...SYNOPSIS...
PROGRESSIVE UPPER AIR PATTERN FCST TO CONTINUE THROUGH REMAINDER
PERIOD...WITH SPLIT FLOW REGIME UPSTREAM FROM PERTURBATION NOW OVER
LOWER CO RIVER REGION. AS THIS TROUGH MOVES ESEWD ACROSS
AZ...SMALL/DOWNSTREAM UPPER CYCLONE OVER PORTIONS CENTRAL/S-CENTRAL
TX IS EXPECTED TO LIFT NEWD TOWARD N-CENTRAL/NE TX OVERNIGHT.
LATTER TROUGH WILL BE ACCOMPANIED BY INSUFFICIENT
MOISTURE/INSTABILITY FOR TSTMS.

...NRN AZ...
OPTIMALLY STEEP LOW-MIDLEVEL LAPSE RATES...RESIDUAL DIURNALLY WARMED
SFC TEMPS...AND MRGL MOISTURE HAVE CONTRIBUTED TO A FEW SHALLOW
TSTMS ACROSS PORTIONS NW AZ...INVOF VORTICITY MAX THAT ACCOMPANIES
SWRN SHORTWAVE TROUGH. MODIFIED FGZ RAOB AND RUC SOUNDINGS INDICATE
UP TO ABOUT 50 J/KG MUCAPE AVAILABLE...LIKELY TO DIMINISH WITH
DIABATIC BOUNDARY LAYER COOLING. WHILE VERY BRIEF/ISOLATED THUNDER
CANNOT BE RULED OUT AS THIS REGIME SHIFTS EWD/SEWD ACROSS AZ
OVERNIGHT WILL LESSEN OVERALL TSTM POTENTIAL. PROBABILITIES APPEAR
TOO LOW AND CONDITIONAL FOR GEN TSTM AREA ATTM.

LATEST MODEL GUIDANCE CONTINUES TO SUGGEST UPPER LOW WILL DIG DEEP
INTO MEXICO AS STRONGEST MID-HIGH LEVEL FLOW REMAINS ON BACK SIDE OF
TROUGH ACROSS THE GULF OF CA. WITH TIME SOMEWHAT STRONGER FLOW DOES
SPREAD UNUSUALLY FAR SOUTH TOWARD THE BAY OF CAMPECHE. WITHIN THE
EXIT REGION OF THIS STRONGER FLOW IT APPEARS A PRONOUNCED LEE TROUGH
WILL DEVELOP ALONG THE LOWER RIO GRANDE VALLEY INTO NERN
MEXICO...WITH A POSSIBLE WEAK SFC LOW EVOLVING SOUTH OF BRO LATE.
MODIFIED GULF AIRMASS WILL RETURN TO DEEP SOUTH TX RESULTING IN WEAK
BUOYANCY...MUCAPE AOB 500 J/KG...WITHIN WARM ADVECTION REGIME. THIS
GRADUAL MOISTENING/DESTABILIZING AIRMASS SHOULD AID CONVECTIVE
POTENTIAL AS LARGE SCALE FORCING INCREASES ACROSS THIS REGION. AT
THIS TIME IT APPEARS MOST CONVECTION WILL REMAIN
SUB-SEVERE....ALTHOUGH INCREASING SHEAR PROFILES AND SFC DEW POINTS
RISING TO NEAR 60F SUGGEST A FEW THUNDERSTORMS COULD ROTATE. THE
STRONGEST UPDRAFTS COULD PRODUCE GUSTY WINDS OR MARGINAL SEVERE HAIL
AND THE EXPECTED INTENSITY OF CONVECTION DOES NOT WARRANT A SLIGHT
RISK.

DAY 1 CONVECTIVE OUTLOOK
NWS STORM PREDICTION CENTER NORMAN OK
0633 AM CST WED JAN 13 2010

VALID 131300Z - 141200Z

...NO SVR TSTM AREAS FORECAST...

A POWERFUL UPPER TROUGH CONTINUES TO ROTATE INLAND THIS MORNING
INTO PORTIONS OF ORE/CA. THE PRIMARY FRONTAL BAND HAS MOVED EAST OF
THE NORTHERN VALLEY OF CA...AND WILL PROGRESS ACROSS THE SOUTHERN
VALLEY AND INTO SOUTHERN NV BY THIS AFTERNOON. STRONG LIFT ALONG
THE FRONT COUPLED WITH COLD TEMPERATURES ALOFT WILL POSE A RISK OF
ISOLATED LIGHTNING STRIKES IN THE HEAVIEST PRECIPITATION CORES...AND
PERHAPS IN ISOLATED LOW-TOPPED CONVECTION BEHIND THE FRONT. THE
THUNDERSTORM THREAT WILL LIKELY SPREAD EASTWARD INTO PARTS OF
WESTERN AZ AND PERHAPS SOUTHWEST UT AFTER DARK. NO ORGANIZED SEVERE
STORMS ARE EXPECTED TODAY.

