Subj : DAY1SVR: Day 1 Convective Outlook To : wx-storm@lists.illinois.edu From : COD Weather Processor Date : Sun Oct 08 2023 19:48:42 ACUS01 KWNS 081948 SWODY1 SPC AC 081947 Day 1 Convective Outlook NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0247 PM CDT Sun Oct 08 2023 Valid 082000Z - 091200Z ....NO SEVERE THUNDERSTORM AREAS FORECAST... ....SUMMARY... Severe thunderstorms are not expected through tonight. ....20Z Update... Minor expansions have been made to the general thunderstorm areas across the Southwest based on visible satellite trends, but the previous reasoning remains valid. See the previous discussion below for more information. ...Dean.. 10/08/2023 ..PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 1059 AM CDT Sun Oct 08 2023/ ....Synopsis... A cool, dry continental air mass remains in place across much of the CONUS, and will limit the potential for thunderstorms with the exception of a few regions. Over the lower Great Lakes, warm lake water temperatures coupled with cold temperatures aloft associated with an upper low will support sufficient buoyancy for a few lightning strikes. Steep lapse rates over the Southwest combined with a modest influx of low to mid-level moisture will support isolated to scattered terrain-driven thunderstorms. Given inverted-V thermodynamic profiles in the lowest 2-3 km, a few strong wind gusts are possible. Across the southern FL Panhandle, weak forcing for ascent along a southward-migrating cold front within a weakly capped environment should support isolated thunderstorms by mid/late afternoon. 30-40 knot mid-level flow may support transient storm organization, but confidence in storm coverage and residence time over land is fairly low and precludes introducing any severe probabilities. $$ = = = To unsubscribe from WX-STORM and you already have a login, go to https://lists.illinois.edu and use the "Unsubscribe" link.
