Subj : DAY1SVR: Day 1 Convective Outlook To : wx-storm@lists.illinois.edu From : COD Weather Processor Date : Sat Dec 17 2022 19:27:10 ACUS01 KWNS 171927 SWODY1 SPC AC 171925 Day 1 Convective Outlook NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0125 PM CST Sat Dec 17 2022 Valid 172000Z - 181200Z ....NO SEVERE THUNDERSTORM AREAS FORECAST... ....SUMMARY... A few weak thunderstorms are possible today and tonight over parts of south Florida and the Keys. ....South FL... Heating continues south of a stalled front with a moist, uncapped air mass but little in the way of convergence. However, continued heating may eventually lead to isolated thunderstorms, but weak winds below 700 mb along with poor lapse rates should preclude any severe potential despite strong winds above 500 mb. ...Jewell.. 12/17/2022 ..PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 0947 AM CST Sat Dec 17 2022/ ....Synopsis... Recent objective surface analyses and maritime observations show a weak surface low over the central Gulf embedded along a stalled frontal boundary. This feature, likely induced by weak ascent within the right entrance region of the mid/upper-level jet over the south-central CONUS, is expected to propagate east/southeast over the next 24 hours. Thunderstorm development appears probable near and ahead of the low along the residual boundary as it retreats north as a weak warm front over the Keys and south FL through the afternoon. Increasing low-level saturation within the warm frontal zone overlaid with glancing ascent from the passage of the upper-level trough may sustain convection into the overnight hours. Although deep-layer flow and surface-based buoyancy will be adequate for 30-40 knots of effective bulk shear, weakness in the lapse rate profile near 600-650 mb will likely modulate updraft intensities. Instances of small hail and strong wind gusts are possible, but the overall severe threat remains too low for probabilities. $$ = = = To unsubscribe from WX-STORM and you already have a login, go to https://lists.illinois.edu and use the "Unsubscribe" link.
