Subj : DAY1SVR: Day 1 Convective Outlook To : wx-storm@lists.illinois.edu From : COD Weather Processor Date : Fri Jan 03 2025 16:09:32 ACUS01 KWNS 031609 SWODY1 SPC AC 031607 Day 1 Convective Outlook NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 1007 AM CST Fri Jan 03 2025 Valid 031630Z - 041200Z ....NO SEVERE THUNDERSTORM AREAS FORECAST... ....SUMMARY... Sporadic lightning flashes may occur this afternoon and evening over parts of the coastal Pacific Northwest and northern California. Severe thunderstorms are not expected. ....Synopsis... Surface high pressure from the Rockies to the Southeast will result in a dry and stable airmass for much of the CONUS, precluding thunderstorm activity. The exception may be along portions of the Northwest coastal vicinity. Isolated thunderstorms are possible this afternoon and evening across coastal OR into northern CA as a strong upper trough moves over the Northwest. Cold temperatures aloft and modestly steep midlevel lapse rates will support minor instability. Low-topped convection in the wake of a surface cold front may produce sporadic lightning flashes. A few instances of small hail and gusty winds may also accompany this activity, but weak instability and modest vertical shear will limit severe thunderstorm potential. ...Leitman/Weinman.. 01/03/2025 $$ = = = To unsubscribe from WX-STORM and you already have a login, go to https://lists.illinois.edu and use the "Unsubscribe" link.
