We often (rightly) see maps like these showing how good SPC convective outlooks are; let's also give some kudos to WPC for some outstanding excessive rainfall outlooks for this event. Especially impressive are the day 5 outlooks, giving advance notice of prolonged excessive rainfall and flood risk.

First of what will be many MPDs from WPC over the next few days. “Flash Flooding Likely” and sadly going to prime the soils for more severe flooding impacts.
