Subj : DAY1SVR: Day 1 Convective Outlook To : wx-storm@lists.illinois.edu From : COD Weather Processor Date : Thu Aug 29 2024 16:48:46 ACUS01 KWNS 291648 SWODY1 SPC AC 291647 Day 1 Convective Outlook NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 1147 AM CDT Thu Aug 29 2024 Valid 291630Z - 301200Z ....THERE IS AN ENHANCED RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS PARTS OF MINNESOTA AND WESTERN WISCONSIN... ....THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS THE MID-ATLANTIC REGION... ....SUMMARY... Severe thunderstorms are expected this afternoon and evening over portions of the Upper Midwest, with a threat for tornadoes, damaging winds, and sporadic large hail, especially across parts of Minnesota into western Wisconsin. Other severe storms are expected across the central Plains and Mid-Atlantic/Carolinas. ....Upper Midwest/Central Plains... Have upgraded portions of central/eastern Minnesota into western Wisconsin to Enhanced Risk for a perceived greater aggregate severe risk, highlighted by a transition to an increased damaging wind potential by evening. An upper-level trough will continue generally east-northeastward from southern Saskatchewan toward Manitoba and eventually far northwest Ontario late tonight, with southern-peripheral height falls and moderately strong southwesterly winds aloft as far south as the far eastern Dakotas and Minnesota into Wisconsin. Scattered thunderstorm development is expected by mid-afternoon along the front from northern Minnesota south-southwestward into southwest Minnesota and the central Plains including eastern/southern Nebraska into northwest Kansas. The most severe-favorable ingredients are expected across central/southern Minnesota, where 2500-3500 J/kg MLCAPE will coincide with 30-40 kt effective shear. Some initial supercells can be expected with large hail. Tornado potential should be maximized across central Minnesota and possibly far western Wisconsin in vicinity of a weak surface wave/warm front-related triple point, where low-level moisture/SRH will be maximized, somewhat analogous to the South Dakota/North Dakota border vicinity yesterday late afternoon and early evening. Storms should otherwise steadily grow upscale by early evening, with storm mergers leading to quasi-linear segments and possible bows with an increased damaging wind potential across Iowa, and especially eastern Minnesota into western Wisconsin. ....Carolinas/Mid-Atlantic including parts Virginia/Pennsylvania... Scattered multicell thunderstorms are expected to form this afternoon, offering isolated damaging wind gusts and marginally severe hail. This activity will develop in a plume of rich low-level moisture, with lower-elevation surface dewpoints in the upper 60s to low 70s F. That, along with diurnal heating offsetting modest mid-level lapse rates, should support MLCAPE in the 2000-3000 J/kg range. ...Guyer/Jewell.. 08/29/2024 $$ = = = To unsubscribe from WX-STORM and you already have a login, go to https://lists.illinois.edu and use the "Unsubscribe" link.
