Subj : DAY2SVR: Nws Storm Predic To : All From : Mike Powell Date : Thu Oct 31 2024 09:13:00 ACUS02 KWNS 301728 SWODY2 SPC AC 301726 Day 2 Convective Outlook NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 1226 PM CDT Wed Oct 30 2024 Valid 311200Z - 011200Z ....THERE IS A MARGINAL RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS FROM SOUTHERN LOWER MICHIGAN SOUTHWESTWARD TO NORTHEASTERN TEXAS/NORTHERN LOUISIANA... ....SUMMARY... Locally strong storms -- a couple of which may produce marginally severe gusts -- will be possible Thursday morning and afternoon, from the Midwest to northeastern Texas/northern Louisiana. ....Synopsis... A progressing short-wave trough initially forecast over the Middle Missouri Valley area is expected to move quickly northeastward toward/across the Great Lakes region through the first half of the period, and then into Ontario/Quebec overnight. At the surface, an associated cold front will move eastward across the Great Lakes and Ohio Valley areas, while moving more slowly southeastward across the Lower Mississippi Valley and southern Plains. By the end of the period, the boundary should extend from the Northeast to the Texas Coast. ....Southern Lower Michigan southwest to northeastern Texas/northern Louisiana... Showers and thunderstorms will be ongoing near and ahead of an advancing cold front -- which is initially forecast to lie from the southern Wisconsin vicinity southwestward to central Texas. With the associated upper system forecast to be ejecting quickly northeastward into/across the Upper Great Lakes region, decreasing ascent and weakening flow aloft is expected with time from roughly the Ohio Valley southward. Meanwhile, weak instability north of the Ohio Valley will be an overall limiting factor, despite more favorable kinematics. Overall, it appears that Level 1/MRGL risk remains appropriate, to cover the potential for a few stronger storms/line segments to produce strong/gusty winds that may locally reach severe levels. Risk should be greatest during the morning and afternoon hours, after which decreasing convective intensity and attendant severe potential is expected. ...Goss.. 10/30/2024 $$ --- SBBSecho 3.20-Linux * Origin: ILink: CCO - capitolcityonline.net (454:3/105) .
