Subj : DAY1SVR: Day 1 Convective Outlook To : wx-storm@lists.illinois.edu From : COD Weather Processor Date : Fri Mar 01 2024 12:52:25 ACUS01 KWNS 011252 SWODY1 SPC AC 011250 Day 1 Convective Outlook NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0650 AM CST Fri Mar 01 2024 Valid 011300Z - 021200Z ....NO SEVERE THUNDERSTORM AREAS FORECAST... ....SUMMARY... Severe thunderstorms are not forecast today. Scattered storms are most likely over the Southeast, and along northern parts of the West Coast. ....Discussion... As an upper trough continues to depart the Northeast, a temporarily lower-amplitude/rather zonal flow field over the U.S. will gradually begin to reamplify. This will occur primarily with respect to a deep upper low off the British Columbia coast, that will drift slowly southeastward. As this occurs, the broader cyclonic flow field surrounding the low will expand/amplify across the West. With persistent moist/westerly upslope flow into the higher elevations of the West resulting from the slow southward drift of this upper system, lightning potential will likewise continue, particularly across western portions of Washington and Oregon and into northern and central California. Meanwhile, showers and scattered/elevated thunderstorms continue across the central Gulf Coast states, in advance of a southern-stream short-wave trough. As the system advances eastward today, thunder potential will likewise spread across the Southeast through the end of the period. In all areas, severe weather remains unlikely. ...Goss/Broyles.. 03/01/2024 $$ = = = To unsubscribe from WX-STORM and you already have a login, go to https://lists.illinois.edu and use the "Unsubscribe" link.
