DAY 1 CONVECTIVE OUTLOOK
NWS STORM PREDICTION CENTER NORMAN OK
0641 PM CST SUN NOV 23 2008

VALID 240100Z - 241200Z

...NO SVR TSTM AREAS FORECAST...

...LOWER OH VALLEY INTO ARKLATEX...

EVENING WATER VAPOR IMAGERY SHOWS WELL-DEFINED SHORT WAVE TROUGH
FROM THE UPPER MS VALLEY SWWD INTO CNTRL HIGH PLAINS DEVELOPING
SEWD. LATEST MODEL GUIDANCE REMAINS CONSISTENT IN INDICATING THAT
THIS FEATURE WILL UNDERGO FURTHER AMPLIFICATION TONIGHT WHILE
TRANSLATING THROUGH THE MID/LOWER MO VALLEY. IN THE LOW
LEVELS...COLD FRONT CURRENTLY FROM THE UPPER MS VALLEY SSWWD THROUGH
ERN KS INTO WRN PARTS OF OK/TX WILL CONTINUE EWD/SEWD WITH THIS
BOUNDARY EXTENDING FROM THE MID MS VALLEY INTO ARKLATEX BY MONDAY
MORNING.

SURFACE OBSERVATIONAL TRENDS AND GPS IPW DATA SHOW MOISTURE STEADILY
INCREASING ACROSS CNTRL/ERN TX INTO ERN OK/WRN AR ALONG AND S OF
DIFFUSE WARM FRONT STRETCHED FROM INTERSECTION WITH COLD FRONT OVER
N-CNTRL OK ESEWD INTO CNTRL MS. SWLY LLJ OBSERVED FROM THE CNTRL
PLAINS INTO MID MS VALLEY WILL BE MAINTAINED OVERNIGHT /EVEN
INTENSIFY/ WHICH SHOULD CONTINUE TO ENHANCE THE NEWD FLUX OF AN
INCREASINGLY MOIST AIR MASS. THIS PROCESS IS OCCURRING BENEATH A
PRONOUNCED WARM LAYER ABOVE 600 MB /PER 00Z SHV AND LIT SOUNDINGS/
WHICH IS EFFECTIVELY LIMITING CONVECTIVE INSTABILITY TO ONLY A VERY
SHALLOW LAYER.

HEIGHT FALLS/DYNAMIC FORCING ASSOCIATED WITH APPROACH OF MIDLEVEL
TROUGH ARE EXPECTED TO RESULT IN A NET COOLING OF THIS WARM LAYER
WITH ELEVATED TSTMS BECOMING INCREASINGLY LIKELY NEAR OR AFTER
24/06Z WITHIN ZONE OF DEEPER ASCENT COINCIDENT WITH LLJ AXIS. THIS
ACTIVITY WILL PERSIST INTO MONDAY MORNING IN ADVANCE OF COLD FRONT
MOVING SEWD ACROSS THE REGION. GIVEN THE WEAK INSTABILITY...NO
SEVERE WEATHER IS FORECAST.

NWS STORM PREDICTION CENTER NORMAN OK
1127 AM CST SUN NOV 23 2008

VALID 241200Z - 251200Z

...NO SVR TSTM AREAS FORECAST...

...SYNOPSIS...
MODELS ARE CONSISTENT INDICATING A CLOSED LOW/TROUGH LOCATED OVER
MANITOBA/NWRN ALBERTA AT 12Z MONDAY WILL DEVELOP SEWD THROUGH THE
GREAT LAKES TO OH VALLEY DURING DAY 2 PERIOD. A SHORT WAVE TROUGH
IS EXPECTED TO TRANSLATE EWD AHEAD OF THE CLOSED LOW THROUGH THE OH/
TN VALLEYS TO MID ATLANTIC REGION BY 12Z TUESDAY. A COLD FRONT
ATTENDANT TO THE LARGE SCALE UPPER TROUGH WILL PROGRESS EWD THROUGH
THE OH/TN VALLEYS REACHING THE ERN SEABOARD LATE IN THE PERIOD.
MEANWHILE...THE SRN EXTENT OF THE FRONT WILL MOVE SEWD THROUGH SRN
TX AND THE LOWER MS VALLEY REACHING CENTRAL AL...SRN LA TO THE
MIDDLE TX COAST BY MONDAY EVENING.

