EWP STATUS FOR 13 JUNE 2012: 1-9pm SHIFT
On Wednesday, we will begin our shift at 1 p.m. The operational models depict a weak shortwave trough entering the northern Plains, which may serve as a focus for convection in its vicinity. While forecast thermodynamic profiles are supportive of severe convection over a broad portion of the Plains, forecast kinematic profiles are not as favorable. There may be some juxtaposition of the aforementioned in the central Plains, but it is unclear at this time where this may occur. Therefore, we will wait until tomorrow to suggest possible CWAs suitable for product evaluation.
