Subj : DAY1SVR: Day 1 Convective Outlook To : wx-storm@lists.illinois.edu From : COD Weather Processor Date : Fri Dec 29 2023 00:36:30 ACUS01 KWNS 290036 SWODY1 SPC AC 290034 Day 1 Convective Outlook NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0634 PM CST Thu Dec 28 2023 Valid 290100Z - 291200Z ....NO THUNDERSTORM AREAS FORECAST... ....SUMMARY... The risk of thunderstorms appears negligible across the U.S. through tonight. ....01Z Update... A large, vigorous short wave trough has emerged from a strong, zonal mid/upper jet extending across the southern mid-latitude western through central Pacific. However, models suggest that this feature, and an associated surface cyclone, will slowly begin to weaken while gradually progressing across the eastern mid-latitude Pacific, toward the Pacific coast, through 12Z Friday. With the leading edge of the stronger mid-level cooling forecast to remain well offshore through the remainder of this period (and generally not forecast to reach Oregon/California coastal areas until tomorrow evening), appreciable boundary-layer destabilization appears unlikely. Models do suggest that lower/mid-tropospheric warm advection and moistening may contribute to an inland spreading band of weak elevated destabilization across northern California and southern Oregon coastal areas around or after 29/08-10Z. However, a combination of weak mid/upper forcing for upward vertical motion and relatively warm layers aloft appear to preclude an appreciable risk for convection capable of producing lightning. ...Kerr.. 12/29/2023 $$ = = = To unsubscribe from WX-STORM and you already have a login, go to https://lists.illinois.edu and use the "Unsubscribe" link.
