ya im not the type to say u are, just u have my attention. I see the potential

 

I do think it will dump. I'm sort of going with previous experience so it will be interesting to see if it works out. It may be progressive enough luckily...so that hefty amounts might be in a very narrow area.

Been watching the same forecast ;-)

At least it will keep the drought dust down when I mow the lawn.

Most tropical systems do their dirty work in a 6-8 hour period of dumping though. If you can string that with an area that does relatively well with a PRE and banding prior to the arrival of the heaviest you're in business.

Yeah exactly. That 6-8 hr deluge is what does the dirty work.

It looks like rivers in SNE will barely get to bank-full with basin averaged rain of ~4" in 12 hours per NERFC/NWS. So the bar is pretty high to start river flooding. 

 

Some of the flashier rivers are more vulnerable and of course flash flooding in urban areas/small streams.

 

Either we need basin-wide 6"+ totals to start causing issues or really wild rates to start putting smaller rivers over their banks.

That's always my fear this time of year following heavy rain events...excessive boundary layer moisture. Foggy warm nights probably too.

 

I can already sense I want this pattern to clean house and sweep out to sea.  No thanks on the dank.  Let's hope that we get some Can air masses during that seemingly transitional pattern, after --- though it hints at heat.

This is about what I'm seeing in the flood potential.   A kind of close but no cigar on majors, but some farmers next to fields streams having to worry about shimmering fields.
