Subj : DAY1SVR: Day 1 Convective Outlook To : wx-storm@lists.illinois.edu From : COD Weather Processor Date : Sat Feb 24 2024 05:19:08 ACUS01 KWNS 240519 SWODY1 SPC AC 240517 Day 1 Convective Outlook NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 1117 PM CST Fri Feb 23 2024 Valid 241200Z - 251200Z ....NO SEVERE THUNDERSTORM AREAS FORECAST... ....SUMMARY... Scattered thunderstorms are possible across parts of the Carolinas this afternoon. ....Carolinas... Notable midlevel short-wave trough is currently located over northern IL. This feature is forecast to advance into the southern Appalachians by 18z, as a 90kt 500mb speed max translates across western TN into northwest GA, then off the GA Coast by early evening. Very cold midlevel temperatures will overspread the southern Appalachians/Carolinas where 500mb values will approach -30C. This will contribute to steep surface-6km lapse rates (8 C/km) within deep west-northwesterly flow regime. While surface dew points will remain poor, along with seasonally low PW values, SBCAPE should be on the order of 200 J/kg. This will be adequate for updrafts capable of penetrating levels necessary for lightning discharge. Any lightning should be affiliated with diurnally-enhanced convection. Thunderstorms will quickly wane/migrate off the coast by early evening. ...Darrow/Lyons.. 02/24/2024 $$ = = = To unsubscribe from WX-STORM and you already have a login, go to https://lists.illinois.edu and use the "Unsubscribe" link.
