SPC 1630Z Day 1 Outlook
Day 1 Convective Outlook NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 1020 AM CST Sun Dec 29 2024 Valid 291630Z - 301200Z ...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS THIS AFTERNOON OVER PARTS OF THE CENTRAL/EASTERN CAROLINAS... ...SUMMARY... Sporadic damaging wind gusts are possible this afternoon over the central and eastern Carolinas into southern Virginia. More-isolated severe storms may occur across parts of the central Appalachians and Ohio Valley, and over southernmost Florida. ...Carolinas... A large and negatively-tilted shortwave trough is rotating northeastward across the TN/OH Valleys today, with intense low and mid-level wind fields overspreading much of the eastern US. A pre-frontal squall line has advanced eastward into central NC and eastern SC, well ahead of the primary surface cold front and considerably faster than model guidance had predicted. This line is moving through weak instability, with very limited lightning being observed. Nevertheless, low-level winds and convergence along the line are quite strong, leading to gusty and occasional damaging winds. This trend will continue through the afternoon across the eastern Carolinas. ...NC/VA This Evening... Behind this line, widespread clouds and dewpoints in the 50s will result in continued weak thermodynamic profiles for deep convection. However, given the large-scale ascent and strong winds aloft, there remains some chance of re-development of showers and occasional thunderstorms from central NC into VA this evening. If this scenario unfolds, isolated damaging wind gusts could occur. ...OH/PA... A deep surface low currently over southern IN will track into northwest OH today, with a occluded front extending eastward from the low across OH. Widespread cloud cover will limit CAPE to 100-200 J/kg this afternoon ahead of the front. However, very strong winds aloft and large scale forcing for ascent is expected to result in scattered showers and thunderstorms. This fast-moving convection may result in locally damaging wind gusts or a brief tornado as it affects much of OH and western PA through early evening. ...FL Keys... An east-west band of thunderstorms is sagging southward across the FL Keys today. Several areas of rotation have been noted all morning along the line, which may pose a risk of gusty winds or waterspout/brief tornado activity. ..Hart/Lyons.. 12/29/2024 Read more

SPC 1630Z Day 1 Outlook
Day 1 Convective Outlook NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 1020 AM CST Sun Dec 29 2024 Valid 291630Z - 301200Z ...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS THIS AFTERNOON OVER PARTS OF THE CENTRAL/EASTERN CAROLINAS... ...SUMMARY... Sporadic damaging wind gusts are possible this afternoon over the central and eastern Carolinas into southern Virginia. More-isolated severe storms may occur across parts of the central Appalachians and Ohio Valley, and over southernmost Florida. ...Carolinas... A large and negatively-tilted shortwave trough is rotating northeastward across the TN/OH Valleys today, with intense low and mid-level wind fields overspreading much of the eastern US. A pre-frontal squall line has advanced eastward into central NC and eastern SC, well ahead of the primary surface cold front and considerably faster than model guidance had predicted. This line is moving through weak instability, with very limited lightning being observed. Nevertheless, low-level winds and convergence along the line are quite strong, leading to gusty and occasional damaging winds. This trend will continue through the afternoon across the eastern Carolinas. ...NC/VA This Evening... Behind this line, widespread clouds and dewpoints in the 50s will result in continued weak thermodynamic profiles for deep convection. However, given the large-scale ascent and strong winds aloft, there remains some chance of re-development of showers and occasional thunderstorms from central NC into VA this evening. If this scenario unfolds, isolated damaging wind gusts could occur. ...OH/PA... A deep surface low currently over southern IN will track into northwest OH today, with a occluded front extending eastward from the low across OH. Widespread cloud cover will limit CAPE to 100-200 J/kg this afternoon ahead of the front. However, very strong winds aloft and large scale forcing for ascent is expected to result in scattered showers and thunderstorms. This fast-moving convection may result in locally damaging wind gusts or a brief tornado as it affects much of OH and western PA through early evening. ...FL Keys... An east-west band of thunderstorms is sagging southward across the FL Keys today. Several areas of rotation have been noted all morning along the line, which may pose a risk of gusty winds or waterspout/brief tornado activity. ..Hart/Lyons.. 12/29/2024 Read more
