EXCESSIVE RAINFALL DISCUSSION
NWS WEATHER PREDICTION CENTER COLLEGE PARK MD
420 PM EDT TUE JUN 3 2025
DAY 1
VALID 16Z TUE JUN 03 2025 - 12Z WED JUN 04 2025
...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF EXCESSIVE RAINFALL FOR PARTS OF THE
CENTRAL UNITED STATES, SOUTH FLORIDA AND THE FLORIDA KEYS, AND
SOUTHWEST...
..16Z UPDATE
THE MAIN CHANGE TO THE PREVIOUS OUTLOOK WAS TO INTRODUCE A SLIGHT
RISK ACROSS PARTS OF THE SOUTHWEST. MOISTURE LEVELS ARE HIGH FOR
THIS TIME OF YEAR, WITH THE VEF/LAS VEGAS 12Z SOUNDING SETTING A
DAILY RECORD FOR PW AT 1.07", WHICH IS CLOSE TO THE 90TH PERCENTILE
EVEN DURING THE PEAK OF THE MONSOON SEASON/EARLY AUGUST. THE SPC
MESOANALYSIS SHOWS SOME LOW END BULK SHEAR AROUND 30KT IN NORTHWEST
ARIZONA, PERHAPS ALLOWING FOR CONVECTION TO BE MORE SUSTAINED AND
ORGANIZED. INSTABILITY IS ALSO QUITE HIGH FOR THIS TIME OF YEAR,
WITH THE EXTREME FORECAST INDEX MAXED OUT FOR CAPE OVER THE NEXT
COUPLE OF DAYS. THESE INGREDIENTS ADDED UP TO INTRODUCING A SLIGHT
RISK FOR FAR EASTERN CALIFORNIA/FAR SOUTHERN NEVADA AND INTO
NORTHERN ARIZONA. ALSO, EXPANDED THE MARGINAL RISK WEST A BIT IN
CALIFORNIA TO AT LEAST COVER THE SAN BERNADINO MOUNTAINS WHERE
CONVECTION CAN ANCHOR.
ELSEWHERE, THE SLIGHT RISK FOR PARTS OF THE CENTRAL U.S. STILL
LOOKS IN GOOD SHAPE, WITH A LOCALLY HIGHER END RISK FROM OKLAHOMA
INTO CENTRAL MISSOURI. EXPANDED THE SOUTHERN END OF THE SLIGHT A
BIT PER NEWER GUIDANCE. ONLY MINOR CHANGES WERE MADE TO THE RISK
AREAS IN THE SOUTHERN HALF OF FLORIDA AS WELL.
TATE
..PREVIOUS DISCUSSION
..TEXAS TO THE GREAT LAKES
AN ACTIVE DAY OF CONVECTION IS EXPECTED TODAY AS A COLD FRONT SAGS
ACROSS THE HEARTLAND, PROVIDING THE FOCUS FOR WIDESPREAD SHOWERS
AND THUNDERSTORMS. THIS FRONT WILL BE PUSHED SOUTHEAST IN RESPONSE
TO AN AMPLIFYING NORTHERN STREAM TROUGH WHICH WILL DIG ACROSS THE
CONUS AS FAR SOUTH AS TEXAS. THIS WILL DRIVE HEIGHT FALLS ACROSS
THE REGION, WITH EMBEDDED SHORTWAVE IMPULSES RACING NORTHEAST, AND
A POLEWARD ARCING JET STREAK DOWNSTREAM OF THE PRIMARY TROUGH AXIS
COMBINING TO PROVIDE ADDITIONAL ASCENT. THIS DEEP LAYER LIFT WILL
WORK INTO ROBUST THERMODYNAMICS CHARACTERIZED BY AN OVERLAP OF
1.8-2.0" PWS (ABOVE THE 99TH PERCENTILE PER NAEFS) AND A RIBBON OF
MUCAPE EXCEEDING 2000 J/KG (THROUGH NORTHERN MO), SURGING NORTHWARD
ON 30-50 KTS OF 850MB FLOW EMERGING ON RETURN FLOW FROM THE GULF.
THE CAMS HAVE CONTINUED TO BE IN EXCELLENT AGREEMENT IN THE COVERAGE
OF CONVECTION, WHILE ALSO RECENTLY COMING INTO BETTER AGREEMENT ON
TEMPORAL AND SPATIAL DIFFERENCES (OWING TO TIMING OF THE FRONT).
