DAY 1 CONVECTIVE OUTLOOK
NWS STORM PREDICTION CENTER NORMAN OK
1157 PM CST FRI DEC 26 2008
VALID 271200Z - 281200Z
...THERE IS A SLGT RISK OF SVR TSTMS ACROSS PARTS OF THE SRN
PLAINS...OZARK PLATEAU AND LOWER TO MID-MS VALLEY...
...SRN PLAINS/OZARK PLATEAU/LOWER TO MID-MS VALLEY...
A WELL-DEVELOPED UPPER-LEVEL TROUGH LOCATED ACROSS THE FOUR CORNERS
REGION WILL MOVE EWD ACROSS THE ROCKIES AND INTO THE GREAT PLAINS
TODAY. AHEAD OF THE SYSTEM...THE CENTER OF A BROAD 50 TO 65 KT
LOW-LEVEL JET WILL MOVE NNEWD ACROSS THE OZARK PLATEAU AROUND MIDDAY
AND INTO THE LOWER OH VALLEY BY LATE THIS AFTERNOON. WEST OF THE
LOW-LEVEL JET...MODEL FORECASTS ARE IN AGREEMENT WITH A
WELL-ORGANIZED SQUALL-LINE ONGOING AT 12Z THIS MORNING WITH THE LINE
ADVANCING EWD ACROSS WRN MO...ERN OK AND NE TX THIS MORNING. THE
SQUALL-LINE SHOULD REACH ERN MO...ERN AR AND WRN LA BY LATE THIS
AFTERNOON AND MAY WEAKEN SOME AS THE LOW-LEVEL JET MOVES NNEWD AWAY
FROM THE REGION.
FORECAST SOUNDINGS ACROSS THE SRN PLAINS AND OZARK PLATEAU SHOW VERY
STRONG VERTICAL SHEAR PROFILES AT 12Z TO 15Z WITH 0-6 KM SHEAR
VALUES GENERALLY RANGING FROM AROUND 50 KT OVER EAST TX AND LA TO
ABOVE 80 KT OVER SE KS AND PARTS OF WRN MO. ALTHOUGH THE MODELS SHOW
MLCAPE VALUES GENERALLY BELOW 750 J/KG...THE STRONG VERTICAL SHEAR
COMBINED WITH ENHANCED LARGE-SCALE ASCENT ASSOCIATED WITH THE
APPROACHING UPPER-LEVEL TROUGH...LIFT ALONG THE WRN EDGE OF THE
LOW-LEVEL JET AND STRONG LOW-LEVEL CONVERGENCE SHOULD SUPPORT A
SEVERE LINEAR MCS THIS MORNING. FORECAST SOUNDINGS ALSO SHOW 50-60
KT OF FLOW AT 1 KM ACROSS THE CNTRL PART OF THE SLIGHT RISK AREA
SUGGESTING A MORE WIDESPREAD WIND DAMAGE THREAT MAY EXIST AS THE
SQUALL-LINE ADVANCES EWD ACROSS THE OZARK PLATEAU. A FEW TORNADOES
MAY OCCUR IN THE LINE ITSELF OR WITH ISOLATED SUPERCELLS THAT
DEVELOP AHEAD OF THE LINE. FURTHER NNE ACROSS THE MID-MS
VALLEY...FORECAST SOUNDINGS SUGGEST THE STORMS WILL LIKELY BE
SLIGHTLY ELEVATED SUGGESTING THE WIND DAMAGE THREAT SHOULD NOT BE AS
WIDESPREAD FROM CNTRL MO EWD ACROSS SRN IL.
THE SQUALL-LINE WILL ALSO AFFECT AREAS SOUTH ACROSS SRN AR...EAST TX
AND WRN LA. ALTHOUGH INSTABILITY MAY BE A BIT STRONGER THAN AREAS TO
THE NORTH...FORECAST SOUNDINGS ACROSS THE REGION SUGGEST LOW-LEVEL
FLOW WILL WEAKEN WITH TIME LATE THIS MORNING INTO THE EARLY
AFTERNOON. THIS SUGGESTS...THE WIND DAMAGE THREAT SHOULD GRADUALLY
BECOME MORE ISOLATED AS THE LINE ADVANCES INTO THE LOWER MS VALLEY
THIS AFTERNOON. ALTHOUGH THE SQUALL-LINE SHOULD CONTINUE EWD ACROSS
MS AND WRN TN THIS EVENING INTO THE OVERNIGHT PERIOD...WEAK
INSTABILITY AND DECREASING LOW-LEVEL FLOW SHOULD KEEP ANY SEVERE
THREAT MARGINAL.

