burn scars and slot
    canyons. Flash flooding will be possible where heavy rains occur
    over those flood-sensitive areas.

    SPC Mesoanalysis shows PWATs over portions of southern Arizona
    west of Nogales over 1.5 inches, with over an inch PWATs over all
    but far northern portions of the discussion area. The storms have
    a history of producing rainfall rates over an inch per hour. Given
    the daily storms that have formed and tracked over these flood
    sensitive areas over the past several days, soils remain sensitive
    to additional rainfall. Instability values in the area are between
    1,000 and 2,000 J/kg of MUCAPE, except along the immediate Mexican
    border areas from Nogales east, where instability is a bit higher
    than 2,000 J/kg. This instability should more than supper
    additional thunderstorm development over these areas of extreme
    southeastern Arizona where 1-hr FFG values are between 1 and 1.5
    inches.

    CAMs guidance suggests the storms will continue forming in
    clusters and individual cells across the discussion area for the
    rest of the afternoon. The typical waning of thunderstorm activity
    with the loss of daytime heating will once again end the flash
    flooding threat.

    Areas affected...Coastal Carolinas

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

    Valid 032139Z - 040300Z

    SUMMARY...A few clusters of storms developing just inland from the
    coast of the Carolinas have a history of producing rainfall rates
    to 3 inches/hour. Flash flooding possible.

    DISCUSSION...Clusters of storms have developed along the sea
    breeze front in the coastal Carolinas this afternoon. These storms
    have a history of producing rainfall rates to 3 inches per hour
    based on radar estimates. FFGs are generally between 2 and 3
    inches per hour, so these storms have been at times exceeding
    those values, so flash flooding is possible. The areas where these
    values have been the most greatly exceeded is where cell mergers
    with the clusters have resulted in abnormally long periods of
    heavy rain, so most areas have stayed below these FFG thresholds
    so far. However, given much of the coast is urbanized to some
    extent, local flash flooding thresholds could be lower.

    This area has been hit repeatedly over the past few days with
    afternoon thunderstorms, so NASA Sport imagery shows surface soils
    are significantly wetter than normal in some spots.
    Meteorologically, the storms are forming ahead of a shortwave
    trough over the Southeast, with a front stuck near the mountains.
    The primary forcing for these storms is sea breeze and frictional
    convergence due to southerly winds along the coast. As on past
    days, PWATs are very high, generally between 2.2 and 2.4 inches
    from SPC Mesoanalysis, leading to MUCAPE values between 2,000 and
    3,000 J/kg. These factors should continue to support additional
    thunderstorm development through the afternoon.

    CAMs guidance shows most of the strongest storm activity staying
    off the coast, which has not been the case so far. Meanwhile, most
    of them showing the current convection, all of them underdone,
    pretty quickly dissipating over the next couple hours. Seeing no
    reason why the storms should largely dissipate into showers, have
    opted towards a persistence forecast in this area considering the
    pattern over the past several days has supported it. Urban and
    small stream flash flooding is possible in areas further inland
    such as Augusta and Columbia where more widely scattered, but
    nonetheless heavy rain capable storms have been forming.

    Areas affected...portions of Georgia, far southwestern North
    Carolina, far southeastern Tennessee, and upstate South Carolina

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

    Valid 041514Z - 042114Z

    Summary...Thunderstorms with isolated/localized flash flood
    potential will gradually increase in coverage and intensity
    through the afternoon hours (21Z/5p eastern).

    Discussion...Deep convection has recently materialized over/near
    the Atlanta area, with more isolated activity noted across
    northern Georgia and the Chattanooga, TN area. The storms were
    developing beneath a nearly stationary upper low centered over
    northern GA, with thermodynamic characteristics (1500 J/kg MLCAPE,
    1.8 inch PW values) supporting heavy rainfall with the developing
    activity. Abundant towering cumulus via satellite imagery
    suggests that convection will gradually increase in coverage over
    the next couple hours, with areas of 1-2 inch/hr rain rates
    becoming common -- primary due to very weak steering flow aloft
    and slow convective cell movement.

    Models/CAMS also support the expected evolution of this activity
    (increasing convective coverage). Hourly FFG thresholds are
    relatively high across central GA (around 2+ inch/hr), but
    decrease with northward extent into southeastern TN and the
    southern Appalachians where 1.5 inch/hr is more common. Flash
    flood potential will be slightly higher where lower FFG thresholds
    are present, while urban excessive runoff cannot be ruled out

    1016 PM EDT Sat Aug 01 2026

    Areas affected...Eastern KY...Eastern TN...Northern GA...Northeast
    AL... Western NC, Upstate SC and Far Western VA...

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

    Valid 020220Z - 020800Z

    SUMMARY...Increasing deep layer forcing should maintain convective
    activity in a narrowing warm sector across the Cumberland Plateau.
    Ample deep layer moisture and flux convergence will allow for up
    to 2"/hr rates and multiple lines may allow for repeating random
    intersections for spots of 2-4" totals across increasingly complex
    terrain. Localized flash flooding remains possible overnight.

    DISCUSSION...GOES-E WV suite shows classic elongating deep layer
    cyclone over the Midwest with impressive mid-level dry slot across
    Middle-TN into central KY as jet speed max is starting to round
    the base of the elongated SW to NE deeper layer cyclone. This
    will help direct circulation FGEN along the advancing cold front
    as noted by trend of continued convective development along the
    length from NE KY across eastern Middle TN into northern AL and
    east-central MS. Pre-frontal warm sector clusters also exist
    given solid surface to mid-level moisture flux confluence across
    NE AL/N GA into eastern TN with the southwest slopes of the
    Appalachians further compressing the zone for increased localized
    convergence for convective initiation. As such Regional RADAR
    mosaic denotes a few bands of cells advancing eastward into slower moving/banked up cells (Monroe to Fannin to Lumpkin counties).

    Total PWats are reaching 2-2.25" in a narrow band in the warm
    conveyor belt up through eastern KY/SW WV. Given steepening lapse
    rates aloft due to mid-level drying, the instability axis remains
    west of the moisture with 1500-2250 J/kg
    of MLCAPE to support vigorous updraft strength and enhanced
    moisture flux. As such, cells will have capability of 2-2.25"/hr
    rates and while generally progressive, a few cells along the lower
    slopes as well as multiple lines, may allow for increased
    residency and/or repeating to support localized 2-4" totals
    through the overnight period.

    FFG values across the area are generally 1-1.5"/hr in E KY/TN
    increasing to 1.5-2" into N GA with another minimum near
    Birmingham and the far southwestern foothills of the Appalachians
    in NE AL; while 3 hr FFG are 1.5-3". This suggests a solid
    potential for localized exceedance of flash flooding both in
    initial hour but also with those random intersections of repeating
    across the area.

    1225 AM EDT Sun Aug 02 2026

    Areas affected...Eastern Slopes of Applachians of Upstate SC...
    Western NC...Southwest VA...

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

    Valid 020425Z - 020900Z

    SUMMARY...Ongoing significant flash flooding likely to continue
    and expand in coverage along the eastern upslope regions of the
    Southern Appalachians. Reports of 5-7" have already occurred while
    other focused cores are reaching 3"+.

    DISCUSSION...Hi-Res CAMs have been persistent in weakening
    convection along the eastern upslope region of the Appalachians
    from Western NC into SW VA for the last few cycles as the warm air
    deepens and leading edge of moisture flux convergence reaches the
    upper heights of the terrain with weakening instability and wind
    fields veering in the forecast guidance. However, surface
    observations continue to show southeasterly surface and southerly
    925-850mb winds in the VWP network while still having 3-5 degrees
    of dew-point depressions, all while moisture flux through depth
    and surface Tds continue to slowly rise.

    RAP analysis shows 500-750mb of uncapped MLCAPE along the upslope
    region and GOES-E 3.9um animation depict continued convective
    vigor/pulsing rather than increased glaciation of cloud tops.
    CIRA LPW shows surface to 850mb larger remains above .8" with slow
    increase at 850-700mb layer toward .6" and overall totals nearing
    2" along the lower slopes and with VWP increasing in the wake of
    the warm front toward 20-25kts; moisture flux will continue to
    support increasing rainfall rates within the shallow convection.

    The worst convective area had been near Mount Airy/Pilot Mountain
    where RADAR appears to have been overestimating the rates
    significantly from KRNK but observations of 2-2.5"/hr for a few
    hours has resulted in localized 5-7" totals in the last 2-3hrs
    resulting in a significant flash flooding signal. While MRMS
    Flash is likely overestimated due to the inflated rates, there is
    a broadening area of near 1000 cfs/sq. mi indicative of
    significant flash flooding especially given complex terrain. This
    cell had had a longer life than other convective cells, but
    coverage in 3.9um/10.3um IR imagery in W NC continues to slightly
    increase with observations starting to reach 2-3" totals.

    RAP forecast has been a bit more realistic in maintaining
    convective/rainfall capabilities compared to the HRRR which tends
    to dissipate convection too quickly in a reducing instability
    environment; so this suggests capability for continued convective
    activity through the early morning is more probable and spots of
    add'l 2-4"+ remain likely through the overnight period from W NC
    across SW to West-central VA eastern slopes of the Appalachians,
    especially as shortwave energy continues to lift northeastward
    along and west of the Appalachians maintaining very moist upslope
    conditions.

    Areas affected...Western PA...Central to Northern WV... Adj.
    Eastern OH...

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

    Valid 021000Z - 021500Z

    SUMMARY...Increasing scattered convection with potential for
    multiple rounds of storms may result in localized incident(s) of
    flash flooding given rates of 1-1.5"/hr and 1.5-2.5" totals by
    late morning.

    DISCUSSION...GOES-E WV suite shows elongating positive tilt
    mid-level trough/occluded surface low over the lower Ohio Valley
    with a broadening dry slot across much of Ohio and warm conveyor
    belt narrowing out of the Cumberland Plateau into the Upper Ohio
    River Valley. CIRA LPW shows band of enhanced moisture from
    surface to 500mb across W PA, WV into far eastern KY but also a
    connecting bridge of surface to 700mb moisture out of the
    Mid-Atlantic (from the eastern Atlantic) trying to over-top the
    peak of the Appalachian chain. A subtle shortwave can be seen
    near the Cumberland Gap of SE KY/W VA with downstream short-wave
    ridging associating with expanding divergent mid to upper-level
    flow across WV. While heating is clearly a problem overnight, the
    warm conveyor still has some modest low-level remaining warm air
    and steepening lapse rates from drying aloft just west of the warm
    conveyor, there is a narrow axis of increasing instability with
    MUCAPE values increasing 200-400 J/kg over the last 3 hours across
    the upper-Ohio Valley into 750-1000 J/kg range.

    A SW to NE confluence axis along and north of the warm front still
    south across E KY/W VA, is isentropically ascending with a weak
    convergence toward the western branch resulting in some weak but
    sufficient low-level moisture convergence. Combined with the
    expanding divergence aloft, shallow thunderstorms have been
    expanding across the Stovepipe of WV into W PA, with further
    scattered development closer to the surface front in SW WV. Given
    deep layer moisture and TPW toward 2", increasing efficiency is
    expected with the shallow cells with rain rates increasing above
    1"/hr with a spot or two of 1.25-1.5"/hr becoming possible over
    the next few hours. Forward propagation may limit overall totals
    to a similar range; however, the upstream environment will likely
    support scattered development for possible repeating. As such,
    isolated spots of 1.5-2.5" totals are possible through morning
    hours; with very slow eastward progression of the occluded/cold
    front and therefore warm conveyor belt toward the spine of the
    Appalachians.

    Hydrologically, complex terrain makes hourly FFG values in 1-1.5"
    and between 2-2.5" for 3hrs which is at the threshold of
    exceedance suggesting isolated to widely scattered incident or two
    of flash flooding remain possible this morning.

    Areas affected...FL Panhandle...Far Southwest GA

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

    Valid 021414Z - 021900Z

    SUMMARY...Locally concentrated areas of showers and thunderstorms
    with high rainfall rates may support some areas of flash flooding
    going through mid-afternoon.

    DISCUSSION...GOES-E IR satellite imagery shows rapidly cooling
    convective tops across portions of the FL Panhandle as showers and thunderstorms are seen expanding in coverage and gradually
    advancing off to the east-northeast. The activity is focused
    within a confluent low-level flow regime southeast of a cold front
    slowly dropping into the Southeast U.S.

    The airmass across the northeast Gulf Coast region is very moist
    and unstable with MLCAPE values of 2000 to 3000 J/kg, and PWs near
    2.25 inches. Modestly divergent flow aloft coupled with at least a
    weak corridor of moisture convergence should tend to support this
    convective activity maintaining itself in the near-term which is
    supported by the latest HRRR and RRFS solutions.

    Rainfall rates of 2 to 3 inches/hour will be likely with the
    stronger storms given the level of moisture and instability that
    is in place, and with slow cell-motions and potentially some
    occasional cell-training, some localized 3 to 5 inch rainfall
    totals will be possible through mid-afternoon.

    The activity at least for the next few hours will tend to largely
    be impacting areas of the FL Panhandle, but some of this
    convection may edge into far southwest GA by early this afternoon.
    Given the high rainfall rates and localized storm potential, some
    areas of flash flooding will be possible.

    1230 PM EDT Sun Aug 02 2026

    Areas affected...Interior of the Central Mid-Atlantic

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

    Valid 021630Z - 022230Z

    SUMMARY...Increasing coverage of showers and thunderstorms with
    very high rainfall rates over 2 inches/hour may result in an urban
    flash flood threat going through the afternoon hours. This will
    include areas near I-95 from northern VA into southeast PA.

    DISCUSSION...The latest GOES-E visible satellite imagery along
    with radar data shows a cluster of thunderstorms with very high
    rainfall rates tending to gain organization and coverage to the
    southwest of Washington D.C. and very close to Fredericksburg, VA.
    This convective cluster is exhibiting some weak mesocyclone
    tendencies as it advances off to the north-northeast.

    3-hour MUCAPE differentials confirm an uptick in instability
    across northern VA on up through central MD and into southeast PA,
    with the nose of 1000 to 2000 J/kg CAPE magnitudes noted. This
    coincides with the nose of high PWs, with values locally exceeding
    2 inches. This environment will be highly conducive for the
    ongoing convection to sustain itself and locally expand in
    coverage as differential heating along the I-95 corridor helps to
    tighten and locally strengthen the instability gradient. Visible
    satellite images show substantial solar insolation taking place
    across southern MD up through far northeast MD and into southeast
    PA to support this.

    The thermodynamic environment favors extreme rainfall rate
    potential with the 12Z RAOB data from KIAD and KRNK showing a
    substantial moisture and elevated WCL depths advancing up across
    the Mid-Atlantic. The instability uptick along with the moisture
    will support rainfall rates locally exceeding 2 inches/hour with
    the organizing areas of showers and thunderstorms.

    The latest hires CAMs are not doing well in handling the ongoing
    convective activity, but based on the latest satellite and radar
    trends, some localized 2 to 4 inch rainfall swaths will be
    possible where these organizing convective clusters focus and
    locally train over the same area. Already the convection has some
    linear segments aligned with the deeper layer south-southwest flow
    to favor cell-training.

    The setup going through through the afternoon hours will support
    an urban flash flood near and adjacent to the I-95 corridor from
    Washington D.C. through Baltimore and at least some areas of
    southeast PA from Lancaster on down to Philadelphia.

    Areas affected...Portions of the Upper OH Valley...Lower Great
    Lakes...Central Appalachians

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

    Valid 021726Z - 022315Z

    SUMMARY...Expanding coverage of heavy showers and thunderstorms
    will foster some areas of flash flooding going through the
    afternoon and early evening hours.

    DISCUSSION...The latest GOES-E GeoColor visible satellite imagery
    along with radar data shows developing and gradually expanding
    areas of heavy showers and thunderstorms across the Upper OH
    Valley, Lower Great Lakes and central Appalachians. This is being
    facilitated by the presence of a deep layer trough/closed low
    which is interacting with a destabilizing boundary layer and
    plenty of moisture.

    MLCAPE values have risen to 1000 to 1500 J/kg locally, and
    additional solar insolation, especially across the Upper OH
    Valley, should drive an uptick in this instability over the next
    few hours. PWs are locally on the order of 1.5 to 1.75 inches, and
    this coupled with the instability will favor convective cells
    capable of producing 1 to 2 inch/hour rainfall rates.

    Over the next few hours, expanding clusters of convection are
    expected which will be capable of some cell-training given
    alignment of the convection with the deeper layer steering flow.

    The latest hires model guidance supports some localized swath of 2
    to 4+ inches of rain going through the afternoon and early evening
    hours. The greatest potential for this based on the 12Z HREF/REFS
    guidance should generally be across western PA and into western NY
    where the 3-hour FFG exceedance probabilities are also on the
    order of 30 to 50+ percent.

    Given locally moist/sensitive antecedent conditions, the high
    rainfall rates and storm total potential will likely foster some
    areas of flash flooding. This will also include locally some urban
    flash flooding concerns.

    Areas affected...Southeastern Georgia into South Carolina

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

    Valid 021800Z - 030000Z

    SUMMARY...Clusters of storms over central Georgia are likely to
    move over hard hit areas of eastern Georgia and South Carolina,
    likely causing renewed flash flooding. There's a more conditional
    flash flooding threat into southwestern Georgia and far
    southeastern Alabama.

    DISCUSSION...Clusters of storms have formed over central Georgia
    this afternoon. These storms have a history of producing rainfall
    rates over 3 inches per hour. Plentiful moisture is in place both
    where the storms are now over Georgia and into central South
    Carolina as well. SPC Mesoanalysis shows instability values from
    2,500 J/kg near the NC/SC border to near 4,000 J/kg near where the
    storms are now in Georgia. A strong cold front to the west is
    providing ample forcing for the storms, with deep tropical
    moisture being drawn northward ahead of the front over Georgia and
    South Carolina to the tune of PWATs between 2.2 and 2.4 inches.
    Thus, these storms have ample moisture, instability, and forcing
    to not only persist on their journey northeastward up the front,
    but thrive.

    CAMs guidance shows the storms likely consolidating as they
    approach the GA/SC border into a line along the advancing cold
    front to the west, with clusters moving ahead of the line. This
    could lead to areas seeing prolonged durations of heavy rainfall
    through this afternoon from Augusta northeastward to near
    Charlotte. The good news is guidance shows that by the 00Z ending
    of this discussion, the storms should be progressive enough as
    they move into eastern NC and SC that the flood threat should
    diminish a bit by then.

    Meanwhile, further southwest, additional storms moving into the
    eastern Florida Panhandle from the Gulf, and addressed by MPD 924
    will continue moving into extreme southeastern Alabama near
    Dothan, and then into southwestern Georgia. Soils are a mix of
    saturated and dry across southwestern Georgia due to spotty
    showers and thunderstorms over the past few days. So the flash
    flooding threat for the southern part of the area is more
    conditional. Plentiful moisture and instability are in place there
    as well, and the cold front is having no trouble advancing to the
    Gulf Coast, so there are no obvious reasons that heavy rain will
    have any trouble forming in these areas. The flash flooding threat
    may therefore be more driven on whether the storms that impact the
    area move over soils that are already saturated from prior days'
    storms in flooding prone areas.

    Areas affected...I-95 Corridor of Virginia and Maryland

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

    Valid 022206Z - 030200Z

    SUMMARY...Additional rounds of storms moving north up I-95 could
    cause flash flooding, particularly in urban areas for the next few
    hours.

    DISCUSSION...Multiple clusters of storms that have been moving
    north across the Mid-Atlantic this afternoon have generally only
    been producing rainfall rates to 2 inches per hour. This trend
    will continue with a new batch of storms that has passed through
    Richmond. Portions of the DC area have seen up to 2 inches of rain
    so far today. As the next round of storms moves through,
    additional rainfall amounts to 2 inches are possible, as well as
    any additional storms developing off to the west which may impact
    the urban areas could locally add further to those totals.

    Despite the storms, PWATs remain downright tropical across the
    Mid-Atlantic with values on SPC Mesoanalysis in a tongue to 2.3
    inches extending across much of eastern Virginia and up to the DC
    area. PWATs decrease considerably going up the Delaware River past
    Wilmington with PWATs in Philly around 1.75 inches. Meanwhile,
    instability analysis shows MUCAPE values remaining in the 1,000 to
    2,000 J/kg range from about Baltimore south. It's in this area
    that where storms move over urban areas such as the DC Metro that
    additional flash flooding could occur into the evening. Past
    Wilmington, much like PWATs, instability rapidly decreases up
    towards Philadelphia.

    CAMS guidance shows at least one more round of storms, with
    potential for smaller clusters in the meantime, to continue to
    track off to the north from the Richmond area towards the DC and
    Baltimore metros through 02Z/10pm ET. With up to 2 inch/hour rates
    possible with these storms added to the rain that has already
    fallen in the area, flash flooding will remain possible.

    Areas affected...Lower Great Lakes and Central Appalachians

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

    Valid 022314Z - 030400Z

    SUMMARY...Clusters of thunderstorms ahead of a front over the
    Great Lakes will continue to produce localized flash flooding
    across the Central Appalachians into this evening.

    DISCUSSION...A large and dynamic storm system moving into the
    central Appalachians this evening continues to produce
    thunderstorms ahead of the low center near Erie, PA. A tongue of
    instability is noted on SPC Mesoanalysis extending into western
    Pennsylvania and western New York. Bulk shear vectors are out of
    the southwest at 30 kts. PWATs in the area are generally between
    1.5 and 2 inches. This has allowed the clusters of storms to
    produce flash flooding along the spine of the Appalachians in
    northeastern Pennsylvania, and in widely scattered locations from
    Pittsburgh south into West Virginia.

    CAMs guidance shows the storms will continue congealing along the
    front in northwestern Pennsylvania and western New York over the
    next few hours, while more topographically enhanced convection
    continues from northeastern Pennsylvania into central New York.
    The two areas of storms begin to fill in across the Finger Lakes
    region of western New York. FFGs are particularly low along the
    spine of the Appalachians from southwest Pennsylvania through
    south-central New York and the Catskills. It is in these areas
    where continued shower and thunderstorm activity over the next few
    hours is expected to continue producing localized flash flooding.
    The Finger Lakes region into central New York has a bit higher
    FFGs (above 1.5 in/hr), and with a local minimum of rainfall
    expected there, flash flooding instances will be much more
    isolated there.

    Urban and small stream flooding in urban areas including Buffalo
    and Scranton are most likely, as well as in flood prone areas
    where the topography acts to enhance flash flooding severity.

    Areas affected...Northern Mid-Atlantic Coast into Southwest New
    England...

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

    Valid 030245Z - 030830Z

    SUMMARY...Ongoing very efficient tropical showers will be
    reinforced with upstream redevelopment through the early overnight
    period as warm front lifts into Northeast. Rates of 1.5-2"/hr and
    repeating potential (2-3" totals) across Megalopolis urban zone
    likely to induce localized flash flooding concerns overnight.

