Sample day 1 convective outlook text page (from the spc's rss file) day 1 convective outlook nws storm prediction center norman ok 0743 am cdt mon jun 17 2013 valid 171300z - 181200z ...there is a slgt risk of svr tstms over the cntrl and srn high plains... ...synopsis... a high-latitude blocking pattern will be maintained from the nern pacific across canada with a slight amplification of the large-scale pattern over the conus. a multi-stream series of vorticity maxima will translate through this flow regime...the most notable of which will traverse the great lakes region and upper midwest. in the low levels...the primary baroclinic zone will remain along the srn periphery of stronger midlevel flow from the cntrl high plains ewd through the mid/lower-mo and oh valleys to mid-atlantic states. farther to the n...a cold front will settle swd into the great lakes and new england in tandem with the above-mentioned impulses progressing through the base of a mid/upper-level low over quebec. over the srn plains...a nocturnal mcs has established an outflow boundary across wrn and nrn parts of tx. ...cntrl/srn high plains this afternoon into tonight... a wly midlevel flow regime will replenish the eml across the region today atop a relatively moist boundary layer with afternoon mlcape values of 1500-3000 j/kg. low-level upslope flow...and convergence along the synoptic front and/or residual outflow boundaries will foster the development of widely scattered tstms through the peak of the diurnal heating cycle. similar to sunday...initial storm mode will likely be supercellular owing to 35-45 of effective bulk shear with large hail being the primary hazard. aggregating storm-scale cold pools will promote upscale growth of storms into sewd-moving clusters by late evening with the risk for isolated damaging winds and hail persisting into the overnight hours. ...lower elevations of the cntrl/srn plains into mid/lower-ms and lower-oh valleys this afternoon and evening... a large mcs extending from an mcv over ern ks into n-cntrl tx is currently in a state of decay. however...the interaction of a sufficiently strong/deep cold pool with a very moist...moderately unstable environment will maintain an isolated damaging wind threat across nrn tx this morning. by afternoon...low-level uplift along the leading edge of the residual cold pool will promote renewed tstm development within a weakly sheared but moderately to strongly unstable air mass. locally damaging wet microbursts appear to be the primary hazard owing to the high pw air mass and potential for excessive water loading within convective downdrafts. ...great lakes into new england this afternoon and evening... isolated to widely scattered tstms will be possible along a sewd-moving cold front this afternoon as deep ascent is augmented by a series of vorticity maxima rotating around the quebec upper low. deep-layer shear will be sufficiently strong for organized/rotating updrafts capable of hail and locally damaging wind gusts. the primary factor limiting a more robust severe weather threat appears to be the marginal amount of instability forecast. ..mead/cohen.. 06/17/2013 #weatherapp
