Subj : DAY1SVR: Day 1 Convective Outlook To : wx-storm@lists.illinois.edu From : COD Weather Processor Date : Sun Apr 16 2023 00:52:05 ACUS01 KWNS 160051 SWODY1 SPC AC 160050 Day 1 Convective Outlook NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0750 PM CDT Sat Apr 15 2023 Valid 160100Z - 161200Z ....THERE IS AN ENHANCED RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS PORTIONS OF THE MID AND LOWER MISSISSIPPI VALLEY... ....SUMMARY... Severe risk continues tonight, especially across the mid Mississippi and lower Mississippi Valley region. Large hail and damaging winds are the primary risk, though a tornado or two remains possible. ....01z Update... Mid-level speed max is forecast to strengthen as it rounds the base of the short wave over the central/southern Plains tonight. Latest guidance suggests 500mb speeds will increase to near 90kt over AR by 16/12z. This will encourage the short wave to become negatively tilted as it ejects into the Midwest tonight. Resultant 12hr height falls should aid ongoing convection as it propagates downstream. Early this evening, an elongated corridor of convection arcs from northwest IL-southeast MO-eastern AR. Convection becomes more scattered along the trailing cold front across LA into the TX Coastal Plain. Steep lapse rates and modest buoyancy extend ahead of this activity from IL into the lower MS Valley. Ongoing QLCS is surging east-northeast across southern IL and this activity should advance toward the IN border later this evening. Have adjusted severe probabilities immediately downstream to account for this organized line likely advancing a bit farther east than earlier anticipated. Otherwise, trailing convection across LA/TX is producing mostly hail. Steep lapse rates should continue to support hail production with the strongest storms. Strong/severe thunderstorm threat will continue along the cold front as it progresses toward the central Gulf Coast by early Monday. Long-lived MCS that developed in response to a southern-stream short wave has advanced into the eastern FL Panhandle. Well-defined MCV is currently located over southeast AL. Primary threat with this MCS should be gusty winds as it spreads toward the northern Peninsula this evening. ...Darrow.. 04/16/2023 $$ = = = To unsubscribe from WX-STORM and you already have a login, go to https://lists.illinois.edu and use the "Unsubscribe" link.
