Subj : DAY1SVR: Day 1 Convective Outlook To : wx-storm@lists.illinois.edu From : COD Weather Processor Date : Sat Jan 20 2024 12:45:05 ACUS01 KWNS 201244 SWODY1 SPC AC 201243 Day 1 Convective Outlook NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0643 AM CST Sat Jan 20 2024 Valid 201300Z - 211200Z ....NO THUNDERSTORM AREAS FORECAST... ....SUMMARY... Thunderstorms are not expected across the CONUS today. ....Discussion... A slowly progressive upper flow field is expected across the U.S. today, as troughing near the West Coast gradually moves eastward/inland, and a second trough over the East advances toward/into the western Atlantic. In between, ridging initially over the Rockies will progress steadily into/across the Plains. At the surface, a continental polar airmass will prevail east of the Rockies, with a 1040-plus high now centered in the Mid Missouri Valley area forecast to reach the Mid-Ohio and Tennessee Valleys early Sunday morning. With the cold/dry air low-level air in place, thunderstorms are not expected east of the Rockies. In the West, a lack of instability suggests that -- despite widespread precipitation forecast to continue spreading inland, thunderstorms are unlikely through the period. ...Goss.. 01/20/2024 $$ = = = To unsubscribe from WX-STORM and you already have a login, go to https://lists.illinois.edu and use the "Unsubscribe" link.
