'Be ready to move quickly to higher ground': Forecaster delivers ominous warning of 1-in-1,000-year flood coming

Forecasters have warned of historic flooding in the central US this week, anticipating multiple bouts of heavy rainfall and extreme thunderstorms.

The central U.S. could experience historic flash flooding this week as torrential rains and thunderstorms repeatedly strike the same areas, forecasters have announced. Weather website AccuWeather has warned of the potential for a 1-in-1,000-year flood across northeastern Arkansas to western Kentucky, with the worst-hit areas to receive the equivalent of four months' worth of rain in just five days. In some cases, this will fall on areas that could be vulnerable to flooding, having already received a great deal of rainfall in recent months.

"We're concerned about the risk of life-threatening and historic flash flooding, which could evolve into a major river flooding event," Jonathan Porter, chief meteorologist at AccuWeather, said in a statement. "Dangerous situations can escalate to life-threatening emergencies in a matter of seconds with a flash flooding threat as serious as this." Heavy rain is expected to fall from Wednesday night (April 2) through Sunday (April 6), leading to widespread flash flooding, particularly in the Lower Ohio Valley, Mid-South, and Arkansas, according to the National Weather Service.

The rain is flowing into the central U.S. from the tropics on an atmospheric river — a long, thin region of the atmosphere that transports heat and water vapor. The movement of water is expected to slow down and effectively stall between now and the weekend, resulting in a massive deluge of rain in the same few areas.

"A big area of high pressure off the coast of the Southeast U.S. will funnel moisture from the Caribbean and Gulf into parts of the central U.S.," Porter said. "The weather pattern will look like a traffic jam in the atmosphere, with repeating thunderstorms and downpours over the same areas. This is a recipe for big flooding problems."

15. He should be.

Western North Carolina is still trying to recover from Hurricane Helene. People living on tops of mountains a thousand miles from the coast thought they were safe from floods. None of us are.

Where the hell does this person think North Carolina is?!

Hey, Algore said that Miami and NYC would already be underwater by now. That was quite the prediction, was it not?

It’s 1,086 miles from Kitty Hawk, NC to Lehi, AR. Somehow I don’t think the people in the mountains of NC are a thousand miles from the coast.

Forecaster delivers ominous warning of 1-in-1,000-year flood coming

"1-in-1,000-year" is metaphor, for the simple reason that records of such things probably only go as far back as 200-300 years.

One of the facts Warmistas and other Chicken Littles try to keep deep in the dark is that actual temperature records only date back 3 or 4 centuries (to when Gabriel Fahrenheit invented a reasonably accurate thermometer), and something close to well distributed worldwide temperature records may only go back a century or even half century. There is a similar time limitation for weather records. Tree rings and such are, at best, imprecise and multivocal proxies.

The DUmmie is either talking about the OTHER North Carolina that exists in their made up Bizarro World OR is using Bizarro miles instead of normal miles.
