Areas affected...Much of northern & Central TX...Northwest
LA...Southwest AR...
Concerning...Heavy rainfall...Flash flooding likely
Valid 090450Z - 091030Z
SUMMARY...Very large, progressive MCS. Greater duration of
intense rain-rates along the warm advective wing on the northeast
side as well as along the flanking line due to repeating pose best
potential for 2-3" totals much in very short-duration.
DISCUSSION...GOES-E WV suite shows a large dual clustered MCS
across the Central Red River Valley back into the Rolling
Plains/Big Country of Texas within a highly diffluent portion of
the mid to upper-level flow at the base of a broad, strong
synoptic low. This divergent pattern combined with a very
moist/unstable environment has supported a strong MCV located at
the northeast side of the complex in SE OK, quickly shifting
east-southeast. Given the secondary explosive convective
development a secondary weaker MCV can be seen further southwest
near KMWL with a strong/broad bowing segement connecting the two
features as an effective cold front ahead of the northern strong
1013mb meso-high. Further upstream, left exit dynamics and
southerly inflow from the Pecos river valley shows a third
cluster/linear convective complex acting as a caboose to the
overall complex, sweeping through with another strong burst of
intense rainfall rates (though equally progressive given the
downward mixing of strong flow aloft).
Overall the deep layer flow with the diffluence as supported a
very progressive southeastward propagation that is starting to
limit overall duration of the most intense rain-rates. CIRA LPW
and overall Total PWAT animation shows the complex is propagating
into slightly drier overall environment through depth, though it
continues to currently ingest 2-2.25" total PWats allowing for
efficient rates over 2-3"/hr...yet, the quickness is generally
limiting the initial burst to about 1-1.5" in 15-30 minutes, with
broad moderate shield precip adding an additional .5-1" through
the main line. However, southerly inflow on broad 20-25kt LLJ is
advecting this drier and lower theta-E air, so rates should
continue to diminish with greater dry air and forward propagation
expected, reducing the overall flash flooding potential,
especially as the convection moves off into the Heart of Texas and
into NW LA where FFG values are over 2-2.5"/hr, making FF risk
limited to urban areas.
With that stated, there will remain two axes of increased rainfall
duration: 1) Precursory to the squall line WAA downshear of the
MCV center across NE TX into far NW LA/SW AR increasing overall
duration and training. Expected totals of 2-3" are probable with
an isolated spot of 4" possible. MCV may also slow and rotate
northeastward further increasing duration of this training axis.=20
2) The other is along the flanking line of the overall complex
that is favorably oriented from WNW to ESE fairly parallel to the
deep layer steering of the MCS. In addition, south to
south-southwesterly isentropic ascent may help for additional
development along the outflow boundary...though with lower
unstable and moisture environment, extending the duration of
thunderstorm activity and repeat/training will have the greatest
potential for those 2-3" totals and continue scattered ongoing
flooding in the southern Big Country into northeast Hill country
as the trailing 'caboose' linear complex slides through out of the
southern Rolling Plains.
So all in all, the coverage of flash flooding will be reducing
with a few axes of enhanced risk and given the ongoing flash
flooding with upstream rainfall likely...flash flooding will
remain likely through 10z, but reducing becoming more widely
scattered in nature eventually becoming only an urban concern
further south and east.=20
