Subj : DAY1SVR: Day 1 Convective Outlook To : wx-storm@lists.illinois.edu From : COD Weather Processor Date : Fri Apr 07 2023 05:50:27 ACUS01 KWNS 070550 SWODY1 SPC AC 070548 Day 1 Convective Outlook NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 1248 AM CDT Fri Apr 07 2023 Valid 071200Z - 081200Z ....THERE IS A MARGINAL RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS PARTS OF THE LOWER MISSISSIPPI VALLEY AND CENTRAL GULF COAST... ....SUMMARY... Isolated severe storms will be possible in parts of the lower Mississippi Valley and central Gulf Coast states today. A few damaging wind gusts and hail will be possible. ....Lower Mississippi Valley/Central Gulf Coast States... Flow at mid-levels will be from the southwest today across the Gulf Coast states, as a couple subtle shortwave troughs move northeastward across the region. At the surface, a quasi-stationary front will be located from the western Gulf of Mexico northeastward into southeast Louisiana and far southern Mississippi, where dewpoints will be in the upper 60s and lower 70s F. As surface temperatures warm today, the airmass will destabilize across southeast Louisiana. Thunderstorms will likely develop near the front and move east-northeastward into this unstable airmass. RAP Forecast soundings around New Orleans by early afternoon have MLCAPE near 1500 J/kg with 0-3 km lapse rates between 7 and 7.5 C/km. Although winds are forecast to be relatively weak in the low levels, speed shear above 700 mb will create sufficient deep-layer shear for a marginal severe threat. Storms that form along and to the south of the front will likely be surface-based. These storms could produce isolated wind damage and hail. The severe threat could persist into the evening as a subtle shortwave trough approaches the central Gulf Coast. ...Broyles/Wendt.. 04/07/2023 $$ = = = To unsubscribe from WX-STORM and you already have a login, go to https://lists.illinois.edu and use the "Unsubscribe" link.
