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

    Valid 110500Z - 111100Z

    SUMMARY...Post T.C. Rachel

    DISCUSSION...Inner core of Post T.C. Rachel is continuing to
    weaken from small embedded convective elements into a broader
    shield of moderate precipitation along the downshear northern edge
    coming into far SW California. However, some vorticity stretching
    and localized convergent surface to boundary layer convergence
    response is starting in earnest along the eastern slopes of the
    Peninsular Range as a surface low spreads/stretches through in the
    Lower Colorado River Valley. Conditionally unstable air supported
    by the warm shallow seas of the Gulf of California are drawn
    northward as MLCAPEs increase as weak CAA aloft spreads across the
    Lower Colorado as well; raising from 500 J/kg toward 750-1000 J/kg
    by 08z across SW AZ. Mid-level vorticity center is also rounding
    the eastern side of the deeper cyclone and dPVA is helping to
    sharpen an deformation zone/isentropic boundary from the center of
    Rachel through the Inland Empire toward southern Nevada. Deep
    layer convergence from the Southeast will further help to expand
    the convective cluster currently over northern Baja California
    through the Inland Empire. Total moisture has also increased
    toward 1.75" though CIRA LVT in the 850-700mb layer ranges from
    150-200 kg/m/s starting to enter far SE CA/SW AZ. As such rates
    of 1-1.5"/hr are becoming increasingly possible especially given
    any aid from upslope along the eastern portions of the Peninsular
    Ranges. As such localized totals of 1.5-2.5" is becoming probable
    though an isolated 3" total is possible and likely to induce
    localized flash flooding given 3-6hr FFG values are generally
    2-2.25".

    Further downstream, as height-falls continue from SW to NE and the
    deformation zone/FGEN surface begins to sharpen through S NV;
    scattered narrow thunderstorms will develop but further proximity
    from the low, cell motions will be more south to north or SSE to
    NNW across E Riverside/San Bernadino and into W AZ. Stronger
    instability and increasing wind speeds upstream will help foster
    potential for back-building and therefore short periods of
    repeating/training may allow for some localized .5-1" totals
    eventually into S NV. This may even intersect urban Las
    Vegas/Henderson and which would be particularly concerning but
    overall confidence in a specific cell or two to cross the urban
    center is still hard to lock down given widely scattered to
    scattered expected coverage over the next 4-6hrs or so.

    A more isolated nature with effective warm sector weakly rotating
    cells may also manifest over the Low deserts, perhaps even Sun
    Valley of westernn and south-central AZ, eventually toward the
    western Mogollon Rim areas of Yavapai and Mohave counties. While
    more isolated, the stronger updraft rotations may also result in
    broader updraft/downdrafts to increase residency time (along with
    reduced forward speed from cell rotation). Isolated spots may
    result in localized flash flooding conditions across this area as
    well.

    507 AM EDT Sun Oct 11 2026

    Areas affected...Blue Ridge of Virginia, North Carolina and
    northern South Carolina...

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

    Valid 110910Z - 111500Z

    SUMMARY...Prolonged solid moisture flux into terrain with
    occasional localized south to north moving convective elements
    enhancing rates to 1"+/hr to add additional 1-2" with localized 3"
    spots along Blue Ridge. Flooding likely to continue and expand in
    coverage northward with time.

    DISCUSSION...Impressive GOES-E WV suite shows shortwave along
    eastern side has rotated north to recenter the deeper mid-level
    cyclone over central KY. This is lifting the center of Isaias
    northward into the Cumberland Plateau while also advancing the
    cold front out of GA into the Upstate of SC. Stationary front
    remains near the SC/NC border and is supporting active strong
    convection though the Gulf Stream. The combination is helping to
    maintain a solid low to mid-level gradient with cool conveyor belt
    still fluxing enhanced moisture north of the front westward into
    the terrain. CIRA LVT values are weakening slightly but remain
    above 150 kg/m/s across central VA given .75-.8" advected on
    30-40kts centered around 925mb. Aloft, the warm conveyor belt is
    broadening and shifting axis toward the Gulf Stream and 850-500
    LPW layers have seen a slow decrease; still 35-45kts of veering
    southwest to southerly flow is starting to intersect the terrain a
    bit more obliquely than earlier this morning and LVT values are
    more around 100-150 kg and narrowing toward the western branch of
    the WCB, just in advance of the cold front. As such, orographic
    ascent will support a third to half inch per hour, allowing for a
    broad area of 1-2" across the eastern slopes of the central
    Appalachians as the triple point lifts northeastward.

    Instability wedge remains about 500-1000 J/kg across SC, but is
    narrowing as well given limited northward surge of the effective
    warm front; convergence ahead of the front is still spurring
    convective development but it remains more scattered and less
    vigorous, continuous as before. Still given ample moisture, rates
    of 1-1.25"/hr remain possible across Upstate SC into the Foothills
    of W NC and far SW VA. Spots of additional 2-3" are possible but
    more likely to be isolated to widely scattered in nature. Given
    FFG values across far Upstate SC and W NC (less than .75" for all
    hours) are significantly compromised, even the remaining showers
    are likely to maintain flash flooding/broader riverine flooding
    this morning. As the TROWAL corridor shifts eastward intersecting
    into SW VA, FFG values have reduced to less than 1" for most hours
    as well and exceedance is probable. However, further north into
    central western VA, overall totals remain below 2" for the storm
    and additional 1-3" would bring some spots closer to FFG values
    but potential are less likely than further southwestward along the
    Blue Ridge Range.

    713 AM EDT Sun Oct 11 2026

    Areas affected...Southwest U.S.

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

    Valid 111113Z - 111700Z

    SUMMARY...Post.T.C Rachel continues to rapidly lift northeastward
    and inland across southeast CA, with its moisture and related
    heavy rainfall continuing to impact the broader Southwest U.S.
    Additional areas of flash flooding are expected going through the
    morning hours, with locally significant impacts possible.

    DISCUSSION...The latest GOES-W IR satellite imagery, surface
    observations and radar data shows the low center associated with
    Post-T.C. Rachel advancing quickly to the northeast across
    southeast CA. Heavy rainfall associated with an expanding
    mid-level deformation zone and frontogenesis axis is seen lifting
    quickly across southeast CA up through southern NV and into
    southwest UT.

    Some discrete areas of convection are noted south and east of the
    low center impacting adjacent areas of southern CA up through far
    southern NV and across central to northwest AZ. A nose of MUCAPE
    values reaching 500 to 1000 J/kg is aligned with the deeper layer
    southerly flow around thw eastern flank of Rachel. This coupled
    with very strong 850/700 mb moisture flux and orographic ascent
    over areas of higher terrain will encourage additional areas of
    convection going through the morning hours. In fact, the latest
    RAP analysis shows mean layer winds between 850/700mb on the order
    of 50 to 60 kts impacting central and western AZ and far southeast
    CA which is nosing toward southern NV and southwest UT.

    Rainfall rates will be capable of reaching up to 1.5 inches/hour
    with the stronger convective cells. However, the rapid motion of
    Rachel off to the northeast over the next several hours will at
    least locally mitigate the heavy rainfall threat to an extent.
    Regardless, the 06Z HREF/REFS consensus would suggest an
    additional 1 to 3 inches of rain near the path of Rachel, with
    potential for isolated max totals near 5 inches given the very
    strong moisture transport and orographic forcing/upslope flow into
    the terrain.

    Given the rainfall rates and totals expected over the next several
    hours. Additional areas of flash flooding are expected, and the
    more sensitive burn scar locations, slot canyon areas, and
    normally dry washes will be susceptible to impacts which may
    locally be significant.

    1210 PM EDT Sun Oct 11 2026

    Areas affected...South-Central to Southeast OH...Northeast
    KY...Central and Western WV...Southwest PA

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

    Valid 111610Z - 112210Z

    SUMMARY...Some increase in shower and thunderstorm activity is
    expected going through the afternoon hours. Locally high rainfall
    rates, slow cell-motions and wet antecedent conditions will likely
    support some areas of flash flooding.

    DISCUSSION...The latest GOES-E visible satellite imagery shows
    some partial clearing skies and thus an uptick in solar insolation
    across areas of central and western WV and southeast OH. The upper
    low associated with Post-T.C. Isaias continues to advance off to
    the east across portions of the Upper OH and TN Valley region and
    is expected to be moving into the central Appalachians by later
    this afternoon.

    This deep layer cyclonic energy will foster some modest steepening
    of mid-level lapse rates over the next few hours which coupled
    with an uptick in boundary layer instability should help foster an
    increase in shower and thunderstorm activity. MUCAPE values are
    already locally around 500 J/kg, and some increase in this
    magnitude can be expected through mid to late afternoon. In
    addition to greater coverage of convection, the increase in
    instability coupled with local orographics should an increase in
    rainfall rates.

    The latest 12Z HREF/REFS guidance suggests some rainfall rates of
    1 to 2 inches/hour are likely with the stronger convective cells.
    The cell-motions are likely to be rather slow, and with the aid of
    orographics over the higher terrain of the central Appalachians,
    some pockets of 2 to 3+ inch rainfall totals will be possible by
    late this afternoon.

    Antecedent soil conditions are quite sensitive with low FFGs and
    relatively elevated streamflows from earlier rainfall. The
    additional rainfall going through this afternoon will have a
    stronger convective footprint that will encourage more substantial
    runoff concerns at least locally. The highest HREF/REFS
    probabilities of seeing FFG exceedance are over central and
    western WV, but with the sensitivities more regionally that are in
    place, a relatively broader concern for areas of flash flooding is
    expected going through this afternoon.

    Areas affected...Southern UT...Northern AZ...Southeast
    CA...Southern NV

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

    Valid 111700Z - 112300Z

    SUMMARY...Post-T.C. Rachel and an amplifying longwave trough over
    the West Coast will direct exceptional amounts of moisture over
    the interior Southwest today. Additional flash flooding is likely
    with thunderstorms capable of producing between 1-2"/hr rainfall
    rates. Locally significant and life-threatening flash flooding is
    possible.

    DISCUSSION...GOES satellite is telling quite an active story this
    morning with Rachel's moisture now fully merged with a robust
    upper-level trough in the West. 12Z soundings from a pair of
    Southwest sites (Las Vegas, San Diego) all showed highly saturated
    atmospheric profiles with PWs that were above the 99.5
    climatological percentile. Visible satellite showed solid surface
    based heating getting underway in southern AZ and even in portions
    of north-central AZ, where instability will gradually increase
    this morning. RAP mesoanalysis shows >400 J/kg of SBCAPE has
    already started to develop over much of AZ. Strong southerly flow
    over AZ and into southern UT is also aiding in upslope enhanced
    rainfall rates, which per MRMS 15-minute rainfall rates, suggest
    just under 1"/hr rainfall rates have occurred south and east of
    Flagstaff.

    As instability increases, so too will the rainfall rates. The
    confidence in increasing rainfall rates is helped by a highly
    anomalous vapor moisture transport aloft. Both ECMWF and NAEFS
    SATs show IVTs approaching 750 kg/m/s, which is surpassing the
    maximum observed IVTs in the CFSR database (1979-2009). This is
    largely due to SWrly 850-700mb wind that are above the 99th
    climatological percentile, significantly influencing both the
    moisture transport and upslope enhancement.

    Combined with soils that are becoming overly saturated with each
    passing heavy shower and thunderstorm, the setup is there for more
    areas of flash flooding today. The latest 12Z HREF probabilities
    show a concerning signal for 35-45% odds for 6-hr QPF > 100yr ARIs
    around Zion Nat'l Park between 18-00Z this afternoon. The 15Z WoFS
    show thunderstorms capable of producing 0.1-0.2"/5-minute rainfall
    rates, indicating the potential for hourly rates as high as 2"/hr
    south and west of the Mogollon Rim and on to the Lower CO Valley.
    These parameters and signals all conclude that additional areas of
    flash flooding are likely today, and both significant and
    life-threatening flooding is possible.

