Day 4-8 Outlook
Day 4-8 Convective Outlook NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0335 AM CST Mon Dec 11 2023 Valid 141200Z - 191200Z ...DISCUSSION... Severe probabilities appear negligible through D5. An area-of-interest for increasing severe potential during D6-8 continues across the eastern Gulf to south Atlantic Coasts. An initially stout surface anticyclone will weaken heading into the weekend over the OH Valley to central Appalachians. A remnant continental polar airmass will largely remain entrenched across the Southeast outside of the FL Peninsula. Deterministic 00Z guidance has trended towards increasing agreement with slow eastward progression of an upper low over the Southwest across the southern Great Plains into the Gulf this weekend. This will likely support cyclogenesis over the predominately offshore (outside of the FL Peninsula) baroclinic zone, which ECMWF ensemble and GEFS members have increasingly trended towards supporting their parent deterministic runs. But the degree of cyclone amplification remains quite varied, which has related impacts on timing/location of a potentially favorable warm-sector environment. This renders low predictability for a 15 percent severe weather area.

SPC 0830Z Day 3 Outlook
Day 3 Convective Outlook NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0217 AM CST Mon Dec 11 2023 Valid 131200Z - 141200Z ...NO SEVERE THUNDERSTORM AREAS FORECAST... ...SUMMARY... Severe thunderstorms are not expected on Wednesday. ...Southwest... A mid-level low over the Lower CO Valley should pivot and drift east across AZ through the period. Scant to meager elevated buoyancy will become increasingly pervasive downstream of this low. Sporadic lightning flashes should be favored in the first half of the period within a modest but persistent low-level warm theta-e advection regime. Convective coverage should increase Wednesday evening into the night as the cold-core region of the mid-level low shifts east, with an attendant corridor of steeper lapse rates overspreading the marginal moisture plume. The bulk of strong mid-level flow should remain confined to Sonora/Chihuahua, but small hail might occur overnight across south NM. ...South FL... Above-average agreement exists across guidance with the depiction of a stout 1040+ mb anticyclone centered on IL/IN Wednesday afternoon. This will influence persistent east-northeasterly low-level flow across FL, with gradual moistening anticipated. More prominent model differences occur with the depth of this low-level moistening and the erosion of a relatively warm/dry layer centered on 700 mb. In addition, weak lapse rates centered on 400 mb, near the -20 C level, further lowers confidence in whether lower-topped convection can acquire charge separation outside of the FL Straits. Still, enough signal exists to warrant a low thunderstorm probability. ..Grams.. 12/11/2023

MD 2330 CONCERNING HEAVY SNOW FOR PORTIONS OF NEW YORK INTO NORTHERN NEW ENGLAND
Mesoscale Discussion 2330 NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0206 AM CST Mon Dec 11 2023 Areas affected...Portions of New York into northern New England Concerning...Heavy snow Valid 110806Z - 111400Z SUMMARY...Moderate to heavy snow, with rates up to around 0.75 to 1 inch per hour, should persist across parts of New York into New England this morning. DISCUSSION...A pronounced upper trough will continue to progress east-northeastward across the Mid-Atlantic and Northeast this morning. A surface low near southern New England will consolidate and deepen further over the next several hours as it develops northward into ME. A cold front has cleared most of the Mid-Atlantic Coast early this morning, with low-level cold advection occurring in its wake across parts of NY and New England. Low-level thermal profiles behind the cold front are marginal to support snow, with many surface observations reporting temperatures in the low to mid 30s. Still, pronounced ascent preceding the upper trough and strong low-level frontogenetic forcing are supporting a swath of precipitation extending from the eastern Mid-Atlantic into New England. Cooling thermal profiles aloft are aiding a transition from rain to snow behind the cold front, especially at higher elevations. A band of moderate to heavy snow, with snowfall rates up to around 0.75 to 1 inch per hour, should extend from parts of eastern NY into VT, northern NH, and western/northern ME for several hours this morning. This band is expected to shift gradually east-northeastward in tandem with the upper trough progression for the next several hours. ..Gleason.. 12/11/2023 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov for graphic product...

SPC 0700Z Day 2 Outlook
Day 2 Convective Outlook NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 1257 AM CST Mon Dec 11 2023 Valid 121200Z - 131200Z ...NO SEVERE THUNDERSTORM AREAS FORECAST... ...SUMMARY... Severe thunderstorms are not expected on Tuesday. ...Discussion... A dearth of buoyancy adequate for thunderstorm potential will persist across much of the CONUS on Tuesday. One exception will be over the TX Trans-Pecos into southeast NM. Moistening around 700 mb should gradually occur downstream of a shortwave impulse digging from the Sierra Nevada to the Lower CO Valley. Guidance has trended faster with indicating scant elevated buoyancy by Tuesday night. The RRFS and parent 03Z RAP environment support isolated thunderstorm potential, despite neutral mid-level height change. Even so, most 00Z non-CAM and both available HREF members in the 48-60 hour time frame indicate minimal convective signal prior to 12Z Wednesday. ..Grams.. 12/11/2023

SPC Day 2 Fire Weather Outlook
Day 2 Fire Weather Outlook NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 1254 AM CST Mon Dec 11 2023 Valid 121200Z - 131200Z ...NO CRITICAL AREAS... ...Synopsis... An upper-level cyclone will be positioned across parts of the Northeast with a cutoff low developing in the Great Basin in a quasi-Rex Block pattern. Surface high pressure will continue to be the predominant feature over much of the CONUS. Fire weather concerns will likely remain minimal on Tuesday for most areas. Offshore pressure gradients in southern California will increase very late Tuesday into Wednesday morning. However, RH recovery overnight and only marginal increases in the wind should keep fire weather concerns low through the end of the period. ..Wendt.. 12/11/2023 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov/fire for graphic product...

SPC 1200Z Day 1 Outlook
Day 1 Convective Outlook NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 1127 PM CST Sun Dec 10 2023 Valid 111200Z - 121200Z ...NO THUNDERSTORM AREAS FORECAST... ...SUMMARY... Thunderstorms are not expected in the U.S. today and tonight. ...DISCUSSION... At mid-levels, west-northwesterly flow will be present today across much of the continental United States, as a trough of low pressure moves eastward across the eastern U.S. At the surface, a large area of high pressure will move northeastward across the Southeast. This will suppress moisture return from the Gulf of Mexico, keeping a relatively dry and cool airmass in place over much of the nation. For this reason, thunderstorm development is not expected across the U.S. today and tonight. ..Broyles/Wendt.. 12/11/2023

Day 1 Convective Outlook NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0654 PM CST Sun Dec 10 2023 Valid 110100Z - 111200Z ...THERE IS A MARGINAL RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS FAR EASTERN NORTH CAROLINA... ...SUMMARY... A marginal tornado threat is expected to continue this evening near Cape Hatteras. Elsewhere across the continental United States, a severe threat is not expected. ...Far Eastern North Carolina... At the surface, a cold front is currently located in western North Carolina, in the vicinity of Greensboro and Charlotte. Thunderstorms are ongoing well to the east of the front across eastern North Carolina, where surface dewpoints are in the mid 60s F. In addition, the Morehead City WSR-88D VWP has 0-3 km storm-relative helicity near 400 m2/s2. This suggests that a marginal tornado threat should continue this evening, as storms move northeastward across the Outer Banks. The tornado potential will be minimal, and is expected to gradually diminish as the cold front approaches the coast later tonight. ..Broyles.. 12/11/2023
