Excessive Precipitation Precipitation Intensity
• Enhanced Precipitation Efficiency– Deep above freezing cloud layer (3-4 km)
– Low-centroid storms (Warm Rain Process)
– Enhanced low-level lift (topographic or meteorological boundary)
• Minimal Condensate Loss– Moist ambient environment with relatively weak shear
(little entrainment of dry air)
– Weak to moderate updrafts (minimal detrainment)

Excessive Precipitation Precipitation Duration
• Common focus for regeneration of storms– topographic features– meteorological boundaries
• Evolution of mesoscale features in weak flow regime (near upper level ridge)
• Quasi-stationary low-level supply– Equiv Potential Temp Ridge– Low-level jet

Hydrological Aspects
• Physical Characteristics Of Basin– basin size– slope/permeability– antecedent moisture– rainfall characteristics
• storm motion with respect to basin and sub-basins
• Land Use/Human Interaction– urbanization– clear-cut/deforestation– fire scars/volcanic activity

What IS a Flash Flood?
Physical
A sudden and dangerous increase in water momentum that has the same scales of forcing as the short-duration, intense precipitation.

What are the typical scales of a Flash Flood?
• Almost always < 75 km2 (30 mi2), and sometimes less than 25 km2 (10 mi2).
• Less than 6 hours, and typically the real intense precipitation burst and subsequent flash flood are occurring in the 1-2 hour time frame.
• Rainfall rates >100 mm/h (4 in/h), somewhat greater in more humid, low-elevation climates– Watch for precipitable water values of 1.00-1.50” in
CO/WY

Flash Floods in the South-Central U.S.: What are They
and How Can we Forecast Them?
• Rainfall Intensity– Maritime, tropical– Low-centroid storm,
deep above freezing layer (~4 km)
– Enhanced low-level lift
• Rainfall Duration– Focus for regeneration
• Hydrologic Response– Know your basins!

Flash Floods in the South-Central U.S.: What are They and
How Can we Forecast Them?
To Forecast Flash Floods:• At least 15-min & 2 X 2
km resolution– for precipitation– for hydrologic
processes– for guidance
• Local agencies that are responsible for their flood control structures.
• Public Education
