Please be aware, even though I do not post every night, rest assured I am continuously monitoring various areas for any significant weather.  I will be taking Sundays off (family time), unless we have active systems that may be posing a threat (i.e. Tropical, Winter Weather, Coastal Storms, etc.).

I will reiterate, my forecasts are based on the available information at the time of analysis, and are only as accurate as the information analyzed and the solutions provided.

Good evening everyone!

The Storm Prediction Center (SPC), has issued a SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS in the current DAY 2 outlook: FROM THE UPPER MIDWEST SOUTHWARD ACROSS THE LOWER MO VALLEY INTO THE SOUTHERN PLAINS…

SPC SUMMARY
Severe thunderstorms are possible Saturday through Saturday night in a corridor from parts of the Upper Midwest into the southern Great Plains. This may include a risk for tornadoes, strong wind gusts and hail.

Based on my analysis this evening of the SPC DAY 2 Outlook (which if you go to the SPC DAY 2 link), you’ll see it’s very lengthy.  To simplify this, the thermodynamics of the atmosphere over the region under the slight risk outline, will support both discrete supercells and bowing line segments in some areas, which will be supportive of the two main severe threats of damaging thunderstorm winds and large hail.
Analysis of severe and tornado indices yielded CAPE values in the moderate range, EHI, VGP, SWEAT and STP values in the low to moderate range.  Currently, based on the information, I am not expecting strong/significant tornadoes.  Based on the SPC tornado probability map, you’ll note two areas outlined at 5%.  Given the thermodynamic setup forecast for tomorrow, tornadoes can occur anywhere within the slight risk area.

STP EXPLAINED:
A majority of significant tornadoes (F2 or greater damage) have been associated with STP values greater than 1, while most non-tornadic supercells have been associated with values less than 1 in a large sample of RAP analysis proximity soundings.

SCP EXPLAINED
A multiple ingredient, composite index that includes effective storm-relative helicity (ESRH, based on Bunkers right supercell motion), most unstable parcel CAPE (muCAPE) and convective inhibition (muCIN), and effective bulk wind difference (EBWD). Each ingredient is normalized to supercell “threshold” values, and larger values of SCP denote greater “overlap” in the three supercell ingredients. Only positive values of SCP are displayed, which correspond to environments favoring right-moving (cyclonic) supercells.

VGP: The VGP (Vorticity Generation Parameter) is meant to estimate the rate of tilting and stretching of horizontal vorticity by a thunderstorm updraft. Values greater than 0.2 m s-2 suggest an increasing possibility of tornadic storms.

The following sites will explain most of these values, and will give you an idea of what to expect:

THE WEATHER PREDICTION

Based on analysis of F5 DATA NAM-WRF, NAM 3km, and SPC SREF models the strongest indices appear AOA 7:00 p. m. CDT through 10:00 p. m. CDT.  The severe threat begins to diminish thereafter.

Based on this, the following outlines in the F5 DATA maps indicate where the best probability for tornadic activity should occur.  This is based on where analyzed indices overlap on the maps.

About palmharborforecastcenter

I am a Tropical Forecast meteorologist, providing hurricane forecasts during the Atlantic Hurricane Season. I retired from the U.S. Coast Guard in July of 2001. Meteorology became my passion in high school, and I have continued my educational background in meteorology since 1996, when I undertook the study of Tropical Meteorology. While working toward my degree, I had to unexpectedly withdraw from college due to my oldest sons medical reasons. I do however, meet the educational criteria of the AMS to be recognized as a meteorologist. Studies include, but are not limited to the Navy Aerographers Mate course, Naval METOC meteorology course, Meteorology 2010 Sophomore level course while attending St. Petersburg College, Clearwater, FL., Basic Forecasting course for operational meteorologists from Rapid WX, meteorology institute, a four month meteorological internship, and extensive research on numerous meteorological topics such as the MJO, NAO, satellite imagery interpretation, etc. I have been forecasting Tropical Weather (Tropical Storms and Hurricanes) since 1996, with my main client being three different Coast Guard Commands.
