Subj : DAY1SVR: Day 1 Convective Outlook To : wx-storm@lists.illinois.edu From : COD Weather Processor Date : Sun Oct 13 2024 00:42:36 ACUS01 KWNS 130042 SWODY1 SPC AC 130040 Day 1 Convective Outlook NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0740 PM CDT Sat Oct 12 2024 Valid 130100Z - 131200Z ....NO SEVERE THUNDERSTORM AREAS FORECAST... ....SUMMARY... Severe thunderstorms are not expected tonight. ....Discussion... A swath of elevated thunderstorms across the southern Great Lakes region will shift east-southeast tonight. Variably decreasing and increasing wind speeds with height in the LCL-EL layer will limit effective bulk shear. This suggests potential for elevated supercell structures will be low. On the west-southwest periphery of the convective swath, small hail will be possible given a modest buoyancy plume and steep mid-level lapse rates (as sampled by the 00Z ILX sounding) emanating northeast from the Mid-MS Valley. Very isolated thunderstorms will be possible within the left-exit region of a shortwave trough and attendant mid-level jet, amplifying from MB into the Upper Midwest. Despite scant elevated buoyancy at most, the strengthening forcing for ascent could support a narrow swath of lightning flashes downstream of ongoing convection over the Red River Valley. Potential for isolated thunderstorms should slowly expand north overnight across the south FL Peninsula from the FL Straits. Redevelopment of convection should remain mostly confined to the nearshore and adjacent offshore waters through 12Z Sunday. ...Grams.. 10/13/2024 $$ = = = To unsubscribe from WX-STORM and you already have a login, go to https://lists.illinois.edu and use the "Unsubscribe" link.
