MESOSCALE PRECIPITATION DISCUSSION 1007
NWS WEATHER PREDICTION CENTER COLLEGE PARK MD
902 AM EDT TUE AUG 11 2026
AREAS AFFECTED...CENTRAL IN...SOUTHERN OH...CENTRAL WV...NORTHEAST
KY
CONCERNING...HEAVY RAINFALL...FLASH FLOODING LIKELY
VALID 111301Z - 111900Z
SUMMARY...MULTIPLE THUNDERSTORM COMPLEXES ARE EXPECTED TO TRACK
SOUTHEAST FROM INDIANA TO WEST VIRGINIA THROUGH THE EARLY
AFTERNOON HOURS. CONVECTIVE TRAINING ACROSS PORTIONS OF THIS
REGION COULD PRODUCE ADDITIONAL 2-3 INCH RAINFALL TOTALS WITH
LOCALLY HIGHER AMOUNTS, AND GIVEN HIGHLY SATURATED GROUNDS FROM
EARLIER RAINFALL, INSTANCES OF FLASH FLOODING ARE LIKELY.
DISCUSSION...REGIONAL DOPPLER RADARS, IN CONJUNCTION WITH INFRARED
SATELLITE IMAGERY, INDICATE THREE RELATIVELY DISTINCT CONVECTIVE
COMPLEXES ACROSS THE OUTLOOK AREA THIS MORNING, EACH OF WHICH IS
ASSOCIATED WITH A LOW-MID LEVEL VORTMAX EMBEDDED IN ENHANCED WNW
FLOW. THE STRONGEST COMPLEX IS CURRENTLY OVER EAST-CENTRAL INDIANA
INTO WESTERN OHIO, AND PERSISTENT BACK-BUILDING CONVECTION HAS
BEEN ONGOING OVER NORTH-CENTRAL INDIANA FOR THE PAST COUPLE OF
HOURS GIVEN WEAK CORFIDI VECTORS ALIGNED WITH THE SURFACE-6KM
FLOW. RAINFALL RATES ON THE ORDER OF 2+ INCHES PER HOUR HAVE BEEN
NOTED WITH THE MOST PERSISTENT CONVECTION, AND REGIONAL
OBSERVATIONS INDICATE 2-4 INCH RAINFALL TOTALS SINCE MIDNIGHT
ACROSS PORTIONS OF SOUTHEAST OHIO AND ALSO WEST OF FORT WAYNE,
INDIANA.
THE LATEST CAM GUIDANCE SUITE CONTINUES TO STRUGGLE WITH AN
ACCURATE DEPICTION OF THE ONGOING CONVECTION AND ITS EXPECTED
EVOLUTION OVER THE NEXT SEVERAL HOURS, WITH THE HRRR AND RRFS TOO
LIGHT COMPARED TO CURRENT RADAR IMAGERY, AND ALSO SOME DIFFERENCES
WITH LATITUDINAL PLACEMENT OF THE COMPLEXES. THE OVERALL
THERMODYNAMIC ENVIRONMENT REMAINS FAVORABLE FOR A CONTINUATION OF
THESE STORMS WITH HIGH RAINFALL RATES. A DEEP RESERVOIR OF
2000-3000 MIXED LAYER CAPE EXISTS JUST TO THE SOUTH OF THESE
COMPLEXES, AND STRONG THETA-E ADVECTION FROM THE WSW WILL CONTINUE
TO FUEL THE CONVECTION, AND PWS ON THE ORDER OF 1.75 TO 2 INCHES.
SOME INSTANCES OF FLASH FLOODING ARE LIKELY, ESPECIALLY ACROSS
AREAS THAT HAVE RECEIVED EXCESSIVE RAINFALL OVER THE PAST 24 HOURS.