    DISCUSSION...GOES-E WV suite shows core of remaining mid-level
    closed low centered over the Ontario Peninsula with a long ribbon
    of remaining moisture in the positive tilt trough through the
    Cumberland Plateau into northern AL. A slight cyclonic bump and
    AMV winds suggests the shortwave is further consolidating before
    wobbling northeastward later toward morning. However, this is
    directing the very moist southern-stream smaller shortwave
    features northeastward along the Atlantic coast with a smaller
    wave entering NJ supporting remaining activity that affected
    Maryland this evening. RAP analysis suggests much of the
    instability has been worked over with a localized minimum of
    remaining 500 J/kg of MUCAPE associated with the wave and still
    supporting cells capable of a quick 1-1.5" rates totals as they
    move through the Delaware River Valley.

    Further upstream another wave can be seen across the eastern
    Carolinas also lifting north. CIRA LPW denotes a slug of enhanced
    850-700mb moisture along and ahead of it; but with upstream flow,
    this wave appears to be driving the warm front further north over
    the next few hours with surface temps into the upper 70s and low
    80s and even greater moisture with Total PWats of 2.25 increasing
    to near 2.5"; however, the warm front will lift more traditionally
    through LI into southern New England with increased moisture
    convergence with warm sector MLCAPEs of 1500-2000 J/kg helping to
    have more surface rooted convection developing and reaching the
    area toward 07z. However, elevated convective cores will
    translate through ahead of the front with 1-1.5"/hr rates; but the
    concern is along the western edge where upstream approach of
    height-falls is countered by the strengthening onshore flow from
    the southeast. The warm front will effective stall and remain
    fairly parallel to the Chesapeake Bay/Delaware River Valley, but
    also steepen with solid moisture flux convergence along it. As
    such, additional upstream development along/ahead of the southern
    stream shortwave will have opportunity for training/repeating.
    Instability gradient will be in proximity but overall availability
    for stronger updraft strength remains a bit more uncertain.
    Nonetheless, even weak tropical showers with increasing 25-30kts
    of confluent LLJ flow along the frontal zone with ample deep layer
    moisture may support rates of 1.5-2"/hr. However, with the
    strengthened low to mid-level southerly flow will increase cell
    motions and should reduce residency times. As such, localized
    streaks of 2-3" totals can be expected.

    The efficiency of the shallow convective showers and proximity to
    broad urban zones as well as terrain in NW NJ and into the
    Catskills of NY, may be the driving factor for rapid inundation
    even though showers may be moving through quickly. As such,
    scattered incidents of flash flooding is considered possible
    overnight for much of the Megalopolis from Wilmington, DE through
    CT/RI.

    Areas affected...South Central Upstate New York...Central to
    Northeast Pennsylvania...

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

    Valid 030340Z - 030800Z

    SUMMARY...Strong dynamics/moisture flux remains but with reduced
    instability overall coverage and intensity will be significantly
    reducing with time. However, ongoing clusters capable of
    additional 1-2" through saturated soils keeps flash flooding risk
    possible overnight.

    DISCUSSION...GOES-E WV suite depicts upstream 70kt jet streak
    rounding the western side of sharpening mid-level closed low.
    This will help to concentrated vorticity as it rounds the base of
    the trough providing solid dPVA and right entrance broad scale
    ascent pattern overnight across Upstate New York into central PA.
    As such, LLJ remains solid at 30+kts with upstream/sharpening
    trough along mid-level trough and advancing cold front out of
    western NY. Given total PWats in the 1.75-2" range any ongoing
    cells will remain efficient if convergence remains strong to
    overcome the overall stabilizing environment downstream.

    A solid cluster with bowing features just east of State College to
    Altoona is showing signs of further weakening though there is some upstream/back-building parallel to the mean flow, in addition, it
    also has a trajectory toward areas of earlier heavy rainfall that
    resulted in broad flash flooding from Lycoming to Broome counties
    in PA/NY where FFG values are below 1" even for 3-6hr and hourly
    FFG values are less than .5-.75" for much of the stretch,
    suggesting any intense rainfall could re-trigger flooding
    conditions fairly easily.

    Further northwest along the cold front/mid-level trough axis,
    there is some remaining 250-600 J/kg of MUCAPE and southwest to
    northeast deep layer flow has shown a history of narrow but
    elongated banding parallel to the boundary to Cattaragus to
    Steuben/Livingston county that allows for 1-1.5"/hr rates and
    30-90 minutes of residency for some spots up to 2". Flash
    flooding would be highly focused and likely on the lower-end of
    impact, but still remains non-zero given overall moisture/dynamic
    environment for at least a few more hours. As such, localized
    flash flooding remains possible.

    SUMMARY...Repeating highly efficient tropical warm showers capable
    of 2-2.5"/hr and streaks of additional 2-4"+ along the I-95
    Megalopolis corridor likely to maintain flash flooding concerns
    through daybreak.

    DISCUSSION...GOES-E WV shows impressive dynamics with upper-low
    over the Lower Great Lakes with solid hints of west to east

    925-700mb running between 35 and 45kts. This is also expanding
    vertically with 3H jet streak along the southeast quadrant of the
    upper-low expected to expand toward 100-120kts by 12z with
    broadening right entrance ascent pattern along the coastal region.

    High theta-E air off the Atlantic, with strengthening flow has
    also tightened the instability gradient with spots of 1500-2000
    J/kg of SBCAPE across the Delmarva expanding with the high
    moisture south of the warm front to over 1000-1250 J/kg in S New
    England. Warm conveyor moisture plume gradient is tightening with
    the height-falls to the west, but axis remains along the Eastern
    Seaboard with 2.25"+ reaching Long Island with up to 2.5" still
    further south.

    Surface analysis denotes a stronger pressure trof from the lower
    Hudson Valley through new Jersey and into the Chesapeake Bay, this
    appears to be the old warm front or at least western edge of the
    Atlantic stream of moisture and has been (and likely to remain)
    the focus of continued low level convergence and convective
    development as each southern stream shortwave pulses northward
    providing that subtle but sufficient developmental kick. The
    ample moisture should allow for efficient heavy rainfall
    production, with hourly rates of 2-2.5"/hr. However, cell motions
    will likely continue to increase with the strengthening deep layer
    flow likely limiting residency of any given core; however, with
    these pulses, repeating is highly probable with only a slight
    eastward motion due to the parent system's slow eastward march.
    As such, streaks of 2-4"+ are continued to be likely along the
    I-95 corridor expanding into far SE Maine toward 12-14z. Given
    broad urban areas as well as some complex terrain/hills in N NJ/W
    MA...there will likely be incidents of flash flooding/rapid
    inundation through early morning hours.

    Areas affected...far northern Mid-Atlanitc into Northeast

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

    Valid 031432Z - 031900Z

    SUMMARY...The threat of flash flooding will continue over far
    eastern PA into NJ, southern NY into portions of southern and
    central New England into the afternoon. Potential will exist for
    an additional 2 to 4+ inches through 19Z before a cold front
    begins to end the flash flood threat from west to east.

    DISCUSSION...14Z radar imagery showed a broken axis of showers and thunderstorms extending from southern NJ into Long Island and
    southeastern New England. An embedded low to mid-level vorticity
    axis was located over southern ME with another weaker vorticity
    max over southwestern NJ near the eastern shore of the Delaware
    Bay, each associated with a relative surge in rainfall intensity,
    although the vorticity max over ME is moving into a more stable
    environment. Areas of flash flooding were ongoing across the
    northern Mid-Atlantic into the Northeast with MRMS-estimated
    rainfall of about 2-4 inches over the past 6-12 hours.

    14Z surface observations showed a slow moving cold front extending
    from central NY into east-central PA, preceded by impressive
    moisture with 2.0 to 2.5 inch PW values from the PA/NJ border into southern/coastal New England, along with roughly 500-1500 J/kg
    MLCAPE. Aloft, a strengthening 100+ kt jet streak was located over
    northern PA into central NY, placing enhanced upper level
    divergence over the northern Mid-Atlantic into southern New
    England.

    Areas of flash flooding are likely to continue as waves of heavier
    rainfall continue to generate heavy rain over the region with
    unidirectional southwesterly flow supporting areas of training at
    times. Despite the relatively weak instability, high moisture will
    compensate to help support hourly rainfall of 1 to 2 inches
    (locally higher possible). Some modest strengthening of the upper
    level jet streak is expected through the early afternoon but
    forward progression of the cold front is expected to mark the
    western edge of the flash flood threat as the boundary advances
    eastward into the early afternoon. Stripes of an additional 2 to 4
    inches of rain (locally higher) are expected to maintain scattered
    areas of flash flooding with enhanced impacts over the urban I-95
    corridor.

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

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

    Valid 311810Z - 010010Z

    SUMMARY...Thunderstorms developing this afternoon will impact the
    high terrain of south-central CO down through central and
    northeast NM. This will include the Sangre De Cristo Range and
    Sacramento Mountains where there will be a threat for burn scar
    flash flooding.

    DISCUSSION...The latest GOES-E GeoColor satellite imagery shows
    just the early stages of convective initiation across the higher
    terrain of the central and southern Rockies, with an emphasis on
    the Sangre De Cristo Range and to some extent the Sacramento
    Mountains.

    Strong diurnal heating and increasing boundary layer instability
    near and adjacent to the high terrain will couple with some modest
    vort energy near the CO/NM border to help facilitate the
    development of thunderstorm activity going through the afternoon
    hours. SBCAPE values have locally increased to over 1000 J/kg, but
    this will be increasing over the next few hours. PWs across the
    region are forecast to increase a bit over the next several hours
    as a combination mid-level monsoonal moisture and some
    post-frontal low-level east to northeast flow helps to increase
    values.

    The 12Z HREF/REFS suite of model guidance suggests convection will
    initiate over the high terrain and also impact some of the
    immediate High Plains over the next several hours. The Sangre De
    Cristo Range in particular, and to a lesser extent the Sacramento
    Mountains will be the primary targets for the heaviest QPF. This
    will be aided by stronger orographic ascent/upslope flow.

    Rainfall rates will be capable of reaching 1 to 2 inches/hour with
    the strongest and more terrain-focused cells. Localized
    persistence of these thunderstorms going through the afternoon
    hours will support a potential for some spotty 2 to 3+ inch
    rainfall totals.

    This will drive a concern in particular for burn scar flash
    flooding, and also perhaps for some of the normally dry washes.
    Multiple burn scars in the Sangre De Cristo Range, including the
    Aspen Acres burn area, along with multi-year burn scars in the
    Sacramento Mountains will be at greatest risk for seeing flash
    flooding impacts and potential debris flow activity.

    Areas affected...Upper Peninsula of Michigan

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

    Valid 311914Z - 312300Z

    SUMMARY...A nearly stationary lake boundary has become the focal
    point for a line of showers and thunderstorms. Flash flooding will
    be possible as hourly rates exceed 2 in/hr at times.

    DISCUSSION...A convergence zone primarily off Lake Michigan has
    formed over the Upper Peninsula this afternoon. This has resulted
    in a nearly stationary line of storms that has developed from
    southeast of Marquette towards the southern Lake Michigan
    shoreline, then extends towards Sault Ste. Marie. Radar estimated
    rainfall rates with a few of the storms are already exceeding 1.5
    inches per hour. SPC Mesoanalysis shows a "bubble" of both higher
    instability (2,000 J/kg) and higher PWATs (to 1.8 inches) over the
    eastern U.P., so it appears likely that additional convective
    development will occur both due to lake convergence and cold pools
    through this afternoon.

    There is considerable uncertainty further west on the U.P. towards
    the Wisconsin border due to less instability, less moisture, and
    stratiform rain on the northernmost extent of the comma-head
    region of the storm likely restraining much additional instability
    from forming, if for no other reason than due to thick cloud
    cover. Conversely, cloud cover remains much higher over the
    eastern U.P. Thus, despite some CAMs guidance suggesting storms
    will develop southwestward towards Wisconsin, that solution
    remains highly uncertain.

    Areas affected...Eastern Iowa & Portions of the Upper Mississippi
    Valley

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

    Valid 312220Z - 010400Z

    SUMMARY... Multiple rounds of storms will track across eastern
    Iowa through the evening. Portions of eastern Iowa were hit with
    multiple inches of rain this morning, making them more flood
    prone. Flash flooding likely.

    DISCUSSION... A large vertically stacked low centered over central
    Iowa this afternoon will track southeastward towards south-central
    Iowa into this evening. Widely scattered storms have developed in
    waves/lines across eastern Iowa in the dry slot of the large upper
    level low. While this has limited convective coverage so far this
    afternoon, as the low wraps up, convection is likely to become
    more widespread across eastern Iowa through this evening.

    As the low tracks southeastward, much of eastern Iowa is starting
    out this afternoon in the warm sector of the storm, allowing
    instability in the nose of the warm sector ahead of the low to
    spike to between 1,000 and 2,000 J/kg based on SPC mesoanalysis.
    Moisture was never going to be a concern anywhere around the low
    as PWATs this afternoon are around 1.75 inches broadly. Convective
    coverage was always the concern.

    CAMs guidance suggests the convection ahead of the low will run
    into the comma-head region of the low with slowly southward moving
    storms. The area of greatest convergence over the next few hours
    appears to be around the Cedar Rapids area, which was near where
    the heaviest rains fell last night. Thus, it is in this area where
    the greatest potential for FFG exceedance exists and therefore
    where the greatest potential for renewed flash flooding will be.

    As the low continues eastward tonight, nearly steady light rains
    may continue to keep any flash flooding going through the
    overnight.

    Areas affected...Southern New Mexico

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

    Valid 010016Z - 010500Z

    SUMMARY...Numerous thunderstorms forming along a dying front have
    formed within the thermal low over New Mexico. Flash flooding is
    likely where the storms impact burn scars and narrow canyons.

    DISCUSSION...A dying front draped under a large upper level ridge
    aloft with a thermal low typical of summertime in the Southwest
    has resulted in numerous thunderstorms that have formed from far
    eastern Arizona through much of southern New Mexico to the Texas
    Panhandle. The storms have a history of producing 1-2 inch per
    hour rates in the strongest cells across southern New Mexico, with
    more frequent storms to that intensity with the southward moving
    line over eastern New Mexico.

    CAMs guidance suggests the storms will continue over southern New
    Mexico into this evening, then gradually dissipate with the loss
    of solar heating. The most organized convection will be with the
    line tracking south down the NM/TX border, with some of the storms
    crossing into the western Texas Panhandle. Meanwhile, the storms
    over southwestern New Mexico and far eastern Arizona will likely
    remain slow-moving, resulting in more localized flash flooding,
    but due to the slow movement, may end up producing more rain over
    the impacted areas than the storms further east, which are moving
    along fast enough to generally limit the time any one area sees
    heavy rain. That said, storms forming out ahead of the line across
    far western Texas could help keep any heavy rainfall continuing
    for a longer period of time in those localized areas.

    The greatest threats for flash flooding will be where the storms
    impact burn scars, narrow canyons, and any urban areas. Sudden
    onset flash flooding could occur in flood prone but normally dry
    low-lying areas, and with the loss of daylight, could be some of
    the most dangerous.

    Areas affected...Eastern Iowa...Southern Wisconsin...Northern &
    Central Illinois...

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

    Valid 010400Z - 010900Z

    SUMMARY...Isolated to widely scattered very slow moving convective
    cells capable of 1.5"/hr and spots of 2-3.5" total. Most
    locations this will be mainly beneficial due to slower rises, but
    intersection with urban locations, especially urban centers along
    Lake Michigan suggest possible incidents of flash flooding will
    remain possible overnight.

    DISCUSSION...GOES-E WV suite shows a classic well defined closed
    low cyclone over the Midwest centered in Eastern IA at this time,
    though there is a slight imbalance to the overall cyclone as core
    of vorticity in shifted along the northwest to western side of the
    centroid, about to round southeastward. This will increase dPVA
    across northern and central IL and sharpen the deformation zone
    though the mid-levels across far northeast IA, southern WI into
    northern Lake Michigan with combination of cool conveyor belt and
    western branch of the TROWAL/warm conveyor angling back northeast
    into the downshear outflow channel aloft. So solid divergence as
    the 60kts jet rounds the base of the larger scale trof within the
    left exit in S WI/N IL will allow for continued deep layer
    moisture convergence and ascent for prolonged moderate showers.

    Twenty to 25 kts of southeasterly confluent flow through the
    ascent plain also resides in the axis of enhanced moisture with
    TPW remaining at or just below 2" so flux convergence remains
    solid. While instability is the limiting factor, there is still
    some 250-600 J/kg of MUCAPE along and east of the cyclone center
    across E IA into N IL to allow for embedded shallow convective
    cores with the capability of 1-1.5"/hr rates. Slow, convergent
    translation of those cores in the prolonged moderate rain shield
    suggest localized 2-3.5" totals over the next few hours.

    Further south, due to the rounding vorticity center, low level
    flow has backed slightly across NW IL, nearer to the remaining
    instability axis where SBCAPEs still remain about 750-1000 J/kg
    per RAP analysis through the MS River Valley. As such, a new band
    of thunderstorms is developing and slowly advancing eastward into
    NW IL. As dPVA increases and low-level flow increases by 5-10kts,
    flux convergence may support spots of 1.5-1.7"/hr rates given they
    reside at the best divergence aloft north of the jet streak, spots
    of 2-3.5" are possible too across N IL through 09z.
    However, initial band along/advanced of the surface warm front in
    central IL remains progressive, though with deeper/stronger
    convective capabilities. Intersection of those cells with urban
    locations will be the only concern for FF, but will also be more
    fleeting temporally given forward propagation. Still, it remains a
    non-zero risk and is included.

    Overall, the hydrological environment will likely uptake much of
    the slower rates as beneficial in the longer run, but FFG remain
    lower in E IA with 2-2.5"/6hrs suggest flooding may still be a
    concern, as well as through larger urban corridors from Milwaukee
    through Chicagoland...where even 1.5"/hr rates would be concerning
    especially if 2-3hr totals get over 3". All in all, flash
    flooding risk is reducing in overall areal coverage overnight, but
    there will remain a good possibility of FFG exceedance in isolated
    to widely scattered manner across the area of concern.

    Areas affected...Northern IL...Northwest IN

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

    Valid 011039Z - 011630Z

    SUMMARY...Some bands of heavy showers and thunderstorms expanding
    in coverage across northern IL this morning may result in some
    areas of flash flooding. This will include potential impacts to
    the Chicago metropolitan area.

    DISCUSSION...The early morning GOES-E IR satellite imagery shows
    cooling convective tops aligning itself in a general north/south
    fashion across portions of northern IL. The activity is focusing
    generally around the eastern flank of a deep layer low center,
    with a relatively focused axis of strong low to mid-level moisture
    convergence while also coinciding with a corridor of deeper layer
    ascent.

    Divergent flow aloft with DPVA in place is seen working in tandem
    with the nose of modest instability (MUCAPE values ~500 J/kg) for
    convection that more recently is showing some capability to
    locally train over the same area. Overall the environment is very
    efficient though for high rainfall rates, with OSPO ALPW showing
    deep moisture through the vertical column, and suggestive of a
    tall, skinny CAPE profile.

    IR satellite images show a bit of a convective wedge signature
    west of the Chicago metropolitan area which suggests a divergent
    flow pattern aloft coinciding with sustainable cold-topped
    convection for at least the near-term. Rainfall rates with the
    convection are likely to reach 1.5+ inches/hour with the stronger
    cells, and with some backbuilding/training cell potential in
    place, there may be some rainfall amounts through late-morning
    that approach 2 to 4 inches.

    These rains may get into the Chicago metropolitan area over the
    next couple of hours and promote an urban flash flood threat. Area
    streamflows across northern IL are generally on the high side as
    it is, so areas even away from the city across northern IL may see
    at least localized flash flooding with this morning's rainfall. It
    is also possible based on some of the latest hires CAMs that some
    of this heavy convective rainfall threat could focus farther
    southeast and build into areas of far northwest IN, so these
    adjacent areas to the southeast of Chicago will also need to be
    monitored.

    Areas affected...Middle TN

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

    Valid 011120Z - 011600Z

    SUMMARY...Locally backbuilding and training showers and
    thunderstorms will continue to foster at least a short-term threat
    for mainly urban flash flooding this morning.

    DISCUSSION...The latest GOES-E IR satellite imagery shows a
    cold-topped convective cluster across central TN, with radar and
    satellite images showing some recent backbuilding and
    cell-training characteristics. The convection is focusing out
    ahead of a warm front that is gradually approaching the region
    along with a deeper pool of moisture and instability.

    Warm air advection and relatively divergent flow aloft combined
    with an axis of stronger moisture convergence may tend to support
    this activity maintaining itself at least for the next few hours.
    The nose of a 30 to 40+ kt west-southwest low-level jet
    overrunning the upstream warm front will certainly foster an axis
    of relatively strong moisture transport that will encourage
    heavier rainfall rates.

    Favorable upwind propagation/Corfidi vectors at least over the
    next few hours will favor an elevated threat for backbuilding
    convective cells and cell-training. PWs are locally approaching
    2.25 inches across middle TN, and this coupled with MUCAPE values
    of 500 to 1000 J/kg will foster rainfall rates reaching over 1.5
    inches/hour with the stronger storms.

    Additional rainfall totals of 2 to 4 inches will be possible going
    through late this morning, and this may yield some additional
    areas of mainly urban flash flooding. This will include the
    Nashville metropolitan area where there has already been heavy
    rainfall over the last 90 minutes.

    Areas affected...Central IL...West-Central to Southern IN

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

    Valid 011658Z - 012245Z

    SUMMARY...Developing and expanding bands showers and thunderstorms
    this afternoon will be capable of high rainfall rates. This
    coupled locally slow cell-motions and cell-training will likely
    result in areas of flash flooding.

    DISCUSSION...The latest GOES-E satellite imagery shows a deep
    layer cyclone continue to drift east-southeast toward the Lower OH
    Valley. Southerly low-level moisture transport along with the nose
    of at least modest instability will continue to ride northward up
    around the eastern flank of the low center. This will work in
    tandem with DPVA and the diurnal heating cycle to promote the
    development and expansion of bands of convection going through the
    afternoon hours.

    Already the latest radar imagery shows a broken axis of heavy
    showers and thunderstorms across central IL just to the north of
    the 700/500 mb low center and pivoting in a general east to west
    fashion with some cell-training concerns. As the boundary layer
    destabilizes further across areas of west-central to southern IN,
    more banded structures of convection are expected to develop here
    which will likely become aligned with the deeper layer cyclonic
    flow and be capable of training over the same area.

    MLCAPE values have risen to between 500 and 1000 J/kg across
    central and southern IN, with the northwest edge of this getting
    pulled back into at least eastern IL. PWs meanwhile are generally
    near 1.75 inches, which is being tempered actually a little bit by
    a mid-level dry slot riding up across central and southern IN.
    Regardless, the threat for concentrated bands of convection should
    tend to increase over the next few hours from an increase in
    instability and deeper layer ascent around the eastern and
    northern flanks of the mid-level low center.