CAMS INDICATE WIDESPREAD 1"/HR RAIN RATES FROM THE NORTHERN TX
HILL COUNTRY ALL THE WAY TO THE EASTERN MISSOURI VALLEY
(40-KM NEIGHBORHOOD 1"/1-HR PROBABILITIES EXCEEDING 50% ACROSS
THIS ENTIRE AREA), AND THESE PROBABILITIES INCREASE FROM NORTH TO
SOUTH OVERTIME TODAY (AS OVERNIGHT CONVECTION LIKELY REMAINS ACTIVE
IN THE MORNING, THEN GROWS UPSCALE DURING THE DAY). ALTHOUGH MEAN
0-6KM WINDS OF 20-30 KTS INDICATE PROGRESSIVE STORM MOTIONS, THIS
FLOW ALIGNED TO THE FRONT AND COMBINED WITH CORFIDI VECTORS THAT
COLLAPSE AND VEER TO THE NE INDICATE A HIGH POTENTIAL FOR
REDEVELOPMENT TO THE SW INTO THE MORE INTENSE THERMODYNAMICS AND
TRAINING OF CELLS TO THE NORTHEAST. WHERE THIS OCCURS, LOCALIZED
RAINFALL TOTALS EXCEEDING 3" ARE LIKELY (50-80% 3"/24-HR
NEIGHBORHOOD EXCEEDANCE PROBS ACROSS THE ENTIRE SLIGHT RISK AREA,
PER 00Z HREF). THE BEST SPATIAL AGREEMENT FOR 2"+ TOTALS (PER 00Z
HREF EAS 2"/24-HR EXCEEDANCE PROBS) ARE LOCATED WITHIN THE CORE OF
THE CENTRAL AND NORTHERN PORTIONS OF THE SLIGHT RISK, FROM CENTRAL
OK THROUGH SOUTHEAST KS AND CENTRAL MO (WHERE 5" NEIGHBORHOOD
EXCEEDANCE PROBABILITIES ARE ALSO GREATEST, AS HIGH AS 30-50%). THE
INHERITED SLGT RISK WAS TAILORED TO THIS NEW GUIDANCE, BUT VERY
LITTLE CHANGE WAS NECESSARY. THE SLIGHT RISK OVER TX IS CONSIDERED
THE LOWEST CONFIDENCE, AS SPATIAL AGREEMENT (PER HREF EAS PROBS) IS
LOWEST HERE (THOUGH CONVECTION THAT DOES MANAGE TO DEVELOP ALONG
THE TAIL OF THIS FRONT WELL INTO THE NIGHT WILL LIKELY FEATURE
SLOW STORM MOTIONS AND BACKBUILDING, WITH 5" NEIGHBORHOOD
EXCEEDANCE PROBABILITIES STILL AS HIGH AS 20-30%).
ALTHOUGH HEAVY RAINFALL IS ALSO LIKELY IN CONVECTION THAT DEVELOPS
NORTHEAST INTO THE UPPER MIDWEST AND GREAT LAKES, STORMS SHOULD BE
MORE PROGRESSIVE AND THE CORFIDI VECTORS SUGGEST LESS OPPORTUNITY
FOR TRAINING, SO ONLY A MRGL RISK IS MAINTAINED NORTH OF IA.
