Severe thunderstorms are not expected today or tonight. ....Discussion... Progressive upper flow pattern will continue across the U.S. today, as a trough continues to exit eastern NOAM into the western Atlantic. Upstream, a second trough near the West Coast this morning will gradually shift eastward toward the Great Basin/Desert Southwest, in tandem with downstream eastward advance of stout ridging over the central CONUS. At the surface, high pressure will prevail east of the Rockies. Meanwhile, a Pacific cold front will shift eastward across the Southwest through the period, ahead of the advancing upper system. Later this afternoon, daytime heating beneath mid-level cooling/steepening lapse rates will promote weak/low-topped destabilization in the vicinity of the Lower Colorado Valley. Scattered to isolated convective development thus remains apparent. While the kinematic environment -- well within the parameter space supportive of organized convection and thus severe potential -- is noted, the weak/low-topped nature of the anticipated CAPE across this region should limit updraft intensity, and any associated hail/wind risk. As such, have again opted against introduction of a risk area. ...Goss/Thornton.. 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.