    The environment supports rainfall rates of 1 to 2 inches/hour
    within these bands of convection, and the latest hires CAMs as a
    consensus suggest corridors of heavy rainfall totals reaching 2 to
    4 inches with spotty 5+ inch amounts not out of the question.
    Generally, this is likely to result in some areas of flash
    flooding and especially where cell-training is maximized. The
    threat will be more near-term across areas of central IL, but
    should develop over time across west-central and southern IN.

    Areas affected...Northern FL...Southern GA

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

    Valid 011730Z - 012330Z

    SUMMARY...Locally broken areas of heavy showers and thunderstorms
    with slow cell-motions will pose a threat for some pockets of
    flash flooding going into the early evening hours.

    DISCUSSION...The latest radar imagery shows broken bands of
    convection impacting portions of the FL Panhandle eastward across
    northern FL with some of this activity edging into southern GA.
    There has been enough convective activity that a cold pool has
    become established across the FL Panhandle and adjacent waters of
    the northeast Gulf of America. The leading edge of this is
    expected to advance off to the east-northeast this afternoon
    across northern FL and adjacent areas of southern GA.

    MLCAPE values across these areas are on the order of 2000 to 3000
    J/kg with PWs near 2 inches. This will foster convection capable
    of producing rainfall rates of 2 to 3 inches/hour with the
    stronger convective elements as the convective mass advances off
    to the east-northeast. The convection across northern FL and
    southern GA will generally be a mix of pulse and multicell
    activity, but the cell-motions are expected to be rather slow.

    Some localized outflow boundary collisions may may foster new
    convective development and potential for cell-mergers as well over
    the next several hours. Rainfall amounts may locally reach 3 to 5
    inches where these cell-mergers or any localized cell-training
    occurs. A localized and generally urban flash flood threat will
    exist as a result since the FFGs are generally quite high across
    the region.

    Areas affected...New Mexico

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

    Valid 011900Z - 020100Z

    SUMMARY...Convection forming over the Sangre de Cristos and
    Sacramento Mountains this afternoon have the potential to produce
    flash flooding over urban areas, burn scars, and slot canyons as
    the storms track southward.

    DISCUSSION...Localized flash flooding is possible this afternoon
    as convection that has developed over the Sangre de Cristos and
    the San Juan mountains gradually shift off the mountains towards
    the south. Urban areas such as Santa Fe, as well as any burn scars
    and slot canyons have the potential for flash flooding as the
    convection tracks near those flood prone areas.

    Moisture across much of New Mexico remains high as PWATs around 1
    inch have moved across the southern and eastern portions of the
    state. A convergence zone has set up along a north-south boundary
    where southeasterly flow out of Texas is advecting both higher
    moisture and instability between 1,000 and 2,000 J/kg into central
    New Mexico. The storms have have formed are producing rainfall
    rates of 1-1.5 inches per hour in the strongest cores, and with
    numerous flood prone areas in the vicinity of those cores, from
    canyons to burn scars, flash flooding is possible.

    Convection has started to form off the Sacramento mountains as
    well in southern New Mexico. The convergence over that area is
    more stark with easterly flow approaching the Sacramentos from the
    east and westerly flow from the west. Neither flow is particularly
    strong, but the combination of that wind convergence and the
    Sacramento mountains themselves could lead to more robust
    convective development over the next few hours, in areas that are
    also highly prone to flash flooding, such as around Ruidoso.

    Areas affected...Texas Hill Country

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

    Valid 012002Z - 020200Z

    SUMMARY...Scattered showers and storms developing along and ahead
    of a cold front over central Texas could cause storms capable of
    producing flash flooding into early this evening. Flash flooding
    possible.

    DISCUSSION... A cold front slowly pushing south across the Texas
    Hill Country is beginning to provide the forcing for scattered
    showers and storms to develop. These storms are in a very
    favorable environment. SBCAPE values are over 3,000 J/kg near Del
    Rio, with over 2,000 J/kg CAPE across the rest of the discussion
    area. PWATs are over 2 inches for the eastern half of the area and
    over 1.75 inches closer to the Rio Grande. With the front
    providing the forcing, and ample moisture and instability in
    place, expect continued upscale growth in the convection as it
    forms along and south of I-10, and presses south towards the
    Balcones Escarpment. Much of the Texas Hill Country is highly
    susceptible to flash flooding. Thus, even though rainfall rates
    are well below FFGs now, the upscale growth of the storms could
    make up for that difference, resulting in flash flooding both
    under the storm and immediately downstream in the impacted river
    basins.

    CAMs guidance is mixed about the potential for flash flooding.
    Some of the guidance such as the HRRR is quite lackluster in its
    presentation of the expected storms over the next several hours.
    Meanwhile the RRFS, FV3, and ARW2 are all quite robust in their
    depictions of the convective activity. The HRRR was thrown out as
    it has been vastly underdoing the convective coverage so far
    today, and with new activity now developing from Del Rio east
    through Kerrville, it appears the wetter solutions are in much
    better position to verify. When adding the very favorable
    environment the storms have been forming in, and the front
    continuing to press south, keeping the forcing favorable, expect
    convective coverage to continue increasing. This in turn will
    allow flash flooding potential to also continue increasing into
    this evening.

    Areas affected...Alabama through Eastern Kentucky

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

    Valid 012044Z - 020230Z

    SUMMARY...A line of training thunderstorms has formed in a highly
    unstable and moisture rich environment from northern Alabama
    through Eastern Kentucky. Flash flooding likely.

    DISCUSSION...A series of lines of thunderstorm cells are setting
    up across northern Alabama and eastern Tennessee this afternoon.
    These storms are moving northeastward as the lines they are
    embedded in move east, thus allowing for some limited training.
    Across Alabama, SPC Mesoanalysis shows SBCAPE values close to
    5,000 J/kg near the Mississippi border near Hamilton, Alabama. The
    nose of instability extends into central Tennessee and Kentucky
    with SBCAPE values around 3,000 J/kg. Southwesterly flow ahead of
    the advancing cold front is advecting plentiful moisture
    northeastward ahead of the front, allowing the storms to blossom
    in coverage as they track off towards the northeast. There are a
    few segments where the storms have done a better job merging west
    of Knoxville, but it's likely that these storms will congeal into
    a solid line or two over the next few hours. For now, the storms
    are only producing rainfall rates up to an inch per hour, but as
    they organize in this highly unstable and moisture-rich
    environment, expect the rates in the strongest cores to rapidly
    increase. Rainfall rates will be highly dependent on the speed of
    the storms, despite expected high instantaneous rainfall rates.
    Local rates will approach 3 inches per hour, with isolated rates
    to 4 inches per hour where cell mergers and cold pools locally
    slow the movement of any stronger cores.

    Urban areas such as Birmingham, Chattanooga, and Knoxville are
    likely to be impacted by storms capable of producing heavy
    rainfall over the next several hours. These urban areas will have
    a greater risk of flash flooding as a result. Meanwhile, low-lying
    and particularly flood prone areas, especially into northwest
    Georgia, eastern Tennessee, and eastern Kentucky where terrain
    becomes a significant factor could also see localized flash
    flooding in a few hours as the storms move through.

    CAMs guidance suggests there will be a single concrete line of
    storms on the western end of any convection associated with the
    approaching cold front. However, scattered segments of storms are
    likely to continue forming out ahead of the main line, seemingly
    at random. Areas that are hit with multiple rounds of heavy rain
    in quick succession will also be susceptible to localized flash
    flooding into this evening.

    Areas affected...Central South Carolina and Eastern Georgia

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

    Valid 012122Z - 020200Z

    SUMMARY...Clusters of storms with a history of rainfall rates over
    3 inches per hour will continue to press slowly east across South
    Carolina into this evening. Flash flooding likely as the storms
    continue over urban areas, and heavy rains overwhelm the dry soils.

    DISCUSSION... Numerous showers and thunderstorms have been ongoing
    across central South Carolina and portions of eastern Georgia this
    afternoon. Due to high FFGs in the area, most storms have been
    unable to exceed them so far this afternoon. However, due to the
    storms' slow motions, plentiful moisture with PWATs over 2.25
    inches along the SC/GA border, instability between 2,000 and 3,000
    J/kg of MUCAPE, and interactions with some urban areas, the flash
    flooding potential has continued to increase.

    The storms have generally been moving very slowly across South
    Carolina this afternoon. Meanwhile, with a deep tropical air mass
    in place, southeasterly flow off the Atlantic continuing to
    replenish the atmospheric moisture lost to rainfall, and
    interaction with some urban areas, the storms have continued to
    grow upscale as they interact with cold pools in the area.

    CAMs guidance suggest the storms will continue to persist for the
    next few hours, then gradually diminish in coverage and intensity
    over central and eastern South Carolina this evening due to loss
    of solar heating and the storms using up the available
    instability.

    Areas affected...Southwestern New Mexico

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

    Valid 012209Z - 020200Z

    SUMMARY... Clusters of thunderstorms are moving south over
    southwestern New Mexico. These storms have a history of rainfall
    rates to 1.5 inches per hour. Burn scars and slot canyons
    scattered about southwestern New Mexico will likely see additional
    flash flooding.

    DISCUSSION...A cluster of storms that formed over the Gila
    National Forest has been tracking southward parallel to the
    Arizona border this afternoon. The storms have formed as a result
    of a thermal low and a front that are draped along the Mexican
    border. Weak upper level shortwave energy tracking south along the
    eastern side of a large upper level high centered over Southern
    California has likely also contributed to the storms' development.

    As the storms push southward, they will move over other vulnerable
    areas in southwestern New Mexico, particularly any burn scars and
    slot canyons over the area. This area has been hit repeatedly over
    the past few days, so the level of flash flooding in those canyons
    is likely to be similar as the storms on previous days.

    Meanwhile further east, a single storm cell is tracking over
    extreme western Texas, just to the north of El Paso. This storm
    too has a history of producing localized flash flooding. The storm
    will move towards the metro, likely impacting the northern and
    western suburbs over the next hour or so. Urban flash flooding
    from this storm is also possible.

    Areas affected...Portions of Indiana and Ohio

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

    Valid 012300Z - 020500Z

    SUMMARY...Training thunderstorms will cause additional flash
    flooding over portions of the Ohio Valley into this evening.

    DISCUSSION...A complex of strong thunderstorms tracking across
    eastern Indiana this evening will continue to push north and
    eastward into this evening. The storms have a history of rainfall
    rates to 3 inches per hour, and they will likely maintain that
    intensity for the next few hours, especially over portions of
    eastern Indiana to the northeast of Indianapolis.

    A strong low near Indianapolis is moving ESE across central
    Indiana. Ahead of the low a strong occluded front is forcing a
    strong line of storms, which extends well south into Kentucky.
    These storms are approaching Dayton and Cincinnati. They will move
    through over the next hour or so, with urban and small stream
    flash flooding possible.

    More consequently, the storms that are currently near I-70 between
    the Ohio border and Indianapolis are expected to struggle to move
    too much further north, as the low center tracks ESE. This will
    make for a scenario where the storms become nearly stationary,
    likely extending in a line that orients NE to SW. HREF flash flood
    exceedance guidance in eastern Indiana shows that there is a 60%
    chance of exceeding 3 hrly FFGs through 00Z, staying above 40% in
    a portion of eastern Indiana through 03Z, then above 20% through
    06Z. This follows with the loss of daytime heating that the storms
    should weaken with time.

    SPC Mesoanalysis over Ohio shows PWATs over 1.8 inches over much
    of the discussion area, with a nose of MLCAPE exceeding 2,000 J/kg
    over the same area. This will support the line of storms entering
    western Ohio to maintain itself, which is well supported in the
    CAMs guidance. The further south one goes, the more progressive
    the storms will be, so the flash flooding threat towards the Ohio
    River should be lesser than areas further north towards Dayton and
    eventually Columbus. As the storms move into northern Ohio later
    this evening, FFGs increase considerably. The combination of those
    higher FFGs and weakening storms should begin to lessen the flash
    flooding threat.

    Areas affected...Southern New Mexico..Adj. Southeast
    Arizona/Western Texas...

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

    Valid 020150Z - 020630Z

    SUMMARY...A few more hours of slightly progressive, but intense
    rainfall producers additional 1-1.5" in 0-1hrs may result in
    isolated remaining new incident of localized flash flooding
    through 06z.

    DISCUSSION...GOES-E WV shows a shortwave at the tail end of the
    larger scale trough across the Great Lakes extending into the
    eastern edge of the western ridge aloft. This wave currently in
    east-central NM, extends a bit further westward due to convective
    feedback from earlier convection providing some increased, if
    generally weak organization to the convective line. Weak easterly
    to east-southeasterly moisture flux out of western Texas into
    southern NM as well as generally confluence into the developing
    850mb low over N Chihuahua has been providing sufficient moisture
    flux with 1.25-1.5" in the southern High Plains and 1-1.25" across
    SE AZ into S NM (higher values with greater vertical depth in the
    valleys, of course). However, it is the deep layer flow and
    convergence and remaining conditionally unstable air across the
    area of concern that will help to maintain the forward propagating
    complexes.

    Regional RADAR also, denotes outflow has been pretty solid ahead
    of the mid-level 850-700 convergence axis, allowing for some
    pre-convective line convergence to focus/redevelop new scattered
    cells in advance of the line as noted in Dona Ana and northeast
    Otero county and earlier in northern Chaves county. It is spots
    like this that will have greater potential for longer duration and
    totals nearing 1.5" in 1-1.5hrs; while overall deep moisture
    should support sub-hourly 1" totals along the length of the line.
    Given rocky/harder ground conditions and a few urban locales in
    the path of the line, there remains a possible chance for
    localized flash flooding conditions through the early overnight
    period. Instability will continue to diminish with cooling
    surface temperatures and cells will likely weaken through 05-07z
    ending the FF risk.

    Areas affected...West-Central Florida

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

    Valid 301550Z - 302050Z

    Summary...Slow-moving thunderstorms containing intense rainfall
    rates over 3"/hr are possible through this afternoon in
    west-central FL, including the greater Tampa Bay region. Localized
    rainfall amounts of 5-8+" may prompt urban flooding and ponding
    water over roadways.

    Discussion...Regional radar and satellite imagery across the FL
    Peninsula show a primary complex of thunderstorms gradually
    sinking southward near Tampa bay and extending eastward across the
    Peninsula. This is occurring within a very moist and unstable
    environment. The 12Z sounding out of TBW recorded a PW of 2.41"
    and MLCAPE of 2,015 J/kg. These are both near the daily max in
    climatology. Additionally, flow over the Gulf into the region will
    continue to advect instability into the region and allow for
    thunderstorm redevelopment for areas along the Gulf Coast of
    west-central FL through the afternoon.

    12Z HREF and REFS neighborhood probabilities for at least 5 inches
    of rain by 21Z are 40-60% from near Tampa eastward near and just
    south of I-4. Additionally, rainfall totals in the areas have been
    observed to exceed 2" within 30 mins and is enough to lead to at
    least urban flooding or ponding water on roadways. These rates are
    expected to continue through this afternoon, with rainfall totals
    potentially nearing or exceeding 8 inches within the most
    pronounced and slow-moving thunderstorms.

    Areas affected...Parts of northern South Dakota, southeast North
    Dakota, and northwest Minnesota

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

    Valid 301830Z - 310030Z

    Summary...Increasing coverage of slow-moving thunderstorms this
    afternoon from north-central South Dakota to northwest Minnesota
    are expected to contain rainfall rates up to 2-3"/hr at times.
    This may produce isolated to scattered instances of flash flooding
    through this evening.

    Discussion...GOES-E satellite imagery this afternoon shows cooling
    cloud-tops across parts of north-central SD into eastern ND. These
    developing thunderstorms are exhibiting slow forward propagation
    as wind profiles remain rather light (less than 10 kts) out of the
    south up until around 500mb. This southerly flow is also ushering
    in a very moist airmass with PWs between 1.8-2.2" and aided by a
    tightening mid-level circulation/vort max over western SD. These
    values are above the 90th climatological percentile in SD per
    30-yr CFSR climo for late-July to early August. Instability is
    also not lacking with SBCAPE values over 5000 J/kg along the
    border of southeast ND and MN (per SPC's mesoanalysis). A frontal
    boundary gradually sinking across northern ND into northwest MN
    will provide an additional focus for thunderstorm development,
    which may remain separated from ongoing activity across southeast
    ND into northern SD.

    Latest HRRR and RRFS highlight maximum rainfall amounts through
    01Z around 3-5" are possible. These 3"+ amounts are also supported
    by the 12Z HREF and REFS neighborhood probabilities ranging from
    20-60% in the region. A limiting factor for widespread flash
    flooding is the dry antecedent conditions, with NASA SPoRT-LIS
    0-40cm soil moisture below the 5th percentile for much of this
    area. However, rainfall rates of 2-3" within this highly moist and
    unstable environment could overcome this and produce rapid runoff,
    as well as urban flash flooding.

    Areas affected...northern/northeastern Wisconsin, portions of the
    upper peninsula of Michigan

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

    Valid 302042Z - 310042Z

    Summary...Spotty/isolated flash flood potential exists for a few
    hours this afternoon.

    Discussion...Scattered thunderstorms have developed across the
    discussion area and have a history of producing local rain rates
    to 3 inches/hr over the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. The storms
    continue to produce spots of 1.5-2 inch/hr rain rates (per MRMS)
    and are located within a pool of moderate instability (around 1500
    J/kg MLCAPE) along and just ahead of a composite convective/lake
    breeze boundary near the WI/MI border. PW values of 1.5-1.9 are
    supporting efficient rainfall processes within the storms, while
    modest mean flow aloft (around 15-20 knots) was fostering spots of
    convective backbuilding, enabling locally higher rain rates to
    develop. These rates (approaching 2 inches/hr) are approaching
    local FFG in a few areas, suggesting isolated potential for
    excessive runoff in spots in the short term.

    This risk will continue for another 2-4 hours or so. The upstream
    airmass across central/southwest WI is notably drier and less
    stable than the near-convective environment, suggesting that once
    ongoing activity exhausts the current pool of instability, storms
    (and flash flood potential) will diminish in intensity. The flash
    flood risk should exist on an isolated basis through at least
    00Z/7p central.

    Areas affected...portions of Arizona and New Mexico

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

    Valid 302211Z - 310211Z

    Summary...Isolated flash flooding cannot be ruled out across
    Arizona and New Mexico this afternoon and evening.

    Discussion...Strong insolation and mid-level moisture was
    promoting isolated to scattered thunderstorm development
    especially along terrain-favored ridgelines and peaks over the
    past couple hours. Development has been gradual, and is most
    concentrated across southwestern NM, with more isolated activity
    near Ruidoso in south-central NM and also along the Mogollon Rim
    in AZ. Storms are in a comparatively drier environment compared
    to recent monsoonal thunderstorm days (0.8-1.2 inch PW values),
    though MRMS was already indicating spotty rates of 1 inch/hr
    especially in southwestern NM with the activity due to slow storm
    movement. Flash flooding should be isolated this afternoon/early
    evening, and generally tied to locales that experience heavier
    rainfall atop burn scars and sensitive terrain/canyons in the
    region. Most of this threat should be diurnally driven, with a
    weakening trend in storms expected after around 02Z.

    Areas affected...eastern South Dakota into western Minnesota

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

    Valid 310047Z - 310647Z

    Summary...Flash flood potential will continue to spread eastward
    into southwestern Minnesota while persisting in much of South
    Dakota, though the duration and extent of this risk is uncertain.

    Discussion...A complicated surface pattern exists across the
    discussion area. A couple of maturing convective complexes exist:
    1) from just northwest of Benson, MN southwestward to near Huron
    and on to near Mobridge, SD and 2) a second, more quickly moving
    MCS from near Faith to near Phillip, SD. At their current pace,
    each of these complexes were expected to merge across central into
    east-central South Dakota, prolonging rain rates in areas that
    were already experiencing 1-3 inch/hr totals due to slow storm
    movement. These trends suggest a continued flash flood threat
    particularly with the lead MCS from near Huron to Mobridge given
    slow cell movement and potential for more than one round of heavy
    rainfall.

    Further complicating this pattern is the presence of subtle
    low-level drying downstream across Iowa and far southern
    Minnesota, which has resulted in negligible instability in those
    areas. Furthermore, a more mature, intense MCS over
    central/eastern Nebraska will stabilize the low-levels into
    south-central South Dakota via convective overturning. These
    factors will likely impact MCS maintenance/propagation over
    eastern South Dakota into western Minnesota, although the
    well-organized nature of the MCS in eastern South Dakota suggests
    at least another 3-5 hours of persistence along with slow eastward
    movement. Should 2-3 inch/hr rain rates continue to materialize
    (plausible given slow cell motions in some areas and 2.1+ inch PW
    values), areas of flash flooding will remain possible. Eastward
    maintenance of the convective complexes into southwestern
    Minnesota is expected, although persistence beyond State Highway
    15 in Minnesota remains uncertain. Flash flooding is expected on
    at least an isolated basis in this regime.

    Areas affected...Eastern SD...Southern MN...Northern IA...

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

    Valid 310630Z - 311200Z

    SUMMARY...Vertically stacking cyclone will have strong moisture
    flux convergence for slow moving thunderstorms near the center and
    along the steepening warm-air advective band(s) across S MN/N IA.
    Prolonged 1-1.25"/hr rates with occasional peaks near 2"/hr will
    support spots of 2-4", with possible highly localized spot or two
    up to 5". Incidents of focused flash flooding will be possible,
    especially near and east of the cyclone center.

    DISCUSSION...GOES-E WV suite and RAP analysis depict, older
    shortwave that translated out of the Rockies yesterday has stalled
    over SE SD and is starting to lift northward and merge with the
    larger scale shortwave that can be seen well near KPIR sliding in
    to replace it, providing a strong downstream zone of dPVA and deep
    layer cyclogenesis. At the surface, a strengthening 1007-8mb low
    in SE SD, appears to be slowly occluding as lead cold front is
    advancing upon warm front slow to leave the Missouri River Valley
    into western IA; the older northern-stream frontal zone is
    dropping a stronger cold front through central SD and through the
    Sand Hills that will continue to swing through the base as the
    main height-falls roll through over the next 4-6hrs; while return
    easterly flow across central MN is steepening the isentropes ahead
    of the advancing warm front, though with ample moisture in the
    upper 60s and low 70s aiding overall deep layer moisture in the
    region. Overall Total PWats along and east of the surface to 500mb
    trof axis (across E SD) are AoA 2.25" with strong directional
    convergence and with winds of 20-30kts from surface to 700mb.

    Moisture flux convergence will be key has overall instability
    environment continues to diminish with loss of heating. Warm
    sector/warm conveyor belt out of E NEB had be mixed over with
    initial convective line, but solid WAA across the warm front and
    into the back-shearing TROWAL toward the vertically stacking
    cyclone center will continue to maintain pockets of MUCAPE of
    500-1000 J/kg. This will allow for shallow, inner core convection
    across E SD into SW MN to have capability of up to 2"/hr though
    flare-ups of convection are likely to be short-lived, focused and
    transient to next strong convergence zone, though with limited
    cell motions, SHaRS-type intense localized rainfall for 1-2 hours
    may result in localized 2-4"+ totals and represent the best
    opportunities for flash flooding; though broad areas of 1-1.25"/hr
    will exist for prolonged periods due to isentropic ascent/mst flux
    convergence.

