...NO THUNDERSTORM AREAS FORECAST...
...SUMMARY...
Thunderstorms are not expected across the contiguous United States
through early Sunday.
...20z update...
Widespread cloud cover and offshore flow will continue to limit the
potential for thunderstorm activity across south Texas to offshore
late this evening. The previous discussion remains valid with no
changes. See below for additional information.

.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 1021 AM CST Sat Nov 27 2021/
...Synopsis...
Within the southern stream of the mid-level westerlies, a weak upper
low over northern Mexico and West Texas will transition to an open
shortwave trough as it moves east and is absorbed by a larger
synoptic trough over the northeastern CONUS. At the surface, a cool
post-frontal airmass over central and southern Texas will undergo
minimal modification through the day, with widespread showers and
cloud cover limiting diurnal heating north of the remnant coastal
front. Regional observed and model soundings show generally weak
lapse rates, less than 6.5 C/km, through the column despite cooling
temperatures aloft. The net effect will be insufficient buoyancy
available for updrafts capable of lightning as the core of the
shortwave trough moves over south Texas this afternoon and evening.
A secondary cold front and weak cyclogenesis along the coastal front
will reinforce offshore flow as cold air ahead of strengthening
surface high pressure over the interior CONUS will scour remaining
moisture late tonight into early Sunday, precluding thunderstorm
development over the CONUS.
