Hydrologic Outlook?
« on: April 29, 2010, 03:33:02 PM »
I've never seen this posted.  It was with the Hazardous Weather Statement.  They must expect some serious rain this weekend!   8-[

HYDROLOGIC OUTLOOK

...PROLONGED RAINS THIS WEEKEND HAVE THE POTENTIAL TO CAUSE FLOODING...


A MAJOR SPRING RAIN SYSTEM IS APPROACHING THE TENNESSEE VALLEY AND
MAY BRING HUGE AMOUNTS OF GULF MOISTURE INTO THE REGION THIS
WEEKEND. DIFFERENT COMPUTER MODELS SHOW DIFFERENT TIMING AND
AMOUNTS AND SO IT WILL BE NECESSARY TO WATCH CLOSELY AND SEE
EXACTLY WHERE THE RAIN DEVELOPS AND HOW FAST IT MOVES.

RIVERS IN EAST TENNESSEE...EXTREME SOUTHWEST VIRGINIA...AND EXTREME
SOUTHWEST NORTH CAROLINA ARE ON THE LOW SIDE. ALSO...TOTAL RAIN
THIS YEAR HAS BEEN QUITE A BIT BELOW NORMAL. THIS WILL HELP TO
LESSEN THE LIKELIHOOD OF FLOODING. NEVERTHELESS...PLEASE KEEP AN
EYE OUT FOR THE POSSIBILITY OF A PROLONGED RAIN EVENT THIS WEEKEND.

Hydrologic Outlook and Hydrologic Advisory are new advisories that they just added to their advisory product list.  I saw them for the first time this past winter when they were predicting some heavy rains for my area.
