Subj : DAY48SVR: Nws Storm Prediction Center Norman Ok To : wx-storm@lists.illinois.edu From : COD Weather Processor Date : Sun Feb 05 2023 10:00:55 ACUS48 KWNS 051000 SWOD48 SPC AC 050959 Day 4-8 Convective Outlook NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0359 AM CST Sun Feb 05 2023 Valid 081200Z - 131200Z ....DISCUSSION... The upper low over the central U.S. will lift northward Wednesday/Thursday as an upstream impulse moves south across the central Rockies, reinforcing the trough position over the central portion of the country. This upper trough should move slowly east through the weekend (Day 7/8). A series of cold fronts will move across much of the central/eastern U.S. through the outlook period. ....Wednesday/Day 4... The surface low and associated cold front will move across the central/lower Mississippi Valley/central Gulf Coast as forcing for ascent associated with the upper low lifts north away from the greatest instability. Latest deterministic and ensemble guidance continues to suggest generally weak (at or below 1000 J/kg) instability in advance of the front, while deep-layer shear would support organized storms. Although some severe risk will likely exist, the degree of destabilization, and the northward extent, remains in question due to poor lapse rates and expected widespread precipitation. Thus, have opted not to introduce a 15% aggregate risk area with this outlook. ....Thursday/Day 5 and beyond... Weak instability will likely remain confined to the near-coastal areas from the FL Panhandle into southern GA/northern FL Thursday/Friday with some strong/severe storm potential with an eastward-moving cold front. Ensemble guidance suggests low confidence at this time regarding the degree of instability, although strong storms will remain a possibility. Thereafter, a mostly dry/stable air mass will cover much of the U.S. resulting in low thunderstorm potential. ...Bunting.. 02/05/2023 = = = To unsubscribe from WX-STORM and you already have a login, go to https://lists.illinois.edu and use the "Unsubscribe" link.
