Subj : DAY1SVR: Day 1 Convective Outlook To : wx-storm@lists.illinois.edu From : COD Weather Processor Date : Wed Oct 18 2023 19:43:26 ACUS01 KWNS 181943 SWODY1 SPC AC 181941 Day 1 Convective Outlook NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0241 PM CDT Wed Oct 18 2023 Valid 182000Z - 191200Z ....NO THUNDERSTORM AREAS FORECAST... ....SUMMARY... Thunderstorms are not forecast across the Lower 48 states through tonight. ....20Z Update... The previous forecast reasoning (see below) remains the same, and no additions were made with this update. ...Weinman/Smith.. 10/18/2023 ..PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 1110 AM CDT Wed Oct 18 2023/ ....Synopsis... A midlevel shortwave trough over eastern SD will continue east-southeastward toward northern IL by early Thursday. Very isolated lightning flashes have occurred this morning with midlevel convection over MN in the zone of ascent preceding the midlevel trough. However, moisture/buoyancy will remain too marginal to support the addition of a thunderstorm area. Farther south, a modifying air mass will return northward from the western Gulf of Mexico toward southern AR by Thursday morning. Buoyancy will remain weak and ascent will be relatively weak/shallow, so thunderstorm development appears unlikely prior to 12z. $$ = = = To unsubscribe from WX-STORM and you already have a login, go to https://lists.illinois.edu and use the "Unsubscribe" link.