    Eastward, strong vertical ascent on those steepening isentropic
    boundary into south-central MN and northern IA will also have
    stronger vertical depth closer to the warm conveyor/instability
    axis. Rates of 1.5-2"/hr are likely to result in 2-3" totals
    closer to the slower cell motions near the cyclone pivot point,
    while further south into central IA may have reduced localized
    totals due to forward (west to east) cell motions to limit
    residency time.

    Hydrologically, the area has remained very dry with NASA SPoRT LIS
    0-40cm relative soil moisture values below 15% for much of the
    area of concern. If rates are hard enough, the soils could be
    more hydrophobic with run-off, but shield precipitation may help
    to soften them initially before heavier rates reach most areas.
    So hopefully, the slower rates will be more beneficial for most
    areas; however, those areas where the inner-core shallow but
    intense convective cores reach with 2-5" totals may result in
    localized incident or two of possible flash flooding.

    Areas affected...Eastern Kansas...Western Missouri...

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

    Valid 310950Z - 311250Z

    SUMMARY...Recent uptick of convective vigor and short-term
    training suggests a narrow window of possible 2-4" totals and
    possible localized flash flooding.

    DISCUSSION...GOES-E WV suite shows warming across SE SD and NE NEB
    as upstream shortwave is merging into larger scale closed low
    feature resulting in flattening of deep-layer flow across KS into
    MO. Simultaneously, outflow-boundary is pressing south, but
    orientating west to east across E KS with slightly backed
    southerly LLJ across E KS. RAP analysis shows instability axis
    along and downstream across SE KS and W MO with 1000-1500 J/kg of
    slightly capped MLCAPE. As such, the strengthened deep layer
    moisture convergence has recently resulted in stronger convective
    response over Jefferson and W Leavenworth county with tops cooling
    below -70C, while upstream development continues in the core of
    the LLJ in Shawnee county.

    CIRA LPW and RAP analysis show solid overlap of enhanced moisture
    through E KS with 2.25-2.5" total PWats. Given ample moisture and
    convective vigor, recent rainfall rates are pushing 2-2.25"/hr
    with length of potential training sufficient for 2-3"+ totals.
    Weak southeastward propagation as the meso-high/cold pool
    regenerates may deflect ideal training to reduce overall temporal
    and therefore eastward areal coverage, especially as local FFG
    values increase into central MO. However, with 1hr FFG values in
    the 1.5-2" range and 1.5-2.5"/3hr from Waubansee, KS to
    Cass/Johnson county in MO, there is a sufficient window for
    possible localized flash flooding over the next few hours.

    Areas affected...Portions of the Upper Midwest

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

    Valid 311147Z - 311745Z

    SUMMARY...Concerns for isolated and mainly urban flash flooding
    will exist across portions of the Upper Midwest going through
    midday.

    DISCUSSION...The early morning GOES-E IR satellite imagery shows a
    well-defined mid-level trough and associated closed 700/500mb low
    center across the Upper Midwest which is driving a regional area
    of heavy showers and thunderstorms. Much of the current activity
    is situated out ahead of a surface low and is elevated in nature
    across central and especially southern MN, along with an axis down
    across northeast IA.

    Focused warm air advection into the region and coupling with the
    right-entrance region of the upper-level jet is providing focused
    corridors of deep layer ascent. This coupled with modest
    instability (MUCAPE values ~500 J/kg), but rather strong low-level
    moisture convergence, has been the key driver of the morning
    convective footprint across the region.

    An axis of 2.0 to 2.25 inch PWs are noted across south-central MN
    through central IA just ahead of the approaching cold front, and
    this moisture coupled with the aforementioned forcing is helping
    to yield rainfall rates as high as 1.5 inches/hour with the
    stronger convective cores. The relatively lackluster instability
    is actually helping to mitigate the rainfall rate potential a bit,
    but the current activity is also rather slow-moving. Therefore,
    this is allowing for concerns for locally heavy rainfall totals to
    materialize.

    The latest multi-model hires CAMs and global model guidance show
    some additional amplification of the mid-level trough, and with
    the rather strong dynamical forcing, the overall convective
    footprint is likely to persist despite the relative lack of
    instability.

    Slow cell-motions will encourage persistence of locally heavy
    rainfall rates that may allow for an additional 2 to 4 inches
    going through midday. While generally south-central MN down
    through northeast IA should see the heaviest rains, some of these
    rains may edge into western WI and northwest IL toward midday.
    This rainfall is expected to support concerns for isolated and
    mainly urban flash flooding.

    Areas affected...East-Central/Southeast MO...Southern IL

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

    Valid 311441Z - 311900Z

    SUMMARY...An isolated threat for mainly urban flash flooding will
    exist over the next few hours from locally repeating showers and
    thunderstorms with heavy rainfall rates.

    DISCUSSION...Radar imagery shows bands of heavy showers and
    thunderstorms advancing across east-central MO and into western
    and southwest IL. The convection is associated with a well-defined
    warm air and moisture advection regime around the southeast flank
    of a deeper layer trough over the Upper Midwest.

    This coupled with relatively divergent flow aloft and some uptick
    in boundary layer moisture convergence has been promoting some
    localized expansion and uptick in intensity of this convection
    over the last hour. Much of the convection is highly elevated and
    focused along a rather strong instability gradient, but with some
    cloud-top cooling noted, the activity should tend to persist over
    the next few hours as it advances off to the east.

    Some expansion of convection is possible across southern MO and
    adjacent areas of southern IL as a warm front begins to encroach
    on the area, and this will also lead to an increase in PWs which
    are quite high across central and southern MO right now with
    values of 2.25+ inches. Rainfall rates of 1 to 2 inches/hour are
    expected with the stronger and more focused cells.

    Some localized repeating of convective cells is noted in radar
    imagery over the last hour, especially south of St. Louis, and
    this may result in some localized 2 to 3+ inch totals as the
    general convective mass advances more into areas of southern IL
    over the next few hours.

    An isolated and mainly urban flash flood threat will exist with
    this activity over the next few hours.

    Areas affected...Southeastern New York through Western New England

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

    Valid 281646Z - 282245Z

    SUMMARY...Numerous thunderstorms have developed across portions of
    New York into New England. Flash flooding is likely as the storms
    interact with the terrain.

    DISCUSSION...Numerous thunderstorms have formed in several
    clusters from central New York through portions of western New
    England this afternoon. These clusters have a history of producing multiple-inch-per-hour rainfall rates. Duration has also been a
    distinguishing factor as some portions of central New York have
    seen heavy rainfall for several hours. The clusters of storms have
    developed ahead of a strong upper level negatively tilted trough,
    on the leading edge of a potent low level jet advecting high PWATs
    to 1.5 to 1.75 inches right into eastern New York and western New
    England. With plentiful terrain in these areas, the combination of
    upslope into the south-facing slopes of the mountains, heavy rain
    that's likely to persist for multiple hours, and plentiful
    moisture allowing storms to train and backbuild will all combine
    to make flash flooding likely in this region through the
    afternoon.

    While the heaviest rain has been in Central New York thus far,
    streamers of storms will fill in most areas in eastern New York
    over to western New England through the afternoon as peak heating
    and instability advection both increase the coverage, severity,
    and duration of the strongest storms. Urban and small stream
    flooding are most likely, especially off the south-facing slopes
    of the mountains and in the urban areas subject to the longer
    durations of heavy rainfall. Locally significant flash flooding
    can't be ruled out.

    High resolution CAMs guidance suggests the most persistent rains
    will be in the western areas from Binghamton up I-88, and for
    eastern areas from western Connecticut into southern Vermont from
    I-91 west. There remains some uncertainty for the Catskills
    through the Hudson Valley, where southerly flow may limit the
    convective coverage since terrain won't necessarily help
    concentrate the heaviest rainfall, and storms to the south may
    limit how much instability can advect into that area.

    Areas affected...Central NY into Parts of Southern New England

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

    Valid 291435Z - 292035Z

    Summary...Ongoing flash flooding threat will continue through at
    least early this afternoon as moderate to locally heavy rain
    (hourly rates up to 2"/hr) maintains over the region. Locally
    significant impacts are possible in parts of the Hudson Valley
    where over 5" has fallen already.

    Discussion...A favorable synoptic setup for heavy rainfall
    continues to evolve this morning, although waning in intensity
    somewhat, over parts of east-central New York State and adjacent
    southern New England. Stacked low-to-mid level low with a few
    embedded circulations extend from near Long Island to the
    Adirondacks and is supplying an axis of strong deep layer
    convergence. Additionally, this setup is supplying very moist flow
    (1.5-1.8" PWs) from the Atlantic just to the east of this
    circulation. As the northernmost low rotates around the strong
    southern low, this creates a pivoting axis over the Hudson Valley
    for longer duration moderate rainfall rates and the highest storm
    totals. Rainfall amounts up until 14Z over the last 24-hrs were
    over 5" along the Hudson River Valley of NY and as high as around
    9.5" just southeast of Albany, NY. Rainfall rates of 2-3"/hr as
    estimated by MRMS this morning have come down and are expected to
    remain around or below 2"/hr throughout the day due to limited
    instability. However, rates of 1-2" across regions already dealing
    with overly saturated soils will be enough to continue producing
    scattered to widespread flash flooding. Locally significant
    impacts are possible, including additional road closures and
    impacts to low-lying infrastructure.

    Just to the east of the Hudson Valley throughout southern New
    England, a band of moderate to heavy rainfall wrapping on the
    east-northeast periphery of the circulation moving inland from the
    Long Island Sound will produce potential for isolated to scattered
    flash flooding. Although hourly rainfall rates across this region
    are again not expected to exceed 2", there could be a brief period
    of training that leads to 3-5" amounts and exceeding local FFG
    from northern CT to central/western Ma. Additionally, upslope
    enhancement into the Berkshires, southern Greens, and Worcester
    Hills could lead to locally higher rainfall and higher likelihood
    of at least scattered coverage of flash flooding.

    Areas affected...Parts of New York State from the St. Lawrence
    River Valley to the Southern Tier

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

    Valid 291540Z - 292140Z

    Summary...Scattered thunderstorms with pockets of 2-4" rainfall
    totals are possible through this afternoon across parts of New
    York State, centered over the eastern shores of Lake Ontario,
    which may lead to isolated instances of flash flooding.

    Discussion...Latest regional radar and MRMS estimates show
    developing efficient rain-producing showers across far northern
    New York State near the St. Lawrence River Valley along a frontal
    boundary wrapping southward to the east of Lake Ontario and into
    the Southern Tier of New York. MRMS hourly rates have been
    estimated up to 2" across far northwest parts of the state so far.
    This is all occurring to the west of a strong and stacked low-mid
    level low over southern New England, with high PWs being directed
    to the north and west into this frontal zone. PWs of 1.5-1.75" via
    SPC's mesoanalysis are found across this region and actually
    higher from Oswego, NY on northward.

    With ample moisture and an axis of convergence in place,
    instability is not overly impressive, but is highest over the
    highlighted area where compared to the remainder of the Northeast
    and New England. SBCAPE values remain around 1000 J/kg and should
    keep showers from growing upscale, but the slow forward
    propagation and uniform northerly flow could allow for some
    repeating of showers. Should this occur, rainfall amounts could
    add up to around 2-4" and is supported by recent HRRR and RRFS
    runs. 12Z REFS neighborhood probabilities for at least 2" per
    3-hrs are between 20-40% and match recent radar trends, with the
    expectation that these totals are isolated in nature.

    Areas affected...Much of North Carolina into Southern Virginia

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

    Valid 041738Z - 042338Z

    Summary...A few instances of flash flooding are possible through
    23z/7pm EDT.

    Discussion...Radar shows increasing coverage of showers and
    thunderstorms across North Carolina into southern Virginia. 1-2
    inch hourly rainfall rates are occurring on an isolated basis in
    cells forming in this general region -- highest near Fayetteville.
    The convection was increasing due to a number of factors,
    including: 1) increasing instability (1500-2000 J/kg MLCAPE) from
    surface heating, 2) ascent from weak mid-level shortwave troughs
    just downstream of an upper low over Georgia, and 3) Moist
    southerly flow emanating from the Gulf Stream, which was
    maintaining 1.5-2.4 inch PW values into a stationary front
    extending from near Richmond, VA west-southwest to near Asheville,
    NC.

    Scattered convection will continue to increase in coverage, with
    areas of 1-3 inch totals expected (per models/HREF) in several
    areas. Locally higher amounts could be observed where cell mergers
    or local training materializes. Model guidance indicates 20-30
    percent chances for 2 inch hourly rainfall rates in North Carolina
    and 30-50 percent chances in southern Virginia, with similar 3-6
    hour flash flood exceedance probabilities in these respective
    areas. Urban locales (i.e., Richmond to Virginia Beach) and areas
    of lower FFG from central VA through western NC will be more
    susceptible to flash flooding. This risk will likely exist
    through at least 23Z/7p EDT.

    Areas affected...southwestern NM into southeastern/southern AZ

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

    Valid 042106Z - 050240Z

    Summary...Increasing thunderstorm coverage across southwestern NM
    into southeastern AZ through the evening and early overnight may
    result in a few areas of flash flooding. Hourly rainfall totals of
    1-2 inches and sub-hourly rains of 0.5 to 1.0 inches in 15-30
    minutes are expected through 03Z.

    Discussion...2045Z visible satellite imagery showed monsoonal
    convection underway across the higher terrain of southwestern NM
    into southeastern AZ. Water vapor imagery showed the center of a
    west-east elongated mid to upper-level ridge over south-central AZ
    into NM, with deeper layer mean flow from the E to ENE across the
    south-central AZ/NM border into northern MX. PW values across
    western NM into eastern AZ were average to slightly above average
    for this time of year (per blended TPW imagery) and mostly clear
    skies through the mid-afternoon have contributed to 500 to 1500+
    J/kg MLCAPE across southeastern AZ into far southwestern NM via
    20Z SPC mesoanalysis data, with higher instability in excess of
    2000 J/kg with southward extent into northern MX.

    Expectations are for thunderstorms to continue forming along the
    higher terrain of southwestern NM into eastern AZ over the next
    few hours, with an eventual movement toward the west and southwest
    into the lower deserts and eventually portions of the I-10 and
    I-19 corridors which have greater instability. While some slow
    cell movement may be observed early on in the storm life cycle,
    individual cell speeds of 10 to 20 kt are expected as one nears
    the US/MX border due to the presence of 20-35 kt of easterly 500
    mb winds over southern AZ into northern MX on the south side of
    the ridge axis. Rainfall rate potential will be for 1 to 2 inches
    in an hour but also high sub-hourly totals of 0.5 to 1 inch in
    15-30 minutes.

    Thunderstorm coverage is also expected to increase through 00Z
    across the mountains of southeastern AZ into northern MX (per
    recent HRRR/RRFS runs), with these cells generally moving from
    east to west. Outflow development within the dry sub-cloud layer
    should contribute to eventual merging and clustering of cells with
    movement toward the west. As this occurs, locally enhanced rain
    rates of 1-2 inches per hour are expected but with much of the
    heaviest rain falling in the sub-hourly time frame. These intense
    rainfall rates may produce a few areas of flash flooding through
    03Z.

    Areas affected...far southern VA into central/east-central NC

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

    Valid 042353Z - 050330Z

    SUMMARY...Isolated flash flood potential will exist across far
    southern VA into central/east-central NC for another 2-4 hours. An
    additional 2-4 inches of rain will be possible.

    DISCUSSION...Regional radar imagery at 2340Z showed lingering
    convection along the central VA/NC border into portions of central
    NC. Satellite and radar imagery showed an outflow boundary
    tracking southward into northern NC, associated with locally
    heavier rainfall of 1-2 inches per hour. Farther south, scattered
    showers were noted in the vicinity of a mid-level vorticity max
    centered roughly between Raleigh-Durham and Rocky Mount,
    NC...tracking slowly north to northwest. SPC mesoanalysis data
    from 23Z estimated MLCAPE of 500-1500 J/kg in place across the
    region but high PWs of 2.2 to 2.5 inches also remained, supporting
    high short term rainfall rates.

    While the overall trend in convective vigor appears to be down
    with the loss of daytime heating, it seems widely scattered
    instances of higher rainfall rate potential (1 to 3 in/hr) will
    remain from the VA/NC border into central/east-central NC for
    another 2-4 hours as the vorticity max continues to interact with
    convectively driven mesoscale outflows. An additional 2-4 inches
    of rain will be possible through ~03Z, but these higher totals are
    expected to remain isolated/localized in coverage.

    Areas affected...northern MO/southern IA into western IL

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

    Valid 050029Z - 050400Z

    SUMMARY...A relatively narrow axis of flash flooding will be
    possible across northern MO, far southern IA into western IL
    through 04Z. Peak rainfall totals of 2-4 inches (locally higher)
    are expected.

    DISCUSSION...Radar imagery from 0015Z showed a few slow moving
    thunderstorms located along a cold to quasi-stationary front
    across northern MO. These cells were slow moving within a weakness
    in the steering flow and tracking parallel to the boundary aligned
    from west to east, supporting peak MRMS-derived hourly rainfall
    locally in the 2-3 inch range over the past 1-2 hours. MLCAPE of
    1000-2000 J/kg and PWs just near 2 inches were estimated by the
    00Z SPC mesoanalysis across the region, supporting high rain rates
    beneath modestly diffluent flow aloft. To the west of this axis of
    slow moving cells was a forward propagating and loosely organized
    cluster of thunderstorms along the west-central IA/MO border.

    The forward propagating cluster is expected to maintain a west to
    east track in the short term. Given the orientation of the
    initiating boundary/front aligned with the mean wind and available
    instability, it seems plausible that hourly rainfall rates of 1-3
    inches in an hour will continue along a relatively narrow axis
    from northern MO into far southern IA and western IL over the next
    3-4 hours. These high rates from slow movement or training of
    cells may result in flash flooding with potential for an
    additional 2-4 inches of rain (locally higher) through 04Z.

    Areas affected...far southwestern NM into southeastern/southern AZ

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

    Valid 050238Z - 050615Z

    Summary...Flash flooding will remain possible for another few
    hours from the NM Bootheel westward into far southeastern AZ.
    Hourly rainfall of 1-2 inches will be likely and localized storm
    totals over 2 inches will be possible.

    Discussion...02Z satellite and radar imagery showed scattered
    strong to severe thunderstorms over the Bootheel of NM into
    Cochise and Graham counties, with an overall movement toward the
    west on convective outflow. Overlap of convection with a personal
    weather station in northern Cochise County showed 0.64 inches of
    rain in 15 minutes ending at 02Z, an example of the high short
    term rates with the ongoing activity. Additional cells were noted
    south of the border into Mexico where SPC mesoanalysis showed
    MLCAPE values of 2500+ J/kg, falling off sharply with northward
    extent into southeastern AZ along with increasing CIN with
    northward extent. PW values have increased a little since the
    mid-afternoon, remaining slightly above average for early August.

    As the cells from Mexico and far southern AZ/NM continue to
    advance downstream toward the west, congealing into a compact
    convective cluster is expected with motion following Corfidi
    vectors generally toward the west at a progressive pace. However,
    there is good model agreement from the HRRR/RRFS and recent runs
    of the WoFS to support a localized flash flood concern over the
    next 3-4 hours evolving westward from the southern AZ/NM border
    into remaining portions of southern Cochise County and Santa Cruz
    County, possibly extending into eastern/central Pima County
    overnight.

    The 23Z-02Z WoFS has been consistent with high probabilities
    (70-90+ percent) of 1+ inches across southern Hidalgo into
    southern Cochise and Santa Cruz counties through 06Z. Also of note
    is the 90th percentile shows 2-4 inches for southern Cochise
    County for the same time period, representative of potential spot
    maxima. While the threat looks to stay south of the Tucson metro,
    a localized flash flood threat will remain for mainly southern
    portions of the MPD threat area through 06Z, at which point the
    threat of high rain rates appears to shift primarily south of the
    border.

    Areas affected...SE Nebraska...SW to Central Iowa...

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

    Valid 050515Z - 051100Z

    SUMMARY...Favorable back-building repeating environment for
    elevated thunderstorms overnight. Hourly rates of 1.5-2"/hr
    probable to support streaks of 2-4" totals and possible incidents
    of flash flooding through late overnight period.

    DISCUSSION...Environment is starting to recover well with return
    moisture, instability advection from strengthening and broaden LLJ
    (25-30kts) in the wake of the initial convective cluster/complex
    that continues but is weakening as it enters western IL. While
    the surface low and front remain well south in central KS into
    northern MO; the 850-700mb frontal zone is sharpening/steepening
    in advance of approaching broad larger scale trough over the
    Higher Northern and Central Plains as well as the nose of a
    70-90kt 250mb jet core out of WY. Diffluence over the Missouri
    Valley and the dPVA aloft has aided the strengthening of the LLJ
    and FGEN from central NEB through central IA. As the LLJ
    slows/broadens at the 850-700mb front, speed and therefore
    moisture convergence can overcome the slowly degrading MUCINH and
    exploit the steeper lapse rates aloft and therefore pool of
    1500-2000 J/kg of MUCAPE from the western edge of the LLJ axis
    across central KS to south-central NEB eastward.
    As such, RADAR/GOES-E 3.9um has seen broad area of agitated Cu
    grow and cool to scattered CBs across E NEB and SW IA.

    CIRA LPW and RAP analysis denotes ample moisture pooled between
    the surface and 850mb front across NE KS into SW IA will support
    some modest rainfall efficiency as the convective complex
    develops/expands across the area over the next few hours. A few
    cells are broad enough at this point to support 1-1.5"/hr rates
    but this is expected to increase as the larger scale forcing
    further helps flux convergence, eventually supporting 1.75-2"/hr
    rates. The upper level flow is fairly solid but slightly veered
    through the low-level steering from SW to W across 700-400mb,
    especially as the preceding wave is helping to flatten 500-1000mb
    thickness pattern for a favorable propagation more due east to
    promote west to east training/ repeating steering profile. The
    more concerning factor is the convective generation point appears
    to be stationary or even slightly retrograding over the next few
    hours across SE NEB as the approaching jet/dPVA further expands
    allowing for a favorable back-building environment. This will
    support a longer duration of training especially closer to the source/development point in SE NEB/SW IA.

    Spots of 2-4" are probable and may result in localized flash
    flooding conditions. There are Hi-Res CAMs even supportive of
    higher values in the 5"+ range and this remains a viable
    possibility, though these are the traditionally hotter solutions
    of the RRFS/NAM-Nest and FV3-LAM, but the setup would not be too
    surprising if this were to manifest through 12z, but confidence is
    not quite high enough given higher FFG to consider broader areas
    of flash flooding likely; but it is close. At this point will
    hold off and keep the consideration for flash flooding as
    possible.

