Subj : DAY48SVR: Nws Storm Prediction Center Norman Ok To : wx-storm@lists.illinois.edu From : COD Weather Processor Date : Sun Aug 13 2023 08:31:20 ACUS48 KWNS 130831 SWOD48 SPC AC 130829 Day 4-8 Convective Outlook NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0329 AM CDT Sun Aug 13 2023 Valid 161200Z - 211200Z ....DISCUSSION... Medium-range guidance continues to suggest that a strong shortwave trough will progress from the northern Plains through the Upper Midwest, Upper Great Lakes, OH Valley, and into the Northeast from D4/Wednesday through D6/Friday. Some severe appears probable as the shortwave progresses eastward, particularly on D4/Wednesday across the Upper Midwest where mid 60s dewpoints will contribute to moderate afternoon/evening buoyancy ahead of a cold front associated with the shortwave. Thunderstorms are possible across Lower MI as the shortwave and associated cold front push through on D5/Thursday. However, moisture may be more limited that on D4/Wednesday, and there are some questions regarding frontal timing as well. Some thunderstorms are possible across Northeast on D6/Friday as well, but similar issues to Day 5/Thursday (i.e. more limited buoyancy and uncertain frontal timing) limit forecast confidence. An active northern stream looks to persist into the weekend, with another strong shortwave trough and attendant cold front potentially moving across the northern Plains and Upper Midwest on D6/Friday or D7/Saturday. Variability within the guidance is high, limiting forecast confidence and predictability. ...Mosier.. 08/13/2023 = = = To unsubscribe from WX-STORM and you already have a login, go to https://lists.illinois.edu and use the "Unsubscribe" link.
