844 ACUS03 KWNS 221934 SWODY3 SPC AC 221933 Day 3 Convective Outlook NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0233 PM CDT Sun Sep 22 2024 Valid 241200Z - 251200Z ...NO SEVERE THUNDERSTORM AREAS FORECAST... ...SUMMARY... Severe thunderstorm potential appears low on Tuesday. ...Synopsis... Broad troughing aloft will continue over much of the northern/central Plains into the Midwest on Tuesday. A lead shortwave perturbation will initially be located in the Ozarks/lower Ohio Valley region and move northeastward and weaken with time. In the Plains, another shortwave perturbation will dig southward into the southern Plains by Wednesday morning. This feature will get cut off from the stronger upper-level flow in the Upper Great Lakes. Overall, a generally weakening upper-level system will promote weak to modest height falls across parts of the Tennessee Valley with a weak cold front/surface low moving slowly eastward with time. ...Tennessee Valley... Early day precipitation potential will again be possible. The location and degree of surface destabilization remains in question. It is possible for a few storms to develop during the afternoon along the cold front. Mid-level flow will be sufficient for modest storm organization in the strongest storms. However, continued poor mid-level lapse rates and lack of focused forcing for ascent leaves coverage of potentially severe storms in doubt. While a conditional threat for isolated large hail and damaging winds may develop, severe probabilities will be withheld and trends in guidance will continue to be monitored. ..Wendt.. 09/22/2024 $$
