Each feed is judged on its own clock. The masthead’s reading is the site’s publishing health, which is a different thing: a publishing delay does not make a freshly read warning stale, and a fresh check does not make an old outlook newly issued.

Friday expected rain

WPC rain forecast · an amount, in inches

Most anywhere: 3 in or more

WPC expects at least 3 in of rain, or melted snow and ice, in these 24 hours at the most. An amount, not a chance: a forecast amount at a point can be well off where thunderstorms form.

WPC’s flash-flood risk is Slight (2 of 4) at the most for this day: a chance of rain beyond what the ground can take, which is a different product. Flash-flood risk

Where: The map draws each contour; the key names every amount.
When: 00:00Z to 31 Oct 00:00Z: WPC’s Day 1, 24 hours. Issued 29 Oct 22:06Z.

Forecast details

WPC’s quantitative precipitation forecast: how much rain, or the water in melted snow and ice, it expects to fall over 24 hours, drawn as contours of 0.01 inch and more. It is an amount, not a probability, and not a flood forecast: whether rain floods depends on how fast it falls and on the ground. WPC’s Excessive Rainfall Outlook, in the Flash-flood risk view, is its chance of that. WPC’s rain forecasts.

What a watch and a discussion are

A watch says conditions favour severe storms over a wide area for hours; a warning means one is happening or imminent. A mesoscale discussion is the Storm Prediction Center’s note on an area it is watching, which may or may not lead to a watch.

Severe storms

Marginal risk (1 of 5) at its highest nationally. SPC’s convective outlook, on its own scale.
