Kleebauer Day 3 Valid 12Z Mon Mar 16 2026 - 12Z Tue Mar 17 2026 ...THERE IS A MARGINAL RISK OF EXCESSIVE RAINFALL FOR PORTIONS OF THE NORTHEASTERN U.S... Highly meridional setup expected this weekend, carrying into early next week as a powerful cyclone materializes over the Midwest and Great Lakes sending a strong cold front migrating west to east for areas east of the Mississippi. Ahead of the front, a strong warm air and deep moisture advection regime will couple to send PWATs surging between 2-4 standard deviations above normal for areas east of the Appalachians on Monday along with modest instability of MUCAPE between 500-1000 J/kg over the Mid Atlantic and 200-400 J/kg as far north as Central New England. Increased forcing at both the surface with the approach of the cold front, as well as favorable upper dynamics comprised of textbook diffluent flow aloft within the RER of a 160kt jet will allow for quite the developing QLCS structure off the lee-side of the Appalachians, pushing east into the Piedmont, eventually to the coastal plain the end of the period.=20 Current QPF forecast is generally between 1-2" with a maxima focused over Southern New England thanks to a multi-round setup of heavy rain over that area. Setup will be relatively progressive, but rates between 1-2"/hr at peak intensity should spur some issues for flash flooding across the urban corridor along I-95. Add in snow and ice melt across New England with the expected heavy rain and the prospects for flash flooding will increase thanks to the anomalous setup. Will be monitoring the trends in QPF closely as the forecast is still outside the CAMs window. Convective nature of the precipitation should provide some opportunity for local maxima during the evolution on Monday and Monday night. Maintained general continuity from the previous forecast of a broad MRGL encompassing eastern PA up through Northern New England. Did make some minor adjustments on the northern fringes as heaviest precip does look to avoid some areas of far northern New England, including the Champlain Valley up through northwest ME where guidance has reflected a general min in the QPF distribution. Stay tuned over the coming days as this setup has merit for a potential upgrade across parts of the Northeastern CONUS.=20 Kleebauer Day 1 threat area: https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://www.wpc.ncep.noaa.go= v/qpf/94epoints.txt__;!!DZ3fjg!5NPldIxmAvDg8BzK9x-slaY_7uGldFXDLf1s_5hp1LuV= sYAbplpc7b4mZUUFuH6D3YJOMQhNzTcFOMYRnmC3GSTVr94$=20 Day 2 threat area: https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://www.wpc.ncep.noaa.go= v/qpf/98epoints.txt__;!!DZ3fjg!5NPldIxmAvDg8BzK9x-slaY_7uGldFXDLf1s_5hp1LuV= sYAbplpc7b4mZUUFuH6D3YJOMQhNzTcFOMYRnmC32vnxL_A$=20 Day 3 threat area: https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://www.wpc.ncep.noaa.go= v/qpf/99epoints.txt__;!!DZ3fjg!5NPldIxmAvDg8BzK9x-slaY_7uGldFXDLf1s_5hp1LuV= sYAbplpc7b4mZUUFuH6D3YJOMQhNzTcFOMYRnmC3Gbr2BIs$=20 =3D =3D =3D To unsubscribe from WX-STORM and you already have a login, go to https://lists.illinois.edu and use the "Unsubscribe" link.
