Subj : DAY48SVR: Nws Storm Prediction Center Norman Ok To : wx-storm@lists.illinois.edu From : COD Weather Processor Date : Tue Jun 27 2023 08:45:38 ACUS48 KWNS 270845 SWOD48 SPC AC 270843 Day 4-8 Convective Outlook NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0343 AM CDT Tue Jun 27 2023 Valid 301200Z - 051200Z ....DISCUSSION... ....Friday/Day 4 and Saturday/Day 5... A mid-level anticyclone will become less amplified across the Southeast on Friday and Saturday, as an upper-level trough moves into the central U.S. A moist and unstable airmass is forecast from the Southeast to the lower Great Lakes. Scattered thunderstorms will likely develop in many areas across this airmass on both afternoons. The most favorable area for severe storms on Friday appears to be in the Ohio Valley, where a mid-level speed max is forecast. A potential scenario is for an MCS, associated with an isolated severe threat, to develop in the Ohio Valley and move southeastward into the southern Appalachians during the late afternoon and early evening. On Saturday, the shortwave trough is forecast to move a bit further east. Convective initiation could again be favored in the Ohio Valley, which could pose a similar scenario to Friday. A potential for severe storms may also develop further to the west across the central and southern Plains on Friday and Saturday. Moderate instability and sufficient deep-layer shear could pose an isolated severe threat. At this time, model spread is relatively large on both Friday and Saturday, suggesting predictability is too low to add a severe threat area. ....Sunday/Day 6 to Tuesday/Day 8... From Sunday to Tuesday, mid-level flow is forecast to weaken some across the central and eastern U.S, as an upper-level trough moves into the Northeast. The greatest instability is forecast over the Southeast and in the north-central states, where scattered thunderstorms will be possible each day. From Sunday to Tuesday, a severe threat potential will be possible in the southern and central Appalachians, and in parts of the northern Plains, where some medium-range solutions show enhanced instability and shear. An upper-level trough is forecast to move across the far northern U.S. on Monday and Tuesday, and this could also provide focus for a severe threat. At this point, predictability is low throughout the Day 4 to 8 period, mainly due to the relatively weak pattern in place, and large model spreads on potential scenarios. ...Broyles.. 06/27/2023 = = = To unsubscribe from WX-STORM and you already have a login, go to https://lists.illinois.edu and use the "Unsubscribe" link.