    Areas affected...Much of Maryland...DC...Delaware...Northern
    Virginia...Eastern West Virginia Panhandle...

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

    Valid 050550Z - 051145Z

    SUMMARY...Narrow but highly efficient/focused slow moving showers
    capable of 1.5-2"/hr and focused 2-3"+ totals may result in widely
    scattered localized incidents of flash flooding through early
    morning.

    DISCUSSION...GOES-E WV suite depicts a classic comma head closed
    low over the southern to central Appalachians with broadening
    downshear deformation shield of mid to upper-clouds. Embedded
    within is a weak 'warm-sector' shortwave over northern VA starting
    to shear/shift northeast within the anticyclonic ridge of the mid
    to upper-level jet entrance toward the northeast. Deep layer
    warm-advection just advance and trailing the wave can be seen very
    well in deep layer moisture fields with back-arched nose of
    enhanced 2-2.3" Total PWats from the Blue Ridge of N VA extending
    southwest into south-central VA. VWP show broad cyclonic curvature
    into the effective TROWAL for solid moisture convergence axis in
    the vicinity of I-95 and west. A wedge of 500-1000 J/kg of MLCAPE
    exists from I-95 east across S MD into the southern Delmarva.

    So while winds and instability is weak, it is sufficient in a high
    potential vorticity environment at the confluence of a broad WAA
    regime. Scattered narrow updraft cells are starting to break out
    across central to northern VA. Deep warm cloud layer (15Kft+) and
    ample moisture support efficient tropical rain-showers with rates
    of 1.5-2"/hr. This setup has been consistent with good
    historical track record for heavy rainfall production though there
    is a bit greater deep layer speed than the prior day or so across
    S VA/E NC; so residency may be a bit less than those areas.
    However, given proximity to the slow moving deep layer deformation
    zone across the region; cells should slow and occasionally pause
    to allow for spots of 2-3" possible this morning. Given proximity
    to the Washington Baltimore urban corridor, these showers while
    very local are prone for localized flash flooding concerns if they
    intersect the right area(s), this includes the foothills and peaks
    of the Blue Ridge and eastern ridges of the Appalachians which may
    have additional low level/upslope support. As such, widely
    scattered, localized flash flooding is considered possible through
    daybreak.

    Areas affected...southern Iowa, northern Missouri, far western
    Illinois

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

    Valid 051054Z - 051554Z

    Summary...An MCS with training convection will persist for a few
    more hours this morning, posing an isolated flash flood risk.

    Discussion...Training convection has materialized in earnest
    generally along an axis between US 34 and the IA/MO border.
    Within this axis, areas of 1.5-2 inch/hr rain rates were locally
    exceeding FFG in spots, posing an isolated flash flood risk. The
    storms were located on the nose of 25-35 kt 850mb flow centered
    over eastern KS and northwestern MO, with strong convergence axis
    oriented parallel to steering flow aloft favoring training.

    The overall scenario for flash flooding will continue for the next
    couple of hours given a continued presence of elevated instability
    (7C/km midlevel lapse rates) and moisture (1.8 inch PW).
    Low-level flow into the axis of convective training will gradually
    veer and weaken through the morning hours, eventually allowing for
    storms to re-orient and perhaps lose their training character.
    While some of this activity may reach western Illinois through
    13-14Z, flash flood potential with eastern extent is a bit in
    doubt at this time and remains contingent on the degree of
    convective training.

    Areas affected...coastal areas of North and South Carolina

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

    Valid 051122Z - 051622Z

    Summary...Areas of flash flooding are possible on an isolated
    basis this morning - primarily along coastal areas.

    Discussion...Deep convection has remained persistent across the
    Gulf Stream and near-coastal areas over the past several hours.
    The storms are embedded within a moist and strongly unstable
    airmass, with 2.2 inch PW and 2000 J/kg MLCAPE supporting strong
    updrafts and efficient, heavy rain rates. Low-level confluence
    was also supporting the ongoing convection, and with low-level
    trajectories oriented inland from the Gulf Stream, recent
    convection has developed just inland from the Gulf Stream with
    local rates of 0.5-2 inch/hr noted near Charleston, Georgetown,
    and areas just east of Wilmington. While these rates may not
    cause flash flooding on a widespread basis, some concern exists
    for urbanized areas, where a quick inch of rainfall from efficient
    cells could result in local impacts.

    Models/CAMs suggest that this threat will persist for a few hours,
    with potential for 2-3 inch rainfall totals through 15Z. Flash
    flooding is possible given the scenario.

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

    Valid 051552Z - 051952Z

    Summary...Isolated instances of flash flooding remain possible
    through early afternoon.

    Discussion...While a lead convective complex has largely exited
    the region to the southeast and weakened (now extending across
    northeastern Missouri), renewed convective development has
    occurred across southwestern into central Iowa over the past
    couple hours. The storms are being aided by ascent associated
    with a mid-level shortwave trough approaching the region from
    eastern Nebraska, while SPC mesoanalyses indicate lingering steep
    lapse rates (near 7 C/km) and elevated instability to support
    ongoing convection. 1.9 inch PW values continue to support heavy
    rainfall. Areas of 1 inch/hr rain rates have been noted near/east
    of Des Moines, while other convection in southwestern Iowa is
    moving toward south-central parts of the state that received 2-4
    inches of rainfall this morning and currently have near-zero FFG
    thresholds. Flash flooding remains possible on at least an
    isolated basis through 19Z/2p central given the rainfall scenario.

    Jersey

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

    Valid 051802Z - 052102Z

    Summary...Local flash flood risk exists - particularly in
    urban/low-lying areas along the I-95 corridor from
    Washington/Baltimore through Philadelphia and Trenton.

    Discussion...A broken band of shallow convection was drifting
    northward at about 10-15 knots across the discussion area and
    currently extends from near western sides of Baltimore
    east-northeastward to near Philadelphia and Trenton. The
    convection is embedded within an abundantly moist airmass (2.2+
    inch PW values), leading to efficient rain rates (subhourly 0.5-1
    inch totals) within the convection. Cells were currently moving
    toward urban land surfaces (especially near Philadelphia/Trenton),
    which should cause at least isolated excessive runoff issues in
    the next 0-2 hours or so.

    As this band lifts northward, it'll likely continue intensifying
    due to continued surface heating/destabilization in the ambient
    environment. A couple of conditional factors for an increase in
    flash flood potential exists, including 1) local backbuilding and
    2) any local mesocyclogenesis that may evolve as convection
    interacts with a subtle remnant boundary/warm frontal feature in
    the region. Either of these factors could prolong rainfall and
    bump rates to 2 inches/hr. Should this conditional risk
    materialize, the combination of rainfall and urban/low-lying areas
    would result in an even higher risk of flash flood impacts.

    Areas affected...portions of the upper OH Valley

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

    Valid 051939Z - 060100Z

    Summary...Slow moving thunderstorms will maintain a threat for
    flash flooding into the evening across portions of the Upper OH
    Valley over the next 3-6 hours. High rain rates on the sub-hourly
    scale will likely result in peak rainfall totals of 2 to 3 inches
    (locally higher) through about 00Z.

    Discussion...1920Z radar imagery showed scattered thunderstorms
    aligned in a SW to NE axis on the warm side of a diffuse
    quasi-stationary front extending from central KY into a low over
    southeastern OH, and northward along an inverted trough axis into
    far western NY. The front was aligned with a slow moving mid to
    upper-level shear axis on water vapor imagery with modest
    divergence aloft within the right-entrance region of a 50-60 kt
    upper level jet max extending northeastward from eastern OH. A
    gradient existed in precipitable water values with 1.5 to 2.0
    inches seen on blended TPW imagery and RAP analyses along and just
    to the warm side of the front, falling back to about 0.75 inches
    over northwestern OH.

    low level flow was weak but aligned with the front and deeper
    layer mean steering flow from the SW which is a favorable setup
    for training. However, the lack of organization of cells due to
    the weak shear has resulted in limited residence time for most
    cells and outflow dominance. Still, the high moisture environment
    has resulted in MRMS-derived rainfall of 0.5 to 1.25 inches in 15
    minutes and hourly rainfall of 1 to 2 inches, locally in excess of
    2 inches, from northern KY into southern and eastern OH. With slow
    movement of synoptic scale forcing over the next 6 hours, cells
    will likely continue to take advantage of the 1000-2000 J/kg
    MLCAPE in place near and east of the front from KY into OH,
    eventually reaching portions of western PA/WV into central WV
    which tend to be more hydrologically sensitive to high rain rates.
    High short term rates are expected to result in storm total
    rainfall of 2 to 3+ inches on a localized basis which may result
    in a few areas of flash flooding through 01Z.

    Areas affected...eastern PA into central/northern NY and the NYC
    metro

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

    Valid 052131Z - 060200Z

    SUMMARY...A localized flash flood threat will remain for another
    2-4 hours across portions of eastern PA into central/northern NY
    and the NYC metro. High sub-hourly rainfall rates will support the
    potential for 1 to 2+ inches through 02Z.

    DISCUSSION...Radar imagery at 2115Z continued to show scattered showers/thunderstorms extending from portions of southeastern PA
    into north-central NJ, although the intensity of rainfall has
    lowered compared to earlier this afternoon. Visible satellite
    imagery showed a number of low level vorticity maxima embedded
    within a broader axis of low level convergence that extended from
    the east-central MD/PA border into central NJ, each associated
    with locally heavier regions of rainfall. MLCAPE has been limited
    to ~500 to 1000 J/kg along this convergence axis, but instability
    has also been advecting northward in association with a weak warm
    front, with PWs locally in excess of 2 inches.

    While the threat for additional flash flooding appears isolated
    through the evening, as the diffuse warm front continues to lift
    north, weak instability (<1000 J/kg) is forecast by the RAP to
    expand into northeastern PA, northern NJ and the NYC metro. Based
    on earlier rainfall rates across PA into NJ, the potential will
    exist for 15-minute rainfall totals of 0.5 to 1.0 inches and storm
    totals of 1 to 2+ inches. Should these higher rates materialize,
    heavy rainfall should remain isolated across eastern PA into
    northern NJ and southern NY, but overlap with urban or otherwise
    sensitive locations could result in flash flooding.

    Areas affected...far southwestern NM into central/southern AZ

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

    Valid 052247Z - 060445Z

    SUMMARY...Thunderstorms are likely to expand in coverage into
    portions of southwestern NM into southeastern/south-central AZ
    through the late evening. Rainfall totals of 1 to 2 inches are
    expected across these portions of the Desert Southwest on a
    localized basis (isolated 3 inches possible).

    DISCUSSION...Visible satellite, lightning and radar imagery from
    2230Z showed monsoon thunderstorms ongoing across the Mogollon Rim
    into the higher terrain of western NM. Estimated instability via
    the 22Z SPC mesoanalysis varied from southwestern NM across
    central to southeastern AZ, but MLCAPE ranged from ~500 to 2000
    J/kg. CIN remained south of the Mogollon Rim but that has been
    eroding as evidenced by convective development across some of the
    higher terrain of southeastern AZ.

    The upper pattern is not much different than yesterday at this
    time across the Desert Southwest with an elongated ridge centered
    over the central AZ/NM border, however moisture values have
    increased for some locations of AZ compared to this time
    yesterday, especially closer to southwestern AZ where blended TPW
    values showed a greater coverage of 1.6 to 2.0 inch PW values.
    Thunderstorms are likely to continue expanding in coverage due to
    rain-cooled outflow and new development along terrain features
    over the next 2-4 hours. Increasing coverage, especially across
    southeastern AZ, should lead to merging and clustering of cells
    with westward propagation following the mean steering flow into
    the low level easterlies currently in place across southern AZ.
    There remains uncertainty with the convective coverage across
    central to south-central AZ due to lingering CIN but storm driven
    outflow may be enough to overcome the inhibition in some areas.

    Despite an expected evolution toward progressive cell motions
    toward the west, the environment will be supportive of 0.5 to 1.0
    inches of rain in 15-30 minutes and 1-2 inches in an hour. Peak
    storm totals are likely to be in the 1-2 inch range, but isolated
    2 to 3 inch totals cannot be ruled out through ~05Z.

    Areas affected...eastern KS into MO

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

    Valid 060150Z - 060745Z

    SUMMARY...Areas of training and repeating thunderstorms are
    expected to focus across eastern KS into central MO by 06Z. Hourly
    rainfall of 1 to 2 inches will contribute to 2 to 4 inch totals
    through 08Z (locally higher rates/totals), along with possible
    flash flooding.

    DISCUSSION...01Z surface observations showed a quasi-stationary
    front extending from northern IL through northern MO into eastern
    and southern KS/northern OK. Largely elevated showers and
    thunderstorms were ongoing over northern portions of MO where
    MUCAPE of 1000-2000 J/kg was in place via the 00Z TOP sounding and
    01Z SPC mesoanalysis. Additional thunderstorms had recently
    developed about 40-50 miles east of Wichita, KS. Of particular
    note was that the region has increased moisture compared to 24
    hours ago with PWs of 1.6 to 2.0 inches extending along a broad
    region from eastern KS into MO and IL. Aloft, flow was diffluent
    across the lower Plains into the mid-MS Valley, located at the
    base of a broad mid to upper level trough in place across the
    north-central U.S.

    Forecasts from the RAP show the low level jet increasing from the
    south overnight through 06Z, represented by 25-35 kt at 850 mb
    from central KS into central MO. Convergence at the nose of the
    low level jet will help to focus a west-east zone of thunderstorms
    beneath the diffluent flow aloft. There could be several axes of training/repeating thunderstorms that develop. The environment
    will be supportive of hourly rainfall between 1-2 inches and
    totals of 2 to 4 inches by 08Z (locally higher rates/totals
    possible). Forecast veering of the low level jet after 06Z and
    clustering of thunderstorms may shift the focus of heavier
    rainfall out of KS into MO, though some uncertainty exists for
    when the flash flood threat will end across KS. A mixture of above
    and below average rainfall was in place across eastern KS into MO
    over the past week, along with varying flash flood guidance
    values. Therefore, given uncertainty in exactly where the heaviest
    rainfall will setup, the threat is considered possible over likely
    at this time.

    Areas affected...WV, MD Panhandle into western PA

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

    Valid 060100Z - 060600Z

    SUMMARY...An isolated flash flood threat will linger across
    portions of WV into the MD Panhandle and western PA for another
    3-5 hours. Hourly rainfall of 1-2 inches and peak additional
    rainfall totals of 1-3 inches are expected.

    DISCUSSION...0045Z radar imagery showed an axis of scattered
    showers and thunderstorms extending from central WV into western
    PA, within a zone of weak low level confluence. While mid-level
    lapse rates were poor (5.5 to less than 6.0 C/km), a high low
    level moisture environment was contributing to pockets of 500-1500
    J/kg MLCAPE where rain has not significantly cooled surface
    temperatures (per SPC mesoanalysis data from 00Z). Precipitable
    water values of ~1.5 to 2.0 inches will continue to support high
    sub-hourly rainfall rates of about 0.5 to 1.0 inches in 15-30
    minutes and 1-2 inches in an hour. Unidirectional southwest flow
    remains beneath weakening right-entrance upper jet support which
    may continue to aid with lift to some degree over the next few
    hours. Therefore, despite sunset and cooling of the boundary
    layer, some degree of instability is expected to remain for
    another 3-5 hours to support additional but localized heavy rain
    and flash flood potential from WV into western PA. Additional
    storm total rainfall of 1-3 inches is expected through 06Z.

    Areas affected...Southern Arizona

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

    Valid 060435Z - 060900Z

    Summary...Showers and thunderstorms will continue into the
    overnight hours as a shortwave drops southwest towards Mexico.
    Slow moving storms with hourly rainfall up to 1.5" could cause
    instances of flash flooding.

    Discussion...The GOES-E IR satellite this evening shows rapidly
    cooling cloud tops across far southeast AZ coincident with
    deepening convection noted in the regional radar mosaic. These
    storms are developing downstream of a weak shortwave impulse
    evident in WV imagery rotating W/SW around the base of the monsoon
    ridge, with subsequent convective development occurring along
    storm mergers and outflow boundaries. The environment across
    southern AZ remains extremely favorable for heavy rain, with PWs
    measured by GPS and the 00Z U/A soundings around 1.5 inches
    overlapped with impressive MUCAPE of 1500-2000 J/kg. Thunderstorms
    this evening have produced MRMS hourly rainfall as much as 1.5
    inches, and these rates are likely to continue for a few more
    hours.

    Despite the slow loss of daytime heating combined with increasing
    convective overturning, the high-res CAMs suggest at least a few
    more hours of heavy rain likely within this activity. The
    southwest motion of the shortwave will place it more favorably
    atop robust thermodynamics, and within a pocket of 20-25 kts shear
    to help organize thunderstorms into clusters and multicells. This
    will additionally enhance the rain rate potential, which is
    reflected by both HREF and REFS neighborhood probabilities for
    1"/hr that remain above 40% through around 08Z, with similar
    evolution noted in the hourly rainfall from the UA WRF. While the
    general trend should be for these cells to drift SW on mean 0-6km
    winds of around 5 kts, locally slower or chaotic motion is
    possible at times through mergers/collisions which could produce
    as much as 2-3" of rain in isolated locations.

    While intensity should begin to wane in the next few hours, this
    area of southeast AZ has been wet recently as reflected by 7-day
    rainfall departures that are as much as 300-400% of normal. This
    makes the already vulnerable region (due to sensitive features
    such as dry washes or burn scars) even more susceptible to runoff
    impacts. This is reflected by lowering, but still notable, FFG
    exceedance probabilities through 09Z before convection wanes more
    rapidly, suggesting the flash flood potential will continue for
    several more hours tonight.

    Areas affected...Far Eastern Kansas through much of Missouri

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

    Valid 060745Z - 061300Z

    Summary...Widespread showers and thunderstorms will persist and
    repeat from eastern Kansas through Missouri overnight. Rainfall
    rates of 1-2"/hr are likely, leading to 2-4" of rain with locally
    higher amounts. This may cause flash flooding.

    Discussion...The regional radar mosaic tonight shows a broad area
    of widespread, but relatively unfocused, thunderstorms stretching
    from far eastern Kansas to northeast Missouri. This convection is
    forming immediately downstream of a mid-level trough axis
    approaching from the Central Plains (through which a weak,
    convectively enhanced shortwave has developed over eastern KS)
    with additional ascent provided through the RRQ of a jet streak
    arcing poleward into the Great Lakes. In the lower levels,
    regional VWPs indicate the LLJ at 850mb has increased to 25-30 kts
    with some local S/SW backing helping to promote increased
    thermodynamic advection. This is materializing as an overlap of
    PWs over 2 inches (in convection, 1.6 - 1.8 inches otherwise) with
    MUCAPE above 1500 J/kg.

    Hourly MRMS rainfall within ongoing activity has been as high as
    1.75", but the development thus far has been scattered and
    disorganized. This is likely due to modest LLJ intensity thus far,
    as well as a lack of overlap between the convergent nose of this
    LLJ, which is oriented more E-W, and the accompanying stationary
    front which is aligned more NE-SW. However, as the shortwave
    approaches from the west, the LLJ should accelerate and subtly
    back to force 850mb convergence to be more aligned with the
    surface boundary. As that occurs, more cohesive ascent is expected
    leading to more organized convection which may becomes an MCS or
    rounds of multi-cells within increased 25-35kt bulk shear. During
    this time, rain rates are likely to intensify as well, which is
    reflected by HREF neighborhood probabilities peaking over 40% for
    2"/hr, and supported by HRRR 15-min rainfall that may reach 1"
    (brief 4"/hr rain rates.)

    Mean 0-6km winds will generally remain progressive at 20-25 kts
    from west to east, but this should align generally parallel to the
    convergent LLJ nose to result in enhanced training of echoes.
    Where multiple rounds of thunderstorms occur, total rainfall of
    2-4" is likely, with locally more than 5" possible (10-15%
    chance.) While this setup appears favorable for organized or
    repeating enhanced rain rates, 3-hr FFG is generally high (2.5-3")
    and individual cells will be progressive. For this reason, the
    threat remains possible rather than likely, with training driving

    Areas affected...portions of the central Appalachians into the
    Northeast

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

    Valid 061950Z - 070120Z

    Summary...Increasing thunderstorm coverage is expected across
    portions of the central Appalachians/Mid-Atlantic into the
    Northeast through the early evening. Isolated flash flooding will
    be possible from hourly rainfall of 1-2 inches. Impacts will be
    greatest across any urban locations or where recent heavy rainfall
    has increased soil moisture.

    Discussion...1930Z radar imagery showed widely scattered
    thunderstorms extending from the central Appalachians into
    portions of eastern PA and southern NY with an average movement
    toward the northeast at 15-25 kt. Much of the Mid-Atlantic into
    the Northeast contained PWs near 2 inches and 1500-2500 J/kg
    MLCAPE with virtually no inhibition according to the 19Z SPC
    mesoanalysis. However, other than terrain and a lee trough (which
    extended from the Catskills down into VA near the Blue Ridge
    Mountains), forcing for ascent was not notable to focus any
    particular region over another.

    Despite the weak forcing, the broad region of ample instability
    should play a role in additional storm development as they move
    eastward over the next several hours. While sufficient shear
    exists for organized cells, most storms should be multi-cellular
    or pulse in nature with outflows contributing to additional storm
    evolution.

    The flash flood threat is broad but appears it will remain
    isolated in coverage. The greatest impacts will likely occur where
    higher rainfall rates can overlap with urban or otherwise
    sensitive locations...such as those that received heavy rain over
    the past week. Total rainfall from these storms should be capped
    at/near 3 inches, but the majority of cells will produce 1-2
    inches, with some areas not getting any rainfall through 01Z.

    Areas affected...southern NM into far western TX

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

    Valid 062043Z - 070230Z

    SUMMARY...Localized flash flooding will be possible through the
    remainder of the afternoon into the early evening across portions
    of southern NM into far western TX. Hourly rainfall of 0.5 to 1.0
    inches in 15-30 minutes will be possible.

    DISCUSSION...Visible satellite imagery at 2020Z showed the early
    stages of convective development along the Sacramento Mountains
    along with a mid-level vorticity max/remnant MCV in central Otero
    County. The vorticity max may be providing increased low level
    convergence into a portion of the Sacramento Mountains with
    area-wide PW values over 1 inch, an increase of 0.1 to 0.2 inches
    compared to 24 hours ago via blended TPW imagery. Instability was
    estimated to be 500-1000 J/kg via SPC mesoanalysis data and the
    18Z soundings from ABQ and EPZ.

    The larger scale pattern featured a mid to upper-level ridge
    centered across AZ, extending eastward across NM and westward
    toward southern CA into NV. The upper ridge placement/orientation
    results in very weak deeper layer steering flow (average of 5 kt).
    Expectations are for thunderstorms to continue along the terrain
    and following the weak mean steering flow toward the south over
    time. In addition to the slow movement, there could be cell
    mergers and very brief training to support locally higher rates
    approaching 2 inches in an hour, but the sub-hourly rain rates
    should be the main driver of the flash flood threat with 0.5 to
    1.0 inches expected in 15-30 minutes. A lack of shear should keep
    cells fairly disorganized in nature, but proximity to a few
    notable burn scars in the Sacramento Mountains is a concern for
    flash flood impacts.

