Subj : DAY1SVR: Day 1 Convective Outlook To : wx-storm@lists.illinois.edu From : COD Weather Processor Date : Wed Nov 20 2024 19:51:55 ACUS01 KWNS 201951 SWODY1 SPC AC 201950 Day 1 Convective Outlook NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0150 PM CST Wed Nov 20 2024 Valid 202000Z - 211200Z ....NO SEVERE THUNDERSTORM AREAS FORECAST... ....SUMMARY... Severe thunderstorms appear unlikely through tonight across the contiguous United States. ....20z Update... No changes are needed to the current D1 Convective Outlook. See previous discussion below for more information. ...Thornton/Smith.. 11/20/2024 ..PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 1030 AM CST Wed Nov 20 2024/ ....Mid-Atlantic into North Carolina... Midday water-vapor imagery shows a cyclone over the Upper Midwest that will move eastward across the Great Lakes through tonight. A cold front will advance eastward over these regions. While low-level moisture will gradually increase across NC into the southern Mid-Atlantic by early evening, considerable cloud cover and relatively meager lapse rates will only result in pockets of weak instability. Nonetheless, low-topped convection should still form along or just ahead of the cold front across eastern OH into western PA and WV by late this afternoon according to the latest guidance. This elevated convection is forecast to continue moving eastward over the southern Mid-Atlantic this evening and overnight. However, boundary-layer instability is forecast to remain minimal with eastward extent, which should limit the storm intensity. ....Coastal Pacific Northwest... A powerful upper cyclone west of British Columbia will occlude and gradually move away from the coast. Low-level warm advection will support intermittent low-topped convection across coastal portions of the Pacific Northwest. With surface dewpoints generally in the low to mid 40s over land, instability will remain scant---precluding a severe risk. $$ = = = To unsubscribe from WX-STORM and you already have a login, go to https://lists.illinois.edu and use the "Unsubscribe" link.
