The 12z NAM (and other models before) has an elevated convection signal overnight and early tomorrow morning. The NAM has nearly 500+ J/kg MUCAPE along the instability axis and pwats 1.60"+. We could see some thunderstorms with torrential downpours. But nothing severe.

With everything that has come out of this storm system the most impressive is what's going on on the gulf coast. 2 feet of rain in 24 hours is just mind boggling

 

Yeah, that was more than twice  twice what I experienced in Long Beach on 8-14-11. That was the heaviest 

12 hr rainfall total that I ever saw in Long Beach. 10.87 was my 12 hr and daily record. My two

hour record is still 5.15 on 6-22-95.

Yeah that was pretty crazy but would be kind of cool to experience once.

YanksFan- from the sound of this you are one of the @$$#*!*$ that drives around sightseeing while my neighbors and I deal with the destruction that flood waters cause.  The idea of 20"of rain in 24 hours chills me to the bone.  How you could wish that on anyone, however "cool" you think it would be is insulting.  There are homes on my street that are still standing vacant, since IRENE.  The general tone of your posts always trend toward excitement at the prospect of flooding. Please keep in mind that people will face many hardships every time you get one of your wished-for floods.

Take a breather. We're all weather enthusiasts here. Didn't wish it on anyone, just said that it would be cool to experience.

 

FYI, I'm a firefighter and I'm probably going to be spending my evening performing water rescues and possible evacuations of low lying areas.

YanksFan controls the weather, as we all know. We are at his mercy. Please for the love of all that is holy stop typing about rain; I want to go sunbathing. :(
