Subj : DAY1SVR: Day 1 Convective Outlook To : wx-storm@lists.illinois.edu From : COD Weather Processor Date : Thu Dec 19 2024 04:50:14 ACUS01 KWNS 190450 SWODY1 SPC AC 190448 Day 1 Convective Outlook NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 1048 PM CST Wed Dec 18 2024 Valid 191200Z - 201200Z ....NO THUNDERSTORM AREAS FORECAST... ....SUMMARY... Thunderstorms are not expected today through tonight. ....Discussion... A quiescent pattern for thunderstorms is expected over the CONUS today through tonight. A weakening cold front will become increasingly ill-defined as it settles southward over the FL Peninsula. A few, low-topped showers might form along it this afternoon. But the lack of adequate convergence and weak mid-level lapse rates should preclude thunderstorm development over land. Elsewhere, scant elevated buoyancy may accompany a progressive shortwave trough as it tracks from the northern Great Plains to the OH Valley. With a cold thermodynamic profile, this minimal buoyancy would emanate from sub-freezing parcels rooted near 700 mb. A few flashes might occur along the southern envelope of winter precipitation in the MN/IA to WI/IL border vicinity this morning/afternoon. This could produce a very isolated thunder threat, but probabilities appear below 10 percent. ...Grams/Lyons.. 12/19/2024 $$ = = = To unsubscribe from WX-STORM and you already have a login, go to https://lists.illinois.edu and use the "Unsubscribe" link.
