Day 2 Convective Outlook
NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
1112 AM CST Wed Nov 10 2021
Valid 111200Z - 121200Z
...NO SEVERE THUNDERSTORM AREAS FORECAST...
...SUMMARY...
Severe thunderstorms are not expected on Thursday.
...Synopsis and Discussion...
Shortwave trough currently moving through the central and southern
Plains is forecast to reach the mid MS Valley early Thursday
morning. It is expected to continue northeastward throughout the day
Thursday, while also becoming more negatively tilted as it
accelerates in response as another fast-moving shortwave trough
moves through the northern/central Plains. At the surface, an
occluded low initially over the upper MS Valley will drift
northward/north-northwestward as secondary low develops along the
triple point over the OH Valley. A cold front will extend
southwestward from the triple point, which is forecast near the
central MO/IL border early Thursday morning, and progress
eastward/southeastward throughout the day.
Limited moisture return ahead of the front will result in an
increasingly narrow/limited warm sector north of the TN Valley where
the stronger forcing for ascent is expected. This displacement of
the better forcing for ascent from the more favorable low-level
moisture/buoyancy, as well as front-parallel deep-shear vectors, is
forecast to limit storm depth, persistence, and severity along and
ahead of the front. A damaging gust or two may occur within the
shallow convection across portions of the middle OH Valley and/or TN
Valley, but the very isolated nature of the coverage precludes
introducing any severe probabilities with this outlook. Much of this
activity is also expected to lack the updraft depth needed to
produce lightning.
Farther west, a few of the deeper updrafts may be able to produce
lightning along the Pacific Northwest coast, primarily early
Thursday morning and late Thursday night/early Friday morning.
