Day 3 Convective Outlook
NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
0104 AM CST Sat Nov 25 2017
Valid 271200Z - 281200Z
...NO THUNDERSTORM AREAS FORECAST...
...SUMMARY...
The potential for thunderstorms appears low across the contiguous
United States Monday into Monday night.
...Synopsis/Discussion...
A rather amplified mid/upper trough will advance from the Pacific
Coast eastward to the Rockies Monday. Meanwhile, a downstream ridge
will extend from Texas northeastward to the Great Lakes. On the
eastern periphery of this ridge, an impulse will progress from the
lower Mississippi Valley southward to the central Gulf, and
subsidence in its wake will maintain a surface ridge from the
Mississippi Valley to the East Coast. In turn, only a narrow sliver
of modest boundary-layer moisture will exist over the southern
Plains (on the western edge of the surface ridge). Regardless,
conditions east of the Rockies are forecast to remain too stable for
thunderstorm development.
To the west, large-scale ascent ahead of the mid/upper trough, in
tandem with orographic influences, may sufficiently cool mid-level
temperatures for an isolated lightning strike over the southern
Great Basin Monday evening into the overnight. However, forecast
buoyancy profiles appear too marginal/shallow for the inclusion of a
general-thunder area at this time.
