Organized severe thunderstorms are not currently forecast for Thursday across the contiguous United States. ....Synopsis... A belt of strong westerly mid-level flow will overspread the Southeast, while an attendant disturbance over MO weakens as it moves into the Upper OH Valley. Concurrently, a large-scale trough will amplify over the eastern half of the CONUS. A surface low over MO will weaken as it develops east into the OH Valley, while a cold front pushes southeast from the Ozark Plateau through much of the lower MS/TN Valleys. Showers and isolated thunderstorms will likely be ongoing within a warm-air advection regime over the Ozarks in association with a LLJ centered over the lower MS Valley. This activity will likely spread east into a more weakly unstable airmass, as moisture return north into the Mid South/OH Valley will remain limited (lowest 100 mb mean mixing ratios 7-8 g/kg). Considerable cloud cover will likely inhibit strong heating and limit destabilization. By late in the day into the overnight, showers and possibly a few thunderstorms may develop along the southeastward-surging front across TN southeastward into AL/GA. ...Smith.. 02/20/2024 $$ = = = To unsubscribe from WX-STORM and you already have a login, go to https://lists.illinois.edu and use the "Unsubscribe" link.
