Subj : DAY3SVR: Nws Storm Prediction Center Norman Ok To : wx-storm@lists.illinois.edu From : COD Weather Processor Date : Tue Dec 31 2024 19:25:08 ACUS03 KWNS 311925 SWODY3 SPC AC 311924 Day 3 Convective Outlook NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0124 PM CST Tue Dec 31 2024 Valid 021200Z - 031200Z ....NO THUNDERSTORM AREAS FORECAST... ....SUMMARY... Thunderstorms are not expected Thursday. ....Synopsis... A stable pattern will persist through Thursday, with an upper ridge along the West Coast and a broad region of cyclonic flow aloft to the east. That ridge will push eastward across the Great Basin through Friday morning, as a shortwave trough approaches the coastal Pacific Northwest. Meanwhile, an embedded wave is forecast to amplify toward the lower MS Valley/Southeast, with developing precipitation from LA into southern MS and AL. At the surface, high pressure will be in place over the Southeast, with east to northeast winds across the Gulf of Mexico. A secondary surge of polar air will spread south across the MO/MS Valleys late, pushing the moist air mass just off the TX Coast even farther south. While a few thunderstorms may occur over the western Gulf waters, activity over land is unlikely. Minimal elevated instability may develop into the lower Sabine Valley and into southern LA, but the overall probability of rogue flashes appears to be less than 10% within the larger-scale precipitation shield atop the surface stable layer. ...Jewell.. 12/31/2024 $$ = = = To unsubscribe from WX-STORM and you already have a login, go to https://lists.illinois.edu and use the "Unsubscribe" link.