..SOUTH FLORIDA AND THE FLORIDA KEYS
A SHORTWAVE TROUGH OVER THE GULF HAS AMPLIFIED ENOUGH OVERNIGHT TO
BECOME A WEAK CLOSED LOW EARLY THIS MORNING, AND IS EXPECTED TO
SPIN NEARLY IN PLACE AS IT GETS SUPPRESSED BENEATH A BERMUDA- TYPE
RIDGE TO ITS NORTHEAST. THIS WILL MAINTAIN MODEST SYNOPTIC ASCENT
ACROSS FLORIDA, BUT SOME ENHANCEMENT IS LIKELY AS A JET STREAK
OVER THE ATLANTIC TAILS BACK TO THE SW, PLACING THE FAVORABLY
DIFFLUENT RRQ OVERTOP THE PENINSULA. THIS FORCING WILL COMBINE
WITH CONTINUED LOW-LEVEL CONVERGENCE ALONG A DECAYED FRONT/SURFACE
TROUGH, RESULTING IN ANOTHER DAY OF WIDESPREAD SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS. PWS IN PLACE WILL AGAIN BE GREATER THAN 2 INCHES,
ABOVE THE 90TH PERCENTILE ACCORDING TO NAEFS, COMBINING WITH 1000
J/KG OF CAPE TO PRODUCE ROBUST THERMODYNAMICS TO SUPPORT RAINFALL
RATES OF 2"/HR AT TIMES. THERE CONTINUES TO BE SOME UNCERTAINTY IN
THE COVERAGE OF CONVECTION AMONG THE VARIOUS CAMS, BUT BETTER
AGREEMENT IN THE PLACEMENT OF 3"+ AMOUNT (PER HREF EAS PROBS) ALONG
THE SOUTHWEST COAST OF FL HAS NECESSITATED AN EXPANSION OF THE SLGT
TO JUST SOUTH OF TAMPA BAY. WHILE FFG EXCEEDANCE PROBS ARE HIGHEST
ACROSS THIS AREA, HAVE ALSO MAINTAINED THE SLGT FOR THE REMAINDER
OF SOUTH FL (INCLUDING ALL OF THE FL KEYS AND THE MIAMI METRO) AS
LOCALIZED 5" TOTALS REMAIN POSSIBLE (WITH HREF 40-KM NEIGHBORHOOD
3"/24-HR EXCEEDANCE PROBS OF 30-50% IN VERY CLOSE PROXIMITY).
ALTHOUGH NOT INCLUDED IN A RISK AREA AT THIS TIME, SOME OF THE
GUIDANCE HAS CONTINUED TO BE A BIT MORE AGGRESSIVE WITH A WAVE OF
LOW PRESSURE DEVELOPING ALONG AN INVERTED TROUGH ALIGNED TO THE
EAST COAST OF FLORIDA. IF THIS LOW WERE TO DEVELOP A BIT MORE
RAPIDLY OR TRACK FARTHER WEST, SOME HEAVY RAIN COULD MOVE ONSHORE
THE NORTHEAST FLORIDA COAST BEFORE 12Z WEDNESDAY.
..FOUR CORNERS
A MRGL RISK WAS FURTHER EXPANDED WESTWARD WITH THIS CYCLE, NOW
ENCOMPASSING SOUTHEASTERN PORTIONS OF CA THROUGH NV/UT/AZ AND THE
FOUR CORNERS REGION INTO THE THE CENTRAL PLAINS. THE GUIDANCE HAS
CONTINUES TO BE MORE AGGRESSIVE WITH SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS
BLOSSOMING DURING THE AFTERNOON/EVENING AS FORCING INTENSIFIES
FROM BROAD DIVERGENCE DOWNSTREAM OF A CLOSED LOW FILLING AND MOVING
INTO THE DESERT SOUTHWEST, PRODUCING ASCENT ATOP A WAVERING
FRONTAL BOUNDARY POSITIONED OVER THE REGION. THIS LIFT WILL IMPINGE
INTO FAVORABLE THERMODYNAMICS WITH PWS REACHING ABOVE 0.75 INCHES
INTO A BUBBLE OF MUCAPE OF 750-1000 J/KG. MEAN STORM MOTIONS WILL
BE WEAK, GENERALLY AROUND 5 KTS, SO WITH RAINFALL RATES WHICH HAVE
A 10-40% CHANCE OF EXCEEDING 1"/HR (PER 00Z HREF 40-KM NEIGHBORHOOD
1"/1-HR EXCEEDANCE PROBS), THESE SLOW MOTIONS COULD RESULT IN
LOCALLY AS MUCH AS 1" OF RAINFALL IN A SHORT PERIOD OF TIME. IF
THIS OCCURS OVER SENSITIVE SOILS, URBAN AREAS, OR TERRAIN FEATURES,
INSTANCES OF FLASH FLOODING COULD RESULT.
CHURCHILL/WEISS
DAY 2
VALID 12Z WED JUN 04 2025 - 12Z THU JUN 05 2025
...THERE IS A MARGINAL RISK OF EXCESSIVE RAINFALL FOR PORTIONS OF
THE MIDWEST, MIDDLE MISSISSIPPI VALLEY, SOUTHERN PLAINS, THE FOUR
CORNERS/DESERT SOUTHWEST, AND THE SOUTHEAST...
..2030Z UPDATE
CHANGES TO THE DAY 2 ERO FOR THIS CYCLE WERE RELATIVELY MINOR.
