Concerning...Heavy rainfall...Flash flooding possible Valid 100610Z - 101200Z SUMMARY...Strong MCS approaching Long Island & slow moving, isolated convection north of it across Southern New England. Rates of 1.5-2"/hr and totals of 2-3.54" may present localized possible flash flooding through early morning. DISCUSSION...GOES-E 10.3um EIR loop shows a mature symmetric MCC moving through the New York Bight toward eastern Long Island. RADAR shows impressive MCV and stronger thunderstorm activity extending eastward given stronger WAA along/ahead of the wave increasing appearance of a solid occlusion to the overall wave. This would suggest slowing northeastward propagation and increasing rainfall duration. Given ample deep layer moisture of 1.75" and stronger flux noted by RAP analysis and upstream VWP out of NJ; would support up to 2"/hr and possible 2-3" totals along the MCV across LI and eventually into coastal SE CT/RI and SE MA. Given higher FFG naturally through the area, flash flooding potential is likely to be more urban in nature with this wave. Further north into southern New England; RAP analysis and surface observations support a remaining uncapped to slightly capped region of 1000+ J/kg SBCAPE along the slowly northward advancing warm front from the Upper-Hudson Valley across central CT toward the Gulf of Maine. GOES-E WV shows highly positive tilt/elongated trough axis across New England into the northern Mid-Atlantic supporting DPVA while strong exiting jet streak over 90 kts at 3H across Interior New England providing strong right entrance ascent and evacuation to the environment. Proximity to the warm front also provides some weak low level shear to support helicity to 50 m2/s2. As such, RADAR shows a few cells developing across E NY, CT and MA that are narrow in nature but have a weak rotation. Given similar ample moisture, cells should have good efficiency and weak rotating updrafts will further enhance moisture flux. While overall deep layer flow is strong suggestive of progressive cell motions, the shear supports Bunker`s right moving supercell propagation suggests reduced forward propagation allowing for increased rainfall duration. So cells will have capability of 1.5-2"/hr rates but the weaker instability will limit the overall width of the updraft and potentially counteract the overall rainfall footprint/streaks. Confidence is slightly increased given 00z Hi-Res CAM solutions and 00z HREF output suggesting 3"/3hr of 10-30% and totals of 2-4" remain possible through 12z. Given this is very close to areas affected by heavy rainfall last evening, soils may still be prone for decreased infiltration and higher run-off suggesting areas of possible flash flooding may occur again tonight.
