Areas affected...South Texas...
Concerning...Heavy rainfall...Flash flooding possible
Valid 091310Z - 091900Z
SUMMARY...Prolonged moderate to occassionally heavy rainfall
continues. Embedded convective cells, especially deep south, may
support up to 2"/hr locally. Given saturated soils, localized
flash flooding will remain possible (more probable further south).
DISCUSSION...GOES-E WV suite shows core of slowly filling closed
low over the Big Bend of W TX, slowly wobbling east-northeastward.
The favorable broad diffluent southwesterly flow ahead of it
continues to provide favorable ascent pattern, though strongest
divergence in the left exit is crossing the middle Texas Coastal
Plain at this time but will be reducing in stronger ascent through
the morning into early afternoon.
Low level flow continues to peak from diurnal onshore maximum with
strong southeasterly flow at 20-30kts at 850mb, generally
collocated with the core of the deep layer moisture axis. Total
PWats of 1.8" (KBRO RAOB) to RAP analysis at near 2". CIRA LPW
shows bulk of that is below 850mb (.8-.9") and while surface
heating is less than yesterday, it still supports 1000 J/kg of
SBCAPEs into the southern tip of Texas, though with the slow
isentropic ascent through the region, MUCAPEs of 500+ J/kg have
nosed well up the Rio Grande Valley into the southern Edwards
Plateau. Given the deep southwesterly diffluence and dPVA,
scattered ascent and shallow convective elements will develop in
that MUCAPE axis and translate eastward through South-Central TX.
Rates of .5-.75"/hr will be scattered through saturated soil areas
were FFG values are reduced at or below 1"/1 or 3hrs and may
result in continuing ongoing slower rise flooding in the region
with a spotty rapid rise near any stronger convective elements.
However, the greater concern for flash flooding will remains
across far Deep South Texas, where the stronger heating is
expected and CAPEs are expected to rise over 1500 J/kg. 13z
surface analysis continues to show a weak surface low over E
Brooks county along the strong/persistent NW to SSE surface
convergence trof across the area (between EBG/HRL, LRD/HBV,
FTN/COT and DRT/UVA). Stronger easterly surface flow off the NW
Gulf in the southeast quadrant of the low will be that extra
convergence necessary for stronger vertical ascent and therefore
greater rain rates, likely between 1.5-2"/hr, though occasional
localized 2.5"+ are not out of the realm of possibility. Bulk
shear remains sufficient for rotating updrafts to reduce forward
cell motions, therefore increasing residency. While Hi-Res CAMs
continue to suggest best convergence and rainfall total potential
remain just offshore of the tip of Texas; a few pockets of 2-4"
totals may result in flash flooding given area of southern coastal
Texas has been saturated from yesterday's heavy rainfall making
flash flooding possible through the early afternoon period.