...UPPER TX COAST/SRN LA/SWRN MS...
STRONGER FORCING FOR ASCENT WITH THE LEAD OH/TN VALLEY SHORT WAVE
TROUGH SHOULD REMAIN NORTH OF THE AREA OF CONCERN. HOWEVER...A LOBE
OF VORTICITY EXTENDING SWD FROM THIS TROUGH INTO THE LOWER MS VALLEY
COMBINED WITH A SRN STREAM IMPULSE EMANATING FROM NWRN MEXICO SHOULD
PROVE FAVORABLE FOR SUFFICIENT VERTICAL MOTION TO WEAKEN A MID LEVEL
INVERSION. LOW LEVEL MOISTURE/WARM AIR ADVECTION ACROSS ERN TX/
LOWER MS VALLEY AHEAD OF THE PROGRESSIVE COLD FRONT WILL MAINTAIN
DESTABILIZATION. DESPITE SOME COOLING AT MID LEVELS WITH THE
PASSAGE OF THE TROUGH...THE LACK OF STRONGER SURFACE HEATING DUE TO
EXTENSIVE PRE-FRONTAL CLOUDINESS/PRECIPITATION SHOULD RESULT IN WEAK
INSTABILITY /MLCAPE AOB 500 J/KG/.

AT 12Z MONDAY...ELEVATED TSTMS ARE EXPECTED TO BE ONGOING FROM NERN
TX INTO AR. ALTHOUGH FORCING FOR ASCENT AND INSTABILITY SHOULD BE
WEAK ACROSS THE UPPER TX COAST AND LOWER MS VALLEY...THE POTENTIAL
WILL EXIST FOR ADDITIONAL TSTMS DEVELOPING ALONG AND AHEAD OF THE
FRONT. ACTIVITY SHOULD BECOME SURFACE BASED WITHIN ZONE OF
CONTINUED MOISTURE RETURN AND SOME SURFACE HEATING. WEAK
INSTABILITY IS EXPECTED TO LIMIT THE SEVERE POTENTIAL. HOWEVER...
FORECAST HODOGRAPHS INDICATE SUFFICIENT DIRECTIONAL SHEAR /SFC-1 KM
SHEAR 20-25 KT/ AND EFFECTIVE BULK SHEAR OF 35 KT FOR A FEW
ORGANIZED STORMS PRODUCING AN ISOLATED TORNADO AND/OR WIND DAMAGE.

...NO SVR TSTM AREAS FORECAST...

...SYNOPSIS...
PROGRESSIVE PATTERN WILL PREVAIL OVER THE LWR 48 THIS PERIOD AS
PACIFIC TROUGH NOW NEAR 140W EVOLVES INTO AN UPR LOW OFF THE CNTRL
CA CST. SHORT WAVE IMPULSE NOW OVER THE NRN HI PLNS WILL AMPLIFY
ESE INTO THE MID/UPR MS VLY AS DEEP DOWNSTREAM SYSTEM WITHDRAWS
FARTHER N INTO LABRADOR. PLNS TROUGH WILL PARTLY PHASE WITH UPR LOW
NOW IN SK/MB...RESULTING IN SUBSTANTIAL HEIGHT FALLS FROM THE
NRN/CNTRL PLNS INTO THE UPR GRT LKS/MID MS VLY. AT THE SFC...
ASSOCIATED COLD FRONT WILL MOVE SE ACROSS THE NRN/CNTRL PLNS TODAY
...AND THE MID MS VLY/SRN PLNS OVERNIGHT.

