SPC 1300Z Day 1 Outlook
Day 1 Convective Outlook NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0741 AM CDT Mon Mar 20 2023 Valid 201300Z - 211200Z ...NO SEVERE THUNDERSTORM AREAS FORECAST... ...SUMMARY... Severe thunderstorms are not expected today. ...Synopsis/Discussion... In mid/upper levels, a zonal to broadly cyclonic pattern exists across the CONUS, perturbed mainly by shortwave troughs over the southern Appalachians and coastal OR/northwestern CA. The eastern trough will deamplify and move northeastward off the Mid-Atlantic Coast around 00Z, while the western one also weakens, and moves inland to southern ID and northern NV. Well offshore, a cyclone is apparent in moisture-channel imagery between 130W-140W and 40N-50N. This vortex will dig southeastward, expand and intensify, while approaching (but remaining offshore from) the CA Coast by the end of the period. Downstream from that cyclone, a series of small shortwaves and vorticity maxima will traverse a lengthy fetch of broadly difluent flow. Associated cooling aloft and at least marginally suitable low/middle-level moisture above the boundary layer will contribute to isolated, episodic thunder potential over the Intermountain West through tonight. Low-level lee troughing and cyclogenesis are expected to continue just east of the central/southern Rockies, with a surface low moving eastward out of CO toward the GLD/MCK/IML region by 12Z. One of those mid/upper perturbations -- initially just off south- central CA, will move rapidly eastward. This feature should cross northern NM around 06Z and reach parts of southwestern KS, northwestern OK and the TX/OK Panhandles by 12Z. Associated lift and steepening of midlevel lapse rates, atop greater low/middle- level moisture and lapse rates within a strengthening warm-advection regime, will cause up to about 300 J/kg elevated MUCAPE to develop in parts of central/eastern KS/OK. Forecast soundings suggest the buoyancy, though meager and rooted between 700-850 mb, can extend into icing layers favorable for lightning production. As such, at least isolated thunderstorms should develop within a broader area of showers overnight, especially after 06Z. Moisture and instability should be too weak for severe potential, however. ..Edwards/Broyles.. 03/20/2023Read more
