Global models remain in reasonable agreement with large-scale features, well into the medium range, though differences at smaller scales become apparent earlier -- substantial enough to complicate the convective forecast. Day 4, severe risk remains apparent across the central and northern High Plains vicinity, within a post-frontal upslope scenario. As afternoon destabilization occurs, storms should gradually increase in coverage, and with 40-plus kt mid-level westerlies atop low-level southeasterlies, risk for severe/supercell storms is expected. During the evening/overnight, convection should spread off the higher terrain and into the Plains, potentially becoming widespread as a strong southerly low-level jet develops. Some severe risk may continue into the overnight period. Farther east across the Midwest region, along the advancing front, some severe risk may also exist. However, with modest shear anticipated across most of the area, risk appears too limited to warrant introduction of a risk area at this time. Day 5, potentially widespread/early-period convection expected across the central Plains vicinity complicates the forecast. However, with the belt of enhanced westerlies centered over the Kansas/Nebraska vicinity, severe weather will again be likely, where airmass destabilization occurs away from areas of convective contamination. However, uncertainty precludes highlighting a risk area at this time. From Day 6 onward, decreasing predictability of smaller-scale features casts substantial uncertainty over the convective forecast through the end of the period. ...Goss.. 07/03/2023 = = = To unsubscribe from WX-STORM and you already have a login, go to https://lists.illinois.edu and use the "Unsubscribe" link.
