A few strong to potentially severe gusts may accompany a band of thunderstorms across parts of the central Appalachians on Thursday. ....Synopsis... Broad cyclonic flow will overspread much of the central and eastern CONUS on Thursday. Through the period, a mid-level impulse will pivot around the broader cyclonic flow into Quebec while an even more potent embedded mid-level trough rapidly amplifies over the Midwest. As a result, a surface cold front will rapidly surge eastward over the Appalachians and impinge on the East Coast, where seasonal low-level moisture will be in place to support an extensive band of thunderstorms. Given overlapping buoyancy and vertical wind shear, a few storms may be strong to severe. ....Central Appalachians... The cold front will surge to the east during the late morning into early afternoon hours, encountering low 60s F dewpoints over the central Appalachians. Tropospheric lapse rates should be poor, yielding thin MLCAPE profiles in the 500-1000 J/kg range. The lack of stronger buoyancy should limit the severe threat to a degree. Nonetheless, strengthening and veering of the 850-500 mb flow with height will encourage curved/elongated hodographs with 40-50 kts of effective bulk shear. A broken squall line should develop ahead of the cold front, perhaps with transient rotating cells, capable of mainly damaging gusts, warranting the introduction of Category 1/Marginal risk probabilities. ...Squitieri.. 09/02/2025 $$ = = = To unsubscribe from WX-STORM and you already have a login, go to https://lists.illinois.edu and use the "Unsubscribe" link.
