Subj : DAY1SVR: Day 1 Convective Outlook To : wx-storm@lists.illinois.edu From : COD Weather Processor Date : Fri Apr 05 2024 19:44:43 ACUS01 KWNS 051944 SWODY1 SPC AC 051942 Day 1 Convective Outlook NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0242 PM CDT Fri Apr 05 2024 Valid 052000Z - 061200Z ....NO SEVERE THUNDERSTORM AREAS FORECAST... ....SUMMARY... Organized severe thunderstorms are not expected today or tonight. ....Discussion... No changes appear necessary to the ongoing outlook at this time. ...Goss.. 04/05/2024 ..PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 1129 AM CDT Fri Apr 05 2024/ ....Northern Rockies... Associated with the exit region of the polar jet related to the Western U.S. upper trough, forcing for ascent and modest moisture/buoyancy will lead to at least widely scattered thunderstorms by mid/late afternoon. These storms should generally focus across eastern Idaho and far western Montana this afternoon, and then additional parts of western/southern Montana and Wyoming into this evening. Steep lapse rates and sufficient buoyancy could allow for some stronger storms capable of gusty winds/hail, but organized/sustained severe thunderstorms are not currently expected. ....Coastal Southern California... Isolated low-topped thunderstorms will remain a possibility within the post-frontal environment beneath the mid/upper-level trough, where mid-level temperatures (500 mb) are generally between -25C to -30C. While a couple of east/southeastward-moving stronger storms could materialize through the afternoon near far southern California coastal areas, severe thunderstorms are unlikely given the limited boundary layer moisture and buoyancy (generally a couple hundred J/kg MUCAPE at most). $$ = = = To unsubscribe from WX-STORM and you already have a login, go to https://lists.illinois.edu and use the "Unsubscribe" link.
