Subj : DAY1SVR: Day 1 Convective Outlook To : wx-storm@lists.illinois.edu From : COD Weather Processor Date : Fri Sep 01 2023 00:30:56 ACUS01 KWNS 010030 SWODY1 SPC AC 010029 Day 1 Convective Outlook NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0729 PM CDT Thu Aug 31 2023 Valid 010100Z - 011200Z ....THERE IS A MARGINAL RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS PORTIONS OF THE SOUTHWESTERN US... ....SUMMARY... Widely scattered thunderstorms with a few strong wind gusts remain possible across Arizona and the Lower Colorado River Valley this evening. ....01z Update... Mid-level anticyclone has shifted into the southern Rockies early this evening. This eastward shift is allowing higher PW air mass to advance north across the Gulf of CA/northwest Mexico into the lower CO River Valley. Strong heating, combined with orographic influences, have aided scattered thunderstorm development, mostly over the higher terrain of northern/central AZ. More recently, isolated high-based storms have evolved near the international border. Latest satellite imagery suggests a weak short-wave trough over northwest Mexico will approach southern AZ later tonight. This feature should assist convective threat this evening into the overnight hours, with some potential for thunderstorms to persist well past midnight due to large-scale support. Greatest risk for gusty winds will be prior to boundary-layer cooling when updrafts will be somewhat more robust. ...Darrow.. 09/01/2023 $$ = = = To unsubscribe from WX-STORM and you already have a login, go to https://lists.illinois.edu and use the "Unsubscribe" link.
