545 AWUS01 KWNH 010133 FFGMPD TNZ000-MSZ000-MOZ000-ARZ000-OKZ000-010700- Mesoscale Precipitation Discussion 0563 NWS Weather Prediction Center College Park MD 933 PM EDT Mon Jun 30 2025 Areas affected...Central AR...Southeast OK...Western TN...Northern MS... Concerning...Heavy rainfall...Flash flooding possible Valid 010135Z - 010700Z SUMMARY...Very moist/unstable axis with favorable deep layer flow for repeating/training cells. Spots of 2-4" totals in short-duration pose localized flash flooding through the early overnight period. DISCUSSION...RAP analysis shows deep layer convergence, particularly along the upwind convergence zone along northwest edge of 850mb ridge near mature convective complex in Southwest OK. A speed max of 20-25kts at 925-850mb is pressing eastward and expanding the convective line into western AR. The stronger convergence connects up to the old outflow boundary from last evening and intersects with the far southwest edge of trailing confluence of the exiting MCV/shortwave in SE MO. Total PWats are well above normal in the 2-2.25" range throughout the axis which further increases as westerly winds back to more southerly through the MS Valley into W TN/NW MS; resulting in enhanced instability pools of 2500-3000 J/kg across central AR and into the Delta Region. Northern stream trough is digging with warming in the GOES-E WV suite across NEB entering KS/NW MO. This will continue to maintain stronger deeper layer steering flow parallel to the boundary; though broaden the focus of convergence a bit more north to south. As such, 850mb winds will maintain and be more westerly to support back-building environment with deep layer westerly flow across AR. So with stronger updrafts and very deep moisture, vertical moisture flux could support 2-3"/hr rain rates; though there is some uncertainty cells will order to train ideally for sizable totals to exceed higher FFG values across SW to central AR. Convergence reduces across central to eastern AR before increasing again where LLJ has turned more southerly through the MS River Valley. This will reduce favorable training orientation, but stronger updrafts moving across reduced FFGs and recently saturated soils across N MS and W TN may allow for widely scattered 2-3" totals resulting in localized flash flooding through the early overnight period.
