Subj : DAY2SVR: Nws Storm Prediction Center Norman Ok To : wx-storm@lists.illinois.edu From : COD Weather Processor Date : Wed Oct 25 2023 05:09:10 ACUS02 KWNS 250509 SWODY2 SPC AC 250507 Day 2 Convective Outlook NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 1207 AM CDT Wed Oct 25 2023 Valid 261200Z - 271200Z ....NO SEVERE THUNDERSTORM AREAS FORECAST... ....SUMMARY... Severe thunderstorms are not expected on Thursday. ....Synopsis... An upper shortwave trough over the southern Plains Thursday morning will weaken and become increasingly absorbed in northern stream flow as it lifts northeast toward the upper Great Lakes. Meanwhile, an upper trough over the Intermountain West will develop eastward across the northern Plains to the Upper Midwest. At the surface, southerly low-level flow will maintain upper 50s to low 60s F dewpoints across the Mid-MO Valley toward the Lake Michigan vicinity. Deeper boundary-layer moisture will reside further south across OK/TX to the east of a dryline oriented across western TX. After 00z, a sharp cold front is forecast to develop southeast across the central Plains and Upper Midwest, becoming oriented from central WI into central OK and northwest TX by Friday morning. Showers and thunderstorms will likely be ongoing Thursday morning from central TX into central/eastern OK, northeastward into the Mid-MS Valley and Great Lakes in a persistent warm advection regime. This will limit heating, and poor lapse rates will further stunt destabilization. MLCAPE to around 1000 J/kg is possible across parts of central/southeast TX where deeper boundary-layer moisture is present. However, with weakening vertical shear through the day and large-scale ascent shifting well northeast of the region, severe thunderstorm potential appears limited. Further north from the Mid-MO Valley into southern MN/WI, thunderstorms will be possible through the morning and afternoon. Cooler surface temperatures and weak low/midlevel lapse rates will limit instability, and despite stronger vertical shear compared to further south, severe potential appears low. ...Leitman.. 10/25/2023 $$ = = = To unsubscribe from WX-STORM and you already have a login, go to https://lists.illinois.edu and use the "Unsubscribe" link.