    Areas affected...swrn MO, nrn AR into adjacent sern KS and nern
    OK.

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

    Valid 062202Z - 070400Z

    SUMMARY...Areas of heavy rain with hourly rainfall of 1 to 2+
    inches and storm totals of 2 to 4+ inches are expected through 04Z
    across portions of southwestern MO into northern AR and adjacent
    portions of southeastern KS and northeastern OK.

    DISCUSSION...Local radar imagery from 2130Z showed a multi-cell
    cluster of thunderstorms just to the ESE of Springfield, MO with
    movement off toward the SE, but with embedded training resulting
    in localized hourly rainfall amounts near 3 inches in the vicinity
    of Strafford, MO (ending 2115Z). While some isolated cells existed
    farther south near the MO/AR border into north-central AR, much of
    the region was quiet at the moment. Surface observations revealed
    a composite outflow boundary that extended from near the MO
    Bootheel into north-central AR near Clinton, before curving back
    toward the northwest into southwestern MO. Southwesterly low level
    flow represented by 10-15 kt in the 925-850 mb layer, was
    overrunning the rain-cooled outflow, helping to support activity
    across southern MO into northern AR. SPC mesoanalysis data from
    21Z showed PWs of 1.5 to 1.8 inches across the MOKSAROK 4-state
    region along with 1500-2500 J/kg MLCAPE with weak to negligible
    inhibition.

    Expectations are for the ongoing cluster over southern MO to
    continue advancing toward the southeast with time, but with
    upstream development along its southwestern flank, supported by
    low level flow advecting into the region. This will allow for
    training potential with hourly rainfall of 1 to 2 inches (but
    locally higher rates will remain possible). Near and beyond 00Z,
    the RAP forecasts a strengthening of the low level jet from
    eastern OK into southwestern MO, which may contribute to increased
    convective coverage and additional small thunderstorm clusters.
    Mean cluster evolution toward the south or southeast coupled with
    a mean west to east motion of individual cells could support
    additional training with possible areas of flash flooding through
    04Z.

    Areas affected...southeastern AZ into southwestern NM

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

    Valid 070030Z - 070530Z

    SUMMARY...A localized flash flood threat will exist across
    southeastern AZ into southwestern NM through 05Z to 06Z. While
    coverage looks to be isolated, locally high rainfall rates of 1 to
    2 in/hr look likely at times.

    DISCUSSION...0015Z visible satellite and radar imagery showed
    lingering thunderstorms across the higher terrain of
    eastern/southeastern AZ into southwestern NM, with some southward
    development of cells over the past 1-2 hours, on and well ahead of
    rain-cooled outflow. Cloud tops on infrared imagery have been
    warming over the higher terrain but convective outflow looks to be
    igniting additional development toward the south where MLCAPE is
    estimated to be 500-1500 J/kg with little to no inhibition via the
    00Z SPC mesoanalysis. In addition, PW values were similar to
    yesterday (1.0 to 1.4 inches), near climatology for early August.

    Isolated thunderstorm development on terrain features and storms
    forming on the advancing outflow will provide a locally increased
    chance for isolated flash flooding over the next 3-5 hours. Hourly
    and sub-hourly rainfall of 1-2 inches appears to fit the
    environment given 0-6 km AGL mean layer winds of less than 5 kt in
    advance of any outflow. Even storms developing on outflow could
    produce a quick 15-30 minutes of rain near 1 inch. Any flash flood
    issues are expected to remain localized and beyond 05Z - 06Z,
    forecast guidance suggests the bulk of any lingering convection
    should be south of the border into Mexico, following a mean
    northerly flow around the the east side of a mid-upper level ridge
    centered over northwestern AZ.

    Areas affected...Eastern Kansas

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

    Valid 070523Z - 071000Z

    Summary...Scattered showers and thunderstorms will expand across
    eastern Kansas and then repeat through the morning. Rainfall rates
    of 1-2"/hr will be common, leading to 2-4" of rain. Flash flooding
    is possible.

    Discussion...The regional radar mosaic tonight shows development
    of thunderstorms across portions of eastern Kansas. This activity
    is developing along the nose of a modest but intensifying 850mb
    LLJ which has risen to 20-30 kts over southern Kansas and into
    Oklahoma. This LLJ is emanating from a plume of 1.5" PWs and 2000
    J/kg MUCAPE, helping to transport these robust thermodynamics
    northward while concurrently isentropically ascending a stationary
    front to the south. The convergence along the nose combined with
    this isentropic lift is occurring within a region of mid-level
    thickness diffluence to additionally enhance ascent. It is this
    WAA beneath the collocated synoptic lift which is resulting in the
    rapid expansion of thunderstorms during the past hour.

    The high-res CAMs are in good general agreement that thunderstorms
    will continue to expand and then repeat across eastern Kansas.
    This will be in response to a subtle increase in the LLJ reaching
    30-35 kts, while slowly veering more to the ENE. The resulting WAA
    should provide sufficient thermodynamic replenishment to allow for
    storms to repeatedly fire and then track slowly E/SE through the
    morning. With rain rates progged to be 1-2"/hr at times (40-60%
    chance of 1"+/hr from both the HREF and REFS), repeating of these
    cells could cause stripes of 2-4" of rain with isolated higher
    amounts possible (5-10% chance of 5 inches according to the HREF).

    7-day rainfall across eastern Kansas has been quite variable, with
    some areas receiving very little rainfall while others have
    exceeded 200% of normal. This has resulted in a sharp gradient in
    soil moisture, and 3-hr FFG that varies from as low as 1.5" to as
    high as 4" (gradient from ENE to WSW). Despite this, the
    likelihood of repeating heavy rain rates creates FFG exceedance
    from the HREF that spikes to 20-30% later this morning, suggesting
    at least an isolated flash flood risk is developing. The greatest
    chance for impacts appears to be between Wichita and Topeka (in
    the vicinity of Emporia and north to I-70) where the LLJ
    convergence may maximize and linger, but any location that
    receives repeating rounds, especially atop the more saturated
    soils, could experience impacts due to flash flooding.

    Areas affected...Eastern Kansas

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

    Valid 070949Z - 071500Z

    Summary...Persistent and slow moving thunderstorms will continue
    across eastern Kansas through the morning. Rainfall rates as high
    as 2"/hr are likely within these storms, leading to 2-4" of rain
    with locally higher amounts. Flash flooding is possible.

    Discussion...The regional radar mosaic early this morning shows a
    continued expansion of clusters of thunderstorms positioned over
    eastern Kansas. This activity has been ongoing for several hours
    now, and is likely to continue well into the morning. Recent MRMS
    hourly rainfall has been as much as 2" in isolated locations, with
    overnight rain as much as 4" in a narrow corridor between I-35 and
    I-70 west of Emporia leading to FLASH unit streamflow response as
    high as 300 cfs/smi.

    The setup for continued heavy rainfall is quite favorable. Forcing
    for ascent continues to be driven by an 850mb LLJ that has
    strengthened to 40 kts over central KS, with rapidly veering winds
    between 925-700mb helping to advect this moisture (overlapped with
    MUCAPE around 2000 J/kg to improve thermodynamics) into the area.
    This is seen clearly on the advected LPW fields showing
    convergence of the 850-700mb PW directly into the ongoing
    convection. The accompanying WAA is not only converging into
    850-700mb boundary, but simultaneously isentropically ascending a
    stationary front just to the SW within a region of mid-level
    thickness diffluence to additionally support large-scale lift.
    This suggests that convection will continue well into the morning,
    which is supported by high-res CAMs simulated reflectivity.

    Rainfall rates of 1-2"/hr are likely to continue for several more
    hours as indicated by HREF and REFS neighborhood probabilities.
    This will increase the flash flood risk across the area as storms
    repeatedly develop within the WAA and then track E/SE. Although
    individual cells should be generally progressive as propagation
    vectors are above 20 kts, continued development back into the
    elevated thermodynamics to the west will support
    training/repeating, and the HREF indicates a 20-25% chance of
    locally as much as an additional 5" of rain through late morning.
    This will occur atop soils that have become saturated already by
    morning rainfall, so any additional rainfall will likely quickly
    become runoff, leading to an increased potential for isolated to
    scattered instances of flash flooding.

    Areas affected...much of Pennsylvania, far northern West Virginia,
    far southwestern New York State, western/northern Maryland

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

    Valid 071501Z - 072101Z

    Summary...A few spots of FFG exceedance were noted just northeast
    of Pittsburgh over the past couple hours. At least isolated
    instances of flash flooding are possible this morning, with an increasing/expanding threat expected through the early afternoon.

    Discussion...Scattered deep convection was noted primarily across
    the western 1/4 of PA this morning, with more isolated storms
    observed over northern WV, central OH, and far southwestern NY
    state. The storms are in an abundantly moist environment (2+ inch
    PW) that, when combined with modest westerly steering flow, was
    fostering areas of 1-1.75 inch/hr rain rates that were locally
    exceeding FFG in a few spots. The ongoing scenario should persist
    for a few hours due to continued surface heating of this moist
    airmass and ascent associated with a mid-level shortwave trough
    approaching from Ohio. Isolated instances of flash flooding are
    expected in the short term.

    With time, models (particularly CAMs) depict an increase in
    convective coverage through the afternoon hours particularly
    focused on central PA and vicinity. This increase in convective
    coverage should result in increase flash flood potential given the
    high PW airmass and modest steering flow, although models also
    hint at gradual upscale growth into clusters/linear segments that
    might forward propagate and limit the extent (space/intensity) of
    rain rates. Still, with downstream areas of central/eastern PA
    having been wet from prior rainfall, instances of flash flooding
    can be expected through the day on at least an isolated basis.
    This threat will likely extend beyond the 21Z expiration time of
    this MPD.

    Areas affected...southern Minnesota, northern Iowa, western
    Wisconsin

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

    Valid 071523Z - 072123Z

    Summary...Robust thunderstorm development over western Minnesota
    will pose a flash flood risk as it spreads eastward/southeastward
    across the discussion area through 21Z/4p central.

    Discussion...Thunderstorms have quickly developed across western
    MN and vicinity (near Willmar, Redwood Falls/west of Mankato) and
    were already producing spots of 1 inch/hr rain rates per MRMS.
    The storms were in a strongly unstable environment, with 7-8C/km
    mid-level lapse rates, 2000+ J/kg MLCAPE, and 1.5+ inch PW values
    all supporting intense updrafts with heavy rainfall. Storms are
    also forming ahead of a mid-level wave along the ND/MN border, and
    confluence along a surface trough/front across western portions of
    the discussion area was also fostering updraft development amid
    modest convective inhibition.

    Models/CAMs are in decent agreement that storms will continue to
    expand in coverage while remaining intense with eastward
    progression across southern MN/northern IA and perhaps western WI
    through the afternoon. There is potential that storms evolve into clusters/lines that forward propagate, though 1.5 inch PW will
    support locally heavy rainfall. FFG thresholds are in the 1.5
    inch/hr range (locally lower near Minneapolis/St. Paul Metro) and
    may be readily exceeded at times on at least an isolated basis.
    Soil moisture data (per NASA) suggests wet soils with downstream
    extent into southeastern MN and eastern IA, supporting at least an
    isolated flash flood threat in those areas. This will will likely
    persist through 21Z/4p central today.

    200 PM EDT Fri Aug 07 2026

    Areas affected...portions of New York, New Jersey, eastern
    Pennsylvania, western Massachusetts, and western Connecticut

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

    Valid 071800Z - 080000Z

    Summary...Scattered thunderstorms in from Pennsylvania and central
    New York state will eventually help prompt isolated to scattered
    instances of flash flooding across the discussion area through
    00Z/8p eastern.

    Discussion...Recent radar mosaic imagery depicts scattered
    thunderstorms across PA/NY generally from Ithaca southward through
    Harrisburg and eastward to near Scranton. The storms are in an
    abundantly moist airmass (near 2 inch PW), and with weak/modest
    steering flow across much of the region (10-15 knots from the
    WSW), local rain rates to around 2 inches/hr have been noted per
    MRMS at times due to slow storm motions.

    Meanwhile, the downstream airmass (encompassing much of the
    discussion area) is heating up/destabilizating and will soon
    support convection both 1) moving eastward from PA/NY into the
    region and 2) developing across the region. Ground conditions are wet/sensitive from prior rainfall over the past few days, and
    local FFGs are near zero across northern NJ and around 1 inch/hr
    from central NJ through Philadelphia northward into much of
    southern NY state. Areas of flash flooding are expected as storms
    migrate eastward.

    The overall degree of flash flood risk may depend on convective
    mode -- more forward propagating convection (with upscale growth)
    might limit rain rates some what. Recent radar trends are
    concerning though, and suggest that a mix of lines and merging
    cells can be expected, increasing local rain rates to 2 inches at
    times and on an isolated to scattered basis. Flash flooding is
    likely, and some concern exists for impacts to urban areas from
    Philadelphia northeastward to New York City and points northward.

    Areas affected...OH Valley into central/southern Appalachians

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

    Valid 071925Z - 080100Z

    Summary...At least isolated to scattered areas of flash flooding
    are expected across portions of the OH Valley into the central
    Appalachians through the early evening. Hourly rainfall of 1 to 2+
    inches and total rainfall of 2 to 4+ inches are expected.

    Discussion...19Z radar imagery across the upper OH Valley into
    portions of the central Appalachians showed scattered
    thunderstorms with a few regions of greater coverage. Trends over
    the past 1-2 hours have shown increased coverage of storms over
    southwestern OH, from eastern KY into western VA and along the
    Cumberland Plateau of TN. The storms farther north were located
    ahead of an advancing shortwave trough, with the right-entrance
    region of a 50-60 kt upper jet max enhancing upper level
    divergence across portions of the upper OH Valley. The broad
    region from the OH Valley to the Appalachians contained 1500-2500
    J/kg MLCAPE and modestly positive PW anomalies of +1 to +2 above
    the mean.

    Given speed shear was low to modest at best across the area, storm
    organization should remain limited across the region but the high
    moisture environment and varied storm motions ranging from ~15 kt
    up north to ~5 kt down south should allow for locally higher
    rainfall rates with hourly values of 1 to 2+ inches expected.
    Storm mergers with related outflow interactions and subsequent
    convective development could support brief areas of training as
    well. While the flash flood threat doesn't appear to be
    particularly focused in any given area across the OH Valley into
    the central and southern Appalachians, at least a few areas of
    flash flooding will be likely given flash flood guidance values
    under 2 inches in 1 and 3 hours for portions of the region,
    although flash flood coverage should remain limited due a lack of
    larger scale forcing.

    Areas affected...northwestern AZ into southwestern UT and portions
    of southern/eastern NV

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

    Valid 072005Z - 080200Z

    SUMMARY...A few areas of flash flooding will be possible through
    02Z from northwestern AZ into southwestern UT and portions of
    southern/eastern NV. Hourly to sub-hourly rainfall of 1-2 inches
    are expected.

    DISCUSSION...1945Z satellite imagery showed maturing cumulus and a
    few thunderstorms along portions of the higher terrain from
    eastern/southern NV into southwestern UT and northwestern AZ. PW
    values have increased compared to 24 hours ago over southern NV
    and southwestern UT with the 18Z VEF sounding showing 1.4 inches
    of precipitable water. PW values were most anomalous across
    southern NV with 150 to 200 percent of normal depicted for what is
    already the peak climatological max of moisture across the region.
    The upper pattern showed that the center of a mid to upper level
    ridge was located over southwestern UT with deeper layer steering
    flow of 5 kt or less over the region.

    While convective inhibition remains at this relatively early hour
    outside of the terrain, expectations are for continued daytime
    heating to erode remaining CIN across portions of the region with
    expanding thunderstorm coverage over the next 3 hours through 23Z.
    While the immediate Colorado River Valley along the NV/AZ may stay
    free from thunderstorms through the early evening given
    uncertainties of eroding CIN, slow movement of cells and the
    anomalous moisture should support high rainfall rates with 0.5 to
    1.0 inches in 15-30 minutes expected in neighboring locations and
    into the Slot Canyon region of southwestern UT. Flash flooding
    will be possible with storm totals generally in the 1-2 inch
    range, although storm totals locally over 2 inches will be
    possible.

    Areas affected...D.C. into northeastern MD, northern DE and
    southern NJ

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

    Valid 072044Z - 080130Z

    SUMMARY...Areas of heavy rain with 1 to 3+ inch totals will pose a
    risk of flash flooding from D.C. through northeastern MD, northern
    DE and southern NJ. The flash flood threat is expected to
    translate from NW to SE through 01Z.

    DISCUSSION...Area radar imagery at 2030Z showed scattered
    thunderstorms advancing ESE across eastern and southeastern PA
    with an outflow boundary advancing from southeastern PA into
    northern MD. Out ahead, a low level confluence axis was supporting
    slow moving thunderstorms from Baltimore and points north along
    I-95 in northeastern MD. While the outflow is progressive toward
    the southeast, convective development out ahead is aligned with
    the mean steering flow from WSW to ENE or SW to NE, which should
    allow for at least brief areas of training. Thunderstorms are
    expected to continue advancing south and east into the northern
    Mid-Atlantic over the next few hours and MLCAPE of 2000-2500 along
    with PWs near 2 inches will be supportive of high rainfall rates
    between 1 and 2 inches in an hour. However, where cell training
    maximizes, hourly totals in 2 inches will be possible. The flash
    flood threat will be greatest along the urban corridor from D.C.
    to Philadelphia, with the threat advancing downstream into
    portions of the northern DelMarVa Peninsula and portions of
    southern NJ into the early evening hours.

    Areas affected...southern MO into northern AR and eastern OK

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

    Valid 072136Z - 080330Z

    SUMMARY...Increasing thunderstorm coverage is likely across
    portions of southern MO into northern AR and eastern OK through
    00Z. Training of heavy rain within the expanding area of
    thunderstorms is expected to allow for 2 to 4 inch totals (locally
    higher) and areas of flash flooding through 03Z.

    DISCUSSION...Visible satellite imagery from 2120Z showed a
    well-defined MCV over western MO with isolated convective
    development to its southwest over southwestern MO. Meanwhile area
    radar imagery showed a SSE propagating cluster of thunderstorms
    along with an MCV over south-central OK, preceded by an outflow
    boundary to its south, curving northward into eastern OK, where
    cloud cover from the MO MCV has contributed to a differential
    heating boundary between southwestern MO and areas west and north
    of the MO MCV. A smaller outflow boundary was also analyzed in the
    vicinity of the Ouachita Mountains over south-central AR. The
    environment to the south and east of the large
    outflow/differential heating boundary contained an estimated
    2000-3000 J/kg MLCAPE and PWs of 1.8 to 2.0 inches via 21Z SPC
    mesoanalysis data.

    While there is likely some weak subsidence behind a smaller MCV
    over north-central AR, advancement of the western MO and OK MCVs
    slowly southeast will be coincident with an increase in the
    southwesterly 925-850 mb winds from eastern OK into western
    AR/southwestern MO into the 15-25 kt range per recent RAP
    forecasts. The approaching mid-level ascent coupled with low level
    overrunning beneath broadly diffluent/divergent flow aloft should
    support an increase in thunderstorms from eastern OK into southern
    MO and central/northern AR and over the next 2-3 hours. Individual
    cells tracking from west to east are expected to focus axes of
    training heavy rain with 1 to 2+ inch per hour rainfall, as the
    cluster of storms tracks eastward/southeastward with time. Some
    areas of flash flooding may occur as a result.

    Areas affected...eastern third of NM

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

    Valid 080007Z - 080510Z

    SUMMARY...Isolated flash flooding will be possible across portions
    of east-central to eastern NM through about 06Z. Peak hourly
    rainfall of 1 to 2 inches can be expected in a few locations.

    DISCUSSION...2335Z infrared satellite and radar imagery showed
    ongoing thunderstorms across portions of the Sacramento Mountains,
    northward toward about I-40. Additional, scattered thunderstorms
    were located over portions of northeastern NM, to the north of
    I-40 and east of I-25. An axis of estimated MLCAPE ranging from
    500 to 1500 J/kg extended southwestward from the northern TX
    Panhandle into east-central NM where precipitable water values of
    0.8 to 1.1 inches existed, per 23Z SPC mesoanalysis data.

    The northern half of NM was situated beneath the southeastern edge
    of a large mid to upper-level ridge centered over southwestern UT,
    with weak deeper layer steering flow from the north to northeast
    of less than 10 kt. This was contributing to a few slow moving
    cells but a broader outflow boundary was becoming better defined
    from Torrance County, northeastward into northeastern San Miguel
    County. Meanwhile, the current 15 kt VAD wind measured 850 mb wind
    at KFDX is forecast to increase following the typical diurnal
    cycle into the 20-25 kt range by 04Z from the northern TX/NM
    border into portions of eastern NM, which should increase
    overrunning and convergence along the leading edge of the outflow
    boundary as it likely continues to advance S to SSE over the next
    few hours. The environment will be supportive of locally high
    hourly rainfall values of 1 to 1.5 inches, but with isolated
    hourly totals near 2 inches possible. These high rates are
    expected to affect portions of the eastern third of NM over the
    next 3-5 hours. The flash flood threat will likely end from north
    to south with time with isolated storm totals generally expected
    to be capped in the 1 to 2 inch range (locally 2+ inch totals
    possible) given an expectation for increasing forward speed with
    the advancing outflow.

    Areas affected...eastern IN into OH/northern KY

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

    Valid 080140Z - 080700Z

    Summary...Areas of flash flooding will be possible from parts of
    eastern IN into OH and possibly northern portions of KY through
    07Z. Training will support hourly rainfall of 1 to 2 inches with
    isolated totals of 2 to 4 inches.

    Discussion...Radar imagery through 0115Z showed an increase in the
    coverage of scattered thunderstorms over eastern IN, located just
    on the cool side of a remnant outflow boundary that extended from
    just northeast of Indianapolis, IN into northeastern KY. Water
    vapor imagery showed an approaching shortwave trough from WI to
    eastern MO, advancing eastward, with about 15-20 kt of 925-850 mb
    flow in place from the OH River into central IN/OH, out ahead of
    the shortwave trough. Central IN seemed to have both the high
    moisture (1.8 inch PW) and notable instability (2100 J/kg MLCAPE)
    seen on the ILX and ILN soundings, but ILX was drier and ILN was
    more stable.