...ARKLATEX INTO LWR MS VLY...
SFC AND SATELLITE PW DATA SHOW LOW-LVL MOISTURE CONTINUING TO SPREAD
SLOWLY NNE ACROSS E TX. AMPLIFICATION OF PLNS TROUGH WILL SUPPORT
STRENGTHENING SWLY LLJ FROM E TX INTO THE OZARK PLATEAU. THIS WILL
ENHANCE NEWD MOISTURE FLUX AHEAD OF APPROACHING COLD FRONT.
INITIALLY...MOISTURE WILL BE LIMITED AND WILL REMAIN CAPPED BENEATH
POOR MIDLEVEL LAPSE RATES...WITH ONLY A SHALLOW LAYER OF CONVECTIVE
INSTABILITY DEVELOPING TODAY IN PRE-FRONTAL WARM SECTOR. THUS...NO
TSTMS ARE EXPECTED THROUGH THE DAY.

SWLY LLJ WILL BE MAINTAINED/SLIGHTLY INTENSIFY TONIGHT FROM THE
ARKLATEX NE INTO THE TN/LWR OH VLYS...SUPPORTING CONTINUED NEWD
MOISTURE FLUX. THIS WILL OCCUR BENEATH PLUME OF STEEPENING MID LVL
LAPSE RATES SPREADING E AHEAD OF AMPLIFYING UPR TROUGH.
DIFFERENTIAL ADVECTION WILL RESULT IN A GRADUALLY DEEPENING UNSTABLE
LAYER...WHERE MUCAPE MAY APPROACH 500-600 J/KG. THIS
DESTABILIZATION...ALONG WITH INCREASING UVV...MAY FOSTER DEVELOPMENT
OF ELEVATED CONVECTION/TSTMS BASED AROUND 850 MB LATE TONIGHT
THROUGH EARLY MONDAY FROM THE ARKLATEX INTO THE LWR MS VLY. MODEST
INSTABILITY SHOULD LIMIT SVR THREAT...ALTHOUGH SMALL HAIL COULD
ACCOMPANY A FEW STORMS.

...DISCUSSION...
MEDIUM RANGE MODELS ARE IN GOOD AGREEMENT OF SHIFTING AN UPPER
TROUGH EWD FROM CA ON WED/DAY 4 INTO THE KS/OK AREA BY FRI/DAY 6.
HOWEVER...DIFFERENCES IN THE EVOLUTION OF THE SYNOPTIC PATTERN
ACROSS THE CONUS YIELDS A CLOSED LOW ON THE ECMWF ON FRI...WITH AN
OPEN WAVE ON THE MREF. ALTHOUGH THE LOCATION OF SURFACE WAVE
DEVELOPMENT VARIES...ALL MEDIUM RANGE MODELS SUPPORT RICHER GULF
MOISTURE ADVECTING NWD INTO TX AND THE LOWER/MID MS VALLEY FRI/FRI
NIGHT. THE STRENGTH OF THE UPPER SYSTEM AND INCREASING BOUNDARY
LAYER MOISTURE SUGGESTS AT LEAST A LOW END THREAT FOR SEVERE STORMS
IN TX ON FRI AND INTO THE LOWER MS VALLEY FRI NIGHT/SAT. UNCERTAINTY
REGARDING THE DEGREE OF INSTABILITY AND DIFFERENCES OF MODEL
FEATURES PRECLUDE A SEVERE OUTLOOK ATTM.

...NO SVR TSTM AREAS FORECAST...

