Day 1 Convective Outlook
NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
0649 PM CST Wed Nov 24 2021
Valid 250100Z - 251200Z
...NO SEVERE THUNDERSTORM AREAS FORECAST...
...SUMMARY...
Thunderstorms are expected this evening and overnight from parts of
the southern Plains into the Ozarks and mid Mississippi Valley.
...Discussion...
Eastward progression of a north-central U.S. upper trough, toward
the Great Lakes/Midwest, will continue overnight. This will support
continued eastward/southeastward advance of a cold front, that
currently stretches from Wisconsin southwestward to Oklahoma and the
Texas South Plains region.
Showers have begun to develop near the front, from Illinois to
northwestern Texas, and in a zone of pre-frontal warm advection zone
over central/eastern portions of Texas. With time, expect scattered
thunderstorms to evolve from the Ozarks southward.
Instability is forecast to remain quite limited across the region,
which should limit convective intensity. Small hail will be
possible with elevated storms over northern portions of this region,
but severe-caliber hail is not expected. Farther south into
eastern/southeastern portions of Texas, a more moist boundary layer
is indicated, beneath weak mid-level lapse rates. While some
low-level veering of the wind field is indicated, weaker flow above
-- in the 850 to 700mb layer -- combined with limited CAPE should
preclude an appreciable risk for even a brief/weak tornado.
