Day 2 Convective Outlook
NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
1200 AM CST Tue Nov 16 2021
Valid 171200Z - 181200Z
...NO SEVERE THUNDERSTORM AREAS FORECAST...
...SUMMARY...
Severe thunderstorms appear unlikely across the contiguous United
States on Wednesday.
...Synopsis and Discussion...
An upper trough/low will move eastward across central Canada and
from the Plains to the Midwest/Great Lakes on Wednesday. At the
surface, a low over southern Manitoba Wednesday morning should
develop eastward across Ontario through the day. A cold front
extending from this low is forecast to sweep generally
east-southeastward across the Midwest/Great Lakes, mid/lower MS
Valley, and southern Plains through the period.
Modest low-level moisture return will occur ahead of the cold front,
but surface dewpoints are expected to mostly remain in the mid to
upper 50s. Various forecast soundings across the warm sector
indicate that a low-level inversion should inhibit the potential for
convection through much of the day. This cap will gradually be
eroded as lift associated with the upper trough overspreads parts of
the southern Plains, lower MS Valley, and Mid-South Wednesday
evening/night. Isolated thunderstorms may eventually develop along
the front across these areas, but instability will likely remain
quite weak. There should also be a tendency for any storms that form
to be quickly undercut by the front and become elevated. Even with
some modest enhancement to the deep-layer shear associated with the
upper trough, the previously described limiting factors should keep
the overall severe threat low on Wednesday.
