The risk of thunderstorms appears negligible across the U.S., Friday through Friday night. ....Discussion... Models continue to 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 British Columbia coast. Precipitation may initially spread inland with a warm front across parts of the Pacific Northwest, trailed by a precipitation band along the occluding front prior to 12Z Saturday. While layers of very weak elevated instability may contribute to embedded convection, forecast soundings suggest that relatively warm air/weak lapse rates farther aloft will generally tend to inhibit lightning production. East of the Rockies, cold surface ridging is forecast to be maintained across much of the northwestern Gulf of Mexico and Gulf Coast vicinity, through the southern Appalachians and Mid Atlantic. Convective potential appears likely to remain negligible across most areas. However, it is possible that boundary layer modification and moistening near the Gulf Stream, offshore of the southern Atlantic coast, may contribute to sufficient destabilization for scattered weak thunderstorm activity by Friday night. ...Kerr.. 11/02/2023 $$ = = = To unsubscribe from WX-STORM and you already have a login, go to https://lists.illinois.edu and use the "Unsubscribe" link.