    Areas affected...Intermountain West

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

    Valid 111755Z - 112355Z

    SUMMARY...Heavy rainfall in association with Post-T.C. Rachel will
    continue to lift north up across portions of the Intermountain
    West, including areas of eastern NV, central/northern UT, and into
    southeast ID. Persistent areas of heavy rain may result in some
    flooding concerns this afternoon including a localized burn scar
    flash flood threat.

    DISCUSSION...The latest GOES-W satellite imagery along with OSPO
    ALPW data shows a deep plume of tropical moisture in association
    with Post-T.C. Rachel continuing to rapidly advance well inland
    across portions of the Intermountain West. A well-defined frontal
    zone across the Great Basin will be advancing gradually east and
    continuing to interact with this moisture axis and the elongating
    low and mid-level vort energy from Rachel.

    The combination of this moisture with convergence along the front,
    along with strong orographics/upslope southerly flow in the
    850/700 mb layer across the region will continue to foster areas
    of heavy rainfall with some potential for embedded convective
    elements. Some MUCAPE values reaching 500+ J/kg are nosing up
    across southern and central UT, and this nose of modest
    instability may tend to advance farther north into northern UT
    this afternoon to facilitate the convective threat. GOES-W visible
    satellite images due to show areas of partial clearing across
    central and western UT, and the increase in solar insolation
    should favor an uptick in boundary layer instability.

    Enhanced 850/700mb moisture flux and the uptick in instability may
    favor some rainfall rates with any convective elements reaching as
    high as 1 inch/hour. The ejecting remnant energy of Rachel with
    the orographics will tend to support these higher rates also being
    a bit more focused over areas of higher terrain.

    Additional rainfall amounts through this afternoon of up to 2
    inches will be possible, and especially where any heavier rainfall
    rates with convection materialize. These additional rains may
    cause some areas of flooding, with there being a localized burn
    scar flash flood threat.

    643 PM EDT Sun Oct 11 2026

    Areas affected...Ohio Valley...Central Appalachians...Mid-Atlantic

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

    Valid 112245Z - 120430Z

    SUMMARY...A strengthening area of low pressure in central Virginia
    is likely to produce a pivoting axis of heavy showers and
    thunderstorms over soils that received 1.5-3" of rainfall today.
    With rainfall rates between 1-2"/hr possible, and more urban
    communities containing more hydrophobic surfaces at-risk, flash
    flooding will be possible this evening.

    DISCUSSION...21Z surface analysis shows a surface low over
    southern WV weakening at the same time surface pressures are
    lowering in the Mid-Atlantic. The 850mb low over central WV
    continues its slow progression east with with elevated moisture
    and theta-e levels starting to decrease as the best lift and
    moisture moves east of the Appalachians. Still, its slow
    progression is resulting in storm storms producing localized
    rainfall rates of 1"/hr over the flashy portions of western WV.
    Farther east, a warm front is slowly lifting north and west over
    the DelMarVa, but is unlikely to make it west of the I-95 corridor
    between DC and Baltimore.

    Over the next few hours, as the surface low strengthens in central
    VA, the surface-925mb flow will intersect the warm front and its
    vapor transport will revolve around the 925mb low's northern and
    western flank. This setup not only leads to some additional
    upslope enhancement into the central Appalachians (particuarly the
    Blue Ridge), but also causes surface-925mb FGEN over the I-95
    corridor. 21Z RAP shows >1.5" PWs pivoting over northern VA,
    northeast MD, and into the Delaware Valley at the same time that
    as much as 500 J/kg of MUCAPE becomes available. Most RAP model
    soundings on the 21Z HRRR show warm cloud layers between
    10,000-12,000ft deep, and low-mid level RH values averaging close
    to 90%.

    The low pressure system exit off the coast later tonight, and the
    window for slower moving storms may be a few hours at most. That
    said, FFGs have dipped substantially over western and northern VA,
    central MD, and even as far north and east as southeast PA with
    some 1-hr FFGs under 1". University of Maryland mesonet sites show
    between 2-3" of rain have fallen since midnight in central MD, and
    when factoring in these storms occurring near a more urbanized
    corridor from northern VA to southeast PA, there is some concern
    that 1-2"/hr rainfall rates could result in localized flash
    flooding this evening.

    Areas affected...Northern AZ...Southern UT...Southeast
    NV...Southwest CO

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

    Valid 112330Z - 120430Z

    SUMMARY...The interior Southwest will continue to see scattered
    thunderstorms capable of producing rainfall rates of 1"/hr atop
    increasingly sensitive soils. Additional areas of flash flooding
    are likely with locally significant flash flooding possible.

    DISCUSSION...The prolonged fetch of anomalous IVTs surpassing 500
    kg/m/s and PWs above the 97.5 climatological percentile will
    continue into the first half of the evening. Persistent SWrly
    700mb winds will continue to favor upslope enhancement along
    various mountain ranges (Mogollon Rim, Zion Nat'l Park, San Juan).
    CAPE levels are beginning to come down as surface based heating
    decreases, but soils remain quite saturated. Southeast NV,
    southwest UT, and northern AZ contain 50-75% soil saturation per
    FLASH CREST with localized values topping 75%. Latest 22Z HRRR
    shows pockets of >1" rainfall totals and the 18Z HREF shows low
    chances (20-30%) for 6-hr QPF > 10yr ARIs in southern UT, northern
    AZ, and southeast NV. Upslope enhancement may linger a bit longer
    over the San Juan Mountains given their placement farther east and
    downwind of the longwave trough. Additional flash flooding is
    likely this evening as a result of the lingering efficient
    rainfall rates and increasingly sensitive soils.

    Areas affected...Western and Northern AZ...Southern UT

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

    Valid 121155Z - 121755Z

    SUMMARY...An increase in showers and some thunderstorm activity
    may result in some additional areas of flash flooding going
    through the morning hours.

    DISCUSSION...Radar and satellite imagery shows a gradual uptick in
    the coverage of shower activity across areas of western and
    northern AZ in association with an ejecting shortwave trough that
    is seen lifting northeastward toward the region ahead of a deeper
    layer trough farther to the west.

    This energy and proximity of a cold front are working in tandem
    with a nose of modest instability to facilitate the convective
    development. MUCAPE values are locally near 500 J/kg, and the
    latest OSPO ALPW data shows a relatively focused channel of
    moisture in the 850/700 mb cloud-bearing layer to promote some
    relatively efficient convection for locally heavy rainfall rates.

    The latest HRRR guidance and the 06Z HREF suite suggest some
    additional expansion of showers and perhaps a few thunderstorms
    going through the morning hours as the shortwave energy lifts
    across the region. DPVA associated with this along with orographic
    ascent over areas of higher terrain will support some localized
    enhancement of the convection.

    Some spotty 1+ inch/hour rainfall rates will be possible over the
    next several hours, and especially across northwest AZ. The latest
    hires CAMs suggest some localized swaths of up to 2 inches of rain
    being possible where some brief cell-training occurs. Given these
    additional rains and the sensitive antecedent conditions on the
    ground, some additional areas of flash flooding will be possible.
    Some of the slot canyon and burn scar locations will be at
    greatest risk for impacts.

    Areas affected...central/southeastern NV, northwestern AZ into
    central UT

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

    Valid 121903Z - 130100Z

    SUMMARY...A few areas of flash flooding will be possible through
    the late afternoon/early evening across southeastern NV,
    central/northwestern AZ into central UT. Peak hourly rainfall of
    0.5 to 1.0 inches is expected.

    DISCUSSION...Regional radar and visible satellite imagery has
    shown a steady increase in the coverage and intensity of showers
    across central AZ into southeastern NV/southwestern UT over the
    past 2 hours ending at 1830Z. GLM imagery also noted some embedded thunderstorms over southeastern NV at times. This activity was
    located ahead of an eastward advancing mid to upper-level trough
    axis extending from northwestern NV into southern CA (just west of
    the Los Angeles metro). While precipitable water values have
    lowered compared to 24 hours ago, they remain anomalous (+1 to +2
    standard deviations above the mean) ahead of the upper trough axis
    from the lower CO River Valley into northern AZ and much of UT.
    Instability is weak however, with modest surface dewpoints in the
    mid-40s to mid-50s and areas of cloud cover resulting in less than
    500 J/kg MLCAPE area-wide via the 18Z SPC mesoanalysis.

    Despite the weak instability, lift associated with the advancing
    upper trough axis and the left-exit region of a RAP forecast upper
    level jet streak from the CA/MX border into western AZ are
    expected to help support the continued development of showers and
    thunderstorms through the afternoon and early evening hours. RAP
    forecast soundings show that dry air in the upper levels will
    limit the vertical extent of any showers/thunderstorms that form
    but flow will remain unidirectional from the southwest supporting
    repeating and training segments of heavy rainfall. Continued
    surface heating should allow for a few pockets of 500+ J/kg MLCAPE
    to develop into the afternoon according to recent RAP forecasts.

    Peak rainfall of 0.5 to 1.0 inches in an hour (or less than an
    hour) are expected where southwest to northeast axes of heavy rain
    setup. Flash flooding may result given widespread heavy rainfall
    over the past 24-48 hours associated with Post-T.C. Rachel which
    has increased soil moisture and stream/river levels. Areas of
    flash flooding may result with slot canyons, sensitive burn scars,
    small streams and normally dry washes at greatest risk for impacts.

    Areas affected...southeastern TX into western LA

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

    Valid 131657Z - 132255Z

    SUMMARY...A few slow moving showers/thunderstorms are expected to
    impact portions of southeastern TX into western LA through the
    afternoon. Slow movement and high rain rates may result in
    Isolated flash flooding through 23Z.

    DISCUSSION...Visible satellite and radar imagery at 1630Z showed
    cloud streets over southeastern TX into far western LA and the
    early stages of shower development within a highly moist
    environment. Precipitable water values were 2.2 to 2.5 inches via
    15Z GPS sensor data from southwestern LA into southeastern TX and
    16Z SPC mesoanalysis data showed uninhibited MLCAPE of 1000 to
    2000+ J/kg across the same area. The showers were forming to the
    west of a sharp moisture gradient that extended from the central
    Gulf, northward into central LA...the remnants of an old frontal
    boundary.

    An expanding coverage and intensity of showers/thunderstorms
    should be expected into the afternoon along subtle axes of low
    level confluence, with some cells exhibiting slow movement. Deeper
    layer steering flow was only 5 to 10 kt, oriented from the south
    to southwest, of a similar orientation to the low level flow as
    noted on VAD wind plots from KLCH and KHGX. 925-850 mb layer winds
    of 10-15 kt are forecast to continue through much of the day,
    which could support training to stationary cell movement at times.
    A lack of shear under a mid to upper level ridge should limit
    organization but due to the high moisture environment, hourly
    rainfall of 1 to 2 inches will be likely, with localized hourly
    rainfall over 2 inches at times. These high rates could result in
    isolated flash flooding, with urban areas or other locations of
    poor drainage at most risk of impacts. Peak total rainfall through
    the evening of 2 to 4 inches is expected, but isolated higher
    totals may occur as seen on some of the recent hires guidance from
    the 12Z HREF/REFS.

    534 PM EDT Tue Oct 13 2026

    Areas affected...northeastern TX Panhandle, southwestern OK into
    KS and northwestern MO

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

    Valid 132132Z - 140330Z

    SUMMARY...Thunderstorms are likely to develop near a
    quasi-stationary front and dryline into the evening hours. Areas
    of training will coincide with hourly rainfall of 1-2 inches,
    leading to 2 to 4+ inch peak rainfall totals through 03Z.

    DISCUSSION...21Z observations showed a well-defined
    stationary/cold front extending from northern MO into
    central/southwestern KS, marked by warm sector surface
    temperatures in the low 90s and dewpoints in the upper 60s/lower
    70s, while surface temperatures were only in the 50s across
    northwestern KS on the cold side of the boundary. A dryline
    extended southwestward from the front near Dodge City into the
    central TX Panhandle. SPC mesoanalysis data from 21Z showed MLCAPE
    of 2000-3000 J/kg east of the dryline and south of the cold front
    over KS into northern OK. Radar imagery from 2115Z showed
    thunderstorms along and just north of the front over central KS
    but additional storms were developing along the KS/OK border, just
    east of the triple point and towering cumulus were noted farther
    south into the TX Panhandle ahead of the dryline.

