Subj : DAY1SVR: Day 1 Convective Outlook To : wx-storm@lists.illinois.edu From : COD Weather Processor Date : Sat Mar 22 2025 19:57:15 ACUS01 KWNS 221956 SWODY1 SPC AC 221954 Day 1 Convective Outlook NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0254 PM CDT Sat Mar 22 2025 Valid 222000Z - 231200Z ....THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS THIS EVENING OVER A SMALL PART OF SOUTHWEST MISSOURI AND VICINITY... ....SUMMARY... Scattered thunderstorms capable of producing isolated large hail and strong wind gusts are possible this evening and overnight from northeast Oklahoma and far northwest Arkansas into southeast Kansas and parts of southern/central Missouri. ....20Z Update... The forecast remains on track, and very minimal changes were made with this update. There was some consideration of adding 15-percent wind probabilities in the current Slight risk area, given ongoing diurnal heating/steepening low-level lapse rates amid a dry boundary layer, though the potential for a higher concentration of severe wind gusts appears too conditional at this time. For additional details, see the previous discussion below. ...Weinman.. 03/22/2025 ..PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 1122 AM CDT Sat Mar 22 2025/ ....MO/OK/KS/AR... Morning water vapor imagery shows a subtle shortwave trough moving across CO. This feature will move into the central Plains today, and the mid MS Valley overnight. Ahead of the trough, mostly clear skies will lead to steep low-level lapse rates across much of KS/MO/OK/AR, with strengthening southerly winds aiding in gradually increasing moisture. By early evening, models suggest a developing low-level jet will focus warm advection and lift across northeast OK/northwest AR, leading to scattered thunderstorm development in the 00-03z time period. Morning CAM solutions are surprisingly consistent in the timing and location of this activity, with storms lifting northeastward into southern MO through the evening. Relatively steep mid-level lapse rates and sufficient elevated CAPE support a risk of hail in the strongest cells for a few hours this evening. Given model consistency, have introduced a small SLGT risk area. ....North-Central High Plains... Scattered high-based convection is expected to develop this afternoon and early evening over the High Plains of southeast MT and eastern WY. Steep lapse rates through a deep layer and favorable diurnal heating/mixing may yield a few stronger wind gusts. $$ = = = To unsubscribe from WX-STORM and you already have a login, go to https://lists.illinois.edu and use the "Unsubscribe" link.
