Subj : DAY1SVR: Day 1 Convective Outlook To : wx-storm@lists.illinois.edu From : COD Weather Processor Date : Fri Dec 09 2022 05:40:52 ACUS01 KWNS 090540 SWODY1 SPC AC 090539 Day 1 Convective Outlook NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 1139 PM CST Thu Dec 08 2022 Valid 091200Z - 101200Z ....NO SEVERE THUNDERSTORM AREAS FORECAST... ....SUMMARY... Severe weather is not forecast across the U.S. on Friday. ....Discussion... Stubborn upper ridge remains anchored over the Gulf of Mexico late this evening. This feature is forecast to move little into the day2 period and will continue to deflect short waves across the southwestern US, arcing across the middle of the country into the OH Valley region. One notable short-wave trough will approach NM/far west TX late in the period, and this should encourage a strengthening LLJ across the southern Plains during the latter half of the period. Surface front that is currently draped from northern AL-Arklatex-north-central TX will likely advance a bit north in response to the approaching short wave and strengthening LLJ. While higher-PW air mass should oscillate with frontal movement, forecast soundings do not depict appreciable instability. Nevertheless, buoyancy will likely prove sufficient for lightning with deeper convection. At this time it appears warm advection will be the primary forcing mechanism for elevated convection north of the boundary. Greatest concentration of lightning should be noted with convection that develops across the southern Plains after 10/00z. A few flashes of lightning may also be noted with scattered convection that spreads inland along the southern OR/northern CA Coast late in the period. Latest guidance suggests a pronounced short-wave trough will approach the CA Coast by the end of the period, and a few elevated thunderstorms may evolve ahead of the front within a very strong warm advection regime. ...Darrow/Lyons.. 12/09/2022 $$ = = = To unsubscribe from WX-STORM and you already have a login, go to https://lists.illinois.edu and use the "Unsubscribe" link.
