Medium-range models show a mid-level low over Baja California moving east and evolving into an open trough over northern Mexico on Tuesday (day 4). Substantial model variability exists in the depicted evolution of this low-latitude, negatively tilted shortwave trough. According to medium-range models, the wind fields are very intense over the Arklatex/ArkLaMiss region and areas northeastward into the Mid South on Wednesday. Large uncertainty exists in the initiating mechanism/s for thunderstorms, the thermodynamic profiles, and the convective mode---all consequential variables yet to be resolved. Nonetheless, an area of interest has been highlighted with 15-percent severe probabilities centered over the ArkLaMiss vicinity on Wednesday (day 5). A seasonably large amount of arctic air is projected over the central High Plains by mid week. It seems likely the continental-polar airmass behind a sharp front will influence the west and northwest portions of a warm sector by Thursday (day 6). Model variability is high by the latter part of the extended period. ...Smith.. 02/18/2023 = = = To unsubscribe from WX-STORM and you already have a login, go to https://lists.illinois.edu and use the "Unsubscribe" link.
