SPC Convective Outlook Day 1

SPC AC 301931

Day 1 Convective Outlook
NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
0131 PM CST Mon Jan 30 2023

Valid 302000Z - 311200Z

...NO SEVERE THUNDERSTORM AREAS FORECAST...

...SUMMARY...
Severe thunderstorms are not expected through tonight.

...20Z Update...
Elevated thunderstorms are expected to continue for at least the
next few hours from central TX northeastward across eastern OK and
western AR. Much of this will occur atop below-freezing surface
temperatures, resulting in thunder sleet in several locations,
including north-central TX, eastern OK, and far southwest MO, and
mix of thunder freezing rain/sleet across central TX and
west-central/southwest AR.

Isolated thunderstorm are still possible from southern MS through
southern GA this afternoon/evening, as well as across southern CA
from now through tomorrow morning.

..Mosier.. 01/30/2023

.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 1008 AM CST Mon Jan 30 2023/

...Synopsis...
A midlevel low will move east-southeastward from near the southern
CA coast to northwest Mexico by Tuesday morning, with the potential
for some low-topped convection and isolated lightning flashes close
to the southern CA coast. Farther east, midlevel ridging will
persist over FL, with low-amplitude speed maxima translating
east-northeastward from the southern Plains to the Atlantic coast.
Isolated thunderstorms will still be possible along a stalled front
from southeast LA to southern GA, but weak forcing for ascent
suggests that storm coverage will be isolated at best.

The most pronounced thunderstorm threat today will be with the
elevated convection over central/eastern OK into north TX. Regional
12z soundings revealed 100-300 J/kg MUCAPE rooted in the 850-700 mb
layer, which will support a continued threat for elevated
thunderstorms through the day. The majority of this convection will
occur atop a sub-freezing boundary layer, with primarily thunder
sleet in OK and a mix of thunder freezing rain/sleet farther south
in TX.

The "Convective Outlooks" issued by SPC can be thought of as a detailed discussion of the Severe Thunderstorm threat and it's associated risks nationwide. Risk levels range from Marginal to Slight, Enhanced, Moderate, and High and are issued based on the likelihood of 3 major severe weather threats; the risk of tornadoes, damaging winds, and hail. These discussions are often heavily laced meteorological terminology that may be difficult to understand without a background in the field. However understanding these discussions shouldn't be thought of as necessary. Instead, should DuPage county fall under one of these threat levels for severe weather, the response should be to have a heightened level of awareness about the deveoloping weather. Keep an eye on the "Watch County Notification" for any active severe weather watches issued for DuPage county; the "Hazardous Weather Outlook" and "Severe Weather Statement" can also be helpful in explaining the developing risk; additionally, watch for "Active Weather Warnings" and keep an eye on our "Regional Satellite and Radar" products which can be viewed with active watches/warnings or lightning activity.

Day 2 Convective Outlook
NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
1106 AM CST Mon Jan 30 2023

Valid 311200Z - 011200Z

...NO SEVERE THUNDERSTORM AREAS FORECAST...

...SUMMARY...
Severe thunderstorms are not forecast on Tuesday.

...Synopsis and Discussion...
Deep upper troughing is forecast cover much of North America early
Tuesday morning, anchored by a closed low centered over the Lower CO
River Valley. Confluent southwesterly flow aloft will precede this
system across much of the central and eastern CONUS. Expectation is
for this upper low to gradually shift southward/southwestward
throughout the day, while becoming increasingly displaced south of
the more progressive northern stream. Cold mid-level temperatures
and persistent forcing for ascent may contribute to a few lightning
strike across southwest AZ Tuesday morning.

Stable conditions are expected farther east across much of the
central and eastern CONUS as expansive surface ridging (extending
from the central Plains through much of the OH Valley) dominates the
sensible weather. Low-level moisture will remain in place from the
central Gulf Coast into southeast GA and across FL, but warm
temperatures aloft will preclude thunderstorm development.

Showers are expected throughout the day across TX, as southwesterly
flow aloft persists atop a cold and shallow continental air mass.
Modest elevated buoyancy is possible from the TX Hill Country into
east TX, and isolated lightning flashes may occur within the deepest
convective cores.
