The risk for thunderstorms appears negligible across the U.S. today through tonight. ....Synopsis... Expansive high pressure associated with a polar airmass is in place across is in place east of Rockies. This high, which is currently centered over eastern OK/western AR, is expected to shift eastward/northeastward throughout the day, ending the period over the Ohio Valley. Associated cold, dry, and stable conditions will preclude thunderstorm development. A similar environment is anticipated across the western CONUS, with high pressure and associated stability dominating the sensible weather. A deepening surface low will continue to shift eastward across the Gulf of Mexico, with strong warm-air advection throughout its warm sector contributing to a broad precipitation field across the Gulf Coast. A few lightning flashes were observed over Acadia Parish in south-central LA over the past hour, but these flashes were most likely created by the self-initiated upward leader process. Given the continuing windy conditions and potential for mixed-phase hydrometeors at low levels, some additional self-initiated flashes are possible throughout the period. ...Mosier/Thornton.. 01/21/2025 $$ = = = To unsubscribe from WX-STORM and you already have a login, go to https://lists.illinois.edu and use the "Unsubscribe" link.
