Subj : DAY2SVR: Nws Storm Prediction Center Norman Ok To : wx-storm@lists.illinois.edu From : COD Weather Processor Date : Wed Jan 31 2024 06:38:48 ACUS02 KWNS 310638 SWODY2 SPC AC 310637 Day 2 Convective Outlook NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 1237 AM CST Wed Jan 31 2024 Valid 011200Z - 021200Z ....NO SEVERE THUNDERSTORM AREAS FORECAST... ....SUMMARY... Severe thunderstorms are not expected on Thursday. ....Parts of the Southwest... A full-latitude mid/upper trough with several embedded vorticity maxima will take on a negative tilt as it becomes centered from the Desert Southwest to west of the OR/WA coast by 12Z Friday. Thunderstorm potential will be diurnally maximized on Thursday afternoon across the CA Central Valley, where meager buoyancy develops beneath the mid-level thermal trough. Weak deep-layer shear should foster slow-moving, pulse convection. A north/south-oriented swath of rain attendant to a low-level warm conveyor will likely be ongoing at 12Z Thursday over parts of southern CA. This should gradually move east across the U.S. portion of the Sonoran Desert through the period. Meager surface-based buoyancy should develop behind this swath over southern CA in the wake of surface trough passage, as well as ahead of it in the Four Corners vicinity amid above-normal temperatures and southwest low-level flow. Overall thunderstorm coverage should tend to remain fairly isolated, with sporadic lightning flashes possible through the period in the more robust, low-topped convection. ...Grams.. 01/31/2024 $$ = = = To unsubscribe from WX-STORM and you already have a login, go to https://lists.illinois.edu and use the "Unsubscribe" link.
