UMB WX Posted May 16, 2017 Share Posted May 16, 2017 I pray we have time to get notice out to the public.. Slow severe times I guess lends itself to questioning the pro's. No different in winter when we disagree with winter watches and such. The severe core is pretty tight and knowledgeable here so I get the questioning.

Yes, with risk outlook especially in the 2 day range, I would rather go too high and pull back later vs ratcheting up through the day of the event where people can get caught off guard. I do fully expect the new day 2 to at the very least be a slight risk but it could even be an enhanced risk, the potential is certainly there.

Indystorm Posted May 16, 2017 Share Posted May 16, 2017 May 3, 1999 in OK was the classic day of ratcheting up of svr probs during the day in successive outlooks and I think there may be some situations where it is just not possible to determine mesoscale influences on general parameters too far in advance. Our knowledge and technology has increased since that classic day so I do agree with Stebo that the sooner we can get notice out to the public within a reasonable time the better. I was also thinking of that high risk/PDS tor watch situation that busted in the southeast earlier this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chinook Posted May 17, 2017 Share Posted May 17, 2017 Tomorrow (5/17) I think eastern Iowa, northern Illinois, and all of Wisconsin will get some relatively fast-moving storms capable of severe weather. The 12 km NAM soundings have 2500 J/kg of CAPE, 150 m2/s2 of SRH and 63 kt of deep layer shear. All modes of severe weather are possible and an enhanced outlook could be issued tomorrow.

With parameters like the ones in place tomorrow, wind is probably going to be the biggest threat. However, with 0-1km SRH values in the 200-300m2s2 range. Tornado potential is certainly there, and would be maximized if a discrete/semi-discrete storm mode becomes preferred. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tornado potential is certainly there, and would be maximized if a discrete/semi-discrete storm mode becomes preferred. Discrete/semi-discrete is dominant on all of the current convective allowing guidance and it's not too hard to see why given the strength/orientation of the shear vectors to the pre-frontal trough.

Yep... convective mode can be tricky to pin down but I don't see a convincing argument against discrete convection or a semi discrete line of supercells. Besides what you mentioned about shear vectors relative to the boundary, we don't really have massive height falls plowing across much of the warm sector.

jojo762 Posted May 17, 2017 Share Posted May 17, 2017 This event sneaked up in a hurry. No matter what time storms develop during the afternoon, they will quickly acquire both mid-level and low-level rotation. Favorable deep-layer vectors indicate that supercell storm mode will be highly favored. Sufficient instability and moisture + rather prodigious deep-layer and low-level shear... Has all the makings of a significant severe episode across IA/MO/IL. Looks like we will see quite a dramatic uptick in severe probabilities, from no delineated area on the D3 to a marginal in the first day 2 to a slight on the 2nd D2, likely to at least an ENH if not a MDT on the D1 at some point.

cyclone77 Posted May 17, 2017 Share Posted May 17, 2017 The CAMS definitely have a concerning look to them for the DVN cwa later tomorrow. Dynamics and shear profiles will certainly be in place. Only question is just how unstable will it become in the instability axis. This has the potential to be a pretty significant event to be sure.

As far as the eastward extent of the better threat, I'd say perhaps into north central IL. But some threat should exist farther eastward into Chicago metro.

Tim from Springfield (IL) Posted May 17, 2017 Share Posted May 17, 2017 Might want to add Saturday (May 20) to this thread--SPC doesn't have anything outlined for Saturday yet but ILX begs to differ: .LONG TERM...(Thursday night through Tuesday) ISSUED AT 345 AM CDT Wed May 17 2017 Cold front to push south toward I-70 by midnight Thu night and and south of CWA and into ohio river valley by Friday morning. Some short wave energy interacting with frontal boundary overnight THu night into Friday to increase chances of showers and thunderstorms from sw to ne during that time. highs Friday range from mid to upper 60s northern CWA to the upper 70s in southeast IL. Main upper level low/trof ejects ne from sw into the Midwest on Saturday along with deepening surface low pressure. This to lift front back north across central IL late Fri night and Saturday morning. Showers and thunderstorms look likely during overnight Fri night into Sat and could be some strong to possibly severe storms on Saturday as cold front moves in sat night. Warmer Sat with highs in the low to mid 80s, expect upper 70s far north. Models have trended quicker with bringing drier air east into central IL on Sunday with qpf east of IL river Sunday morning and near Wabash river valley Sunday afternoon, though GFS is slower than ECWMF model with this trend. Weak 1020 mb surface high pressure builds into areas overnight Sunday night into Monday bringing dry and cooler weather. Highs Sunday mostly in the low to mid 70s, then mostly lower 70s on Monday. chances of showers and thunderstorms return to IL river valley overnight Monday night and across area Tue into Wed with highest pops (likely chances) Tue night and Wed. Highs 70-75F on Tue and then mid to upper 60s on Wed with Lawrenceville around 70F as strong upper level trof digs into IL by Wed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
