Severe potential appears to be trending somewhat lower as guidance gradually converges on the large-scale upper pattern. Moderate run-to-run differences and ensemble spread exist with the potential evolution of multiple surface cyclones and timing of their consolidation towards Sunday-Monday. A low-end severe threat from late D3 may linger into early D4, mainly over the mid to upper TX Gulf Coast. Surface-based buoyancy may remain quite weak owing to richer Gulf moisture holding to the south, in conjunction with widespread ongoing convection. The latter will be supported by a highly diffluent upper flow regime in the left-exit region of a very fast jet streak lagging well to the west. Guidance has decent agreement with deep convection spreading east from the western to the eastern Gulf, arcing back to the northwest across the Lower MS Valley by Sunday morning. This should mitigate appreciable surface-based destabilization across the northern Gulf Coast outside of perhaps coastal LA. Surface ridging across FL may linger into D4, suggesting that the low-level moisture influx on D5 will be accompanied by abundant warm-conveyor convection. As such, surface-based instability may be rather limited outside of the central FL Gulf Coast to parts of south FL. In addition, substantially stronger mid/upper flow should lag deep convection when it spreads across the peninsula. ...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.
