Models have decent run-to-run consistency, showing a positive-tilt shortwave trough moving out of NM and into the southern Plains on Wed/D4, with moderate west/southwest flow aloft from TX to the central Gulf Coast states. This feature is then expected to continue across the lower MS Valley on Thu/D5, and into the Southeast by Fri/D6. Given the positive tilt to this trough, high pressure likely will continue southward across the southern Plains and Gulf Coast states, which will shunt the surface low toward lower latitudes and eventually over the Gulf of Mexico. In addition, although the air mass will be moist and unstable (especially TX on Wed/D4), area of rain and storms may be ongoing throughout much of the period. This reduces predictability, as any severe risk on Wed/D4 and Thu/D5 will depend on instability. While midlevel winds appear favorable at around 40 kt, winds in the low levels will not be very strong. Predictability and potential decrease as the trough move across the Gulf Coast and Southeast, with widespread precipitation and marginal instability. ...Jewell.. 04/23/2023 = = = To unsubscribe from WX-STORM and you already have a login, go to https://lists.illinois.edu and use the "Unsubscribe" link.
