Isolated thunderstorms may occur Thursday across parts of the southern Plains and coastal Texas. Severe thunderstorms are not expected. ....Synopsis and Discussion... A cold front will move southward over the central/southern FL Peninsula on Thursday. But, with limited low-level convergence along this boundary, thunderstorm potential appears low over this area. In its wake, a large area of surface high pressure will dominate much of the central/eastern states through the period. A lack of appreciable low-level moisture should hinder thunderstorm develop for a large majority of the CONUS, with a couple of possible exceptions over the southern Plains and coastal TX. A pronounced upper trough/low with attendant strong large-scale ascent will eject over the southern Plains through the day. Even though surface temperatures will remain cool and low-level moisture quite limited, weak instability may still develop with modest daytime heating over parts of the southern High Plains. Isolated, low-topped thunderstorms may occur in this regime as mid-level temperatures rapidly cool with the approach of the upper trough. Other thunderstorms also appear possible late Thursday night into early Friday morning across a small portion of coastal TX as greater low-level moisture begins to return northward across this area. ...Gleason.. 01/02/2024 $$ = = = To unsubscribe from WX-STORM and you already have a login, go to https://lists.illinois.edu and use the "Unsubscribe" link.
