Subj : DAY48SVR: Nws Storm Prediction Center Norman Ok To : wx-storm@lists.illinois.edu From : COD Weather Processor Date : Sat Sep 02 2023 09:00:04 ACUS48 KWNS 020900 SWOD48 SPC AC 020858 Day 4-8 Convective Outlook NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0358 AM CDT Sat Sep 02 2023 Valid 051200Z - 101200Z ....DISCUSSION... ....Tuesday/Day 4 to Thursday/Day 6... An upper-level trough is forecast to move from the central Rockies on Tuesday to the Ohio Valley by Thursday, as an upper-level ridge breaks down across the eastern U.S. During that time, an associated cold front is forecast to move eastward from the northern Plains to the Ohio Valley. Ahead of the front, the medium-range models suggest that a moist airmass will be in place. The moist airmass will heat up each day resulting in a corridor of instability ahead of the front. Thunderstorms that form near the front and out across the warm sector will likely have potential to become strong during the late afternoon and early evening. As a result, hail and gusty winds could occur with the strongest of cells. The location of greatest threat is expected to be in the upper Mississippi Valley on Tuesday, in the western Great Lakes on Wednesday, and in the lower Great Lakes on Thursday. In spite of the potential for severe storms, deep-layer shear is forecast to be on the marginal side. For this reason, any severe threat is expected to remain isolated, and heavily dependent upon the mesoscale. ....Friday/Day 7 and Saturday/Day 8... From Friday into Saturday, the upper-level trough, and an associated cold front, are forecast to move eastward into the central Appalachians. Ahead of the front, a moist airmass will likely be in place, where the development of moderate instability will be possible each afternoon. Thunderstorms that form along and ahead of the front, or develop in response to the higher terrain in the Appalachians, could obtain a severe threat. Although a locally greater severe potential could occur in areas that heat up the most, it appears that deep-layer shear will be marginal. For this reason, any severe threat is expected to remain isolated. ...Broyles.. 09/02/2023 = = = To unsubscribe from WX-STORM and you already have a login, go to https://lists.illinois.edu and use the "Unsubscribe" link.