EXPANDED THE FOUR CORNERS MARGINAL RISK ON THE WESTERN SIDE TO
ENCOMPASS PARTS OF EASTERN CALIFORNIA AND SOUTHERN NEVADA. HREF
PROBABILITIES FOR EXCEEDING 3 AND 6 HOUR FFG GUIDANCE ARE SCATTERED
THROUGH MUCH OF THE SOUTHWEST ONCE AGAIN WEDNESDAY. HOWEVER, THE
HREF MEAN ETC. SHOWS LOWER INSTABILITY COMPARED TO TODAY (TUESDAY)
AND SUPPORT ALOFT IS NOT QUITE AS STRONG, SO HELD OFF FROM A SLIGHT
RISK, BUT EXPECT POSSIBLY ISOLATED TO SCATTERED FLASH FLOODING, BUT
POSSIBLY LESS FOCUSED. ANOTHER AREA TO WATCH FOR A POTENTIAL
SLIGHT IS THE SOUTHERN HIGH PLAINS, FOR NOCTURNAL CONVECTION THAT
MAY PRODUCE HEAVY RAIN RATES BEFORE 12Z THURSDAY, BUT LOOKS TO RAMP
UP SPECIFICALLY THURSDAY/DAY 3 PERIOD. MEANWHILE, EXPANDED THE
MARGINAL RISK IN SOUTH-CENTRAL TEXAS FOR SOME WEDNESDAY MORNING
ONGOING CONVECTION. THE SOUTHEAST TO FLORIDA MARGINAL RISK REMAINS
SIMILAR TO THE PREVIOUS OUTLOOK.
TATE
..PREVIOUS DISCUSSION
..FOUR CORNERS INTO CENTRAL/SOUTHERN HIGH PLAINS
ANOTHER ACTIVE DAY OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS EXPECTED AS THE
UPPER LOW OVER NORTHERN BAJA FILLS AND EJECTS NORTHEAST ATOP THE
FOUR CORNERS. THE ACCOMPANYING ASCENT WILL MOVE INTO CONTINUED
ANOMALOUS PWS WHICH WILL EXCEED THE 99TH PERCENTILE (PER NAEFS).
THIS WILL FUEL WIDESPREAD CONVECTION CAPABLE OF LOCALIZED RAINFALL
RATES OF 0.5"/HR (OR AT TIMES HIGHER). STORMS WILL LIKELY MOVE
SLOWLY BENEATH THE UPPER TROUGH, LEADING TO A LONGER DURATION OF
HEAVY RAIN. ALTHOUGH TOTAL RAINFALL WILL BE MODEST IN MOST AREAS
(AS REFLECTED BY RELATIVELY LOW 24-HR PROBABILITY FROM ECENS/GEFS
FOR 1" EXCEEDANCE), WHERE THE HEAVY RAIN IMPACTS SENSITIVE TERRAIN
FEATURES OR URBAN AREAS INSTANCES OF FLASH FLOODING COULD RESULT.
PROBABILITIES HAVE ALSO INCREASED A BIT (PARTICULARLY FROM THE NEW
00Z ECENS SUITE) FURTHER EAST INTO THE CENTRAL/SOUTHERN HIGH
PLAINS AND THE MRGL RISK HAS BEEN EXPANDED ACCORDINGLY. SHOULD
MODELS COME INTO BETTER AGREEMENT, ADDITIONAL EXPANSION MAY BE
NEEDED FURTHER SOUTH INTO WEST TX (AND WITH ADDITIONAL CAM GUIDANCE
AND AGREEMENT, AN UPGRADE TO SLGT MAY ALSO BE NEEDED).
