Day 1 Convective Outlook
NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
1129 PM CST Fri Nov 26 2021
Valid 271200Z - 281200Z
...NO THUNDERSTORM AREAS FORECAST...
...SUMMARY...
Thunderstorms are not forecast across the contiguous United States
on Saturday.
...Discussion...
Gradual amplification of the upper flow pattern over the U.S. is
expected today, as short-wave troughing progressing southeastward
across the Canadian Priairie provinces and northern/central Plains
states eventually begins phasing with a southern-stream trough
crossing the south-central states. The eventual result will be a
broad trough over the East, and upstream ridging over the West.
At the surface, a weak low/front will shift out of the Plains and
across the mid and lower MS/OH/TN valleys with time, while high
pressure prevails elsewhere.
With a continental airmass largely in place over the U.S., little
potential for thunderstorms is evident. The lone exception could be
across the Texas vicinity, where a few sporadic lightning flashes
could occur with weak/elevated convection, within an area of
QG-forced precipitation associated with the aforementioned upper
short-wave trough. However, coverage appears likely to remain
sparse, precluding inclusion of the 10% area.
