Subj : DAY1SVR: Day 1 Convective Outlook To : wx-storm@lists.illinois.edu From : COD Weather Processor Date : Fri Feb 16 2024 05:58:25 ACUS01 KWNS 160558 SWODY1 SPC AC 160556 Day 1 Convective Outlook NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 1156 PM CST Thu Feb 15 2024 Valid 161200Z - 171200Z ....NO SEVERE THUNDERSTORM AREAS FORECAST... ....SUMMARY... No appreciable severe threat is expected across the continental U.S. today and tonight. ....DISCUSSION... A shortwave trough at mid-levels will move eastward from the Great Plains into the lower to mid Mississippi Valley today. Weak low-level moisture advection will take place ahead of the trough from the Ark-La-Tex into the mid Mississippi Valley. Thunderstorms are expected to develop along the northern edge of the moist corridor in the Ozarks around midday. Storm coverage will likely expand as scattered convection moves eastward into the mid Mississippi Valley during the afternoon. Instability is forecast to remain limited along and near the moist axis where surface dewpoints should only be in the lower to mid 50s F. Due to very weak instability, the stronger storms are expected to remain largely, if not entirely sub-severe. The potential for thunderstorms will shift eastward into the lower Ohio and Tennessee Valleys this evening. Elsewhere across most of the continental U.S., conditions will be dry and thunderstorms are not expected. ...Broyles/Moore.. 02/16/2024 $$ = = = To unsubscribe from WX-STORM and you already have a login, go to https://lists.illinois.edu and use the "Unsubscribe" link.
