SPC 0700Z Day 2 Outlook
Day 2 Convective Outlook NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 1241 AM CST Sun Dec 10 2023 Valid 111200Z - 121200Z ...NO THUNDERSTORM AREAS FORECAST... ...SUMMARY... Thunderstorm probabilities are less than 10 percent on Monday. ...Discussion... Substantial cyclogenesis tonight will persist into Monday with the surface low tracking across southern and eastern New England to the Canadian Maritimes. An extremely strong low-level jet ahead of the cyclone, increasing to around 100 kts at 850 mb, should advect adequate western Atlantic moisture to yield minimal elevated buoyancy towards coastal New England. The bulk of guidance outside of the 00Z NAM indicates this may be inadequate for charge separation amid weak lapse rates above 500 mb. But given the very strong forcing for ascent, there may be a short-duration period from 12-15Z across southeast MA to coastal ME where heavier convective elements within the broader warm conveyor rain band could produce a few lightning flashes. Elsewhere across the CONUS, with the surface cold front expected to clear the rest of the Atlantic Seaboard prior to 12Z Monday, thunderstorm potential will be negligible. ..Grams.. 12/10/2023

SPC 1200Z Day 1 Outlook
Day 1 Convective Outlook NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 1159 PM CST Sat Dec 09 2023 Valid 101200Z - 111200Z ...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS PARTS OF FAR EASTERN SOUTH CAROLINA AND EASTERN NORTH CAROLINA... ...SUMMARY... Severe thunderstorms associated with wind damage and a few tornadoes are expected across parts of far eastern South Carolina and eastern North Carolina today. Marginally severe wind gusts will also be possible over much of the Atlantic Coastal region from Florida to the Mid-Atlantic. ...Atlantic Coastal States... An upper-level trough will move eastward across the Ohio and Tennessee Valleys today, as an associated belt of strong mid-level flow translates eastward into the Appalachians and Atlantic coastal states. At the surface, a cold front will advance eastward through the southern and central Appalachians. Ahead of the front, moisture advection will take place from the eastern Gulf Coast States northward to the Mid-Atlantic, maintaining or increasing surface dewpoints into the lower to mid 60s F in most areas. Thunderstorms are expected to continue throughout the morning as the front progresses eastward. Strengthening low-level flow ahead of the system will result in a gradual increase in convective coverage throughout the day over the moist sector. In spite of abundant cloud cover and weak instability, an isolated severe threat is expected to develop ahead of the front. Marginally severe wind gusts will be the primary threat from northern Florida northward into the western and central Carolinas and into the Mid-Atlantic. Over the eastern Carolinas, the severe threat is expected to be greater due to a number of factors. First, model forecasts suggest that a corridor of stronger instability will develop by afternoon from far eastern South Carolina into east-central North Carolina, where MLCAPE is expected to peak around 1000 J/kg. Second, a low-level jet is forecast to move through the central Carolinas during the early afternoon. The combination of stronger instability, moderate to strong deep-layer shear and increasing low-level flow will be favorable for rotating storms. As the low-level jet moves through during the early afternoon, 0-3 km storm-relative helicity is forecast to increase to around 200 m2/s2 over parts of far eastern South Carolina and eastern North Carolina, suggesting that some of the storms could develop a tornado threat. The tornado threat will likely be greatest with storms that remain discrete and develop near the moist axis. A gradual increase in storm coverage is expected during afternoon, with a mixed mode likely. Supercells and organized line segments will likely be capable of wind-damage, with the threat peaking during the early to mid afternoon. ..Broyles/Wendt.. 12/10/2023

MD 2318 CONCERNING TORNADO WATCH 717... FOR PORTIONS OF NORTHERN GEORGIA INTO FAR SOUTHEASTERN TENNESSEE
Mesoscale Discussion 2318 NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 1140 PM CST Sat Dec 09 2023 Areas affected...portions of northern Georgia into far southeastern Tennessee Concerning...Tornado Watch 717... Valid 100540Z - 100645Z The severe weather threat for Tornado Watch 717 continues. SUMMARY...The severe threat continues across Tornado Watch 717. A couple of damaging gusts are the main threat, though a tornado cannot be ruled out. DISCUSSION...Linear convection is progressing across Tornado Watch 717, with a history of producing isolated bouts of sub-severe hail and scattered damaging gusts. These storms persist in a low-CAPE/high shear regime, which continues to support some organization. What little buoyancy remains continues to diminish in northern GA and points north and east, casting doubt on a more organized severe threat. However, low-level shear remains quite strong, so an additional damaging gust or even a tornado cannot be ruled out over the next few hours. Given the diminishing downstream buoyancy, convective trends will need to be closely monitored for the need of a downstream WW issuance or local extension. ..Squitieri.. 12/10/2023 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov for graphic product...

MD 2319 CONCERNING TORNADO WATCH 718... FOR PARTS OF CENTRAL/SOUTHERN ALABAMA INTO WEST-CENTRAL GEORGIA
Mesoscale Discussion 2319 NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 1153 PM CST Sat Dec 09 2023 Areas affected...Parts of central/southern Alabama into west-central Georgia Concerning...Tornado Watch 718... Valid 100553Z - 100800Z The severe weather threat for Tornado Watch 718 continues. SUMMARY...Modest reductions in MLCIN have allowed activity in Alabama to intensify. Greater low/mid-level ascent has fostered additional discrete storms ahead of the cold front. Tornadoes and damaging winds will remain possible into the overnight. A watch east of WW 717 could be needed if discrete storms mature/intensify. DISCUSSION...Objective mesoanalysis has shown MLCIN decreasing across central/southern Alabama over the last hour or so. This is likely due to some weak theta-e advection within the low-levels. At the same time, an increase in intensity of two linear segments west and southwest and Birmingham has also been noted. Low-level shear from area VAD profiles continue to suggest potential for embedded QLCS circulations and brief tornadoes. Farther east, as has been the case much of the evening, discrete elements are again trying to mature from southeast Alabama into west-central Georgia. With ascent from the mid-level trough and a modest increase in the low-level jet, this activity seems likely to continue. The primary question with these discrete storms is how mature they will become. Buoyancy drops off to the east, but some eastward push of the better airmass is possible as the trough continues its approach. Should a storm mature, the environment would be similarly supportive of tornadoes farther east as well. This activity will have to be monitored and a watch could be needed if further intensification occurs. Otherwise, strong to severe wind gusts will also be a concern, particularly with any more organized linear segments. ..Wendt.. 12/10/2023 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov for graphic product...
