A moderately strong atmospheric river continues to weaken across central to southern CA as a dry airmass associated with an approaching northern-stream shortwave erodes the main IVT axis over the region. However, the favorable orientation of the subtropical moisture plume and IVT could still favor brief periods of .25-.50"/hour rainfall rates in the foothills of the southern Sierra Nevada through this afternoon per the 6z HREF. Given the wet antecedent conditions across the area, these additional rains are expected to maintain an isolated flooding threat in the southern Sierra Nevada before the atmospheric river wanes tonight. Asherman/Orrison Day 2 Valid 12Z Wed Nov 27 2024 - 12Z Thu Nov 28 2024 The probability of rainfall exceeding flash flood guidance is less than 5 percent. Orrison/Kleebauer Day 3 Valid 12Z Thu Nov 28 2024 - 12Z Fri Nov 29 2024 The probability of rainfall exceeding flash flood guidance is less than 5 percent.
