051 AGUS74 KWCO 242006 HMDNWC National Hydrologic Discussion - EXPERIMENTAL NWS National Water Center - Tuscaloosa AL 200 PM CST MON NOV 24 2025 ...Flash, urban, and isolated river flooding to continue across portions of the ArkLaTex through tonight... .ArkLaTex... Ongoing convection across eastern TX, AR, and northern LA will continue through tonight, bringing the potential for isolated flash and urban flooding. Repeated rounds of rainfall over the past several days has increased soil moisture across the region, thus increasing vulnerability to additional rainfall and flooding. Overall, storm activity is expected to be progressive, so widespread flooding impacts are not anticipated. However, flooding impacts are possible in urban areas, sensitive basins, and in areas where heavier rainfall rates or training convection do materialize. Isolated river flooding is ongoing and forecasted across the Dallas/Ft.Worth metropolitan area following heavy rainfall earlier today. .Lower Mississippi Valley... Multiple rounds of moderate to heavy rainfall is expected from the ArkLaTex through MS on Day 7 - 8 (Sun - Mon), increasing concern for flooding impacts. After rainfall tonight, this area will have several days of dry weather, which should preclude any hydrologic responses across this region for the initial round or two of rainfall. Both deterministic forcings of the National Water Model Medium Range Forecast are indicating small stream responses across these regions. There still remains some discrepancies in the exact placement of most likely impacts given run-to-run inconsistencies between the models later this weekend into early next week. However, current river ensemble guidance (HEFS) isolated isolated river flooding (30% exceedance) across the region early next week. Given the lack of confidence and the majority of the rainfall outside of the current forecast window, a limited flood impact area will not be placed on the Flood Hazard Outlook at this time, but trends will continue to be monitored over the next several days. //JDP Additional National Water Center products are available at www.weather.gov/owp/operations $$
