Subj : DAY2SVR: Nws Storm Prediction Center Norman Ok To : wx-storm@lists.illinois.edu From : COD Weather Processor Date : Thu Oct 26 2023 05:22:18 ACUS02 KWNS 260522 SWODY2 SPC AC 260520 Day 2 Convective Outlook NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 1220 AM CDT Thu Oct 26 2023 Valid 271200Z - 281200Z ....NO SEVERE THUNDERSTORM AREAS FORECAST... ....SUMMARY... Severe thunderstorms are not expected on Friday. ....Synopsis... A positively tilted upper trough will encompass much of the western half of the CONUS on Friday. Meanwhile, an upper ridge will persist over the Gulf of Mexico toward the Mid-Atlantic coast. Between these two features, moderate deep-layer southwesterly flow will persist over parts of the Plains and the Midwest. At the surface, a cold front will extend from WI southwestward into western/central OK and northwest TX. This front will shift south and east through the period as strong high pressure filters into the northern/central Plains, extending from eastern OH toward northern AR and north TX by Saturday morning. 60s F surface dewpoints will exist ahead of the front, resulting in modest destabilization. A couple of strong storms are possible given 20-30 kt effective shear magnitudes. However, modest boundary-layer heating and generally weak low and midlevel lapse rates will limit overall severe potential. ...Leitman.. 10/26/2023 $$ = = = To unsubscribe from WX-STORM and you already have a login, go to https://lists.illinois.edu and use the "Unsubscribe" link.
