Subj : DAY3SVR: Nws Storm Prediction Center Norman Ok To : wx-storm@lists.illinois.edu From : COD Weather Processor Date : Wed Nov 01 2023 06:31:23 ACUS03 KWNS 010631 SWODY3 SPC AC 010630 Day 3 Convective Outlook NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0130 AM CDT Wed Nov 01 2023 Valid 031200Z - 041200Z ....NO THUNDERSTORM AREAS FORECAST... ....SUMMARY... The risk of thunderstorms appears negligible across the U.S., Friday through Friday night. ....Discussion... Models indicate that another substantive short wave trough will emerge from a strong mid/upper jet over the southern mid-latitude Pacific, and approach the southern British Columbia/Pacific Northwest coast by late Friday night. This perturbation is forecast to support the development of a significant surface cyclone, which may begin occluding while approaching the coast. The occluding front may progress into Pacific Northwest coastal areas prior to 12Z Saturday, with an associated band of precipitation. Layers of very weak elevated instability may contribute to embedded convection, but forecast soundings suggest minimal potential for lightning, due to relatively warm air/weak lapse rates farther aloft. East of the Rockies, cold surface ridging is forecast to generally be maintained across much of the northwestern Gulf of Mexico and Gulf Coast vicinity, through the southern Appalachians and Mid Atlantic. It is possible that boundary layer modification and moistening near the Gulf Stream may support sufficient destabilization for scattered weak thunderstorm activity, but this likely will remain confined offshore. Farther north, a reinforcing intrusion of cool/dry and stable air appears likely to overspread the Upper Midwest/Great Lakes region and northern Great Plains, associated with a deep cyclone centered over Hudson Bay. ...Kerr.. 11/01/2023 $$ = = = To unsubscribe from WX-STORM and you already have a login, go to https://lists.illinois.edu and use the "Unsubscribe" link.
