Subj : DAY2SVR: Marginal Risk To : All From : Mike Powell Date : Thu Sep 28 2023 08:54:00 ACUS02 KWNS 280550 SWODY2 SPC AC 280548 Day 2 Convective Outlook NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 1248 AM CDT Thu Sep 28 2023 Valid 291200Z - 301200Z ....THERE IS A MARGINAL RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS OVER PARTS OF THE NORTHERN PLAINS AND UPPER MISSISSIPPI VALLEY... ....SUMMARY... Scattered storms may produce hail or isolated severe gusts over parts of the northern Plains and upper Mississippi Valley on Friday. ....Northern Plains and Upper MS Valley... With high pressure over much of the East, severe weather chances will be focused over the northern Plains and upper MS Valley, ahead of an upper trough and where moisture will be of favorable magnitude. Aloft, a progressive lead wave is forecast to affect the Dakotas and northern MN during the first half of the day, enhancing deep-layer shear and aiding lift. An inverted surface trough will extend northeastward out of KS and NE and into western MN during the day, and this will also be near the axis of strongest heating. Winds around 850 mb will increase out of the southwest at 30-40 kt in association with the aforementioned midlevel wave, and this will likely enhance warm advection north of the surface trough/wind shift over the eastern Dakotas and western MN through midday. Elevated thunderstorms are likely, some potentially producing marginally severe hail due to cool temperatures aloft. Later in the day as the surface trough heats, the air mass will become unstable and uncapped. However, overall lift will not be very strong in the wake of the early day disturbance. As such, and with rising heights, rather disorganized and perhaps only isolated severe storms are anticipated during the diurnal heating maximum, from near the MO River into MN. Both hail and locally strong gusts will be possible. ...Jewell.. 09/28/2023 $$ --- SBBSecho 3.14-Linux * Origin: Ilink: CCO - capitolcityonline.net (454:1/105) .