    As the upstream shortwave continues to advance east over the next
    6 hours, RAP guidance shows the 925-850 mb flow out ahead
    increasing into the 20-30 kt range over IN/OH/northern KY. The
    increasing ascent ahead of the shortwave and isentropic lift over
    the remnant outflow boundary should allow for increasing
    thunderstorm coverage across eastern IN into OH over the next 3-6
    hours. Areas of stability currently present over southern OH due
    to earlier rainfall are expected to destabilize later tonight with
    the advection of low level moisture back into the region. While
    850-300 mb mean layer winds are progressive from the W to WSW a
    20-25 kt, the increasing low level jet of nearly a similar
    orientation could support some repeating and training of any
    smaller thunderstorm clusters that develop. The environment will
    be supportive of hourly rainfall between 1 and 2 inches with
    isolated storm totals of 2-4 inches. With much of the area
    containing 3-hr flash flood guidance values of around 2 inches,
    some areas of flash flooding may occur through 07Z.

    Areas affected...Southern Missouri through far Northeast Texas

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

    Valid 080324Z - 080900Z

    Summary...Clusters of thunderstorms will continue to move slowly
    across the Ozarks and towards the ArkLaTex overnight. Rainfall
    rates of 1-2"/hr are expected, which through slow storm motions or
    repeating cells could produce 2-3" of rain with locally higher
    amounts. Flash flooding is possible.

    Discussion...The regional radar mosaic this evening shows multiple
    clusters of thunderstorms moving slowly from southern Missouri
    through far northeast Texas. This activity is developing in
    response to multiple MCVs noted in radar, downstream of a more
    prominent shortwave digging out of the Central Plains. These
    features are driving locally enhanced ascent, with additional lift
    occurring along outflows and remnant differential heating
    boundaries. The thermodynamic environment across the area is
    characterized by PWs around 2 inches and collocated MUCAPE of
    1000-2000 J/kg, to support hourly rainfall which has been measured
    via MRMS to be as high as 1.5 - 2.0 inches in the past few hours.

    The high-res CAMs differ in the evolution with respect to coverage
    and position of convection, but nearly all solutions show at least
    scattered thunderstorms with heavy rain rates continuing the next
    few hours. The focus will likely be along and south of the current
    MCVs as they locally enhanced ascent, while modest 25kt bulk shear
    helps organize new development into additional clusters. The HREF
    and REFS both indicate a 30-50% chance of at least 1"/hr rain
    rates for several more hours, supported by modest 850mb inflow
    resupplying the favorable thermodynamics northward into the area.
    0-6km mean winds are progged to remain light at just around 5 kts,
    and as the inflow veers overnight, Corfidi vectors may collapse to
    support weak and chaotic storm motions, aided by boundary
    collisions and storm mergers. This will create 2-3" of rain with
    locally higher amounts above 4" possible

    Although portions of the Ozarks of AR and MO have experienced
    slightly above normal rainfall the past 7-days, much of this
    region has been dry, leading to elevated 3-hr FFG that is
    generally 3-4 inches. These dry antecedent conditions will likely
    limit the flash flood potential overnight. However, an isolated
    risk will continue for several more hours, especially where these
    intense rain rates move most slowly or across any of the locally
    more vulnerable soils.

    Areas affected...Arkansas into far northern Louisiana

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

    Valid 080957Z - 081500Z

    Summary...Showers and thunderstorms will expand across
    southwest/south-central Arkansas through late morning. Rainfall
    rates of 2"/hr are expected, which through slow storm motions
    could produce 2-4" of rain with locally higher amounts. Flash
    flooding is possible.

    Discussion...The regional radar mosaic early this morning shows a
    rapid uptick in thunderstorm activity across southwest Arkansas.
    This activity is blossoming rapidly downstream of an MCV evident
    in the GOES-E ProxyVis satellite imagery, with the rapid growth
    driving a coincident increase in LightningCast probabilities. This
    suggests that convection will continue to strengthen the next few
    hours, supported by an impressive overlap of PWs measured via GPS
    of around 2 inches and MUCAPE of 1000 J/kg. Despite this
    convection being quite fresh, hourly rainfall in excess of 1 inch
    has already been measured by MRMS, additionally suggestive of the
    favorable environment in place.

    The high-res CAMs are struggling with this early activity, as both
    the HRRR and RRFS are completely missing this new development.
    However, there is a signal in both ARWs which is translating to a
    reasonable solution in the HREF blended-mean QPF suggesting 2-4"
    of rain with locally higher amounts above 5" possible (10-20%
    chance from the HREF). This will be due to the anticipated
    extremely slow movement of the convection as mean 0-6km winds
    remain just around 5-10 kts.

    850mb inflow is modest at just 10-15 kts as reflected by both the
    SPC RAP analysis and regional VWPs. However, this is still
    sufficient to drive strong convergence as it exceeds the mean wind
    by almost almost double in some places. The veering of this inflow
    will additionally result in Corfidi vectors becoming aligned
    against the mean wind and collapsing, which will result in
    backbuilding and training cells with net motion approaching 0kts
    at times, lengthening the duration of heavy rainfall.

    Antecedent conditions are quite dry (NASA SPoRT 0-40cm soil
    moisture generally below the 10th percentile) from a lack of
    recent rainfall, and 3-hr FFG is elevated at 3-4 inches. However,
    the favorable setup for very slow moving storms with intense rain
    rates could still overwhelm soils, at least locally, leading to
    isolated to scattered instances of flash flooding.

    Areas affected...West Virginia to Central Pennsylvania

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

    Valid 081257Z - 081557Z

    Summary... Isolated flash flooding possible across portions of
    Western Virginia to central Pennsylvania.

    Discussion...Satellite shows brightening cloud tops and increasing
    lightning near the West Virginia and Pennsylvania border. Rainfall
    rates are nearing an inch per hour on an isolated basis with
    eastward moving, training cells embedded in ~30 kt westerly flow
    aloft. Storms are embedded with an airmass characterized by
    1.5-1.7 inch PWATS and persistent low-level moist advection into
    the discussion area. Instability is marginal (~1000 J/kg), but
    sufficient to maintain ongoing activity. Additionally, a
    mid-level shortwave trough centered over northern Ohio was moving
    toward the discussion area, providing ascent to support continued
    heavy rainfall beneath the storms.

    Isolated flash flooding is possible in sensitive terrain in the
    northern West Virginia -- potentially including towns of Fairmount
    and Morgantown. The foothills of the Appalachians in southwestern
    and central Pennsylvania will also be susceptible to localized
    flooding. A quick 1-2 inches of rain in a hour may exceed local
    FFG thresholds (currently in the 1-1.5 inch/hr range). The cells
    are likely to persist as they move eastward at around 15-25 knots,
    reaching portions of south-central PA and western Maryland through
    15Z/11a eastern.

    Areas affected...ArkLaTex and vicinity

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

    Valid 081555Z - 081855Z

    Summary...Localized flash flooding risk continues across the
    Arklatex...

    Discussion... A near stationary band of thunderstorms has
    developed across Southwest Arkansas along an outflow boundary from
    convection across the area this morning. Convection is also
    forming along this boundary westward to the Texas/Oklahoma border.
    Satellite shows convection and lightning expanding within this
    storm cluster. Rainfall rates (per MRMS) are as high as 2-3" per
    hour on a localized basis, nearing hourly FFG thresholds, while
    MRMS Flash responses were low to moderate, suggestive of local
    runoff potential beneath ongoing cells.

    The storms are embedded in 1000 J/kg MLCAPE (per RAP/SPC
    mesoanalyses) and 2 inch PW values, supporting heavy rainfall and
    efficient rainfall processes. This moisture/instability combo
    along with subtle confluence rooted in the 850-700mb layer should
    sustain storms for at least another couple hours. Weak steering
    flow aloft will enable slow/negligible storm motions, and spots of
    2-3 inch/hr rain rates are likely to occur while storms persist.

    Models/CAMs suggest that this threat may diminish through 18-19Z
    or so as weak low- to mid-level convergence further weakens.These
    trends will be monitored through the early afternoon as there
    remains some uncertainty if the storms may persist beyond this
    time period.

    Areas affected...I-95 urban corridor from Baltimore to
    Philadelphia

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

    Valid 081624Z - 081954Z

    Summary...A few areas of heavy rainfall could pose a primarily
    urban flash flood threat along the I-95 corridor over the next 2-4
    hours.

    Discussion...A forward-propagating line of convection is currently
    organized along an axis from York/Harrisburg, PA southwestward to
    Frederick, MD. The storms are moving at a decent pace (around
    25-30 knots or so), but are in an environment characterized by 1.8
    inch PW values and ~2000 J/kg MLCAPE. The downstream airmass will
    likely support a continued heavy rainfall threat with this
    activity, and areas of 0.5 inch/hr rain rates (locally higher)
    will accompany this activity as it reaches the Baltimore to
    Philadelphia I-95 corridor and surrounding area through
    approximately 1730-1830Z (130-230p eastern). Local FFG thresholds
    are near zero across Baltimore and closer to 1 inch/hr near
    Philadelphia, though urban sensitivities could result in excessive
    runoff even with sub-FFG threshold rainfall rates. Areas of
    primarily urban flash flood instances are possible.

    Areas affected...Arklatex

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

    Valid 081843Z - 090030Z

    SUMMARY...Slow-moving thunderstorms with heavy rainfall rates
    continue across portions of the Arklatex region. Additional areas
    of flash flooding will be possible over the next several hours.

    DISCUSSION...Visible satellite imagery and radar data suggests
    evidence of a slow-moving vort across the Arklatex region which
    continues to interact with a very moist and unstable airmass for
    redeveloping areas of heavy showers and thunderstorms. MLCAPE
    values across far northeast TX through northern LA and far
    southern AR are on the order of 1500 to 2500 J/kg, with PWs of
    generally 1.8 to 2.0 inches based on the latest RAP analysis.

    This strongly favorable thermodynamic environment coupled with
    small-scale vort dynamics and surface outflow boundary activity
    should help to maintain a convective threat across the broader
    Arklatex region over the next several hours.

    Rainfall rates will be capable of reaching 2 to 3 inches/hour with
    the stronger storms given the level of moisture and instability
    that is in place. While the shear is limited, these storms should
    still have some localized organization along any outflow boundary
    collisions. This coupled with slow cell-motions overall may allow
    for some additional rainfal totals of 3 to 4+ inches to occur.

    FFG values are quite high over the region, and therefore these
    additional rains should generally favor an isolated and mainly
    urban flash flood threat going through the afternoon and early
    evening hours.

    Areas affected...Mid-South

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

    Valid 081812Z - 090000Z

    SUMMARY...Increasing coverage of showers and thunderstorms with
    high rainfall rates will promote concerns for at least isolated
    areas of flash flooding going through the afternoon and early
    evening hours.

    DISCUSSION...The latest GOES-E IR satellite imagery shows cooling
    cloud tops across areas of northern MS, western TN and northwest
    AL in association with developing clusters of showers and
    thunderstorms. Additional activity is also noted farther east
    across the Cumberland Plateau region of eastern TN. The activity
    is initiating and expanding in coverage as a well-defined
    mid-level vort center over eastern AR drifts east into a very
    moist and unstable airmass pooled up across the broader Mid-South.
    Farther east, there is also the influence from terrain and
    differential heating boundaries.

    MLCAPE values of 2000 to 3000 J/kg and PWs of 1.75 to 2+ inches
    are in place across the region. The strong boundary layer heating
    with solar insolation will continue to help drive increasing
    levels of instability over the next few hours, and this will
    couple with the evolution of smaller-scale outflow boundary
    activity for additional convection to develop and expand in
    coverage. Local orographic ascent near areas of elevation will
    also be a key player in driving more areas of convection.

    The morning 12Z RAOB soundings from KLZK, KBNA and KBMX confirm
    rather high WBZ heights and plenty of moisture extending through
    the vertical column. This will support high efficiency with this
    afternoon's convection with high rainfall rates that will be
    capable of reaching 2 to 3 inches/hour with the stronger storms.

    The lack of effective bulk shear suggests the convective mode
    should mainly be pulse in nature, but there may be enough outflow
    boundary collisions and cold pool activity to facilitate some
    loosely organized multi-cell convection. This coupled with slow
    cell-motions and some cell-merger potential may help yield some
    localized 3 to 4+ inch rainfall totals over the next several
    hours. This will drive a threat for at least isolated areas of
    flash flooding, with the more urbanized locations at greatest risk
    for impacts.

    557 PM EDT Sat Aug 08 2026

    Areas affected...Central to Northwest AZ...Southern NV...Southwest
    UT

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

    Valid 082157Z - 090345Z

    SUMMARY...An isolated threat for flash flooding will exist from
    scattered areas of monsoonal showers and thunderstorms through
    early this evening.

    DISCUSSION...The latest GOES-W satellite imagery, LightningCast,
    and GREMLIN products show scattered areas of locally heavy showers
    and thunderstorms impacting portions of southeast NV through
    southwest UT and northwest/central AZ. New areas of convection are
    expected to initiate and locally expand in coverage this afternoon
    through early this evening as the full diurnal heating cycle plays
    out.

    Much of the activity will continue to be terrain-focused, but the
    activity will increasingly move off areas of higher terrain over
    the next few hours and propagate downwind into areas of stronger
    boundary layer instability and also with potential for interacting
    with multiple outflow boundaries.

    SBCAPE values have reached locally as high as 1000 J/kg with the
    continuation of strong boundary layer heating, and with areas of
    terrain still enhancing some differential heating boundaries,
    convection will still be capable of focusing along these mesoscale
    features throughout the afternoon.

    PWs are as high as 1 to 2 standard deviations above normal across
    areas of southern NV down into western AZ. These elevated PWs are
    due to the deeper layer transport of monsoonal moisture around the
    western periphery of the subtropical ridge over the Southwest.

    The model guidance is overall pretty modest with its QPF over the
    next several hours, but with areas of deeper and sustainable cloud
    top cooling seen, there will be concerns for locally heavy
    rainfall. Slow cell-motions and the degree of moisture that is in
    place may foster some rainfall rates of up to 1.5 inches/hour, but
    this would be highly isolated in nature. The instability uptick
    across areas of central and western AZ to the west of the Mogollon
    Rim may facilitate the development or sustenance of westward
    moving convection off the terrain of the Mogollon Rim. Some spotty
    rainfall amounts may reach up to 2 inches going through early this
    evening, and this may result in an isolated occurrence of some
    flash flooding. The local burn scar and slot canyon areas will be
    most susceptible to potential impacts along with the normally dry
    washes.

    Areas affected...Southwest to Central NC

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

    Valid 082248Z - 090300Z

    SUMMARY...An isolated and mainly urban flash flood threat will
    exist this evening. This will include the Raleigh-Durham
    metropolitan area.

    DISCUSSION...The late-day GOES-E IR satellite imagery shows some
    cooling convective tops across areas of southwest to central NC in
    association with a broken axis of heavy showers and thunderstorms.
    Surface data shows the activity focused along a well-defined and
    convectively reinforced surface trough.

    MLCAPE values of 1500 to 2000+ J/kg are pooled along this
    boundary, and it is quite moist with PWs of 1.75 to 2.0 inches in
    place. This airmass combined with modest moisture convergence and
    weakly divergent flow aloft may help to sustain the convective
    threat at least into a portion of the evening time frame.

    Some of the 18Z HREF/REFS guidance suggests some locally heavy
    rains with potential for 1 to 2 inch/hour rainfall rates and
    perhaps a few spotty 2 to 4 inch rainfall totals where some highly
    localized cell-training takes place. As the aforementioned
    instability pool is exhausted, the convection should weaken later
    this evening, but at least for a few hours this evening, there
    will be an isolated and mainly urban flash flood threat. This will
    include areas near and west of the Raleigh-Durham metropolitan
    area.

    Areas affected...Portions of the Sierra Nevada

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

    Valid 090017Z - 090400Z

    SUMMARY...Slow-moving and locally anchored thunderstorms over the
    Sierra Nevada may persist for a few more hours. This will maintain
    at least a localized flash flood threat over sensitive sloped
    terrain and possibly burn scars.

    DISCUSSION...Relatively anomalous monsoonal moisture pooling along
    the crest of the Sierra Nevada working in tandem with the diurnal
    heating cycle and orographic ascent has led to the development of
    slow-moving thunderstorms over the higher terrain.

    Radar and satellite imagery shows some of these cells becoming
    quite focused over the higher terrain of Alpine and Mono Counties
    in particular, and these cells may tend to persist locally for
    another couple of hours. Terrain-driven circulations related to
    the differential heating boundaries are the primary driver of some
    of these cell-anchored storms, and with the moisture profiles that
    are in place, some additional rainfall totals of 1 to 2+ inches
    will be possible. This is being aided by pockets of MUCAPE around
    500 to 1000+ J/kg.

    Additional areas of small-scale flash flooding will be possible
    which may include burn scar locations and also the more sensitive
    sloped terrain.

    Areas affected...Portions of the Upper OH Valley and Northern
    Mid-Atlantic

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

    Valid 090207Z - 090700Z

    SUMMARY...Expanding clusters of thunderstorms with some
    cell-training concerns may result in at least some isolated areas
    of flash flooding going into the overnight hours.

    DISCUSSION...The latest GOES-E IR satellite imagery along with
    radar data shows some clusters of convection tending to expand in
    coverage across areas of central to northeast OH, western PA, and
    into southwest NY. The activity is focusing along and ahead of a
    cold front dropping southeast across the region as an upper-level
    trough and corridor of upper-level jet energy transits the Great
    Lakes region.

    MLCAPE values of 1000 to 2000 J/kg are pooled up across these
    areas along with an axis of 1.75+ inch PWs. This coupled with
    broadly divergent flow aloft and a belt of stronger shear will
    help to drive potentially some additional expansion of convection
    over the next few hours.

    Some localized cell-training will be possible with some of the
    swaths of convection over the next few hours, and with rainfall
    rates of 1 to 2 inches/hour expected with the stronger storms,
    there may be some spotty areas of 2 to 3+ inch rainfall totals.

    FFG values are generally rather low across the Upper OH Valley and
    adjacent areas of the northern Mid-Atlantic, so these corridors of thunderstorms going into portions of the overnight period may
    result in at least some isolated areas of flash flooding.

    Areas affected...South Dakota through Southern Minnesota

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

    Valid 090534Z - 091130Z

    Summary...Showers and thunderstorms are expected to increase in
    coverage during the next several hours and train across eastern
    South Dakota into Minnesota. Rainfall rates of 2"/hr are likely,
    which through training could produce 2-4+" of rain. Flash flooding
    is possible.

    Discussion...The regional radar mosaic this evening shows a slow
    expansion of slow moving thunderstorms near the SD/ND border, with
    additional scattered thunderstorms farther east into MN. This
    activity is blossoming in response to a strengthening LLJ emerging
    from NE, now being measured via regional VWPs as high as 40-55
    kts. The S/SW orientation of this LLJ is drawing impressive
    thermodynamics northward as reflected by GPS measured PWs of 1.3
    to 1.5 inches, around the 90th percentile for the date,
    overlapping a ribbon of extreme MUCAPE of 3000-4000 J/kg. A weak
    shortwave digging out of ND to interact with this LLJ in a region
    of modest mid-level thickness diffluence is additionally enhancing
    ascent, and it is likely activity is on the precipice of rapid
    expansion as reflected by a steady increase in LightningCast
    probabilities over the Dakotas/Minnesota.

    The HRRR is initializing poorly tonight, but some of the high-res
    CAMs including the RRFS have at least some semblance of the
    current activity to help with the progged evolution. As the LLJ
    continues to ramp up and surge northward, it will sharpen both the
    convergence axis and the resulting CAPE gradient to cause what
    should be a NW to SE arcing line of thunderstorms through the
    overnight. Mean 0-6km winds from the west (and region of more
    impressive thermodynamics) combined with Corfidi vectors aligned
    to the LLJ nose suggest upstream development will occur, leading
    to training as cells move repeatedly to the southeast. With
    rainfall rates potentially eclipsing 2"/hr at times (10-20% chance
    from the REFS), this could lean to a corridor of 2-4" of rainfall
    with locally higher amounts possible.

    7-day rainfall across this region has been below normal with just
    a few exceptions in southern MN. This has allowed 3-hr FFG to
    recover to 2-2.5 inches, for which REFS exceedance probabilities
    peak around 30%. This suggests that despite the relatively dry
    antecedent conditions, the training of these intense rain rates
    could still overwhelm the soils, leading to instances of flash
    flooding through the overnight and into the early morning hours.

    Areas affected...Iowa, eastern Nebraska, northern Missouri

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

    Valid 090724Z - 091300Z

    Summary...Showers and thunderstorms will continue to develop
    across western Iowa overnight with a slow advance eastward through
    morning. Rainfall rates of 1-2"/hr are likely, leading to 2-3" of
    rain with locally higher amounts. This may result in flash
    flooding.

    Discussion...During the past few hours, the regional radar mosaic
    has shown a slow but steady expansion of thunderstorms across
    western Iowa. This activity is blossoming along the eastern edge
    of the intense 850mb LLJ centered over Nebraska (measured via VWPs
    to above 50 kts). Veering winds between 850-700mb is helping to
    transport the accompanying robust thermodynamics over Nebraska
    eastward, and the resulting convergence on the edge of the +12C
    700mb is leading to regenerating thunderstorms within the
    associated WAA.

    Hourly rainfall measured via MRMS has been generally 0.75 to 1.25
    inches within the more intense cells. However, the coverage of
    these higher rain rates has begun to expand, suggesting the flash
    flood risk is increasing. As the core of the LLJ moves slowly
    eastward, the accompanying veered flow should push MUCAPE to above
    2000 J/kg coincident with a PW plume of 1.7 to 1.8 inches. This
    will support expanding convection with rain rates peaking at
    1-2"/hr as suggested by HREF and REFS probabilities reaching
    20-30% for 1"/hr, despite the poor initialization of many of the
    high-res CAMs this morning.

    The persistent WAA should generally push the convection eastward
    with time in response to the translation of warming mid-level
    temperatures. However, this will promote at least a short duration
    of backbuilding convection with storms developing upstream near
    the Nebraska/Iowa border and then translating E/SE at 10-20 kts.
    Where any repeating/backbuilding storms can occur, 2-3" of rain is
    possible with locally higher amounts.

    Soil moisture across the region is generally normal to slightly
    below normal according to NASA SPoRT. However, recent 7-day
    rainfall that has been as much as 400% of normal over southern
    Iowa/northern Missouri has reduced 3-hr FFG to around 2 inches.
    While any backbuilding of these intense rain rates could lead to
    instances of flash flooding, the greatest risk appears to be over
    southern Iowa, southeast Nebraska, and northern Missouri, where
    antecedent conditions make the area a bit more vulnerable to
    runoff and flash flooding impacts.

    Areas affected...central into southeastern Wisconsin

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

    Valid 091422Z - 091922Z

    Summary...A mature convective complex near Wisconsin Dells was
    migrating southeastward while producing heavy rainfall. Flash
    flood potential will increase once this complex reaches
    urban/sensitive areas of southeastern Wisconsin over the next 2-4
    hours (though 18Z/1p central).

    Discussion...Areas of 1-2.5 inch/hr rain rates were noted with a
    convective complex currently near the Wisconsin Dells/Portage
    areas (per MRMS). The complex was migrating southeastward at a
    decent pace (around 30 knots) but was exhibiting both
    forward-propagation and local mergers, enhancing rain rates on a
    localized basis. FFG thresholds in the immediate vicinity of the
    complex were in the 2-2.5 inch/hr range, suggesting
    isolated/localized flash flood potential in the short term.

