An isolated/marginal severe threat may continue across parts of FL/GA on Day 4/Saturday as a weak surface low and embedded shortwave trough advance northeastward over the Southeast and western Atlantic. But, both low-level moisture and related instability currently appear too limited to justify a 15% severe delineation for Saturday. Low severe potential is evident across the CONUS on Day 5/Sunday in the wake of a cold front that will clear the East Coast and much of the FL Peninsula. Low-level moisture is forecast to advect northward in earnest on Day 6/Monday over the northern Gulf of Mexico as another upper trough/low digs eastward over the southern Plains and eventually ejects across the lower/mid MS Valley. With a prior frontal passage occurring, there is still some uncertainty with how far inland rich low-level moisture will be able to advance. Still, most guidance suggests that at least low 60s surface dewpoints should be present ahead of a deepening surface low and related dryline/cold front from parts of east TX into the lower MS Valley and central Gulf Coast states beginning Monday afternoon and continuing through Monday night. With strong low-level and deep-layer shear expected, both supercells and line segments capable of producing tornadoes, damaging winds, and hail may occur. No changes have been made to the 15% severe area for Monday and Monday night that extends from parts of east TX into LA, southern MS/AL and the FL Panhandle, as latest guidance continues to suggest this region will have the best chance of boundary-layer destabilization and surface-based convection. At least an isolated severe risk will probably persist into Day 7/Tuesday across some portion of the Southeast. Medium-range guidance remains in good agreement that a deep, mature cyclone will continue to quickly advance over the eastern CONUS. Still, too much uncertainty currently exists regarding the quality of low-level moisture and the potential for even weak destabilization to justify a 15% severe area on Tuesday. ...Gleason.. 01/03/2024 = = = To unsubscribe from WX-STORM and you already have a login, go to https://lists.illinois.edu and use the "Unsubscribe" link.
