Day 1 Convective Outlook
NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
1147 PM CST Fri Nov 19 2021
Valid 201200Z - 211200Z
...NO SEVERE THUNDERSTORM AREAS FORECAST...
...SUMMARY...
Severe thunderstorms are not forecast across the contiguous United
States on Saturday.
...Discussion...
Modest amplification of the upper flow field over the U.S. will
occur today, as a weak/positively tilted trough over the
Intermountain West shifts eastward, and eventually begins to
interact/phase with a stronger feature within the polar stream
digging southeastward across the Canadian Prairie.
At the surface, high pressure will continue to prevail over the
east, while a reinforcing cold front -- at the leading edge of a
cold Canadian airmass -- moves into the north-central U.S.
overnight.
Thunder potential across most of the country remains negligible. A
lightning flash or two may occur over the Colorado vicinity as the
upper trough passes, and a few flashes could occur late, over the
Ozarks/mid Mississippi Valley vicinity in a zone of weak low-level
warm advection. The area where thunder appears most likely remains
confined to portions of the southern half of Florida, where a higher
theta-e boundary layer airmass will remain in place through the
period.