    Surface convergence will continue to aid in the development of
    thunderstorms ahead of the dryline and near the cold/stationary
    front through 00Z. Beyond 00Z, RAP model guidance has shown the
    low level jet across OK increasing into the 25-35 kt range through
    03Z, oriented from south to north into the slowly southward
    sagging cold front over KS, while the dryline begins to retreat
    westward across the TX/OK panhandles. The coverage of
    thunderstorms is expected to become numerous between 00-03Z, with
    WSW to ENE steering flow supporting areas of training, with the
    greatest training potential in KS following the frontal boundary's
    WSW to ENE orientation. Hourly rainfall of 1-2 inches within
    training axes will become likely and rainfall accumulations
    through 03Z of 2 to 4 inches (locally higher possible) are
    expected. These higher rainfall totals may result in areas of
    flash flooding with the threat continuing beyond this MPD's
    expiration into the night.

    Areas affected...Western Oklahoma...Northwest Texas...Eastern TX
    Panhandle...

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

    Valid 140245Z - 140800Z

    SUMMARY...Favorable environment for upstream back-building and
    repeating through areas of recent heavy rainfall. High FFG
    suggests any flooding will be localized and widely scattered with
    best potential in urban centers.

    DISCUSSION...GOES-E 10.3um EIR loop shows rapid warming of
    convective cluster across SW portions of OK associated with a
    solid bowing segment that is becoming more forward propagating
    (eastward). While this is diminishing with rates reducing below
    1"/hr, there remains a broad area of remaining conditionally
    unstable air along the southern upwind edge. VWP and RAP analysis
    also denote an increase in LLJ speed with tightening confluent
    850-700mb flow that is expected to veer throughout the overnight
    period. This will continue to maintain a solid deep layer
    convergent flow in proximity to tap the 1000-1500 J/kg of
    remaining MLCAPE. Overall total moisture aided by the convergence
    will remain over 2", though most moisture is in the lowest layers
    (sfc Tds in the low 70s and CIRA LPW maximized near the SW OK/TX
    border). This may support rates up to 2"/hr especially if the
    updrafts can broaden with time.

    RADAR already shows a few scattered cells developing over the
    eastern portion of the Cap Rock toward NW Texas with a few TCu
    further upstream toward an isolated cell nearing Dawson county.
    Given potent upstream inflow/convergence, backbuilding is expected
    to maintain along the upwind edge as such, stripes of 2-3" totals
    could be possible. This alone would not likely be an issue, but
    with precursory 1-3" totals (mainly across Donaly to Washita
    county) overall totals toward 3-4" totals may help to result in a
    few possible localized but widely scattered incidents of flash
    flooding through the overnight period, especially if cells track
    through urban centers.

    1125 PM EDT Tue Oct 13 2026

    Areas affected...South-central & Southeast KS...Central & Southern
    MO...Far Southwest IL...Far Northern Oklahoma...

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

    Valid 140325Z - 140900Z

    SUMMARY...Strong line of thunderstorms with some
    repeating/training elements (mainly upstream) that could result in
    spots of 2-4" resulting in localized incident or two of flash
    flooding overnight.

    DISCUSSION...03z surface analysis shows well defined
    cold/stationary front extending from western IL across N MO toward
    a weak surface wave east of KC before continuing SW toward the
    main 1010 surface low near Medicine Lodge, KS. Aloft, the cold
    front resides along the southeastern edge of a strong 110kt jet
    streak providing solid divergence aloft along its length with
    broadening diffluence along the downstream edge in MO into IL.
    Along with the divergence aloft, the mean steering flow is
    generally parallel to the frontal zone/divergence pattern to allow
    for at least short-term internal repeating/training elements.
    Further downstream along the line, 500-1000mb thickness pattern
    and a bit more modest dry air aloft combine to support slightly
    stronger cold pools and indirect circulation resulting in
    increased southeastward propagation off the frontal zone.

    Instability is fairly solid across the warm sector of southern KS
    into S MO with wedge of slowly stabilizing MLCAPEs from 2000 J/kg
    further upstream toward 1250 J/kg across NE MO/W IL. This will
    continue to support stronger back-sheared updrafts and forward
    motions especially further northeastward along the line. Narrow
    ribbon of 2" total PWats pooled along the front expand toward
    1.75" range across the warm sector and with solid 20-25kt
    confluent inflow and instability to feed off, cores will still
    support 1.75-2"/hr rates resulting in spots of 1.5-2.5" totals in
    30-90 minutes. Further southwest, toward the surface low,
    effective fulcrum of the convective line, strong, more orthogonal
    boundary layer to 850mb LLJ will support upstream redevelopment
    but also slow southward propagation to allow for increased
    residency time. CIRA LVT values are steadily increasing with LLJ
    increasing to 40kts, supporting flux values of 150-175 kg/m/s.
    As such, rates of 2"+/hr rates for 1-2+ hours should result in a
    broader stripe of 2-4" totals with an isolated higher amount not
    withstanding.

    Hydrologically, lowest FFGs reside along the cold front with a few
    spots of 1.5"/hr near Comanche/Harper county KS, as well as
    Cooper/Morgan county MO but are generally 2"/hr or even 2.5"
    across portions of the drier Ozark Plateau; with similar 2.5-3" in
    3hrs becoming 4"/3hrs further south. As such, potential for
    exceedance is greatest in the near term, reducing with time but
    there remains sufficient potential for localized exceedance
    overnight, especially across south-central KS and as such,
    localized incidents of flash flooding continue to be possible.

    Areas affected...Western Texas Panhandle...

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

    Valid 140350Z - 140930Z

    SUMMARY...Potential for continued training/redevelopment of
    thunderstorms capable of 1.5-2"/hr and localized 2-3" totals.
    Given hard grounds/high rates, high run-off is likely to result in
    scattered incident(s) of flash flooding.

    DISCUSSION...Recent hours of surface observations and 3.9um SWIR
    animation shows dry line that has been setup through the Pecos
    River Valley has increased in westwestward retrograding through
    the Stockon Plateau into the Big Bend. IR loop had shown
    increased mid-level clouds in narrowing confluent low to mid-level south-southwesterly return flow out of north-central Mexico. A
    subtle shortwave has lifted north into the furhtest southward
    extention of the 90kt upper-level jet providing a combination of
    weak dPVA and divergence aloft to further support the surface to
    boundary layer strengthening convergence along the dry line. Low
    level flow is very moist given Tds of mid to upper-60s are
    intersecting with the return sub-tropical moisture at .5" and .4"
    from 850-700 and 700-500mb layers, supporting enhanced 1.75" total
    Pwats. The low level higher theta-E return and modest lapse
    rates aloft, has supported MLCAPEs over 1500 J/kg and as a result
    scattered Cu has recently blossomed to stronger cores across the
    Big Bend of TX with overshooting tops cooling below -75C nearing
    -80C.

    Given the convergence, rates of 1.5-2"/hr and while there is some
    modest northward steering flow the orienation of the line to the
    mean flow may support short-term repeating and spots of 2-3" are
    becoming more likely. Hi-Res CAMs and forcing still upstream, the
    potential for additional development along the dryline is possible
    and increasing toward the north through the overnight period.
    Given the high moisture/rates and hard ground conditions, rapid
    runoff is expected and localized flash flooding is considered
    likely.

    Areas affected...Eastern Texas Panhandle...Western to
    North-central Oklahoma...

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

    Valid 140730Z - 141300Z

    SUMMARY...Continuing isolated flash flooding risk through late
    overnight period into early morning. Some back-building cells may
    repeat through already flooded areas. Additional 1-3" are
    possible.

    DISCUSSION...Current Regional RADAR and GOES-E EIR loop shows a
    weakening linear complex with subtle, storm scale outflow/bowing
    segements crossing Kiowa to Logan counties in west-central to
    central OK. A few isolated tops remain colder than -70C and
    indicate rates up to 2", however, the overall trends are slowly
    ticking downward as cluster is moving into more stable environment
    across northeast OK where even MUCAPEs reduce below 500 J/kg.

    However, 07z surface analysis and RADAR shows broader outflow
    boundary from elevated convective complex remains favorably
    oriented along the upstream edge over SW OK into the eastern
    portions of the northern Texas Panhandle. VWP continue to depict
    30-35kts of confluent 850mb flow in the vicinity of 100W though
    remains fairly orthogonal from the south. An axis of
    enhnaced/untapped unstable air remains across the Cap Rock into W
    OK, where MUCAPEs remain 1000-1500 J/kg. CIRA LPW shows 850-700
    and 700-500mb moisture axis aligned over this area as well, and
    with Tds still in the upper 60s, overall total available moisture
    remains about 2". An upstream shortwave at the southeastern edge
    of the upper-level right entrance region to the jet will continue
    to advance northward, maintaining the slowly veering LLJ and
    provide further isentropic ascent/convergence over the outflow for
    additional development. A few cells are occuring across Donley
    into Wheeler county, but given satellite trends and upstream
    convective activity approaching from the SW associated with the
    mid to upper-level forcing, will expect further development to
    occur.

    Deep layer flow remains fairly steady to further support WSW to
    ENE repeating/training and unfortunately is expected to be very
    close to the area already affected/flooding from Collinsworth to N
    Caddo county. With slightly reduced instability, convection may
    still be vigorous enough to support 1.5"/hr rates and so with
    potential repeating an addtional 1-3" totals are possible and are
    possible to maintain ongoing flooding conditions or expand them
    areally. Still, there is still sufficient uncertainty in latitude
    that additional flash flooding is considered possible.

    Areas affected...Western Texas Panhandle to Cap Rock...Southeast
    New Mexico...

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

    Valid 140855Z - 141300Z

    SUMMARY...Increasing convection along retreating dryline may
    repeat for some time resulting in 1.5"/hr rates and localized 2-3"
    totals. Isolated flash flooding remains possible.

    DISCUSSION...GOES-E WV and CIRA LPW animation continue to show
    narrow enhanced deep layer moisture plume extending from
    sub-tropics of the western Mexican coast through E Chihuahua/W
    Coahuila into Big Bend Region before connecting up to the frontal
    boundary across the northern TX Panhandle. A subtle shortwave
    feature within the narrow plume exists at the upstream edge of a
    high-cirrus streak across E NM generally under the central canopy
    of the weakening convective cluster. A few remaining cells along
    the upwind edge still are tapping the remainin instability through
    the Rio Grande Valley and will support continued localized flash
    flooding risk as it weakens lifting northward into the more
    stabilized air across the Davis Mountains and Stockton Plateau.

    Downstream of the shortwave, the dryline has retrograded well into
    SE NM from near Carlsbad to east of Clovis toward Amarillo.
    Slightly backed surface flow, perhaps enhanced by older convective
    outflow has increased boundary layer convergence along the dryline
    and remaining unstable air mass along the dryline northward toward
    the surface low. RADAR and GOES-E IR show convective initiation
    along the boundary and given 1000-1250 J/kg of MLCAPE and 1.75-2"
    of total PWats and 25-30kts of 850mb flux, cells will be capable
    of quick 1.5" (occasionally/locally higher) rates. Northeastward
    propagation may limit overall totals, but orientation of other
    downstream cells could still allow a short window of
    repeating/training across the northern Permian Basin into the Cap
    Rock region. As such, a streak or two of 2-3" totals are
    possible, resulting in isolated to widely scattered exceedance of
    FFG values both at 1 (1.5-2") and 3hrs (1.75-2.5") and possible
    incident or two of low-end flash flooding risk.

    Areas affected...Oklahoma

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

    Valid 141343Z - 141900Z

    SUMMARY...A few areas of flash flooding are likely to continue
    over the next couple of hours over OK, but a lull in precipitation
    intensity is expected toward 18Z. Additional rainfall totals of
    2-4 inches through 19Z should be anticipated, including some
    overlap with portions of western OK which received heavy rain over
    the past 13 hours.

