623 ACUS02 KWNS 200529 SWODY2 SPC AC 200528 Day 2 Convective Outlook NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 1228 AM CDT Sat Jul 20 2024 Valid 211200Z - 221200Z ...NO SEVERE THUNDERSTORM AREAS FORECAST... ...SUMMARY... Severe-thunderstorm potential is expected to be low on Sunday. ...Synopsis... A weak mid/upper flow regime will persist with upper ridging over the West and upper troughing over the eastern two-thirds of the CONUS. A seasonally moist and unstable airmass will envelop the south-central and southeast states into the Mid-Atlantic, and less moisture with northward extent across much of the eastern Plains into the Midwest. Widespread thunderstorm activity is expected from the southern/central Rockies into the Plains, Southeast and Mid-Atlantic. A few areas of convectively enhanced vorticity maxima may float through southwesterly flow over the Southeast to the Carolinas, and in northwesterly flow from the central/southern High Plains into OK/TX. Pockets of moderate destabilization will be rather widespread across the vast warm sector east of the Rockies. Sporadic strong storms producing gusty to locally damaging winds are possible across the central/southern Plains vicinity eastward across the southern tier of the U.S. Poor midlevel lapse rates and weak vertical shear, along with a lack of large-scale ascent, will preclude focused areas of organized severe convection. ..Leitman.. 07/20/2024 $$
