Subj : DAY1SVR: Day 1 Convective Outlook To : wx-storm@lists.illinois.edu From : COD Weather Processor Date : Mon Jan 06 2025 16:30:31 ACUS01 KWNS 061630 SWODY1 SPC AC 061629 Day 1 Convective Outlook NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 1029 AM CST Mon Jan 06 2025 Valid 061630Z - 071200Z ....THERE IS A MARGINAL RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS SOUTHERN GEORGIA AND INTO NORTH AND WEST-CENTRAL FLORIDA... ....SUMMARY... Thunderstorms, some of which may be strong to potentially severe, will be possible across parts of southern Georgia and north Florida this afternoon. ....GA/FL vicinity... Water-vapor imagery late this morning shows a mid-level shortwave trough over the OH Valley embedded within larger-scale troughing over the East. A 100-kt 500 mb speed max over AL will quickly move east of the Carolina coast by early evening with strong westerly flow over FL. In the low levels, a cold front will continue to sweep southeast across the Big Bend of FL through the early afternoon. Low-level moistening and diurnal heating ahead of the front will contribute to scant buoyancy, despite initially poor lapse rates over the region per 12z raob data. A couple of stronger updrafts or small banded segments of convection may yield a localized risk for a damaging gust or two this afternoon. The enlarged hodographs in the lowest 1-2 km and moistening boundary layer could facilitate weak rotation in the strongest cells. Only isolated to widely scattered convective coverage (mostly not yielding lightning flashes) is expected and this activity will push east/southeast during the day. Model guidance shows convection associated with the front moving through the Tampa Bay area late this afternoon into the early evening, with perhaps a lingering strong-storm risk before nocturnal stabilization and frontal passage. ...Smith/Weinman.. 01/06/2025 $$ = = = To unsubscribe from WX-STORM and you already have a login, go to https://lists.illinois.edu and use the "Unsubscribe" link.
