Neat! ☔️🌧️🚣

The ERO from last night for better context…

Over 13” of rain last night in IL.

Pattern has been ripe for more flash flooding… this time in the Ohio Valley and Midwest. Could be some big rainfall totals somewhere over the next few days.

Unfortunately two fatalities associated with flash flooding in NJ yesterday. Reminder that most flash flooding fatalities in the U.S. are associated with vehicles.

Heavy rain and rush hour traffic going about as you’d think it would in the DC area this evening.

Thankfully this graphic is scheduled to have a facelift next week! Can’t guarantee all the heat areas will go away…

Growing wildfire southeast of Shippensburg, PA this afternoon. Seems to be located in a large wooded area.

NOAA Weather Prediction Center Excessive Rainfall Outlooks all valid for 2-3 April 2025. The outlooks were very consistent in their location and the observed flooding occurred essentially right in the locations where the outlooks showed the highest probabilities.

We often (rightly) see maps like these showing how good SPC convective outlooks are; let's also give some kudos to WPC for some outstanding excessive rainfall outlooks for this event. Especially impressive are the day 5 outlooks, giving advance notice of prolonged excessive rainfall and flood risk.

Flood/flash flood reports as well as top rainfall reports going back to last Wednesday. Over 15 inches in parts of western Kentucky. ☔️🌧️

FFE for Little Rock, AR

First FFE from the Paducah office for this event.

Excessive rainfall event just getting started in the Mid-South. (18z HRRR through tomorrow)

Many areas hit by yesterday’s tornado outbreak now expected to go through “significant and life-threatening flash flooding” today.

First of what will be many MPDs from WPC over the next few days. “Flash Flooding Likely” and sadly going to prime the soils for more severe flooding impacts.

Can’t really sound the alarm more than a day 3 high risk of excessive rainfall.

Heavy rainfall threat this week. (Via WPC social media)
