Subj : DAY1SVR: Day 1 Convective Outlook To : wx-storm@lists.illinois.edu From : COD Weather Processor Date : Sun Sep 15 2024 05:59:48 ACUS01 KWNS 150559 SWODY1 SPC AC 150558 Day 1 Convective Outlook NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 1258 AM CDT Sun Sep 15 2024 Valid 151200Z - 161200Z ....THERE IS A MARGINAL RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS PARTS OF THE CENTRAL AND NORTHERN HIGH PLAINS... ....SUMMARY... Thunderstorms capable of isolated severe gusts and hail will be possible today across parts of the central and northern High Plains. ....Central and Northern High Plains... An upper-level low will move southward along the West Coast today, as southwest mid-level flow remains over much of the western third of the U.S. A subtle shortwave trough is forecast to move northeastward through the central Rockies. Ahead of the trough, a moist airmass will be in place in the central and northern Plains, where surface dewpoints will mostly be from the upper 50s to the mid 60s F. As surface temperatures warm, moderate instability is expected to develop over much of this airmass. MLCAPE is forecast to peak in the 2000 to 3000 J/kg range in areas that heat up the most. The instability axis is forecast to be located from northwest Kansas northward into western Nebraska and southwest South Dakota by mid to late afternoon. At this time, RAP forecast soundings near the instability axis have low to mid-level lapse rates exceeding 8 C/km, and enough deep-layer shear for a marginal severe threat. Isolated severe gusts and hail will be possible with the stronger cells, mainly during the late afternoon and early evening. ...Broyles/Weinman.. 09/15/2024 $$ = = = To unsubscribe from WX-STORM and you already have a login, go to https://lists.illinois.edu and use the "Unsubscribe" link.
