Subj : DAY1SVR: Day 1 Convective Outlook To : wx-storm@lists.illinois.edu From : COD Weather Processor Date : Fri Jan 06 2023 12:47:03 ACUS01 KWNS 061247 SWODY1 SPC AC 061245 Day 1 Convective Outlook NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0645 AM CST Fri Jan 06 2023 Valid 061300Z - 071200Z ....NO THUNDERSTORM AREAS FORECAST... ....SUMMARY... Thunderstorm areas are not forecast today. ....Synopsis/Discussion... A progressive mid/upper-level pattern will persist across the CONUS through the period, with height rises over much of the East as troughing there deamplifies. An upstream shortwave trough -- currently over the Great Basin and embedded within a slower moving larger-scale ridge -- will escape eastward across the central Rockies and central Great Plains, but in weakened form. In the wake of frontal passage and continental/polar airmass intrusion from the eastern system, insufficient moisture will exist ahead of the Rockies/Plains feature to support thunderstorms in the central CONUS. Farther west, ridging aloft will build again and shift eastward from the Great Basin across the Rockies, as a series of troughs of varying lengths crosses the northeastern Pacific. A synoptic-scale cyclone -- now centered about 500 nm west of the OR coastline, should eject northeastward toward waters off of BC and weaken. Its associated frontal/precip band should affect portions of the coastal Pacific Northwest and northwestern CA from late this afternoon through this evening. While very isolated lightning cannot be ruled out in this band, potential appears too sparse and low for a 10% areal thunder delineation over land. ...Edwards.. 01/06/2023 $$ = = = To unsubscribe from WX-STORM and you already have a login, go to https://lists.illinois.edu and use the "Unsubscribe" link.
