"Potentially catastrophic flooding could occur in the mid-South and Ohio Valley regions as multiple bouts of #ExtremeRainfall impact those regions into the weekend.
Rainfall totals could reach 10 inches or more in what some National Weather Service offices are calling a "particularly dangerous situation" that will produce life-threatening #FlashFlooding as well as major flooding that could approach record levels in some locations. "
"#ClimateChange is bringing heavier rainfall extremes and increased, inequitable flood risk to many parts of the U.S.
For every 1°F of warming, the air can hold 4% more moisture, increasing the chances of heavier downpours that contribute to #FlashFlooding hazards. "

Risk rises for #mudslides around #LACounty fire zones; prepare for worst-case scenario, officials warn
Alene Tchekmedyian, Rong-Gong Lin II, Melody Gutierrez, LA Times

"With more rain on the way, officials warned Sunday of an increasing risk of mudslides in #LosAngelesCounty's burn areas, with a 10% to 20% chance of significant #FlashFlooding and #DebrisFlows capable of damaging roads and homes in and around areas devastated by #wildfires.
"'This is the worst-case scenario to prepare for,' said Kristan Lund, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service in Oxnard.
"'We do have increasing concern for the #BurnScars,' Lund said. The charred footprint of the Eaton fire, which blackened more than 14,000 acres, is the most worrisome. 'These #FlashFloods and these debris flows could happen in and near or below these burn scars.'
"A #FloodWatch took effect at 10 a.m. Sunday and was set to continue through 4 p.m. Monday for the burned areas of the #EatonFire in the #Altadena and #Pasadena areas; the #PalisadesFire and #FranklinFires in the Pacific Palisades and Malibu areas; the Hughes fire around Lake Castaic; and the Bridge fire in the San Gabriel Mountains west and southwest of Wrightwood. The flood watch started six hours earlier than originally anticipated as rain began falling steadily around Los Angeles."

#TropicalStormSara to unleash life-threatening #flooding in #CentralAmerica
Tropical Storm Sara will bring an extreme risk to lives and property in Central America where feet of rain may fall before tracking toward #Florida next week.
By Alex Sosnowski, AccuWeather senior meteorologist
Published Nov 14, 2024
"Rain may pour down for days on the northern parts of #Nicaragua and #Honduras before shifting to eastern parts of #Guatemala, #Belize and southeastern #Mexico this weekend.
"A general 8-12 inches (20-30 cm) will fall in this zone, but a large pocket of 12-18 inches (30-45 cm) of rain is forecast from northern Honduras and Nicaragua, with an AccuWeather Local StormMax™ of 50 inches (127 cm).
"'This amount of rain will trigger major #FlashFlooding and #mudslides with the potential for catastrophic loss of life and tremendous damage,' AccuWeather Chief Meteorologist Jonathan Porter warned.
"Some communities could be cut off for days due to washed-out roads and bridges or blocked by debris flows. Demands for rescue and recovery efforts, as well as food and medical supplies, will be great in the wake of the storm in the region.
"Because of Sara's proximity to the #Caribbean for several days, it will likely not unwind fully. As a result, winds, waves and #StormSurge will blast the coast of #Honduras, eastern #Guatemala, #Belize and Mexico's #Yucatan Peninsula. Sporadic #PowerOutages are likely due to #StrongWinds."

🚨 Weather heads up! An #AtmosphericRiver is set to bring heavy rain to the coast and mountain snow to the Pacific Northwest & Northern California this Wednesday. ⛰️ Meanwhile, thunderstorms and heavy rain could cause flash flooding in parts of the Lower Ohio, Tennessee & Mississippi Valleys. 🌧️ Stay safe & stay informed! #FlashFlooding #StormAlert #Weather
Current sitution in #NorthCarolina, as best I can piece together:
EasternNC: #tornadoes continue to be a threat.
CentralNC: sporadic tornadoes, but the worst mostly seems to have moved north
Western Piedmont/Foothills: major (and I mean potentially catastrophic) #flashflooding is coming your way, even after #Helene moves through and the sun is shining again.
WesternNC: seems like the rain has passed, but OMG the #flooding is the worst in history.
