10/9 Severe Threat


IsentropicLift

Recommended Posts

Temperatures approaching the upper 70's to possibly 80 degrees tomorrow along with an increasingly moist flow ahead of an approaching cold front will cause a surge of surface based instability by tomorrow afternoon. The 18z NAM has around 1500 J/KG while 12z ECMWF has us barely cracking 500 J/KG. One of the biggest limiting factors will be any clouds or showers tomorrow morning which would limit destabilization. 

 

Although the greatest shear looks to be a bit further North, we should still have about 30-40kts to work with a modestly unstable atmosphere.

 

Accordingly, SPC has placed Western areas in a marginal risk for severe thunderstorms on the latest day 2 outlook. This may need to be upgraded tomorrow depending on cloudiness.

 

Currently, conditions are nearly overcast at my location.