0352 AM CST WED JAN 13 2010

VALID 161200Z - 211200Z

...PREDICTABILITY TOO LOW TO DELINEATE A REGIONAL SVR RISK AREA...

A SOMEWHAT SLOWER EAST NORTHEASTWARD ACCELERATION OF THE SOUTHERN
BRANCH CLOSED LOW OUT OF THE MEXICAN PLATEAU THROUGH THE
SOUTHEASTERN STATES LATE THIS WEEK INTO THE WEEKEND WILL PROVIDE
MORE TIME FOR BOUNDARY LAYER MODIFICATION AND DESTABILIZATION OVER
THE NORTHEASTERN GULF OF MEXICO. HOWEVER...SIZABLE DIFFERENCES
PERSIST AMONG MEDIUM RANGE FORECAST GUIDANCE CONCERNING ASSOCIATED
FRONTAL WAVE DEVELOPMENTS...AND SEVERE POTENTIAL ACROSS CENTRAL/
EASTERN GULF COASTAL AREAS THROUGH THE SOUTH ATLANTIC COAST ON
SATURDAY REMAIN UNCLEAR. THEREAFTER...MODELS INDICATE THAT UPPER
FLOW IS LIKELY TO INTENSIFY ACROSS THE SOUTHERN U.S./NORTHERN
MEXICAN PLATEAU THROUGH THE WESTERN/CENTRAL GULF COAST REGION BY THE
MIDDLE OF NEXT WEEK. THIS PROBABLY WILL COINCIDE WITH THE ONSET OF
A MORE SUBSTANTIVE RETURN FLOW OFF THE GULF OF MEXICO... AND
CONTRIBUTE TO INCREASING POTENTIAL FOR SEVERE STORM DEVELOPMENT
ACROSS THE GULF STATES...IF NOT A LARGER PORTION OF THE SOUTH
CENTRAL U.S. HOWEVER...THE SPREAD AMONG THE MODELS AND ENSEMBLES
BECOMES TOO LARGE BY THAT EXTENDED TIME FRAME TO REASONABLY
DELINEATE A SEVERE RISK AREA.

0217 AM CST WED JAN 13 2010

AREAS AFFECTED...SIERRA NEVADA RANGE

CONCERNING...HEAVY SNOW

VALID 130817Z - 131215Z

HEAVY SNOW WITH RATES OF 2 INCHES/HOUR WILL CONTINUE THROUGH
12Z...MAINLY ABOVE 5000 FEET MSL. SNOW RATES SHOULD THEN BEGIN TO
DIMINISH BETWEEN 12-15Z.

EARLY MORNING SATELLITE AND RADAR IMAGERY SHOW THE NEXT SIGNIFICANT
SHORT WAVE TROUGH CURRENTLY APPROACHING THE NRN/CNTRL CA COAST. AN
ASSOCIATED BAND OF CONVECTIVE PRECIPITATION WAS OBSERVED
PROGRESSIVELY OVERSPREADING THE COASTAL RANGES AND SACRAMENTO VALLEY
AS OF 08Z. ISOLATED LIGHTNING ACTIVITY HAS BEEN ASSOCIATED WITH
THIS ACTIVITY...LIKELY SIGNALING THE ARRIVAL OF STEEPER MIDLEVEL
LAPSE RATES.

CURRENT MESONET OBSERVATIONS INDICATE THAT SURFACE FREEZING
TEMPERATURES ARE PRESENT GENERALLY ABOVE 8000 FEET.
HOWEVER...DYNAMIC COOLING ASSOCIATED WITH THE SHORT WAVE TROUGH
/I.E. 12-HR HEIGHT FALLS OF 60-90 M/ COUPLED WITH EVAPORATIONAL
COOLING SHOULD SUPPORT SNOW LEVELS LOWERING TO 5000-5500 FEET. THE
INFLUX OF AN INCREASINGLY MOIST AIR MASS OFF THE PACIFIC /PW VALUES
APPROACHING AN INCH/ COUPLED WITH THE DEEP-LAYER FORCING FOR ASCENT
/BOTH DYNAMICAL AND OROGRAPHIC/ AND THE STEEPENING LAPSE RATES WILL
ALL PROMOTE HEAVY SNOW WITH HOURLY RATES OF 2 INCHES LIKELY.

SNOW RATES SHOULD BEGIN TO DIMINISH BETWEEN 12-15Z AS THE STRONGER
LARGE-SCALE FORCING FOR ASCENT BEGINS TO SHIFT E OF THE REGION.

