Subj : DAY3SVR: Nws Storm Prediction Center Norman Ok To : wx-storm@lists.illinois.edu From : COD Weather Processor Date : Wed Dec 18 2024 18:59:01 ACUS03 KWNS 181858 SWODY3 SPC AC 181857 Day 3 Convective Outlook NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 1257 PM CST Wed Dec 18 2024 Valid 201200Z - 211200Z ....NO THUNDERSTORM AREAS FORECAST... ....SUMMARY... Thunderstorms are not expected across the Lower 48 on Friday. ....Synopsis... A large-scale mid/upper-level trough will persist across much of the central/eastern CONUS on Friday, as a significant embedded shortwave moves from the Ohio Valley vicinity towards the Carolinas and eventually offshore. A reinforcing cold front attendant to the shortwave trough will move southward across the Gulf of Mexico and Florida Peninsula. Dry/stable conditions and the influence of an expansive post-frontal surface ridge should limit destabilization and thunderstorm potential east of the Rockies. Across the West, a mid/upper-level shortwave trough is forecast to move across the Pacific Northwest early in the day and weaken with time. In its wake, a stronger trough over the eastern Pacific will begin to approach the OR/northern CA coast late Friday night. Convection with sporadic lightning flashes may accompany this stronger shortwave trough and approach near-coastal areas early Saturday morning, but thunderstorm potential is currently expected to remain largely offshore through the end of the period. ...Dean.. 12/18/2024 $$ = = = To unsubscribe from WX-STORM and you already have a login, go to https://lists.illinois.edu and use the "Unsubscribe" link.
