Subj : DAY48SVR: Nws Storm Prediction Center Norman Ok To : wx-storm@lists.illinois.edu From : COD Weather Processor Date : Thu Aug 22 2024 09:01:49 ACUS48 KWNS 220901 SWOD48 SPC AC 220900 Day 4-8 Convective Outlook NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0400 AM CDT Thu Aug 22 2024 Valid 251200Z - 301200Z ....DISCUSSION... ....Sunday/Day 4 to Tuesday/Day 6... Heights within an upper-level ridge over the Mississippi Valley will continue to rise on Sunday, as an upper-level trough moves through the western U.S. The ridge is forecast to move into the western Great Lakes from Monday into Tuesday, as the upper-level trough moves across the north-central U.S. Ahead of the approaching trough, thunderstorm development will be possible each day, from the northern Plains into the upper Mississippi Valley. For the three days, the greatest chance of severe storms appears to be in the Dakotas on Sunday and in the upper Mississippi Valley on Monday. Strong instability and moderate deep-layer shear, combined with increasing large-scale ascent, should result in a severe threat each afternoon and evening. Large hail and severe gusts will likely be the primary threats. ....Wednesday/Day 7 and Thursday/Day 8... On Wednesday and Thursday, the upper-level trough is forecast to move across the upper Mississippi Valley and into southern Canada, as a second trough moves through the northern Plains. At the surface, a moist airmass is forecast to remain in place over the Great Lakes region and Upper Midwest. Scattered to widely scattered thunderstorms will be possible across much of this moist airmass on both days. Although an isolated severe threat will be possible each afternoon and evening, the threat is expected to remain marginal due to a large area of mid-level high pressure that is forecast to be in place over much of the eastern half of the nation. ...Broyles.. 08/22/2024 = = = To unsubscribe from WX-STORM and you already have a login, go to https://lists.illinois.edu and use the "Unsubscribe" link.