    DISCUSSION...13Z surface observations and radar imagery showed an
    outflow boundary extended roughly east to west across
    south-central OK, with ongoing thunderstorms from western to
    northeastern OK. Back to the west, an MCV was noted over the
    southern TX Panhandle, tracking toward the northeast, providing
    some local enhancement to the low level flow just to its east.
    Infrared satellite imagery showed that cloud tops continued to
    cool over portions of west-central OK as low level flow of 20-25
    kt continues to overrun the outflow boundary and lingering
    instability of 500-1500 J/kg remains available to sustain higher
    rainfall rates. MUCAPE was locally higher as seen on the 12Z OUN
    sounding with ~1850 J/kg along with 2.2 inches of precipitable
    water containing mid to upper level moisture contributions
    streaming north from Hurricane Simon in the eastern Pacific.

    Short term forecasts from the RAP support southerly 925-850 mb
    winds gradually weakening through 18Z by about 10 to 15 kt which
    should help diminish the coverage and intensity of ongoing
    thunderstorms across the region over the next 3-5 hours. However,
    showers and thunderstorms will continue to linger across the
    region into the early afternoon and mean southwesterly steering
    flow will support areas of training with hourly rainfall of 1-2
    inches at times. Additional rainfall totals of 2 to 4 inches are
    expected through 19Z with some overlap expected with a stripe of
    4-8 inches of rain that fell across western OK since ~00Z.
    Therefore, areas of flash flooding appear likely to continue in
    the short term, though a relative lull is forecast later this
    morning.

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

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

    Valid 141845Z - 150030Z

    SUMMARY...Areas of flash flooding will be possible across the
    upper OH Valley into the central Appalachians through 01Z. Hourly
    rainfall of 1 to 2 inches is expected with 6-hr totals of 2 to 4
    inches possible (isolated higher rates/totals).

    DISCUSSION...18Z visible satellite and radar imagery showed an MCV
    over southeastern IN (between I-70 and I-74), tracking toward the
    east, preceded by an axis of thunderstorms stretching from the
    southern IN/OH border into northern KY. Farther east, a narrow
    west-east axis of showers and thunderstorms was located along I-70
    in eastern OH along a pre-frontal convergence axis. The
    environment downstream of the eastward advancing MCV showed mostly
    clear skies with a few pockets of 500-1000 J/kg MLCAPE via the 18Z
    SPC mesoanalysis. Precipitable water values were high along the
    OH/WV border with 1.6 to 1.7 inches, but increased to near 2
    inches over southeastern IN, near the MCV.

    Continued heating and moisture advection within the moist
    environment downstream of the MCV should allow for further
    increases in instability with 500 to 1000+ J/kg becoming more
    widespread across the upper OH Valley by 21Z via the 17Z RAP.
    Steering flow is generally unidirectional from the west throughout
    the region and while 850-300 mb layer winds were a progressive
    30-40 kt, there will be some potential for cells to train with any
    west-east oriented development that occurs ahead of the MCV. There
    will also be some potential for west-east training over portions
    of eastern KY along the southwestern flank of the MCV as it tracks
    into WV late this afternoon into the early evening. A lack of
    higher instability and mostly progressive storm motions are
    limiting factors for flash flooding, but any areas of training
    that develop will allow for hourly rainfall of 1 to 2 inches.
    These values alone would exceed 1-hr FFG values along the OH River
    into much of WV. Any stronger convection that is able to train or
    repeat for over an hour could allow for some 2 to 4 inch totals
    through 00Z.

    Areas affected...Big Bend of TX into southwestern OK

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

    Valid 142038Z - 150235Z

    SUMMARY...Increasing thunderstorm coverage from southwestern TX
    into southwestern OK should result in a few areas of flash
    flooding through the evening hours. Training thunderstorms with
    peak hourly rainfall of 2 to 3+ inches is expected.

    DISCUSSION...20Z radar imagery showed a few strong to severe
    thunderstorms over northwestern TX (just north of an outflow
    boundary) and southwestern TX (ahead of a subtle mid-level
    vorticity max near the Rio Grande). These storms were located
    within a corridor of highly anomalous moisture with low level
    contributions from the western Gulf and mid to upper level
    contributions from Hurricane Simon in the eastern Pacific. Total
    precipitable water values ranged from 1.5 to 2.0 inches (200 to
    300 percent of normal via the latest Blended TPW imagery) across
    this corridor and MLCAPE was 1000 to 2000+ along and south of the
    outflow boundary (via 20Z SPC mesoanalysis data).

    There are two main corridors of concern over the next 6 hours. The
    first is up north, along and just north of an outflow boundary
    that extended from near the Red River at U.S. Hwy 271 to just
    south of Lubbock. 850 mb winds of 10-20 kt will support a
    overrunning component atop the rain-cooled boundary while a
    forecast increase in the 850 mb flow toward 00Z is expected to
    coincide with an increase in ascent and thunderstorm coverage
    across western portions of TX. Mean southwesterly steering flow
    will promote training axes of heavy rain at times with hourly
    rainfall peaking above 2 inches at times. While this axis is
    expected to remain south of a zone of heavy rain that impacted
    western OK earlier this morning, at least a few areas of flash
    flooding are expected to result over northwestern TX to just north
    of the Red River. However localized heavy rain may still impact
    the compromised areas of western OK into early tonight.

    The other area of concern is farther south, where an expanding
    region of thunderstorms between Fort Stockton and Odessa will
    likely continue to advance north and east over the next few hours
    with upstream development highly probable within the anomalous
    moisture axis. Additional development is most likely along the
    eastern edges of cloud cover present over parts of the Trans Pecos
    region, although a few cells along the higher terrain beneath the
    present cloud cover will be possible. This activity will track
    northeastward with elements of training, aiding by strengthening
    right-entrance region divergence in association with a jet max
    over eastern NM.

    The environment across western TX into southwestern OK will
    support hourly rainfall of 1 to 2 inches with peak values of 2 to
    3+ inches possible. Rainfall totals through 03Z of 3 to 5 inches
    are expected (at least locally) with isolated higher totals
    possible. Areas of flash flooding will be likely through this
    evening.

    Areas affected...Central OK...West TX

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

    Valid 150314Z - 150914Z

    Summary...Training thunderstorms containing peak hourly rainfall
    rates exceeding 2 in/hr will continue tonight. Widely scattered to
    numerous instances of flash flooding are expected.

    Discussion...Radar mosaic this evening depicts an MCS exhibiting a
    line echo wave pattern (LEWP), which is moving eastward across
    portions of central OK and northern TX. Upwind of the LEWP,
    training thunderstorms are expanding in coverage near a stationary
    segment of the cold pool over west-central TX. As highlighted in
    MPD 1495, this complex is embedded in a favorable environment for
    efficient heavy rainfall production, with low level contributions
    from the western Gulf and mid-level contributions from Hurricane
    Simon in the eastern Pacific. Recent mesoanalysis data suggests
    PWs near the complex range from 1.7-2.0", with MUCAPE near 1000
    J/kg.

    Over the next 6 hours, the main axis of training will focus along
    the cold pool as the low-level jet strengthens and Corfidi vectors
    align favorably with the low level boundary. Strong thermodynamic
    advection will result in PWs exceeding 2" and MUCAPE values in the
    2000 J/kg range as the low-level jet strengthens, supporting
    hourly rainfall rates exceeding 2"/hr at times in the most intense
    cells.

    Through 9z, CAM guidance unanimously highlights the potential for
    an additional 2-4" in the highlighted area. Owing to the previous
    24 hours of heavy rainfall (upwards of 4-10" west of the OKC
    metro), this will maintain the threat of widely scattered to
    numerous instances of flash flooding. Flash flooding is considered
    likely, and considerable to significant flash flooding impacts
    remain possible over urban zones or areas inundated from
    yesterday's rainfall.

    Areas affected...Southern Plains

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

    Valid 150919Z - 151519Z

    Summary...The potential for scattered flash flooding will persist
    into the morning hours as showers and thunderstorms continue to
    train along a slow moving outflow boundary and approaching cold
    front.

    Discussion...Latest analysis this morning depicts a nearly
    stationary outflow boundary extending from southeast OK into
    north-central TX. Along and north of this boundary, showers and
    thunderstorms continue to train along an ENE axis, leading to
    swaths of 1-3" of rain over the last six hours according to MRMS.

    Over north-central TX, pronounced low-level inflow from a strong
    low-level jet has destabilized and moistened the upwind portion of
    the boundary. Recent objective analysis and RAP trends suggests a
    positive 3 hr MLCAPE and PW change of 200-600 J/kg and 0.2-0.4",
    respectively. This trend is corroborated by a rapid cooling of
    cloud tops in a thunderstorm cluster entering southwest OK.

    As such, the HREF and REFS suggest thunderstorms with max rainfall
    rates upwards of 2"/hr will expand in coverage and intensity for
    the next 2-3 hours along the cold pool. Some weakening of the the
    low-level jet could lead to a brief lull in thunderstorm intensity
    this morning, although another round of activity is expected over
    the same by 14-15Z with the approach of the cold front from the
    west. By then, the HRRR and RRFS suggest additional swaths of 1-3"
    of rain is possible in the highlighted area, which could support
    additional scattered flash flooding this morning.

    Areas affected...western to northwestern TX

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

    Valid 151527Z - 152045Z

    Summary...A few areas of flash flooding are expected across
    northwestern TX over the next 3-5 hours from hourly rainfall of 1
    to 2 inches. Additional thunderstorm development is expected
    between 18-21Z farther south into the lower Pecos Valley which may
    trigger the start of a separate round of flash flooding.

    Discussion...Radar imagery from 15Z showed an axis of showers and
    thunderstorms that extended from near Midland into southwestern
    OK. The highest rain rates have been located over northwestern TX
    over the past 1-2 hours with hourly values of 1-2 inches via MRMS.
    Overrunning of a long-lived outflow boundary in place over
    northwestern TX was occurring with 10-20 kt of southerly low level
    flow over western TX and 500-1000 J/kg MUCAPE north of the outflow
    boundary up to the Red River.

    Surface observations from 15Z showed a NE to SW oriented cold
    front approaching northwestern TX that connected into a surface
    low near Midland. Also near Midland was an MCV, seen on radar
    imagery, located about 25 miles SSE of the city, associated with
    recent convective development to its north where the cold front
    was approaching.

    Short term forecasts show the cold front over northwestern TX will
    make steady progress toward the southeast through 21Z but the
    surface low near Midland will be slower to advance southeastward.
    Low level overrunning and enhancement of lift ahead of the
    northeastward advancing MCV will likely maintain a flash flood
    threat to the north of the outflow boundary across northwestern
    TX, overlapping portions of the region that have received heavy
    rain over the past 24 hours. Additional rainfall totals of 1-3
    inches (locally higher possible) are expected through 21Z for
    portions of northwestern TX.

    Farther south, as the cold front begins to move through the lower
    Pecos Valley to the south of the surface low, additional
    thunderstorms are expected to increase in coverage in the 18-21Z
    time frame containing a general motion toward the northeast. Mean
    southwest to northeast steering flow may promote areas of training
    and flash flooding that is expected to intensify through the
    afternoon. Given a high moisture environment containing
    precipitable water values of 1.7 to 2.0 inches, training could
    result in hourly rainfall approaching or exceeding 2 inches later
    today across portions of southwestern TX.

    Areas affected...eastern KY into WV

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

    Valid 151640Z - 152230Z

    Summary...Isolated flash flooding may occur across eastern KY into
    WV through late afternoon from training and hourly rainfall of 1-2
    inches. Areal coverage of any higher rain rates/impacts is
    expected to remain limited however.

    Discussion...A small region of showers was observed on local radar
    imagery over eastern KY at 1615Z, tracking toward the east at
    about 20 kt. There has been a history of embedded training of
    heavy rain within the area of showers containing MRMS-derived
    hourly rainfall of 1-2 inches over the eastern third of KY since
    12Z. According to 16Z data from the SPC mesoanalysis, eastern KY
    contained ~2 inches of precipitable water and MLCAPE of 100-500
    J/kg. A quasi-stationary front extended west to east from
    north-central KY into southern WV and a weak rain-cooled outflow
    boundary was becoming more apparent just south of the recent
    rainfall in KY.

