Subj : DAY1SVR: Day 1 Convective Outlook To : wx-storm@lists.illinois.edu From : COD Weather Processor Date : Mon Mar 18 2024 05:39:04 ACUS01 KWNS 180539 SWODY1 SPC AC 180537 Day 1 Convective Outlook NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 1237 AM CDT Mon Mar 18 2024 Valid 181200Z - 191200Z ....THERE IS A MARGINAL RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS FOR PORTIONS OF THE FLORIDA PENINSULA... ....SUMMARY... Isolated severe thunderstorms are possible over most of the Florida Peninsula through the late afternoon before the severe risk diminishes by early evening. ....FL Peninsula... A large-scale mid-level trough over the Great Lakes/MS Valley will pivot east through the Eastern Seaboard during the period. The primary belt of stronger ascent/flow associated with the upper trough will move across the southern Appalachian states and be displaced from the FL Peninsula. In the low levels, a cold front will gradually push south during the day and reach the FL Straits by late evening. However, before frontal passage, a moist airmass characterized by mainly 60s dewpoints across the Peninsula, will become weakly to moderately unstable by late morning into the afternoon (500-2000 J/kg MLCAPE). Strong mid to high-level westerly flow will aid in some storm organization and perhaps yield a couple of transient supercells. Models currently indicate isolated to widely scattered thunderstorms developing during day. Some of the stronger storms may be capable of a localized threat for wind damage and/or hail risk. The stronger thunderstorms will likely weaken by early evening with the severe threat diminishing. ...Smith/Supinie.. 03/18/2024 $$ = = = To unsubscribe from WX-STORM and you already have a login, go to https://lists.illinois.edu and use the "Unsubscribe" link.
