Subj : DAY48SVR: Nws Storm Prediction Center Norman Ok To : wx-storm@lists.illinois.edu From : COD Weather Processor Date : Tue Aug 01 2023 08:57:53 ACUS48 KWNS 010857 SWOD48 SPC AC 010856 Day 4-8 Convective Outlook NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0356 AM CDT Tue Aug 01 2023 Valid 041200Z - 091200Z ....DISCUSSION... Weak to moderate northwesterly mid/upper flow will persist from the central Plains to the Southeast on Day 4/Fri. Isolated strong storms are possible from the central Plains toward the Mid-MS/TN Valley vicinity, though severe potential should remain limited. Deterministic and ensemble guidance is in fairly good agreement that an upper shortwave trough will eject across the northern/central Plains on Day 5/Sat. A surface low will develop over eastern MT and track east across the Dakotas. A cold front will develop eastward across the central High Plains during the afternoon/evening. A very moist airmass ahead of the front will provide ample instability, while vertical shear increases in response to the deepening surface low and approaching upper trough. A band of severe storms is likely to sweep across portions of the central Plains toward the MO-Valley Day 5/Sat afternoon into the nighttime hours. The upper trough will continue east across the Midwest and into the Northeast Days 6-7/Sun-Mon. Some severe potential may continue over parts of the Mid-MS/OH Valley vicinity on Day 6/Sun and into the Mid-Atlantic/Northeast on Day 7/Mon. Severe potential will be influenced by previous days' convection and the timing of the upper trough and surface front. Currently, forecast guidance handles the evolution of these features quite differently beyond Day 5/Sat, and too much uncertainty exists to delineate 15 percent severe probabilities. However, probabilities may be needed somewhere across the Midwest to the middle/upper portions of the Atlantic coast in the Sun/Mon time frame in subsequent outlooks, depending on trends in forecast guidance. ...Leitman.. 08/01/2023 = = = To unsubscribe from WX-STORM and you already have a login, go to https://lists.illinois.edu and use the "Unsubscribe" link.
