SPC 0830Z Day 3 Outlook
Day 3 Convective Outlook NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0225 AM CST Sat Jan 20 2024 Valid 221200Z - 231200Z ...NO SEVERE THUNDERSTORM AREAS FORECAST... ...SUMMARY... Scattered thunderstorms are forecast to develop across parts of the southern Plains, Ark-La-Tex and lower Mississippi Valley from Monday into Monday night. Isolated thunderstorms may also develop along parts of the California coast and in southwest Arizona. No severe threat is expected across the continental United States. ...DISCUSSION... Southwest mid-level flow will be in place on Monday from the Great Plains into the Mississippi Valley. A shortwave trough will move into the southern Plains during the day. Ahead of this feature, thunderstorms will be possible within a moist airmass across parts of southern and central Texas. The storms are expected to move eastward across east Texas and into the Ark-La-Tex and lower Mississippi Valley during the overnight period. Instability is forecast to be weak, which should limit any potential for severe convection. Elsewhere, isolated thunderstorms will be possible ahead of an approaching shortwave trough along the coast of California and in southwest Arizona, but no severe threat is expected. ..Broyles.. 01/20/2024 Read more

Rainfall in Suffolk County was below normal in May, leading the water authority for Southampton Town to issue a water advisory on June 12. The East Hampton Star (N.Y.), July 6, 2023

Dryland farmers in eastern Nebraska anticipated major yield losses from drought, while farmers with irrigation capacity were watering nonstop. Low hay yields were another concern. The farmer would usually have 200 to 225 large round bales toward the end of June, but had about 10. He had begun moving cattle off of pasture and were going to sell spring and fall herds in July for lack of pasture hay. KLKN-TV (Lincoln, Neb.), June 28, 2023

Day 2 Convective Outlook NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 1253 AM CST Sat Jan 20 2024 Valid 211200Z - 221200Z ...NO SEVERE THUNDERSTORM AREAS FORECAST... ...SUMMARY... Thunderstorms are expected across parts of southern and central Texas, and along the southern coast of California from Sunday into Sunday night. No severe threat is forecast. ...Synopsis... An upper-level ridge will move eastward into the Ohio and Tennessee Valleys on Sunday, as southwest flow at mid-levels becomes more firmly established across the southern Plains. Further to the west, an upper-level trough will approach the southern Plains. Ahead of the trough, low-level moisture advection will occur across southern and central Texas. Scattered thunderstorms will be possible across this moist airmass, mainly Sunday evening into the overnight period. However, instability is expected to be too weak for a severe threat. Elsewhere, isolated non-severe thunderstorms will be possible along the southern coast of California as an upper-level trough moves inland Sunday afternoon. ..Broyles.. 01/20/2024 Read more

Drought and intense heat in 2023 led to the present crawfish shortage and increased prices. The owner of a crawfish business in Clinton was only able to get 4 to 6 sacks of crawfish weekly, although he would normally sell about 150 sacks per week. The high cost forces him to sell boiled crawfish for $15.99 per pound, and he still isn’t making a profit. Clarion-Ledger (Jackson, Miss.), Jan 19, 2024

There was less water this year to turn Ouray’s narrow canyon gorge into walls of ice for climbers. Water is sprayed on the jagged rocks to transform the city park into an ice mecca for climbers for the Ouray Ice Festival and Competition. The park recently made a deal to get extra water from an old silver mine. A recent study found that during the 2021-2022 season, the ice park helped contribute nearly $18 million overall to the local economy, supporting 184 jobs. Placerville Mountain Democrat (Calif.), Jan 19, 2024

A crawfish farmer checked his roughly 80 traps and collected about one-fourth of a sack after the hot, dry summer killed many of the crawfish. A January cold spell had the remaining crawfish burrowing deeper for cover, so that there were few to harvest. The farmer was getting two to four sacks, but used to catch about ten. He was able to sell his crawfish for $8 per pound. WBRZ (New Orleans, La.), Jan 19, 2024
