Day 1 Convective Outlook
NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
0632 AM CST Tue Dec 14 2021
Valid 141300Z - 151200Z
...NO SEVERE THUNDERSTORM AREAS FORECAST...
...SUMMARY...
Isolated thunderstorms are possible across eastern and south
Florida, as well as along the West Coast and from parts of
California to the Four Corners region.
...Southwest...
A highly amplified mid/upper trough near the West Coast will shift
inland as an intense mid-level speed max rotates through the basal
portion of the trough over southern CA and AZ. Very strong forcing
for ascent should support multiple shallow convective bands,
initially across southern CA within a low-level warm-conveyor regime
and later along a sharpening cold front that will sweep east across
the CO River Valley. Forecast soundings suggest buoyancy will remain
scant along the southern CA coast with mid-level lapse rates
unsupportive of deeper convection for appreciable lightning. From
the Lower CO Valley to the Four Corners area, strong to severe
gradient wind gusts are expected both ahead of and behind the
surging cold front. However, MUCAPE should hold below 100 J/kg and
this will limit convective contributions to background high wind
gusts.
...Eastern/south FL...
Moist easterly low-level flow will persist through the period
yielding multiple rounds of scattered showers and isolated
thunderstorms within a weakly unstable air mass. Poor mid-level
lapse rates and low shear will limit potential for storm-scale
organization.