    There will continue to be an isolated threat for 1-2 inch hourly
    rainfall with the area of showers as it tracks into
    central/southern WV over the next 1 to 2 hours, but potential for
    additional shower/thunderstorm development will occur later this
    afternoon into the early evening back to the west. RAP forecast
    guidance shows MLCAPE increasing up to 500 J/kg for WV and near
    1000 J/kg into eastern KY. In addition, 925-850 mb winds of 15-25
    kt are forecast over KY into WV with an overrunning component of
    the outflow and frontal boundary which may support a few widely
    scattered showers and thunderstorms after 19Z. Mean westerly
    steering flow could promote training and hourly rainfall of 1-2
    inches within the moist environment. Isolated flash flooding may
    result across the sensitive terrain of the Cumberland Plateau into
    the central Appalachians.

    Areas affected...southwestern to northern TX

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

    Valid 152102Z - 160300Z

    Summary...A few areas of flash flooding are expected across
    southwestern to northern TX over the next 3-6 hours. Thunderstorm
    coverage is likely to expand through 00Z with areas of training
    supporting hourly rainfall of 1 to 3 inches.

    Discussion...Radar imagery from 2030Z showed a cluster of
    thunderstorms bisecting I-20 in the vicinity of Abilene, slowly
    tracking toward the east near a frontal wave. Additional slow
    moving thunderstorms were noted about 20 to 60 miles east and
    northeast of Abilene, located along an outflow boundary that
    draped eastward from the frontal wave near Abilene, across
    northwestern TX before curving northeastward into southeastern OK.
    MRMS-derived hourly rainfall with these thunderstorms has
    generally peaked in the 1 to 2 inch range over the past couple of
    hours. 20Z SPC mesoanalysis showed a corridor of ~1000 to 1500
    J/kg MLCAPE that extended near and south of the outflow boundary
    over northern TX to the Rio Grande near Del Rio, out ahead of a
    cold front over western and southwestern TX.

    The region of TX between the Rio Grande and lower Pecos Valley to
    the Red River between Vernon and Denison remained located within
    an anomalous stream of moisture containing PW values of 1.5 to 2.0
    inches via recent GPS observations. Visible satellite imagery
    revealed a number of smaller scale circulations embedded within
    this moisture axis over northern Mexico, advancing northward, with
    one near the Rio Grande just south of Val Verde County.

    Short term forecasts show the cold front continuing to advance
    southeastward through this evening, catching up with and
    overtaking the outflow boundary in place over northern TX through
    03Z. As peak heating combines with increasing low level
    convergence in association with the approaching cold front and
    subtle embedded mid-level impulses, numerous thunderstorms are
    expected to develop through the evening hours from the Rio Grande,
    northward. Between 00-03Z an axis of thunderstorms is expected to
    be in place from the Rio Grande to northern TX, but waning
    instability across northern locations will favor higher rainfall
    rate potential across southern locations after 00Z. Within axes of
    SW to NE training, hourly rainfall of 1-2 inches will be likely,
    but peak hourly rainfall of 2 to 3+ may also occur. These higher
    rainfall rates are likely to result in at least a few areas of
    flash flooding into the early overnight hours.

    Areas affected...South-Central Texas

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

    Valid 160310Z - 160900Z

    Summary...A swath of heavy rainfall with embedded thunderstorms
    may lead to some instances of flooding through the early morning
    hours from the central Rio Grande to north-central Texas. The
    heaviest rainfall and flash flood potential will be across
    southern portions of the outlook area.

    Discussion...Current Doppler radar imagery continues to indicate
    widespread moderate to heavy rainfall with some stronger areas of
    convection on the poleward side of a slowly advancing cold front,
    with an anafrontal rainfall set-up. This is due to surface to 850
    mb flow from the southeast being lifted over the frontal boundary,
    in an environment of anomalous PWs for October with values in the
    1.7 to 2.0 inch per recent SPC mesoanalysis. The mitigating factor
    is the gradually waning instability parameters, generally at or
    below 500 J/kg of mixed layer CAPE, highest near the Rio Grande.
    Although the overall rainfall rates have been modest in most areas
    this evening, the extended duration is increasing the ground
    saturation and leading to increased run-off and flooding concerns.

    The latest CAM guidance suite is indicating the potential for
    scattered QPF maxima on the order of 1 to 3 inches through 9Z, and
    potentially slightly higher in a few areas where convection is
    most persistent. The highest values are likely to occur south of
    the Interstate 10 corridor. There should be a gradual abatement
    towards 9Z as instability wanes and overall forcing weakens.

    Areas affected...South Florida

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

    Valid 171735Z - 172335Z

    SUMMARY...Showers and thunderstorms with heavy rainfall rates will
    develop and expand in coverage over the next several hours. A
    threat for some urban flash flooding will exist along the I-95
    corridor from West Palm Beach down through Homestead.

    DISCUSSION...The early afternoon GOES-E visible satellite imagery
    shows an increasingly agitated CU/TCU field across south Florida
    as daytime heating and a moisture-rich airmass pooled south of a
    cold front contributes to an increasingly unstable boundary layer.

    MLCAPE values are on the order of 1500 to 2500 J/kg, and this
    coupled with PWs approaching 2.25 inches as noted in the 12Z MFL
    RAOB sounding will promote an environment conducive for developing
    areas of convection capable of producing high rainfall rates. Very
    high WBZ heights (locally over 14,000 ft) and the depiction of a
    deeply tropical sounding will support highly efficient processes
    to elevate these rates.

    The catalyst for convection will come from the low-level forcing
    associated with the approach of a cold front from the north, and
    also proximity of a pre-frontal surface trough much closer to the
    I-95 corridor of southeast FL. Convective initiation is imminent
    along this surface trough as seen in visible satellite images and
    LightningCast data. Radar already shows some thunderstorms
    especially around Fort Lauderdale and near Miami that are
    beginning to produce some heavier rainfall rates in just the last
    30 minutes.

    Expect additional expansion of convection over the next several
    hours across south Florida as low-level convergence interacts with
    the increasing instability. Some mesoscale outflow boundary
    interactions will be possible as well in time.

    The latest hires HREF/REFS consensus suggests rainfall rates may
    reach as high as 2 to 3 inches/hour with the stronger storms, and
    with slow cell-motions, some spotty storm totals by this evening
    may reach 3 to 5 inches. Generally, this should support a concern
    for some urban flash flooding along the I-95 corridor from West
    Palm Beach on down through Homestead.

    Areas affected...Southeast Florida

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

    Valid 180335Z - 180700Z

    SUMMARY...Strong thunderstorms with very heavy rainfall rates
    developing over the coastal waters will affect coastal portions of
    South Florida through the early morning hours. A threat for some
    urban flash flooding will exist along the I-95 corridor from West
    Palm Beach southward to Homestead through 3 am local time.

    DISCUSSION...A complex of nearly stationary thunderstorms has
    developed between Fort Lauderdale and West Palm Beach with
    convergent low level flow near a cold front. Although most of the
    heaviest rainfall has been just 5-10 miles offshore, some of the
    heavier rainfall rates have begun to move inland near Deerfield
    Beach, with reports of 4 inch per hour rainfall rates from private
    observing stations. This will be enough to overwhelm drainage
    systems in the area, and could result in localized but impactful
    flash flooding through 3 am local time. Increasing coastal
    convergence may result in an expansion of this complex of storms
    and affect more of the neighboring towns.

    The latest CAM guidance is quite varied in placement of the
    greatest QPF maxima, with the RRFS likely underdone with amounts,
    and the HRRR more reasonable with placement of ongoing convection.
    The potential exists for 4-7 inches of rainfall where these storms
    persist the longest, especially over northeastern Broward and
    southeastern Palm Beach counties, and this could easily result in
    some instances of flash flooding.

    Areas affected...North-Central Arizona

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

    Valid 210713Z - 211300Z

    SUMMARY...Showers and thunderstorms are expected to increase in
    coverage and intensity over the next several hours across much of
    north-central Arizona. Some of the stronger storms may produce
    rainfall rates exceeding an inch per hour that could result in
    some instances of flash flooding through 13Z.

    DISCUSSION...Regional Doppler radars are indicating an increase in
    convection across central Arizona that is moving in a general NNE
    direction. The atmosphere is becoming more conducive for
    additional storms as PWs rise into the 1 to 1.5 inch range and
    mixed layer CAPE climbs into the 500-750 J/kg range based on
    recent SPC mesoanalysis. This will allow for increasing coverage
    and organization over the next few hours, along with rates
    approaching or slightly exceeding an inch per hour.

    Recent CAM guidance remains varied on the magnitude of QPF
    expected, with the ARW and the NAM conest indicating the potential
    for some swaths of 1 to 2 inch amounts, whereas the RRFS and HRRR
    are generally lower with expected amounts. If rates become heavy
    enough with multiple rounds of storms, some instances of flash
    flooding will be possible.

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

    Valid 211300Z - 211830Z

    SUMMARY...Favorable environment for back-building/repeating
    thunderstorms continues through diurnal minimum in instability.
    Additional streak or two of 1-1.5" totals crossing areas having
    received 1-2" continue to pose possible localized flash flooding
    concerns through morning.

    DISCUSSION...GOES-W WV suite shows anomalous closed low off the SW
    California Coast continues to slowly advance northeastward with
    increasing dPVA throughout the southwest while the area of concern
    downstream remains along the western edge of a confluent moist
    warm conveyor belt emanating from the subtropical Eastern Pacific.
    CIRA LPW/LVT suite along with RAP analysis notes that slightly
    veered surface to 850mb moist flow comes from the higher moisture
    from the shallow/warm Gulf of California northward concurrent with
    850-500mb layers coming more northward from a further south source
    in the main ocean area south of Baja California. Total PWats up
    to 1.5 through the SW Deserts of Arizona spread northward with
    1.2-1.3" spreading over the Mogollon Rim into the western San
    Francisco Plateau. Moderately unstable mid-levels support 1000
    J/kg of MUCAPE along the interface of the sharp western gradient
    of the moisture plume (and eastward) from the Colorado River
    eastward.

    Aloft, the sub-tropical jet axis slowly turns anticyclonically in
    proximity to Sun Valley into the southern SF Plateau providing a
    broad area of diffluence aloft within stronger overall flow.
    Effective bulk shear over 50kts due to speed and low level veering
    support organized low level convergence and eventually organized,
    rotating updraft potential. As such, the upwind edge across NW
    Maricopa into Yavapai county has seen flanking redevelopment
    through the morning with KIWA RADAR further hinting upstream
    weaker returns indicative of higher elevated TCu/castellaus that
    has not tapped lower level moisture convergence/instability but
    has the upper-level dynamics to support those updrafts. As such,
    expectation is further development through the morning even in the
    diurnal minimum of instability.

    Given the overall moisture/convergence especially if updrafts are
    rotating (like those currently in the vicinity of Flagstaff) may
    support 1-1.5"/hr rates. Deep layer stronger flow, cell motions
    are quick even with slightly slowing due to rotating updrafts,
    local duration will limit overall totals. As such, it is required
    for repeating tracks to result in localized 1-1.5" totals to
    support potential localized flash flooding concerns. However,
    given the placement of the upper-level support and slow change
    appear to be probable through the morning. Additionally, expected
    tracks may cross those that have received 1"+ localized totals
    already this morning further helping the possibility for isolated
    to widely scattered possible incident(s) of flash flooding.

    Areas affected...Southwestern California and the Channel
    Islands...

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

    Valid 211515Z - 212100Z

    SUMMARY...Increasing convective potential with isolated slow
    moving cells capable of 1-1.5"/hr. Localized 1-2" totals near
    urban or steep terrain may pose localized flash flooding concerns.