DAY 3 CONVECTIVE OUTLOOK
NWS STORM PREDICTION CENTER NORMAN OK
0159 AM CST WED JAN 13 2010

VALID 151200Z - 161200Z

...SYNOPSIS...
THE EASTWARD ACCELERATION OF THE CLOSED LOW...WITHIN AN AMPLIFIED
TROUGH IN THE SOUTHERN BRANCH OF A PERSISTENT SPLIT UPPER FLOW...
MAY BE A BIT SLOWER OUT OF THE MEXICAN PLATEAU THAN EARLIER
ANTICIPATED. BUT...THIS FEATURE STILL APPEARS LIKELY TO REMAIN
PROGRESSIVE...AS MODELS INDICATE ANOTHER VERY STRONG ZONAL PACIFIC
JET NOSING TOWARD THE PACIFIC COAST DURING THIS FORECAST PERIOD.
THE MID-LEVEL CIRCULATION IS PROGGED TO GRADUALLY MIGRATE INTO/
THROUGH THE LOWER RIO GRANDE VALLEY AND WESTERN GULF COAST REGION
LATE FRIDAY/FRIDAY NIGHT...WITH LARGE-SCALE FORCING CONTRIBUTING TO
A DEVELOPING FRONTAL WAVE OVER THE GULF OF MEXICO. SUBSTANTIAL
CONVECTIVE DEVELOPMENT APPEARS POSSIBLE...BUT PRIMARILY IN THE
PROXIMITY OF THE WARM SECTOR...WHICH IS EXPECTED TO REMAIN OVER THE
OPEN WATERS OF THE WESTERN THROUGH SOUTHEASTERN GULF.

...TEXAS COAST...
GENERALLY WEAK DESTABILIZATION...PARTICULARLY INLAND OF COASTAL
AREAS...IS EXPECTED TO REMAIN A LIMITING FACTOR CONCERNING THE RISK
FOR SEVERE STORMS DURING THIS PERIOD. BUT AN AREA OF ENHANCED
FORCING/SHEAR...WHICH MAY IMPACT PARTS OF THE LOWER TEXAS COAST BY
12Z FRIDAY IN ASSOCIATION WITH AN INITIAL SPEED MAXIMUM ROUNDING THE
LOW...MAY LINGER THROUGH THE MORNING. ONE OR TWO STRONG/MARGINALLY
SEVERE STORMS IS NOT OUT OF THE QUESTION ...AND COULD REMAIN A
POSSIBILITY INTO EARLY AFTERNOON...BEFORE THE FRONTAL WAVE BEGINS TO
EVOLVE OFFSHORE.

VALID 131200Z - 141200Z

...NO SVR TSTM AREAS FORECAST...

...SYNOPSIS...
AS A LARGE SCALE SPLIT OF THE WESTERLIES PREVAILS OVER NORTH
AMERICA...ANY TSTM POTENTIAL WILL BE TIED TO A BIFURCATING UPPER
TROUGH AND ASSOCIATED COLD FRONT THAT IS CURRENTLY MOVING INLAND
ACROSS THE WEST COAST EARLY THIS MORNING. AS THE NORTHERN SPLIT/VORT
MAX MINORS WHILE ADVANCING NORTHEASTWARD OVER THE PACIFIC
NORTHWEST...AMPLIFICATION OF THE SOUTHERN SPLIT/SHORTWAVE TROUGH IS
EXPECTED TO OCCUR FROM CENTRAL/SOUTHERN CA TO THE SOUTHWEST
DESERTS/SOUTHERN ROCKIES...AS A SIGNIFICANT SUBTROPICAL PACIFIC
UPPER JET DIGS SOUTHEASTWARD TOWARD BAJA.

...CA/NV/AZ/UT...
FRONTAL BAND/EMBEDDED TSTMS WILL CONTINUE TO SPREAD INLAND/EASTWARD
ACROSS CA/ORE EARLY IN THE PERIOD...WITH SOME POTENTIAL FOR A FEW
STRONG STORMS EARLY THIS MORNING MAINLY ACROSS CENTRAL CA COASTAL
AREAS AMIDST RELATIVELY FAVORABLE WIND PROFILES/STEEPENING LAPSE
RATE ENVIRONMENT. OTHERWISE...ISOLATED/EMBEDDED TSTM POTENTIAL WILL
DEVELOP EAST-SOUTHEASTWARD ACROSS INTERIOR CA TOWARD SOUTHERN
NV/WESTERN AZ/PERHAPS SOUTHERN UT DURING THE DAY ATTENDANT TO THE
DIGGING SOUTHERN STREAM SHORTWAVE TROUGH AND COLD FRONT. IN THE WAKE
OF THE AFOREMENTIONED BRUNT OF UVV/COOLING ALOFT...WITHIN THE
POST-FRONTAL ENVIRONMENT...POTENTIAL FOR A FEW ISOLATED/SURFACE
BASED STORMS MAY LINGER INTO THE AFTERNOON ACROSS THE CA INTERIOR
VALLEY WHERE SOMEWHAT STRONGER SURFACE HEATING /50S F/ MAY OCCUR
BENEATH THE UPPER COLD POCKET /AROUND -25C AT 500 MB/.