..SOUTHERN PLAINS AND MID-MISSISSIPPI VALLEY TO GREAT LAKES
THE COLD FRONT FROM D1 WILL CONTINUE ITS TREK EASTWARD ON
WEDNESDAY, BUT WILL START TO SLOW AND BECOME ALIGNED MORE WEST TO
EAST AS ITS TAIL GETS PULLED NORTHWARD BY AN APPROACHING SHORTWAVE
OVER THE FOUR CORNERS REGION. SHORTWAVES EMBEDDED WITHIN THE FLOW
WILL CONTINUE TO RACE NORTHEAST, ESPECIALLY FROM MISSOURI TO
MICHIGAN, WHICH IS WHERE THE GREATEST CONCENTRATION OF
THUNDERSTORMS IS EXPECTED ON D2 (THOUGH SOME MODELS ARE ALSO
INDICATED POTENTIAL FOR ISOLATED CONVECTIVE DEVELOPMENT FARTHER
SOUTHWEST INTO PORTIONS OF THE SOUTHERN PLAINS). STORM MOTIONS
ALONG THE FRONT ARE LIKELY TO BE PROGRESSIVE, LIFTING OFF TO THE
NORTHEAST ON 0-6KM MEAN WINDS OF 20-30 KTS, BUT WEAKER CORFIDI
VECTORS ALIGNED BOTH TO THIS MEAN WIND AND THE FRONT SUGGESTS A
POTENTIAL FOR TRAINING. AS RAINFALL RATES PEAK ABOVE 1"/HR WITHIN
FAVORABLE THERMODYNAMICS, THIS COULD RESULT IN STRIPES OF HEAVY
RAINFALL WITH ENSEMBLES INDICATING 10-40% CHANCE OF EXCEEDING 1"
AND UP TO 10% PROBABILITIES FOR EXCEEDING 2" (WITH THE NEW ECENS
BEING THE MOST AGGRESSIVE). THE INHERITED MRGL RISK WAS MAINTAINED
(AND EXPANDED A BIT SOUTHWEST) WITH THIS UPDATE.
..SOUTHEAST
GUIDANCE CONTINUES TO BE SOMEWHAT AGGRESSIVE WITH
A WAVE OF LOW PRESSURE POTENTIALLY DEVELOPING ALONG AN INVERTED
TROUGH SHIFTING NORTHEAST ALONG THE FL/GA/SC COASTS. WHILE NHC
CONTINUES TO INDICATE A 10% PROBABILITY OF TROPICAL OR SUB-TROPICAL
DEVELOPMENT WITH THIS FEATURE, REGARDLESS OF WHETHER A CIRCULATION
FORMS OR NOT, THERE CONTINUES TO BE INCREASING CONFIDENCE THAT
HEAVY RAIN WILL SPREAD ACROSS THE FL PENINSULA AND THEN ROTATE
ONSHORE THE GA/SC COASTS ON WEDNESDAY. THERE ALSO HAS BEEN A CLEAR
MODEL TREND OF POTENTIAL INCREASED CONVECTIVE DEVELOPMENT FARTHER
INLAND TO THE FL PANHANDLE AND INTO SOUTHEAST AL AND SOUTHWEST GA
(LIKELY DUE TO A STRONGER CLOSED LOW AND THE ASSOCIATED DYNAMICS),
SO THE MRGL WAS EXPANDED TO REFLECT THIS. WITH PWS PROGGED TO
EXCEED 2", ABOVE THE 90TH PERCENTILE, SUPPORTED BY WARM CLOUD
DEPTHS THAT MAY EXCEED 15,000 FT, EFFICIENT RAINFALL RATES OF
1-2"/HR WILL BE LIKELY IN ANY SHOWERS/THUNDERSTORMS. IT CERTAINLY
REMAINS POSSIBLE THAT THE HEAVIEST RAINFALL IN ASSOCIATION WITH THE
POTENTIAL SURFACE LOW WILL REMAIN JUST OFFSHORE, BUT IMPRESSIVE
MOISTURE CONVERGENCE FROM JACKSONVILLE, FL TO CHARLESTON, SC SHOULD
SUPPORT WAVES OF HEAVY RAINFALL REGARDLESS OF DEVELOPMENT OF THIS
SYSTEM. ADDITIONALLY, PLENTIFUL TROPICAL MOISTURE ACROSS THE REST
OF THE FL PENINSULA AND A SHORTWAVE CONTINUING TO PIVOT ACROSS THE
GULF COULD ENHANCE RAINFALL OVER MUCH OF FLORIDA WEDNESDAY, AND THE
MRGL WAS MAINTAINED ACCORDINGLY (WITH THE EXCEPTION OF THE FL
KEYS, WHICH WERE REMOVED DUE TO MODEL CONSENSUS THAT CONVECTION
WILL BE PULLING AWAY NORTHWARD BY 12Z WEDS).
CHURCHILL/WEISS
DAY 3
VALID 12Z THU JUN 05 2025 - 12Z FRI JUN 06 2025
...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF EXCESSIVE RAINFALL FOR PORTIONS OF
THE SOUTH-CENTRAL PLAINS...
...CENTRAL GREAT BASIN TO CENTRAL/SOUTHERN PLAINS INTO THE OHIO VALLEY...
