Subj : MESO: Mesoscale Discussion 0272 To : wx-storm@lists.illinois.edu From : COD Weather Processor Date : Sat Mar 11 2023 20:51:02 ACUS11 KWNS 112050 SWOMCD SPC MCD 112050=20 CAZ000-112245- Mesoscale Discussion 0272 NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0250 PM CST Sat Mar 11 2023 Areas affected...California Central Valley Concerning...Severe potential...Watch unlikely=20 Valid 112050Z - 112245Z Probability of Watch Issuance...5 percent SUMMARY...Isolated strong/severe storms will be possible mainly during the mid-late afternoon, with a risk for hail, strong winds and perhaps a brief tornado. A watch is not anticipated. DISCUSSION...Rapid clearing of low clouds has occurred across much of the Sacramento/San Joaquin Valley region as of 2045z, with diurnal heating of a moist boundary layer (upper 50s/low 60s surface dew points) contributing to deepening cumulus clouds and isolated showers/thunderstorms. Additional heating should result in MLCAPE of 500 to locally 750 J/kg by late afternoon and negligible CINH. Scattered thunderstorms are expected to develop within this uncapped environment during the mid/late afternoon, with strong westerly mid/upper-level flow supporting a couple stronger storms exhibiting supercell structures. A risk for hail/strong gusts will exist with the more persistent storms, and a brief tornado will also be possible where low-level CAPE/subsequent stretching can be maximized. The overall risk is expected to remain isolated, and a watch is not expected. ...Bunting/Smith.. 03/11/2023 ....Please see https://urldefense.com/v3/__http://www.spc.noaa.gov__;!!DZ3fj= g!-X9NCHIe11a8WUcWH_jDWTvdYEVS90Ub1kBrULJ1_HIh0WJEONV9_UD5cZoVtsSA2X9jIdPCH= bLZKHSVUVSSR_PFYBU$ for graphic product...
