The small amount of snow meant that pastures near Wheeler in northwest Wisconsin had very little moisture to start the growing season. The sheep and beef producer has already been culling less productive animals for the past two years, leaving him few options available. Brownfield Ag News (Jefferson City, Mo.), Feb 27, 2024

Day 2 Convective Outlook NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 1254 AM CST Sat Mar 02 2024 Valid 031200Z - 041200Z ...NO SEVERE THUNDERSTORM AREAS FORECAST... ...SUMMARY... Severe thunderstorms are not expected on Sunday. ...Synopsis... A potent shortwave trough will lift northeastward through parts of the northern Plains into the Upper Great Lakes on Sunday into early Monday morning. Broad troughing will remain in the West with a southern stream perturbation approaching central/southeast Texas late in the period. At the surface, a deep surface low will also quickly lift northward through the eastern Dakotas and Minnesota. A secondary surface low will form in eastern Colorado during the afternoon and shift into Kansas/Oklahoma during the evening. Very cold temperatures (less than -30 C) aloft in the Pacific Northwest/northern California will support thunderstorm activity primarily along/near the coast. Some activity could extend into the Willamette Valley. Despite cool temperatures/cloud cover, very little heating would be required to support deep enough updrafts for isolated lightning flashes. Late in the period, low-level warm advection in portions of the mid-Missouri Valley region may support the development of elevated buoyancy. Isolated thunderstorms would be possible should sufficient destabilization occur. In the Southeast, a weak upper-level trough should allow for thunderstorm activity along/near a stationary surface boundary as well as along the sea breeze in the Florida Peninsula. A subtle shortwave trough approaching parts of central/southeast Texas coupled with low-level theta-e advection will encourage some destabilization during the evening. Given a pronounced layer of warm air aloft, it appears that thunderstorms will most likely not develop until later in the day on Monday. ..Wendt.. 03/02/2024 Read more

SPC 1200Z Day 1 Outlook
Day 1 Convective Outlook NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 1129 PM CST Fri Mar 01 2024 Valid 021200Z - 031200Z ...NO SEVERE THUNDERSTORM AREAS FORECAST... ...SUMMARY... Severe thunderstorms are unlikely through early Sunday morning. ...Northern FL Peninsula and vicinity... A low-amplitude midlevel shortwave trough is forecast to move through broad cyclonic flow and approach the FL Peninsula during the afternoon. Ascent attendant to this feature will aid diurnal thunderstorm development from far south GA into the northern FL Peninsula, along/south of a weak surface boundary. Generally weak instability and only modest deep-layer shear should tend to limit the severe risk, but a strong storm or two capable of small hail and gusty winds will be possible, especially in areas where greater pre-convective warming can occur through the day. ...Parts of the Great Basin into the northern Rockies... A deep mid/upper-level trough will continue moving eastward across the western CONUS through the day. A surface low initially over eastern WA is forecast to move eastward toward the northern High Plains by evening. A strong cold front attendant to this low will move across the Great Basin and northern Rockies through the afternoon. Steep lapse rates, cold temperatures aloft (-25C to -30C at 500 mb), and favorable ascent will support development of one or more bands of low-topped convection along the front as it moves eastward. This frontal convection will pose a threat of at least sporadic lightning flashes from parts of NV into UT/WY and southeast ID, accompanied by strong wind gusts and potential snow-squall conditions. ..Dean/Weinman.. 03/02/2024 Read more

The severe-thunderstorm threat appears low through tonight. ...Synopsis... Low-topped convection will continue across parts of the West tonight, in association with a deep mid/upper-level trough that continues to move inland from the eastern Pacific. Cool surface temperatures will generally limit instability and the severe threat, though a stronger storm or two capable of small hail and gusty winds will remain possible through the evening. Clusters of generally weak convection are ongoing across parts of the Southeast this evening, where modest instability is in place ahead of a weakening midlevel shortwave trough that is traversing the region. A strong storm or two cannot be ruled out across parts of the FL Panhandle, where somewhat richer low-level moisture is in place, but a general displacement between stronger large-scale ascent and more favorable instability is expected to limit severe-thunderstorm potential. ..Dean.. 03/02/2024 Read more
