Subj : DAY48SVR: Nws Storm Prediction Center Norman Ok To : wx-storm@lists.illinois.edu From : COD Weather Processor Date : Tue Oct 24 2023 08:54:05 ACUS48 KWNS 240854 SWOD48 SPC AC 240852 Day 4-8 Convective Outlook NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0352 AM CDT Tue Oct 24 2023 Valid 271200Z - 011200Z ....DISCUSSION... A large-scale upper trough over the western U.S. on Day 4/Fri will shift east across the Plains toward the MS Valley vicinity through Day 6/Sun. At the surface, a cold front will slowly shift southeast across parts of the central/southern Plains, Mid-MS Valley and Great Lakes vicinity on Day 4/Fri before stalling on Day 5/Sat. Given persistent moderate deep-layer southwesterly flow atop a moist boundary-layer, areas of heavy rain and thunderstorms will continue from OK/KS into the Mid-MS/Lower OH Valley. However, destabilization will be greatly limited by ongoing precipitation, cloudiness and poor lapse rates. This should limit severe potential, though if any stronger heating can occur, some strong storms are possible somewhere from Oklahoma toward the Mid-MS Valley mainly on Day 4/Fri. By Day 6/Sun, the stalled front should surge south and east toward the western Gulf of Mexico and the Appalachians as the western upper trough ejects east and strong surface high pressure builds south over the Rockies and into the Plains by Day 7/Mon morning. Large spread among guidance beyond Sunday limits predictability. But given a rather strong cold frontal surge and surface high pressure building east across the central U.S., severe potential will likely be low Day 7-8/Mon-Tue. ...Leitman.. 10/24/2023 = = = To unsubscribe from WX-STORM and you already have a login, go to https://lists.illinois.edu and use the "Unsubscribe" link.
