Description:
The Flash Flood Potential Index (FFPI) is a text product produced by forecasters at the WFO SGX and WFO LOX using objective forecasts techniques based upon model data. Ratings of flash flood potential (numbers 0 through 4) for the next two days (today and tomorrow or tomorrow and the next day - depending on the issuance time) are calculated using precipitable water, winds aloft (700 mb), and forecaster knowledge of other atmospheric factors such as stability and atmospheric capping. The FFPI is issued during flash flood season from June 1st through September 30th.
