489 AGUS74 KWCO 191302 HMDNWC National Hydrologic Discussion - EXPERIMENTAL NWS National Water Center - Tuscaloosa AL 700 AM CST WED NOV 19 2025 UPDATE... For the morning FHO issuance, the limited impact area over the Southwest was shifted farther east across Arizona and into New Mexico, where locally heavy rainfall today may result in isolated flash and arroyo flooding. //RMF Previous Discussion as follows: ...Flash and urban flooding possible for the Desert Southwest through tomorrow... ...Flood threat developing over the Southern Plains into the Ozarks tomorrow... .California... Multiple rounds of showers and thunderstorms are expected over the CA/NV line into central AZ through tonight and again tomorrow afternoon, bringing the potential of isolated flooding to the region. The greatest threat of impacts will be in and around recently burned areas, where flash flooding and debris flow may occur if heavy rainfall moves over. Rainfall should start to move east of the region tomorrow night, bringing drier conditions to the area. .Southern Plains into the Ozarks... Moderate to heavy rainfall starting tomorrow will bring the potential for flash and urban flooding to the region. Initially, storms will be isolated and antecedent conditions will be dry, resulting in the main threat being mainly urban and flash flooding from isolated supercells. Rainfall becomes a bit more widespread going into the late part of the week, increasing soil moisture over portions of central Texas into the Ozarks. Generally this rainfall should be beneficial however, as we progress into the weekend, the potential for small stream and isolated river flooding will increase, especially over portions of the Red River Valley. Areas that will need to be watched closest for flood impact potential over the next 6 days will be central Texas up to the Oklahoma line. Very few changes to the FHO with this issuance, with the main change being a southwest extension into the Hill Country of Texas, including the Big Bend. //GKendrick Additional National Water Center products are available at www.weather.gov/owp/operations $$
