A few general thunderstorms may occur over the upper Mississippi Valley on Thursday. Severe weather is unlikely. ....Synopsis... On Thursday, a large upper trough will affect much of the western and central CONUS, with a primary embedded shortwave trough developing from the central Plains into the mid MS Valley. The parent upper low will deepen slightly through the period as it moves from the Dakotas into MN. At the surface, low pressure will follow a similar path to the upper low, being vertically stacked. A broad fetch of southwesterly low-level flow will spread northward ahead of the low, but low-level moisture will lag, as will destabilization. While cold air aloft and areas of daytime heating may lead to weak instability over the upper MS Valley, substantial midlevel drying will also occur. As such, the plume of 50s to lower 60s F dewpoints across the Sabine Valley is expected to remain inactive as ascent will be well north of that area. Elevated CAPE up to 250 J/kg may support scattered weak convection north of the midlevel jet, most likely from MN into WI during the afternoon. The weak instability levels should preclude any severe threat. ...Jewell.. 02/06/2024 $$ = = = To unsubscribe from WX-STORM and you already have a login, go to https://lists.illinois.edu and use the "Unsubscribe" link.
