SPC 0830Z Day 3 Outlook
Day 3 Convective Outlook NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0227 AM CST Tue Jan 28 2025 Valid 301200Z - 311200Z ...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS FROM EASTERN TEXAS INTO WESTERN MISSISSIPPI... ...SUMMARY... Strong/isolated severe storms will be possible Thursday from eastern Texas eastward across the Lower Mississippi Valley. ...Synopsis... An upper low initially forecast to lie over the central/southern High Plains area will shift eastward across Kansas/Oklahoma Thursday, and across the Ozarks Thursday night. As this occurs, a weak surface low is forecast to evolve/shift north-northeastward out of northeastern Texas into Arkansas during the first half of the period, and then on northeastward to Illinois overnight. A trailing front will shift eastward out of eastern Texas into Arkansas/Louisiana with time, and then across the Lower Mississippi Valley to the Lower Ohio and Tennessee Valleys and central Gulf Coast states through the end of the period. ...East Texas to Mississippi... As the surface low shifts north-northeastward with time, and a cold front begins to advance eastward, persistent southerly low-level flow will advect partially modified Gulf air northward into southeastern Texas and Louisiana. Though lapse rates will remain weak, low-level moistening should be sufficient to allow very weak/tall/skinny surface-based CAPE to develop ahead of the advancing front. Elevated convection should be ongoing at the start of the period, moving out of the Hill Country and into East Texas. As the low-level moistening gradually allows storms to become surface-based, potential for damaging winds and a couple of tornadoes will increase through the afternoon, likely maximizing during the early evening hours and expanding into/across Louisiana. Despite the weak CAPE which should hinder the overall risk, very favorable low-level and deep-layer shear will characterize the warm sector, with southerlies increasing and veering substantially with height through the lower half of the troposphere. The main storm mode is expected to be rotating storms embedded within linear bands, spreading eastward across the Lower Mississippi Valley through the evening before weakening overnight ..Goss.. 01/28/2025 Read more
