DAY 1 CONVECTIVE OUTLOOK
NWS STORM PREDICTION CENTER NORMAN OK
0743 PM CDT SUN APR 13 2008

VALID 140100Z - 141200Z

..NO TSTM AREAS FORECAST...

..ERN WA/ID PNHDL...

00Z SPOKANE SOUNDING INDICATED SOME MOISTENING IN THE 750-600 MB
LAYER SINCE 12Z WITH MODEST MIDLEVEL LAPSE RATES OF AROUND 7 C/KM.
HOWEVER...THE BOUNDARY LAYER WAS NOTABLY DRIER THAN MODEL FORECAST
SOUNDINGS WITH LITTLE OR NO OBSERVED CONVECTIVE INSTABILITY.
CONTINUED ASCENT ALONG FRONT AND AHEAD OF UPPER TROUGH SHOULD SERVE
TO FURTHER MOISTEN ENVIRONMENT AND PERHAPS STEEPEN MIDLEVEL LAPSE
RATES...EFFECTIVELY CONTRIBUTING TO POCKETS OF WEAK CONVECTIVE
INSTABILITY TONIGHT. WHILE A FEW LIGHTNING STRIKES ARE POSSIBLE
WITH ANY DEEPER CONVECTIVE ELEMENTS...ANTICIPATED AREAL COVERAGE IS
EXPECTED TO REMAIN TOO SPARSE TO WARRANT INCLUSION OF A GENERAL
THUNDER AREA.

..NC...

LIGHTNING DATA SHOW ISOLATED STRIKES WITHIN THE PAST HOUR IN
ASSOCIATION WITH ELEVATED CONVECTION MOVING THROUGH PORTIONS OF
CNTRL NC. 00Z GSO SOUNDING SUGGESTS THAT THIS ACTIVITY IS QUITE
HIGH BASED /AROUND 600 MB/ AND LIKELY ASSOCIATED WITH VIGOROUS
VORTICITY MAXIMUM LIFTING NEWD ACROSS THE CAROLINAS. THIS
CONVECTIVE WILL REMAIN CAPABLE OF AN ADDITIONAL LIGHTNING STRIKE OR
TWO TONIGHT OVER S-CNTRL INTO ERN NC. AS ABOVE...THIS POTENTIAL IS
TOO LOW FOR A THUNDER AREA.

SPC AC 131951

DAY 1 CONVECTIVE OUTLOOK
NWS STORM PREDICTION CENTER NORMAN OK
0251 PM CDT SUN APR 13 2008

VALID 132000Z - 141200Z

..NO TSTM AREAS FORECAST...

..SRN FL...
EARLY AFTERNOON SURFACE ANALYSIS SHOWED A COLD FRONT CONTINUING TO
MOVE SWD THROUGH SRN FL AND AT 19Z EXTENDED FROM NEAR APF TO PBI. A
WARM/MOIST AIR MASS RESIDES S OF THE FRONT...BUT WEAK MID LEVEL
LAPSE RATES ARE LIMITING THE DEVELOPMENT OF STRONGER INSTABILITY.
RECENT ACARS DATA OVER SE FL CONTINUED TO VERIFY THE EXPECTED
MARGINAL THERMODYNAMIC PROFILE WITH A SLIGHT WARM NOSE LOCATED
AROUND 700 MB. LIGHTNING DATA DID SHOW A STRIKE OR TWO ALONG THE SE
FL COAST JUST PRIOR TO 19Z...WHILE VISIBLE SATELLITE IMAGERY ACROSS
SRN FL ALSO SHOWED A FEW CONVECTIVE SHOWERS AROUND LAKE OKEECHOBEE
AND AT THE INTERSECTIONS OF THE COLD FRONT/SEA/LAKE BREEZE
BOUNDARIES. THERE IS THE POTENTIAL FOR ADDITIONAL CONVECTIVE
DEVELOPMENT AS THE COLD FRONT MOVES SWD. HOWEVER...THERMODYNAMIC
PROFILES SHOULD REMAIN MARGINAL FOR MORE THAN AN ISOLATED TSTM OR
TWO.