    DISCUSSION...GOES-W WV suite shows very strong, broad closed low
    centered near 35.5N126W with a series of peripheral
    shortwave/vorticity centers lifting along the eastern and northern
    quadrants with the latest lifting north along 121W north of 30N
    but in sufficent wake of the prior to support a broadening of the precipitation/stratus shield within the isentropic ascent portion
    of the WCB crossing the warm fornt that remains well southwest of
    the Channel Islands. Yet, CIRA LPW/LVT show a slug of enhanced
    sub-tropical moisture in the 700-500mb layer coincident with this
    diffluent shield supporting 75-100 kg/m/s moisture flux with
    trailing similar flux values in the 850-700mb layer approaching
    the Channel Island while the surface to 850mb remains in the warm
    sector along 120W with values of .75" for that layer with totals
    of 1.5". The shield of 1.25" has reached the SW California coast
    from SBA to W Ventura. As such, broad shield precipitation has
    started to filter into western Transverse Range with .25"-.33"/hr
    rates expected to maintain due to orographic ascent.

    Otherwise, the instability is the limiting factor at this point,
    however, this is expected to increase throughout the day as CAA
    aloft will overspread the approaching warm sector though the
    California Bight toward the Transverse counties. What is
    interesting, is slight temperature gradient noted off the LA/SD
    coasts shows about 5 degree temp, difference that modified
    soundings from the RAP is supporting a slight 500-750 J/kg of
    SBCAPE along the upwind edge of the warm conveyor belt. As a
    result a narrow band of convection has developed over E Santa
    Barbara county and numerous backyard observations are reaching
    .75-1" within the last 30 to 60 minutes. RADAR shows that the
    band is weakening with time as it moves ashore, but recent HRRR
    solutions suggest a southeastward expansion along the leading low
    level confluence/convergence band in the Bight that slowly shifts
    eastward toward Ventura county. Localized .5-1" totals in
    short-duration may pose a localized flash flooding/rapid
    inundation flooding concern for the coastal urban locations but
    overall most areas will see this as beneficial or preemptive
    toward later activity.

    The aforementioned vorticity center is strengthening the triple
    point currently near 33N121.5W and will drive further WAA
    northward through the channel islands, with the CAA
    aloft/steepening lapse rates instability is expected to rise
    toward 1000 J/kg (locally 1250 J/kg) and the strengthened low
    level response to the mid-level wave should focus further
    convergence for convection to develop in proximity to the fronts
    as they lift north. This will given an opportunity for slow moving/back-building but narrow convective cores to approach SW CA
    coast and western Channel Islands. Rates of 1-1.25"/hr are
    possible and localized 2" totals may be possible through 21z,
    particularly through the lower slopes of the Transverse range
    where orographic ascent will further contribute to prolonged
    moderate rainfall.

    Areas affected...Four Corner Region

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

    Valid 211815Z - 220000Z

    SUMMARY...Strong widely scattered thunderstorms within Warm
    Conveyor Belt will continue to be capable of quick .5" with
    possible repeating for isolated streaks of 1-1.5" totals.
    Isolated flash flooding remains possible through evening.

    DISCUSSION...GOES-E WV suite shows a dual core sub-tropical jet
    structure across the Desert Southwest as stronger 110kt polar jet
    presses eastward. This is providing large scale
    divergence/diffluence across much of the area of concern, though
    greatest magnitude resides over S UT/far N AZ as a bit of
    shortwave ridging from SE to NW from NM into S UT, results in
    increased right entrance region ascent; with braoder diffluent
    split in polar/sub-tropical jet remaining along the UT/NV line.
    This broad ascent continues to accelerate low level moisture flux
    out of the sub-tropical eastern Pacific with dual fetch noted in
    the lower layers of CIRA LPW out of the Gulf of California
    aligning with mid-level flow out of the SSW to reach 1.25-1.5"
    total PWat values across S AZ into the San Fransisco Plateau, at
    or above record moisture values and flux.

    While the strength of the mid-level flow is very strong with mean
    cell motions at 30-50kts, effective bulk shear around 65kts
    continues to support strong rotating updrafts that will help to
    slow forward motions for right moving updrafts, to aid some
    residency time for the stronger cores. Insolation has also
    increased through breaks in the clouds to increase instability
    across the area with 1000-1250 J/kg CAPEs starting to be analyzed
    with reducing CINH. As such, an increase in convective activity
    both in coverage and vigor has been noted in GOES-E Vis and
    cooling tops. Stronger rotating updrafts will also support
    increased directional and isallobaric influenced flux convergence
    to enhance rates to over 1.5"/hr allowing for quick .5" totals
    expected with faster cell motions. This alone could be an issue
    for flash flooding within the slot canyons and near burn scars.

    However, the key to wider/less localized flash flooding will
    remain with favored training/repeating tracks and this appears
    plasible given the current orientation of convergence/confluence
    streaks already noted parallel to the mean flow within the warm conveyor/upper-level cirrus canopy. As such, widely scattered to
    scattered incidents of 1-1.5" totals remain possible, perhaps
    intersecting areas affected by earlier rounds this morning. As
    such, flash flooding remains possible through the remainder of the
    afternoon into evening with slow eastward expansion of the
    streaks, while the upwind edge of the warm conveyor belt remains
    fairly stationary just east of the CA/AZ border and along the
    NV/UT line.

    Areas affected...Southwestern California

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

    Valid 212100Z - 220300Z

    SUMMARY...Locally heavy rainfall potential will continue across
    the Transverse Range and adjacent coastal areas of southwestern
    California over the next several hours. Rainfall rates between
    0.5-1"/hr are possible, allowing for isolated to widely scattered
    flash flood chances into the evening.

    DISCUSSION...Current upper level progression over the Pacific has
    allowed for prevailing onshore flow with a defined diffluent axis
    positioned right into the southern-third of California. PWATs
    remain above normal within the coastal plain and adjacent terrain
    encompassing the area with the most notable moisture advection
    oriented orthogonal to the terrain between Big Sur down to the
    northern half of the Transverse Range. Short range guidance
    continues to signal the prevailing flow into the terrain with
    up-slope enhancement just inland of the immediate coast leading to
    pockets of 0.5-1"/hr rainfall rates plausible in the setup.
    Currently seeing rates topping out just under the 0.5"/hr
    threshold, however, the best ascent is currently located just off
    the coast with a stronger mid-level perturbation pivoting just
    away from the southern California coastal plain. This trend will
    slowly shift eastward as the upper level progression allows for a
    better push of the mid-level energy into the area after 00z. This
    is consistent within the short range suite and associated
    ensembles leading to a more defined heavy rain depiction as we
    move into the evening and beyond.

    Recent HREF probs for >1" remain modest (40-60%) across areas from
    Orange county, northward through Los Angeles, however, a general
    max between 60-90% does exist over the northern area of the
    Transverse Range centered near and northwest of Santa Barbara.
    This is the area most likely to see totals between 1-2", locally
    higher over the next 6 hours with areas south the beneficiaries of
    the heavier rainfall later in the evening. Considering the signal
    in place, flash flooding will remain possible along the coastal
    ranges of Southern California with the inland topography and
    coastal facing slopes the most notable areas for the risk,
    especially within any burn scar remnants within the terrain.

    Areas affected...Much of Arizona, Southern Utah, and the Four
    Corners

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

    Valid 212358Z - 220558Z

    SUMMARY...Heavy rainfall potential will continue across portions
    of the Southwest U.S over the next several hours. Rainfall rates
    between 0.5-1"/hr, locally higher, are possible, allowing for
    scattered flash flood chances into the evening.

    DISCUSSION...The general synoptic pattern remains favorable for a
    continued threat of heavy rainfall into the Southwest CONUS with
    an emphasis on areas of northern AZ, southern UT to the Four
    Corners. Prevailing southerly flow on the leading edge of a deep,
    closed upper low off the California coast will allow for a broad
    axis of elevated moisture advection and sufficient shear to
    maintain a steady projection of convective development over the
    region. Several waves of thunderstorm activity have allowed for
    multiple areas to breach 1" of rainfall over the course of the
    period with several locations pushing closer to 2" in assessment
    of the latest obs across northern AZ into southern UT. Expectation
    is for the threat to continue this evening with a viable consensus
    in the CAMs for the threat to last even into the early morning
    hours.

    Latest HRRR/RRFS outputs signal locally heavy precip potential
    over northern and northeast AZ into southern UT, extending into
    the Four Corners as flow between 850-700mb backs into the terrain
    centered over this region. With sufficient buoyancy on the order
    of 500-1000 MLCAPE situated over the area, along with regional
    bulk shear between 40-60kts, organized convective clusters and
    long lasting mesocyclonic activity will be a feature within this
    setup leading to prolonged threats of heavy rain at any given
    juncture. HREF probabilities for >1" additional precipitation
    overnight remain very elevated at 60-90% for much of northern AZ
    into southern UT, overlapping more flash flood prone areas
    littered across this particular region. This was more than enough
    of a depiction, along with the current thermodynamic and kinematic
    posture to outline a continued threat for flash flooding heading
    into the evening.

    Areas affected...Southwest California

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

    Valid 220254Z - 220854Z

    Summary...Slow moving upper low off the California coast will
    continue to usher in Pacific moisture with an upslope enhancement
    into the coastal terrain of Southern California. Rainfall rates
    upwards of 0.5-1"/hr are expected leading to isolated to widely
    scattered bouts of flash flooding over the Transverse Range.

    Discussion...Recent WV satellite indicates our upper level
    disturbance slowly pivoting southeast with a strong low-level
    moisture flux beginning to enter into the immediate California
    coast to the northwest of Santa Barbara. This is likely the
    encroachment of the warm front analyzed off the Southern
    California coast which will drive eastward over the course of the
    evening leading to a short term enhancement of the precip within
    proximity of the front as it migrates along the coast. 925-700mb
    flow is currently orthogonal to the coast and coastal terrain just
    inland leading a likelihood of effective upslope enhancement along
    the southern facing slopes of the Transverse Range situated north
    of the coastal regions from just northwest of Santa Barbara,
    eventually working into the San Bernardino mountains to the east
    of Los Angeles. Current hi-res depictions indicate a period of
    heavy rainfall within the terrain influenced regions with QPF
    distributions between 1-2" additional rainfall anticipated for
    these areas just inland.

    Remnant burn scars and complex terrain drainage will likely be the
    more focused areas for flash flooding potential this evening into
    the overnight period. The forward propagation speed of the front
    will be the driving force behind how prevalent the flash flooding
    threat will be within the coastal terrain which models are leaning
    towards a short term burst, rather than persistent banding that
    typically coincides with more appreciable impacts. In this case,
    the forecast is for possible flash flooding with an emphasis on
    those more sensitive areas in the terrain.

    Areas affected...AZ into southern UT

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

    Valid 220927Z - 221527Z

    Summary...Convection streaming northward across central/northern
    Arizona into southern Utah will pose an isolated to scattered
    flash flood threat through 15Z. While quick cell motions have
    generally kept hourly totals under 0.5 inches, high short duration
    rates over increasingly saturated ground will drive runoff
    concerns, with the potential for linear training bands to produce
    locally significant impacts in sensitive terrain.

    Discussion...A broad plume of deep tropical moisture is streaming
    northward across the Southwest ahead of a mid/upper level low
    tracking into California. This moisture advection has pushed PW
    values to near or at record levels for mid to late October across
    a wide corridor. Despite being near the typical diurnal minimum in
    instability, thermodynamic profiles remain unusually buoyant, with
    CAPE exceeding 1000 J/kg across portions of Arizona and hovering
    near 500 J/kg into southern Utah.

    Convective activity across Arizona is expected to persist and
    gradually increase in coverage and intensity through the early
    morning hours. This will be driven by strengthening large scale
    forcing for ascent from the west as the upper low approaches,
    combined with the eastward progression of the low level moisture
    transport axis into central Arizona. Convective elements
    developing within this corridor will continue to stream rapidly
    north northeastward into southern Utah.

    To this point, fast storm motions to the north-northeast have
    largely kept hourly rainfall totals in check, generally below 0.5
    inches. However, short duration rainfall rates remain quite high
    within the convective cores. Furthermore, antecedent rainfall over
    the past 24 hours has left conditions increasingly saturated and
    hydrologically sensitive across the region. Consequently, even
    quick moving cells will be capable of generating localized flash
    flood concerns. As convective coverage expands and instability
    gradually ticks upward this morning, cumulative rainfall totals
    will steadily mount over Arizona and southern Utah.

