Subj : DAY48SVR: Nws Storm Prediction Center Norman Ok To : wx-storm@lists.illinois.edu From : COD Weather Processor Date : Fri Apr 28 2023 08:24:50 ACUS48 KWNS 280824 SWOD48 SPC AC 280823 Day 4-8 Convective Outlook NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0323 AM CDT Fri Apr 28 2023 Valid 011200Z - 061200Z ....DISCUSSION... The threat for organized severe thunderstorms appears quite low during the first part of next week, with dry and stable conditions expected for most areas east of the Rockies in the wake of a seasonably strong cold front. A few strong thunderstorms cannot be ruled out on D4/Monday and D5/Tuesday across parts of the interior Northwest, in association with a deep mid/upper-level cyclone forecast to be centered near somewhere near the Pacific Coast. More substantial low-level moisture return appears possible beginning on D6/Wednesday from Texas into parts of the High Plains, as a surface ridge moves eastward from the central Plains into the Southeast/Ohio Valley, and a surface cyclone gradually strengthens in the lee of the central/northern Rockies. However, the highly amplified mid/upper-level pattern will likely remain unfavorable for organized severe thunderstorms, with stronger deep-layer flow/shear expected to be displaced from any stronger destabilization. Predictability regarding the surface and upper pattern decreases by D7/Thursday into D8/Friday, but continued low-level moistening and the potential for some stronger mid/upper-level flow to spread east of the Rockies could support an increasing severe-thunderstorm threat across parts of the central/southern Plains into the lower MS Valley by the end of the week. ...Dean.. 04/28/2023 = = = To unsubscribe from WX-STORM and you already have a login, go to https://lists.illinois.edu and use the "Unsubscribe" link.
