Potential for isolated flash and locally considerable urban flooding in the Lower Ohio Valley...Ongoing coastal flooding and rain on snow in Alaska...Heavy rainfall potential across the Southwest late this week...Ongoing flash flood threat in American Samoa Lower Ohio Valley... For day 1 (Tue), there is a threat of isolated flash and urban flooding, with metro areas such as Louisville, KY being at risk for locally considerable urban flash flooding. The overall flood threat across this region is starting out lower due to antecedent soil moisture values that are extremely low with streamflows running near their seasonal normal (low) values. Due to the dry soil moisture values, a river flood event is not expected. Alaska... A coastal flood event is developing across portions of western Alaska, with moderate to major coastal flooding expected. This event will be prolonged through day 3 (Thu) by a system bringing high winds, locally heavy rainfall, and storm surge. As the associated precipitation moves further inland, it is expected to melt snow in the Brooks Range leading to increased runoff into small streams and rivers. .Southwest... Isolated flash and arroyo flooding will be possible over portions of New Mexico today. Later this week, daily rounds of moderate to locally heavy rainfall are expected to begin on day 3 (Thu) across this region. While forecast confidence remains low for the exact location of impacts due to model spread, rainfall forecasts on day 4 - 6 (Fri - Sun) focus the heaviest rainfall over the Mogollon Rim of AZ and into the mountains of SW NM. Impacts at this time are mainly expected to be flash, urban, and arroyo flooding. Any burn scars in the region will remain a threat with the potential for flash flooding and debris flows. American Samoa... Isolated flash flooding with associated landslides possible through early day 3 (Thu). //Leisure $$
