Valid 241200Z - 251200Z
...NO SEVERE THUNDERSTORM AREAS FORECAST...
...SUMMARY...
Severe thunderstorms are not expected across the CONUS on Thursday.
...Synopsis...
An upper-level trough across the Southwest Thursday morning will
shift across the Plains and into the Ohio Valley by early Friday
morning. At the surface, the frontal zone across southern Louisiana
Mississippi, and Alabama will shift slightly northward in response
to the strengthening low-level flow ahead of the advancing trough
before accelerating southeast Thursday Night.
...Southeast...
Strengthening low-level flow will moisten the low-level environment
ahead of a surface cold front from southeast Louisiana across
central Mississippi and into northern Alabama through the day.
Considerable surface heating is anticipated ahead of the front with
temperatures in the upper 70s to near 80. This may lead to some weak
instability around 500 to 750 J/kg to develop immediately ahead of
the surface front. A warm nose around 750mb should limit any deep
convection within the warm sector and keep it focused along the
front. However, storm motion may lead to storm propagation to the
cool side of the front relatively quickly. Therefore, even if any
stronger cells can develop along the front, the residence time of
these storms in the warm sector may be limited which would also aid
in keeping storms below severe limits. Therefore, the Day 2 marginal
was removed given the latest forecast trends.
