Subj : DAY1SVR: Day 1 Convective Outlook To : wx-storm@lists.illinois.edu From : COD Weather Processor Date : Tue Jan 02 2024 12:34:32 ACUS01 KWNS 021234 SWODY1 SPC AC 021232 Day 1 Convective Outlook NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0632 AM CST Tue Jan 02 2024 Valid 021300Z - 031200Z ....NO SEVERE THUNDERSTORM AREAS FORECAST... ....SUMMARY... Scattered non-severe thunderstorms are expected from central Texas during the day toward the Texas Coast and Sabine Valley through Wednesday morning. A few lightning flashes will also be possible along the coast of northern California. ....Synopsis... A mid to upper-level trough initially over NM and northern Mexico will move east across TX during the period. Upstream of the TX disturbance, a potent mid-level trough over the eastern Pacific will move eastward reaching the Sierra Nevada by early Wednesday morning. In the low levels, surface high pressure centered over the Mid South will move little during the period as weak surface reflection occurs near the TX coast in response to the approaching mid-level wave. A still modifying airmass over the western Gulf of Mexico will likely penetrate the immediate middle and lower coasts of TX with scant instability farther northwest over central TX. Models indicate elevated instability (MUCAPE 100-500 J/kg) north of a developing cold front that is forecast to push east of the coast during the evening. A corridor of developing showers and a few thunderstorms will shift east from central TX through the TX coast and the southern half of LA tonight, and severe thunderstorm activity is not forecast. ...Smith.. 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.
