Subj : DAY1SVR: Day 1 Convective Outlook To : wx-storm@lists.illinois.edu From : COD Weather Processor Date : Sun Aug 13 2023 16:56:20 ACUS01 KWNS 131656 SWODY1 SPC AC 131654 Day 1 Convective Outlook NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 1154 AM CDT Sun Aug 13 2023 Valid 131630Z - 141200Z ....THERE IS AN ENHANCED RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS THE OZARKS... ....THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS FROM THE SOUTH-CENTRAL PLAINS TO THE TENNESSEE VALLEY AS WELL AS NEW ENGLAND... ....SUMMARY... Severe thunderstorm wind gusts, large hail and a tornado threat are expected later today especially across the south-central Plains and Ozarks, with other severe thunderstorms across New England. ....South-Central Plains/Ozarks/Mid-South... The Lower Missouri Valley/Ozarks continue to be considerably influenced by persistent convection/MCVs at midday, with only modestly broken cloud cover across much of the warm sector ahead of the primary front. But a gradual trend of thinning/less prevalent cloud cover is noted from the west across the south-central Plains, which should allow for moderate to locally strong destabilization into/around peak heating. Deep convection is expected to develop in multiple zones by late afternoon/sunset, including across the middle Missouri Valley/eastern South Dakota vicinity near the surface low, and otherwise near the south/southeastward-moving front across southeast Nebraska and portions of Kansas, as well as across the Oklahoma/Texas Panhandles and western/northern Oklahoma. Some of this convection, as it evolves across eastern Kansas toward the Ozarks, will interface with residual differential heating and a weak residual boundary or two. Seasonally strong winds aloft will influence supercell-favorable hodographs, with large hail initially the primary hazard. Several clusters of storms should evolve by early evening, potentially including northern Oklahoma/southeast Kansas into the Ozarks, where a somewhat higher-probability for wind damage, along with some tornado potential, is expected to exist this evening, and possibly linger into the overnight. ....Tennessee Valley/southern Appalachians... On the northern fringe of the upper ridge and stronger capping aloft, a remnant cluster/MCV across far southeast Missouri/northeast Arkansas at midday will likely influence additional downstream convective development and intensification this afternoon within a moderate to strongly unstable environment. Westerlies remain a bit stronger than typical mid-August scenarios, and this should influence the persistence and organization of the storms, with some semi-organized multicellular clusters possible. Wind damage will be the primary hazard regionally. For additional details, see Mesoscale Discussion 1981. ....New England... A Slight Risk has been introduced for expectations of a somewhat greater severe-weather potential today. Isolated/widely scattered thunderstorms are expected to further develop through early afternoon along and ahead of the surface cold front. A moderately unstable environment and with deep-layer shear around 30-35 kt will support some organized multicells capable of severe hail and locally damaging wind gusts. For additional details, see Mesoscale Discussion 1980. ...Guyer/Moore.. 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.
