Subj : DAY1SVR: Day 1 Convective Outlook To : wx-storm@lists.illinois.edu From : COD Weather Processor Date : Thu Feb 29 2024 05:35:55 ACUS01 KWNS 290535 SWODY1 SPC AC 290534 Day 1 Convective Outlook NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 1134 PM CST Wed Feb 28 2024 Valid 291200Z - 011200Z ....NO SEVERE THUNDERSTORM AREAS FORECAST... ....SUMMARY... Severe thunderstorms are not expected today. ....Synopsis and Discussion... A large negative-tilt upper trough will quickly move across the Northeast today, with upper riding over the northern Plains. Meanwhile, a southern-stream shortwave trough will move across the southern Plains during the day, likely losing amplitude as it moves across the lower MS Valley overnight. To the west, substantial cooling aloft will occur over the Pacific Northwest as a strong midlevel jet noses into northern CA. In advance of the southern Plains trough, a cool air mass will exist at the surface due to a strong surface high over land, and poor trajectories over the Gulf of Mexico initially. Low-level winds will veer to southerly overnight however, and robust moisture will return northward across the Gulf of Mexico. Through 12Z Friday, it appears only elevated instability will be present over land, with scattered showers and thunderstorms most likely tonight from eastern TX into LA. Poor midlevel lapse rates will preclude any severe hail threat. ...Jewell/Lyons.. 02/29/2024 $$ = = = To unsubscribe from WX-STORM and you already have a login, go to https://lists.illinois.edu and use the "Unsubscribe" link.
