Subj : DAY48SVR: Nws Storm Prediction Center Norman Ok To : wx-storm@lists.illinois.edu From : COD Weather Processor Date : Fri May 05 2023 08:39:20 ACUS48 KWNS 050839 SWOD48 SPC AC 050837 Day 4-8 Convective Outlook NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0337 AM CDT Fri May 05 2023 Valid 081200Z - 131200Z ....DISCUSSION... ....Monday/Day 4 to Wednesday/Day 6... From Monday to Wednesday, a moist airmass is forecast to remain in place from parts of the southern and central Plains eastward into the Mississippi Valley. In the central U.S., mid-level flow is forecast to turn from the west-southwest to west-northwest as an upper-level ridge gradually builds northward. Thunderstorm development will be possible each day in and around the vicinity of the ridge, across parts of the moist sector. Isolated severe storms may develop in the afternoon and evening across the northern parts of this moist airmass, where strong deep-layer shear is forecast. Due to the lack of focus within the overall pattern, predictability is low concerning any potential severe threat areas early in the week. ....Thursday/Day 7 and Friday/Day 8... On Thursday, an upper-level low is forecast to develop in parts of the northern High Plains, as an upper-level ridge remains over parts of the eastern U.S. This pattern would be favorable for moisture advection northward across the Great Plains. Scattered thunderstorm development would be most likely in the eastern part of the system, from Nebraska northward into the Dakotas. The same general pattern is forecast on Friday, but with the moist axis a bit further to the east. This would make the most favorable area for thunderstorm development across parts of the mid to upper Mississippi Valley. A severe threat will be possible each day in parts of the north-central U.S., but predictability remains low concerning any potential severe threat areas. ...Broyles.. 05/05/2023 = = = To unsubscribe from WX-STORM and you already have a login, go to https://lists.illinois.edu and use the "Unsubscribe" link.