THURSDAY/DAY 3 SHOULD SEE A SIMILAR PATTERN AS WEDNESDAY/DAY 2,
WITH A BROAD POSITIVELY TILTED TROUGH AXIS ACROSS THE WEST AND
SHORTWAVES MOVING THROUGH. PACIFIC MOISTURE (CONTINUING TO BE OVER
THE 90TH PERCENTILE FOR PWS) WILL STREAM NORTHEASTWARD JUST AHEAD
OF THE TROUGH TO PRODUCE SCATTERED CONVECTION ACROSS THE CENTRAL
GREAT BASIN TOWARD THE CENTRAL ROCKIES, SO EXPANDED THE MARGINAL
RISK INTO THESE AREAS WITH THE AXIS JUST A BIT NORTH OF THE
PREVIOUS COUPLE OF DAYS.
FARTHER EAST, AN INITIAL SHORTWAVE WILL FORCE CONVECTION IN THE
SOUTHERN HIGH PLAINS WEDNESDAY NIGHT INTO THURSDAY MORNING. THEN A
RENEWED LOW LEVEL JET WILL PUSH MOISTURE AND INSTABILITY A BIT
FARTHER NORTH INTO OKLAHOMA/KANSAS THURSDAY NIGHT AND LIKELY
SUSTAIN CONVECTION THAT ORIGINATES IN COLORADO, LEADING TO HEAVY
RAIN RATES. FOR THIS ISSUANCE, COMBINED BOTH THESE AREAS INTO THE
SLIGHT RISK. THERE CONTINUES TO BE SOME MODEL SPREAD IN HEAVY
RAINFALL PLACEMENT AND WITH WHICH MCS MAY LEAD TO THE HEAVIER
TOTALS, WITH MOST RECENT ECENS PROBABILITIES OF EXCEEDING 1" AND 2"
FOCUSED IN OKLAHOMA WHEREAS GEFS PROBABILITIES ARE CENTERED IN
KANSAS. SO MORE REFINEMENTS MAY BE NECESSARY IN FUTURE CYCLES.
EXPANDED THE MARGINAL FARTHER SOUTH IN WEST TEXAS FOR CONVECTION
WITH HEAVY RAIN RATES JUST EAST OF THE DRYLINE.
TO THE EAST, MOISTURE POOLING ALONG A MEANDERING FRONT MAY LEAD TO
LOCALLY HEAVY RAIN ACROSS THE MID-MISSISSIPPI VALLEY AND OHIO
VALLEY TOWARD THE LOWER GREAT LAKES REGION. A MARGINAL RISK REMAINS
IN PLACE FOR THESE AREAS. CONSIDERED A MARGINAL RISK STRETCHING
INTO NORTHERN NEW ENGLAND NEAR/AHEAD OF THE FRONT WHERE ABOVE
NORMAL MOISTURE AND INSTABILITY ARE LIKELY, BUT MODEL QPFS WERE NOT
VERY HEAVY. THERE IS LIKELY A NONZERO PROBABILITY THOUGH SO WILL
CONTINUE TO MONITOR.
..SOUTHEAST/CAROLINA COAST
MODEL GUIDANCE INDICATES A LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM POTENTIALLY JUST
ONSHORE IN THE CAROLINAS NEAR THE ATLANTIC COAST ON THURSDAY. THIS
SYSTEM IS MOST LIKELY TO BE FRONTAL BUT WITH A LOW END CHANCE OF
BECOMING TROPICAL OR SUBTROPICAL PER NHC. HEAVIEST RAINFALL TOTALS
ARE FORECAST TO STAY OFFSHORE. HOWEVER, WRAPAROUND MOISTURE WILL
STREAM INTO COASTAL AREAS WITH PWS ABOVE THE 90TH IF NOT 95TH
PERCENTILE. INSTABILITY THOUGH GENERALLY LOOKS TO REMAIN BELOW 1000
J/KM WEST OF THE LOW, WHICH MAY LIMIT RAIN RATES SOMEWHAT. PER
COORDINATION WITH THE MOREHEAD CITY (MHX) WFO, ANTECEDENT
CONDITIONS ARE WETTER THAN NORMAL ALONG COASTAL AREAS DUE TO RECENT
RAIN. SO WILL CONTINUE TO MONITOR THIS AREA FOR A SLIGHT RISK
EVENTUALLY, BUT WILL AWAIT BETTER MODEL CONVERGENCE AND SEE IF
INSTABILITY INCREASES. EXPANDED THE PREEXISTING MARGINAL WEST A BIT
PER SOME 12Z MODELS THAT WERE FARTHER INLAND.