..ERN WA/ID PANHANDLE...
SURFACE COLD FRONT ATTENDANT TO PACIFIC TROUGH APPROACHING THE NWRN
U.S. WILL MOVE EWD ACROSS WA/ORE THIS FORECAST PERIOD AND SHOULD
EXTEND FROM ERN WA TO CENTRAL ORE BY 12Z MONDAY. FORCING FOR ASCENT
ALONG LEADING EDGE OF UPPER TROUGH AND COLD FRONT COMBINED WITH
MODEST MID LEVEL LAPSE RATES /6.5 TO 7 C/KM/ WILL CONTRIBUTE TO SOME
CONVECTION AND A FEW LIGHTNING STRIKES. EXPECTED LIMITED AREAL
COVERAGE CONTINUES TO PRECLUDE THE INTRODUCTION OF A GENERAL TSTM
AREA.

DAY 2 CONVECTIVE OUTLOOK
NWS STORM PREDICTION CENTER NORMAN OK
1202 PM CDT SUN APR 13 2008

VALID 141200Z - 151200Z

..NO SVR TSTM AREAS FORECAST...

..SYNOPSIS...
HIGHLY AMPLIFIED UPPER FLOW PATTERN WILL PERSIST ACROSS THE U.S ON
MONDAY AS THE ERN LONG WAVE TROUGH AXIS APPROACHES THE E COAST AND
THE NEXT UPSTREAM DEEP PACIFIC TROUGH DEVELOPS INLAND OVER THE WRN
STATES. COLD FRONT ACCOMPANYING THE WRN TROUGH SHOULD EXTEND FROM
ERN WA TO CENTRAL ORE AT 12Z MONDAY...AND MOVE EWD REACHING WRN MT
AND SRN ID BY MONDAY EVENING. ELSEWHERE...SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE
WILL SHIFT EWD ACROSS THE ERN HALF OF THE CONUS IN THE WAKE OF A
STRONG COLD FRONT...EFFECTIVELY NEGATING THUNDERSTORM POTENTIAL IN
THIS PART OF THE COUNTRY.

..FAR ERN ORE/SRN AND CENTRAL ID/WRN MT...
DESPITE LIMITED LOW LEVEL MOISTURE...MODELS/FORECAST SOUNDINGS
CONTINUE TO INDICATE THE POTENTIAL FOR HIGH BASED TSTMS ALONG THE
COLD FRONT MONDAY AFTERNOON/EVENING. SURFACE HEATING AND COLD MID
LEVEL TEMPERATURES ACCOMPANYING THE UPPER TROUGH WILL RESULT IN
STEEPENING LAPSE RATES AND WEAK INSTABILITY. THIS COMBINED WITH
FORCING FOR ASCENT ALONG THE FRONT AND TROUGH SHOULD SUPPORT A FEW
TSTMS. GIVEN HIGH BASED ACTIVITY...A FEW STRONGER WIND GUSTS WILL
BE POSSIBLE...BUT WEAK INSTABILITY SHOULD LIMIT OVERALL TSTM AND
WIND GUST THREATS.

..WRN ORE...
LAPSE RATES ARE EXPECTED TO STEEPEN ALONG AND JUST INLAND OF THE ORE
COAST LATER MONDAY AFTERNOON INTO THE EARLY EVENING AS THE COLDEST
MID LEVEL TEMPERATURES /-30 TO -34 C AT 500 MB/ SPREAD OVER THIS
REGION WITH THE UPPER TROUGH. MODELS SUGGEST SHOWERS AND A FEW
TSTMS WILL BE POSSIBLE IN THIS FAVORABLE THERMODYNAMIC ENVIRONMENT.

DAY 1 CONVECTIVE OUTLOOK
NWS STORM PREDICTION CENTER NORMAN OK
1118 AM CDT SUN APR 13 2008

VALID 131630Z - 141200Z

..NO TSTM AREAS FORECAST...

