Day 1 Convective Outlook
NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
0138 PM CST Sat Dec 30 2017
Valid 302000Z - 311200Z
...NO THUNDERSTORM AREAS FORECAST...
...SUMMARY...
Thunderstorms are unlikely over the Lower 48 states through tonight.
...20Z Update...
Very isolated lightning was noted about an hour ago as a snow squall
moved from Lake Huron over the far northern tip of the lower MI
thumb. A lightning strike or two remains possible within any ongoing
or newly developed lake-effect bands but coverage will remain less
than 10%. Some isolated thunder also remains possible over the
western Gulf of Mexico as a surface low ejects northeastward but
land areas should remain void of any thunderstorms.
..Mosier.. 12/30/2017
.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 1005 AM CST Sat Dec 30 2017/
Surface high pressure will continue east of the Rockies with a
convectively stable environment in place over the CONUS. A weakly
unstable air mass is present over parts of the northwest and central
Gulf of Mexico. This may support an isolated thunderstorm over the
offshore Gulf waters south of the upper Texas and Louisiana coasts,
but overall thunderstorm probabilities are less than 10%.
