Severe thunderstorms are not forecast across the contiguous United States on Friday. ....Synopsis and Discussion... On Friday, a large positive-tilt upper trough will move eastward across the eastern CONUS, with an upper ridge over the Four Corners states. Meanwhile, an upper low will drift south off the CA Coast. At the surface, low pressure will begin the day over NY, with a cold front extending south across the Piedmont and into the northeast Gulf of Mexico. This front will push rapidly eastward through the early afternoon, with dewpoints in the 50s F over the Mid Atlantic rising to the mid 60s F over northern FL. Low-level lapse rates will remain poor ahead of the front over most of the eastern seaboard, the exception being FL. Little if any surface-based instability is forecast to develop, and rapidly veering winds aloft will result in drying. Shear will be very strong near the front, and gusty winds may occur with the expected band of frontal precipitation and wind shift. But the lack of instability or heating will preclude any severe chances prior to the front moving offshore. Just a few lightning flashes will be possible from the FL Panhandle into eastern NC during the day, and perhaps briefly with weak elevated instability from NY into southern New England. ...Jewell.. 02/16/2023 $$ = = = To unsubscribe from WX-STORM and you already have a login, go to https://lists.illinois.edu and use the "Unsubscribe" link.