..SRN FL...
SURFACE COLD FRONT FROM FMY TO VRB AT 16Z WILL PROGRESS SLOWLY SWD
THROUGH THE SRN PENINSULA THIS AFTERNOON. DESPITE A FAIRLY
WARM/MOIST BOUNDARY LAYER AHEAD OF THE FRONT...THERMODYNAMIC
PROFILES WILL BE MARGINAL FOR DEEP CONVECTION WITH WARM NOSE INVOF
700 MB AND TEMPERATURES AROUND -20 DEG C AT 400 MB...PER 12Z RAOBS
AND RECENT ACARS. IN ADDITION...WEAK W/SWLY FLOW AHEAD OF THE FRONT
WILL LIMIT CONVERGENCE. STILL...AN ISOLATED TSTM OR TWO IS
POSSIBLE...BUT COVERAGE SHOULD BE INSUFFICIENT TO WARRANT A
CATEGORICAL OUTLOOK.

..ERN WA/ID PANHANDLE...
LARGE-SCALE UPPER TROUGH OVER THE NERN PACIFIC WILL APPROACH THE
PACIFIC NW COAST THROUGH EARLY MON. AS A COLD FRONT PUSHES EWD
TOWARDS THE NRN ROCKIES...MOIST CONVECTION WILL LIKELY BREAK OUT
THIS EVENING AND TONIGHT. 12Z GFS/NAM BOTH APPEAR TO BE TOO
AGGRESSIVE WITH SUGGESTING SURFACE DEW POINTS WILL RISE INTO THE
UPPER 40S TO LOWER 50S BY LATE AFTERNOON IN THE PRE-CONVECTIVE
ENVIRONMENT...BASED ON CURRENT SURFACE OBSERVATIONS AND REGIONAL
RAOBS THIS MORNING. RELATIVELY MODEST MID-LEVEL LAPSE RATES AND
SURFACE DEW POINTS MORE LIKELY IN THE LOWER TO MIDDLE 40S...SHOULD
RESULT IN ONLY MINIMAL CHARGE SEPARATION WITH A COUPLE OF SPORADIC
LIGHTNING STRIKES POSSIBLE.

NWS STORM PREDICTION CENTER NORMAN OK
0723 AM CDT SUN APR 13 2008

VALID 131300Z - 141200Z

..NO SVR TSTM AREAS FORECAST...

..SYNOPSIS...
DEEP TROUGH ALOFT WILL BE CARVED OUT OVER THE ERN U.S. DURING THE
PERIOD AS A PAIR OF STRONG MID LEVEL VORT MAXIMA ROTATE SEWD ACROSS
THE MID WEST/LOWER MS RIVER VALLEY. THIS WILL DRIVE SURFACE COLD
FRONT SEWD OFF FL COAST DURING THE DAY. ALTHOUGH A FAIRLY
WARM/MOIST BOUNDARY LAYER WILL PERSIST OVER SERN FL AHEAD OF THE
FRONT...THERMODYNAMIC PROFILES WILL ONLY BE MARGINAL FOR DEEP MOIST
CONVECTION WITH WARM NOSE AROUND H7 WEAKENING CAPE.
REGARDLESS...APPEARS SUFFICIENT CAPE WILL BE PRESENT FOR A FEW
DEEPER CONVECTIVE UPDRAFTS AND THE POTENTIAL FOR ISOLATED
THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS SRN FL PRIOR TO FRONTAL PASSAGE.

ELSEWHERE...STRONG MID/UPPER LEVEL SYSTEM WILL CONTINUE EWD INTO THE
PAC NW AND FORCE RIDGE AXIS EWD ACROSS THE NRN PLAINS TONIGHT. AS
THIS OCCURS A STRONG SURFACE COLD FRONT WILL SHIFT QUICKLY EWD INTO
THE NRN ROCKIES AND BRING SHALLOW MOIST CONVECTION EWD AWAY FROM THE
PAC NW. HOWEVER...FORECAST SOUNDINGS INDICATE THUNDERSTORM
POTENTIAL WILL BE LIMITED.

..DISCUSSION...
LATEST GFS RUNS HAVE TRENDED TOWARD THE ECMWF SOLUTION...IN TERMS OF
ITS HANDLING OF THE NEXT SHORT-WAVE TROUGH EXPECTED TO EJECT OUT OF
THE ROCKIES INTO THE CENTRAL CONUS DAY 5 /THU. APR. 17/. DESPITE
INCREASING CERTAINTY WITH THE EJECTION OF THIS FEATURE...SEVERAL
ADDITIONAL QUESTIONS REMAIN -- INCLUDING THE QUALITY OF THE MOISTURE
RETURN AND THE LOCATION AND TIMING OF THE SURFACE LOW/FRONT.

