Isolated severe thunderstorms are possible on Thursday into Thursday night from east Texas and western Louisiana northward into western Arkansas. ....Arklatex... A mid-level trough is forecast to quickly move from the Sangre de Cristos along the CO/NM border to the Upper Great Lakes during the period. An area of low pressure extending from KS into MN will consolidate as a low moves to near Lake Superior late. A Pacific cold front will push east across parts of the southern Great Plains into the lower MO Valley. Southerly low-level flow from the western Gulf northward into the Ozarks will contribute to a gradually moistening and destabilizing airmass. Model guidance shows a plume of moisture with upper 50s deg F dewpoints reaching as far north as I-40 in western AR and lower to mid 60s in the lower Sabine Valley. With the mid-level feature only expected to glance the region, weak but persistent low-level warm air advection and moistening will likely aid in scattered showers/thunderstorms developing by late afternoon, despite the prevalence of clouds inhibiting strong heating. Veering and strengthening flow with height into the mid levels will favor organized storms with the stronger updrafts, especially over TX/LA where greater buoyancy is forecast (1000 J/kg MLCAPE). This activity will likely shift eastward during the evening into the overnight and weaken late as instability wanes with east extent. ...Smith.. 12/27/2022 $$ = = = To unsubscribe from WX-STORM and you already have a login, go to https://lists.illinois.edu and use the "Unsubscribe" link.
