Subj : DAY48SVR: Nws Storm Prediction Center Norman Ok To : wx-storm@lists.illinois.edu From : COD Weather Processor Date : Mon Sep 04 2023 08:58:18 ACUS48 KWNS 040858 SWOD48 SPC AC 040856 Day 4-8 Convective Outlook NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0356 AM CDT Mon Sep 04 2023 Valid 071200Z - 121200Z ....DISCUSSION... ....Thursday/Day 4 to Saturday/Day 5... An upper-level low and an associated trough are forecast to move slowly eastward across the Great Lakes, Ohio Valley and Tennessee Valley from Thursday to Saturday. An associated cold front is forecast to move eastward into the southern and central Appalachians, and southward into the northern Gulf Coast states. Moderate instability is expected to develop each afternoon ahead of the front, where scattered thunderstorm development will be possible. Forecast instability and deep-layer shear appear to be sufficient for an isolated severe threat in some areas ahead of the front. The greatest potential for an isolated severe threat would be in the Gulf Coast states on Thursday, in the Carolinas on Friday, and along the middle Atlantic Seaboard on Saturday. A 15 percent contour could be needed on Thursday in parts of the Southeast, once certainty increases concerning important factors such as instability, deep-layer shear and cell coverage. Further west into parts of the central Rockies and northern High Plains, an upper-level ridge is forecast to develop. Low-level moisture will likely return northward into parts of the Great Plains, where isolated strong thunderstorms may develop Saturday afternoon. An isolated severe threat will be possible in parts of the central and northern High Plains during the afternoon. However, uncertainty is substantial concerning the magnitude of instability and timing of the front. ....Sunday/Day 7 and Monday/Day 8... From Sunday into Monday, mid-level flow is forecast to become west-northwesterly across much of the central U.S., as a cold front moves southward across the Great Plains. Thunderstorms that develop along and near the front could have an isolated severe threat each afternoon. The best chance for severe would be in the central Plains on Sunday and in the southern Plains on Monday. At this time, uncertainty concerning instability ahead of the front appears to be too great for a 15 percent contour. ...Broyles.. 09/04/2023 = = = To unsubscribe from WX-STORM and you already have a login, go to https://lists.illinois.edu and use the "Unsubscribe" link.
