The potential for flash and urban flooding, along with isolated new or renewed river flooding, returns today through Tuesday. While recent rainfall has increased soil moisture, levels remain near 50% (0-10cm RSM, NASA SPoRT), suggesting the ground still retains some capacity for infiltration. However, the flood threat persists due to the region`s specific soil characteristics, specifically large areas of shallow soils or compact clay which will promote rapid runoff regardless of the average saturation levels. HEFS/PQPF guidance and the HRRR-driven National Water Model Short-Range Rapid Onset Flooding forecast support this assessment, indicating that isolated river, flash, and urban flooding remain possible. //DPL Additional National Water Center products are available at www.weather.gov/owp/operations $$
