Subj : DAY1SVR: Day 1 Convective Outlook To : wx-storm@lists.illinois.edu From : COD Weather Processor Date : Mon Sep 02 2024 12:40:23 ACUS01 KWNS 021240 SWODY1 SPC AC 021238 Day 1 Convective Outlook NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0738 AM CDT Mon Sep 02 2024 Valid 021300Z - 031200Z ....THERE IS A MARGINAL RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS PARTS OF THE INTERIOR PACIFIC NORTHWEST INTO THE NORTHERN GREAT BASIN/ROCKIES... ....SUMMARY... Isolated to scattered thunderstorms across the northern Great Basin and parts of the interior Pacific Northwest may be capable of occasional strong to severe wind gusts this afternoon and evening. ....Interior Pacific Northwest into the Northern Great Basin/Rockies... A closed upper low approaching the northern CA and OR Coast will continue eastward today across the Pacific Northwest and northern Great Basin. Associated 35-50 kt mid-level south-southwesterlies will overspread these regions through the afternoon and evening. Large-scale ascent attendant to the upper low has already encouraged weak, elevated convection this morning across pats of eastern OR and vicinity. Current expectations are for additional showers and thunderstorms to develop later this afternoon as daytime heating occurs, mainly across parts of central/eastern OR into ID and northern NV/northwest UT. This convection will likely be rather high-based (LCLs around 3-4 km AGL), as latest surface observations and area 12Z soundings show very limited low-level moisture, and total PWAT values generally 0.5-0.7 inches. Even with rather weak buoyancy forecast across much of this area, a deeply mixed boundary layer should encourage efficient evaporative cooling of convective downdrafts. An isolated risk for strong/gusty winds approaching and occasionally exceeding severe levels remains apparent with this high-based convection as it spreads generally north-northeastward through the afternoon/evening before eventually weakening. ...Gleason/Leitman.. 09/02/2024 $$ = = = To unsubscribe from WX-STORM and you already have a login, go to https://lists.illinois.edu and use the "Unsubscribe" link.