    The deep unidirectional southerly flow supports localized training
    and backbuilding, particularly across central Arizona at the nose
    of the low level moisture transport axis and along the sharpest
    instability gradient. Several recent HRRR/RRFS runs have indicated
    this potential, highlighting a corridor between Phoenix and
    Flagstaff favored for training convection capable of producing
    rates exceeding 1"/hr. Even in southern UT where hourly rates
    remain under 1 inch, recent HRRR runs depict some FFG exceedance
    developing by 10-12Z, with spatial coverage expanding through mid
    morning. While the FFG exceedance footprint is somewhat delayed
    across Arizona, HRRR TLE exceedance probabilities climb by 12Z as
    linear training bands may begin to organize.

    Overall, at least isolated to scattered flash flooding is
    considered likely through 15Z. Given the broader synoptic
    evolution and diurnal heating, this threat will likely continue
    beyond 15Z and may ultimately peak later in the day. Locally
    significant flash flood impacts are possible, especially across
    complex terrain, slot canyons, and sensitive drainage basins.

    Areas affected...Coastal Southern California...

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

    Valid 221315Z - 221900Z

    SUMMARY...Shallow, narrow updrafts capable of efficient rainfall
    production and rates up to 1"/hr may pose scattered focused flash
    flooding concerns due to recent soil saturation and within urban
    centers.

    DISCUSSION...GOES-W WV suite denotes core of the seasonally
    anomalous deep upper-low just west-southwest of Cape Conception
    but appears to be transferring energy/center toward dominant
    shortwave rounding the southern base of the low into the
    California Bight. This is helping to steepen the older surface to
    mid-level occlusion along the northwest edge of the deep cyclone
    as it starts to slide southeastward, providing some increased
    convergence along it, though also helping to tighten the gradient
    to enhance southerly onshore flow along Santa Barbara, Ventura
    counties.

    Steeper lapse rates aloft/CAA and modestly warm lower layers
    support increased SBCAPEs toward 1000 J/kg through the
    southeast/WAA quadrant of the the larger system. Onshore increase
    of winds to 10-15kts noted in VWP gain the frictional convergence
    of the coast and further orographic ascent from the southern
    slopes of the Transverse Ranges resulting in scattered convergence
    sufficient for convective development. Regional RADAR and 3.9um
    SWIR loop from GOES-W denote this well, with narrow updraft,
    shallow CB development in the last few hours along the coast.
    CIRA LPW shows modest remaining .3 and .5" LPW values for the
    lowest layers (sfc-850, 850-700mb) for modest rainfall efficiency
    perhaps supporting rates up to 1", though the broadness of the
    updraft will be the greater determining factor for greatest rate
    potential.

    Residency time will be the driver for the greatest totals, . Given
    the slow transfer of energy/center of the deep cyclone; eastward
    propagation will be very slow and given consistent convergence
    location on the cells upwind flank, back-building/regeneration of
    updrafts will likely result in those 30-60 minute time frames and
    result in the totals of 1-1.5" range though widely
    scattered/focused locally due to the spacing/size of those updraft
    cores. There is some potential given the orientation of the coast
    line that a slow drift from the east will move through areas
    affected by prior smaller cores especially across Ventura into Los
    Angeles county with time.

    Isolated flash flooding may be possible given recent moderate to
    heavy rainfall yesterday (1-2+" totals) and urban areas generally
    limiting infiltration of these higher rates. MRMS Flash unit
    stream flows are already locally over 200-300 cfs/smi, providing
    further confidence that higher values will be reached over the
    next few hours locally.

    & E Arizona...

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

    Valid 221520Z - 222100Z

    SUMMARY...Wide-spread incidents of localized flash flooding remain
    likely as increasing moisture/heating will support additional
    convective development in bands capable of sub hourly .5-1" totals
    and with repeating resulting in spots up to 2".

    DISCUSSION...GOES-W WV suite shows inner core of the 3.5 standard
    anomaly low is starting a solid eastward shift over the last few
    hours resulting in eastward height-falls in the Lower Colorado
    River Valley and eastward shift of the strong 100kt 3H jet core
    out of S NV/SE CA and combined with the final exit of the
    sub-tropical jet core across N UT/NW CO continues to support a
    broad area of diffluence/divergence across the Four Corners area,
    though helping to spur eastward advancement of the tight 850-700mb
    moisture core into west-central AZ toward the AZ/NM line by 00z
    tonight; with veering flow further enhancing directional
    convergence in the low levels over the next few hours. CIRA LVT
    continue to show due confluence in the 850-700mb layer over S AZ
    while peaking across the 700-500mb layer through central AZ into S
    UT with values still remaining over 125-150 kg/m/s) aiding to
    efficient rainfall production when there are convective elements.
    However, this flux into steeper terrain (especially the San Juan
    Mtns in SW CO) will provide prolonged moderate rainfall due to
    orographic ascent (Atmospheric River style rainfall/flooding
    concerns).

    However, increasing solar heating through broken layers
    (especially west of the current convective core/shield in NE AZ/NW
    NM) will increase instability from 500 J/kg (S UT/N AZ) and
    isolated 1500 J/kg (south-central AZ), reaching 1000 to over 2000
    J/kg by 18-20z. This will allow for scattered thunderstorm
    development along the north-south confluence/convergence bands
    noted well in the GOES WV and IR/Visible animation. Currently,
    isolated cooling tops can be seen within the diffluence arc from
    SW UT across N central AZ toward central AZ Valley...eventually
    will reach similar mature appearance as active convection along
    the leading edge of the deep moisture/instability currently from N
    Graham, AZ county to SW McKinley county. Bulk shear remains well
    above normal with broad 40+ kts across the entire area, suggesting
    better organized rotating updrafts are probable further increasing
    localized moisture flux and rainfall production efficiency.
    Localized rates in excess of 1.5"/hr are possible but like prior
    days, cell motions will be quicker and residency will be limited
    to a sub-hourly periods but a quick .5-1" still could pose
    localized flash flooding concerns given recent tracks of heavy
    rainfall (broad 1-2+") totals over the prior days.

    While eastward propagation of the south to north bands of
    thunderstorms will be quicker than prior days; some repeating is
    possible and spots up to 2" by 00z may be expected. These widely
    scattered incidents obviously will pose the greatest potential for
    flash flooding conditions. The overall coverage of thunderstorms
    will be great enough to have above average confidence in likely
    incidents of flash flooding through this afternoon, though
    incidents are equally likely to widely spread throughout the area
    of concern and locally focused in nature. Impacts in slot canyons,
    burn scars and urban settings would be greatest.

    354 PM EDT Thu Oct 22 2026

    Areas affected...Eastern Arizona..Northwest New Mexico...Southern Colorado...Far Southeast Utah...

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

    Valid 222000Z - 230200Z

    SUMMARY...Favorable southwesterly flow regime with sub-tropical
    moisture supporting the development of multiple south to north
    convective lines this evening. Slow eastward propagation and
    potential overlap/repeating near the AZ/NM line may support spots
    of 2"+ totals though each cell may be capable of quick .5-1"
    sub-hourly total resulting in broad area of potential localized
    flash flooding incidents.

    DISCUSSION...Regional RADAR and GOES-E Visible imagery shows an
    increasingly solid multi-celluar convective complex with some
    developing bowing segments from NE Rio Arriba to E McKiney to the
    NE Catron/Central Cibola county line with a few developing TCu
    through the Mogollon Mountains in western NM. Stronger
    southeasterly flow along the flanking portion of the line at
    10-15ks is advecting moderate mid-50s Tds and steadily increasing
    unstable air as temperature start to rise to the low 80s
    supporting increasing SBCAPEs in the 2000+ J/kg range along the
    flanking line slowly reducing toward 500-1000 J/kg along the
    central CO/NM line. This will support moisture flux convergence
    with forward propagation may limit residency to support sub-hourly
    .5-1" totals. This may result in localized flash flooding for the
    most prone locations, but at best will saturate the upper soil
    profile for later convective activity.

    Upstream in the wake of the prior line, sub-tropical moisture axis
    has shifted eastward into the eastern third of AZ with a solid
    wind shift noted from surface across the Sun Valley toward Tuscon
    Metro area further increasing moisture flux convergence with the
    secondary band. Instability axis is also starting to align with
    the q-axis with MLCAPEs reaching 2000 J/kg in SE AZ slowly
    reducing to 1000 J/kg further north into the San Francisco and
    Colorado Plateaus of E AZ. Total Pwats of 1.0 to 1.4" (in lower
    terrain) remain in the 99th percentile and about 4 standard
    anomalies from normal. Combined with the very strong divergence
    aloft on the eastern side of the 90-100kt 3H jet allows for strong
    convective response over the next few hours. This has begun
    across north-central AZ toward the Mogollon Rim with a slowly
    filling convective line; while convective initiation is starting
    to occur across E Gila/Pinal counties starting to reach NW Graham
    county.

    Given thermodynamic and even dynamic parameters in place, this
    should support strong instantaneous rates in excess of 2"/hr.
    However, like most convection this week, cell motions will likely
    be greater than 30-40kts, limiting residency and resulting in
    sub-hourly totals of 0.5-1". Cell motions from south to north
    generally parallel to the convective line may still may allow for
    some short-term repeating/training given cell motion is more
    though eastward propagation due to approaching height-falls,
    should limit this to an hour or so. As such, a spot or two of 2"
    remains plausible. Additionally, this second line may eventually
    overlap with areas already having 1" from the prior line this
    afternoon as the second line approaches the AZ/NM line. As such,
    incidents of flash flooding are likely, though will be more widely
    scattered within the overall MPD area of concern.

    Areas affected...Eastern Nevada, Northwest Arizona, and Southwest
    Utah

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

    Valid 222117Z - 230317Z

    Summary...Continued threat of heavy rainfall across northwest
    Azizona into southwest Utah and southeastern Nevada as scattered
    thunderstorms move over the area from the south. Rainfall rates
    between 0.5-1"/hr are plausible leading to potential isolated to
    widely scattered instances of flash flooding.

    Discussion...The threat across the canyon areas of UT and AZ will
    continue for at least another 4-6 hours before we finally start
    scaling back on the potential with the upper level evolution to
    the west finally pushing the deep moisture advection regime
    further downstream. The current radar/sat composite indicate
    another round of convective development within the terrain focused
    across northwest AZ, sliding north into southwestern UT within the
    mean southerly flow situated on the eastern periphery of the upper
    level circulation. Mid-level heights continue to prog a broad
    diffluent axis right over the northern half of AZ into the Four
    Corners with the western periphery of the deep layer moisture and
    jet dynamics still situated over the sensitive canyon regions in
    each state. This area has already seen a plethora of rainfall and
    subsequent flash flood warnings the past 24-36 hours, so antcedent
    conditions remain favorable for flood prospects through the early
    evening time frame.

    Latest HRRR/RRFS combo indicate this being the last prominent
    convective burst in the setup with ongoing rainfall producing
    rates upwards of 0.5-0.75"/hr in the strongest cells as given by
    radar estimates. This correlates to the potential for at least
    isolated to widely scattered flash flood prospects, especially in
    those slot canyon areas focused around Zion and Bryce Canyon
    National Parks. Expectation is for additional rainfall of up to
    1", locally higher with the final convective burst leading to
    multi-day totals eclipsing 2" for many across the canyon areas
    in-of NV/AZ.

    922 PM EDT Thu Oct 22 2026

    Areas affected...Eastern AZ...Southern CO...Western and Central NM

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

    Valid 230122Z - 230715Z

    SUMMARY...Bands of locally well-organized showers and
    thunderstorms will continue into the overnight hours across
    portions of eastern AZ, southern CO and through western and
    central NM. Additional areas of flash flooding are likely, and
    locally significant impacts will be possible.

    DISCUSSION...The latest GOES-W IR satellite imagery shows a
    vigorous deep layer trough and associated closed low continuing to
    pivot gradually across the Southwest U.S. This energy continues to
    support bands of heavy showers and thunderstorms across areas of
    eastern AZ, southern CO and the western third of NM as deep layer ascent/forcing associated with DPVA interacts with a corridor of
    strong low to mid-level moisture convergence/transport and a nose
    of modest instability.