    Storms are moving east-southeastward along a warm front currently.
    Their trajectory will result in heavy rainfall approaching more
    urbanized areas of southeastern WI (Milwaukee and vicinity) over
    the next 2-4 hours, and should the orientation/organization of the
    complex remain during this timeframe, an increase in local flash
    flood potential will exist. Downstream PW values of 1.5+ inches
    and instability (around 1000 J/kg MLCAPE along/south of the warm
    front) will continue to support heavy rainfall. Furthermore, FFG
    thresholds decrease to around 1 inch/hr with southeastward extent,
    which has potential for exceedance as the complex migrates through
    the region. Flash flooding is possible on an isolated basis -
    particularly in low-lying/urban/sensitive areas.

    Areas affected...Portions of the TN Valley and Southern
    Appalachians

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

    Valid 091800Z - 100000Z

    SUMMARY...Expanding areas of showers and thunderstorms with high
    rainfall rates will pose a threat for localized flash flooding.
    Some sensitive sloped terrain and the more urbanized locations
    will be at greatest risk for impacts this afternoon.

    DISCUSSION...The latest GOES-E visible satellite imagery along
    with LightningCast data shows convective initiation taking place
    across central to northeast AL up through northern GA, eastern TN
    and adjacent areas of the southern Appalachians.

    The convection is developing in an unstable and moisture-rich
    environment with MLCAPE values of 1000 to 2000 J/kg, and PWs of
    1.75 to 2.0 inches. This thermodynamic environment coupled with
    modest orographic ascent over the Cumberland Plateau and adjacent
    southern Appalachians will foster an uptick in the coverage of
    rather slow-moving and locally terrain-anchored showers and
    thunderstorms going through the afternoon hours. Some very weak
    ascent also around the eastern flanks of vort energy over the
    Mid-South may provide some additional support for convection, but
    largely the convective threat today is being driven by orographic
    ascent and differential heating boundaries. In time, some outflow
    boundary collisions will favor additional convective development.

    Rainfall rates with the stronger and more focused cells will be
    capable of reaching 1.5 to 2.5 inches/hour. The latest consensus
    of HREF and REFS data suggest some localized 3 to 4 inch rainfall
    totals will be possible. This would likely be sufficient to drive
    a localized threat for some flash flooding, including some of the
    more sensitive sloped terrain and urban corridors where runoff
    would be more enhanced.

    Areas affected...portions of northern Illinois, northwestern
    Indiana

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

    Valid 091730Z - 092030Z

    Summary...Areas of flash flooding are possible through 2030Z/3:30p
    central.

    Discussion...An earlier, mature MCS has migrated southeastward
    primarily across WI and the border region between WI and IL over
    the past several hours. Recent radar/satellite imagery depicts
    more focused development on the southwestern flank of this mature
    MCS extending from near Waukegan to near Rochelle. These storms
    were progressive owing to 25 kt mean flow aloft, although 1.7 inch
    PW and 2000+ J/kg MLCAPE was enabling local rain rates to reach 1
    inch/hr as storms mature. A subtle mid-level shortwave trough
    over central IL was also likely aiding in convective development
    in tandem with southward surging outflow from far southern WI into
    the discussion area.

    The overall result of this evolving mesoscale pattern is localized
    areas of 1 inch/hr rain rates that should affect populated/urban
    areas of northeastern IL into northwestern IN over at least the
    next 3 hours (through 2030Z). The combination of urban surfaces
    and FFG thresholds near 1 inch/hr should support at least a
    localized risk of flash flood impacts 1) as storms mature and 2)
    near any local mergers that may occur.

    Areas affected...Southeast GA...Northeast FL

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

    Valid 091829Z - 100015Z

    SUMMARY...Slow-moving thunderstorms with locally extreme rainfall
    rates may cause some areas of especially urban flash flooding this
    afternoon and early this evening.

    DISCUSSION...Cooling convective tops are seen across areas of
    southeast GA and far northeast FL as sea breeze convergence
    gradually attempts to push inland where interacting with a very
    moist and unstable airmass. MLCAPE values have increased to over
    3000 J/kg in a corridor just inland of the coast to the west of
    Brunswick and down to the northwest of Jacksonville.

    LightningCast data shows high probabilities (over 70 percent) of
    CI taking place to the west and southwest of the current activity
    over the next 60 minutes, and visible satellite images show an
    increasingly agitated CU/TCU field more broadly across southeast
    GA and northeast FL, so the overall convective footprint should
    expand in coverage over the next few hours.

    PWs are very high and reflective of a deeply tropical environment
    with values around 2.25 inches, and this coupled with the
    instability will favor extreme rainfall rates. Some rainfall rates
    of 2 to 3 inches/hour are expected, and with weak steering
    currents driving slow cell-motions, some spotty 3 to 5 inch
    rainfall amounts will be possible.

    This is supported by a consensus of the 12Z HREF/REFS solutions
    which also show some 20 to 40 percent probabilities of seeing the
    3-hour FFG being exceeded. As a result, some areas of mainly urban
    flash flooding will be possible over the next several hours.

    Areas affected...Northern IL...Northern IN...Southern Lower
    MI...Northwest OH

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

    Valid 092038Z - 100235Z

    SUMMARY...A strong MCS advancing across portions of the Midwest
    will continue to foster a threat for at least isolated areas of
    flash flooding going through early this evening.

    DISCUSSION...The latest GOES-E IR satellite imagery along with
    radar shows a generally progressive MCS advancing across portions
    of far northeast IL through far northwest IN and into southwest
    Lower MI. This convective line is generally focused in close
    proximity to a warm front attempting to lift off to the northeast
    out ahead of a shortwave trough and associated low center crossing
    through northern IL.

    Very unstable and moist air is situated across the warm sector to
    the south of this front with MLCAPE values of 3000 to 3500 J/kg
    pooled up across north-central IL through northwest IN. Surface
    dewpoints in the mid 70s are contributing to these high CAPE
    values, and fostering PWs of 1.75 to 2.0 inches.

    Given the elevated shear values (~30 to 40 kts) in conjunction
    with strong thermodynamics, the ongoing MCS is likely to be
    sustainable with a motion off to the east or east-southeast over
    the next few hours. Convergence along the warm front along with
    isentropic ascent will play a role in maintaining the convective
    threat as the MCS moves across northern IN, southern Lower MI and
    eventually northwest OH.

    The southwest tail of the MCS is an area where some cell-training
    concerns may occur to the extent of fostering some flash flood
    risk. Also, with a cold pool established across parts of northern
    IL in the wake of this MCS, the upstream advance of very
    moist/unstable low-level southwest flow over top of it may result
    in there being some regeneration of elevated convection. Radar and
    satellite imagery is already hinting at some of this.

    Considerable uncertainty exists this evening with the convective
    threat over northern IL and northern IN as there may be an
    opportunity for regenerating rounds of convection, but at least
    for the near-term, some rainfall rates of 1 to 2 inches/hour will
    be possible with the main MCS, with some spotty 2 to 3+ inch
    amounts where any cell-training sets up.

    At least isolated areas of flash flooding will be possible through
    early this evening, with most of the threat confined to the more
    sensitive urban areas.

    Areas affected...Mid-South

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

    Valid 092157Z - 100330Z

    SUMMARY...Heavy showers and thunderstorms will continue this
    evening across portions of the Mid-South which will maintain a
    concern for additional pockets of flash flooding.

    DISCUSSION...Multiple clusters of relatively slow-moving showers
    and thunderstorms are seen impacting areas of central to northwest
    AL and also adjacent areas of northeast MS and middle TN.

    There are still areas of northern AL and parts of middle TN that
    have a substantial pool of boundary layer instability in place
    with MLCAPE values of around 2500 J/kg. Meanwhile, outflow
    boundaries are seen slowly advancing out from the existing areas
    of convection across the region.

    Over the next few hours, some outflow boundary collisions are
    expected which will drive a threat for expanding and regenerating
    clusters of convection over the region. Northern AL in particular
    appears to be at risk for seeing the best potential for this based
    on the latest GOES-E visible satellite imagery trends.

    Given the instability and high PW environment, with PWs of 2.0 to
    2.2 inches, the rainfall rate potential will be very high and
    capable of reaching 2 to 3 inches/hour. Slow cell-motions and
    potential for a few cell-mergers may allow for some spotty 3 to 4
    inch rainfall amounts going through this evening.

    Already there have been a couple of flash flood warnings that have
    come out across central and northwest AL, and some additional
    flash flooding concerns will exist going into the evening hours as
    the convective threat continues.

    Areas affected...Southwest U.S.

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

    Valid 092132Z - 100330Z

    SUMMARY...Scattered monsoonal showers and thunderstorms will tend
    to increase a bit further in coverage this evening. Isolated areas
    of flash flooding will be possible with locally heavy rainfall
    amounts of 1 to 2+ inches.

    DISCUSSION...The latest GOES-W visible satellite along with the
    GREMLIN product shows scattered areas of monsoonal showers and
    thunderstorms tending to further increase in coverage across areas
    of west-central NM into eastern AZ, with additional areas of focus
    noted up across some of the higher terrain of northwest AZ (near
    the Mogollon Rim), southeast NV, and southwest to south-central UT.

    Strong diurnal heating has led to SBCAPE values of as much as 1000
    to 2000 J/kg across sizable areas of central and southern AZ with
    nose of this extending up into northwest AZ and southwest UT. This
    corridor of greater instability will tend to be where some of the
    better convective focus will be over the next several hours in
    conjunction with orographic ascent and differential heating
    boundaries.

    Some convection over the Mogollon Rim is expected to advance
    westward off the terrain and out into this more unstable airmass
    that is pooling across the region, and some of the hires models
    suggest areas of central AZ may see some of the heaviest rainfall
    potential this evening. PW anomalies of 1 to 1.5 standard
    deviations above normal area noted across some of these areas with
    the fetch of better low to mid-level monsoonal moisture seen
    lifting north around the west side of the subtropical ridge over
    the Southwest.

    A highly isolated threat for flash flooding will exist into the
    evening hours from the thunderstorms which will have the potential
    to drop 1 inch of rain in as little as 30 minutes. Generally the
    totals will be 1 to 2 inches, with a couple of spotty 2+ inch
    amounts possible where the stronger storms focus. This may result
    in some arroyo flash flooding, and some of the regional burn scar
    locations and sensitive slot canyon locations may also potentially
    see impacts.

    Areas affected...Northern Illinois, far Southwest Michigan,
    Northern Indiana

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

    Valid 100231Z - 100700Z

    Summary...Showers and thunderstorms will redevelop this evening
    and then expand while training to the east-southeast. Rainfall
    rates of 2"/hr are likely, leading to 2-4+" of rainfall in the
    next few hours. Flash flooding is possible.

    Discussion...The regional radar mosaic this evening shows new
    thunderstorm development occurring across far NW Illinois. This
    activity is blossoming downstream of a modest shortwave rippling
    southeast within broadly cyclonic mid-level flow. This is
    producing subtle backing of the low-level wind field to
    isentropically ascend a stationary front analyzed by WPC draped
    west-to-east from Iowa into Ohio. 850mb winds have increased to
    20-30 kts as measured via regional VWPs, helping to transport
    impressive thermodynamics northward due to PWs approaching 2" and
    MLCAPE of 4000 J/kg pooling along the front. This is supporting
    hourly rainfall that has already exceeded 1" according to MRMS
    within this new activity.

    The ingredients are extremely supportive for heavy rainfall into
    tonight, but the CAMs are struggling to identify a focus for the
    footprint. As the shortwave drops steadily E/SE it will help to
    accelerate the inflow to produce even more intense thermodynamic
    advection northward. Locally enhanced ascent downstream of this
    shortwave should interact broadly with the front to create strong
    lift to regenerate convection. The mean 0-6km winds aligned
    parallel to the front indicate a high potential for
    backbuilding/training, with a southeast motion eventually
    developing as Corfidi vectors become aligned NW to SE to dive into
    the moisture in reponse to the veering LLJ. The last two runs of
    the HRRR have finally started to exhibit a reasonable QPF
    footprint, getting closer to the ARW/CONEST/RRFS which, while not
    perfect, appear to match better the conceptual model for tonight's
    evolution. This is concerning because several of the deterministic
    models suggest locally 5-6" of rain in the next 6 hours, and
    although confidence in these amounts by 08Z are limited, it does
    outline the higher-end potential for the area tonight.

    Parts of this area, generally along and north of I-90, have
    received 1-3" of rain already today, priming the soils ahead of
    the event tonight. 3-hr FFG is generally 2 inches across the
    region, but locally is as low as 1-1.5", for which the HREF and
    REFS both indicate a 20-30% chance of exceedance, and this is
    despite significant spread in the individual ensemble members.
    Still, this is enough support to suggest at least possible flash
    flooding the next few hours. However, as this event unfolds,
    additional MPDs will likely be needed to capture the evolving, and
    potentially increasing, flash flood risk overnight.

    Areas affected...Southern Arizona

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

    Valid 100330Z - 100800Z

    Summary...Clusters of thunderstorms will continue to progress
    westward across southern Arizona the next few hours. Hourly
    rainfall of 0.75 to 1.25 inches is possible, leading to isolated
    instances of flash flooding.

    Discussion...GOES-E IR satellite imagery this evening indicates
    that cloud tops are continuing to rapidly cool across southern
    Arizona. This cloud top cooling is associated with deepening
    thunderstorms moving steadily east to west across the region. At
    500mb, a shortwave trough is noted pushing west beneath the
    monsoon ridge, driving locally enhanced forcing for ascent. This
    lift, combined with surface convergence along boundary collisions
    and storm mergers from the ongoing convection is producing renewed
    thunderstorm activity thanks to impressive thermodynamics
    characterized by PWs as high as 1.6 inches and MLCAPE 1500-2500
    J/kg.

    Recent MRMS hourly rainfall has been above 1 inch in a few of the
    deeper convective cores, and despite limited signal in the HREF
    neighborhood probabilities (just 5-15%), the ingredients suggest
    these rates can continue for a few more hours. This is supported,
    at least, by recent UA WRF and sub-hourly HRRR guidance as well.
    As the shortwave pushes steadily to the west, it will impinge upon thermodynamics that may additionally improve due to persistent
    inflow off the Gulf of California. The overlap of the approaching
    shortwave with an even more moist column suggests rainfall rates
    of 0.75-1.25"/hr are likely. Limiting the total rain from this
    convection is the speed at which these storms should move, as
    propagation vectors are to the west at 20-25 kts, but any
    collisions or redevelopment immediately downstream of the
    mid-level wave could cause locally slower storm motions, or
    repeating events. Where this occurs, 1-2" of rain is possible in
    isolated locations.

    In general, the modest storm coverage combined with steady storm
    motions should preclude widespread flash flooding tonight.
    However, any of these intense rain rates that move over vulnerable
    terrain features like dry washes or burn scars, could lead to
    flash flooding impacts before activity wanes later tonight.

    Areas affected...Eastern Kansas, Northern Missouri, Far Southern
    Iowa

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

    Valid 100612Z - 101130Z

    Summary...Clusters of thunderstorms moving along a stationary
    front will bring 1-2"/hr rain rates through the overnight. Total
    rainfall of 2-3" with locally higher amounts may cause flash
    flooding.

    Discussion...The regional radar mosaic tonight shows clusters of
    thunderstorms expanding near the intersection of Nebraska, Kansas,
    and Missouri. This activity is building along a stationary front
    analyzed by WPC, into which a strengthening LLJ of 40-50 kts
    measured via regional VWPs is supplying impressive moisture and
    instability to sustain convection. Recent GPS measurements
    indicate PWs have climbed to 1.4 to 1.7 inches, collocated with
    pooled MUCAPE of 3000-4000 J/kg in the vicinity of the boundary. A
    modest shortwave tracking east from Nebraska has helped develop a
    wave of low pressure along this boundary, with these coupled
    features driving additionally enhanced ascent to support
    thunderstorms.

    The high-res CAMs are struggling with this activity tonight. There
    is very little support from any of the CAMs to suggest the ongoing
    activity will continue (as most do not have the current
    development at all). This creates lower than typical confidence in
    the forecast. However, with the LLJ progged to continue to surge
    to the NE at 40-50 kts until diurnal veering, convection should be
    sustained for many hours. Thunderstorms which develop along the
    convergent nose of this LLJ should generally organize into
    clusters on 25-30 kts of effective bulk shear, with cells
    generally tracking to the south as reflected by Corfidi vectors.
    However, with redevelopment upstream likely, and mean 0-6km winds
    pointing to the east, this suggests the potential for repeating
    rounds of convection, through which 1-2"/hr rain rates could cause
    2-3" of rain with locally higher amounts.

    This area has received impressive rainfall the past 7 days,
    reflected by AHPS showing 300-400% of normal rainfall. This has
    lowered the 1-hr (3-hr) FFG to just 1.5 (2.5) inches, indicating
    the area is vulnerable to these intense rain rates. Despite
    minimal model support, the ingredients suggest the environment is
    supportive of rainfall exceeding this FFG, leading to isolated
    instances of flash flooding into the early morning hours.

    Areas affected...Lower Great Lakes

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

    Valid 100651Z - 101230Z

    Summary...Thunderstorms with hourly rainfall as high as 2.5" will
    continue to spread across the lower Great Lakes into the early
    morning. Where any repeating/training can occur, total rainfall of
    3-5" is possible. This may result in additional flash flooding.

    Discussion...The GOES-E IR imagery early this morning shows an
    impressive MCS with a large area of -50C or colder cloud tops
    moving over northeast Illinois and into Indiana/Michigan. Embedded
    even colder cloud tops are indicative of still deepening
    convection, which is additionally reflected by the regional radar
    mosaic featuring many clusters of thunderstorms moving across the
    area.

    This activity is building within an area of strong overlapping
    deep layer ascent caused via a mid-level shortwave moving atop a
    stationary front and isentropic upglide on a 30-40kt 850mb LLJ.
    This LLJ is gradually strengthening as noted via regional VWPs,
    and is transporting robust thermodynamics (PWs above 2" and MUCAPE
    of 3000-4000 J/kg) northeastward. The deep layer lift impinging
    into these thermodynamics will continue to fuel convective
    development, and recent MRMS hourly rainfall has already exceeded
    2 inches in the strongest cores.

    There is high confidence that thunderstorms will continue into the
    morning, although the footprint of heaviest rainfall continues to
    be somewhat uncertain. The high-res CAMs are all in agreement that
    stripes of heavy rainfall will occur both just north of the front
    where an MCV tracking across Lake Michigan will locally accelerate
    inflow to enhance the isentropic upglide, as well from northeast
    Illinois into northwest Indiana where the most impressive moisture
    flux occurs on the LLJ convergence. With rainfall rates climbing
    above 2"/hr within the deeper convection, any repeating cells or
    training of heavy rain could create 3-5" of rain with locally
    higher amounts (5-10% chance for more than 5 inches according to
    both HREF and REFS).

    There is a slightly higher risk of the heaviest rain occurring
    across IL/IN than in lower MI due to a higher training potential,
    but much of this region is already vulnerable from recent heavy
    rainfall and compromised FFG. While there continues to be some
    uncertainty as to whether the additional heavy rain can
    efficiently overlap recent rain footprints (and accompanying
    reduced FFG) anywhere these intense rain rates can train or
    repeat, a flash flood risk will exist.

    Areas affected...Western PA...Much of Western & Northern
    WV...Southern Half of OH...

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

    Valid 101535Z - 102000Z

    SUMMARY...Efficient but fast moving convection into western slopes
    of Appalachians possible to exceed hourly FFG (1-1.5"/hr), while
    flanking line likely to see redevelopment that may repeat across
    areas of slightly higher FFG, but with localized totals of 3-4"
    possible, flash flooding becomes possible here as well.

    DISCUSSION...Regional RADAR and GOES-E Visible imagery shows a
    mature but compact MCS across NE PA nearing SW NY with a broad
    northwesterly flow around the SW quadrant is is providing strong
    moisture convergence through the Upper Ohio River Valley.
    Enhanced moisture has streamed ahead of the wave through the
    Valley bringing upper 60s to low 70s Tds even into the higher
    western slopes/ridges and with some early morning sun, temps are
    nearing low 80s and supporting SBCAPEs of 2000-2500+ J/kg. The
    deep layer moisture pooled through the valley is also above normal
    with total through depth around 1.75" though with most in the
    lowest levels where convergence is maximized; loading is
    supporting efficient rainfall production. Upstream observations
    note .75-1.25" totals in 30 to 60 minutes and with continued
    cooling trends/overshooting tops with broadening reflectivity,
    expect similar 1-1.5" in the 30-60 minute time period across W PA
    and western WV over the next hour or so. FFG values in the area
    are 1-1.5" with 3hr FFG less than 2", suggesting the rates in
    steep terrain may result in scattered incidents of flash flooding.

    Upstream across SW, central and southern Ohio; there is a strong
    cluster with elongated orientation to the mean flow from Licking
    to Logan county, currently... this will start to intersect with
    the south-end convection of the main convergence line over
    Licking/Perry county, which could induce localized issues, though
    FFG is naturally slightly higher across the area closer to
    2"+/3hrs... which is about where observations plus hourly totals
    will near but maybe not exceed initially. However, VWP through
    the region shows highly confluent flow through depth along the
    upwind flanking end; combine this with the area starting to move
    into a broadening 500-1000mb thickness trough, supports
    propagation vectors to reduce to less than 5kts with some
    convergence along the upwind edge in SW OH. So with increasingly
    unstable air upstream across IND and N KY with southwesterly
    inflow orthogonal to the training line (near surface) but veering
    confluent inflow aloft is highly suggestive of favorable
    backbuilding and then NW to SSE (note turning) training
    convection. Total PWats are slightly higher and instability will
    further build into the 3000 J/kg increasing vertical strength/low
    level moisture flux convergence into the updrafts with rates
    increasing to near/locally above 2"/hr. Ideal training will
    result in 3-4" totals which would even exceed 3 & 6 hr FFG.

    However, there is high uncertainty within the evolution of this
    cluster and then new additional development later this morning
    into the afternoon. Some suggest the storms would not even exist
    now; and therefore would further delay development (due to
    capping) and new cells would develop further north and east
    (HRRR/FV3/RRFS). Others suggest strong inflow orthogonal to the
    outflow boundary and stronger cold pools will propagate the line
    further southwest perhaps into SE IND/N KY (ARW2/NamNest). At
    this time, the most conservative, middle ground solution is the
    12z ARW which also has flaws compared to current RADAR/Satellite
    trends but also appears more reasonable than the most aggressive
    solutions though the overall line appears to be weakening relative
    to the ARW solutions too.

    Bottom line, there is solid potential but confidence is low for
    the upstream area for prolonged training and may need to update
    the MPD as trends unfold and confidence increases; however, the
    rainfall efficiency/short-term rates have much higher confidence
    for localized flash flooding issues across the western slopes of
    the Appalachians in the next few hours.
