Subj : DAY1SVR: Day 1 Convective Outlook To : wx-storm@lists.illinois.edu From : COD Weather Processor Date : Sat Oct 12 2024 05:26:58 ACUS01 KWNS 120526 SWODY1 SPC AC 120525 Day 1 Convective Outlook NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 1225 AM CDT Sat Oct 12 2024 Valid 121200Z - 131200Z ....NO SEVERE THUNDERSTORM AREAS FORECAST... ....SUMMARY... The severe-thunderstorm threat appears low today. ....Discussion... A highly amplified flow field will gradually evolve across the northeastern Pacific and across Canada today and tonight. Some of this amplification will manifest as far south as the Great Lakes, as an energetic short-wave trough digs southeastward across the Canadian Prairie through the period. As this trough digs, weak surface frontal-wave development is expected along the pre-existing baroclinic zone expected to extend westward across the Midwest states at the start of the period. The low is forecast to evolve across the northwestern Missouri area initially, and then shift gradually eastward with time, reaching the western Ohio vicinity late. As the low progresses eastward, a cold frontal surge southward across the central Plains is expected -- reaching the Ozarks/Oklahoma/the Texas South Plains area by Sunday morning. Along with showers and a few thunderstorms that may evolve over southern Florida, elevated evening/overnight storms are expected to develop over the southern Upper Great Lakes region. This convection is expected to shift eastward across the Lower Lakes/Upper Ohio Valley area with time. While small hail may occur with the stronger storms, CAPE appears likely to remain insufficient to support severe-caliber hailstones. ...Goss/Halbert.. 10/12/2024 $$ = = = To unsubscribe from WX-STORM and you already have a login, go to https://lists.illinois.edu and use the "Unsubscribe" link.
