Subj : DAY2SVR: Nws Storm Predic To : All From : Mike Powell Date : Thu Jan 30 2025 09:26:00 ACUS02 KWNS 300656 SWODY2 SPC AC 300654 Day 2 Convective Outlook NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 1254 AM CST Thu Jan 30 2025 Valid 311200Z - 011200Z ....THERE IS A MARGINAL RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS PORTIONS OF THE CENTRAL AND EASTERN GULF COAST REGION... ....SUMMARY... A couple of strong/potentially severe storms may occur over parts of the central/eastern Gulf Coast region Friday. ....Synopsis... An upper low moving across the central U.S. early Friday is progged to devolve into an open wave, which will move quickly across the eastern half of the U.S. with time. By the end of the period, this feature will likely have reached the Atlantic Coast. At the surface, a weak low will move across the Midwest and central Appalachians early in the period, and then should redevelop off the New England coast after sunset. A trailing cold front will cross the Southeast and Atlantic Coast states with time, moving offshore overnight and trailing only across the Florida Peninsula through the end of the period. ....Mouth of the Mississippi eastward to southwestern Georgia... Showers -- and possibly a few thunderstorms -- should be ongoing Friday morning, largely elevated above a weakly stable boundary layer. Weak heating through the morning and into early afternoon may support meager, nearly surface-based CAPE to gradually evolve. Given favorable background shear across the warm sector, a few stronger updrafts cannot be ruled out. Though the lack of more substantial instability should substantially hinder potential for severe weather, a few stronger gusts and/or a brief tornado cannot be ruled out. The risk should peak from late morning through late afternoon, diminishing into the evening as the front -- and associated convective band -- advance eastward across Georgia and the Florida Panhandle. ...Goss.. 01/30/2025 $$ --- SBBSecho 3.20-Linux * Origin: ILink: CCO - capitolcityonline.net (454:3/105) .
