Subj : DAY2SVR: Nws Storm Prediction Center Norman Ok To : wx-storm@lists.illinois.edu From : COD Weather Processor Date : Wed Oct 02 2024 17:31:59 ACUS02 KWNS 021731 SWODY2 SPC AC 021730 Day 2 Convective Outlook NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 1230 PM CDT Wed Oct 02 2024 Valid 031200Z - 041200Z ....NO SEVERE THUNDERSTORM AREAS FORECAST... ....SUMMARY... Severe thunderstorms are not expected on Thursday. ....Discussion... Weak flow aloft will prevail across the southern half of the U.S. Thursday, where general ridging aloft will prevail. Over the northern half of the country, faster flow will reside, with a trough forecast to progress across the north-central states and eventually reach the Upper Great Lakes. At the surface, a cold front will advance eastward across the Great Lakes, and more slowly southward across the Plains. Meager low-level moisture is expected ahead of this front, however, with the richer/tropical moisture remaining confined to the Southeast and Gulf Coast states. Thus, lack of appreciable instability should preclude thunderstorm activity with this front. As a weak disturbance aloft drifts northward out of the central Gulf of Mexico and into the central Gulf Coast states, showers and scattered thunderstorms are expected to evolve, from the mouth of the Mississippi River to Florida. However, weak flow aloft will preclude any appreciable risk for severe weather through the period. ...Goss.. 10/02/2024 $$ = = = To unsubscribe from WX-STORM and you already have a login, go to https://lists.illinois.edu and use the "Unsubscribe" link.
