Potential for severe storms appears low on Saturday. ....Synopsis... A potent upper-level shortwave trough will make quick progress across the northern Plains and move into the upper Mississippi Valley by early evening. A deep surface cyclone within the Canadian Prairie will move east along with its parent upper-level system. Attendant to this cyclone, a cold front will quickly through Minnesota, Wisconsin, and eventually much of Michigan by early Sunday morning. ....Upper-Mississippi Valley Vicinity... Ahead of the cold front, some moisture return is expected to occur. However, this moisture return will have no connection to the Gulf due to a previous frontal passage to near the Gulf Coast. Lack of low-level moisture will likely preclude any potential for surface-based storms. By early evening, strong mid-level ascent, linear frontal forcing, and 850 mb warm air advection should promote scattered storm development from the Mississippi Valley into parts of Wisconsin. Deep-layer winds will be strong, but effective shear will only be marginal given the elevated nature of the convection. 500-1000 J/kg MUCAPE could support some stronger updrafts that could produce small hail. The marginal effective shear and messy storm modes should preclude any greater risk. ...Wendt.. 10/03/2024 $$ = = = To unsubscribe from WX-STORM and you already have a login, go to https://lists.illinois.edu and use the "Unsubscribe" link.