MESOSCALE DISCUSSION 2528
NWS STORM PREDICTION CENTER NORMAN OK
1207 AM CST SAT DEC 27 2008
AREAS AFFECTED...PORTIONS OF WRN AND CNTRL OK
CONCERNING...SEVERE POTENTIAL...WATCH POSSIBLE
VALID 270607Z - 270730Z
THE POTENTIAL FOR SEVERE STORMS IS EXPECTED TO INCREASE OVERNIGHT
ACROSS DISCUSSION AREA AND CONVECTIVE TRENDS ARE BEING MONITORED FOR
A POSSIBLE WW.
LATEST MESOANALYSIS INDICATES REMNANT DRYLINE WHICH IS NOW MORE
CHARACTERIZED AS A PACIFIC FRONT EXTENDING FROM WOODS COUNTY SWWD
THROUGH ROGER MILLS COUNTY INTO THE SERN TX PNHDL. A MORE INTENSE
COLD FRONT PUSHING SWD THROUGH WRN KS AND THE OK INTO NRN TX PNHDLS
WILL OVERTAKE THE PACIFIC FRONT WITHIN THE NEXT COUPLE OF HOURS.
LATEST TRENDS IN RADAR...SATELLITE AND LIGHTNING DATA INDICATE A
STEADY INCREASE IN CONVECTIVE DEVELOPMENT ALONG THE FRONT OVER NWRN
OK. PRESUMABLY...THIS IS A RESULT OF STRONGER HEIGHT FALLS
ASSOCIATED WITH PRIMARY UPPER TROUGH BEGINNING TO OVERSPREAD WRN
EXTENSION OF LOW-LEVEL MOISTURE/INSTABILITY AXIS. THIS ACTIVITY IS
LIKELY ELEVATED...BUT WITH TIME SURFACE-BASED STORM DEVELOPMENT
APPEARS LIKELY AS SURFACE FRONT PROGRESSES EWD/SEWD THROUGH
INSTABILITY AXIS.
RELATIVELY WEAK LAPSE RATES WILL CONTINUE TO LIMIT THE DEVELOPMENT
OF MORE ROBUST CONVECTIVE INSTABILITY OVERNIGHT...BUT THE PRESENCE
OF LOWER 60S DEWPOINTS WILL CONTRIBUTE TO MLCAPE OF AROUND 500 J/KG.
DESPITE THE MODEST INSTABILITY...THE STRONG...AMBIENT VERTICAL
SHEAR AND INCREASING LARGE-SCALE ASCENT WILL LIKELY SUPPORT THE
DEVELOPMENT OF ORGANIZED STORMS CAPABLE OF MAINLY DAMAGING WIND
GUSTS AND HAIL. A TORNADO OR TWO IS POSSIBLE WITH ANY MORE DISCRETE
SUPERCELLS THAT MAY DEVELOP.

Re: Post-Christmas severe weather outbreak?
looks to me supercells are trying to develop just ahead of the squall line in eastern oklahoma. this could spell trouble for much of arkansas today, especially once heating pushes temps well into the 70s. i still think severe weather could get as far north as chicago today - this is exactly what happened in january when the warm sector pushed up to the edge of the deep snowpack (and there were rare strong tornadoes in southeast wisconsin along the front).
i can't believe how fast our snow has melted overnight - we had 16" on the ground yesterday, and it's down to about 5 or 6 now. we're nearing our record high temperature this morning, and many have already been broken in surrounding areas.

CURRENTLY RANGING FROM AROUND 500 J/KG MIXED-LAYER CAPE OVER NRN

PROGRESSIVELY-LESS UNSTABLE AIRMASS...GIVEN THE LIMITED POTENTIAL
FOR HEATING AND THE EXPECTED LACK COOLING ALOFT ATOP MOST OF THE
RISK AREA AS THE UPPER TROUGH SHIFTS QUICKLY NEWD.
NONETHELESS...INSTABILITY SHOULD BE SUFFICIENT THROUGH AT LEAST THE
FIRST HALF OF THE PERIOD -- GIVEN THE STRONGLY-SHEARED ENVIRONMENT

INCLUDING THE THREAT FOR STRONG/DAMAGING WINDS AND A COUPLE OF
TORNADOES -- APPEARS TO EXTEND FROM W CENTRAL IL AND MUCH OF MO SWD

VALID 271403Z - 271600Z
THE SEVERE WEATHER THREAT FOR TORNADO WATCH
957...959...960...CONTINUES.
SHORT WAVE TROUGH EMANATING FROM THE SOUTHERN ROCKIES MAY BECOME
INCREASINGLY SHEARED ACROSS THE SOUTH CENTRAL PLAINS LATER THIS
MORNING. BUT...ASSOCIATED FORCING FOR UPWARD VERTICAL MOTION IS
EXPECTED TO REMAIN SUFFICIENTLY STRONG TO MAINTAIN FRONTAL
CONVECTIVE BAND EASTWARD INTO/THROUGH THE LOWER MISSOURI VALLEY/
OZARK PLATEAU/ARKLATEX REGION THROUGH MIDDAY. BY 17-18Z...THE
LEADING EDGE OF THE SQUALL LINE IS EXPECTED TO BE NEAR/EAST OF

TEXARKANA. GUIDANCE SUGGESTS THIS WILL OCCUR COINCIDENT WITH A
CONTINUED INTENSIFICATION OF THE LOW-LEVEL JET...WITH SOUTHERLY 850
MB WINDS PROGGED TO STRENGTHEN FROM 60 TO 70+ KTS. STRONG TO
EXTREME LOW-LEVEL SHEAR WILL ENHANCE THE RISK FOR LOW-LEVEL
MESOCYCLONES WITH TORNADOES AND LOCALIZED VERY STRONG WIND GUSTS
WITHIN THE LINE...PARTICULARLY AS THE MOIST PRE-FRONTAL BOUNDARY
LAYER BEGINS TO WARM MORE SUBSTANTIALLY LATER THIS MORNING.
OTHERWISE...ADDITIONAL CONVECTIVE DEVELOPMENT IS IN THE PROCESS OF
DEVELOPING/INTENSIFYING AHEAD OF THE FRONT. AND...POTENTIAL EXISTS
FOR MORE DISCRETE SUPERCELLS TO EVENTUALLY EVOLVE OUT OF THIS