...SYNOPSIS...
UPPER TROUGH AXIS IS FORECAST TO EXTEND FROM MN/WI SWD INTO THE MID
MS VALLEY MONDAY MORNING...AND THEN AMPLIFY ESEWD INTO THE ERN CONUS
THROUGHOUT THE PERIOD...AS A 90-100 KT MID LEVEL JET MAX ROTATES
SEWD ALONG THE SWRN SIDE OF THE TROUGH. ELEVATED CONVECTION IS
EXPECTED TO BE ONGOING AT THE START OF THE PERIOD ACROSS PORTIONS OF
THE MID MS VALLEY REGION...WITHIN ZONE OF LOW LEVEL WARM ADVECTION
AND LARGE SCALE LIFT ASSOCIATED WITH UPPER TROUGH. STRONG MASS
CONVERGENCE AND VERTICAL MOTION WILL SUPPORT THIS PCPN EXPANDING EWD
INTO THE ATLANTIC COASTAL STATES. EVEN THOUGH THE BOUNDARY LAYER
WILL BE SLOWLY MOISTENING...STABLE VERTICAL TEMPERATURE PROFILES
SHOULD BE UNSUPPORTIVE OF DEEP ENOUGH CONVECTION FOR LIGHTNING.

FURTHER SOUTH THROUGH THE GULF COASTAL REGION...THE STRONGER LOW
LEVEL MASS CONVERGENCE WILL BE SHIFTING EWD AWAY FROM THIS AREA.
HOWEVER...FRONTAL CONVERGENCE COMBINED WITH DIURNAL HEATING AND
MUCAPES AROUND 500 MB MAY BE SUFFICIENT FOR SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS
AS THE COLD FRONT SWEEPS SEWD THROUGH THE REGION.

VALID 231200Z - 241200Z

...NO SVR TSTM AREAS FORECAST...

...SYNOPSIS...

SHORT WAVE TROUGH OVER ERN ORE/ID AS OF 23/04Z WILL AMPLIFY THROUGH
THE PERIOD AS IT PHASES WITH INTENSIFYING UPPER LOW OVER CNTRL
CANADA. THESE PHASED SYSTEMS WILL CONTRIBUTE TO SUBSTANTIAL HEIGHT
FALLS FROM THE NRN/CNTRL PLAINS EWD INTO THE UPPER GREAT LAKES AND
MID MS VALLEY. IN THE LOW LEVELS...ASSOCIATED COLD FRONT NOW
EMERGING FROM THE ROCKIES WILL PUSH EWD/SEWD THROUGH THE PLAINS
TODAY...EVENTUALLY REACHING THE CNTRL/LOWER MS VALLEY OVERNIGHT.

...LOWER MS VALLEY INTO THE ARKLATEX...

23/00Z SOUNDINGS OVER S TX AND CURRENT SURFACE OBSERVATIONS INDICATE
THAT LOW-LEVEL MOISTURE IS GRADUALLY INCREASING ALONG THE TX COAST
WITH BOUNDARY LAYER DEWPOINTS IN THE 50S AND PW VALUES OVER ONE
INCH. LOW-LEVEL MASS RESPONSE TO AMPLIFYING UPPER TROUGH OVER THE
CNTRL PLAINS WILL RESULT IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF A 30-40 KT SWLY LLJ
TODAY FROM ERN TX INTO THE OZARK PLATEAU REGION. THIS WILL SERVE TO
ENHANCE THE NEWD FLUX OF AN INCREASINGLY MOIST AIR MASS IN ADVANCE
OF SURFACE COLD FRONT. INITIALLY...MOISTURE WILL REMAIN LIMITED
BENEATH QUITE POOR MIDLEVEL LAPSE RATES WITH ONLY SHALLOW LAYER OF
CONVECTIVE INSTABILITY DEVELOPING TODAY WITHIN PRE-FRONTAL WARM
SECTOR. AS SUCH...NO TSTM DEVELOPMENT IS EXPECTED THROUGH THE
DIURNAL HEATING CYCLE.

SWLY LLJ WILL BE MAINTAINED OVERNIGHT /EVEN INTENSIFY/ FROM THE
ARKLATEX INTO THE TN AND OH VALLEYS...SUPPORTING CONTINUED
MOISTENING IN THE LOW LEVELS. THIS PROCESS WILL OCCUR BENEATH
STEEPENING MIDLEVEL LAPSE RATES ATTENDANT TO AMPLIFYING UPPER TROUGH
WITH THESE DIFFERENTIAL ADVECTIONS RESULTING IN A GRADUALLY