1142 PM CST TUE JAN 12 2010

VALID 141200Z - 151200Z

...NO SVR TSTM AREAS FORECAST...

...SYNOPSIS...
AMPLIFICATION WITHIN A STRONG BELT OF WESTERLIES NEAR OR JUST NORTH
OF THE EASTERN SUBTROPICAL PACIFIC APPEARS UNDERWAY. THIS IS
EXPECTED TO GRADUALLY TRANSLATE EASTWARD...WITH SHORT WAVE RIDGING
BUILDING NORTHEASTWARD ACROSS CALIFORNIA AND THE NORTHERN
INTERMOUNTAIN REGION BY THURSDAY...WHILE A DOWNSTREAM TROUGH DIGS
MORE STRONGLY SOUTHWARD INTO/THROUGH THE MEXICAN PLATEAU. AS THIS
OCCURS...SIGNIFICANT SURFACE PRESSURE FALLS ARE PROGGED ACROSS MUCH
OF THE MEXICAN PLATEAU/WESTERN GULF OF MEXICO AND SOUTHERN TEXAS.
AND...THE SOUTHEASTERN STATES SURFACE RIDGE APPEARS LIKELY TO
FINALLY WEAKEN WITH THE PRIMARY CENTER SHIFTING EASTWARD INTO THE
ATLANTIC. THIS MAY ALLOW BOUNDARY LAYER MODIFICATION TO GAIN
MOMENTUM OVER THE GULF OF MEXICO... PARTICULARLY SOUTHERN INTO
WESTERN AREAS...BUT GUIDANCE STILL SUGGESTS THAT MOISTURE RETURN
ACROSS THE LOWER RIO GRANDE VALLEY INTO TEXAS WILL BE RATHER WEAK.

...SOUTHERN ROCKIES INTO LOWER RIO GRANDE VALLEY...
THE PRIMARY SHORT WAVE IMPULSE EMBEDDED WITHIN THE AMPLIFYING LARGER
SCALE TROUGH IS PROGGED TO DIG SOUTH OF ARIZONA INTO NORTHWEST
MEXICO EARLY THURSDAY...BEFORE THE SYSTEM BOTTOMS OUT AND GRADUALLY
TURNS EASTWARD SEVERAL HUNDRED MILES SOUTH OF THE TEXAS BIG BEND.
STRONGER COOLING ALOFT AND STEEPENING OF MID-LEVEL LAPSE RATES WILL
GENERALLY REMAIN SOUTH OF THE INTERNATIONAL BORDER THROUGH THE
PERIOD. HOWEVER...SUFFICIENT DESTABILIZATION WITH LARGE-SCALE
FORCING MAY DEVELOP TO SUPPORT A FEW THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS THE
MOUNTAINS OF SOUTHEASTERN ARIZONA AND NEW MEXICO INTO SOUTHWEST
TEXAS DURING THE DAY. LATER THURSDAY EVENING INTO THE OVERNIGHT
HOURS...AS LOW-LEVEL WARM ADVECTION STRENGTHENS ACROSS THE LOWER RIO
GRANDE VALLEY INTO PARTS OF THE TEXAS HILL COUNTRY AND BIG BEND
REGION...ENOUGH MOISTENING AND DESTABILIZATION MAY OCCUR FOR
INCREASING CONVECTIVE DEVELOPMENT AND EMBEDDED THUNDERSTORMS.

STRONGEST BOUNDARY LAYER DESTABILIZATION...AND THE MOST VIGOROUS
CONVECTION...WILL LIKELY BE CONFINED TO THE OPEN WATERS OF THE
SOUTHWESTERN GULF OF MEXICO INTO MEXICAN COASTAL AREAS.
HOWEVER...SOME OF THESE STORMS COULD SPREAD INTO THE COAST AND
COASTAL WATERS NEAR BROWNSVILLE TOWARD 12Z FRIDAY...AS A SOUTHERLY
LOW-LEVEL JET STRENGTHENS WITH THE APPROACH OF THE EXIT REGION OF A
MID-LEVEL JET STREAK ROTATING AROUND THE CLOSED UPPER LOW. AS THIS
OCCURS...DEEP LAYER SHEAR WILL BECOME MORE FAVORABLE FOR UPDRAFT
ROTATION...AND SEVERE POTENTIAL MAY NOT BE COMPLETELY NEGLIGIBLE.
