Lower-end severe potential remains evident on Thursday afternoon to evening across a focused portion of the Upper Midwest, centered on the eastern Dakotas to western MN per latest guidance. A shortwave trough over the southern Prairie Provinces into the northern Great Plains should gradually move east. An attendant north/south-oriented cold front should similarly progress across the Dakotas towards western MN. In the mid-levels, a plume of steep lapse rates should be coincident with a belt of enhanced west-southwesterly flow. The warm-moist sector ahead of the front will likely be confined with decreasing boundary-layer moisture along/east of the Upper MS Valley. As such, the overall threat area will probably be fairly narrow and predictability is too low for a 15 percent highlight. ....D6-7/Southern High Plains to Mid-MO Valley... The next shortwave trough that amplifies into the Southwest should remain positive tilt and slow moving, until the weekend when guidance consensus suggests it accelerates northeastward. The attendant belt of enhanced mid-level flow around this trough appears spatially confined, as a ridge dominates from the Lower Rio Grande Valley to southeast Canada. Coupled with muted mid-level lapse rates over most of the Great Plains, severe potential appears marginal. ...Grams.. 09/16/2024 = = = To unsubscribe from WX-STORM and you already have a login, go to https://lists.illinois.edu and use the "Unsubscribe" link.
