HAVE HAD SOME FLOODING REPORTS...ESPECIALLY URBAN AREAS...ACROSS AREAS IN THIS HEAVIER BAND OF SHOWERS AND STORMS. GFS...WHICH SEEMS TO HAVE A BETTER HANDLE ON CURRENT PRECIP...INDICATES HEAVIEST PRECIP AREA WILL LIFT NORTH OF THE PAH FA AFTER 12Z AS WARM FRONT MOVES FARTHER NORTH. WILL CONTINUE TO MONITOR AREAS OF HEAVY RAIN FOR ADDITIONAL URBAN AND SMALL STREAM/FLASH FLOOD WARNINGS...BUT WITH HEAVY RAIN ALREADY OCCURRING AND EXPECTING THE BAND OF HEAVIEST RAIN TO MOVE NORTH OF THESE AREAS IN THE NEXT 4 TO 6 HOURS...WILL NOT ISSUE A FLOOD WATCH AT THIS LATE TIME. ON TO THE SEVERE WEATHER THREAT...WITH SPC INCLUDING THE ENTIRE PAH CWA IN A HIGH RISK...OBVIOUSLY WILL CONTINUE WITH SEVERE MENTION IN TODAYS ZONES. GFS IS SLIGHTLY FASTER THAN THE NAM WITH THE LOW...PUTTING IT OVER STL BY 18Z...BUT OVERALL POSITIONING IS VERY SIMILAR WITH GFS MAYBE JUST A COUPLE OF HOURS FASTER THAN THE NAM.
