Subj : DAY48SVR: Nws Storm Prediction Center Norman Ok To : wx-storm@lists.illinois.edu From : COD Weather Processor Date : Fri Jun 16 2023 08:25:54 ACUS48 KWNS 160825 SWOD48 SPC AC 160824 Day 4-8 Convective Outlook NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0324 AM CDT Fri Jun 16 2023 Valid 191200Z - 241200Z ....DISCUSSION... The overall pattern during the Day 4-8/Mon-Fri period is expected to be characterized by a large, persistent western U.S. upper trough, an upper ridge building across the Plains and Upper Midwest, and a weak upper anticyclone persisting across the Southeast vicinity. Strong storms may be ongoing Day 4/Mon morning across parts of the central Gulf Coast vicinity as a continuation of convection from the Day 3/Sun period. Given uncertainty in how Day 3 convection will evolve, and how far south/east it may track if a fast-moving convective complex develops, 15% severe probabilities will not be introduced at this time, though may be needed in subsequent outlooks. Beyond Day 4, the building upper ridge across the Plains/Upper Midwest will effectively shut down the strong southern-stream flow that has persisted across the southern tier of the U.S. for the past week. Strong southwesterly mid/upper flow will develop ahead of the western upper trough across parts of the central/northern High Plains on Day 5/Tue. Southerly low-level flow will transport 60s F dewpoints into the northward ahead of a surface low over eastern MT. Moderate to strong destabilization will occur given strong heating of the moist airmass from western NE into the western Dakotas. However, strength of vertical shear is uncertain (strong shear may be focused more northward into Canada) and capping may limit overall thunderstorm potential. Trends will be monitor for possible risk areas in the coming days. By Day 6-8/Wed-Fri stronger deep-layer southwesterlies will remain confined to parts of the western U.S. and displaced from deeper boundary-layer moisture/instability. Thunderstorm activity is expected across the central and northern Plains given abundant low-level moisture, and plenty of instability, on the western flank of the upper ridge. However, generally weak shear and a lack of consequential large-scale ascent leads to low predictability for organized severe potential. ...Leitman.. 06/16/2023 = = = To unsubscribe from WX-STORM and you already have a login, go to https://lists.illinois.edu and use the "Unsubscribe" link.