ATTM...OVERALL MAGNITUDE OF THE POTENTIAL SEVERE EVENT SEEMS
MARGINAL FOR THE INTRODUCTION OF A RISK AREA...WITH CONFIDENCE
LESSENED FURTHER BY THE AFOREMENTIONED QUESTIONS REGARDING
MOISTURE/DESTABILIZATION AND EVOLUTION OF THE SURFACE PATTERN.
THUS...WILL NOT INTRODUCE AN OUTLOOK AREA THIS FORECAST...DESPITE
THE POTENTIAL FOR AT LEAST A LOWER-END SEVERE EVENT DAY 5 ACROSS THE
SRN PLAINS...AND PERHAPS EXPANDING EWD TO INCLUDE THE MIDDLE AND
LOWER MS VALLEY DAY 6.

..NO SVR TSTM AREAS FORECAST...

..SYNOPSIS...
PROGRESSIVE/HIGHLY-AMPLIFIED UPPER PATTERN TO PERSIST THIS
PERIOD...WITH THE ERN TROUGH EVENTUALLY MOVING OFF THE E COAST WHILE

AT THE SURFACE...A COLD FRONT IS FORECAST TO SHIFT ACROSS THE NRN
PLAINS/INTO THE CENTRAL U.S. WITH TIME...AHEAD OF THE ADVANCING WRN
TROUGH. HOWEVER...LACK OF LOW-LEVEL MOISTURE AHEAD OF THIS FRONT
SUGGESTS LITTLE IF ANY POTENTIAL FOR DESTABILIZATION...AND THUS ONLY
A VERY MINIMAL THREAT FOR THUNDER. ELSEWHERE...THUNDERSTORMS ARE
NOT ANTICIPATED.

DAY 1 CONVECTIVE OUTLOOK
NWS STORM PREDICTION CENTER NORMAN OK
1217 AM CDT SUN APR 13 2008

VALID 131200Z - 141200Z

..NO TSTM AREAS FORECAST...

..SYNOPSIS...

HIGHLY AMPLIFIED PATTERN WILL PERSIST SUNDAY WITH A POSITIVELY
TILTED UPPER TROUGH ADVANCING SLOWLY THROUGH THE ERN STATES AND A
RIDGE OVER THE ROCKY MOUNTAIN WEST. UPPER TROUGH NOW OVER THE ERN
PACIFIC WILL APPROACH THE PACIFIC NW TOWARD THE END OF THIS PERIOD.
THE SURFACE PATTERN WILL BE CHARACTERIZED BY A COLD FRONT MOVING SWD
THROUGH THE REMAINDER OF THE FL PENINSULA AND A LARGE AREA OF HIGH
PRESSURE OVER THE CNTRL STATES CONTRIBUTING TO OFFSHORE FLOW ALONG
THE GULF.

..S FL...

A FEW SHOWERS WILL BECOME INCREASINGLY PROBABLE ALONG SWD ADVANCING
COLD FRONT AND SEA BREEZES AS THE BOUNDARY LAYER DESTABILIZES. THE
00Z OBSERVED SOUNDINGS OVER THE FL PENINSULA FOR SATURDAY EVENING
SHOWED AN INVERSION PRESENT AROUND 700 MB ALONG WITH WEAK MID LEVEL
LAPSE RATES. FORECAST SOUNDINGS SHOW LITTLE IMPROVEMENT OF THE
THERMODYNAMIC ENVIRONMENT WITH WARM MID LEVEL TEMPERATURES AND MUCH
OF THE CAPE CONFINED TO LAYERS WHERE TEMPERATURES ARE WARMER THAN
-10C. THIS SEEMS REASONABLE GIVEN THAT DEEPER ASCENT AND UPPER JET
MAXIMA MOVING THROUGH THE UPPER TROUGH WILL REMAIN WELL NW OF THE
WARM SECTOR. THE MARGINAL THERMODYNAMIC ENVIRONMENT SUGGESTS ANY
LIGHTNING ACCOMPANYING THE SHOWERS SHOULD REMAIN LESS THAN 10%
COVERAGE INLAND.
