OK...Northwest AR...
Concerning...Heavy rainfall...Flash flooding possible
Valid 131130Z - 131700Z
SUMMARY...Decaying MCS with a few more hours of WAA training along
the northern side of strengthening bow echo allowing for 2-4"
totals and possible flash flooding. Very intense short-term rates
with 1-2" in 15-30 minutes with the bow may be a flooding concern
in prone or urban settings.
DISCUSSION...Regional RADAR mosaic depicts a well defined
MCV/parent shortwave that has become well displaced in the
decaying shield precipitation WNW of the strengthening effective
triple point/new MCV near Marion/Chase county, KS. A impressive
bowing segment is surging ESE into SE KS, with a broadening
upstream edge across south-central KS within the MCS anti-cyclonic
rotor. While strong moisture flux convergence will quickly turn
with very short-duration resulting in 1-2" of rainfall in 15-30
minutes likely only resulting in flooding in traditionally prone
or urban settings.=20
Of greater potential for flash flooding are within the bookends of
the MCS; the upwind southern anti-cyclonic rotor is starting to
have broadening convective elements being more exposed to the
southwesterly LLJ and expanding moisture convergence orthogonal to
the mean motions as the MCS enters a bit more NW to SE motions in
the 500-1000 thickness pattern (directing toward SW MO/NE OK). VWP
shows increasingly unidirectional inflow still at 25-35kts from
925-700mb advecting an axis of enhanced conditionally unstable air
with MUCAPE of 1500-2000 J/kg across north-central OK. This may
result in an area of enhanced 2-3" totals into the southern Flint
Hills and perhaps northern Osage county.
The other location remains with the stronger WAA along/ahead of
the MCV on the cyclonic rotor; here, strengthened flow and
directional convergence results in the greatest moisture flux to
the system and should support 2-2.5"/hr rates particularly near
the transferred MCV. However, recent trends show a shortening of
the downstream convergence and convective development. There may
be two factors involved, the first: utilizing EAX VWP, downstream
winds are weaker at less than 10kts with even some lesser than
desirable southerly component. The second is related to a reduced
instability pool downstream into MO. RAP analysis suggests values
of 500-1000 J/kg exist, but strengthening CINH fields in
combination with weakening isentropic ascent on the effective warm
front may reduce the length of the WAA wing and therefore
training/repeating potential as the wave passes. Still, the risk
of 2-4" totals in 2-3hrs will continue to pose a flash flooding
risk as the MCS slowly decays through the remainder of the
morning.=20=20=20
