Medium-range model output indicates that an initial significant surface cyclone will migrate from the Mid South through the upper Ohio Valley/lower Great Lakes vicinity Wednesday through Wednesday night, with secondary surface cyclogenesis taking place across the Georgia and Carolina Piedmont into the northern Mid Atlantic coast. Associated low-level moisture return and forcing for ascent may be accompanied by extensive convection and embedded thunderstorm activity spreading from Alabama at the outset of the period through perhaps much of the southern through middle Atlantic Coast states by early Thursday. In the presence of strong deep-layer mean wind fields and shear, the risk for severe weather may not be negligible, and at least low severe weather probabilities may eventually be needed across portions of this region in later outlooks for this period. However, based on current available forecast soundings, thermodynamic profiles with modest to weak mid-level lapse rates and stable near-surface lapse rates will not be optimal for severe storms, and it remains unclear where and if severe probabilities will exceed 15 percent. Later this coming week through next weekend, the evolution of the split flow across the mid-latitude eastern Pacific becomes more unclear. But it still appears that a broadly confluent regime will evolve east of the Rockies, between a prominent mid-level low and subtropical high becoming centered across the Hudson Bay and Caribbean vicinities, respectively. This does not appear particularly conducive to significant surface cyclogenesis accompanied by appreciable severe weather potential. ...Kerr.. 01/22/2023 = = = To unsubscribe from WX-STORM and you already have a login, go to https://lists.illinois.edu and use the "Unsubscribe" link.
