Flood Forecast: 10:20am Mountain Time Tuesday

By -
Here is the updated flash flood forecast from now through 6am Wednesday Mountain Time.

I would prepare for the potential for flooding in the yellow and, especially, in the red area.


This is the flooding forecast from 6am Wednesday to 6am Thursday. 

Category 5 Hurricane Polo off the Mexican Pacific Coast is creeping toward the northwest. It is flowing moisture into New Mexico and will set off flooding. 
An important note: This is a powerful Cat 5 hurricane. It will move northwest for 4-5 days. However, after that, its movement is highly uncertain. Some (not all) models are indicating the weakened hurricane itself, or its remains, could affect Baja and/or the Southwest United States. It is important for people in this area to monitor the weather forecasts and storm warnings.

I'm going to walk you through it so young meteorologists, in a similar case, won't make the mistake of mistaking side lobes for a tornado.  This case was in north central Texas on February 2nd. I'm using the Abilene/Sweetwater WSR-88D and the software is RadarScope. When I draw on one panel of the screen, it shows up on the other in the same place, so the measurements are about as exact as any in meteorology.  The Thunderstorm Cluster, 4:24pm Above is a cluster of thunderstorms with the two storms with arrows starting to transition to supercells. We already have the northern storm (just south of Aspermont)  moving north northeast. In a situation like this, the storm will likely be "a hailer" -- meaning it is likely to produce hail, possibly ...
