Day 1 Convective Outlook
NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
0648 PM CST Wed Dec 22 2021
Valid 230100Z - 231200Z
...NO SEVERE THUNDERSTORM AREAS FORECAST...
...SUMMARY...
A few lightning flashes are possible with near-coastal convection
tonight. Gusty winds may accompany this activity.
...Pacific Northwest...
Pre frontal band of low-topped convection has developed ahead of the
upper trough just off the WA Coast. Lightning is very sparse with
this offshore activity as buoyancy is quite limited. While wind
fields/shear support organized updrafts, cool boundary-layer
conditions over land are yielding MUCAPE values generally less than
100 J/kg, and this is not expected to rise appreciably. Although
immediate coastal areas may destabilize a bit due to more favorable
trajectories off the water. Even so, the prospect for organized
severe wind appears too low to warrant MRGL Risk overnight. Gusty
winds are the primary risk with the low-topped convection as it
moves inland over the next several hours.
