Subj : DAY1SVR: Day 1 Convective Outlook To : wx-storm@lists.illinois.edu From : COD Weather Processor Date : Thu Apr 27 2023 16:24:41 ACUS01 KWNS 271624 SWODY1 SPC AC 271623 Day 1 Convective Outlook NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 1123 AM CDT Thu Apr 27 2023 Valid 271630Z - 281200Z ....THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS OVER PORTIONS OF THE SOUTHEAST STATES...THE MID/LOWER MISSISSIPPI VALLEY...AND DEEP SOUTH TEXAS... ....SUMMARY... Severe storms are possible today over portions of south Texas, and from southern Mississippi into the Florida Panhandle. Damaging gusts, large hail, and a few tornadoes will all be possible. Severe thunderstorms are also expected across the eastern Florida Peninsula and parts of the Mid-South. Hail and wind are the primary concerns with this activity. ....MS/AL/FL/GA... a large area of thunderstorms has been tracking eastward across the central Gulf Coast region this morning. The overall severe threat has diminished through the morning, but may reinvigorate this afternoon with slow daytime heating and moisture advection as storms will spread into southwest GA and the eastern FL Panhandle (WW 174). Forecast soundings and local VAD profiles show sufficient deep-layer shear for a few supercells capable of damaging wind gusts or perhaps a tornado or two through the afternoon. ....SE GA/FL... Strong daytime heating is occurring from southeast GA into the eastern FL Peninsula, where dewpoints in the 60s to lower 70s will yield afternoon MLCAPE values over 2000 J/kg. Scattered thunderstorms are expected to develop by mid-afternoon over the central Peninsula, as well as farther north with the approach of the convection over AL and the Panhandle. The environment in this area will be somewhat similar to yesterday, with a risk of a few supercells capable of large hail and damaging wind gusts. Storms should track offshore by mid-evening, ending the severe threat. ....AR/MS/TN/AL... Skies are beginning to slowly clear over parts of AR, beneath a cold upper low. This trend will continue through the afternoon, leading to a region of moderate CAPE and steep mid-level lapse rates. Most CAM solutions agree on the development of scattered afternoon thunderstorms from central AR eastward into west TN and northern MS. This region will be in the exit region of a mid-level jet max, and in an area of sufficient vertical shear for organized updrafts. The strongest cells will be capable of large hail for few hours this afternoon and evening. ....South TX... A cold front is sagging southward across Deep South TX today. Low-level winds ahead of the front have shifted to northerly, reducing frontal convergence and likely limiting the coverage of afternoon thunderstorms. Nevertheless, an isolated storm or two remains possible. Any storms that form would be in a very moist and unstable environment, with sufficient flow aloft to promote supercell structures. Large to very large hail would be possible. ...Hart/Wendt.. 04/27/2023 $$ = = = To unsubscribe from WX-STORM and you already have a login, go to https://lists.illinois.edu and use the "Unsubscribe" link.
