SPC AC 190500
Day 1 Convective Outlook
NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
1100 PM CST Thu Nov 18 2021
Valid 191200Z - 201200Z
...NO SEVERE THUNDERSTORM AREAS FORECAST...
...SUMMARY...
The risk for thunderstorms appears negligible across most of the
U.S. today through tonight.
...Discussion...
Models indicate renewed amplification within the westerlies across
the eastern Pacific during this period, including building mid-level
ridging to the west of the Pacific coast. However, flow across much
of interior North America may continue to trend more zonal, in the
wake of a significant mid-level trough now approaching the northern
through middle Atlantic Seaboard.
The mid-level trough is forecast to progress into the Canadian
Maritimes and off the U.S. coast today through tonight, with the
center of an associated broad, occluded surface cyclone migrating
from northern Quebec into the Labrador Sea. While the trailing cold
front will advance away from much of the Atlantic Seaboard, it
appears that it will gradually stall and weaken beneath the zonal
regime across the Florida Peninsula.
Generally dry and/or stable conditions will prevail across much of
the U.S., but scattered thunderstorm activity is possible within a
moist easterly pre-frontal low-level flow regime across parts of
southern Florida, mainly the offshore Atlantic into the vicinity of
eastern coastal areas.
