Subj : DAY1SVR: Day 1 Convective Outlook To : wx-storm@lists.illinois.edu From : COD Weather Processor Date : Sat Mar 01 2025 19:51:37 ACUS01 KWNS 011951 SWODY1 SPC AC 011949 Day 1 Convective Outlook NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0149 PM CST Sat Mar 01 2025 Valid 012000Z - 021200Z ....NO THUNDERSTORM AREAS FORECAST... ....SUMMARY... Thunderstorms appear unlikely through tonight. ....20z Update... No changes were made to the prior forecast. Dry and stable conditions should limit thunderstorm potential over much of the US. An isolated lightning flash could occur near coastal northern CA but coverage should remain below 10%. See the previous discussion. ...Lyons.. 03/01/2025 ..PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 1022 AM CST Sat Mar 01 2025/ ....Synopsis and Discussion... 12Z observed soundings, recent surface observations, and satellite-based precipitable water estimates across AZ show very little moisture present this morning. A closed upper low over southern CA and northern Baja California will continue to advance eastward across the Southwest through the period. While strong large-scale ascent and cold mid-level temperatures will accompany this feature, nearly all guidance shows a lack of even weak instability until later this evening, mainly on the subsident/backside of the upper low. While showers should eventually move across parts of AZ late this evening and overnight, the potential for thunderstorms appears less than 10% due to the very limited low-level moisture and instability forecast. Elsewhere, thunderstorms are not expected across the remainder of the CONUS through tonight. $$ = = = To unsubscribe from WX-STORM and you already have a login, go to https://lists.illinois.edu and use the "Unsubscribe" link.
