Subj : DAY48SVR: Nws Storm Prediction Center Norman Ok To : wx-storm@lists.illinois.edu From : COD Weather Processor Date : Sat Aug 26 2023 08:54:09 ACUS48 KWNS 260854 SWOD48 SPC AC 260852 Day 4-8 Convective Outlook NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0352 AM CDT Sat Aug 26 2023 Valid 291200Z - 031200Z ....DISCUSSION... An upper trough should advance eastward across the Northwest and northern Rockies on Day 4/Tuesday. Enhanced mid-level winds and associated deep-layer shear should provide some updraft organization to thunderstorms that can form across interior portions of the Pacific Northwest into the northern Rockies, mainly Tuesday afternoon and evening. While low-level moisture and instability appear a bit too limited to support inclusion of a 15% severe area at this time, at least low severe probabilities may be needed in a future outlook across parts of this area if current model trends continue. The National Hurricane Center is forecasting a high likelihood of tropical cyclone development by early next week across the northwestern Caribbean and eastern Gulf of Mexico. Latest guidance continues to show some variability in the location and intensity of this forecast tropical cyclone. Still, it appears increasingly probable that strong low-level winds/shear will impact parts of FL and possibly coastal GA/SC, perhaps beginning as early as Tuesday night, and continuing through Day 5/Wednesday. The development of sufficient instability to support low-topped supercells in outer rain bands remains quite uncertain across these areas. Even so, some potential for tornadoes associated with this forecast tropical cyclone will probably warrant low severe probabilities in later outlooks for both Tuesday and Wednesday. ...Gleason.. 08/26/2023 = = = To unsubscribe from WX-STORM and you already have a login, go to https://lists.illinois.edu and use the "Unsubscribe" link.
