Subj : DAY1SVR: Day 1 Convective Outlook To : wx-storm@lists.illinois.edu From : COD Weather Processor Date : Tue Oct 31 2023 04:57:18 ACUS01 KWNS 310457 SWODY1 SPC AC 310455 Day 1 Convective Outlook NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 1155 PM CDT Mon Oct 30 2023 Valid 311200Z - 011200Z ....NO SEVERE THUNDERSTORM AREAS FORECAST... ....SUMMARY... Little thunderstorm activity is expected across the Lower 48 today. ....Synopsis... A large-scale upper trough will sweep eastward across the upper Great Lakes and into the middle and lower MS Valley during the day, reaching into the northeastern states and to the Appalachians by 12Z Wed. Strong northwest flow aloft will exist behind this trough, from the Plains into the Southeast, resulting in a stable pattern for thunderstorms. At the surface, high pressure will be centered over the Plains, with strong northerly winds across the Gulf of Mexico and off the East Coast. Given this flow regime, any appreciable low-level moisture will be largely offshore. Weak low-level instability may develop beneath the upper low where lapse rates will be steep, and with the aid of moist winds across the Great Lakes. The most likely area for a few lightning flashes appears to be near Lake MI as a reinforcing cold front enhances low-level convergence. Inversion heights will rise during the evening farther east toward Lake Erie as well, and isolated lightning flashes cannot be ruled out with any lake-enhanced, convective showers. ...Jewell/Squitieri.. 10/31/2023 $$ = = = To unsubscribe from WX-STORM and you already have a login, go to https://lists.illinois.edu and use the "Unsubscribe" link.
