Subj : DAY1SVR: Day 1 Convective Outlook To : wx-storm@lists.illinois.edu From : COD Weather Processor Date : Thu Oct 26 2023 12:39:20 ACUS01 KWNS 261239 SWODY1 SPC AC 261238 Day 1 Convective Outlook NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0738 AM CDT Thu Oct 26 2023 Valid 261300Z - 271200Z ....NO SEVERE THUNDERSTORM AREAS FORECAST... ....SUMMARY... Severe thunderstorms are not forecast through tonight. ....East TX vicinity... A dampening southern-stream shortwave trough over KS will continue to weaken as it moves northeast towards the Lower Great Lakes, while an upstream shortwave trough over the northern Rockies ejects towards the Upper Red River Valley. A belt of initially strong low to mid-level flow will accompany the lead wave, but it will remain mostly displaced behind an extensive swath of rain and very isolated thunderstorms from the central Great Lakes through south-central TX this morning. In addition, diurnal destabilization ahead of this ongoing activity in TX will be limited by extensive cloudiness and weak mid-level lapse rates. Still, the presence of high-quality Gulf moisture characterized by an extensive swath of 70s surface dew points ahead of the effective large-scale convective outflow suggests that even weak insolation will be sufficient to boost renewed thunderstorm development by this afternoon. Weakening large-scale ascent/convergence and more importantly low-level shear suggest that beyond a very low chance of a strong wind gust, the overall severe threat appears negligible. ...Grams/Goss.. 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.
