Subj : DAY1SVR: Day 1 Convective Outlook To : wx-storm@lists.illinois.edu From : COD Weather Processor Date : Mon Jun 03 2024 16:30:22 ACUS01 KWNS 031630 SWODY1 SPC AC 031628 Day 1 Convective Outlook NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 1128 AM CDT Mon Jun 03 2024 Valid 031630Z - 041200Z ....THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS FROM PARTS OF THE SOUTHERN GREAT PLAINS EAST INTO THE ARK-LA-TEX AND ARK-LA-MISS REGIONS... ....SUMMARY... Strong to severe thunderstorms are possible over parts of the Mississippi Valley into the Ozark Plateau and southern Plains this afternoon and evening. A more concentrated area of severe thunderstorm risk may become focused across southwest and southern Oklahoma this evening into early tonight. ....Southern Plains to the lower MS Valley through tonight... IR/radar imagery late this morning shows an MCS over central/eastern OK. This thunderstorm complex is forecast to continue moving east-southeast into western AR and potentially the Ark-La-Miss region by early evening. Latest thinking is this thunderstorm activity will serve as a northern bound for Slight-Risk equivalent wind probabilities due in part to 1) residual cold pool and associated cloud debris from AR-related storms, 2) weak instability noted on the 12z Little Rock, AR raob. It is not clear whether severe potential rejuvenates with this MCS or if it is primarily attendant to additional storm development downstream. Regardless, it seems some threat for damaging gusts will develop into the afternoon/evening. Outflow trailing southwestward from these morning storms will likely provide a mesoscale focus for supercell development this afternoon along the stalling boundary in the vicinity of southwest OK border. Here, rich low-level moisture (boundary-layer dewpoints in the low-mid 70s) and surface heating will drive MLCAPE to near 5000-6000 J/kg with weakening convective inhibition after peak surface heating. At least isolated thunderstorm development is expected late this afternoon/evening near the outflow/dryline intersection (close to the southwest OK/southeast TX Panhandle border), and storms will subsequently move southeastward along the stalled boundary. Substantial veering from low-level east-southeasterlies to 20-30 kt mid-level flow will yield sufficient effective shear (30-40 kt) for supercells. Model-based hodographs enlarge considerably during the 23-01z period, and coupled with the extreme buoyancy, will favor the potential for a couple of tornadoes (perhaps one tornado being strong). Very large hail (up to 3 inches in diameter) and severe gusts will also be accompanying hazards with these storms. A continuation of the evening storm activity or additional storms associated with warm advection, will be possible tonight across southern and central OK yielding a severe risk. ....Southern WI and vicinity this afternoon/evening... No change in forecast thinking from the previously issued forecast. A remnant MCV over IA will move northeastward over WI this afternoon, atop a subtle surface front/trough and differential heating zone. As heating continues through early afternoon, temperatures will warm to 75-80 F in cloud breaks and boundary-layer dewpoints increase to 65-70 F. This low-level destabilization will yield moderate buoyancy (MLCAPE near 1500 J/kg) developing in the warm sector from eastern IA/northwest IL into southern WI. Despite some localized enhancement to vertical shear with the remnant MCV, deep-layer vertical shear will generally remain weak (primarily supporting multicell clusters and low-end supercell structures). Thus, expect a few clusters of storms capable of producing occasional wind damage and isolated large hail of 1-1.5 inches in diameter for a few hours this afternoon/evening. ....Northeast MT/ND... A potent mid- to upper-level shortwave trough initially over the Pacific Northwest this morning will quickly move east into central MT by early evening. Models indicate perhaps isolated storms developing across western ND late this afternoon and widely scattered storms developing farther west into north-central MT spreading east. Forecast sounding profiles indicate weak instability but perhaps an isolated threat for severe gusts may develop with the storms. This activity will likely persist through the late evening as it moves east. ...Smith/Goss.. 06/03/2024 $$ = = = To unsubscribe from WX-STORM and you already have a login, go to https://lists.illinois.edu and use the "Unsubscribe" link.
