...THERE IS A MODERATE RISK FOR EXCESSIVE RAINFALL OVER THE
CENTRAL GULF COAST AND A MARGINAL RISK FOR EASTERN PORTIONS OF THE
OHIO VALLEY...
...Ohio, West Virginia and Pennsylvania...
Convection is expected to continue for this area. With the day 1
QPF over this region, FFG is expected to lower creating more
concerns for flooding potential. Latest QPF for this period shows
an additional 1 to 2 inches of precipitation falling on already
saturated grounds. The Marginal Risk area was left in play and
adjusted a bit to account for latest QPF guidance.
...Louisiana to Georgia...
Potential Tropical Cyclone 3 continues to trek across the SE CONUS
bringing heavy precipitation. Models have continued the easterly
trend in the track which has led to some adjustments to the
already in place Moderate Risk, Slight Risk, and Marginal Risk
areas to a more easterly tilt. Latest WPC QPF has 3 to 5 inches of
additional precipitation for portions of eastern MS, central AL,
up into GA. A few Hi-Res models show signals of 6 to 8 inches for
these areas, but with a bit more spread among the models,
confidence on these heavier signals remains on the lower end.
