Subj : DAY2SVR: Nws Storm Prediction Center Norman Ok To : wx-storm@lists.illinois.edu From : COD Weather Processor Date : Fri Dec 20 2024 17:12:26 ACUS02 KWNS 201712 SWODY2 SPC AC 201710 Day 2 Convective Outlook NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 1110 AM CST Fri Dec 20 2024 Valid 211200Z - 221200Z ....NO SEVERE THUNDERSTORM AREAS FORECAST... ....SUMMARY... Severe thunderstorms are not expected on Saturday. ....Synopsis... An upper-level ridge centered near the Continental Divide will translate slowly eastward through the day as a strong, compact, negatively-tilted mid-level trough moves into the Pacific Northwest. Across the eastern CONUS a trough will persist on Saturday with dry, offshore flow at the surface. The lack of low-level moisture will limit any thunderstorm potential across most of the CONUS. The only exception will be across the Oregon/northern California coasts where cooling mid-level temps over the relatively warmer ocean waters may result in some shallow instability and the potential for a few thunderstorms. The strong low-level jet (50 to 70 knots from 12Z to 18Z Saturday along the Oregon/northern CA coast) may result in some gusty winds, even where lightning is not present. However, overall, limited instability should mitigate any severe weather potential. ...Bentley.. 12/20/2024 $$ = = = To unsubscribe from WX-STORM and you already have a login, go to https://lists.illinois.edu and use the "Unsubscribe" link.
