A risk for a couple of tornadoes and damaging thunderstorm wind gusts exists from the central Appalachians into the Carolinas and southern Virginia. ....Synopsis... Upper ridging centered over the Southwest/northern Mexico is forecast to remain in place on Friday, with some modest northward expansion possible. To the east of this ridging, complex interaction is expected between a cold-core upper low initially over the Mid-South and Tropical Cyclone Helene, which will likely be centered over northern GA. Strong westerlies will remain along and north of the US/Canada border, and stable conditions will persist west of the Mississippi River. As such, tornadoes and strong convective gusts associated with Helene will constitute the only severe risk across the CONUS on Friday. ....Central Appalachians into the Carolinas and southern VA... Strong low to mid level flow will persist throughout the eastern periphery of Helene on Friday, over an area characterized by low to mid 70s dewpoints and modest buoyancy. This modest buoyancy could support some deeper convective cores, particularly within any rainbands. The combination of deeper, more persistent updrafts with the strong low to mid level flow could support strong, convectively augmented gusts and/or a few tornadoes. ...Mosier.. 09/25/2024 $$ = = = To unsubscribe from WX-STORM and you already have a login, go to https://lists.illinois.edu and use the "Unsubscribe" link.
