Subj : DAY1SVR: Day 1 Convective Outlook To : wx-storm@lists.illinois.edu From : COD Weather Processor Date : Mon Oct 09 2023 04:36:14 ACUS01 KWNS 090436 SWODY1 SPC AC 090434 Day 1 Convective Outlook NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 1134 PM CDT Sun Oct 08 2023 Valid 091200Z - 101200Z ....NO SEVERE THUNDERSTORM AREAS FORECAST... ....SUMMARY... Severe thunderstorms are not expected today. ....Discussion... Large-scale pattern is not forecast to change appreciably over the next 24-36hr with a deep upper trough holding over the eastern US, but a weak ridge will slowly break down over the Rockies. Offshore flow is expected to persist over all but the extreme southern tip of FL as a pronounced surface front sags toward the Straits. As the front stalls, a corridor of high PW will extend along the frontal zone such that weak buoyancy will persist across this region despite the weak lapse rates. Some risk for lightning will exist with convection that evolves near the front. Farther west, strong surface heating is once again expected across the lower desert regions of the southwestern US. As a result, isolated thunderstorms will develop, especially over the higher elevations of AZ into NM. This activity will be strongly diurnal in nature and should wane with loss of heating. Leading edge of large-scale ascent will spread across the northern inter-mountain region later in the day1 period. While low-level moisture will be scant across this region, steep lapse rates will result in weak buoyancy ahead of a surface front that should advance into the northern Rockies Monday evening. Weak convection, and possibly a few flashes of lightning, are expected with this activity. ...Darrow/Weinman.. 10/09/2023 $$ = = = To unsubscribe from WX-STORM and you already have a login, go to https://lists.illinois.edu and use the "Unsubscribe" link.