    Strong deep layer southerly flow is fostering 850/700 mb moisture
    flux anomalies out ahead of a frontal zone of 3 to 5 standard
    deviations above normal. MUCAPE values are on the order of 500 to
    1000 J/kg, and with the enhanced forcing aloft, there will likely
    continue to be bands of rather well-organized convection and
    especially with as much as 30 to 50 kts of effective bulk shear
    fostering organized convective structures.

    Some of the coldest cloud tops are over northwest NM right now
    with radar confirming multiple organized bands of convection with
    some occasional cell-training concerns. Rainfall rates with the
    activity are locally as high as 1 to 2 inches/hour, and with the
    cell-training concerns and potential for orographic enhancement
    over areas of higher terrain, some additional rainfall amounts
    over the next several hours may reach as high as 2 to 3+ inches.

    This is consistent with the multi-model hires consensus, and these
    rains are likely to foster additional areas of flash flooding.
    Some locally significant impacts will be possible, and especially
    near any burn scar locations, and within any slot/box canyons and
    near the normally dry washes.

    Areas affected...Northern AZ...Central and Southern UT...Southwest
    CO

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

    Valid 230153Z - 230745Z

    SUMMARY...Scattered showers and thunderstorms may foster some
    additional flash flooding concerns tonight.

    DISCUSSION...The latest GOES-W WV suite shows a strong upper
    trough/closed low over the Southwest U.S. gradually advancing
    eastward. Satellite imagery shows the energy taking on a negative
    tilt, and this enhanced forcing/divergence aloft associated with
    the height falls along with steepening mid-level lapse rates will
    continue to favor additional areas of scattered showers and
    thunderstorms going through the overnight hours.

    MUCAPE values are locally still over 500 J/kg, and there are still
    some areas of favorable low to mid-level moisture convergence
    which coupled with orographic ascent over the higher terrain
    should support the convective threat lingering along with locally
    heavy rainfall rates.

    The latest radar shows some of the stronger and more organized
    cells over areas of far northern AZ and into southern UT. Drier
    mid-level air arriving across the region will tend to mitigate the
    rainfall rates a bit, but some rainfall rates with the stronger
    storms may still reach as high as 1 to 1.5 inches/hour.

    Localized cell-training will remain possible, and this may yield
    some additional storm totals of up to 2 inches. This may result in
    areas of additional flash flooding, with the slot-canyon regions
    and burn scar locations most susceptible to seeing these potential
    flash flooding impacts. Some of the normally dry washes may also
    see potential for runoff concerns.

    Areas affected...much of New Mexico, southern Colorado, and far
    west Texas

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

    Valid 231931Z - 240131Z

    Summary...Scattered showers and thunderstorms are migrating
    quickly through the discussion area while producing areas of
    0.2-0.4 inch/hr rain rates on a spotty basis. The coverage of
    heavy rainfall should increase over sensitive ground conditions
    through the afternoon, posing a flood/flash flood risk.

    Discussion...Scattered convection was gradually increasing amid a warm-advection axis from southwestern NM into south-central CO
    recently. The convection was embedded in appreciable mean flow,
    resulting in 30-40 kt cell motions amid an environment
    characterized by 0.5-1 inch PW and 1500 J/kg SBCAPE.
    MRMS-estimated rain rates of 0.2-0.4 inch/hr were noted across
    north-central NM. While these rates are relatively modest, areas
    that are already experiencing impactful flooding in NM could
    experience another quick 0.5 inch of rain in the short term. This
    rainfall could exacerbate ongoing flood conditions.

    Over time, continued surface heating and the approach of a
    mid-level shortwave trough near the CA/AZ border region will
    provide additional ascent/instability for more showers and
    thunderstorms to form. The cells may repeat or locally train in a
    few areas, resulting in additional rainfall totals of 0.5 inch or
    more occurring in locally sensitive areas and burn scars.
    High-resolution guidance is in agreement that this scenario will
    persist for several hours - perhaps beyond 01Z/7p mountain time.
    Isolated instances of flash flooding are possible during this
    timeframe.

    Areas affected...Far Southern CO...Much of NM and Far Western TX

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

    Valid 240047Z - 240645Z

    SUMMARY...Increasing coverage of showers and thunderstorms with
    locally high rainfall rates are expected to result in areas of
    flash flooding going into the evening hours.

    DISCUSSION...The latest GOES-W IR satellite imagery shows
    expanding and cooling convective tops across sizable areas of
    central through southern NM and down into far western TX. The
    activity continues to organize out ahead of a slow-moving frontal
    zone and and a large deep layer trough that is only gradually
    ejecting eastward across the Western U.S.

    Modest ejecting shortwave energy lifting out of the base of the
    upper trough will cross through central and southern NM over the
    next few hours while interacting with the nose of moderate
    instability characterized by MUCAPE values of 1000 to 1500 J/kg.
    This coupled with pockets of relatively strong low-level moisture
    convergence and stronger kinematics aloft with as much as 30 to
    40+ kts of effective bulk shear should tend to favor areas of
    convective organization continuing through the evening hours.

    PWs across the region are running as high as 1.5 to 2 standard
    deviations above normal, and this combined with the instability
    and cell-organization should tend to yield heavy rainfall rates
    capable of reaching 1 to 2 inches/hour with the stronger
    convective cores.

    Some additional pockets of 2 to 2.5 inches of rain will be
    possible where any brief cell-training occurs, and also near areas
    of higher terrain. Some of the latest hires model CAMs target the
    Sacramento Mountains over the next couple of hours with some of
    these heavier totals. These rains in general across the region are
    likely to foster areas of flash flooding through this evening, and
    some of the more sensitive burn scar locations will be at
    particular risk for flash flooding and debris flow activity. The
    normally dry washes will also see an elevated risk for runoff
    concerns as these relatively organized bands of heavy showers and
    thunderstorms cross the region.

    Areas affected...portions of New Mexico/Colorado

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

    Valid 241422Z - 242022Z

    Summary...Scattered showers and thunderstorms capable of a quick
    0.5 inch of rain could exacerbate ongoing flooding issues across
    New Mexico through 2030Z/230p Mountain Daylight Time.

    Discussion...Scattered convection was deepening/expanding in
    coverage primarily across west-central portions of NM in the past
    hour or so. The convection is being aided by ascent from an upper
    low over the Lower CO River Valley along with steep mid-level
    lapse rates (~7.5C/km). While storm motions are relatively quick
    (around 30-40 knots), the orientation of convection, mid-level
    instability, and 0.5-0.6 inch PW values are all favoring local
    training and local rain rates of 0.5 inch/hr at times especially
    across Cibola County.

    With time, increasing insolation/destabilization will allow for
    convection to expand in coverage, with additional areas of locally
    heavy rainfall impacting sensitive ground conditions across the
    state that are already experiencing significant flooding from
    prior rainfall. Even a quick 0.5-1 inch of rainfall could worsen
    ongoing impacts or create new instances of flash flooding. These
    conditions are likely to continue through 2030Z this afternoon as
    synoptic forcing favoring convective development will change very
    little today.

    Mesoscale Precipitation Discussion 1521
    NWS Weather Prediction Center College Park MD
    430 PM EDT Sat Oct 24 2026

    Areas affected...portions of New Mexico, southern Colorado, and
    far west Texas

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

    Valid 242029Z - 250229Z

    Summary...Flash flood potential will continue across the
    discussion area through at least 02Z/8p Mountain Daylight Time.

    Discussion...Flash flood potential continues across the discussion
    area -- especially from west-central NM into southern/southwestern
    CO. Recent radar mosaic imagery depicts scattered convection that
    has organized into a couple of bands of training convection
    especially across Cibola County and vicinity, with other scattered
    cells moving quickly north at 30-40 knots. The cells remain in an
    unstable environment, with cool air aloft atop warming surface
    conditions contributing to approx. 1000 J/kg MLCAPE amid 0.5-0.6
    inch PW, supporting locally heavy rainfall. Spots of rain rates
    exceeding 0.5 inch/hr have been estimated per MRMS, and these
    rates will continue to occur across areas that have been
    excessively wet the past few days, with significant ongoing
    riverine flooding in a few areas. Flood/flash flood potential
    will continue for several more hours in these areas (through at
    least 02Z).

    Farther south and east, surface warming/destabilization has
    enabled convection to develop and persist across central New
    Mexico (northeast of ABQ), while additional towering cumulus has
    been noted on visible satellite south of EPZ. Deep southerly flow
    aloft will enable the convection to migrate northward, while
    ascent associated with the upper low over Arizona and a subtle
    upslope component to low-level flow across the NM Plains will
    enable a gradually increase in convective coverage in these areas
    through the remainder of the afternoon. Areas of 1 inch/hr rain
    rates are expected especially near training cells. Flash flood
    potential will increase in these areas (central/eastern NM
    southward through far west Texas) through the afternoon and early
    evening.

    Mesoscale Precipitation Discussion 1522

    Areas affected...Much of NM...Far Western TX

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

    Valid 250225Z - 250825Z

    SUMMARY...Bands of heavy showers and thunderstorms will continue
    into the overnight hours. Additional areas of flash flooding will
    continue to be possible, and especially around the more sensitive
    burn scar and dry wash locations.

    DISCUSSION...GOES-W WV satellite imagery shows a deep layer upper
    trough and associated closed low over the broader Southwest U.S.
    continuing to very slowly move off to the east. Stronger dynamics aloft/divergent flow ahead of these height falls interacting with
    a channel of moist/unstable air lifting north across the southern
    High Plains and into the southern Rockies will continue to
    facilitate bands of heavy showers and thunderstorms going into the
    overnight hours.

    MUCAPE values this evening remain elevated ahead of a
    quasi-stationary front with values across central/southern NM and
    far western TX as high as high 1000 to 1500 J/kg. This instability
    combined with rather strong low-level moisture convergence and
    deeper layer shear should favor some persistence of relatively
    well-organized bands of heavy showers and thunderstorms.

    Rainfall rates with the more organized convective cells will still
    continue to be capable of reaching 1 to 2 inches/hour. Locally
    slow cell-motions and some periodic cases of cell-training may
    still foster some additional rainfall totals of 2 to 2.5 inches.
    This is consistent with the latest multi-model hires CAM consensus.

    These additional rains may foster some additional areas of flash
    flooding over the next several hours. The greatest potential for
    impacts will continue to be across the more sensitive burn scar
    locations and around the normally dry washes, but in some cases
    the streamflows are already elevated, so the additional rains will
    only encourage a persistence of some ongoing runoff problems.

    Mesoscale Precipitation Discussion 1523
    NWS Weather Prediction Center College Park MD
    359 PM EDT Sun Oct 25 2026

    Areas affected...portions of New Mexico and far west Texas

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

    Valid 251958Z - 260158Z

    Summary...Instances of flash flooding are possible through at
    least 02Z/8p Mountain Daylight Time.

    Discussion...Over the past half hour or so, convection has shown
    an uptick in coverage and organization across central New Mexico.
    The uptick was related to 1) surface-based destabilization due to
    surface heating (around 1000 J/kg SBCAPE) and 2) ascent tied to a
    mid-level shortwave trough entering western NM. Deep
    south-southwesterly flow was oriented parallel to developing
    convection, allowing for local training/repeating. Meanwhile,
    cells just west of ABQ (Cibola/Bernadillo/Valencia Counties) were
    moving across sensitive locales from recent excessive rainfall and
    riverine flooding. A quick 0.5 inch of rainfall could exacerbate
    any ongoing flooding concerns and prompt new flash flooding at
    times as showers/storms drift northward through 02Z/8p.

    Farther east (east of I-25), better availability of moisture
    (0.5-1 inch PW values) support higher rain rates near training
    convection. These rates could briefly approach local FFG
    thresholds (around 0.75-1 inch/hr) and prompt flash flooding on an
    isolated to scattered basis.

    The overall regime supporting the aforementioned convective/flash
    flood scenario will persist for several hours this afternoon as
    low-level instability is maintained due to widespread areas of
    sunshine. Additional training convection (and local 1 inch/hr
    rain rates) are expected as far south as the TransPecos region and
    far west Texas through 02Z this evening.
